Stranger Things Truth or Dare
It was about three months after Eleven closed the gate to the Upside Down, trapping the Mind Flayer. She was currently sitting in the Wheeler's basement with Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will and Max. It took some time but El finally accepted Max after some long convincing from Mike and Lucas that she wasn't going to steal Mike away. With Will it was easier considering they pretty much both went through hell, and they hit it off straight away.
El was sitting next to Mike in the fort that was put up for her over a year ago, Mike never bringing himself to take it down. Max was sitting by Lucas, holding his hand on the couch while Dustin and Will sat by the D&D table. All the kids were bored out of their minds with no idea what to do. Suddenly Dustin jumped out of his seat scaring Will. Dustin immediately apologized to Will; knowing after what he went through, the last thing he needed was one of his best friends having a heart attack.
'Sorry Will, but I just had a brilliant idea' Dustin says excitedly.
Dustin waits for everyone to ask him what his idea is but they all stare blankly at him. Dustin rolls his eyes, 'Ugh, fine I'll tell you. Why don't we play TRUTH OR DARE?' vigorously shouting the last three words. Max, Lucas and Will immediately agree while Mike shakes his head knowing where this could lead. The last time they played when it was just the 4 boys, Lucas and Dustin ended up in hospital because they had glued their hands together.
'No, no, no, we cannot play that again, El doesn't even know how to play and after last time I definitely don't want her to'. Mike says.
'Is it fun? It sounds fun, please can I do it Mike?' El says in her small voice.
'Come on Mike, we'll keep it tame …for now' Dustin says to Mike. Mike knew the second El asked if she could play he would've said yes. El had Mike wrapped around her finger and he knew it. He also knew that if she wanted the moon, he would do anything to bring it to her. 'Fine, but keep it off dare for a bit, just so she can get used to it'.
Little did Mike know, that was exactly what Dustin had planned from the start. Even though they had kissed at the Snow Ball, Mike still didn't have the balls to ask El to be his girlfriend, he was too afraid she would say no and even more afraid that she wouldn't know what that was. Dustin was getting tired of watching Mike and El get close to each other without ever confessing what they felt about each other even though it was obvious to everyone else.
'Ok Mike, we'll keep it to truth.' Dustin says fishing a bottle out of his bag and placing it in the middle of the room. Everyone gathered around it, Mike and Eleven sitting next to each other, as was Lucas and Max. Will spun the bottle and it landed on Dustin. 'Ok Dustin, because we're keeping to truth, are you ready for your question?' Dustin nodded his head, his face set determined for whatever Will would throw at him. 'Who's hotter, Nancy or the librarian?' Everyone (yes, that includes El) looked at Will in shock, surprised that he would even think of a question like that.
Will knew what he said would embarrass Dustin because he knew what he was planning to do to Mike and El, so he figured, why not have some fun with Dustin. Dustin starts spluttering out 'I…um…Na…libr…Nancy'. 'WHAAATTT?!' Mike shouts red-faced staring at Dustin. Will has a giant smirk on his face, Lucas and Max are rolling on the floor clutching their sides and laughing, and El looks at Mike, worried why he's shouting at Dustin. Dustin just stares at the floor while tuning out what everyone is doing.
'Mike, are you okay?' Mike hears the calm voice of the girl he loves (he won't admit it) and sits back down, putting his hand in hers. 'I'm fine El'. Lucas and Max stop laughing, and Lucas tells Dustin to spin the bottle. Dustin spins the bottle which points to Mike. Dustin's face lights up and his smile becomes an evil smirk.
Mike looks at Dustin and with a sickening twist in his stomach, he immediately knows why Dustin was so lenient to start with truth. He lets go of El's hand and stares at Dustin. Dustin smile gets wider and begins his question to Mike, remembering how happy Mike was this morning at school, 'Mike, what did you dream about last night?' Mike's eyes widened, and he shivered knowing exactly what he dreamt about. Just as he was about to make up a story, Dustin said the three words Mike ever regretted telling El. 'And remember Mike, Friends Don't Lie'. Mike knew he had two choices: admit it or run away. He opened his mouth and began 'Last night I dreamt about…'
And I think we'll end it there for now. What do you guys/girls think Mike should do? Admit the happy dream he had or run away, I'll let you decide. I would also love some Truth or Dare questions.
