Word Prompt: "I dare you."

"I dare you." Gordon said with a mischievous glint in his amber brown eyes.

Virgil sighed and glared at him. "Why me? Why is it always me?"

Gordon smirked at Virgil's sullen face. "Well for one thing, that's not true, but with Alan away with Dad, I need someone to help me. Besides, with John and Scott out shopping, you're really the only one available. And you're the one who got yourself into this mess. " He pointed out.

" I knew I should have gone with them when they offered."

"Nah, where would be the fun in that? They're probably talking about planes and girls. How could you want to be talking about those things when you've been having the best time watching movies with me."

Until now. Virgil thought grimly. Gordon had been stuck in bed for weeks with a broken leg and sprained wrist, the after-effects from falling off the climbing wall at the high school with no harness, a dare gone wrong. Virgil had been doting on him, waiting on him hand and foot, making sure he was fine, so when Scott and John had gone out and offered to take him with them, Virgil had said no, offering to stay back with Gordon so that he wouldn't get bored. But halfway through the first movie, Gordon had pulled out his 'Master Prank Evil Genius' notebook and had started scribbling in it, Virgil had started to wonder how long it would be before he got asked to execute one, or in this case dared to implement one.

"Oh come on Virg, humor me would ya?"

Virgil sighed again and pushed his hand through his hair. "Fine." He quietly watched Gordon's face burst into a sunshine smile before grabbing his notebook and furiously paging through it. A thought came into his mind and he grinned evilly "So, what do I get in return?"

Gordon stopped paging with a confused look on his face. "What?"

"What do I get in return? You know, as payment?"

"Do you need payment?"

"Come on, I've been helping you this past month and I think after I execute one of your pranks I deserve it."

Gordon sighed, "Fine, what do you want?"

"No pranks for a month."

Gordon thought about it for a minute and then stuck out his hand. "Deal."

They shook on it and then Gordon flung his bed covers aside. "Pass me my crutches would ya?"

Virgil picked up the crutches that were leaning against the dresser and passed them to Gordon who quickly stood up and then hobbled his way to the closet. Upon opening the closet, he handed Virgil a bucket, who set the bucket on the ground and pulled the lid off.

"How on earth did you find this much glitter?" he glanced at Gordon's grinning face "or do I not want to know?"

Gordon laughed "What you don't know won't hurt you."

Shaking his head, Virgil stood up and picked up the bucket. "Okay...so what am I doing with a bucket of glitter?"

"Come with me my minion and all will be revealed!" Gordon said dramatically before taking off out of his bedroom as fast as his crutches would let him.

What have I gotten myself into? Virgil wondered as he followed Gordon out the room.
