Ch3: Never Have I Ever

"Never have I ever? That sounds a bit high school?" Nick joked, as everyone adjusted themselves to hear Mandy waiting for her to explain the rules.

"It is. It is also a drinking game." Mandy said smiling at him. "Everyone put your hands up like this. You have ten chances… I guess you could call them. How you play is, we will go around and say never have I ever done blah something that person has never done and if you've done whatever it is you put a finger down. Last one wins. No lying and no cheating."

"I think I would like it better with alcohol." Archie chuckled, Nick nodded.

"Who wants to go first?" Mandy asked, no one spoke. "I'll go first… Never have I ever fallen asleep in a movie theater." Wendy rolled her eyes at Mandy's lame never have I ever. Nick chuckled as he put a finger down.

"Never have I ever… passed out from drinking too much." Wendy said all the guys looked on in disbelief as they all except for Mandy and Henry put a finger down.

"Really?" Nick asked still in disbelief.

"We are ladies. We know our limit." Mandy joked back and Nick looked at Henry.

"I don't drink." Henry said. "Never have I ever… gone skinny dipping." Henry said, everyone put a finger down. Nick released a sigh he was down to seven already.

"Never have I ever slept on the job." Archie said, Nick released another sigh putting a finger as did Hodges.

"Nick, you suck at this game." Wendy joked, Nick laughed.

"Never have I ever been engaged." Hodges said, Mandy and Archie put a finger down.

"I am engaged." Archie joked. Nick looked puzzled at Mandy.

"Are you engaged?" Nick asked.

"No but I was, I'm single now." Mandy announced picking at her pants slightly embarrassed.

"Good." Nick said and everyone looked at him. "No, I didn't mean it like that." Nick chuckled nervously. "Whose turn is it?" Nick asked wanting to get the attention off of him.

"It's yours." Mandy said smiling at Nick.

"Umm… never have I ever… peed my pants in public." Nick said, both the girls and Henry put a finger down.

"Never have I ever… hooked up with someone in a car." Mandy said, Nick opened his eyes wide.

"The game gets dirtier as we go. This is what we do on a slow day." Wendy said giving Nick a reality check as he hesitantly put a finger down as did Archie. "Never have I ever brought a stranger home." Nick and Hodges put a finger down.

"You guys are doing wonders to my self esteem." Nick pouted with only four fingers up. While everyone else had fingers on both hands.

"Never have I ever fooled around with someone at the workplace." Henry said, Mandy, Wendy, and Hodges all put a finger down.

"What do you guys do at the lab?" Nick asked.

"It was at my prior workplace." Mandy defended as Wendy and Hodges blushed.

"Never have I ever cheated on my significant other." Archie said proud. Wendy put a finger down. The mood in the elevator shifted a little.

"Never have I ever had sex with two different people in the same day." Hodges said, this time Nick, Henry, and Wendy both put a finger down.

"Go Henry!" Nick said holding his lonely three fingers up, making the young man blush. "Umm.. Let's see… never have I ever called out the wrong name." Nick said trying to come up with anything. He was definitely out of his comfort zone with the lab rats. Seeing Mandy, Wendy, Hodges and Henry all put a finger down. Nick couldn't help but chuckle.

"Never have I ever flashed anyone." Mandy said, no one put a finger down.

"Never have I ever been walk in on." Wendy said, Henry and Hodges both put a finger down.

"Never have I ever… kissed someone of the same sex." Henry said, Mandy and Wendy both but a finger down. Nick swallowed hard at the thought, trying to keep his mind out of the gutter.

"Never have I ever been the other person." Archie said. Wendy, Nick and Henry all put a finger down.

"Home wrecker." Mandy joked.

"At the time I didn't know. I found out after we broke up that… she was… married." Nick grimaced on the awful trip down memory lane, everyone went wide eyed.

"Never have I ever… bitten someone or been bitten in the bedroom." Hodges said. Archie, Henry, and Mandy all put their finger down.

"Never have I ever… hooked up with someone in an elevator." Nick said, he was running out of ideas and couldn't keep his mind focused. No one put their finger down but everyone looked at him and Mandy as a pair.

"Never have I ever hooked up on the first date." Mandy said. Wendy, Nick, and Archie put one down.

"You guys' make me feel like a slut." Nick joked, Mandy laughed at him.

"Never have I ever… had a fantasy about a coworker at work." Wendy said, everyone put a finger down.

"I'm out…" Nick said slightly embarrassed.

"Way to go." Mandy joked at Nick as he blushed terribly.

"Now what do I do?" Nick asked.

"Sit there and look pretty." Wendy teased.

"Hmm… never have I ever had a crush on a friend's parent." Henry said, everyone except for Archie put a finger down. Wendy was now out, and Mandy had one left, Hodges had two left, and Archie and Henry were tied at three.

"Never have I ever been friend-zoned." Archie said, everyone put a finger down.

"How can you be friend-zoned you're a girl?" Nick asked Mandy confused.

"Believe me it happens." Mandy says with a hint of disappointment in her voice. The only man to have ever friend-zoned her was the one asking her about it right now.

"That sucks." Nick said looking away picking at his boots, wiping a bead of sweat off his forehead.

"Never have I ever gone after someone else's girlfriend." Hodges said, neither man put a finger down. Hodges' stare turned a little more intense as he stared at Henry.

"Never have I ever kidnapped a coworker." Henry pouted, Hodges put a finger down.

"Now c'mon Henry. That was a great birthday." Nick defended.

"Wait, you guys' kidnapped him." Mandy asked.

"I wouldn't say kidnapped… more like a surprise party in motion." Nick said smiling. "C'mon that lady really liked you."

"She had syphilis." Henry cried, Nick couldn't hold back the laughter anymore and laughed so hard his stomach became sore. Mandy smiled at Nick happy to see him enjoying a good laugh.

"Never have I ever been kidnapped by a coworker." Archie said, Henry looked less than enthused at Archie and put a finger down.

"Very clever. Never have I ever had to do the mad scramble to find my clothes." Henry said , Archie just smiled at him.

"Neither have I. never have I ever done anything dangerous to impress a girl." Archie said, Henry glared at him.

"You win this time." Henry said putting his hand down.

"What did you do?" Nick asked, curious to what Henry's definition of dangerous was.

"I went bungee jumping on a date." Henry said.

"Wow," Nick said, he was learning more about the lab rats then he ever expected and kind of wanted. "You're a wild man, Henry." Nick said leaning back to closing his eyes trying to get comfortable.

After a couple of other great games everyone went back to playing on their phones, while Nick tried to sleep but his bulky vest and sweaty shirt were making him uncomfortable. Nick stood up and Mandy moved his hat so that he didn't sit back on it. Nick took off his vest.

"Can you hold this for me?" Nick asked Mandy seeing that she already had his hat.

"Sure." Mandy said staring at Nick. His shirt clung to his body, it's like his body was a magnet for her eyes. Mandy looked away for a brief moment to see Wendy staring at him as well and Mandy turned to stare as well, or to watch rather. Nick untucks his shirt, debating whether or not to take it off, but decides to just unbutton a few more buttons.

"Thank you." Nick said taking his hat and vest back.

"Nick, you have… umm… a little…" Mandy said pointing to his chest. Nick looked down to see his band aid that he had, covering the only part of his gunshot wound that hadn't really scarred over, coming over. The fact that it was still a little bloody is why it caught Mandy's eye.

"Oh sorry." Nick said taking the band aid off and searching his vest for another one. The mood in the elevator shifted again because now everyone could see the wound in its entirety. It had a just started to scar but was mainly still scab. Nick became nervous as he could feel nervous with everyone staring at him.

"Here I think this will be big enough." Mandy said taking the biggest band aid from her little first kit out of her purse.

"Thank you." Nick said as Mandy start putting the Scooby doo band aid on his chest.

Please Review! Nick gets to experience the real lab rat madness in the next chapter. What do you think?

If you remember during the episode Pool Shark, Wendy announces she is leaving the lab to pursue her dreams of being a field mouse and doesnt tell Hodges until she leaves however she had been talking to Henry about it all along. Hodges feels that Henry pushed Wendy away and they kind of 'fight' when they are in the pool.
