"Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!". The sound of Ruby and Weiss chanting below her gave Blake the strength to keep walking forward. It won't be so bad the human part of her said it's just a little bit of water. However, the cat side of her said something along the lines of WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DON'T WALK TOWARDS IT! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! It wasn't the height of the diving board she was standing on that made Blake think twice about jumping; it was the water. Blake could handle showering and occasionally taking a lengthy bath, but jumping off of a platform 10 meters high into a pool of freezing water was something else.

The dare also posed another problem; her ears. On a hot summer day like this one, the pool was crowded with students of Beacon. Concerned that her bow might fall off in the water, Team RWBY had scrambled to cover her head with toques, swim caps, and other types of headgear they could salvage from their closet. She looked ridiculous, but her secret was safe.

Blake looked back down at her teammates. Ruby and Weiss urged her to keep going, while Yang just stood there watching with a satisfied look on her face. Well, Yang had waited for her revenge and now she was about to get it. When the blonde had decided to rejoin the game, Blake knew she was going to be a target.

"It's just water! Get it over with!" Weiss yelled up.

Step by step, Blake edged herself close to the edge of the board. Looking over, she saw the water glistening down below her. When her toes were dangling over the edge, she stopped, closed her eyes, and jumped.

Her cat-like reflexes took over. She whirled around and grabbed the very edge of the board, holding on with the tips of her fingers. "Guys, help!" she yelled. She could hear people laughing in the pool below her and grew red. The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs to the high board rang through the facility. Ruby Blake thought to herself, but when she looked up she saw…

"Yang?" Blake said, both curious and terrified at the same time. Yang nodded, then pushed the faunus' fingers off of the board. Blake felt like she was falling in slow motion. As she tumbled through the air, she kept her eyes on the grinning girl above her.

SPLASH

At first, it was refreshing; almost like a shower. Then, it felt like she was being sucked into the water. She opened her mouth and tried to gasp for air, but water filled into her lungs. I'm going to drown she thought as she kicked and flailed in the water. Help me! she tried to scream, but it just came out as a muffled cry. The pool was pulling her deeper and deeper into it's depths, swallowing her whole. No matter how hard she struggled, she continued to sink until she didn't know where she was. Her vision was dark, she couldn't see anything. Am I dead? she thought to herself, before realizing her eyes were closed. When she opened them, she saw everybody looking at her in a funny way. Her lower body was submerged, but from her waist-up, she was floating above the water. She stopped struggling, and realized she was able to stand up.

Almost simultaneously, the whole pool erupted into laughter. Looking at her teammates, she saw Weiss politely giggling behind her hand, trying to conceal her laughter while Ruby guffawed loudly. Yang chuckled, seemingly content with the result of her dare. Embarrassed, Blake swam over to the edge of the pool and pulled herself out.

Yang still didn't forgive Blake. Before rejoining the game, she had spent an hour and a half looking at her hair in the mirror. Blake had taken a full centimeter off, and it looked awful! However, her time alone made her realize that if she wanted revenge, she would have to go and get it herself. With her thirst for revenge fueling her, she composed herself and joined the game once again. She would have to wait three turns before she could exact revenge, but no one was brave or stupid enough to target Yang, who did nothing but stare at Blake until it was her turn.

Now, looking at the shivering faunus covered in towels sitting across from her, she was almost satisfied… almost. Truthfully, she felt much better. She didn't feel sulky or depressed like she had been for the past three hours, but she still felt the need to embarrass her partner further. Fortunately for Blake, Yang would have to wait another round for her chance.

Ruby Rose studied the group. Blake was drying herself off, Yang was smiling (thank goodness), and Weiss was looking bored. "Blake!" she said. Blake looked up at her, still trying to dry her hair, "truth or dare?".

Well, it can't be any worse than jumping into water or reading Ninjas of Love Blake thought to herself, "dare". Blake was wrong. She was so, SO wrong.

"I dare you to ask Sun out on a date" Ruby said gleefully. Blake's face made her laugh. It was hard to not pair the cat-girl and the monkey-boy with each other because they were perfect together. After all, opposites attract, right?

"Can I decline?" Blake asked.

"Why would you decline?" Weiss asked with a pouty tone, "Don't be lame".

"See, Blake?" Yang asked, "Ice Queen just called you lame". Weiss shot her a dirty look to which Yang gave a grin and a thumbs-up.

"What's wrong Blake?" Ruby asked innocently, "Don't you like Sun?"

"Yeah kitty," Yang agreed, "you're acting really… FISHY". She grinned and looked at her other teammates. Ruby groaned and Weiss put her head in her hands. "No? Come on, that was a good one".

"Well, I like him…" Blake started. Ruby's eyes suddenly glowed with excitement. "NO! I mean… not like that" Blake corrected, "I just think tha-... I mean, he's nice but I… I" Blake noticed how much she was blushing and stopped talking. "Ok, I'll do it".

"Really?" Ruby asked, "Yay!".

"I had better get a really good ear scratch for this" Blake muttered to herself.

"Yang, truth or dare?" Weiss asked. It had taken a lot of courage to ask the blonde. Fortunately, Yang didn't seem to mind, and answered with her usual confidence.

"Dare!" she replied with a nervous smirk.

Weiss had thought this through. A few weeks ago, Yang had taken her to a place in the village that served a drink called "Nevermore Bumbler". There were two things Yang neglected to tell the heiress before their trip. Firstly, the drink was very addictive. Secondly, the drink was alcoholic.

The details of what had happened after Weiss' fifth drink were blurry. Unfortunately for her, she was able to relive the whole night through pictures Yang had taken. Even through photography, the series of events was confusing. The entire bar frozen in ice, Weiss singing loudly through the streets, and a "fight" between her and a random stranger were just a few of the confusing photos on Yang's camera. Yang never deleted those photos, and Weiss never forgot the incident. So, now she wanted to see how Yang would handle under the influence of the drink.

Weiss pulled the pack of canned Nevermore Bumbler from under her bed. "You're dare is to drink these throughout the rest of the game". If Yang was fazed at all by the dare, she didn't show it.

"Easy!" she said, opening a can and taking a big sip from it. The blue drink bubbled as the raised the can to her lips.

"Ummmm… what's that Yang?" Ruby asked innocently.

"It's like soda, except it makes you really stupid" her older sister replied, taking another gulp of blue alcohol.

While the two sisters talked, Weiss leaned towards Blake. "How long until she gets… you know…?" Weiss asked. Blake smiled and shrugged.

"Two turns... maybe less". Weiss smiled and sat upright. Looking at Yang open her second can, Weiss wasn't sure whether she had just made a good choice or a big mistake.

Either way, she had just made the game a lot more interesting.
