Five Crowns and a Rose II

Sitting around a campfire in a quiet night under the silver moon will always be romantic. But, enchanting to those who finds love in their hearts.

The darkness will shimmer like the constellations in the sky, insect sounds and the howls of the wolves will become music to their ears and the moonbeams will open their eyes into the labyrinth of the elfin world called--- LOVE.

"Help prepare the food while we build the campfire!" Ben shouts at the ladies as he and Ron gather firewood from the back yard.

When all is set, they sit around the campfire.

Clockwise sitting arrangement:

Ben

Camille          Letizia

Ron                  Jay

Chealsy         Stephanie

Mon            Sophia

Primrose  Leo

Each of them holds an alcoholic beverage on his or her hand.

"Why don't we play games?" Chealsy says while looking at everyone.

"Sure! What game do you have in mind?" Mon asks.

"Truth or Dare!" she excitedly exclaims.

"Hmmm.... not bad~" Ben agrees.

"Too old school~ Sophia, please introduce the game we played last time!" Primrose suggests.

"What game?! That game?" Camille says worriedly.

"Now you got me!" Leo states.

Sophia raises her brow and smile wickedly.

"Really? Are you sure? I mean, there are men here!" she says.

Primrose nods while Camille takes deep breaths.

"This is gonna be fun!" Stephanie screams.

"This..... is gonna be.... crazy!" Sophia speaks in a devious way.

"Then, tell us. Let's see how crazy it is!" Jay dares. She smirks. Primrose grins. Camille gulps.

"Alright, folks. Listen up! We will play the CUPID's GAME. The aim of this game is to explore the romantic side of each member and help find a lover for him or her.

Ben and Letizia, this game will also test how much you care or love your partner~"

"That's easy~" Ben says.

"... but a little risky!" Letizia blurts out worriedly.

"First, give me the 13 cards of Hearts. Each card has a corresponding challenge that you have to accomplish. Some cards have corresponding rewards. Choose your card and you must do the CHALLENGES or else..."

"Or else what?" Mon asks in suspicion.

"Your partner will be punished~" Camille answers.

Some groan. Some claps. Some weigh the severity of the game.

"Now for the Challenges:

Since there are gentlemen with us tonight, I have changed some of it.

2 of Hearts: Kiss the two nearest people (opposite gender) on each side

3 of Hearts: Reveal three of your darkest secrets

4 of Hearts: Strip four of your clothings

5 of Hearts: Embrace the fifth person to your right until the game ends

6 of Hearts: Drink six shots of the hardest liquor on the table

7 of Hearts: Kiss the 7th person to your left

8 of Hearts: Confess your feelings to the person you like the most in the group and give 8 reasons why within 20 seconds

9 of Hearts: Kiss 9 different parts of the person in front of you

10 of Hearts: Hotseat: Answer ten questions without any chance of passes no matter how sensitive the questions are.

MASTER CARDS:

Jack of Hearts: Immunity Card

*You can refuse whatever they ask you to do.

Ace of Hearts: The Witch's Card

Note: Anyone can save anyone.

Caution: If you wish to save someone, you must drink three shots of the hardest alcohol on the table, strip one of your clothings and--- do his or her challenge.

Simple! Any questions?" Sophia explains.

"I told you~" Camille says while looking at the other members flustered by the game mechanics.

"That is crazy!" Ron exclaims.

"That's is kinda harsh!" Stephanie utters.

"Uh~ harsh no! Challenging~ yes!" Primrose defends.

"What will happen if I refuse to do it or I fail my challenge and no one else saves me?" Jay asks.

"Then you don't have a choice, but do finish the challenge and drink 3 shots!" Sophia replies.

"But those are kinda below the belt~ kissing and hugging and stripping! For goodness sake, we are not gigolos and bitches here!" Jay complains.

"Are you afraid?" Sophia asks while looking at him intensely.

"Nope! Of course not!"

"Then, let' s begin~ guys... choose your card," she says.

Everyone hesitantly picks his or her card. Some are excited while some are terrified.

"God save me!" Chealsy exclaims while staring at her card.

Ben smiles while Letizia frowns.

"Alright! Who will start?" Leo asks.

They all point at Sophia who sits quietly, staring blankly at her card.

'Why am I so unlucky today?' she asks herself.

"Hey~ you start~ oh my gosh!" Chealsy says in a loud voice before covering her mouth.

"Why?" they ask, curious about what she just see.

Then, Leo pulls the card from Sophia's hand. He looks at her and smiles playfully.

"Well~ what should you do now? Seems like the gods have forsaken you!" he says while showing her card to everyone--- the TWO of HEARTS.

Stephanie gasps as she points her finger to the nearest men to Sophia.

Sophia curses under her breath.

Everyone, except Jay, cheers as Sophia turns to Leo and gives him a kiss. Then, she stands and walks to Jay, who is still looking down. Leans over and whispers, "This is just a game, get along with it~"

Then, Sophia gives him a peck on his lips.

"Ugh! That's unfair!" Chealsy grunts.

"What exactly is--- unfair?" Sophia asks as she walks back to her seat.

She sulks while pointing her fingers at the two lords.

"Leo's turn~" Camille shouts. She becomes amusingly loud as she's getting drunk.

He shows his card--- FOUR of HEARTS.

The ladies scream as he removes his jacket, shirt, and pair of shoes. All he has now are his pants, underwear and socks.

Primrose's cheeks are flushed as her eyes wander at his naked body.

Leo winks at her when he catches her gaze. Her breathing becomes eratic.

"Your turn now!" Ben tells Primrose.

She slowly shows her card--- EIGHT of HEARTS. They shout excitedly, asking her to reveal who she likes.

She meets Sophia's eyes, asking for help. Primrose seems like she's about to cry at this moment.

"I'll save her!" Sophia shouts.

They groan in disappointment. Primrose smiles in relief. Then, Sophia realizes which card she is holding.

"Well~ 3 shots, 1 strip, and reveal the one you secretly desire!" Mon shouts excitedly.

A loud 'wohooooooooo' is heard.

Sophia looks at Primrose, smiling evilishly at her. Then, now it becomes clear that she sets her up.

"Don Mari, your shots are ready!" Ben tells her, gesturing her to drink 3 shots of vodka.

Sophia takes a deep breath and hesitantly stands.

"I'll save her!" Jay says out of nowhere.
