Chapter 2
Kim ran downstairs to the kitchen to meet her mother Anne and her father James. "Morning Kimmie," Anne said, giving her daughter a kiss on the head. "How's your day going?"
"Hi mom." Kim said, getting herself some cereal. "Just got off of Skype. Gonna meet Ron and Monique at the mall in a few." She then turned sad as a thought came to her head. "I hope Ron gets into the same college as me." As she took her seat, her twin brothers, Jim and Tim, or as she likes to call them 'Tweebs', came into the kitchen with Jim filming Tim with his phone.
"Mom, where did you put the Pop Rocks?" Tim asked with urgency in his voice.
"We only got a minute to film this!" Jim said. "Clock's ticking!"
"They're up in the left cabinet." Anne said. The boys then grabbed the candy and then grabbed a cola from the fridge.
"Boys, I don't think it's a good idea to have candy and soda for breakfast." James said, taking his eyes off from his newspaper. "That stuff is gonna give you cavities badly."
"Oh, we're not eating it." Jim said.
"It's for our first Nerve dare." Tim said with a smile, causing Kim to spit out her orange juice in shock.
"You're playing too?!" Kim asked in disbelief. "Why?!"
"Quiet! We're starting!" Jim said as he started to film his twin brother eating the Pop Rocks, then the cola. Suddenly, foam started coming out of Tim's mouth. "This is so awesome! Get some on Kim!" Tim then approached Kim and got foam all over her pajama shirt.
"Tweebs!" Kim yelled as she started chasing her brothers. "Give me that!"
Jim and Tim stopped running as they heard a sound effect from Tim's phone. "We did it!" Jim said. "Our first dare is complete!"
"And we just won $100!" Tim said, high fiving his brother.
"Hicka Bicka Boo!" The twins said in unison. Kim then growled, gaining her brothers attention.
"You two are gonna pay for this later!" Kim said as she stormed off back into the kitchen.
"We'll pay you once we win!" Jim said.
"Hoo Sha!" Tim said. Kim then went back to her seat and sat down with a scowl on her face.
"Honestly, kids today. With all the tech they could dream up just to do crazy things." James said. "We didn't have live streaming back in my day. A super 8 camera was all the filming rage back then." Kim smiled at her goofy rocket scientist dad.
"I'll make sure the boys buy you a new pajama shirt." Anne whispered.
"Nah, it's OK mom. I was aiming to go to the mall today anyway." Kim said as she headed upstairs to change. After she changed into a pink t shirt and blue sweat pants, Kim then stared at her computer, deep in thought. What's the deal with Nerve anyway? Is it safe? Legal? How do I even know it's legit? Kim then decided to go online and give it a quick look. She typed 'Nerve' into Google and clicked on the first suggestion.
"Welcome to Nerve: Middleton." A computerized voice said as neon lights flashed onto Kim's screen. "Nerve is a 24 hour game of truth or dare. Minus the truth. Watchers pay to watch, and players play to win cash and glory. Are you a watcher or a player? Are you a watcher or a player?"
The voice kept asking Kim the same question over and over again. "I don't know." Kim said, before reach for her Kimmunicator and calling Wade. "Wade, could you tell me more about this Nerve game? Is it even legal?"
Wade smiled sheepishly. "Not really." He said.
"Do you think some bad guy could have cooked this up?" Kim asked. "Like Frugal Lucre or Drakken?"
"No. It's just a bunch of anonymous people. When you sign up, anyone could basically become a server." Wade said. "Why you ask? You planning to become a watcher or a player?"
Kim just laughed at that. "No. Just curious. Anyway, gotta go meet Ron and Monique at the mall. Catch ya later." Kim said before hanging up and hopping into her purple Sloth to head towards the Middleton Mall.
At the Middleton Mall, Bonnie was with her friend Tara, and her boyfriend, Senor Senior Junior, both of them filming Bonnie for Nerve. "Junior honey, are we ready?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes we are, my darling." Junior said. "Hold on." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out his comb to use on his hair. Bonnie just smiled at how amazingly cute her boyfriend was, unlike Brick. "OK, now we are ready."
"You're really gonna do this, Bonnie?" Tara asked with a mix of nervousness and excitement in her voice.
"Well, no duh." Bonnie said before getting in front of the phone camera. "Hey Watchers! This is Bon Bon, and I'm counting on all of you to get me to the final round. So, don't let me down and I won't let you down."
"Yes! Show them how we pretty people do it!" Junior cheered as Bonnie removed her top, revealing her lack of bra, and then her shorts, leaving her fully nude. Tara just couldn't stop smiling as Bonnie walked around the mall without any clothes on, shocking mall goers as they went on with their lives.
Meanwhile, at Club Banana, Kim was talking to Monique and Ron about Nerve. "So, the winner wins like a whole bunch of money, right?" Kim asked Ron.
"Pretty much." Ron said.
"Think about Kim. That could mean a really nice dress when going out with your man." Monique said, trying to sell the idea to her BFF. Kim smiled at that.
"Yeah. Besides Kim, you basically kick major bad guy booty and save the world. Who knows what people could come up with for you?" Ron asked. Kim just blushed at Ron's compliment.
"Well then, why don't you become a player, Mr. Stoppable?" Kim asked playfully.
"Sorry KP. But the Ron man also has his limits. I'm just a watcher." Ron said. "I can be part of the trend while still playin it safe. Like I said, mama didn't raise no fool, yup yup."
"Yeah, I guess everyone doesn't have to be...OH MY GOD! Bonnie's naked!" Kim yelled as she spotted Bonnie walking into Club Banana, still fully nude, causing Ron and Monique's mouths to drop.
"What's up everyone?" Bonnie asked. "Oh, this? Just a Nerve dare. I'm having Tara and Junior film for me."
Rufus spotted it and smiled. "You go girl!" Rufus squeaked.
"OK. I think I need to go to the bathroom and wash soap into my eyes." Monique said, leaving the store.
"We'll meet later at Bueno Nacho." Kim called out as she was almost ready to vomit.
"Bonnie! You did it!" Tara said as Bonnie came racing back to her and Junior and saw that she won $300.
"Told you so. I'm so going all the way!" Bonnie said with excitement, causing Kim to scowl in frustration.
"The heck of her." Kim said, grabbing Ron's arm and taking him with her to Bueno Nacho. "Let's get out of here."
Meanwhile in the city, Bonnie's ex boyfriend Brick Flag was hanging onto the back of a cop car while skate boarding and filming himself. "This is so rad." Brick said to the camera before the sirens let off and he let go. His phone then lit up and said, 'Dare Complete'. "You're halfway there. You got this."
