(A/N) This chapter will contain Truth or Dare/Candor or Dauntless, so there may be a lot of cliché moments. Most, if not all, or these truths/dares were suggestions by my lovely readers on Wattpad. This has not been proofread by anyone, so I apologize for any mistakes. I am also so sorry for the problems that happened the last time I posted Chapter 11. I have no clue what happened. I hope it works better this time.
***Tris's POV***
When we get back to our apartment Tobias immediately picks me up and runs me to our bedroom. I squeal as he spins me around and then throws me onto the bed.
What made you so suddenly happy?" I laugh.
"The fact that I can do this," he says as he flops onto the bed next to me.
"You're a dork."
"Yes, but I'm your dork."
I smile huge. "Yes you are," I say as I kiss him.
We kiss for a few minutes and then I fall into a blissful sleep.
-Next Morning-
"Tris," I hear, "wake up, babe."
I open my eyes. "Did you just call me 'babe'?"
"Maybe. Do you like it?"
"I'm not sure. I'll tell you later."
He smiles that beautiful smile that only I see. "Time for Truth or Dare."
"Please," I respond, "get it right. It's Candor or Dauntless."
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry."
"You better be," I joke as I get up.
Within 20 minutes we're both ready and in the Pit waiting for the initiates to arrive. They file in and by 8:30 we're ready to go.
"Okay, we're going to go to the back room of the tattoo parlor because the Dauntless borns are using both training rooms. Follow me," I instruct.
We make our way to the tattoo parlor, and we all sit in a circle once we arrive. Tobias remains standing next to me and states the rules.
"There aren't many rules, but more like a few twists," he begins.
All of a sudden the doors open and in burst Uriah, Christina, Zeke, and Shauna on her brand-new pair of animatronic legs.
Uriah begins, "I heard there was a game happening."
"I can't believe," Zeke says with mock hurt, "that you didn't invite us."
"It's rather rude," Christina states.
"Just shut up and sit down so we can start," I say while laughing at them.
Uriah sits on the other side of me, and Christina sits on his lap. Zeke sits across the circle from us, and Shauna sits next to him. Zeke wraps his arm around her and pulls her closer to him. Aw.
"As I was saying," Tobias starts again, "the twists. First, if you choose not to do a truth or dare, you must take off one article of clothing that is not a shoe or sock. If you choose not to do that, you must walk around in the Hat of Shame for a week."
"What's the Hat of Shame?" Ed asks warily.
"Good question," I respond. "The Hat of Shame is a foot tall hat decorated with rainbows, glitter, and unicorns. Everyone seen in the Hat is laughed at and mocked by all of Dauntless during the time they wear it."
Everyone's eyes widen to the size of basketballs. Basketballs are these toys that children used to play before the factions were created. I wonder what it's like to play with one.
"What's a unicorn?" Taylor innocently questions.
Uriah gasps. "Didn't you pay attention in Classic Literature Class back at school?! They're horses with a horn on their head! They're magical!"
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of," Brendon scoffs.
"Would you like to wear the Hat?" Tobias teases.
"Pfft. No."
"Good, then shut up. Now, let's begin."
Tobias sits and all eyes look toward him anxiously.
"Uriah," Tobias says with a glint of humor in his eyes. "Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless!" Uri yells. "I ain't no pansycake!" (YES I KNOW DOUBLE NEGATIVE! It hurts me, but it feels right for Uriah.)
"I dare you to do the Fluffy Bunny Challenge."
"The what?"
"Fluffy Bunny Challenge. You have to go to the kitchen and get marshmallows. You put one in your mouth and say, 'Fluffy bunny.' You keep doing that until you can't do that anymore."
"AWESOME! Babe, get off of me."
Christina frowns and gets up. Uriah runs to the kitchen, and two minutes later he returns with a bag of the mini marshmallows.
He pops one in his mouth. "Fluffy bunny," he says perfectly. Everything sounds great until he gets to about seven marshmallows. At ten he sounds like "Fruffy runny." By twenty he isn't even recognizable. He makes it to twenty-five. Holy crap he has a big mouth.
It takes him five minutes to eat all of the marshmallows, but then he sits down and looks at Taylor. "Candor or Dauntless?"
"Candor," she says timidly.
Uriah looks annoyed. He's probably thinking about what a pansycake she is, but hey, she's new. Give her a break. "Okay," he says, "I got it. If you could date anyone in this room, who would it be?"
Taylor's face turns bright red and her eyes widen to the size of saucers. She whispers something inaudible.
"Speak up, initiate," Tobias says.
"Ed," she says, louder this time.
All eyes dash to Ed as his face turns more red than his hair. "Um…thanks?" he says awkwardly.
Taylor buries her face in her hands and mumbles out, "Jenna, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless," Jenna proudly states.
"I dare you to run around with a pillow up your shirt yelling, "THE BABY IS COMING!" Then when someone offers to help, you have to slap them."
Jenna's eyes twinkle with excitement. "Someone get me a pillow."
"I'm on it!" Zeke yells as he jumps up and runs out. You can always count on Uriah and Zeke to get items for this. He returns two minutes later and tosses Jenna the pillow. He's also holding a video camera. Genius.
Jenna shoves the pillow up her shirt and arranges it so it doesn't look completely fake. Then she grabs her water bottle and dumps it on her pants in the crotch area. Wow. She's getting really into this. She takes a deep breaths and begins to scream and pant. She runs/waddles out to people and screams about the baby coming. "MY BABY IS COMING. SOMEONE HELP ME. OH GOD SOMEONE HELP ME IT HURTS. JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE HELP ME NOW!" Zeke follows from a distance with the camera. The rest of us follow with him.
Unfortunately for Jenna, the first person to offer her help is Peter. This should be interesting. It looks like he doesn't recognize her as an initiate. That's good.
"Are you okay!?" He frantically asks.
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M OKAY!?"
This is it. The moment of truth. The Slap.
It's so loud I can hear is from a good 10 feet away. Peter stares at her with pure shock for a moment. The it quickly turns to rage.
"YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT!" Oh no. He recognizes her. "YOU'RE A TRANSFER!"
Time for me to step in. I run over. "Peter," I soothingly say, "relax. It's just a dare. She had to or else it was strip or The Hat."
"Why was I not invited to play?"
"Because you tend to be a jerk."
He frowns. "I am not a jerk."
My friends and I laugh. "You keep telling yourself that," Shauna says.
Peter frowns even more. "I want to play."
"Fine," Tobias says, clearly annoyed. "Let's go back and play."
We all go back to the tattoo parlor with Peter. Things may get very ugly very fast with him playing.
(A/N) Reminder: I came up with none of these truths/dares. At the end of all the chapters involving Candor or Dauntless I will give a giant thank you and acknowledgement to anyone who provided a truth/dare that I used. What do you guys think about The Hat of Shame? I tried to make it a little less cliché. I hope to update soon, but I dunno. Thanks for reading!
