I was running through the obstacle course, laser gun in hand, laughing my head off. I'd been a part of Starkid for only a little while, but we were all already very close. They'd invited me to one of their post musical parties, which happened to be laser tag this time. This match, our third, was set into teams, 8 on each side. Dylan, Joey, Nick, Matt, Jeff, Jaime, Darren, and Lauren were on the first team. My team was Clark, Corey, Mariah, Brian, Meredith, Robert, and Jon. We had a big field to work with and my team was in the lead. I was kind of disappointed Lauren was on another team than me, though. I had a huge crush on her, almost immediately after we met. She was so beautiful and funny and kind. Her laugh was so contagious too. She also-
"(Y/N) on your left!" I herd Mere yell at me while I was daydreaming. Instinctively, I dodged behind the nearest object and shot back. Luckily, I hadn't been hit yet.
"Thanks, Mere!" I yelled over my shoulder to where her voice came from, though I didn't see her.
Behind one of the prop walls, I found myself distracted by Lauren again. I could see her running around the arena, cackling manically, which was adorable, considering her short stature.

(minutes later)

There was only a few of us left now. Both me and Lauren were still in the game, along with only a few other Starkids.
"(Y/N)~~~" I heard Lauren calling my name, looking for me. Boy, was she competitive. I was sneaking around when she suddenly jumped out from behind a prop, guns blazing. I dodged it all somehow, running away instantly.
"Oh fuck you!!" she called out when she realized she hadn't gotten me.
"Take me out to dinner first!" I yell back.
"Only if you get your ass back here!" She answered. I smiled, blushing. We 'flirted' like this all the time, making my crush worse too. I never knew if she liked me, but I didn't want to say anything to make the flirting games awkward. I ran into her again a few seconds later.
"You called? When's the date?" I smirked, dodging a shot or two from her. She lifted one of her eyebrows and smirked back. All of a sudden, she slammed into me, backing me up against a corner of the arena.
"You choose..." she whispered. Her lips crashed onto mine, surprising me. She did like me.. I closed my eyes, taking it in. I abruptly saw red in front my closed eyes. I opened them as Lauren leaned away. Without making eye contact she walked away, waving her gun as a goodbye. I looked down where the red neon light was coming from.

Shit.

She shot me!

I looked back up and the beautiful shorty had disappeared.
