My Thanx- I'll just thank all the people who reviewed the first chapter, (and apologies for taking so long to add on.) and, of course, my friends Mandy, Claire and Nat.

A/N- well here it is the fist dare, this could become a series of embarrassing events if I get enough support from reviewers. And ideas are good too. Well hope you enjoy this story anyway! And R&R please!

Jean-Luc's dare.

It was the moment Jean-Luc Picard had been dreading for weeks. It was the day Will had chosen to make him do his dare.

It felt like so long ago since the night he had been dared to do it, so much had changed then. Things for him had been a blissful blur. Thing between him and Beverly had made time fly so beautifully. And the date that had been set came rushing up at him.

He was now faced with something he couldn't bare the thought of. He was going get Will back for this!

Just then the turbo lift doors opened to allow Dr Crusher and Counselor Troi entrance.

'Great!' Jean-Luc thought. 'Of course they wouldn't miss this for anything!'

Both women smiled knowingly as they moved and sat in their respected seats. It had been too easy for them to have reasons to be on the bridge. All officers seated, Will looked over to Jean-Luc and smiled.

He leaned forward and whispered, "Let me know when you want me to start timing." He said soft enough that only the four of them heard. And all them, except Jean-Luc, fought back their giggles at the though of what he had to do next.

Jean-Luc moved uneasily in his chair, he had to do it he knew that. Looking at the three of them quietly laugh at him, he was already get embarrassed and he hadn't even started. He cleared his throat and gave Will a curt nod, indicating to start timing.

It started out a soft low sound, and slowly it grew louder and louder, more passionate as time went on.

The two young ensigns at the helms and opts position at first thought they'd imagined it. I mean it's not everyday that your commanding officer suddenly starts moaning during their bridge shift. They exchanged a side-glance at each other, both still unsure if they were imagining it, but nether game enough to turn fully to look at the commanding chair, to see if that was origin of the noise.

The two women who where in the joke did their best to hide the laughter that was at the tip of their tongues, and tried to look like they were having a professional conversation.

Commander Riker was pretending that the padd in his hand was very interesting and let a mischievous smile work it's way on his face.

"May I ask what is amusing Commander?" asked the very confused Lieutenant Worf. Not being in on the joke and wanting to know what could put such a goofy smile on the Commander's face in the middle of his shift.

"Just the information on this padd, Worf. I'll have to show it to you later, it'll put a smile on even your face." Will promised. He was going to explain to Worf that the unorthodox noises made on the bridge were coming from the Captain. That was something even the good Klingon would find amusing.

The man at the center of the joke was, like Will, pretending to be reading the padd in his hand, but wasn't finding his as amusing as his first officer. And his face was reaching a deep crimson colour, which added to Worf's confusion.

He was keeping the moaning long and loud. And although it had felt like hours for him, really he was only just past half way.

The moaning continued. As it was reached the last minuets Deanna whispered to Beverly loud enough for both Will and Jean-Luc to hear but not the rest of the bridge, "Sound familiar, Bev?"

That was enough for Will he let out a soft laugh, then turned to Worf. "It's very amusing. Trust me."

Beverly blushed, and did her best to remain in control of herself as Will and Deanna continued to make the comments about her experiences with the other noises Jean-Luc could make. They would slip it in every few seconds, both unable to resist the opportunity, but always keeping their voices low enough that no one else heard.

Finally the five minuets came to an end, and Jean-Luc stopped. Regaining his composure her stood up, putting the padd down and looking around the bridge as if inspecting the crew there for the first time. When his eyes came one the still blushing Doctor he cleared his throat again. "Sorry to keep you waiting Doctor, but needed to finish this update. I believe you wanted to go over a report."

"That's alright Captain, I didn't mind waiting." She gave him a sweet smile that made his knees go wobbly. "And I have the report here." She pulled it out of her pocket and held it for him.

Jean-Luc stuck his arm out to gesture that she lead the way to his ready room. "Number One you have the bridge."

"Aye, aye sir." Will chanted after them moving to take his place in the command chair.

As soon the door closed behind them Deanna whispered, "I don't think the report will be getting much attention."

"I think our dear Captain is wanting to see what noises he can get from our beloved CMO." They exchanged an understanding smile. Then Will turned Worf and said to him, "Worf, have I got a story for you when we get off-duty."
