       The day is Christmas, 2017. Kendy’s family had just wrapped up their Christmas party. Meanwhile, Kendy himself was preparing for the Ozine festival the day afterwards. As he was discussing his plans for the day with his friends at the Live Mapping Server, a user known as Xidorn said something that made sparks in Kendy’s head fly. “hey remember when neeton and aqua promised to kiss for money?”. Sensing that the timeline might shift from fan fictions to actual live video, Kendy snuck in some sake into his bag, planning to do something to the two’s drinks. With those plans and his stuff set for the next day, he went to sleep.
     Meanwhile, somewhere else in Luzon, a young boy also lies in excitement for the local anime con. “I can finally do sum of that gya shit with newton,” he thought,”I just say I did it for money, easy! No one will suspect a thing loler.”
        Meanwhile, in another house, an aspiring mapper with a lanky frame, wild hair, and thick black glasses finishes applying and rejecting mods as deemed fit. The name of the upper right hand side reads “newton-”. He stared at the clock at the bottom right of his screen. “oh fuk its midnight shit gotta wake up early for ozine,” he muttered to himself.
       The following morning, Kendy rode a taxi to where Ozine was to be held. It took him a couple of hours to get there due to heavy traffic. Once he did, though, he scoured around the premises looking for merchandise of Cocoa Hoto, Rin Hoshizora, or if neither are available, any merchandise of his favorite anime. “Well, they never really said that they’ve arrived yet, haven’t they?” Kendy thought to himself.
       As Kendy was enjoying his day spending his money on every piece of merchandise he could, newton and the other boy were still stuck inside their respective vehicles due to the traffic jam around the event location. When they finally arrived, instead of searching for goods of their animated crushes, they decided to go look for their internet friends. The other boy, who goes by the username of “Aqua” notified the event-goers that he has, in fact arrived. Upon seeing that message, newton followed up in saying that he, too, has arrived. Not long afterwards, a good luck message from Xidorn was sent, as well as a message from Kendy telling the goers to go to a certain ramen restaurant “as weebs do”.
         It didn’t take the two to go to the restaurant as they dropped off close to it, but not each other. However, as they haven’t shared their faces with each other yet, they remain oblivious to the fact that they are near each other. Only when newton described his appearance and location did each of them find out their proximity with each other.

“Hey, Lance,” Aqua started awkwardly, unable to cope with both his emotions and his lack of knowledge in these situations.

“yo aqua,” newton replied, ”well i never really expected any look from you, but i guess you look pretty ok. so, anyway, kendy said to meet up here, right? where is he?”

“Check LMP,” Aqua responded

“i’m the fat-ish dude with the rin and cocoa plushies,” newton read aloud.

“Oh, that’s him i think,” Aqua said as he pointed at the person fitting Kendy’s mentioned description

They walked towards the guy and sat on two adjacent seats as suggested by Aqua.

“hello there,” newton said in his closest pishifat impression to Kendy.

“hello to you too, sit down here. who are you guys? i know you’re from lmp, but who?” Kendy asked curiously.

“newton here”

“I’m gyaqua”

“OOH ok,” Kendy exclaimed, “now all we have to do is wait for n t r and we can order some food and drink.

       The bulky figure of Nathan, known as Nitrous or ntr, appeared some time later, holding a nesoberi of Kokoro Tsurumaki, as well as merchandise from various idol anime. With him was another person with long, black hair and thick, square glasses. The latter was angrily muttering to himself “no, i’m not fucking crossdressing again if you guys are wondering.”

       “alright. now that everyone’s here, let’s go order!” Kendy announced excitedly. He wasn't excited just for the food, though. He was also excited to see his plan unfold. They all ordered the same type of ramen, but their drinks are different. Kendy ordered an iced tea, Nitrous and the former crossdresser each ordering colas, and newton and Aqua ordering lemon lime soda.
         While waiting for their food, Kendy excused himself to the bathroom, where he will actually open his cans of sake so that no one will hear or suspect anything. He then placed it vertically on his bag and became careful on the way back so as to not spill the sake, as well as making sure nobody is suspicious of his actions.

      When Kendy arrived, he saw that the drinks have arrived, but none of the goers have touched it yet, saying that they’ll wait for the food before drinking any of it. Seeing this as an opportunity to execute his plan, he thought of a very quick diversion. “YO WTF SAYO AND HANAYO COSPLAYERS!” Kendy yelled while pointing to a place behind newton and Aqua. As expected, the two turned around to check out the cosplayers. While distracted, Kendy did a hush sign to the other two then poured the first can of sake into Aqua’s drink, then placed the can back into the bag. However, just as he was about to get the second can and pour it into newton’s drink, the latter and Aqua turned back around, clearly disappointed at the lack of cosplayers. “Ffs kendy,” Aqua lamented.

When the food arrived, Kendy suggested to “follow weeb customs and say ‘itadakismasu’ before eating”. The group lightheartedly complied and called themselves, in newton’s words “filthy fucking weeaboos”. They ate and chatted for a while until Aqua noticed a headache while his face turned bright red. Knowing that the alcohol is doing its charm, Kendy hopped on the opportunity to make another tease to reality.

“hey, aqua, remember when we had a deal? that if you kissed newton we’d pay you a hundred or something?” Kendy asked snarkily.

“euh? o yeadoo,” Aqua responded.

“well, that deal is still on, so do you want to do it?”

“yezhur”

“newton, you ok with this?” Kendy asked

“yeah dude a hundred is a hundred”

“alright, i’m recording in three, two, one”

Meanwhile, thoughts were rushing through Aqua’s mind “Wait wtf i’m actually doing this. uh… uh… i guess i’ll imitate the ones is see in anime and see how that goes”

Then it all happened at once. Aqua, in full view of his circle of friends, launched himself towards newton. Although he expected the kiss, he did not expect it to be done in this fashion. Meanwhile, Kendy was just recording and the other two were just watching.

Aqua wasn’t done yet. Although the agreement mentioned an extra hundred each if the tongue was involved, that never really occurred to him when he continued on to the French. Apparently newton forgot about this part of the
