"I'll start," Biana said. "Sophie, Truth Or Dare?"

"Truth," she answered.

Keefe noted that usually Sophie would be terrified, but instead she was smiling.

"Remember that secret you had for a while now? Tell it to us out loud."

"Okay," Sophie said, her cheeks only mildly flushing pink, not the tomato red like it often would. "I like Fitz."

"I knew it! You're going to be my sister!"

"Calm down Biana," Fitz mumbled, casually reaching over to hold Sophie's waist. "You're getting ahead of yourself."

Fitz... it's too early for me to bear you being affectionate with her. At least, don't do it when I'm around. Keefe thought.

"Ooh," Biana squealed, teal eyes glimmering brightly. "Are you two dating?"

"Your turn is over. Wait your turn."

"Damn it!"

Sophie turned to Dex. "Truth Or Dare?"

"Uh... dare."

"Are the triplets asleep?"

He shrugged. "I think?"

"I dare you to go dye their hair neon pink!"

"Woah woah woah. Since when was Foster so devious?" Keefe teased.

She rolled her eyes while Dex sighed.

"They're going to kill me later," he declared. "But whatever."

He got up and disappeared. After a few minutes, he was back, a smirk on his face. "Actually, if I die, at least I'll die happy. Keefe, Truth Or Dare?"

"Is that even a question?" He asked.

I wonder what you're going to dare me.

He took a deep breath. "Kiss a girl on the lips, kiss a girl on the cheek and kiss a girl on the hand. And by that, I mean out of everyone in this room."

Sorry Foster, he thought. I'll be kissing you. But don't worry, I'm not cruel enough to make out with you or anything like that.

"I refuse!" Fitz grumbled.

"It's just a dare Fitzy, it doesn't mean anything."

I promise you that much Fitz. You're her boyfriend. But I'll kiss her otherwise Bangs Boy will kill me.

He glanced at Tam, who was glaring daggers at him. Then he got up and kissed Biana on the cheek, Linh on her hand, and then went up to Sophie.

"Sorry," he murmured, just loud enough for Sophie and Fitz to hear.

Then he leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips. He consciously made sure to not accidentally linger, averting eye contact with anyone else until he returned back into his spot. Tam was flushed red with anger, while Fitz's fist was clenched, chest rising and falling with deep breaths. But despite the obvious effort to stay calm, it didn't quite work.

"I can't take this!" Fitz yelled. "You know that Sophie and I are together, yet you still ki-" he cut himself off, taking another deep breath. "You can't just go around kissing my girlfriend!"

"What!?" Biana, Tam and Linh all shouted.

"Yeah," Sophie said. "We're dating."

"That's fantastic! You're going to be my sister!" Biana exclaimed, her smile wide. Then her eyes narrowed as she turned to Keefe. "If you knew that they were dating, why would you kiss Sophie?"

"In my defence, if I kissed you or Linh, Bangs Boy would have brutally killed me. Fitz might have spared me."

"Tha- Okay look, I'm going to forgive you," Fitz said. "But, make sure you don't do it again, or next time you won't be spared."

"I'm not going to steal Foster, I promise," Keefe replied. And he meant it. "Hey Bangs Boy, Truth Or Dare?"

"Knowing you, I'm picking truth."

"Did you ever have a crush on someone before Biana?"

"No."

Keefe looked at him, seeking any signs of a lie. But his voice was calm, his face neutral, and he even made eye contact when saying it. There was no fidgeting or anything.

"Well damn, I thought you would have."

"Actually," Linh said. "He did. About a year before we were banished."

Tam shot her a look, and Dex snorted. "Really?"

"Yep!" Linh said, clearly ignoring her brother. "He thought they were soulmates!"

"Bangs Boy? Soulmates?" Keefe burst into laughter, and then it became a cackle. "That's got to be the funniest thing I've ever heard!" He doubled over in hysterics, pretending to wipe away a tear.

"I would have greatly preferred a makeover to this, Linh," Tam grumbled.

"I think this is absolutely hilarious!" Dex said.

Everyone else began to laugh too, and Tam flushed red before blanketing himself with shadows.The game continued on, with it lasting a decent amount of time. In short, the highlights were: Tam was wearing a dress; Dex had black hair with orange stripes; Fitz refusing to play; Biana had short hair; Sophie had a huge makeover on her; Linh was embarrassed after revealing her crush on some elf named Sinclair; and Keefe, well, he was forced to roll around in Silveny's poop- which was really glittery.

Curse you, Bangs Boy! He thought while trying to get it out of his hair. You do NOT mess with the hair!

When he finished his shower, the game had finished, and it was time for bed. The girls went to Biana's room, while the boys went to Fitz's.

"Hey Keefe," Dex whispered as they walked together.

"Yeah?"

"You wouldn't mind if we put our sleeping bags near each other, would you? I'm not sure if I'll be able to fall asleep, and it'd be nice if we were able to talk if needed."

"That's fine with me."

They set their sleeping bags beside each other and went inside. The room was quiet, even peaceful, as the others seemed to be asleep. Yet Keefe was still awake, his mind replaying the horrible moments from earlier that day.

Foster, beautiful and kind Foster. Ugh, and I yelled at her for no good reason! I'm such an idiot!

He rolled over to lay on his side, trying to find a comfortable position.

"Can't sleep?" Dex whispered, startling Keefe.

"Yeah," he sighed. "Can't stop thinking about Foster. I feel bad for yelling at her, I mean, why should I be controlling who she wants to date?"

"I'm sure she'll forgive you," Dex said assuringly, and it did feel convincing. But...

"That's the thing. She's always going to forgive us, so it doesn't really help."

"Hey," he began. "Why don't we start pranking now?"

Keefe thought it over, and smiled. "It's not like I was going to be able to sleep anyway. Might as well be productive."

Quietly, they got up as Keefe led Dex to another room.

"Where are we going?"

"To my secret pranking stash!" Keefe answered.

"Of course you'd have one here," he mumbled. "What's the plan?"

"What if we tamper with their hair products? It's evil, but brilliant."

"Yes Keefe, you're the most brilliant elf I know," Dex said sarcastically.

"I know!" He agreed, not catching on. "What if we use Euphaly powder?"

"Keefe, that's absolutely awful! It's going to seriously mess up their hair! Let's do it."

Keefe smiled innocently. "It's only going to make their hair sticky and smell bad.

Dex rolled his eyes. "I mean, yeah. Anyways, thanks for being here with me."

"Are you kidding me? You think I'd pass up a chance to prank someone!?" He exclaimed, then immediately shut his mouth when he realized how loud he was being.

They heard laughter, as Alden came out of one of the many doors. "What's going on here?"

"Nothing!" Keefe replied.

"If you say so. Dex, make sure it isn't something too serious." He gave them a wink and left.

"Well..." Dex trailed off, before shrugging helplessly. "If only he knew."

He started laughing, and Keefe couldn't help but laugh along with him. The laugh was light and soft, unlike his own loud one.

His laugh is contagious actually, he thought. You can't not laugh with him.

"But about earlier," Keefe said abruptly. "I told you that I'll be there. So there's no need to thank me."

They finally got to Keefe's secret stash, grabbed the powder, and quickly made their way to prank the two sleeping boys. When they finished putting the powder in the hair products, they went back to their sleeping bags.

His mind felt more at ease, some of the tension being dissipated. But it wasn't quite enough to get him to sleep.

"You need help getting to sleep?" Dex murmured.

"I'm fine," he replied, not wanting to be a bother.

Dex sat up anyway, scooting closer towards him. He gently lifted Keefe's head and rested it in his lap, before threading his fingers through his hair.

"What are yo-" But all Keefe could feel was warmth.

Dex's hands were really warm, and surprisingly soft. It diverted his focus away from the mess that was his thoughts. All he could feel was warmth and calm. He closed his eyes and relished in the feeling.

"Is it fine?" Dex asked.

"Yeah, it is." He opened his mouth to say more, but ended up yawning. "How'd you know what to do?"

"Lex used to have sleeping problems. I used to give him massages, and it helped him sleep. Figured it'd work for you."

"Thank you Dex. Goodnight," he whispered, drifting off to sleep.

Sorry for the late update, my severe case of procrastination and a severe case of writer's block (more like all my ideas went to my other story) hit me. Also the dares and stuff weren't good, because I don't really play much of this. Hope it was good.
