It's very soon- maybe too soon- to update, but it seems like you guys like it, so here's another chapter. Martine, BTW, is an OC from Cognition. All you have to know is that she is an instructor and Grace's sister. Enjoy :)
Suddenly, somebody knocks on the door. It's Peter and Lauren.
"What was that Erudite?!" Peter asks.
"It was a prank. We're playing Candor or Dauntless, you guys wanna join us?" she answers.
"See Peter, I told you she wasn't going crazy!" Lauren laughs.
"Fine." Peter says quietly and they both sit down.
"Anyways, It's my turn now. Christina, you know the question."
"Candor." She answers the second Grace finishes talking.
"Are you and Will dating?" she asks. Christina sighs.
"Ehm…" she looks at him.
"Yes, yes we are."
"Ok…"
"Eric, Candor or Dauntless?" Christina asks to distract everybody quickly.
"Dauntless"
"Ok, I dare you to drink some Amity serum."
"You have that?"
"Yes. Yes I do."
"Fine." Eric sighs and Christina gives him the serum. The moment he drinks it a smile appears on his face. It's unnatural. "Wow…" he says, his eyes shifting to the window. "The sun… It's so… beautiful. Can I touch it?"
"O.M.G," Christina says.
Four's eyes sparkle with something evil in them for a moment. "Hey Eric?"
"Yes, Four?"
Four's hand slaps Eric's face hard.
"Thank you, friend!"
"Unbelievable."
"Can we please continue?" Uriah says.
"Are you kidding? Have you ever seen anything so ridiculous? Enjoy it. It might never happen again. And I mean NEVER. EVER. EVER. AGAIN." Tris replies, still amazed by the power of the serum.
Somebody knocks on the door.
"I'll get it!" Uriah sighs. When he opens the door, Martine bursts in, angry.
"What is going on here? Wasn't I clear when I said NO CANDOR OR DAUNTLESS, Grace?"
Eric then gets up and hugs Martine, making her even more angry and disgusted.
"You're my favorite person in the whole wide world!" he says, smiling.
"WHAT? Get off of me you freak!" she says shaking Eric off of herself.
His Amity-like smile doesn't disappear. She looks at him, more puzzled than ever and shakes her head slowly. "So unnatural…"
"Wanna join?" Zeke asks.
"Definitely not. But would you care to explain what's his deal? Does he have a twin?"
"He's on Amity serum," Tris explains.
"Ah. Makes sense. Grace, I hope you understand that these games can only lead to you getting drunk and kissing a bunch of irresponsible young men like these two?" she said, pointing to Zeke and Uriah who are grinning like idiots.
"Oh my gosh, you're right, I can't let anybody kiss me! I could get pregnant and stuff! You're right, what was I thinking, I'm 16, if I even touch a bottle of bear, I think I'll end up in the hospital!" Grace says sarcastically.
"So. Wanna join?" Zeke repeats his question.
"I might. That way I'll be the responsible adult here when you kiddos drink too much," she says and sits down on the floor.
"So, you know what's Candor or Dauntless?" Will asks, teasingly and everybody laughs.
Martine roles her eyes. "Of course. You guys continue,"
"I think Eric has to ask the question now. If he's able," Zeke says. "Eric. Eric!" he shakes Eric's shoulders to get him to concentrate.
"What?"
"Ask somebody the question. You know, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Um… PETER, dear friend! Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless,"
"Name one thing you like about each person in this lovely room!" he says with a smile.
Peter pretends to take his shirt off first, but says: "Kidding," later and looks around. "Ok, Uriah- youuu… areeee… You are pretty good at all the Dauntless stuff? You're very Dauntless? I don't know!"
"Sold! At least since it's probably your first compliment ever," Uriah jokes.
"I'm taking it back. Zeke you're really Dauntless, too I guess…"
"You can't come up with ANYTHING better?"
"I barely know you! Ok, where was I? Right, Lynn. Lynn you're OK. I guess I like you best in the entire room. That's a compliment, right? Ok, then Tris. Um…"
Tris waits nervously. It takes Peter a long time to find something.
"You're really brave for a girl and you're one of the bravest initiates… I guess. Four- you're an OK instructor, Marlene- you're not annoying for now, Shauna- I… I don't know you that well, really! Grace… Uh… This is a though one… You… have really long hair?"
"NOT A COMPLIMENT, PETER!"
"I think he's doing great!" Eric objects calmly.
"You have nice hair? Is that a compliment?"
Eric shows him a thumbs up.
"Ok, got that one right… Will- you're a pretty good Dauntless for an Erudite? I don't know. Christina- you… are from the same faction as me…" Peter looks around to see disappointed faces. "… And I appreciate that? I'm trying, people!
Lauren- you're the best looking instructor… No offense, Four! Al, you were really helpful with the 'Kill Tris' operation!"
Tris and Al both look very hurt since they're sensitive about the subject.
"And… Eric- you are sitting right there!"
Eric claps his hands in amazement.
"Who am I forgetting? Right, the newcomer. Martine, you are a slightly less annoying instructor than Four," Peter sighs with relief when he's done. "Crushed it!"
"That was so fine!" Eric applauds again. He yawns. "I'm sleepy… Eric is going to take a little nap now…" he says, his head falling to the floor and he automatically falls asleep.
"Quick! Throw him into the chasm!" Zeke exclaims. Everyone looks at him. "I mean… sleep well, little fella'!"
"Nobody's buying it, Zeke!" Shauna says sadly and strokes his head.
"So close, though!"
"Okay, let's continue, shall we?" Shauna says and claps her hands.
"My turn, right? Let's see… Lauren!"
"Dauntless, of course!"
"Take off your shirt and pants, then go to Max's office, knock on the door and tell him you lost your clothes!"
"To an angry ostrich!" Marlene ads.
"Why?"
"Shh! Trust the silliness!"
"I think I'll just take my shirt off…" Lauren starts.
"Oh, come on!"
Lauren takes her shirt off and crosses her arms to cover her body now that she's only wearing a bra. "Okay, Marlene! Choose!"
"Dauntless! I ain't no pansycake, right Uri?" she says and elbows Uriah.
"You have to do Peter's dare!"
"Can I include the ostrich part?"
"Go ahead!"
"I'll go witness, since it's originally my dare!" Peter says.
Marlene takes off her shirt and pants (and the shoes, as- to quote her- it makes more sense that way!). Her and Peter walk out of the apartment, straight to Max's office. Marlene knocks on the door, giggling.
"Hel… what is going on here?" Max says and tries to slam the door, but Marlene stops him.
"Wait! There is something I need you to know- I lost my clothes to an angry ostrich! It was tragic!"
"I don't have time to deal with you drunk children now. Go!"
Marlene collapses on the floor as he finally closes the door. "That… was priceless!"
"I'm good at this game!" Peter says to himself. Marlene picks herself up from the floor and they return.
"How'd it go?" Lynn asks.
"Max thought she was drunk!"
"I don't have time to deal with you drunk children!" Marlene imitates Max and starts laughing. "Where'd my clothes go?"
"Here!" Uriah says, handing her a pile of puts them back on quickly and sits on the floor again. "My tuuurn!" she sings. "Zekey, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless- what kind of a question is that?"
"I dare you to call your best friend's mum and tell her you're concerned about her weight,"
"Too fat or too skinny?"
"Fat,"
"Alright. Four?"
Four looks up. "What?"
"You're my best friend!"
"Aww!" says Tris.
"Not 'awww'! My mum is about to be really weirded out!" he says, reaching for the phone in his pocket. "Here,"
"Thank you, sweetie!" Zeke says, taking the phone."There…
Hello? Miss Johnson? Yes, hi, Zeke here… I'm your only child's best friend, for god's sake! Yes… So, I wanted to tell you I'm a little- no, a LOT- concerned about your-" Zeke puts the phone away from his face and giggles quietly. "About your weight…" his lip is twitching uncontrollably. "You, Miss Johnson, are TOO FAT!" they hear yelling from the other side of the line. "But it is the truth! Mi- Miss Johnson, listen to me! YOU HAVE TO SLIM DOWN THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SOLVE THIS… Oh, really? I won't stand for this, I am going to hang up now, but I expect you to sort out your priorities when I stop this phone call. Goodbye, MISS JOHNSON!" he says and demonstratively hangs up.
"Bravo!" Uriah claps. Zeke bows theatrically.
"I have to admit, you were awesome!" Four says.
"Yes. Yes I was! I am the master of prank calls!"
"I can't believe you only laughed once!" Martine comments.
"Why, I must be really good if even Buzzkill admires my work!"
"BUZZKILL? Four is the Buzzkill here, not me!" Martine objects.
"Lately you've been a bit of a Buzzkill," her sister agrees.
"Ugh… I hate you people!"
"I have an idea! It's my turn now and I think Buzzkill-
"Don't call me that,"
"Martine should take the next dare-"
"Or truth. I can pick Candor,"
"But then you'd be a buzzkill,"
"Okay, I pick Dauntless!"
"I dare you to… run around the Pit screaming "I have lost my voice, please help me find it!".
"But if I lost my voice, how am I talking?"
"Just go with it!"
"Ok. That's not too bad, I guess."
"You'll do it?"
"I will!"
Martine stood up, a bit unsure about the whole thing, but walked to the Pit. Zeke was hopping around behind her to see if she does the dare.
"Okay… Um… wait, if I don't wanna do it, I have to take of my shirt?"
"Or pants!"
She sighs. "I've lost my voice, please help me find it!"
The whole Pit turns around to look at her.
"Great, now I have to continue. I HAVE LOST MY VOICE! PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT! I CAN'T FIND MY VOICE!" she runs around in pretend panic and laughs after she's done. "Oh my gosh… I can't believe I did that! It wasn't that bad, actually."
"Yeah. Why do you think we still play this game if not for it's bearable-ness!"
They got back to the apartment.
"What happened?" a grumpy voice says.
"Oh, look who's back!" Uriah comments.
"Rise and shine, sleepyhead!" Zeke sings, while angry Eric glares at him.
"Shh! It's my turn now! Eric, Candor or Dauntless?" Martine asks.
"Me again? It was my turn just a second ago!"
"Not really. You took a little nap. So?"
"Dauntless… wait, no! You guys are going to put me on Amity serum again, right? I pick Candor,"
"PANSYCAAAAKEEE!" Uriah yells.
"I am a Dauntless leader, don't call me- what did you call me?"
"Pansycake,"
"What is that?"
"Not again!" Lynn says.
"It's an old Dauntless word. No one uses it anymore. Except for-"
"MEEEEE!" Uriah cuts his brother off.
"Whatever. What do I have to answer now?"
"Okay… When you were on Amity serum, you said I'm your favorite person in the whole wide world. What the hell was that?"
"I don't know, maybe it was mixed with some anti-truth serum?"
Martine punched him in the arm.
"ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION, YOU IDIOT!" she yells at him.
"Okay, okay! The truth is… I hate you the least, I guess. But I still hate you, just so you know."
"Aw, so nice of you," she says sarcastically and rolls her eyes."Your turn,"
"Shauna. Ca… You know the question!"
"Dauntless, I guess."
"Eat raw eggs."
"What? Eww… Okay. How many?"
"Let's say fou- five. Five raw eggs."
"Uri, Zeke? Got any eggs? Please say no."
"Actually, we do! I'll be right back!"
Zeke comes back with a box of eggs. "Enjoy your meal!"
Shauna makes a disgusted grimace and takes the first egg. She cracks it open and carefully pours it into her mouth. "Eeeeewww!" she shivers and looks like she's about to puke it out.
"4 more, right?" Zeke says. Shauna fakes a smile, her mouth still full. She takes another egg and eats it. "I'm gonna puke…" she says and runs to the bathroom.
"Is she serious?" Uriah asks.
His question is confirmed by the sound of a toilet being flushed. Shauna comes out of the bathroom and takes off her shirt. "Never… ever… again!" she sits down and holds her stomach. "Um, Uri. C or D?"
"Dauntless all the way!"
"Kiss Marlene! On the mouth!"
Uriah blushes and starts playing with his shirt as if he's going to take it off.
"What? Am I that bad?" Marlene asks, quite offended.
"I think Uri's being a little pansycake right now," Zeke says.
"I. AM NOT. A PANSYCAKE!" Uriah says and kisses Marlene.
"Oooh…" they all say.
Uriah sits down, blushing. Marlene is blushing, too. Uriah looks down at his jeans and stays quiet for a while.
"Uri, it's your turn, remember?" Zeke shakes his shoulder.
"Right, right… Tris. C or D?"
"Let's say… Candor."
"What's the craziest dream you've ever had?"
"Hmmm… Ok, so, I'm riding on my bike trough my small Abnegation home. Suddenly, my mother appears at the front door. She is wearing Erudite clothes and she tells me to get the bike out of her house or she'll cut my hair. But I refuse! So suddenly, she starts chasing me around the city with a pair of giant scissors and she is threatening to cut my hair all the time. So then, I hide in a building, and when I think I'm safe, she appears in Dauntless clothes, the scissors still in her hand. So, then, she cuts my hair after all and then I woke up. So, yeah, you asked for crazy, you got crazy.
"That sure is crazy!"
"Yeah. Anyway, Marlene- Candor or Dauntless?"
"Candor," everybody notices how Uriah didn't yell 'pansycake'.
"I was hoping you'd pick that! Do you like Uriah? As in, do you have a crush on him?"
Marlene blushes. "Maybe…"
"That's not a proper answer, Marlene!"
"Yes."
"I like you too," Uriah whispers.
"Really?"
"Yeah. So… um, would you like to go out sometime? Like a date or something…?"
"Yes."
"Aw… Aren't you two cute? Now can we get back to the game?" Zeke interrupts.
"ZEKE!" Shauna says, disgusted.
"Anyways, Lynn, C or D?" Marlene asks wearing a big smile on her face.
"Dauntless, duh!"
"Enter the Pit doing the funky chicken!" Marlene laughs.
"Fine…" Lynn says getting up.
"I will witness!" Marlene volunteers.
When they arrive, Lynn starts dancing like she's crazy, and Marlene films everything with her phone.
Everybody stares at Lynn.
When they come back Marlene laughs like a maniac and shows the video to everybody.
"Ok, ok, that was enough! Why do you always only video record me?"
Marlene shrugs and sits down.
"Christina, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Well I picked Candor the last time, so, Dauntless."
"Ok, you have to… call your mother and tell her that you're pregnant with Will. Keep the conversation long, talk a lot. Oh and make sure you put it on speaker so we can hear everything!" she laughs.
"Oh gosh… Fine." Christina agrees and calls her mother.
