• Chapter 7 - Alyss
    Passion with..

    We were so close I could feel his breath on my neck. Our lips eventually touched and turned passionate. It wasn't BIG but it felt like it. Sara counted how long we managed. 4 seconds.. Hes perfect at kissing! 10 seconds.. Wonderful feeling! Electricity is running through my body! 17 seconds and we break apart. We were very red but smiling. It felt wonderful. Sara, who seemed a bit uncomfortabble with the scene, she still seemed pleased that I did the dare. I heard a little grumble and looked at Tetsuya. "Ha.. erm .. sorry I didn't eat anything except for the popcorn.." He gave a shy smile and Sara volunteered to get some food. "Wait! Sara! I'll get it. It IS my house after all." She looked at me, confused but I tried my best to look natural. Sara nodded and I ran out as fast I could. [Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh... I remembered why I came down. I grabbed two bags of chips and ran back up. They were playing rock, paper, scissors. " YEAH! Thats .. 5-2?!" I laughed at Tetsuya's exclamation. "Sara you losing?" She looked at me with a giddy smile on her face. "Yeah.. He seems to know what I'm going to play from time to time!" She looked at what I was carrying and grabbed the bag of Ruffles. "Mm... Thanks Alyss! My fav flavor!" With a disgusted look, but still smiling, " Chew with your mouth closed Sara.. We don't want to see whats going down." I laughed and we played with my little brother's Nerf guns he uses to play with his own friends.

    "Incoming missile towards Alyss's Wonderland base!" I ducked acknowledging what Tetsuya said. We had been playing for about an hour and still were. "10 minutes left on the clock!" "Take that Strawberry base!" I yelled. " Incoming towards the Strawberry base!" Sara rolled and dodged my foam missile. It went on like this for the ten minutes until Tetsuya showed us the hit board. "Alyss's Wonderland Military Base : 14 hits!" I cried out in joy. He slowly moved his hand away from Sara's points. " Sara's Strawberry Smoothie Base: 13 hits!" Sara's mouth opened is shock. "By one?!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME TETSUYA?!" She shook Tetsuya playfully and we fell on the pillow base for Sara's base and laughed. "I drank your base up Sara!" We laughed at the ridiculously corny joke and stared out at the ceiling. I yawned and rubbed my eyes. "What time is it?" Sara rolled over, looking at the time. " It is... WHAT?! We should sleep you two! It's .. 2 AM!" I looked over to see if she was lying. She wasn't. " Holy ...!" Tetsuya covered my mouth. "Hey! No swearing!" I laughed and yawned. "I guess we should. Sara and I take one side because were girls. You take the other side because your a boy." Tetsuya rolled his eyes and smiled. "Sexist Alyss?" I laughed and yawned in the middle. "Geesh Tetsuya! I'm not sexist. Just because." He reluctantly agreed leaving me and Sara on the side with the window. I lay awake on the ground, waiting for either of them to fall asleep. I heard Tetsuya's breathing slow and even. Now just wait for Sara to sleep... Eventually Sara's breathing became as even as Tetsuyas. I stood up and looked out the window and into the night sky. I don't want to leave this world anymore.. Why did Sara bring out the fact about dying? As I stared out into the night, I wondered who else was looking at the beautiful sky. "Alyss? Are you still awake?" I turned around to find that Sara was still awake as well. "Sara I'm still awake." She joined me by the window and looked out with me. "Do you think we will become stars when we fade?" I was taken aback by her question. "I hope so. We will become stars and ride on to the heavens." She looked at me with a pale face. "And what happens if we don't become a star?" I looked at her, wondering what she meant. " I mean.. isn't there another way to go other then heaven?" I sighed deeply, not wanting to answer. "Well... There is another way. Just hope you don't go that way.." Sara's eyes became glassy and sad. " Alyss... Alyss .. I think I'm going that way."

    Chapter 8 - Tetsuya
    Love with...

    I was so close to Alyss I could feel her breath on my face. Our lips touched for who knows how long? It wasn't just a little peck.. It was passionate, filled with emotion. We pulled away after what seemed like three seconds. My face was deep red, I could feel it.. So was Alyss's. My stomach, who was unwilling to cooperate with me, grumbled, asking for food. They both looked at me and I explained. " .. I didn't eat anything except for the popcorn.." Sara jumped up. " I'll go! " But suddenly, so did Alyss. "Wait! Sara, I'll go!" Sara stared hard at Alyss. She finally agreed. Alyss ran out as fast as lightning comes and goes. Sara and I began to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. "Rock, paper, scissors!" we cried. "Agh!" Sara, who seemed clearly frustrated that I had won demanded up to 10, or, atleast until Alyss came back. "Rock, paper, scissors!" Sara, whose anger flared each time she lost cried out angrily whenever she lost. Our game when I was about to reach 5 points, took long. "Rock, paper, scissors!" we cried loudly. "YEAH!! And that is.. 5-2?" I heard laughter and saw Alyss. She began conversing with Sara as I lay looking up at the ceiling. Please let me sleep beside Alyss.. Please please please!! " ... My fav flavor!" Sara's mouth was filled with chewed up Ruffles and Alyss and I were unlucky to witness it. I put on a disgusted face but I couldn't help smiling. "Chew with your mouth closed Sara! We don't need to see what will be going down and out again." We laughed spontaneuosly and Alyss took out two guns and handed the other to Sara. "Finally!" Sara exclaimed. " Be judge Tetsuya!" I nodded and watched them shoot each other with Nerf guns.

    "Incoming missile towards Wonderland!"
    Alyss and Sara were playing for one hour and twenty minutes. About one hour and 10 minutes passed. I announced how much longer they had and watched as they shot each other, or their bases. "Incoming towards Strawberry Base!" Sara did a military roll and dodged. "Take that Strawberry Base!!" Alyss yelled. I laughed at how ridiculous it sounded. It went on like that for the last few minutes. I showed them their scores. Because Sara lost by one hit point, she shook me playfully. We fell on Strawberry Smoothie Base and broke it. "Look Sara! I drank your base!" We laughed at Alyss' corny joke. She yawned. The last thing I heard was, "... Its 2 AM!" I sat up at the news. "Holy...!" Before Alyss could continue I covered her mouth. " Hey now! No swearing Alyss!" She giggled. "I think she we should sleep now. Sara and I will take one side because were girls. Tetsuya gets the other side because hes a boy." She was facing Sara. I rolled my eyes at her and smirked. Damn.. "Sexist Alyss?" She laughed and explained why I couldn't go to their side. I agreed hesitantly and went to my side on the ground. I pulled out my pillow from under Alyss' bed and lay awake. I made my breathing slow and even so Alyss would think I was asleep. Sara fell asleep. I heard footsteps and I slowly rolled over to see what was going on. Alyss, looking completely lost was looking out of the window. "Alyss..?" I heard Sara's voice as she clambered out of her blanket and beside Alyss. I overheard all they said. As shocking as it was to hear the topic, I was petrified by Sara's remark. "Alyss.. I think I'm going the other way."

    Chapter 9 - Sara
    Hatred with ...

    No matter where I went my problems followed me. I watched as Tetsuya and Alyss kissed each other. I was uneasy about the scene but happy for her. My urges sprung alive but I fought with it. Not right now! I'm with Alyss and Tetsuya! I timed them. They lasted for 17 seconds. Their faces scorching red, they pulled apart. I smiled at them, glad Alyss did the dare. A few awkward moments of silence until it was interrupted by Tetsuya's hunger. He smiled adorably. He had nothing to eat except for the small amount of popcorn. "I'll go!" I announced. Alyss stopped me and somehow convinced me to stay. "Tetsuya! I know ! Lets play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Me and Alyss always played this game!" He raised an eyebrow and agreed. "Rock, paper, scissors!" Tetsuya won. "Arggh!" He seemed to be pretty good at it, seeing as he didn't know the game in the first place until I explained. "Rock, paper, scissors!" was cried a large amount of times. I finally won twice. Tetsuya had 4 points. The 5 pointer took long. "Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors!" Scissors loses to rock. My face grew hot with anger but I was smiling despite myself. " YEAH! So thats.. 5-2!" I heard a familiar laugh as Alyss walked in with two large bags of chips. I spoke with her for a few moments as Tetsuya ignored both of us and stared at the ceiling. I looked at what she was carrying and grabbed the Ruffles bag. I took a few angry bites which turned to happy bites. " Mm.. my fav flavor!" I forgot I had chips in my mouth as Tetsuya put on a disgusted look. " ... we don't need to see what will go down and out again Sara!" We laughed at the sickening joke. Alyss handed me a Nerf gun, the moment I've been waiting for. My urges sprung again. No! I wont take it! I took the gun, resisting my urge to be with the one I spend my time with. "Finally.." I said under my breath. I named my base Strawberry Smoothie because it was my favorite thing to drink and the only thing I could think of. Tetsuya was our referee and Alyss' base, Alyss' Wonderland Military Base, was finally built, our fight began.
    *********
    "Incoming!!" I dodge rolled the shot and it hit the wall and bounced off. I looked to see if Alyss was going to shoot, but she didn't. She was waiting for me to appear I grabbed the missile fast, but she still shot because she saw me. It hit my finger. "Point for Wonderland!" I loaded it with all my available missiles and shot one. It hit her base so in order to get it, she'd be out in the open. She risked it and got it as I shot her like crazy, only managing to hit the base. She took all the missiles and took aim at me. " I see you Sara!" She shot, and it hit the wall. The wall I was leaning against. "And.. Time!" Tetsuyas voice came ringing out as he announced our score. I shook him as I lost by one point. We collapsed onto my base laughing. I felt completely out of it, not having my usual companion. Alyss said something and I laughed along with them, not knowing what she said. We talked but I wasn't sure what we were talking about. I was only aware of the fact that we were going to sleep. Tetsuya seemed to be the first and I pretended to be asleep. I heard Alyss move and I watched her walk slowly towards the window. She stared out, with a blank expression. I walked over to her, calling her name. "Alyss..? Are you still awake?" She replied something, and I was quite sure it was a reassurance that she was awake. I looked at her, took a deep breath, and asked her the question that was in my head for a long time. "Alyss.. Will we become stars when we fade away?" As shocked as she was, she still answered me whole heartedly. I took in account what she said. "And what if we don't become stars?" She sighed and told me what she knew. ".. just hope you don't go that way." I knew what was going to happen to me. " Alyss.. I think I'm going to other way."
