5 and maybe OT6 Gokaiger? Just let the polycule kiss ;-;

I do love a full-team smooch. ^_^ 5 is a Firm Kiss and this one got very silly. party games

"No, really, you couldn't have--not in every room in the ship."

"Every room."

"Even the engine room?"

"Just the once. We were having an issue with the climate control, it was warm in there." Marvelous grins. "My back did hurt afterward."

Ahim sets down her embroidery very suddenly and everyone looks over at her, startled. In Marvelous' case this leads to nearly overbalancing and falling off the couch, since he's lying with his feet propped on the wall and his head hanging off the seat.

She says, "I think we should have a party."

More staring. Doc says, slowly, "What, uh, what's the occasion?"

"The occasion," as she begins to fold up her work, very neatly, "is that we defeated Zangyack on Earth at least six months ago and since then we've barely been off the Galleon for anything but grocery shopping. I'm aware that traveling to the Zangyack home world is a lengthy and dangerous journey, and that the search for us is so rigorous and our bounties have increased to such a degree that extended shore leave isn't a good idea at the moment, but everyone requires some variance of routine."

There's some generalized nodding from the others as Marvelous' eyebrows rise toward the floor. "So you think we should have a party."

"Yes." She nods firmly. "With games."

Everyone is staring as Gai says, "I feel like I know this game."

"You may, it's very simple." Ahim is still focused on what she's doing, which is carefully balancing a large golden coin on its edge on the back of a chair. "You challenge someone, and all you're trying to do is knock the coin down before they manage it. Whoever manages it first gets a forfeit of their choice from the other, and then the loser makes the next challenge."

Marvelous grins, reaching for his hip. "That sounds easy enough, I'll just--"

"No weapons." Ahim's expression is just as serene as ever, but her tone is sharp. "That would be cheating. And you do have to be at least a meter away." She pauses, and then produces a piece of blue dressmaker's chalk from somewhere and marks a spot on the floor. "Here, I believe this should a good place from which to aim."

"Well, it's your game." Marvelous is, in fact, pouting a bit. "So why don't you go first? Challenge someone."

"If you like." She looks pleased at the suggestion. "I think I'll challenge...Joe. And as the challenger I will of course go second."

Joe nods, frowning faintly. "If you like, Ahim." He steps up to the mark, digs a smaller coin out of one of his pockets, and flips it. It sparkles in the air for a moment before landing flat on the back of his hand, and then he flicks his middle finger at it and sends it flying at the golden coin on the chair.

And misses by a hair.

"Damn." Joe squints at where his coin lies, on the floor well past the chair. "I was sure I had it. I guess that makes it your turn, Ahim?"

"Thank you very much."

She steps up to the mark and gives the coin a considering look, and then reaches up and very carefully slides a hairpin out of her bun. Joe's eyebrows shoot up. "Really?"

"I'm very good at this game." She smiles sweetly, pinching the hairpin in her fingertips as she takes aim. "On Famille, before Zangyack began attacking, I was considered quite a prodigy. Although of course the adults I played against had generally been drinking, so that may have biased their judgments of the situation." A pause, a shift in angle, and she throws her hairpin like a dart.

It strikes the coin squarely in the center, sending it clattering onto the seat of the chair as Luka lets out an impressed whistle. Doc stares. Joe, Gai, and Marvelous all clap as Joe says, "Damn, all right, you win. What'd you want for forfeit? I assume there's some kind of ca--"

The kiss she gives him would probably be best described as "solid." Certainly she has an iron grip on the collar of the shirt that he definitely stole from Marvelous; certainly their mouths are pressed together very firmly. When she pulls back, he just blinks, looking dumbfounded, as she says, sweetly, "Why, Mr. Joe, sir, didn't anyone ever teach you that it's rude to make impertinent assumptions about a lady's intentions?"

He blinks at her more.

She lets go of his collar and pats him gently on the cheek. "It's your challenge now."

"Um." A slow, dazed nod. "Right. Right." He goes and collects the coin he threw as she's resetting the large one on the back of the chair and putting her hairpin back in. "Gai. Challenge."

Gai nods. "Do you, uh, do you need a second to get your breath back--"

"I'm fine." Joe shakes himself. "I'm good. Besides, I. I challenged, you go first."

"Oh, right, yeah." A beat, and then Gai grins as he's pulling out a pen. "Do I get a kiss if I win?"

Joe flashes him a smile. "Beat me first and we'll see."

Gai's thrown pen goes wide. This time, however, Joe's flicked penny strikes true, causing the coin on the chair to let out a bell-like ringing sound as it falls. Luka frowns. "What kind of coin is that, anyway? I don't recognize it."

"It's a Famille fifty-crown piece." Ahim beams at her, going to reset the game. "One of my most precious possessions--oh my."

Having recovered from his shock, Joe has clearly decided to follow Ahim's lead, and then some. His arm is around Gai's waist; the kiss involves a dramatic dip that very nearly tips them both over until Marvelous gets a hand under Gai's back. When Gai's got his mouth back he says, weakly, "Right. Ok. So I get a kiss if I lose."

Joe shrugs. "I don't know, I considered making you polish my boots, but the kissing seemed more fun. Anyway," pulling him upright again with only a little help from Marvelous, "your turn to challenge someone."

Gai shakes himself and says, "Luka."

Luka snorts. "I will make you do my laundry if I win."

"Luka, I do your laundry already, Don and I do everyone's laundry."

"By hand."

"Well, I'll just have to win, then."

Another, more amused snort, and then Luka steps up to the mark, pulls a ring off her pinky, and hurls it point-blank at the coin as everyone holds their breath.

She misses.

"Fuck."

"Language," Ahim says absently, not actually seeming bothered.

"All right, my try now." Gai glances down at the pen in his hand and then tosses it overhand onto the table. "This didn't work last time, but I think I have something that will." He digs in the pocket of his jeans and pulls out something small and white.

Everyone blinks. Doc frowns. "Gai, we were supposed to give those back."

"I tried to, I went to Aba Red and asked if he wanted it." Gai hefts the Abare Killer key in his palm, gazing down at it as if it might tell him something. "But he said that he thought I should keep it. Since Dr. Nakadai gave it to me himself, sort of. I still have Time Fire too, Time Red couldn't even look at it, and Mr. Geki said he thought his brother would want the Dragon Ranger powers staying with someone who would use them more." A solemn pause, and then he tosses the Abare Killer key into the air, sending it flipping end over end and then catching it again and holding it like a dart. "Anyway, Abare Killer loved winning, so I figure this gives me a good chance."

He hurls the key and it strikes true, with a tk that somehow also manages to sound like a little self-satisfied, "Hm," and knocks the coin entirely off the chair and onto the floor.

Luka makes a faint, astonished noise, allows Gai to press a kiss to the corner of her mouth, and then grabs his scarf and kisses him with significantly more thoroughness. "If this is what we're all doing you should kiss me right."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Don't call me that. Doc, get over here."

Doc's hands are shaking so badly when he throws the loose button he's been fidgeting with that it goes very wide, bounces off the wall, and has to be caught by Joe before it can roll away entirely. Luka rolls her eyes, throws a ring from her other hand, and knocks the coin down with ease.

Doc sighs. "So, laundry by hand, then--mmph." And, a moment later, once Luka lets go of him, "Oh, ok."

"What?" Luka isn't quite smiling now. "I'm just playing along."

Marvelous says, "I'm starting to feel a little neglected--"

"Marvelous?" Doc's fidgeting with the button again. "Challenge."

"Oh. Good." Marvelous reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out his own Ranger Key. "Anyone want to bet I'll be the first person to win when it's not my challenge?"

"I'll take that bet." Ahim smiles up at him. "If you lose to Doc now you owe forfeit to everyone."

"Done." He nods to Doc. "In fact, I'm so sure I'll win that I'll let you go first, even though it's supposed to be me since you challenged me."

Doc's starting to look more relaxed, but at this he goes tense again. "All, all right, if you like." He steps up to the mark and throws the button.

It looks like it's going to bounce off the wall again, and it does--but this time it hits the coin on the way through, knocking it to the floor as Marvelous' jaw drops.

Doc, also looking shocked at his own success, says. "Um. So you owe everyone."

"Well, he owes you first." Joe sounds like he might start laughing. "Since it was against you."

It's a chaste kiss, really, Doc's never been big on public displays of affection, and Marvelous seems fine with that. Then, a turn, and a theatrical bow to the rest of the crew. "I owe a forfeit to you all, and obviously I'm going to pay up, but I have a question first."

Gai frowns. "What's your question?"

"Ahim."

Ahim is suddenly visibly tense. "Yes, Captain?"

"Where is it?"

There's a long pause as everyone turns to look at Ahim, and after a moment she starts to blush and produces the Magi Pink Ranger Key from one of her sleeves. "I will admit that I may have affected the outcomes of some throws slightly in order to prolong the game."

Doc gapes at her. "Ahim, where did you even get that?"

"I called Miss Houka personally. Navi helped."

Marvelous' eyes go wide, and he turns and shouts, "Bird! Did you help Ahim rig this whole thing?"

"Not a bird!" is the screech from steerage. "I just made a phone call! Did a little transit! Nothing suspicious! She's gotta give it back now!"

Everyone's still staring at Ahim, whose blush has spread to the tips of her ears. "She said, and I quote, 'get it, girl, hell yeah,' and then had to hang up because one of her boyfriends was calling."

Doc still looks like he's reeling. "Why, though?"

"We were in a rut. A lively party always cheers everyone up."

"...admittedly I am in a much better mood than I have been for the past few days."

She beams at him. "I'm very glad to hear it. And," to Marvelous, "don't think this renders our agreement invalid, you still owe forfeit."

Marvelous lets out a long sigh, looking not at all unhappy. "So are we sticking with kisses or should I start taking my clothes off? Wait, what are you whispering about?"

Luka glances up from the hastily-convened huddle and says, placidly, "Choice of music."

"I am not dancing for you."

"If you didn't want to then you shouldn't have made that bet with Ahim."

Marvelous sighs again, although at this point he can't even successfully pretend to be irritated. "Ok, fair. That's fair. I don't know why I ever bet against her anyway."
