Chapter 1 – The dare game –

Danny's POV -

Danny sighs; another boring day at the ARC was not what he was expecting. Well, it was far from the usual endless anomaly alerts, Connor's relentless clumsiness, Lester's smart and sarcastic remarks and Becker's general nonplussed mood. No, today was different, today might actually be….Dull.

A sigh escapes from Danny as he fiddles with a pencil in the break room, one hand on the yellow pencil, the other on a metal sharpener. Danny sharpens the pencil, one turn at a time, until he is satisfied that the pencil cannot be sharpened anymore without breaking.

Lester's POV -

A quiet day at the ARC usually means all hell is about to suddenly break loose, either Connor will make a colossal mistake which could mean the end of the world as we know it, or there's a huge anomaly alert with millions of lives at risk. But not today, today is different, today's abnormal. Lester sulks in his office, his fingers grazing over yesterday's long finished paperwork, its black and white bold headings now seeming like the most exciting thing he's ever seen.

Connor's POV –

As the day wears on, Connor's built up boredom is reaching an all-time high. With Abby busy tending to her plants and all paperwork done, the day has become just too much for Connor to handle. A smile tugs at the sides of his lips, curving upwards as an idea plants itself in his mind.

He skips down the ARC's corridor, and stopping outside Abby's lab. Connor's head edges itself around the corner, and stares as Abby sprays some exotic looking plants. She looks up, "What do you want Connor?" She enquires, Connor's eyes dance around and sparkle, "Game of truth or dare with the others?" He squeaks. The expected reply is a firm no and possibly a slap on the arm.

"Yeh, go on then, that could be fun" Abby replies, a look of sheer shock passes through Connor's face as he nods, he then flinches as Abby brushes past him, expecting a whack at any moment.

It's less than 20 minutes later and the team minus Philip, Emily and Jess are sitting in the break room, all on the comfy sofas that have been laid out in a circle.

Lester, Abby, Connor, Matt, Becker and Danny glance at each other with knowing looks, they're seriously going to regret this.

"Abby's turn first!" Connor calls out; "Dare" Abby states boldly. There's laughing and sniggering as the rest of the team decide on Abby's fate. "Okay…Okay." Matt says, repeating himself out of laughter, "Your dare is to go up to Philip and kiss him on the cheek!" Matt squeaks, his voice high pitched and excited. Abby groans, "No, I can't" She sighs, the teams faces turn to despair. "But Abby it's a dare!" Becker butts in. "Well thank you for that statement of the blinding obvious!" Lester snaps.

Abby sighs, not wanting to cause any further arguments, she stands up, and strides out of the room. 5 giggling colleagues in tow.

She finds Philip in the main room, pondering over some device that Connor has built. She walks up beside him, and scrunches up her face before quickly placing a peck on the cheek to Philip. "Sorry!" She squeaks before turning on her heel and speed walking out of the room.

Abby slumps back in her seat, and watches as the other 5 members snigger as they sit back down, even Lester has a grin on his face!

"Euurrgggh, his beard was all prickly" She says whilst wiping her mouth with her sleeve. "Connor's turn" Abby says.

Connor sighs, and Lester's voice pipes up, "Truth or dare?" He asks, "Truth" He squeaks, if the dare would be anything like Abby's then no dares for him!

"Wimp" Abby teases as she elbows Connor, "Ok, how old were you when you had your first kiss!" Danny asks.

Connor groans, "Umm…..20?" He squeaks, the room erupts with cackles of laughter, even Lester is struggling to keep the laughter contained.

"Ok, Danny's turn" Connor says, Danny grins, "Dare" He says, although he's most likely going to regret that decision.

"Ok, your dare is to…Eat some of Rex's poo!" Abby shrieks, Danny shows no sign of disgust as he bravely stands up and strides out of the room towards the menagerie. 5 expectant faces following behind.

5 minutes later and Danny holds the small piece of prehistoric poo in his hands, "Here goes" He says, he pops the poo into his mouth, sucking on it, and he soon decides it doesn't taste good. The team look away in disgust, Connor shrivelling up his face as Danny chews on the poo.

Danny opens his mouth, revealing it empty, "Done" He chirps, a wide grin on his face.

5 minutes later and the team are gathered around in the break room once again, "Ok, Matt's turn!" Danny erupts, his grin wider than ever, "Truth or dare?" Becker asks. "Truth" Matt replies, "Ok…Have you ever….Had a threesome?" Connor splutters, fits of giggles erupt from around the room, Matt laughs, "No Connor" He says, "you sure?" Connor questions. Matt hesitates, "Uhhh…." He then continues to awkwardly look down to the floor.

"Oh….My….God…." Abby mutters, "You didn't….." Connor laughs. Lester coughs awkwardly, "Well….Moving on…Becker's turn" He says.

Becker groans, he's been dreading his turn, "Truth or dare?" Abby asks, although through laughter. "Dare" Becker mutters, "This is going to be Jess related isn't it?" He adds, the team nod eagerly before discussing their ideas.

"Ok, Becker, what you have to do is go up to Jess, and make her apply makeup on you!" Connor splutters with laughter, "no" Becker snaps, not wanting to let his reputation be shattered that quickly, "But you then have to go into the armoury where all your soldiers are…." Connor adds.

Becker growls, "Becker….Are you too much of a wimp for this?" Danny teases, Connor laughs, he's never seen Becker quite this angry!

Becker grumbles, before standing up, and heading swiftly towards the main room where Jess sits at the ADD.

Becker's POV –

God how he's going to regret this. Becker sidles up beside Jess, he holds a note of what he has to say. He coughs, "Jess, I need you to do something for me" He says, Jess looks up at her friend, her usual bubbly smile on her face, "Course, what is it?" She chirps. Becker squints at the note, "For a long time now, I've been wondering what it's like to wear makeup, and thought that this would be the perfect time to try it out" Becker states.

Jess giggles, not quite expecting this from the captain, "Jess, what I'm trying to say is" Becker starts while promising himself he'll kill Connor later, "Jess…I want you to put make up on me, and I want it really sparkly, and…..And…..and pink" Becker reads aloud, hell, he's going to regret this.

30 minutes later and Jess is applying the bright pink sparkly lipstick, Becker frowns, he looks terrible.

He stands up, "How do I look?" He asks, Jess giggles at the sight. The serious military captain in many layers of makeup did look pretty funny, no, wait, make that hilarious.

"Thanks Jess" He says, before turning on his heel and speed walking out of the main room, but he's not quick enough, as Connor's already snapped a few photos on his phone and Becker's pretty sure that Danny's got a couple too.

Becker growls as he strides into the armoury, "Attention!" He shouts, he's never used that word on the soldiers before but it seems to work, as all his men look at him expectantly, but instead of standing in silence, they erupt into fits of laughter. Becker stands still as the soldiers snap a hundred photos of their poor captain, Becker sighs, turns around and storms out of the room.

"Done" he says as he wipes the last of the makeup from his face. The team have gathered around once more, still laughing at Becker.

"Right, 15 minutes till the end of the day, good work everyone" Lester states, "Not so fast" Connor says as he raises his hand up, "Lester, you haven't had your turn yet" Connor informs.

Lester groans, having not got away with his excuse. "Truth or dare?" Matt asks, Lester sighs, "Dare" He says, the team giggle.

"Ok, what you have to do is, put on Abby's dress, call all staff members to the main room, and sing that Barbie song to everyone" Danny says, Lester's head drops into his hands.

15 minutes later and Lester steps out into the main room, Abby's stretchy dress on, it's pink, with sparkles on the top half and a flouncy skirt on bottom, it comes complete with a purple belt, which Lester is also wearing.

"I am so going to regret this" He says.

"Everyone to main room, I repeat, all ARC staff to main room!" Lester orders.

In a matter of minutes, every member of staff is gathered in the main room, gawping at their boss as he prepares to do something that he'll never forget.

Lester stands at the front, he takes in deep breaths, mentally preparing himself for the task that lays ahead.

"Sir! Prime minister here for you!" A soldier says, Lester's mouth forms the perfect 'O' shape as none other than the prime minister himself walks into the main room, "Oh, and the Queen." The soldier informs. And soon enough, the Queen herself parades into the room, she shakes a few hands, before staring at Lester in the dress.

Lester looks down at Connor, who mouths 'Barbie song' at him, Lester gulps, "I am so fired" He mutters, he takes a deep breath…

"I'm a Barbie girl….In a barbie world…Life in plastic….It's fantastic!" Lester sings at the top of his voice, the soldiers erupt into laughter, even the Queen herself looks slightly amused.

"Next lines!" Connor shouts.

"You can brush my hair…." Lester gulps again, "Undress me everywhere…."

"Next verse!" Connor shouts, getting a little carried away, Lester grumbles,

"I'm a blonde bimbo girl….In a fantasy world…dress me up, make it tight…I'm your darling, you are my doll, rock and roll….feel the glamour in pink, kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky..." He sings, Lester shuts his mouth quickly, regretting ever accepting to play truth or dare, he walks awkwardly through the soldiers and stops in front of the Queen, who is busy in fits of laughter.

"And the best apart about it was, I got it on video!" Connor laughs.

Okay…..That was random I know, and I know a lot of it was out of character for them, but I don't really care, this story is just for fun. - And I don't know all the words to the Barbie song, I had to google it!

There will be 5 chapters of this story, first is truth or dare, second will probably be spin the bottle or something, any ideas? - Thanks to everyone who has read this, and please review x (If there's any grammar or spelling mistakes, please let me know! Thanks) OHH! READ THIS – Take a good look at the lyrics for the Barbie song, it looks weird and really wrong to me…..
