Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
I dare you to touch me
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

TRAVIS

Okay so this is what happened. Me and my little bro, Connor, (and yes he is the younger one even if he may try and disagree.)

were chilling by the lake after just having escaped from a group of really pissed off tree nymphs, due to a prank.

(But to be honest what did they expect, I mean we were sons of Hermes for Zeus' sake, we lived to prank and pranked to…live.)

And suddenly out of literally no-where our dad materialises.

And here's the best part, Connor gets so freaked out he falls back into the lake, screaming like a little girl, while I stand there laughing at him, (you would too, don't even try and deny it.)

And then my dad, (who was trying not to laugh) says, "Well, sorry to surprise you,

(which actually meant that he was disappointed in Connor that he forgot the number one rule in pranking, which is to expect the unexpected.)

and you have every right to be, since I hardly ever visit." Connor who had by now climbed out of the lake, smiled at dad like he wasn't soaking wet and had a pond lily on his head,

such a charmer, and I'm proud to admit that he got this very talent from 'mwah', and he said. "No worries," But he was obviously worried, who wouldn't be?

I mean, gods don't just go frolicking around places without a purpose, not that any of the gods frolic, except maybe for Aphrodite.

But anyway then he says, "I have a proposition for you." And my brother being the idiot he is goes and says "What's a proposition?"

And me and dad both look at him sympathetically and then I say, "Shut up Connor," and he does, so then Hermes says.

"What would you guys say to a game of truth or dare?" And Connor and I just look at Hermes as if he's finally gone mad, which being a god, can happen. I mean look at Hera.

And Hermes is just standing there grinning at us, as if he just came up with the best idea in the universe, and so I give him one of my signature fake grins, and go

"Dad, you want us to play truth or dare with you?" I say it slowly just in case he really has lost his mind, and then suddenly Hermes is looking at us as if we're the crazy ones.

Which totally doesn't make sense. "Uh, no. I don't have enough time for that. In fact I'm on a time crunch right now."

Which also doesn't make sense, since you'd think being immortal would give you plenty of time, but maybe not.

"But since you guys are so bored, maybe you know you could have a game of truth or dare with some other demi-gods."

Okay, by this point I was really creeped out, I mean yeah we were bored, but how the hell did Hermes find out, it's not like he was a prophet. Was he?

"If you need anything just ask." And with those incredulous instructions he vanished.

"So," said Connor after a while. "Let's play truth or dare?"

And that's how we'd ended up sitting in Percy's cabin since it was vacant (and 'cause everyone was too freaked out to go the Zeus or Hades cabin.)

"So just to make everything clear this is who's here." Said Annabeth, pulling out her notebook.

(Always such a help) and listed everyone's names, nodding towards each person as she went along the list.

"Piper, Kayla…" When Annabeth said her name Connor visibly brightened, (no pun intended) I shook my head, to be honest, Connor needed to grow up and ask her out.

It was so obvious they loved each other. "…Katie…" Seriously, who invited her? I looked over and saw Connor give me a sly grin.

Why, that idiot. How dare he? Didn't he know what a kill-joy Gardner was?

To be honest, I was actually surprised she had actually agreed to come, though she didn't look too happy about it.

"…Thalia…" Oh, great, her as well. And okay, I admit Thalia had some pretty good dares, but she was also Luke's on-again off-again girl-friend.

And just saying, but when they weren't dating Thalia could get pretty bitchy. Right now, they weren't dating.

"…Nyssa, Leo, Will, Jake, Luke, and…" Annabeth shot me a disdainful look. "Travis and Connor." I flashed her a smile, which was ignored.

How rude! My brother jumped up to explain the rules of the game, but I beat him to it.

I gave everyone a dazzling smile, to which Katie sighed, and rolled her eyes. Honestly, that woman had no appreciation.

I gave her a long stare making her blush slightly, which she tried to hide with a scowl. And failed.

"Okay, so I'll keep it simple. Basically you do the truth or dare, if you refuse you take off a particle of clothing."

"What, that's it I'm not playing." Screamed, (I'll give you 1 guess, 'cause it's quite obvious.) Gardner.

I look at her in mock-horror. "You're going to risk up-setting a god?"

"And that too Hermes?" added Connor.

"Katie," said Luke sincerely. "Are you sure you want to risk getting pranked for the rest of your life,

I mean sure dad's pretty busy and all that, but he would never give up a chance to prank."

"Demeter will stop him." Whispered Katie meekly. It was more of a question than a statement.

"Oh, leave her alone." Snapped Thalia, glaring at Luke.

Realisation dawned on Katie's face (god she was so easy to trick, and she called me dumb. Figures)

"Well then," I said, clasping my hands together. "Let the games begin."

I shouted theatrically, to a crowd of blank faces. "Dude, you just killed that." Muttered Connor shaking his head.

"Mmmm," agreed Leo. I rolled my eyes. These guys just didn't appreciate a true host.

"Well," said Annabeth. She licked her lips nervously. "Who's going first?"
