Later when Olivia and Wen went down to the lake the others noticed that Wen, not so subtly, had his arm around her shoulders. They walked out to the dock and the others swam over to talk to them.

"Have fun you two?" Scott said with a smirk.

"You could say that." Olivia said, glancing up at Wen and pursing her lips.

Wen smirked before picking her up, bridal style, and swinging her a few times before dumping her, screaming, into the lake. He then dive-bombed after her.

For the next few days this sort of behaviour continued; they never confirmed it but they certainly acted like a new couple. Olivia started to teach Wen how to play the guitar; she sat with the guitar while he sat behind her with his longer arms around her, his hands over hers. Together they were writing a song.

But something struck the others as odd. As a band they had an unspoken rule that if you were in a relationship with someone else in the band, you were allowed to show PDA, within limits of course. These limits were enforced with a loud chorus of 'Oh get a room!' from the rest of the band.

Scott and Mo frequently kissed in the presence of their friends. But they had yet to see Wen and Olivia kiss. Other physical displays of affection; holding hands and embraces and so on were present. But no kisses. This was definitely not right. Something must be wrong with them.

Privately the others had decided to get them to kiss, by any means necessary. Both spin the bottle and truth or dare proved useless. When Stella finally snapped and shoved them in their tent for a round of seven minutes in heaven they both thought it was very funny.

And although they listened in on this, they could only hear muffled giggles. From both of them.

It's like they weren't taking this seriously.

Stella's next act was to order Scott and Charlie into the woods to find some mistletoe. Both refused and the lovebirds fell about laughing.

Eventually Stella sat them down on the log and ordered them to kiss. Somehow the most straightforward solution hadn't occurred to her scheming brain.

Wen and Olivia leant in but paused when they were about a centimetre away. Olivia started laughing and he also chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Mo asked, confused.

Wen and Olivia looked away from each other and Wen removed his arm from her waist. "Well, here's the thing. We're not going to kiss."

"Why not?" Charlie asked.

Wen and Olivia exchanged a look. "We're not dating."

"What?" everyone cried.

"You lied to us?" Stella fumed.

"We pranked you, yes." Wen said placatingly.

"To get you off our backs yeah. We've been planning it for a while. When it came to it though we just couldn't pull it off with a straight face." Olivia said, still chuckling.

The others glared.

"Something tells me we're in trouble this time." Wen said, smirking.

"Most likely." Olivia agreed.

"Why did you do this?" Mo asked.

"Because you wouldn't let it go. We discussed it and agreed that it was time for a little payback. Not much I know. But that was where the no kissing thing came in. We knew it would drive you mad and I must say, we had a tonne of fun with it." Olivia smirked. Wen smiled at her proudly.

"Yeah, I mean, you guys have been bugging us for months to get together. And we appreciate your concern for our happiness. But, please, let it happen naturally. Forcing it will just kill it before it has a chance. I'd rather it happens at the right time and at the right pace. We on the same page?"

The others nodded. "Sorry, guys. You gotta understand why we did it though. You guys are like soulmates." Stella said.

Olivia and Wen shared another look. "I know," Olivia said, blushing. "But you don't meet your soulmate in first grade."

"Kindergarten actually." Wen muttered. Olivia shot him a look and a smile.

"Uh, when it's you guys you do." Charlie said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Thanks man, but I'd rather have this relationship on my terms."

"Our terms." Olivia corrected.

"Yes, dear." Wen said, his eyes sparkling with mirth.

Olivia pouted and crossed her arms. A moment later the pout turned into a shy little smile, as if she really rather liked him calling her that.
