Chapter Five



Trish paused for a moment while looking at everybody.

"What? You didn't think I was actually going to do it, did you?"

Everybody looked at each other and shook their heads in mutual consent. It was true; nobody had expected her to take the dare. Trish pulled her shirt back over her head and looked around.

"Hmmm...who should I pick?"

"Wait," Shannon said. "You still have to take a different dare then, don't you?"

Trish turned toward Jay. "You got anything?"

Jay simply shook his head no.

"Okay then," Trish said. "Amy, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

Trish couldn't really think of anything she wanted to know from Amy. But, then, she did remember something she wanted to know.

"Who kissed me and in what order?" Trish asked.

Amy shrugged, Adam blushed, and Shannon complained. "You can't do that!"

"Yes I can."

"Fine."

"It's fine with me, too," Amy put in, grateful to get off with an incredibly easy truth. "Jay kissed you first, Paul kissed you second, and Adam kissed you last. Now, Jeff, truth or dare?"

"Dare," Jeff said, determined to show her up.

A devious, almost conniving smirk spread across Amy's face. Jeff regretted his decision...again.

"I dare you to give Matt a lap dance."

"Uhh, how about NO." It wasn't Jeff that said this, it was Matt.

"I was expecting you to protest," Amy said. "So came up with a plan. Here's the deal, if you don't let Jeff carry out the dare, I'm going to show everyone the picture where you're,"

"OKAY!" Matt cut in WAY too quickly. "It's fine with me," he said, forcing a smile. Unfortunately, knowing Amy, she probably had the picture with her. The Hardy boys seemed to have a tendency to be caught doing really stupid stuff on camera, and that wasn't the only similarity...

"Good," Amy said. "Now there's nothing stopping you," she said to Jeff. "Go ahead, do your dare." Jeff stared at her with a blank expression on his face, still in disbelief. "NOW."

"Yes ma'am," Jeff said, causing many people to snicker. Amy looked at him with a very un-amused expression.

Jeff walked toward Matt...slowly. This just wasn't right! Matt was his brother...it just wasn't right.

"Oh well" was the last thought that went through Jeff's mind as he reached Matt.

"Nothing...uh...personal, right?" Jeff asked, making it perfectly clear that this was NOT his idea of a dandy time.

"Sure," Matt said. "Can you just do it so it can be over?"

Jeff nodded his head, and with one last angry look at Amy, proceeded to give his older sibling a lap dance, purposely making it a good one so Amy wouldn't be able to say he 'didn't do it properly'.

The entire room was practically in absolute hysteria as Jeff continued; Amy was even crying a little. This was priceless. If only somebody had a camera... Unknown to everyone else, Amy did have a camera, and once she got over her first laughing/crying fit, she pulled it out of her bag and began snapping away. Jeff immediately jumped off of Matt and lunged at Amy.

"You WILL give me that camera," he said to her.

"No I won't," she said teasing. She quickly passed it to Trish who stuffed it into her bag.

"Give it to me," Jeff said to Trish. "Seriously, give it to me."

Trish just looked at him incredulously. Like she would give it up that easily. It wasn't like her would hurt her.

Everyone else in the room was thinking something along the same lines. "Besides," Adam thought. "If he tries to hurt her, he will have to come through ME."

"Your turn," Stacy pointed out tentatively.

"Fine, Chris, truth or dare?"

"Dare," he replied.

"I don't know. Tell you what, I'll do you a favor, take Stephanie into that back room over there. Do whatever the hell you want. Just, pretend you're on an island or something."

Stephanie's mouth fell open, along with half of the room's, most of them recalling Stephanie's answer to a previous question of the game. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't Chris who led Stephanie into the back room Jeff was referring to. Instead, Stephanie pulled him into it, with quite an interesting expression on her face.

"Wow," everyone said simultaneously.

"I guess we have to wait until Chris gets back until we can continue our game," Jay said.

"Yeah, especially if they pretend they're on an island..." Jeff said with a smirk.

"So, this could take a while then," Stacy said.

"If Jeff's predictions are true, five minutes," Paul said.

"Paul, that was mean," Stacy said.

"What are you...yeah, it was, wasn't it?"

Everyone looked at him, not needing to express the answer to that question with words. He just shrugged. He didn't mean to be rude to her, but something about her brought out that side of him.

"For all we know, they could just be talking," Shannon said.

"Who knows what they're doing."

"It'd be interesting to see..."

"Yeah...hey Amy, you wouldn't just so happen to have some sort of hidden camera in that room would ya?" Matt asked, knowing his girlfriend's annoying tendency to always have a camera, especially when you were doing something you wouldn't want on camera.

"Nope, sorry."

"Darn."
