I am so sorry for not updating. I've run out of excuses. –Hangs head-

Before you go off at me for making them play truth or dare, I really wanted to do that with them two and I just hope it's not annoying. Enjoy!

Chapter Six

Truth, Dare or Alarm?

"So, how's the wild?"

Laina and Narae were sitting in the bedroom of Laina's living quarters. It was rather spacey, with wooden floorboards for the living room and kitchen, tiles for the bathroom and carpet for the bedroom. All of the rooms had red curtains that went perfectly with the mostly blue and orange coloured furniture. The bedroom's carpet was white and the large bed was made up with orange and blue sheets. The moonlight outside was shining inside the room and onto the orange walls.

"It's not bad, could be better. I mean, Katya always feels like she has to come and check up on us like we can't look after ourselves. Well, it's not really "checking up" per say, because all she ever does is whine. Whine, whine, whine..."

Laina laughed at Narae's ramblings. "What do you want to do?"

Narae's eyes glistened. "More pizza!"

"No! I can't eat anymore pizza, my stomach will burst," Laina complained, though she had a smile on her face.

"Fine, fine. How about truth or dare?" Narae suggested.

Laina raised an eyebrow at the girl perched on her bed. "That little kiddie's game?"

Narae raised her arms defensively. "Hey, it's either that or we learn about all these matches." She held up an orange-red book with a title that read: "The 101st Book of Matches."

"Gosh, woman, where do you have the space to keep that thing?" She squinted and read the title. "A hundred and first? There were a hundred more of these things?"

Narae shrugged. "It wasn't my idea, not that I'm complaining though. Anyway, truth, dare, double dog dare, kiss or torture?"

"What? I thought it was just truth or dare," Laina stated. Narae gave her a glare and rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine. I choose... Dare."

"Hmm, I dare you to... Steal one of Dexter's inventions." Laina opened her mouth to speak, but Narae stopped her. "And it has to be from inside his lab."

Laina gave a pleading look. "No, please! Have mercy!"

Narae shook her head. "Sorry. Let's get going."

Both girls opened the door to Laina's quarters and peered around to see if anybody was there. The corridor was deserted, so they quickly snuck off outside. There was a light breeze blowing that made Goosebumps appear on their arms and legs. Their pyjamas weren't exactly very covering. There were a few people outside, most of them Kids Next Door operatives. They hid behind a brick wall and followed it all the way to Dexlabs.

Looking up at the tall building, Laina didn't know how she was going to break in. Narae nudged her and showed her a matchbox. Laina's eyes widened, scared of what her friend was about to do. She was told to stand back and, for possibly the first time ever, she obeyed. She couldn't see what Narae was doing in front of the main entrance and she wasn't sure she wanted to know. A minute later, Narae ran back to her and told her to cover her ears.

A loud bang could be heard, even with them covering their ears and a stream of orange light burst. Narae grabbed Laina's hand and pulled her inside. The front hall was abandoned and took the elevator.

"Don't worry," Narae reassured, pressing the button to Dexter's laboratory. "I didn't set anything on fire; it just looked like I did so we could come in undetected.

"Awesome," Laina praised, and she meant it. She would never have thought of a fake fire bomb, let alone been able to pull it off.

The elevator doors opened and they were greeted by Dexter's unusually dark working space. They had never seen it at night time before, so they spent a minute or so staring. There were many flashing buttons they wouldn't have noticed had it been the middle of the day. After snapping out of it, they searched the area for an invention Dexter would surely notice was missing.

"Hey, what about this?" Laina picked up what looked like a large, silver gun with a heap of buttons attached to it. It was right on the desk, so Dexter had to realise it was absent.

Narae gave her a thumb up. "Perfect, now let's get going before they realise it was a fake bomb."

Just in case, they sped down the staircase in the corner. No one was coming up, so it was all clear. They snuck out the entrance and crept past the crowd gathered there and rushed all the way back to Laina's quarters. As soon as they crossed the threshold, they bolted the door and burst out laughing. They walked back to Laina's bedroom, out of breath from both running and laughing.

Laina set the gun on her desk sitting by the door. "Ah, what a beauty."

"Eh, could be better. I mean, where's the fire power?" Narae eyed it, not very impressed.

"Okay, okay, okay," Laina started, jumping onto her bed. "It's your turn. Truth, dare, double dog dare, kiss or torture?"

"Kiss," Narae replied, almost immediately.

Laina stroked her chin and pretended to think. "Okay, you have to kiss my toilet seat."

Narae threw a pillow at her. "Are you crazy? Your butt's been there!"

"Oh please, it could have been worse. It could have been Bloo's butt."

"Does he even have a butt?"

"Who cares? Just kiss the toilet!"

"Fine..." Narae grumbled. She opened the door and ran to the bathroom. Laina followed eagerly as fast as she could. When she arrived, Narae was already standing there with a triumphant look on her face. "I did it! I kissed the toilet."

"You can't fool me," Laina smirked. She knew Narae had used her athletic abilities as an excuse to escape the dare.

Narae didn't argue, but scrunched up her face. She bent down so she was kneeling on the tiled floor and puckered her lips. They made contact with the seat and she screamed. She was spitting into the toilet bowl, much to Laina's delight. She scurried over to the sink and washed her mouth. She grabbed Laina's arm and pulled her so they were back in the bedroom once more.

"You owe me big time." Laina said nothing, so Narae continued. "Truth, dare, double dog dare, kiss or torture?"

"Truth," Laina replied. "You know how blunt I am, I've got nothing to hide!"

"Oh really?" Narae looked positively evil in the darkness. "So, tell me, do you have a crush on that guy you work with? Brian what's-his-name?"

"It's Brydon!" Laina corrected in a high-pitched voice.

"Ha!" Narae pointed an accusing finger. "You just defended him, so you do like him!"

"I-"

Laina didn't have the opportunity to finish the sentence, however, as a loud ringing sound screamed through the area. The two exchanged worried looks, the previous conversation now forgotten. Narae, not being used to the Downtown area, didn't know what that bell meant. Laina, on the other hand, did and she was trying with all her might not to panic. She made a clumsy attempt to reach for the gun, knocking it off the table instead. The second time she tried she caught it and kept it clutched in her hand.

"We have to go! It's the alarm bell!" she shouted over the noise.

"The alarm bell for what?" Narae yelled, but no one answered her. Laina was already making a break for the door. Narae trailed behind, catching up quickly due to her athletic ability.

I hope I'll update soon. I really want to finish this now because I had a plot bunny a few weeks ago I want to get going. Review!
