I'm back with another Milolissa short! This one was provoked by Nickelodeon bringing back one of my childhood favorite shows - DOUBLE DARE! This is what I think would happen if 'Double Dare' existed in the shared universe of Danville and Milo and Melissa decided to try out for it. ROLL IT!

It was a bright, late March day at Danville High. Milo was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his beautiful, ginger girlfriend - Melissa Chase. What he didn't expect was for Melissa to run over him.

"Melissa, I love you, but next time try not to run me over like that, okay?" Milo reprimanded his girlfriend.

Melissa giggled. "I couldn't help it, Milo...considering what I just read!"

"What is it, 'Liss?" Milo asked.

"You know that game show 'Double Dare'?"

"The messiest game show ever to hit television? Who wouldn't know it?"

"Well...IT'S COMING BACK!" Melissa cheered.

"NO WAY!"

"You better believe it!" the ginger retorted. "And they're holding tryouts at the Googolplex Mall on Saturday!"

Milo smiled "We are totally trying out for the new Double Dare, Melissa!"

"Yeah, we are! Think about it - you and me running through that famous obstacle course...you grabbing that final flag, kissing me at the end as we celebrate winning the grand prize..."

Milo squealed "Our childhood dream of being on Double Dare is coming true!"

"Now just remember, Milo - 10 AM Saturday at Googolplex Mall!"

"I won't forget, Melissa!"

Zack and Amanda came in soon afterwards.

"What's all the ruckus, you two?" Zack asked.

"You and Melissa were screaming at a frequency only dogs could hear, Milo," Amanda added.

"DOUBLE DARE IS COMING BACK!" Milo and Melissa said in unison.

"And Melissa and I are gonna try out for the new Double Dare!" Milo finished.

"When's the tryout?" Zack asked.

"10 AM Saturday at Googolplex Mall!" Melissa confirmed.

"We are so there!" Amanda cheered.

That Saturday, the quartet got up early - 8 AM. They had to be early risers in order to get a prime spot for the tryouts. All 4 of them were adorned in Double Dare gear dating back to 1986 in the hopes that they get picked first. By the time the tryouts began, the line had stretched to the main entrance. The first game of the day would indeed feature Milo and Melissa and who better to host than the original Master of Mess, the King of Double Dare himself - MARC SUMMERS! On the other side of this match as the Blue Team were Bradley and Mort. Zack had the honor of being the announcer, as his and Amanda's game wasn't to take place until later on.

Then, original Double Dare host Marc Summers began the day with the six words everyone was waiting for...

"ON YOUR MARK...GET SET...GO!"

"These two teams are playing basketball as they try to collect enough honey to fill their hives! The first team to fill their bucket with enough honey wins 50 points and control of the game where there's no need to jump through hoops...DOUBLE DARE!"

Milo and Melissa won the toss-up challenge handily and in the first round, they were on fire! They got up to 300 points before the first Physical Challenge. The first Physical Challenge was to turn Milo into a human breakfast by tossing 3 raisins into a giant bowl, then dropping a big box of cereal on him. Then to top it all off, a huge carton of Double Dare milk would fall on Milo to complete the challenge. Oh, and Milo and Melissa had to do it all in 30 seconds - which they did, bringing their score to 500. They would get their score to 600 before the end of the round. Round 2 was when Bradley and Mort tried to pull a comeback. Sure, Milo and Melissa won the toss-up 'Human Jelly Roll' challenge, but an ill-advised Dare gave control to Bradley and Mort, which allowed them to run their score up to 400 before being drawn into a Physical Challenge.

This Physical Challenge had Mort and Bradley make Double Dare Thanksgiving dinner. Mort had to catch 3 stuffing balls (that were launched by Bradley) in a turkey without crossing the center line. Then, Mort and Bradley had to get themselves covered in gravy gak, all within 30 seconds. They started slow, but got 2 in by the 10 second mark. However, by the time the 3rd ball got in, it was too late for Bradley and Mort. The 200 points went the way of Milo and Melissa, putting the game out of reach. Milo and Melissa would win 1200-600, locking up an appearance on an episode of 'Double Dare'. Of course, they had to run through the famous Obstacle Course! Here was their layout:

1. One-Ton Human Hamster Wheel

2. Gak Vat

3. Pick It!

4. Soda Jerk

5. Lake Double Dare

6. Gator Alley

7. Blue Plate Special (Peanut Butter and Jelly)

8. Mount St. Double Dare

Milo and Melissa did get up to the final obstacle, but before they could start the climb up Mount St. Double Dare, the clock ran out on them. After lunch came Zack and Amanda's game against Chelsea and Lydia. This game would be much closer, ending in a 800-700 final score. Here was Zack and Amanda's course layout:

1. Gum Drop

2. Garbage Truck

3. Blue Plate Special (Pepperoni Pizza)

4. In One Ear

5. Icy Trike

6. Das Blimp

7. Doggie Door

8. Down The Hatch

On this layout, Zack and Amanda would triumph, claiming the final flag with but one second to spare. After their game, Zack and Amanda ran up to Milo and Melissa to celebrate.

"THIS IS INCREDIBLE!" Zack screamed.

"WE'RE ALL GONNA BE ON DOUBLE DARE!" Amanda added.

"GET READY TO GET SLIMED, YOU GUYS!" Melissa shouted.

"WE'RE GONNA ROCK DOUBLE DARE TO ITS CORE!" Milo finished.

Chants of 'Double Dare! Double Dare!' soon emanated from the quartet as they headed for an early celebratory dinner. Now the only question remains is...how will they prepare for the real deal?

Double Dare is back and it's zanier than ever! I may just make another short about the quartet's experience on the messiest game show ever devised, but that's something for another time. Remember...

IT'S MILO'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL LIVING IN IT!
