Hey all, fourth chapter is up! Sorry for the wait, but I was feeling really lazy yesterday and didn't update. (Come to think of it, I'm always lazy). Once again, thanks to everyone who updated. The first part of this chapter will be in Mendez's point of view. There may be some OOC, but not for most beyond what has already been shown in other chapters, and nothing super drastic. Now that I think of it, I should really put in a disclaimer for this stuff. I own none of this. Whatever company bought the license for Halo owns Halo, and truth or dare is community property.
Mendez curled up tighter under the blankets, holding his teddy Glock tight against his chest. His training had prepared him to wake at a moment's notice at the slightest sound. So when Linda accidentally knocked the dresser full of guns over, setting of a magnum from the jolt, he was awake in an instant. He pointed the pistol at the dark shape and squeezed the trigger. Nothing happened. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't slept with a loaded pistol since his cat had stepped on the one on his chest. His crotch still ached from time to time. Since that had failed so miserably, it was time to fall back on the old standby.
"You by the gun chest! Get back or I shoot you!"
Linda cringed in terror. "Please chief, it was a dare! An older boy made me. I had to steal some of your beer for him!"
The chief froze in shock. A shirtless trainee had snuck into his room, accidentally fired a pistol, and worst of all, she knew about the beer stash. This got back to Halsey, he was screwed. His only choice was to eliminate this at the source. "You said that an older boy dared you to. Lead me to him."
Linda couldn't help smiling at that one. Setting the furious chief on that freaking pervert Will. Perfect. "Of course chief, follow me.
Will was happy. He was drunk, and Linda was going to bring him even more beer. The door opened, and… Holy shit, Mendez burst through. Will ended up looking down the barrel of a magnum. "Time to die, you son of a bitch. Shouldn't have taken my beer."
Dr Halsey looked up abruptly and gasped. "Mendez!"
Mendez gulped as his career flashed before his eyes. "Kidding Dr, kidding. I see you're ahh, playing a game. May I join?"
Halsey nodded and Mendez relaxed, glad that he had managed to bluff his way through yet another potentially very embarrassing moment. This changed to anxiety when he heard the phrase "Chief. Truth or dare?"
"As all real men, of course I choose dare Will."
As Mendez finished his statement, Will looked EVIL. "Very well chief, get on the table. Your singing the song All You Need is Love by the Beatles."
"Damn you." With that eloquent statement, Mendez hopped (Hauled himself with a ridiculous amount of effort) onto the table and, taking a deep breath, began.
"Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time - It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Right as he was about to reach the end of the song, Mendez tried to walk down the length of the table. His timing was horrible. If he had started ten seconds earlier, Fred would have still been conscious. As it was, he had passed out from the sheer amount of alcohol. Mendez's feet hit his head and he stumbled, pitching head first into the Halsey, knocking her chair backwards. Both he and Halsey went flying, ending up twisting so that Mendez was underneath when they hit the floor.
"Franklin, please buy me dinner first next time." Halsey said as they both sat up.
Angry at his humiliation, Mendez turned to Will and snarled "Truth or dare?"
After the comment about manliness being tied to accepting dares, Will had to choose dare. "Dare me, chief."
"Kiss Kelly."
Will blanched at that one. Kelly couldn't really stand him and he was starting to think that there was something going on between the two of them. Maybe it was because they had gotten distracted again and were currently making out that was the tip off. As he stood and walked closer to him, John looked up. Kelly was too busy doing something with his neck to pay attention. John pulled a combat knife he always kept concealed from the sheath on his bare arm and made a sound somewhere between a life threatening growl and a life threatening roar. Will tore his shirt off, and, when John kept glaring, punched himself in the face before slowly retreating. John went back to what he had been doing with Kelly.
Well, that was it. Chapter four. If you liked it, please review. If you didn't like it, review and tell me why you didn't like it. I am on spring break this week, so will probably update sometime soon, maybe even later today. Next chapter will have some adult content, if not to bad.
