Hey peoples~ I'm back!

Listen, I know (And if you've read my past work, or know me, then you know this too) that I'm not a big fan of YxU, but isn't it just so FLIPPEN' OBVIOUS that Ulrich and Yumi are not just 'good friends and that's all'? I mean, how dense can you get? They're as bad as Jeremy and Aelita ^^

Hm... I wonder how long I can go on before you guys get annoyed. Yeah, I have problems with rambling. Your patience is probably wearing thin, so I will not keep you from this chapter any longer!

(Also, I forgo to mention, this takes place after season 4)

Yumi choked. Odd's jaw dropped. Peter started choking on his laughter. Jeremy and Aelita, unable to contain themselves, burst into laughter with him. Ulrich stared, dumbstruck.

"I... uh, um. I am not kissing Odd!" Yumi finally spluttered, faking a gag.

"You'll never be able to resist my charm!" Odd chuckled. "Odd..." Ulrich growled venomously. "Jealous much? Don't worry, I'm not taking taking your girlfriend or anything," Odd breezed. "You can have her."

Yumi and Ulrich blushed.

"She's not my girlfriend," Ulrich protested.

"We just good friends, and that's all," Yumi added quickly. Odd opened his mouth to retaliate, but Peter beat him to it.

"Doesn't seem that way, from what I've seen," he snorted. "You guys are unlike any I've ever seen. Very er... interesting. Yeah, that's it," Peter decided. "We are a special bunch," Odd agreed with a grin.

Without warning, he leaned across the circle and placed a kiss on Yumi's lips. He pulled away and wiped his mouth. "Wh-What?" Yumi spluttered. "Just be glad I got it over with," he wrinkled his nose, sticking out his tongue. Yumi turned away and pretended to throw up while Ulrich glared daggers at Odd.

"Your turn to spin," Peter grinned.

With a heavy sigh, Yumi took the bottle and spun. Two jaws dropped open. Once again, Peter burst out laughing and Odd did the same. "How funny is it now?" Odd chuckled.

Jeremy, who was very red in the face, glared at him. "Be. quiet." Of course, the bottle had landed on him.

"Um..." Yumi said awkwardly, a slight blush tinting her cheeks.

If possible, Jeremy blushed harder and ducked his head, unused to dealing with girls. Yumi's lips against his made him jerk up in surprise. She quickly pulled away and looked at her lap, managing to control her light pink blush. Jeremy was unable to as he flushed crimson.

"Your turn Romeo," Odd snickered. Despite his flushed cheeks, Jeremy still managed to glare at Odd, although it may not have been as intimidating because embarrassment was tampering with it. Jeremy reached and spun the bottle, keeping his eyes firmly locked on it so as not to meet the others gazes.

It slowed and stopped, landing almost pointed at him but slightly to the right. He followed the direction and immediately his blush flared up again. "Is this game going to be all kissing?" Peter wondered. The blushing duo looked to him before turning their attention back to each other, faces only a foot away.

Aelita smiled shyly at him, tilting her head in that adorable way of hers, at least to Jeremy.

He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. Anything further he might have said- or attempted to, for that matter- was cut off as Aelita closed her eyes and leaned forward, pressing her lips against his.

She pulled back with flushed cheeks and a smiling face.

Caution, brain overload in T-minus 10 seconds...

"I uh, um..." Jeremy struggled not to gape.

Overload in 8 seconds...

Aelita giggled, always finding it adorable to see him stumbled over his words.

5...

"Looks like you made him speechless," Odd noted.

4...3...

"Well, I-I uh um," Jeremy tried- but failed- once again to form a coherent sentence.

2...

Odd and Peter started snickering.

1...

Jeremy just stared at Aelita. "Hello?" she asked, peering at him. Odd gave him a shove, causing the thin bespectacled boy to almost fall over. Fortunately, he got his hands out in time and pushed himself up.

"You'll have plenty of time to stare at Aelita later Einstein, but right now it's her turn," Peter grinned. Jeremy flushed crimson and Aelita blushed, although not as badly. She grabbed the bottle and spun.

It turned, and turned, and turned, and turned... Aelita got slightly dizzy and she shook her head to clear the feeling. It came to rest on...

Peter. His grin fell as others rose.

"Looks like you were right Peter," Odd snickered. "I swear; I. Will. Kill. You," Peter hissed angrily, making every word clear and deliberate. "Maybe, but first you have to kiss Aelita!" Odd laughed. Peter looked as if he were about to strangle him. With a sigh and a slight blush, he turned to Aelita. Squeezing their eyes shut, the two blushing teens leaned in and gave each other a small peck on the lips.

When they pulled away, Odd started the teasing.

"Isn't Aelita in love with Jeremy? Why was she kissing you?" he asked, making a grossed out face and sticking his tongue out slightly. Peter glared and punched him in the shoulder. "Ow," he whined, punching back. Peter growled and tackled him. "Children, play nice!" Yumi exclaimed.

"Next time, I'm not babysitting," Jeremy huffed. "I'm going to the restroom," Aelita announced, standing and eying the scuffling boys warily. "That seems like a pretty good option," Yumi sighed, shaking her head. Aelita smiled as she rose, going up the stairs.

"Yumi, can I borrow a large pillow?" Jeremy asked. "Okay..." Yumi responded. Jeremy took a large pillow off of the sofa and started whacking the boys. "STOP! Bad dogs!" he yelled. Ulrich and Yumi grinned. After a few more seconds of whacking, the two reluctantly parted. "That seems to work," Yumi noted. "Maybe it would work better if you filled it with rocks," Ulrich suggested.

The two boys scooted away.

"Where's Aelita?" Odd inquired. "In the bathroom, escaping you two goons," Yumi huffed. Just then the girl in question came down the stairs. "How did you get them to stop fighting?" she asked incredulously.

"Courtesy of Yumi, I got a pillow and whacked them repeatedly until they quit," Jeremy informed her. She giggled. "Did you try filling it with bricks?" the pink haired girl inquired. Ulrich grinned. "That's even better," he chuckled. Aelita settled into the circle. "So... Peter's turn."

Peter took the bottle and spun. It landed on Jeremy. "Finally," Odd huffed.

"Truth or dare?" Peter inquired. "Dare," Jeremy responded, regretting it as soon as it came out. Peter gave an impish smile.

"I dare you to keep ice in your shirt for the rest of the game," he grinned. Jeremy scowled at him as the others halfheartedly attempted to stifle their laughter. "That's stupid. I'm not doing that," he snapped. "It's a dare Jeremy," Ulrich said. "Yeah, so you have to do it," Odd added. Jeremy glared as he grudgingly stood and walked into the kitchen.

If looks could kill.

He grabbed a handful of ice, walked into the living room, and dumped it down his shirt with a cringe. Jeremy settled back into his place by Aelita, glaring and trying not to squirm uncomfortably.

"I g-guess it's my turn," he said, teeth chattering. The ice itself wasn't that cold, but the air conditioner was blasted and he was even a little chilly before. The ice made him frozen. The bottle landed on Ulrich.

"Truth or d-dare?"

"Dare," Ulrich responded, thinking that Jeremy wouldn't be able to come up with a good one. How wrong he was.

"I d-dare you t-to kiss Yumi," Jeremy responded with a slight smile as his teeth kept chattering. Both of them flushed beet red. They looked at each other, Yumi giving Ulrich a shy, half smile. They leaned in and ever so slowly, they closed their eyes and their lips met.

The teens blushed harder and pulled away, knowing that everyone was watching them.

Still red in the face, Ulrich kept his gaze firmly locked on his lap as he spun. It slowed and finally stopped, and he followed the direction, looking up into the face of...

Aelita.

This did nothing to help his blush.

Aelita felt her cheeks turn the color of her hair.

As if on cue, the two teens leaned in and pressed their lips together. Hurriedly they pulled back, ignoring the snickers from Peter and Odd and keeping their eyes away from everyone else. "You're even more immature than when you were in second grade," Yumi huffed, shoving him. "What can I say? I've learned from the best," Peter directed a grin at Odd.

"I am not immature!" he exclaimed.

His only response was much laughter from the group.

"Aelita, your turn to spin."

As luck would have it, the bottle landed on none other than a certain blond bespectacled genius: Jeremy Belpois. He blushed furiously, whereas Aelita blushed lightly.

This time she didn't hesitate, putting a gentle hand on the side of his face and leaning forward, lips meeting. When the pinkette pulled away, she saw Jeremy's expression. It was slightly dazed. His mouth was gaping a bit, and a silly grin started growing on his face. Aelita giggled.

"On with the game, lovebirds," Peter snickered, causing the two to blush profusely.

Jeremy spun the bottle, coming to rest on Odd.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare," he yawned lazily.

"I dare you to go without eating for an hour."

Odd's eyes widened as everyone started grinning.

"WHAT? BUT LUNCH IS IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!"

"I suppose you'll have to wait an extra forty-five minutes," Jeremy snickered. "You are cruel!" he said, directing a glare at Jeremy. The bespectacled boy just grinned smugly. Odd reached to spin the bottle. It landed on Ulrich.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," Ulrich responded, not wanting to risk a dare.

"Do you like Yumi? As in, more than a friend?" Odd asked, impish smile starting to form on his face.

"I uh, um..." Ulrich turned a bright red. Yumi blushed almost as badly as he.

"I well..." again, Ulrich was unable to find words.

"Answer the question."

"Um... I... yeah," he finally confessed, blushing harder and staring at his lap. There was a small intake of breath via a certain black haired girl. "I knew it," Peter mumbled under his breath. Aelita silenced him with a jab from her elbow to his stomach. Keeping his gaze locked firmly on it, Ulrich spun the bottle again. It landed on Jeremy.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Do you like Aelita more than a friend?" Ulrich asked, posing the same question he had just been asked. Jeremy immediately turned bright red as everyone looked to him.

"I-I... Well, um..." the blond stammered, staring at his lap. Aelita started to blush.

"I... I've had enough of truth or dare," Jeremy finally mumbled, blushing furiously. "Me too," Aelita chimed, looking at the wall. Ulrich sighed.

Suddenly Jeremy started twitching.

"Did you get electrocuted or something?" Peter inquired. Jeremy glared. "N-No, the ice. It's f-freezing." He kept on squirming, wet spots appearing on his sweater.

"Okay guys, I think that's enough. You're going to make him catch a cold," Aelita said worriedly, putting a hand on his shoulder. He was shaking from the cold. "Okay," Peter sighed reluctantly. "I guess the game is over then," Yumi said. "Why don't you go take a hot shower," she suggested. Jeremy nodded gratefully.

Jeremy, Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, and Peter walked up the stairs to get their bags.

I know, it's sorta... long... but anyway, I hope you liked it!

~Ah, Truth or Dare spin the bottle~
