Chapter 4: Truth or Dare:

"Ok. I'll so first! Vanessa. Truth or Dare?" Ashley asked.

"Uh truth." I said.

"Ok. Um when was the time you were most scared in your whole entire life?" Ashley asked. Ok, that's an odd question.

"Uh, let me think." I said but I had to think for a little. "Oh, yeah a few years ago, Stella and one of her friends ran away from my grandma's house when we were staying there. We got in a huge fight, and she was so mad, so her and her friend Jenny ran away to a near by town. They ended up staying at my grandma's friends house. They apparently had told her that they were supposed to stay there while my grandparents were gone. And then the next day my grandma called their house to see if they had seen the girls, and then when they said they were there. They got in so much trouble. But I had never been so scared in my entire life. I mean what if something happened to her?"

"Wow. What was the fight about?" Zac asked.

"Well it was fight over who gets the good bed room at my grandparents. Cause they have a really awesome bed room." I explained. "And I guess she just went over to top and ran away."

"Wow." They all said.

"So Vanessa it's your turn." Ashley said.

"Ok. Lucas. Truth or Dare?" I asked him.

"Dare." Lucas said.

"Ok. I dare you to...go up to the lady at the front desk and ask her out on a date!" I explained laughing. Then everyone started laughing too.

"What!" Lucas yelled. "NO way!"

"Why? Are you just too chicken?" Then I started making the clucking noise and everyone joined in.

"OK I'll do it!" Lucas yelled, so we all went down stairs to the front desk.

"Um. Hello." Lucas said to the lady named Jennifer.

"Hi. Can I help you?" Jennifer asked.

"Um yes. I was wondering..." Lucas studdered.

"What?" Jennifer asked.

"If you would go on a date with me." Lucas rushed through saying. "Will you?"

"I beg your pardon?" Jennifer asked.

"Ok. I'll take that as a no. Bye." Lucas said and we ran back up to the room laughing. Then we finished our game of truth or dare.

"Ok. So what now?" Zac asked. Then there was a very loud crack of thunder and a flash of lightning.

"I hate thunderstorms!" Me and Ashley both said.

"Don't worry. We're fine." Zac said trying to comfort me. "Why don't you tell them about the time you and Stella were caught in that storm?"

"Ok. Well one time I was babysitting Stella at my grandparents house. And a storm came along. A very bad storm. Then it turned into a tornado. And when we were outside running to the storm cellar, it tore right through the house, and it was practically chasing us. And then when we got in the cellar, it tore the door of that we have to go through to get in there. And then Zac I didn't tell you this, but it almost took Stella." I explained.

"Wow. The tornado almost sucked Stella into it?" Zac asked.

"Yeah. But it didn't. Thank god. And so me and Stella have been afraid of storms ever since." I explained.

"Wow." Ashley said.

"Why are you afraid of storms Ash?" Chris asked.

"Because...Well I've never told anyone this but it took my best friend." Ashley explained. "One time there was a tornado in our area, and when it went over us, my friend got sucked in. And we lost her."

"Whoa. I'm sorry Ash." I said.

"It's alright. We've done good on getting over it all these years." Ashley explained. "So that's why I'm afraid of storms."

"Oh. Well at least I'm not alone." I said.

"Yeah." Ashley said smiling.

"Well what now?" Monique asked.

"I don't know. Do you guys wanna go swimming?" I asked.

"Sure." Ashley said.

"Sure." Everyone agreed. Down at the pool.

"Ok. Let's play chicken." Zac suggested. I seem to play chicken everytime I go in the pool.

"Ok. I'll get on your shoulders, Zac." I said.

"OK." Zac said. Then Monique got on Corbin's, Ashley got on Chris's and Lucas was the reff. Me and Zac went against Monique and Corbin. We won!

"Whoa! In your face!" I yelled. Then we went against Ashley and Chris. And we won again! "Whoa!"

"That's 2 points for Zac and Vanessa, and 0 for the rest of you." Lucas explained as I got down from Zac's shoulders. Then Monique and Corbin went against Ashley and Chris. Ashley and Chris won. Then they went against them again, and Monique and Corbin won.

"Ok. Zac and Vanessa 2! Ashley and Chris 1! And Monique and Corbin 1!" Lucas explained. Then we did a whole bunch of other compititions. Then me, Ashley, and Monique went into the hot tub.

"Look you guys I'm sorry for blowing you off for Corbin. I guess I just was so excited to see him again, I forgot about you guys." Monique explained. "I'm really sorry."

"Oh I forgive you. I understand how you feel. I mean I was so excited to see Troy again too." I explained.

"And I couldn't wait to see Chris. I forgive you." Ashley said.

"Thanks guys." Monique said. Then we hugged. "So how's Stella?"

"She's good. She almost drowned in a pool the day before I left though." I explained.

"What? She almost drowned? How?" Monique asked.

"She slipped into the deep end where she couldn't swim." I explained. "But she's fine."

"Whoa. But good." Monique said.

"Yeah, well besides that, she's fine. At least I think. I guess she's a little sad about my mom being in the hospital." I said.

"Yeah. I would be too." Ashley said. Then everyone else got in the hot tub. The capcity was 5 but there was 7 of us in there. So what?

"Why is everyone coming in here?" I asked.

"Because." Zac said.

"I see." I said laughing a little. Then the thunder roared really loud. And a big flash of lighting...well flashed. Then 2 hours later were back in our rooms.

"So I can't wait for the dance next week! It's gonna be awesome!" Ashley said.

"I know right!" Monique said.

"Hey Monique. Have you found a dress yet?" I asked.

"Yep. Wanna see it?" Monique asked.

"Do I?" I said. Then she showed us it. It was black with frilly things everywhere. It was cute.

"Wow. That's beutiful." Ashley said.

"Yeah." I said.

"I know right." Monique said.

"Are you going with Corbin?" I asked.

"Yeah. He asked me, and I well...I said yes." Monique said.

"Sweet." Ashley said.

"I know right." Monique said again. Why does she always say that? Then all of a sudded we heard a knock at the door.

"Hey Zac! Corbin." Ashley said.

"You guys we heard from Kenny who heard from the lady at the front desk, who heard from the radio, that there's a tornado coming straight for us!" Zac explained.

"What? I hate tornados!" I yelled.

"Yeah!" Ashley said.

"Well I know I haven't had any bad experiences with them, but I hate them too." Monique added.

"Well there's one heading straight for east Salt Lake City." Zac said.

"And that's us." Corbin said.

"Well what are we gonna do? I mean were on the top floor." Ashley said.

"Kenny told us to go down to the basement. Everyone else is going down there too." Zac said.

"Ok." We said. Then we all went down stairs.
