Chapter 1: May the Best Couple Win
"Are you and your sweetheart the cutest couple on campus? Here's your chance to prove it!"Returning from a class in the days leading up to Valentine's Day, Your Character overhears Zack and Tyler talking about the annual Couples' Challenge run by the university where couples compete to declare the cutest couple on campus. Learning the winners are treated to an all-expenses-paid luxurious Valentine's Date, you decide to enter the contest with your partner who may be either Chris, James, or Kaitlyn. On the morning of the competition you meet in the ballroom with Zack and Brandon, Tyler and Abbie, and Becca and Sebastian among the hopeful couples. You learn that Edgar had intended on entering the contest with Cassandra Pentaghast however given video game characters were not qualified as participants, he instead participates by helping set-up and oversee the contest. After being introduced to the judges, Helen Twombly and Professor Vasquez, you begin the challenges.

Chapter 2: Everyone's A Winner
"You and your valentine have a romantic evening ahead of you! Will sparks fly or just fizzle out?" If Your Character chose Chris as her date, James and Kaitlyn debated over which version of Nosferatu film to watch. James wanted to watch the original while Kaitlyn wanted to watch the Kertzog remake instead. He commented on the legendary cinematography and how legendary Max Schreck is. She then replied with Klaus Kinski's more depth to the character and how Hertzog's version lingered with the plague scenes. Neither ended up watching Nosferatu and called it a draw. Instead, they ended up watching the original Dracula.

If Your Character chose James as her date, Chris and Kaitlyn stayed in and played video games together. Chris told her that he would've beaten Kaitlyn's top score in Knights of Aurelia. Kaitlyn then said he would've beaten her if he was better at earning armor upgrades. Chris replied with Kaitlyn destroying his armory. Kaitlyn bragged about her video games and said they had a great time.

If Your Character chose Kaitlyn as her date, Chris and James played football. James didn't like the idea as he's not the athletic type. Then, they grabbed some hot dogs and watched a soccer game instead. James said that he preferred watching sports, not playing them.

In the second chapter, either you won or lost the contest to Becca and Sebastian. Becca pushes Your Character in the pool. As she tries to get back up, Madison declares a pool party. Kaitlyn, Zack, and the rest of the students (except for Becca) join in. At the end of the pool party, Your Character cuddles with their chosen partner.
