"You sure you're okay with this?" Kelly looked back at Guy through the mirror she was currently leaning into to inspect her makeup, half-worried.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be?"

They were all gathered in Kelly's bedroom— Maz, Kelly, and Guy. Guy was sitting on the edge of the bed swinging his legs, and Maz was sitting behind him messing with the cuffs of his shirt.

"Because you're our boyfriend."

"Oh gee, I'm so upset I have to miss this double date with Wanda and— whathisface. Drag?"

"Brad."

"And I would love to see how you explained to them why your dear brother tagged along. I know I'm pretty great, but I don't think they'd appreciate your bro playing footsie with you and making eyes at your boyfriend all night." The visual had both Maz and Kelly chuckling.

Maz scooted up to sit right next to Guy. "We still feel kind of bad, though. This is, like, super romantic."

"You microwaving me a pizza the other day was pretty romantic." Guy laced his fingers in Maz's a laughed when he started blushing.

"Neither of you would know romance if it bit your hand off." Kelly sounded happy about that, though, and when she sat down on Guy's other side she took his other hand and put her head on his shoulder. "Good thing you have me to help."

They stayed like that for a while, just sitting together. Until Maz had the bright idea to give Guy's neck a raspberry, which naturally turned the moment into a tickle fight, which naturally devolved into Maz and Kelly's favorite game of "see how loud we can make Guy squeal since he's the most ticklish and trapped between us."

They were only interrupted by Droosha yelling, "Maz, Kelly! Your friends are here!"

Kelly paused and whispered a little "Nooo— ugh, my hair." She started patting it down curiously. It had taken some small blows in the tickle struggle, but no permanent damage.

"It looks perfect, don't worry."

Guy nodded in agreement, then laughed. "Have fun."

Maz grabbed Guy's hand again, having let it go momentarily for the sake of tickling. "We'll make this up to you. I'll microwave you a whole box of pizza rolls."

"Stop, I'll melt."

Kelly laughed, leaning in to kiss his cheek, and Maz followed suit. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss him more."

"I won't miss either of you."

Wanda's voice interrupted them. "Kelly, you up here?"

Kelly jumped to her feet, patting at her hair again. "Coming!"

Maz hopped up too, only letting go of Guy's hand to tilt his head up and kiss his lips. Guy crinkled his nose and tried to lean away, but Maz followed him.

"Maz, behave."

He straightened up at precisely the right moment, just as Wanda came into view, Brad trailing behind.

"Sorry," Kelly said, "Maz was having shirt troubles."

"Shirt troubles?"

"Maz is a fashion disaster. Kel and me had to fix him." Guy stayed seated on the bed and started swinging his legs again, trying to take attention away from the fact that Kelly and Maz seemed to be having a small battle with their eyes.

"Oh, hey Guy!" Her smile was laced with a sympathy that seemed strange at first, until Guy remembered that he was supposed to be a total third wheel. The fact that he was hanging around Maz and Kelly before their date probably seemed kind of especially pitiful to outsiders.

Guy waved, but had to lean around Kelly's approaching figure at that point. She half jumped on him, half grabbed him for a hug. "Don't get too lonely while we're gone." She gave him a more sloppy, playful kiss on his cheek than usual, and Guy responded with equal theatrics, yelling, "Eew!" and rubbing at his cheek.

"You kids better behave tonight, I might have turn into SheZow and separate you."

Wanda was too busy glaring and blushing herself to notice Maz blushing and looking slightly alarmed over Kelly's little cheek kiss. "You're never gonna let that go, are you?"

"No way."

Kelly grinned, straightening herself out a final time. "Anyway, we better go. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Wanda started ushering Brad back downstairs. "No problem. Especially if Maz was such a 'fashion disaster.'"

Kelly stopped Maz right at her bedroom door as soon as Wanda and Brad were only somewhat out of earshot, and if Guy hadn't gotten up to retreat back into his own room he wouldn't have heard her whispering, "You think that was a kiss? I'll show you a real kiss when we get home."

"Oh yeah, I'm sure."

"Hey, there's enough of me to go around."

Kelly and Maz started following the other two as quickly as they could, Guy trailing behind them. "Yeah, but that looked like a challenge to me."

"What're you going to do about it?"

Guy stopped at the top of the stairs, watching them go on ahead.

"You just heard me say what I'm gonna do about it, dorkula."

Just as they were walking out the door, Kelly blew a kiss up to Guy. Maz elbowed her, getting into the competitive spirit Kelly had established, and attempted to wink. The action looked ridiculous on Maz's face, so Guy just laughed, rolling his eyes and retreating back into his room.
