Truth and Dare with the Cullens.

Bella POV:

I sat in silence in the car as we sped towards my fate. Edward had been incredibly cryptic as to what was happening this evening, only saying it would be fun.

"What exactly do you mean 'fun'?" I voiced when I managed to tear my fearful eyes away from the countryside that sped by my window. Trees blurred by at deathly speeds and though I knew Edward would never put me in danger, I still hadn't gotten used to his driving habits.

"I mean that I was promised fun by Alice and I still will not distrust her visions, well most of them." he amended.

I sighed and gave in, what could I say? Just as I trusted Edward with my safety, I trusted Alice. The ride ended too soon, as always. I didn't just want him to slow for my peace of mind, I also wanted as much time as possible with him. I just couldn't tell him my extra reason for wanting him to slow down. I smiled sadly as he opened my door and took my hand to help me out. I caught my foot on the door's lip and tumbled gracelessly into his arms. He held me longer than was strictly necessary to steady me and I rested in his arms.

"Stop lollygagging and get in here!" Her voice bombarded us and forced us to part. I was about to return to him, to claim his lips when I was jerked away.

"What the - ?" I managed to splutter before I was bundled into the house. Edward followed quickly in our wake. He was seething when he realised what he had been cheated of. I forgave Alice instantly when I saw his face. I giggled as the yearning was evident in his eyes.

"Alice! Give her back!" he complained. That just made me giggle even more

"No, not yet. First we play truth or dare." My giggling stopped immediately. I felt my jaw slacken and the natural flush I held in my face disappeared.

"Why have you stopped laughing?" he asked as he registered my expression. Did he really not know?

"have you never played truth or dare?" I asked as the thought struck me. He looked so innocent.

"No, but it can't be that bad." he answered more confidently than I was. I knew Alice as well as I knew the game. How could he say that and not see the evil glint in her eye?

"Oh, Bella! I promise you that you will enjoy this! I have seen it." Alice reassured me. I knew I wouldn't get out of this easily.

"Fine." I huffed. At least this way I could show my innocent boyfriend how wrong he could be. We walked into the living room and I was greeted with the entire family, excluding Carlisle and Esme - even the Cullen children had enough shame to hide this from their parents. I breathed a sigh of relief; they didn't need to share in the upcoming shame.

Al the seats were taken but one recliner. I dragged Edward to it and motioned for him to sit.

"Lady gets the seat." he said, as chivalrous as ever. I simply pushed him onto the chair and flopped on top of him. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I snuggled closer still, and turned to face him. Our lips met and his hands ran over my spine as I moved around fully on his lap. I shocked him as I straddled his waist and ran my hands through his hair.

"Ahem." Rosalie coughed. Edward stopped what he was doing and moved me to face the crowd, refusing to allow my preferred seating arrangement. I pouted. "Could you two please not do that. I don't need to see it." she visibly shuddered. I rolled my eyes and Jasper stifled a snigger.

"Emotions are funny sometimes." he said simply. I wanted to ask what he meant but Alice interjected.

"Are we playing or what?" she demanded.

"Yes, so who goes first?" Emmett asked.

Alice beamed. "He who asks."

"OK. Who first?" he mused. Looking around the room, he settled his gaze on Edward. I gulped for him. Even if he didn't fear this game, I did. "Edward, truth or dare?" I felt him shrug under me as he uttered his reply.

"Dare." he was too relaxed. I shook my head sadly, if he wouldn't believe me of his impending doom, this might convince him. Emmett was smiling wickedly as he considered the dare. As his decision became final, I heard his victim gasp in surprise. Through my concern, I smiled. It could get really funny.

"Silly Edward." he murmured. "I dare you to allow Alice to dress you up as a dog and run around the streets of Forks singing Who Let The Dogs Out by the Baha Men." Everyone in the room burst out into laughter, all except one. Finally he understood! I couldn't feel bad though, it was just too funny!

Edward lifted me off him suddenly and started walking away, clearly upset. I giggled helplessly on the floor as soon as he released me. "Sorry," I sputtered, "I warned you."

Edward's POV

I had to get up, to get her off me. All that shaking with laughter! Her body squirmed with laughter at my impending torment and I shocked myself with my reaction. She mustn't notice. I removed her from my lap to save her innocence. Only when that distraction was removed was I able to think clearly of my dare. This was going to be embarrassing. I caught a look from Jasper.

Does dressing up as a dog turn you on? He had noticed!

I shook my head slowly and his brows furrowed. I chanced a glance at Bella again. She was on the floor now, wriggling deliciously. I tried to forget about the upcoming dare, but that brought back the feelings that had forced her off my lap and Jasper noticed again.

Oh! Ha ha! Dude, you really should just turn her, then you wouldn't have to repress it.

I glared him and he went back to visualising me as a dog. Just as I began to worry about that again, Alice grabbed my arm and led me to her room.

Bella POV

I had just recovered from my hysterics when he made his entrance. I covered my mouth to stifle the laughter. Edward was dressed in a Halloween costume. His dog ears were attached to a hair band and his tail was half hidden by a skirt - it was a girl's Halloween costume.

"Sorry, Edward." Alice said as she handed him the finishing touches - a pair of gloves that were shaped as paws, while laughing manically. A low growl erupted from his throat and we made an effort to control our outbursts. Emmett was bent double, and barely registered the growing growl emitted from Edward. He didn't look happy in his miniskirt and furry tank top. In fact, he seemed decidedly fierce.

Alice gasped and her eyes glazed over, she had my attention immediately. "Back up, everyone." she whispered once she had regained herself. I jumped to the wall just as an orange flew past me and landed with a squelch on Emmett's head. He had not stopped laughing and hadn't realised what was happening. Orange pulp oozed down his face as he glared back at Edward. This only lasted a second, as he burst into a fresh bout of laughter upon seeing his brother again. We all followed suit at another glance at a now pouting Edward.

"Come on, in the car!" I stammered as I pulled Edward to the door. I couldn't wait to see this dare.

"You aren't even going to fight for my dignity?" he whined.

"Nope! I love you, but it is funny!" I said as we all piled into the car.

---------------- At the destination - a crowded street ----------------

"Go on Eddie!" teased Rosalie as the car pulled to a halt in front of a large crowd.

"Can't we go somewhere quieter?" he begged.

"No way! Where is the fun in that?" voiced Jasper from the back seat.

Edward sighed, realising he was fighting a loosing battle and stepped out, onto the sidewalk. With one final death glare at everyone, he began.

"Who let the dogs out? Woof woof woof woof?" he screamed as he pranced through the throng. A clear path was made for him as he danced through the scared spectators. He sang beautifully, and though everyone watching thought he was crazy, I caught a few lustful glances from the female spectators. However, my jealousy was cut short when he began the chorus:

"Who let the dogs out woof, woof, woof, woof
Who let the dogs out woof, woof, woof, woof
Who let the dogs out woof, woof, woof, woof
Who let the dogs out woof, woof, woof, woof"

I braced myself on the car to avoid hitting the pavement as he barked at an elderly woman. At least he was getting into it. I laughed myself to tears and by the time I had regained control of myself, my stomach ached with laughter. Edward slid into the driver's seat and revved the engine. We all jumped to get into the car in time.

Trees sped by my window and blended into a blur of green. I turned to Edward to ask him to slow, but when I saw him in his costume I had to look away quickly to avoid pointing and laughing.
