This is the last chapter, in which Syrus and Alexis have to do whatever dare Zane
wants.

The morning after, the students who had been playing Truth or Dare met up by the Slifer dorm. Alexis and Syrus regaled them with their tale of being discovered.
"He didn't kill you? That's incredible." Jaden looked very impressed.
"Yes. I suppose he would have been lenient, due to the fact you are his brother and his best friend's sister. Based on what I know about Zane, with anyone else he would have become irate and turned them in. Consider yourselves lucky." Bastion intoned.
"Yeah, if it was me, I would have tossed both your hides in the ocean." Hassleberry chipped in, demonstrating by picking Chazz up and tossing him a few feet away.
"Knock it off, dino boy!" Chazz swung at him, but lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
Atticus strolled up, a wide grin on his face. "Hey Lexi, Sy. Have a good night? Zane filled me in on the details."
"Atticus, I am going to kill you." Declared Alexis. "Any last requests?"
Atticus sweatdropped. "Come on, Lexi. It was a joke, no one got hurt. We're all cool, right?"
"You're right about one thing, Atty." She looked at him with a sugar-sweet smile. "No one has gotten hurt. Yet."
--Two days later--
Syrus had gotten out of class, and he was mentally making plans to study in the library. Zane came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Syrus."
Syrus started a little, and turned to look at his big brother. "Zane? What is it?"
"Remember when I said that I get to choose your substitute dare? I've thought of something." Syrus went pale and gulped several times.
"I…I'm not going to get in trouble, am I?"
"Of course not. Would I do that to you?" Syrus still didn't look terribly happy, but he went along with it, glad not to be getting in trouble for B&E. (1)
--Later in the afternoon, Chancellor Sheppard's office--
The Chancellor was standing at his personal water cooler, pouring out a glass. He was so distracted (he has a lot of important administrative things to think about) that he didn't look at the plastic water container on top. But then, who does?
As he gulped down the water, he noticed it had a funny taste. He eyed the few millimetres of water left in the glass and saw nothing amiss. When he looked up to examine the container, Sheppard let out a gasp and clutched at his throat.
It was filled with goldfish, happily going about their aquatic business.
"I thought that water tasted fishy!" Sheppard said in horror. (I know, bad pun. I couldn't resist.) "Who could have done this?"
Outside the door, the Truesdales had been waiting with baited breath (yay! More fish puns) for Chancellor Sheppard to notice. When he spoke out, they cracked up and started laughing. The two ran as quickly as they could away from the door, so as not to get caught.
"That was great! I can't believe you actually put those fish in his water." Zane mussed up Syrus's hair. "You're braver than I gave you credit for."
"And you didn't notice that when I snuck into your room to take one of your cards?" Syrus grinned back. "I wonder what he's going to do with the fish?"
"Maybe they'll become dinner for the Slifers."
"Not funny, Zane." Syrus snorted a little. "What are you going to dare Alexis to do?"
"That's for me to know, and her to find out."
--One day later, approximately 10:00PM, at the lighthouse--
Zane was looking at his watch when Alexis showed up. "You made it."
"I noticed. Now what's this dare I need to do?" Zane moved closer to her.
"Do you really want to know?"
"I'm not sure, do I?" She looked over at the gentle waves hitting the cement. "I'm not going swimming fully clothed."
"That's not what I was thinking at all." He smiled down at her. "I dare you to kiss me."
Alexis's mouth gaped open like a fish's . "Here? Now?!" This is so unlike Zane it's not even funny!
Zane nodded, and put his hands on her waist. "Right here, right now." He bent down and put his lips gently on hers.
For a moment, Alexis couldn't think. Then she kissed back, letting Zane pull her into a closer embrace. He ran his tongue along the inside her lips, while caressing her hair. After a few moments that seemed like forever, they broke apart, gasping.
"That was the best dare I've ever done." Alexis finally said. They still had their arms wrapped around each other.
"Actually, me too." Zane smiled a little sheepishly. The two might have shared another kiss, if not for a bright light that momentarily blinded them both.
"That was so cute!" Atticus squealed. "I knew you two would end up together. Kiss her again, Zane. I need more pictures to show Mom and Dad." Alexis might have killed her brother on the spot had Zane not intervened.
"Atticus, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the one who dared Alexis and my brother to sneak into my room." Zane was slowly advancing on Atticus, who was unconsciously backing up, towards the edge.
"Yep, that was me. A pretty good dare, if I do say so myself." Zane leaned close to his friend, an evil smile creeping onto his face.
"Then allow me to reward you for such brilliant thinking." Zane struck like a snake, pushing Atticus off the dock and into the water. The pure surprise on Atticus's face was classic.

1. Breaking and Entering
Finally done this story. Hope you liked it!
I have no idea where the idea for fish in a water cooler came from. It hit me like a lightning bolt. I was originally going to have Syrus put a tarantula with Crowler's makeup, but the idea just didn't seem right.
Sorry if Zane seemed a little OOC, or maybe that's just my paranoia showing up. R&R, but no flames.
