Ha ha... hope you like this chapter! Thanks for the reviews!

"Oh my gosh... tell me what happened last night!" Amber squealed.

It was Friday night, and I was at Amber and Mick's house. They were setting up everything for a sleepover which the whole gang was coming to, and I had come half-an-hour early, like Amber had requested.

"Didn't Mick tell you?" I asked teasingly.

"Nope. But he was so happy! Tell me!"

"Where is he, anyway?"

"In his room, tidying up. Now tell me!" she all but shreiked.

I leaned closer, and her eyes widened in excitement.

"We kissed."

Amer let out a large cheer. "Finallly! How did it happen? Who started it? Who ended it?"

I sighed. "I wiped ice-cream off of his nose, then it just happened. Then the waiter ended it."

"Aww, that's so romantic! Well, except for the waiter part."

We both giggled then, and Mick came downstairs.

"Hey, Mara," he said.

"Hi Mick."

"Mick? Have you tidied your room yet?"

"Not yet, I came to see Mara." I blushed, and Amber rolled her eyes.

"Well, get to it then! You have to fit all of the boys in there, and you can't do it if your room is a pigsty!"

"Fine, fine." Mick said, before winking at me then running upstairs.

"So, anyway," Amber began."Tonight I have a plan." I raised my eyebrows, signalling for her to continue. "I call it: Operation Fabina."

"Let me guess. You want to get Fabian and Nina together? How are you planning to do that, exactly?"

"Truth or Dare! They just need a push in the right direction. You know what to do. Are you in?"

"I'm in."

"Yay!"

Just then, a slim blonde woman, who I guessed was Amber's mother, came into the room.

"Okay Amber, we're about to-" She caught sight of me, and walked over, hand outstretched. "Oh, hello," she said as I took her hand. "I'm Linda, Amber's mother. You must be Mara."

"Yes, that's right. Nice to meet you, Linda."

"Nice to meet you. Amber, your father and I are leaving now. We'll be back on Sunday night, okay? Bye darling! Bye Mara!"

As soon as she left the room, the doorbell rang.

"Ah. She'll get that," Amber told me.

We heard the door open, and some voices, then Jerome walked into the room.

"Hey Amber. Hello Mara."

"Hello," we replied in unison.

"Who else is here?" Amber asked him.

"Eddie's here with me."

"Here I am!" Eddie announced after he entered. He walked over to me and gave me a hug. "Hey, Mara!"

"Eddie!" I giggled.

Jerome looked confused, and Amber rolled her eyes. "Come on, Mara. Let's go to my room now."

"What about the others? We have to wait for them..."

"Oh, fine then. You two-" she gestured to Eddie and Jerome, "take your things and go upstairs."

They quickly left, and I turned to Amber.

"So... are you looking forward to seeing Alfie?" I asked her with a smirk on my face.

"Oh, Alfie. He's so sweet," Amber sighed.

"I know," I replied. "He like you a lot."

"I can tell."

We both giggled, and the doorbell rang again.

"It's the guys!" Amber yelled excitedly. She ran to the door, and when she came back, she was with the rest of the gang.

"Hey, guys!" I greeted as we all gave each other hugs. Then Amber made us sit in a circle. Mick, Eddie, and Jerome had joined us, too.

"First game," Amer began. "Truth or dare. You spin the bottle, and whoever it lands on is the victim. I start!"

She spun the bottle, and it landed on Joy. "Truth or dare?" Amber asked her eagerly.

"Dare."

"I dare you to... make out with Eddie!"

"What?" Eddie and Joy shouted at the same time.

"Oh, go on! It's just a kiss..."

They both shrugged and leaned in towards eachother. The moment when their lips met was comical. Eddie and Joy both flinched and kept their eyes wide open, looking everywhere but at eachother. Everyone was laughing at them, and when they broke apart, they both scrambled back to their seats.

"My go!" Joy said before spinning the bottle. It landed on Patricia.

"Truth or dare?" Joy asked.

"Definitley dare- bring it on!"

"Fine. I dare you to... sit in Eddie's lap until we go to bed."

"Me again?" Eddie asked as Patricia muttered, "You can't be serious!" They didn't protest much, though. Patricia went over to Eddie and sneered at him. He sneered back, but when she sat in his lap, they both had small smiles on their faces. It was cute. They probably had a crush on eachother.

"Right," Patricia said befor spinning the bottle. It landed on Mick. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." The chance of anyone choosing 'truth' seemed unlikely.

"Uh, I dare you to... kiss Jeorme!" Everyone burst out laughing.

"Uggh!" They both groaned at the same time.

"Just a quick kiss," Patricia told them. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

"Kiss! Kiss!" We all chanted, clapping our hands.

The boys wrinkled their noses in disgust, and leaned in towards eachother, lips puckered. Their lips lightly touched and they jumped apart, looking grossed-out as every one cheered.

"Nasty!" Mick said before spinning the bottle. It landed on me. "Mara! Truth or dare?"

"Truth," I responded automatically. After some of the dares I had seen so far tonight, I was definitely going for the safer option.

Mick thought for a moment befor asking, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Everyone 'awwed', and I blushed. "Yes!"

He spread his arms out, and I went over to him, giving him a big hug. Then he kissed me on the cheek. The guys gagged, and the girls 'awwed' again.

I went back to my seat and span the bottle. It landed on Fabian. Perfect. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Amber looked at me meaningfully and I nodded at her. "I dare you to make out with Nina," I said. "With tongue."

Fabian turned to Nina, whilst everyone was ooh-ing and whistling. Then he gently cupped her cheek with his hand and pressed his lips to hers. As the kiss intensified, Nina put her hands in Fabian's hair and he moaned loudly.

"Woo!" Alfie called out.

Everyone was watching them, until they broke apart rather reluctantly. Fabian smiled at Nina and took her hand, and I looked at Amber, who winked at me.

Fabian spun the bottle with his free hand, and it landed on Jerome. "Truth or- "

"Dare," Jerome said, smirking.

Fabian grinned at him. "Err... close your eyes, spin around three times, and touch someone. You have to grab that person and Make out with them, your eyes still closed.

"...okay," Jerome said, standing up. He walked over to the middle of the circle, and we all stood up as he closed his eyes and span around, rather clumsily, three times. Then he held his hands out and headed straight for my direction.

My eyes widened as he grabbed my waist and kissed me gently. I froze, and he pulled me close to him, making me unable to resist kissing him back. When he sensed me responding to him, he kissed me with more enthusiasm, and I put my hand on his elbow.

The moment ended when Mick cleared his throat, and I opened my eyes to see Jerome staring at me, looking bewildered.

"Mara?" he asked.

"Um, hi." I said to him before we sat down again.

"I'm sorry," I whispered to Mick as I took his hand in mine.

"It's no big deal," he said grinning at me. "It's only a dare, right? It doesn't mean anything?"

"Right," I answered truthfully, though I still felt guilty about it.

Jerome span the bottle again and it landed on Alfie. They both shared a smirk, and Jerome said, "I dare you to... cut Nina's hair off!"

"No!" nearly everyone shouted.

"Fine, fine. I was joking anyway. I dare you to wear Amber's clothes and do a Lady Gaga song!"

"Yeah!" Alfie yelled. He ran upstairs, and Amber followed him.

"Wait!" she shouted. "Let me help you!"

The rest of us laughed and waited for them to come down.

"So, ice-cream, anyone?" Mick asked.

We all agreed, so he went off to the kitchen, and we sat in silence until Jerome turned to me.

"You know Mara, you are quite the kisser."

I blushed and looked down in embarrasment. "Yeah, well..." What was I supposed to say?

Patricia scoffed. "That's out of order, Jerome."

"Yeah," Eddie agreed. "I mean, what the heck?"

Jerome's eyes widened in mock innocence, and he put his hands up, and Mick entered the room again with a big tub of mint chocolate-chip ice-cream and ten spoons. he gave everyone a spoon each, and plaed the rest of the spoons, and the tub of ice-cream, in the middle of the circle, alongside the bottle

"Dig in!"

We all ate happily from the tub, too busy for conversation, until Amber came downstairs.

"Introducing," she began in a deep voice. "Lady Gaga!" She spread her arms out wide, and Alfie appeared on the top step. He was wearing a silver-sequinned bra-thing, with a sort of transparrent robe on top, along with a knee-length silver skirt. he also had silver sequns on his face, and wore a long blonde wig.

He looked ridiculous.

Amber went over to the CD-player, quckly popped a CD in, and pressed a few buttons. Music started to play, and I recognized it as Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi'.

Patricia started to clap her hands, and soon we all joined in as Alfie stamped his feet, which were clad in silver high-heeld boots.

Where did Amber get these clothes from?

As he sang the first verse, he strutted down the stairs with his hands on his hips making us roar with laughter. Then, as he got to the chorus, he walked over to Amber, who was sitting by the CD player.

"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me! Papa, Papa-razzi!" he wailed as he took Amber's hand and started dancing with her, making us laugh even more.

Alfie danced his way throughout the rest of the song, collapsing when it was finally over. "I am never doing Lady Gaga again!" he panted, laying on the floor.

"No, it was good!" Amber told him, nodding her head.

"Yeah, you rocked it! Now, go and change. What are you wearing? Jerome said, putting a spoonful of ice-cream into his mouth.

Alfie jumped up and struck a pose. "I look sexy, don't I?"

"Yeah, sexy. That's the word," I muttered, giggling.

Alfie ran upstairs to cange, but he kept the wig on when he came back down.

"Wow, Amber, Alfie. You look like twins!" Eddie joked as they both sat down in the circle again.

"Yeah right. I'm like, so much better looking than him!" Amber argued jokingly.

"Okay, now- my turn to spin the bottle!" Alfie sang as he did just that. The bottle landed on Nina, who looked at Alfie warily.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Alfie signalled for Nina to stand up, and as she did so, he took her to the corner of the room, whispering in her ear. Her face lit up at something Alfie said, and she nodded enthusiastically. Everyone watched curiously as she came back to the circle, looking excited.

"Amber?" Alfie asked. "Nina's going to need your help upstairs."

Amber, who looked as if she had been expecting him to sy that, grinned at both Alfie and Nina before taking Nina's hand and leading her upstairs.

"What was that all about?" Joy asked Alfie curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just told her the dare I prepared for her."

"Why won't you tell us what it is?" Fabian asked worriedly. Maybe the dare had something to do with Operation Fabina.

"I don't see why you need to know, Fabian!" Alfie scoffed, pretending to be offended.

"Oh, sorry." Fabian muttered with a small smile.

"She's not doing Lady Gaga, is she?" Jerome asked, tugging at Alfie's wig.

"Nope. She can't if I have the wig."

At that, we sat waiting impatiently, trying to figure out what Nina's dare was, and after a while, Amber ran down the stairs with Nina behind her, with the hood of her hoodie up over her head, concealing her hair.

"Laides and gentlemen!" Amber bellowed. "Nina Martin!"

Nina slowly took her hood off, and we all watched eagerly, wandering what had happened. But as soon as her hood was down, it was painfully obvious, and totally shocking.

Fabian gasped, and Alfie started to guffaw. The rest of us were too stunned for words.

Because Nina was completely bald.

Heh heh... Review!
