*The Dare*

[Skipper's POV]

Marlene actually said yes. I honestly don't know what to say about that. I was really expecting her to say no...oh well.

It's not that I don't like Marlene it's just that I don't want to take her on date as dare.

When I got back I figured that we'ld simply continue on with the game, but no they all have to make a big deal about it. Everybody is either trying to dress me up for my date or is standing in the corner making comments about it. At the momment Burt has put me in a tux of all things, "Hahahahaha! A penguin in a tux. Very funny!"

"Hmmmmm...oooo I have the perfect thing. Let me go get it." Rodger then ran out the door to get...God knows what. When he came back he put what ever it was on me some fast I didn't get to see it. When I opened my eyes I found that I dressed as the Phantom of the Opera. This was getting ridiculous so I simply went with a black bow tie.

As I put it on Marlene called from outside, "Skipper! You in here!" I heard her walk in and when I turned to see her I felt my jaw drop open. She was wearing a light pink dress with tiny black stars decorating it. I'm not really sure what she did to her eyes but what ever she did made then pop and sparkle. On her head was...was...was- well it wasn't exactly a wig but hair extensions maybe. It was only in front of her head to frame her face. It was parted sorta to the side and on top her head at the part was a light pink bow that was sparkly.

I looked aroud and saw that all the other males in the room also had their mouths hanging wide open.

Marlene looked at us curiously and then asked, "Are you guys feeling all right? You all do realise that you're drooling, right? Anyway Skipper, you ready? Let's go!" She grabbed my hand and started pulling me out the door. Before we were completly out Marlene looked back at the others and said, "Guys if I were you I'ld shutting thoughs those mouths of yours before a bug crawls in, makes a nest, and has babies. Bye!"

With that Marlene pulled me out and stared talking about what we should do tonight. While she was going on about that one question kept going though my mind.

Why haven't I noticed how beautiful Marlene is before?

R&R!
