"I dare you to do the duck walk while quacking like a duck."
"I'm not acting like a duck. You're out of your mind, Vega."
"Do the dare, unless you're afraid, Little Jade."
"I'm not afraid, I'm just not doing anything stupid. Besides, it's not like anyone here has the guts to make me, Carlos."
"Do the dare or I post it on TheSlap that you were afraid to do a simple little dare, by none other than your enemy, Tori Vega. You gonna do the dare now?"
"Fine, but anyone who laughs is gonna get worse than this."
As Jade started acting like a duck, no-one realized that she was planning payback on Carlos for threatening her with the post. Thinking back to what she overheard earlier between Jace and Beck, she decides on what to do. When Tori lets her know that she can stop now, she sits back in her spot and looks directly at Carlos.
"Truth or dare, Carlos?"
"Should've known it wouldn't take long to get to me. Truth, I guess."
"Tell us about Hayley."
After he hears Jade say that, he looks at Jace with visible anger, making Jace flinch. After a few moments of silence and Carlos glaring at Jace, Carlos finally speaks up.
"There's nothing to tell, and Jace, how would she know that name? You're the only one who knew about her, let alone her name. So tell me how she would've known it. Choose your words wisely."
After a smirk from Jade, aversion from Jace, and confusion from everyone else, Jace finally speaks up.
"She must have overheard what I told Beck after we left to get some small sticks and stuff for the fire. He asked me why you were distant to a certain someone, and I told him some info. Not a lot, but, I don't know. If I would've known Jade was close, I wouldn't have said anything, I swear."
"I'm taking a walk. Kira, stay close to Tori. I'll be back later."
With that, Carlos walks away, going into the forest, leaving Kira to sit beside Tori. Meanwhile, Jade was looking towards where Carlos just walked, and had a small smile, proud of what she did.
No one said anything for a while, deciding the game was over for now. They all looked towards Jade, who said nothing after Carlos left. Deciding just to talk for a bit, they avoided Jade, except for Cat.
"Why would you ask that? And why are you smiling? How would you feel if you were in his shoes, and someone asked you about Beck?"
"It doesn't matter. That's what he gets for threatening me and saying I was afraid of Vega."
"He wouldn't have done it, Jade."
"What do you mean, Jace? He wouldn't have done it. He seemed pretty serious to me."
"It's how he is. He noticed that Jade has this tough exterior and everything, he figured that if her enemy dared her and she sayed no, then what better way to get her to do it, than something like that. It's getting late, we should go to bed."
"What about Carlos. He still isn't back yet."
"He'll be fine, Tori. Let's just set up the tents, and wait. Kira will keep her ears open for when he comes back. Let's go."
"I'm sleeping in the RV. Cat, come with me." Jade says, annoyance in her voice, but her face telling a different story.
"KK."
After everyone set up the tents, they decided on Beck and Robbie sharing a tent, André and Jace sharing one, and Tori getting the one by the RV, with Kira in with her. What they didn't know was Carlos didn't go far. He stayed close to watch how everyone acted. Even though some of them were silent, he could tell they weren't happy with how Jade had acted, but chose to ignore it for now. After everyone seemed to go to sleep, Carlos walked up to where Tori was sleeping, and went in, seeing she was still up, hugging Kira.
"Shouldn't you be asleep. cousin?"
"Carlos! Where were you?"
"I had to think. Can you keep a secret? I mean, tell no-one. Jace must have realized it by now, and I'm guessing Beck does now with the information Jace told him, and how things went during the game. Don't worry though, the game's not over, not yet." Carlos says while petting Kira, smiling slightly.
Before Tori could say anything, she yawned, getting Carlos to tell her to sleep, and that he'll explain in the morning. He stayed in the tent with his cousin and dog, relaxing until they fell asleep.
Then next morning, Beck leaves the tent, waking everyone up calling their names. Everyone but Tori was surprised to see Carlos leave the tent before Tori, with Kira coming up beside him.
"Well, well. Look what the wind blew in. When did you come back?"
"If you must know, Jace, I came back after everyone fell asleep. I was closer to the camp than you think. How bout we continue the little game from last night? I believe it's my turn."
With confusion from everyone, the all sat down and looked at Carlos, waiting on hom to ask.
"Truth or dare, Jade. It's payback time."
"Dare. Try me, I'm not afraid of you."
"I dare you to dye your hair bright pink for monday and wear bright clothes everyday in school for a week."
"WHAT?!"
While everyone laughs at this, Carlos sits there and smiles, waiting. After everyone has a good laugh, Carlos speaks again.
"You afraid yet? Unlike last time, I will take great pride in telling everyone online that you were afraid to do a dare."
"How will you make sure I do it?"
"Hey Cat, you up for staying with Jade to make sure she does it? I'll buy the dye and you can offer the clothes. If you have any her size. Better yet, on the way back later, I'll pick up the dye, and we meet at Tori's place. You can dye it there. Now all Cat has to do is get you the clothes for school. Can't wait."
While Jade stood there in silence, not believing what just happened, Cat got excited and started planning her outfits for the week.
After a few hours of playing truth or dare some more, leaving Carlos and Jade out if it, everyone decided to head home. This time, André and Robbie stayed in the RV with Tori, Cat, and Carlos with Kira. Jade insisted on sitting in the truck with Beck and Jace. After they got back to Beck's house a couple of hours later, stopping for breakfast, Carlos sat in Jace's Mustang to go home, and telling Tori to take Kira with her, so they can get the dye at the a 10 minute drive, they park and go into the mall. 30 minutes later, they're back in Jace's car, on the way to dropping off Carlos at his apartment.
"Try not to embarrass her too much." were Jace's last words before he drove off to Tori's.
Getting a few more things from his room, Carlos heads to his Impala and heads to Tori's, smiling while Linkin Park plays over his speakers.
Thank you to FurryFriends143 and Gunner3284 for the support and help. The dare for Jade from Tori came from FurryFriends143, I just changed how it came to be and added a little. The next chapter will be up by the middle of next week, and there will be a couple forming in the next chapter as well. I won't say who, though. Please review, and thank you to those who read and fallow my story. The support means a lot.
