Soda's POV

Steve nudged me, and I nudged him back. Suddenly, Steve put me in a headlock and whispered in my ear. "Do it now. She's at 99, if you don't do it some random guy will. Then she might fall for him, and you won't have a chance." Steve told me.

I nodded and Steve let me go. I looked over at Ember and she hadn't been paying attention. Now if I only could think of what to say.

"Um…Ember?" I said nervously. I hardly ever was nervous especially around girls. Why was she any different? 'Because you love her.' A voice in my head said. "You're at 99 right?" Ember nodded. She looked a little scared. "You look like a movie star." Ember looked up at me confused.

"Wah…" She tired to ask. I just kissed her and started to run out the door.

Ember's POV

Everyone walked out the door, while I still stood there in shock. Soda kissed me….Soda kissed me. The guy I have a huge crush on kissed me. I couldn't believe it. If it was a dream I didn't want to wake up. I had been kissed, my first kiss, by Soda.

"Wow…" I let out the breath I didn't know I'd been holding in.

"Ember you coming?" Amber said peaking in through the front door. "Are you just going to stand there?"

"I…I'm coming." I said and headed out. "I can't believe he kissed me." I said to my twin.

"You can't believe it." She said. Amber was looking at me like I was a complete idiot. "Ember, he's been staring at you all the time. It's about time that you two finally kissed. It was obvious to everyone, but you two."

"Oh really? What about you and Johnny? You both do the same thing." Amber blushed.

"I…I didn't know."

"We are too much alike." I said with a laugh.

"What about Suzy and Darry?" Amber asked. "Is the plan still in progress?"

"It should be….Tim should be here right about…."

"Ladies." A voice said behind us. "Did I hear my name?"

"Hey, Tim." I said turning around to look at the hood. "You ready to do your part?"

"I'm only doin' it for Suzy." Tim said.

"We know. Suzy was your best friend and you owe her a lot, and Darry has giving you a place to stay when ya needed it." Amber and I said together.

"So are you up for it?" I asked. "We dared her a while ago, but since I just got kissed by Soda. She doesn't have to kiss Darry, but she was still dared to do it. That's why Amber contacted you. We need you to make sure her dare goes through."

"Why me?"

"Because you're not supposed to know about Suzy liking Darry, and she'd never think that you'd hold her to a dare that you didn't know about."

"What makes' ya think that?"

"Her diary." My twin and I said in unison. Suzy really had to hide that thing better. "Now go!" We pushed him towards Suzy who was talking to Tim's sister Angela.

Suzy's POV

"I don't really know. He's cute and all……" Angela said.

"Look. He's probably not right for you so don't even bother. You don't wanna end up like half the women I see. You don't need or want to have a baby to take care of at your age. You have to make sure Tim don't kill nobody and Curly doesn't end up in jail." I told her.

"Hey Suzy?" Tim said. I knew he was up to no good.

"Timothy."

"Will you quit callin' me that?"

"Maybe."

"Okay then Susan. You still need to hold up your side of a dare."

'How did he know about that?' I thought. I looked over his shoulder and saw the twins smiling at me. 'Those two are so dead when I get my hands on them.'

"I don't know what ya talkin' 'bout." I said with a straight face.

"Oh. Ya don't well. I think ya do with….your accent coming through." He whispered to me.

"I hate you." I said.

"I know ya do. Now just get over there and finish the dare." I sighed as he pushed me towards Darry.

"Fine I'm goin'."

'This is only for Amber and Johnny to get together, and then Ember has to kiss Soda.' I thought. It brought an idea to me. I walked over to the twins. They looked at me confused.

"You have to kiss Johnny." I said to Amber. "And you have to kiss Soda 'cause that's part of the deal."

"No…no…wait." They tried to stammer out.

"I don' wanna here excuses." I said pulling them along. "Johnny's with Pony, so you have to go find them, Amber. And you'll have to kiss Soda. 'Cause he's your 100th and you have to 'cause Amber and I'll kiss our guys."

"Fine." Ember said. "Just let us go and go kiss Darry."

"I will." I said.

Walking over to Darry was the hardest thing I've done in a while. He looked at me when I came over, but finished his conversation with one of his co-workers.

"Hey." He said to me.

"Hey, I just had something to say." He looked worried. I got to say. I'm looking worried only made me more nervous. I took a deep breath. "Well, Darry. I've liked you since before I came back to Tulsa. Due to a dare I have to do this." I said kissing him. We broke apart and I turned to leave.

He grabbed my arm. "Suzy." I turned to look at him. "I like you too." He said pulling me into another kiss. I heard a bunch of whistles and catcalls.

Amber's POV

"Okay Suzy did it. Your turn." Ember said smirking at me.

"And then it's yours." I said to her. Her smirk faded. I looked over to see Johnny, Pony, and Dally all standing next to a table with a bunch of drinks on it. I think they were trying to convince Dally not to spike the punch for the younger kids.

"Just go so I can get it over with." She said.

"Fine." I said walking over to the three guys.

"Did you see Suzy and Darry are together now?" Pony asked me. I smiled and nodded. I couldn't believe I was doing this. I don't like to do things with people I haven't known for long.

"Yeah." I said. "Um Johnny?" Johnny turned my way. "I have something that you need to know."

"Yeah?" He said confused.

"I like you." I said kissing him. I could hear Ember's groan.

"I like you too." He said when we pulled away.

"Looks like we got two couples now." Pony said.

"I'd say three." I said. They looked at me. "Ember now has to kiss Soda."

"I gotta see that." Dally said. We followed Ember as she went to find Soda.

Ember's POV

'Man, they just had to kiss the guys. Now I have to go kiss Soda in front of SFC. (Soda Fan Club) This got to be the worst time. It would be a lot easier if I knew where the heck he was it's not like he'll just run into me.' I thought.

The next thing I know I get hit in the back. "Sorry Ember." Steve said. "I was looking for you. Soda's surrounded, and there's a bunch of guys looking for you too. I told them someone already got the prize and they left. Now Soda's surrounded by his fan club."

"Okay and I need to do what about it?" I asked

"Well, you need to go get the fan club off his back."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes. I overheard the dare when you were talking to Amber. Please do it for Soda?"

"Fine. I'll do it."

I let Steve lead me over to a horde of girls. You couldn't even see Soda in the middle. "Excuse me ladies." Steve said. "You have my best friend in the middle and I need to talk to him." The girls parted like the Red Sea and let him and I trough.

"Steve I need help!" Soda said. "They won't leave me alone. All of them want to be my girlfriend."

"Really? All of them?" I whispered just loud enough for Steve to hear.

"Well I have a solution." Steve said pushing me in front of him.

"Hey Soda." I said.

"Oh. Hey Ember. I'm sorry about earlier."

"No need. But since you did that I have to do this…." I leaned in and kissed him. The girls started to groan. And Soda put his arms around my waist making the kiss deeper.

"You see it. Soda has a new girl now move on!" Steve shouted.
