Chapter 4: "The Dare"
Rating: PG
*******TO GO PLEASE*******
At times I ask myself what I ever did to the fates to make them despise me so. Honestly, I work dilligently in school, I consider myself an understanding and reliable friend, I even recycle for goodness sake! But, nonetheless, they keep hurtling these bolts of disrupting chaos in my direction.
Should I send them a fruit basket or something?
I never will quite figure out why or how I went through with that dare. If there was ever one thing in my life that I could go back and change it would be that moment. But alas, I can not. Damn Fate. Damn Destiny. Damn them all.
And while I'm on such a role here, damn Usagi, too!
I guess this is where I should actually describe my horrible "experience."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Usagi-chan, NO. I can't possibly! Are you insane?!" My hands clung to my hair, pulling at it in frustration.
"After what happened tonight, you just expect me to waltz over there and do-do THAT?!" I could already imagine the scene.
"All's fair in Truth or Dare!" They chorused simultaneously, and I threw the covers over my head.
"Come on, Ami-chan! We've all done it before! It's YOUR turn!" Makoto patted the top of my hidden head. I had to bite my tongue to keep from screaming.
"Don't be such a baby, Ames! You're acting like Usagi."
I heard a loud thump and a cry from our firey senshi.
Giggling, Usagi pounced on to my bed to escape the pillow tossed roughly in her direction.
"You guys don't understand!" My voice was muffled beneath the light fabric, and I peeked my head out for fresh air.
"'Course we do, girl! And believe me, we feel for ya."
"Thanks, Minak-"
"HOWEVER, as we said, 'All's fair in Truth or Dare', and you HAVE to play fair, so get your gears in rear and let's move out!"
Normally, I could have corrected her and would have, had the situation...well *not* been the situation.
"Baka, it's get your REARS in GEAR. I swear, you and Usagi must be sharing a brain." Rei exasperatedly feigned annoyance and giggled when Minako and Usagi crossed their arms across their chests and stuck their noses in the air indignantly at the comment.
By that time I was silently willing my nerves to relax and collecting my thoughts. There was no way to get out of it. I was stuck--again.
Reluctantly, I removed myself from the tangle of linens and stood proudly on the cool wooden floor.
"Alright then, let's get this over with."
"Wahoo! Go, Ames! I knew you had it in ya! Hey, Makoto, you got that camera? Minako, you got the chalk?" At their affirmative nods Usagi marched out of the room and into the crisp night.
Rei sighed and Makoto counted down. "Three...Two...One."
"Gahh! It's SOOO cold out there!" Usagi came bounding back through the door and dove under a stack of blankets.
We emerged from the shrine 5 minutes later after putting on jeans, sweaters and jackets.
Mid-walk, I stopped abruptly, causing four disgruntled senshi to collapse like dominos.
"You guys, do we even know where he *lives*?" My spirits soared at the discovery of our short-coming of essential information and turned back in the direction of the temple.
"Too bad! I guess we'll *just* have to go back to th-"
"NOT so fast, Ami-chan. You forget one thing."
I eyed Rei curiously.
"I know all. I see all. I *hear* all." Rei twisted her arms in "mysterious" angles around the top of her head, eyes, and ears and landed in a bowing position in front of me.
At our disbelieving stares, she coughed slightly and reached behind her.
"OK, so maybe I just happen to have the college's student directory handy..." She produced a blue paper-back booklet and shoved it in my face. "His full name is Straus Zachary. He's in my lit. class."
I threw her a glare and snatched the book from her grasp. Her smile was smug as I flipped through the pages to find the S's.
I contemplated telling them he wasn't listed, but quickly realized they wouldn't buy it without checking for themselves.
'260 Broadview Lane'-he lived near the apartment complex Mamoru lived at. Good thing or bad thing? Who knows.
Usagi definitetly considered it a good thing and had to be reminded of the task at hand when she began fantasizing openly of a romantic 'moonlight rendezvous' with Mamoru.
It took nearly fifteen minutes to reach his home and as each second flew by I longed to soar away with them into oblivion. This dare was cruel and unusual punishment.
Usagi could have the darn tape back. She could have anything she wanted if she would just say I didn't have to go through with this.
I eyed her silently to see if she held any semblance of sympathy for me.
She was idly fiddling with a lock of her golden hair and smirked when Rei stumbled over a rock on the sidewalk.
'No luck there.'
Minako and Makoto were laughing about something I didn't hear, and I turned my eyes back to the cement.
'If I just linger back a little from the group, I bet I could slip away and catch a bus back to-'
"Hold it, ladies! We're heeerrrreeee." Usagi announced and sent a smirk towards me.
"Heh heh..." was all I could muster.
"Here ya go." Minako handed me the bag and I grumbled before grabbing it from her hand.
"Could I have a little privacy, please?"
"Oh come on, Ami-chan! It's not like you're gonna run around naked or anything," Rei offered. Minako shivered and cowered back.
"Rei! Don't remind me of our last sleep-over! I still have nightmares!"
I took that opportunity to quietly open the steel gate and slip through.
I set the bag down and said a silent prayer before gently opening it. Usagi said something about red being the most romantic color. Whatever.
Letter by letter I wrote out the words. As each word formed I reminded myself of how incredibly stupid this was, not to mention dangerous for my reputation.
One glance at my friend's expectant faces and I grudgingly completed my art-work on his drive-way.
'I wonder if he's sleeping...it's only midnight. I almost wish Usagi had let me find out what undergarment *he* preferred...What?! Are you insane, Ami?'
I smacked my fore-head and prepared to finish the rest of the dare. I took out the pen from my pocket and scribbled a few words down on a piece of paper. Telling myself that the worst was already over, I trudged over to his front door and placed the folded paper through the door handle.
Letting out a heavy sigh of relief, I turned to the girls and gave them a thumbs up.
But, my enthusiastic thumbs wilted like daisies in a storm when I saw their faces--pure shock written across every contour, mouths hanging ajar.
Knowing what to expect before I even turned around, I dropped my hands to my sides and faced the inevitible once again.
"Um...Ami? What are you doing at my house?"
%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*
Mwahahahhaha! I am SO bad! Another one of those darn cliffies. I hate it for ya! Just so you know, I wrote that chapter off the top of my head so if the ideas suck, I'm sorry! :D
