As part of S4, Yume knew that she would have many more requests to participate in interviews, concerts and movies.
What she did not know was that a single paper on a movie could change her life, could put her thinking on things that she never though...
"Y-You w-want us to do what?" I stammer, almost without voice.
"To kiss, of course." I don't know how was Subaru after hearing what Kirito said but I suppose that was similar to mine because Kirito added. "Hey relax. I just want you two to fake a kiss."
"What do you mean?" Subaru asks.
"You two will be hidden by a curtain. You will just have to be enough close to look like you two are kissing."

"The kiss will be the closure and the happy end for your characters. I don't know how I didn't think of this before." Kirito continues. "But you can kiss for real if you want."
I blushed a lot and he laughs. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Ah, good work today. You two really work well together." He waves and goes to Asuna.
I look over to Subaru to see that he has his cheeks tinted pink. He looks at me too and, for a reason that I don't know of, we start both laughing.
"One more thing." Kirito calls and approach us again.
Time skip
I throw some pillows at the ground and move some puffs to the area in front of my bed. Then, I place some snacks and drinks in a near table. To complete, I put some candles in the floor and in the table.
Tonight, me and girls are having a girls night in my room. It's been forever since we have done one and it's a good opportunity to catch up with the news.
The first ones to arrive were Mahiru, Ako and Yuzu, already in their pajamas. Minutes after Laura, Koharu and Lily entered.
"Hi!" We greet.
"Ahhh I'm so excited!" Yuzu exclaims.
"And when aren't you?" Laura smirks while Yuzu just makes an enthusiastic smile.
We all sit on the ground, forming a circle.
"So what are we gonna to do first?" Mahiru asks.
"Well, we haven't been together because of our work so why don't we start by catching up with the news?" I suggest.
Yuzu raises her arm. "Then could we choose people to start?" She asks.
"Hum... sure why not?"
She makes what seems a devilish grin. "Then..." She points at Koharu. "What has happened to you Koharu-chan? You seem happier than usual."
Koharu starts blushing. "W-Well... I..."
"Don't be shy Koharu." Laura encourages. "We will all say something so there's no problem." She makes a soft smile while patting in Koharu's shoulder.
She takes a deep breath. "I kinda have a date with Asahi-kun..."
There was a moment of silence before Mahiru gets up.
"You have a date with my brother?!"
Third Person's POV
And so the night went like this. Mahiru, after calming down, admitted that she was developing feelings for Nozomu. All the girls cheered her and were happy for her. They knew that love was a wonderful thing. After all, almost all of them were experiencing that new feeling in their own way.
Next was Ako, who also admitted to be in love with Kanata. The girls weren't really surprised which led to Ako to ask the why.
"Are you kidding me? It is so obvious that you like him." Laura said.
"But weren't you in love with Subaru-senpai?" Koharu asks.
"Well..." And so Ako explained everything.
When she stopped, all the girls were with dreamy eyes. Three of them, particularly, seemed to be in almost Cloud Nine with the image of her ships coming finally true. Only one was having an internal fight. Yume was confused. She wasn't understanding the reason of the why she was relieved by Ako's words. She was happy for her, of course, but a strange of relief was spreading through her body.
However, she didn't stay with her thoughts much time because a calm voice brought her to reality.
"And you Yume-san?" Lily asks.
"Just the normal I guess. Oh!" I clap my hands as I remember something. "The movie I'm making it's almost on its end and we will be recording the last scene on Okinawa. And Kirito said that I could invite you all to participate because the last scene will be a prom and we need people to be the guests! So, what do you say?" I make an enthusiastic smile.
They all smile. "Okinawa? Isn't that the place that has Furuzamami Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Japan?" Ako asks, her eyes twinkling.
"Yep!"
"Of course we want!" They all say, cheering and dancing.
Yume's POV
I giggled and joined them. It was a calming and relaxing environment and it really felt good!
When we stopped, we make a circle again.
"But Yume?" Laura asks. "What about romantic issues?"
I feel my face start to burn. "W-What about it?"
"Do you want to say something?"
"Why would I want?"
"You seem embarrassed. And there is only one motive for that for what I can remember." She makes a devilish grin. Since when is Laura like that?
"Oh come on Yume!" Yuzu intervenes. "Everyone said something!"
"Yeah that's true." Ako, Mahiru and Koharu say in unison while nodding her heads.
I look down, my cheeks tinted red. I take a small breath before looking up at the girls.
"W-Well, something happened between me and... and Subaru..."
"Aaaand?" The all long the "a" part while leaning to me.
"Well... we kinda... kissed. On the l-lips." I whisper but it was loudly enough for them to hear.
.
.
.
"WHAT?!" They yell and jump on me.
