Jasper POV

The humour in the car was stifling. It weighed down on me, constricting my chest. No one risked laughing out loud in such proximity to the dog but their repressing, forced more upon me. Sometimes, my gift really seemed more like a curse. I held out as long as I could, however, my efforts were for nothing as Bella glanced at Edward again. She may have managed to avoid laughing, but I couldn't. I balked and guffawed with the release of emotion. Alice giggled on my lap and everyone else in the car joined in. all except the grumpy puppy.

"I am not a grumpy puppy." Edward grumbled from the front seat. I should have tried blocking my mind better. We pulled up to the house and he turned to me. Waves upon waves of vindictive scheming lapped over me as he spoke the next words.

"Jasper, truth or dare?"

Edward POV

I was never going to live this down. Not only was I dressed as a dog, I was dressed as a sluttish girl dog.

You are going to have some mutts howling after your tail bro. Thought Emmett. I cringed at the onslaught of thoughts.

You make a cute dog Edward, even if I do say so myself. Alice was always proud of her handiwork.

I was busy trying to tune all thins out when Jasper burst. He spewed laughter and with his outburst came others from the car. He would pay. I glared at him and he didn't even try to stop laughing.

He's such a grumpy puppy. he thought. He would not get away with that.

"I am not a grumpy puppy." I replied to his unspoken jest. This may not have been the best idea as a new round of taunts came from my siblings. For once, I was glad I couldn't read Bella's mind.

Grumpy puppy! Grumpy puppy! Grumpy puppy! Grumpy puppy! Grumpy puppy! Came the chants from the back seats. I pulled the car to a halt in front of the house and turned on Jasper. I would have my revenge.

"Jasper, truth or dare." I said as I pictured the humiliation I could inflict. I knew I was being cruel, but laughter has a way of biting back, especially from a vampire.

"Em…dare?" I can't be seen backing down from such a challenge to my manhood. He would regret that decision.

"I dare you to…" I paused to think as we walked into the house. Then it hit me. Not the force of inspiration, but that of another's thought. I wonder if Edward will make him eat something… that could be fun…

"I dare you to eat the entire contents of our fridge." his face went slack. Esme had recently stocked the fridge with a variety of props; it was full.

"Ew! Ha ha! Good luck!" Alice giggled as she pushed him towards his fate.

Sometimes, I wish my wife didn't like playing games so much. But then again, some games are fun…Jasper's thoughts ventured places I didn't want to explore. I ran to my room to escape the onslaught of images and to change into something more suitable.

I returned to find the crowd in the kitchen, egging a very frightened Jasper on.

I can't believe I am about to do this. he cringed as he opened the door of the fridge. My sweet Bella was holding her sides as she looked at his face. I wrapped my arms around her and smiled as Jasper faced his dare.

Jasper POV

The eggs slid down my throat like balls of slime. I gagged. This was not going to be easy. I turned to Edward and he simply nodded. I resumed my post at the fridge and chose my next snack. I drank the milk as quickly as possible, spluttering when it hit my stomach. I heard laughter from my family and tried to ignore them, unsuccessfully. Next was the cheese, followed by tomatoes, which I chose in the vain hope that their juice might taste OK. The seeds scratched at my throat as they rattled towards my gullet. Finally I spotted something partially appetising; meat. I ate it raw in the hope that I would find some blood in it. I did, but it was cold and tasteless. I shuddered as it slid into my stomach as well. Just a few more foods to go. I braced myself for the next. I took out a foil block and opened it to find a yellow brick of food. It looked disgusting. I opened it like a candy bar and began munching in down. I was rather full at this stage and I had to force this food down.

"Yuck! That's disgusting!" wailed Bella. Finally, some support! I turned to her to see her burry her face in my tormentor's chest.

"What's wrong? It's just food. You didn't mind much before." he soothed.

"But, he's eating butter! A whole pound of it!" she shuddered and a wave of nausea hit me. I dropped the butter and ran out the door, giving in to the emotion. Everything tasted worse a second time.
