"Nope! Not gonna do it!" Dennis said looking away.

It was the usual, Dennis was having his arm twisted by Winnie's older brother while Winnie simply starred, waiting for that one moment where he agreed to look her in the eye. One would see this as insane, but Dennis actually liked these moments, they were simply a game, and he always would win this game. Today he won by doing a tumble, flinging Will off his back.

"Well that was fun Winnie, but i'm gonna go to bed." Dennis said turning around before Winnie grabbed his cape.

"Oh no no no!" She said turning him around. "It has been far too many a year i've waited . . . My zing." She said with a smile looking to his eyes which failed to meet hers.

She used her speed to try and maneuver his eyes on hers, but Dennis could still see from the corner of his eye and sent his vision back and forth, as always keeping his eyes oddly enough AWAY from the prize.

"You can't make me Winnie, like i said, no zinging for me!" Dennis said gently removing her strong grip. "Now if you'll please?"

Dennis' eye was still comically bouncing around his socket as he did a speed run up the steps of the lobby to find his bedroom.

"Ah! Peace!" Dennis said flopping into bed.

"Can i be apart of peace?" Winnie said.

"WAH! Winnie?! No bedroom invading! That was a rule!" Dennis said pointing to the door with his eyes to the ceiling.

"You don't have to look at me Dennis, can i just have a kiss on the cheek goodnight?" Winnie said with a pout Dennis could sense.

"Couldn't your dad just kiss you goodnight or something?" He said weakly as he began to sweat.

"Could you do it for me as a birthday gift?" Winnie asked her big eyes starring up at him from the bed's edge. "A peck on the forehead maybe?"

"Your birthday is tomorrow, and that's not your gift." Dennis said trying to hold his ground.

"But it's my 13th birthday, you wouldn't say no to your best friend would you?" Winnie said smiling hopefully.

Dennis remained silent.

"Hmph!" Winnie said climbing onto the bed. "Well i guess if you won't give a kiss, i'll just have to take a kiss!"

Dennis then shoved her away.

"You remember the rules we made! I have to agree to a kiss!" He said burying his face in the pillow.

"Rules don't apply on my birthday, that's the only rule i remember!" She said in a sing-song voice.

"Not your birthday!" Dennis said.

"I'm within 12 hours of my birth Dennis, it is technically my birthday," Winnie said losing her patience. "C'mon, just a kiss goodnight?"

Dennis sighed.

"I'll give you a forehead kiss, but you go to bed." Dennis said pulling himself from the pillow.

Winnie nodded and leaned her head down for Dennis place a kiss upon, but Winnie took this one chance and turned her head up at the last second to give him a full on kiss.

"Mph!" Dennis said pulling away in annoyance.

He didn't dislike the kiss, and this wasn't the first time she had a full on kiss with him, his first was on Christmas when she and her brothers snuck a sprig of mistletoe over there heads in exchange for Winnie's christmas dinner. He honored the plan they had and agreed to the kiss.

"I'm not talking to you! And as usual i'm hiding when that clock strikes midnight, i remember last year when you tried to find me and steal some kisses." Dennis said turning around eyes closed and arms crossed.

"Well fine then." Winnie said sneaking a final kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Dennis groaned as she left, but unknown to her he gave a hint of chuckle when she left, before lightly putting his hand to his cheek.

"She's crazy." He said smiling as he went to sleep.
