"Truth. I don't plan on humiliating myself like you fools." Halt said, shocking everybody.

"Ok Halt..."

"Ok Halt...describe exactly how you felt when you first met Pauline." Alyss said, grinning evilly.

"Fuck." Halt said.

"Go on." Will and Gilan prompted.

*Imma line break*

Side note: ok, first off: sorry for intruding in on the story. Second: Do not read the next scene if you cannot take Halt going beet red. Seriously. Also Pauline. Cause she's there too. But this scene was literally so hard to write, like seriously. I had to get the right amount of Halt, Halt's feelings, and everyone's reactions, as well as not make Halt seem like a complete and total fool/idiot. Not that he needs help but...sorry, couldn't resist! Halt always made comments like that to me so I'm just getting him back. Sorry this side note was so long!

*Imma line break*

"Erm, I was..." Halt hesitated, looking for the right words. "astounded by her, erm, beauty, and stuff." Halt finally finished, turning redder than a strawberry. Pauline was Halt's color, just a few shades lighter. Only a few, mind you.

"Gilan, truth or dare?" Halt asked, wanting to be onto the next topic.

"Ummm, well, I get humiliated either way so I suppose dare." Gilan said, hoping this one wouldn't include no coffee.

"I dare you to find Blaze a nice stallion." Halt said, grinning like a wolf.

"Fuck you."

"Not a nice thing to say to your mentor." Halt said, more to be annoying to Gilan than anything.

"Fine."

*Later that day*

Who is this, and why is he-oooh.

'What, dumbfounded by his good looks, Blaze?' Gilan thought-asked.

For once there was no answer. Blaze gave out a whinny and trotted over to where the stallion stood, looking all regal and everything.

"You happy now, Halt?" Gilan asked.

"Very."

"Will, truth or dare?" Gilan asked.

"Urm...truth. Why not?" Will said. He'd rather have his pride wounded, rather than his body. Not that he had much pride.

"What's your opinion on boars?"

"I'll hunt them all down then kill them, then bring them back to life so I can do it again." Will said venomously.

"Wow." Gilan said. He'd been hoping to expose some fear, but instead he'd only aroused anger. Oops.

"Truth or dare Evanlyn?" Will asked.

"Umm...I choose dare." Evanlyn said.

"I dare you to get me some coffee." Will said.

*A few minutes later, after she had made one cup of coffee for Will*

"Here ya go Will." Evanlyn said, handing him the cup.

"Thanks." Will said, and sipped it. "BLECK!"

"You never said it had to taste good." Evanlyn said easily.

"This is decaf!"

"Oh. I thought you were talking about the taste. Guess I don't know how to ruin coffee." Evanlyn said.

"Alyss, truth or dare?" Evanlyn asked. (Oops, well, I guess I'll just call her Evanlyn. I can't get her name right.)

"Dare." Alyss said.

"I dare you to fail your next mission." Evanlyn said, grinning.

"I can't do that! What if my next mission holds the fate of Araluen?!" Alyss screeched, losing her cool for the first time in forever.

"Evanlyn, with you being the princess you should understand that couriers cannot afford to just 'fail their missions.' It could cause war, or it could kill the couriers." Pauline said.

"Just like how Rangers can't afford to fail, it would probably-no, it would cost us our lives." Halt put in.

"Kay, I withdraw that dare." Evanlyn said.

"You can do that?" Gilan asked.

"If everyone agrees to it, then yes." Halt said.

"How do you know the rules so well Halt?" Will asked.

"Well...Ferris always liked to put me through a lot using this sooooo..." Halt said awkwardly.

"Oh." Will said.

"Alyss, I dare you to...go out with Will." Evanlyn said.

*The next day*

"Guys, we have big news!" Alyss said. "Will asked me to marry him!" she squealed. Will nodded, his grin impossibly big. (I do NOT care that this is not how Will asked Alyss to marry him, I'm doing it.)

"All because of my dare?!" Evanlyn said, looking shocked. She actually stepped back a few paces.

"Yes!" Will said, still grinning.

"Woohoo!" Evanlyn said. "My plan worked! Oh, I was planning on giving them the nudge that they needed." Evanlyn said when everyone looked at her.

*After the wedding and stuff*

"Ok, Halt. Truth or dare?" Alyss asked.

"Truth." Halt said.

"Why do you always do truth?" Alyss asked, genuinely curious.
