(Thank you muchly to AmarieC for this dare idea!! Very cute and fun to write…
And-My apologies to everyone for this story being so late. I have gotten so caught up in everything…I'm determined to finish this out in a prompt manner, though, so rest in peace, my few readers.
I need more truth and dare ideas, also! Please please give me some ideas! Thank you!! Now, on with the chapter. )
"Double-D, look over there!!!" Ed shouts frantically, pointing over his friend's shoulder to the far wall.
Double-D frowns, turning to look.
"What is it, Ed? I had a good question…" He mutters, not seeing that the boy is switching the bottle around. Ed, his tongue out of his mouth slightly with concentration, moves the bottle with a careful finger to point to himself instead of Hannah.
The girl watches, looking up at the Ed and giving him a wink and a small nod, a twinkle in her eye.
Double-D looks back, tapping his fingertips together. "I can't think what you must have seen, Ed. Well, let's see…Ed? Truth or Dare?" He asks, smiling.
Ed claps his hands together, grinning wildly. "DARE ME, DOUBLE-D!!!"
The boy pales. "Oh dear…I hadn't thought of a dare. Let's see…" He looks around the room for inspiration, his eyes lingering on the windowpane after a moment, listening to the rain. "I dare you, Ed, to go dance in the rain for a full 60 seconds!" He says brightly, looking back to the group.
Hannah laughs, clapping her hands. "Great dare, Double-D!" She chirps at the exact same time that Eddy moans- "Stupid dare, Double-D."
Hannah frowns at Eddy, then looks to Double-D her expression brightening. "Care to make that a double dare, Double-D?"
The aforementioned boy smiles, nodding eagerly as he speaks. "Of course, Hannah. You can do it with his, if you so desire. Eddy, please go get these two some towels."
Eddy lets go his trademark sigh as he stands up, sulking into his bathroom.
The
other 3 friends stand, Hannah and Ed excitedly frolicking to the
door. They wait on either side of it, giggling as Double-D walks to
stand in front of them, hands behind his back and a professional look
on his face. "Lady and Gentleman, your task is not an easy one."
he begins, smiling slightly. "You two must venture out into the wet
and cold outdoors, and dance.
Are you willing to accept the task?"
"SIR, YES SIR!" Ed and
Hannah shout, both executing a polished military boot click and
salute.
Double-D nods his head once, smiling at the two. "Good luck, friends. Warm towels will be waiting for you when you return."
Hannah and Ed both turn and face the door, opening it and marching out into the rain.
As soon as they exit, Double-D runs to the window and rubs the fog off of it with his palm, looking out the dripping window at the pair outside. Fishing a stopwatch out of his pocket next, he holds his hand up, counting to three with his fingers so Ed and Hannah can see, and, as he gets to three, they begin to dance. Hannah giggles loudly as she simply wiggles side to side, her glasses sliding down to the end of her nose because of the moisture on her face. Ed prances in circles around her, grinning at his friend.
Double-D watches his stopwatch, and then looks up. "They look good, don't you think, Eddy?"
"Whatever." Groans the bored boy, now lying on his bed and reading a magazine.
"Oh come now, Eddy. Don't be stubborn just because Hannah is better at this game than you claim to be. Besides- wouldn't you like to see Hannah and Ed ballroom dance across your lawn?" Double-D says in response, giggling as he watches the two tango across the grass.
Suddenly, the sky decides to show how loud it can actually get, and lets loose a huge crack of thunder right above the cul-de-sac. The girl yelps, startled, and leaps straight into Ed's soaking wet arms (Scooby-Doo style), the boy catching her easily just as their 60 seconds run out. Double-D laughs, beckoning for them to come back inside as he clicks the stopwatch. Grinning, the tall boy runs to the door with Hannah still in his arms. Bouncing into the room, Ed proceeds to set his female friend down gently, then fall to his hands and knees and shake himself like a dog and spraying all the kids in the room. "Ew! Yuck! Stop it, Ed!" The other three yelp, recoiling with their hands shielding their faces.
Hannah, feeling a bit silly with her hair dripping on her shoulders and making small dots on the pink carpet, giggles, almost shrieking. "Ed! Bad dog! Heel, boy!"
Ed immediately stops, sitting up and letting his blue tongue loll out of his mouth. He cups his hands by his chest like paws, wiggling his 'tail' happily.
Eddy, fuming, throws the towels at his friends, Ed's hitting his chest, and Hannah's falling over her head. "Shut up and let's keep playing, already. I'm bored to tears."
Hannah and Ed obediently sit done alongside the bottle, Hannah rubbing her hair with the towel and Ed simply holding his and continuing to drip on the carpet. Double-D follows them, sitting down gingerly after making sure the carpet isn't wet. "Well, let's continue. Ed, your turn!"
Ed giggles brightly, reaching out and hitting the bottle with a sound WHAP! noise.
The bottle begins to spin, so quickly that it's hard to see it.
Eddy, seeing what happened, groans as Hannah pulls her towel off of her head. Peeking at the bottle, she ignores her puffed-out and tangly hair enough to ask "Ed…did you have to hit it so hard?"
"Yes." Comes the answer, with no hesitation.
"Oh. Well then…" The girls sighs, going back to drying her hair.
