Chapter 18: The other girls' dares
6:30 am. Amy woke first. When she spotted Serena she sighed. Everything was all right. Mina yawned and the other girls stirred.
"Serena is back…"
Serena woke and stretched.
"Did someone say my name…"
She suddenly found four very eager faces making puppy dogfaces, and they all said in unison.
"DETAILS!"
"Err…"
Then an idea sprang into Serena's small innocent head.
"Did you guys do your dares?"
Not knowing what she was getting at they all shook their heads. Serena's brilliant idea almost blinded them.
"Then I won't tell you guys what happened until you guys do your dares!"
They all gawked at her, and then they all flushed at the thought of their dares except Mina and Amy. Amy thanked the gods she hadn't chosen dare and Mina was enjoying the prospect of her dare.
"Your turn first Rei."
Serena sang the words. Rei grumbled and picked up the phone and dialed. Mina whistled.
"You already have his phone number Rei?"
"Shut up!"
A hand reached slowly from a lump within blankets and picked up a ringing phone. The phone disappeared into the blankets and a sleepy voice slurred out.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chad, this is Rei. You're picking me up for a date today in three hours."
There was a click as the person on the other side of the phone hung up. The phone was put back and the lump settled down once more. Then Chad shot up from his bed, wide-eyed.
"What the!"
The girls laughed their heads off at Rei's demand for a date. Rei flushed dark red.
"Shut up! Lita, you better start cooking."
Lita blushed and changed the subject quickly.
"Mina, how about yours?"
Mina grinned impishly.
"Oh, I'm just thinking of what kind of pajamas I should wear…"
Later that day…
Rei dragged Chad around all day. Chad simply obeyed her every command with a silly grin on his face. Lita took their picture.
Lita brought a plate of cookies to Ken at the arcade.
Ken ate and remarked," Wow, these are very sweet!"
Lita leaned in and whispered," I taste sweeter…"
She winked at him and left. If Ken had looked over to the neighboring booth he would've found a bunch of girls laughing their heads off, but he didn't, instead he stared dumbfounded after Lita.
Midnight came. A group of girls were hiding behind a potted plant watching a skimpy pajama clad girl walk up to an apartment door. She rang the doorbell and hid to the side of the door. A sleepy Matt in plain blue pajamas emerged from the door. He frowned upon seeing no one and stepped into the hallway to look for the person. The pajama girl launched onto Matt like a spring and poor Matt was knocked to the ground. The girl was kissing the life out of Matt, who at first struggled, and then responded. As soon as they had to stop for air, the pajama girl fled before Matt could realize what had happened. Matt sat up slowly, a hand touching his lips.
"DETAILS!" all the girls screamed at Serena.
Serena told them everything and the girls sat back sighing and content.
Amy walked home from Lita's house thinking when she bumped into a person much like Serena would have done, except the results were not as drastic. Arms helped her off the ground.
"Sorry."
"Is this your dare today? Bumping into me?"
Amy looked up to find Greg smiling down at her. She stiffened and her eyes widened a bit in surprise, and then his words registered.
"I beg your pardon? My dare?"
"All of you girls did something today except you and Serena. Logically, they all acted out of character. Rei and Chad went on a date. Lita cooked sugar cookies for Ken and whispered something in his ear. Mina kissed Matt… Rei wouldn't date Chad in her lifetime willingly. Lita doesn't normally whisper something in Ken's ear; they are not that familiar with each other. Mina doesn't spontaneously think of such an idea unless someone helps her. Plus truth or dare is a popular game with girls I hear. What are you and Serena going to do?"
Amy blinked.
"You… you saw Mina?"
"I was going to Matt's to get something and that was what I found. Of course, I didn't tell him I saw everything or he would probably force me to tell him who it was."
"Oh… Well I didn't take dare and Serena has already done her dare."
"… So you took truth?"
Amy suddenly found that Greg was really close, so close she could feel his soft breath. A bit of pink found its way to her cheeks.
"Yes."
"May I ask what they asked you?"
Amy's mind was whirling. Her heart told this, and her mind told her that. A quote from her heart echoed in her mind.
Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt. -William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), from "Measure for Measure", Act 1 scene 4
"You may."
"What did they ask you?"
"If I liked you…" She whispered.
The expression in his face was unreadable.
"And what was your answer?"
Her heart pounded and she found it hard to breathe without breathing the scent of him. But his eyes searched hers for an answer and not quite willingly, but not unwillingly, she answered.
"I do."
Greg's eyes widened and for one horrible moment Amy was sure he didn't return her feelings. She trembled, still in his arms, waiting for the rejection. Then Greg spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Can I… Can I kiss you?"
Their lips came closer and right before they met she murmured, "You can."
