A/N: Before I start this, I have two things to say. 1, if I didn't use your dares and truths this chapter, don't worry. I'm saving them for the next where they'll fit in better. 2, I'm getting dares that are over 8. I just want to say, there's nothing wrong with that, but any set of truths and dares over 8 will count as two and so I will fit in less sets per chapter. Other than that, thank for all those who contributed to this story. :) You guys are awesome.
Jaiden gently knocked on Mina's door. He was up before her, and that was a big change. Sure Mina liked sleep just as much as he did, but usually she was up before him, especially if there were other people around. When he got no answer, he opened the door and peeked in. Mina was face down in her pillows, sprawled messily, her quilts twisted around her. Jaiden smiled slightly. He was right. She'd had a rough night. He could tell. He walked over next to her, gently moving her so she wasn't face down in the pillows anymore and left again. There'd be no point waking her. Most likely she'd stayed up to sometime in the early morning. He wouldn't be able to wake her easily anyway. Mina was a heavy sleeper after all. He knocked on each of the bedroom doors before swinging them open, letting the bright morning light shine in. He stopped at Dawn's bedroom trying not to laugh. Dawn was sleeping, cuddled with the Paul plushie in her arms. He guessed that she had forgotten about it. Quickly he took out his phone, taking a picture to show Mina after.
"Wake up!" Jaiden yelled. Reluctantly, each person (except Mina) woke up. The doors shut again and the sounds of running water was heard. Jaiden nodded to himself and walked over to the printer, collecting the printed papers that had come during the night. Jaiden looked up, hearing everyone come out of their rooms. Everyone was dressed and ready. Ash looked the most tired (probably from his late night feast) and Dawn didn't have the plushie in her arms (probably left it on her bed).
"Ok, we're up," Drew grumbled.
"Where's breakfast?" Ash asked. Jaiden pointed to the kitchen. A few minutes later, everyone was back in the room, sitting on the couches.
"Where's Mina?" Dawn asked, suddenly realizing she was missing.
"Still sleeping," Jaiden said, smiling slightly, "I told you she would have a rough night didn't I?"
"So if Mina's sleeping, does that mean we don't have to do our dares?" Misty asked hopefully. Jaiden shook his head, making a round of groans circle through everyone.
"I'm the co-host remember?" Jaiden said, "If Mina's not here, I'll read them."
"Why didn't you wake Mina anyway?" Drew asked.
"She'll be tired," Jaiden said, "I told you. She would have stayed up to sometime in the morning, tossing and turning."
"How do you know that?" May asked, giving Jaiden a look.
"Because I know Mina and I know she would've been up for a long time thinking," Jaiden said, "she tends to overthink."
"It's ok Jaiden, I'm awake now," Mina said, coming out. Jaiden turned to look at her. Her hair was messed up, her eyes were half lidded as she was blinking rapidly and her head tilted slightly. Everyone immediately noticed the absence of the black jacket she usually wore. At the very edges of her t-shirt, everyone could see the slightest of pink scared skin.
"Mina you must be tired," Jaiden said, coming over to her; blocking her from the others' view, "you've forgotten your jacket." Mina looked down at herself, gasping and crossed her arms, trying to hide as much of her skin as she could. Jaiden shook his head and shrugged of his blue jumper, revealing the red and white stripped t-shirt underneath.
"Here," he said handing it to her, "Use this." Mina took it, offering Jaiden a sleepy, but grateful smile as she slipped it over her head. It was when her head poked through the jumper that everyone noticed the purplish blue line down the left side of her face.
"What's that?" Dawn asked, pointing to it. Mina ducked her head.
"A bruise," Mina said, "from when I ran into the door."
"You ditz," Jaiden said, laughing, "Are you going to be ok to read these out?" He held out the questions to her. Mina took them, sleepily yawning as she nodded.
"Ok, I might regret this, but I'm making you a coffee," Jaiden said. Jaiden walked into the kitchen. Mina tried to read over the first dare, her sleepy brain not quite understanding it. Jaiden returned with a steaming mug of coffee.
"It's a double shot," Jaiden explained as he handed it to her. Mina sculled the drink, not seeming to care that it was burning her throat. After she handed the cup back, her eyes instantly opened fully and she started to shake.
"What's wrong with her?" Dawn asked.
"Coffee," Jaiden said, "Mina can get a little hyper on coffee. I don't even know why I bothered with the double shot."
"I'm not hyper!" Mina yelled, suddenly very awake, "Ok first one for today."
From LegoMyEggoPokeshipper;
I really love the idea for this story! I love it! Here are my dares and truths.
Mina-Hug Jaiden for the entire chapter!
Jaiden-Every time Mina announces the truths and dares, kiss her on the lips (MWAHAHA)
May-Spin in circles until you puke! (I'M EVIL)
Drew-Clean up the eventual puke.
Ash-Admit which girl you think is the prettiest.
Misty-Sit on Ash's lap for the rest of the chapter.
Paul-Dance. Just Dance. Do it.
Dawn-Kiss Ash on the lips to see how jealous Misty gets (HEHEHEHE).
Mina and Jaiden blushed as they looked at each other.
"Does this one count?" Jaiden asked. Mina shook her head vigorously. Mina then got up, running around the room.
"What's she doing that for?" Ash asked.
"Getting rid of some energy," Jaiden said. Mina then jumped up and tackled Jaiden to the ground, putting her arms around him. Jaiden blushed and slowly picked them both up from the ground before putting his arms around her. Mina just started to giggle.
"So May, spin in circles and try not to make too much of a mess with your vomit," Mina said, "and Drew, you get the pleasant job of cleaning it up." Drew screwed up his nose, not exactly happy with that. May got up and started to spin around slowly.
"Faster than that May," Mina said, turning her head to look at her, "you won't get anywhere near puking like that." May groaned and started to spin faster.
"And look up," Mina commanded, "it makes you more dizzy." May did as she was told. She started to move around, not being able to stand in the same spot. Mina nodded in satisfaction.
"So Ash, who's the prettiest?" Mina asked. Ash blushed.
"I um...No I don't wanna answer that!" Ash exclaimed, "no matter what I say, someone will get upset or hurt me."
"I won't get offended," May said, still spinning.
"Neither will I," Dawn said. Mina tried to shrug, before remembering her arms were already occupied.
"I won't either," Mina said.
"That's good then," Ash said, "so as long as Misty doesn't hit me with her mallet for this, then it's ok. I think Misty's the prettiest." Misty blushed and fiddled with her ponytail.
"First, I still don't have my mallet back," Misty said, "and second, why on earth would I hit you for that?"
"I don't know Misty," Ash said, "but the last time I called you pretty, you looked like you were ready to hit me." Misty frowned, trying to think back before it clicked.
"Ok, I was on stage," Misty said, "and you weren't being serious about it so of course I was going to hit you." Ash was about to say something when they were interrupted by May rushing out to the bathroom. The sound of her vomiting was heard.
"I guess that completes both hers and my dares," Drew said, "She kinda cleaned it for me."
"You got off easy," Mina complained. May came back in, looking quite pale with a few beads of sweat on her forehead.
"That was horrible," May said, "and now I feel quite queasy with a horrible taste in my mouth." Drew softened and walked towards her with a handkerchief in his hand. His gently wiped her forehead and silently offered her a mint. May gratefully took it and put it in her mouth, already feeling a lot better.
"Ok Misty, it's your turn to sit in someone's lap," Mina said as May giggled slightly.
"Yay! It's not me!" May said. Drew felt slightly disappointed by this response, but didn't show it. Ash sat down on the couch and held his arms out, waiting patiently for Misty. Misty blushed and sat in Ash's lap, moving just a little so she was comfortable. Ash rested his arms loosely around her waist, making Misty's blush deepen. Mina started laughing.
"Paul, you have to dance," Mina said, through her giggles, "This I must see." Paul looked away.
"I can't dance," he muttered, "I don't know how." Dawn's eyes widened.
"I'll show you how," Dawn said. She walked up to Paul and grabbed his hands. She directed one of his hands to her waist and placed her now free hand on his shoulder. Paul blushed microscopically at the physical contact.
"Ok, now you're the guy so you have to lead me," Dawn said. Paul just stood, not sure what he should be doing. His eyes shifted around, trying to look anywhere but at her eyes. Dawn sighed heavily.
"Ok, think of a square on the ground ok?" Dawn said, "and we're in corner one." Paul shot her a rather confused look.
"Actually, Mina do you have any masking tape?" Dawn asked, letting Paul go.
"Try the cupboard," Mina said. Dawn nodded, and went to the cupboard, coming back out with a roll of masking tape. She stuck pieces onto the ground so that there were the numbers 1-4 in the shape of a square. She went back to Paul and resumed their positions.
"Ok, now we're in corner 1," Dawn said, "you step forwards to corner two with your right foot and I'll follow you." Paul did as he was told.
"Now put your left foot to corner three and then put take your right foot to corner three as well," Dawn instructed. Paul again did as he was told.
"Now your left foot goes back onto corner four," Dawn said. Paul cautiously put his foot back, trying not to lose his balance.
"And then your right foot goes back to corner one and your left leg follows," Dawn said. Paul did as he told.
"And you just keep doing that," Dawn said, "but you move your feet to my count." Dawn counted to three to demonstrate. Paul nodded, still not saying anything in his mild embarrassment.
"Ok, ready," Dawn said, "one, two , three, one, two, three." She continued to count slowly as Paul repeated the steps she told him. Mina reached out with one of her hands and played a soft waltz song, the room filling with the gentle sound of a piano and a flute. Paul, not expecting that, faltered for a moment.
"Hey," Dawn said softly, "just pay attention to my counting, not the music ok? It's just the same." Paul nodded again and they continued to dance, the rhythm a little faster than before. Dawn's counting faded out and they kept on dancing, Paul's head nodding slightly at he counted in his head. When the music finished Paul stopped and let go of Dawn, stepping a good distance away.
"Thanks," he muttered under his breath.
"Aww you guys, that was so cute," Mina cooed, stopping the next song from playing. Dawn blushed slightly and Paul looked away, refusing to let anyone see how embarrassed he was.
"And now we have to ruin the moment," Mina groaned, "because now Dawn, it's your turn for your dare. You know what you have to do." Dawn nodded and walked to where Misty and Ash were. Dawn awkwardly leaned around Misty, who crossed her arms, looking very unimpressed. Paul looked up in time to see Dawn light peck Ash on the lips. She moved away, blushing slightly while Ash wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Misty's face was all red and she was shooting glares at Dawn. Paul's fists clenched and unclenched as he refrained from trying to punch Ash. It wasn't his fault after all. His mouth was set in a tight straight line, the only other thing that showed his jealousy. No-one said anything about it, all focussed on Misty's reaction. Mina however noticed Paul's tenseness.
"Looks like Misty isn't the only jealous one," Mina sang. Everyone tilted their heads, confused to what she meant because Paul had returned to his neutral position by then, not showing any emotion at all. Mina giggled.
"Nothing," she said, grinning as she tried not to crack up, "onto the next one."
From Contestshipper16;
Hey, I have some truth and dares again, ha, ha, sorry! I just love the story (^_^)
May-I dare you to wear a super cute outfit. Don't tell Drew. It's a secret to see his reaction! XD
Drew- I dare you to do anything you can to have May's attention to yourself, but don't embarrass May too much.
Paul-Who did Dawn remind you of last chapter?
May-Another dare (If I can have two dares for a character. If not then choose which one you like best). I dare you to wear more of your strawberry lipstick and strawberry perfume! Time to torture Drew, ha, ha! :)
Mina-I dare you to have a girls night out with May, Misty and Dawn :)
Well, those are my dares and truths. I am really curious to what Paul said.
ANICA OUT LATESSSSSS!
Jaiden blushed and leaned down, quickly pecking Mina on the lips; who also blushed. Mina snapped her fingers, getting an idea.
"I have the perfect thing for you May and we can do both your dares at once," Mina said. She let go of Jaiden and pulled May into the dressing room. Giggling was heard from inside. Mina came back out again after, smelling faintly of strawberries. She went back to hugging Jaiden. Mina smirked as May timidly stepped out. The strong scent of strawberries filled the air as May walked around the room. She was wearing a short pleated red skirt with golden sequins sewed onto it. Underneath her skirt, she was wearing red biker shorts. Her cap sleeved top was red as well with a sweetheart neckline. More golden sequins were stitched over the top. She wore strappy red sandals on her feet. Instead of her bandana, she wore a strawberry leaf shaped beanie. Her cheeks were dusted with red blush powder and her lips were coated with pink strawberry lip gloss. Drew's eyes widened as he looked at her. She looked like a strawberry.
"So, now Drew, you get to do whatever you want to get May's attention all to yourself," Mina said. Drew smirked and backed May against a wall, trapping her there by pushing her wrists to the wall as well. May stared into Drew's eyes, utterly shocked at his actions.
"Got her attention," Drew said, his smirk growing. On the outside, Drew looked calm and controlled, but on the inside, he was fighting to keep control. The scent of strawberries was already getting to him and he was desperately trying not to think about her strawberry flavoured lips.
"So then Paul," Mina said, "I'm dying to know. Who was it that Dawn reminds you of?" Paul grimaced slightly.
"She reminds me of my best friend," Paul said quietly.
"I didn't know you had a best friend," Ash said.
"That's so mean," Misty gasped, reaching back and smacking his head.
"I don't anymore," Paul said, stiffening.
"What do you mean?" Dawn asked softly. Paul sighed heavily.
"She was younger than me. 2 years younger than me. She had thick black hair. Her eyes were big and dark blue. She was a joy. So bubbly and bright and always laughing or smiling," Paul said, "She was so innocent and cute. Everyone loved her. Who wouldn't? I loved her more than anything. Out of all the people, she grew the most attached to me, even more than her own brother. She was the joy in my life." Paul's hand clenched and unclenched as his face contorted into a scowl.
"She was too young," Paul said, "she was only five. She had wandered off after climbing over the gate. We all went looking for her, both my family and hers. When I finally found her, it was too late. She was in the middle of the road. I ran to get her, but before I could do anything, a car come around the corner at a much too fast pace. It hit her." Dawn started to tear up. Misty looked down at her hands. Ash gave Paul a sympathetic look. Drew's grip on May loosened and then dropped. May didn't even realize; she was too busy trying to hold in her emotions. Mina tucked her head into Jaiden's chest and started to shake. Jaiden bit his lip and tightened his grip on the girl in his arms, trying to provide her with some sort of comfort. Paul's hands started to shake.
"I picked her up, truly scared. By the time I found everyone else, she had died in my arms," Paul said, his voice cracking slightly, "turns out the driver of the car was drunk. He was caught and sent to prison, but I will never get her back."
"Troublesome reminds me of her," he continued, "in a lot of ways. She has a similar personality, but most of all, she has the same sort of eyes. Only she's not her. I know that." Dawn reached out and gently touched Paul's shoulder. Paul tensed slightly at her touch before relaxing again. Drew, seeing May's turmoil of her not-so-hidden emotions put an arm of comfort around her shoulder. Ash tightened his grip on Misty and rested her forehead against her back. Everyone turned to look at Mina, thinking she was going to continue. They were shocked to see that she was openly crying.
"What's wrong with Mina?" May asked.
"Mina had to go through something similar, with one of her best friends at the time," Jaiden explained, "It was pretty recent compared to Paul's and she's still pretty raw from it." Jaiden soothingly rubbed circles on her back as her gently hushed her. A few minutes later, Mina wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, offering Jaiden another weak smile of thanks.
"I guess I'd better do the next one then," Mina said, "a girl's day out. I have no idea what to do."
"We could go to the spa," Dawn suggested, "and get manicures while dipping are feet in a hot foot bath." Mina nodded thoughtfully before letting go of Jaiden. The girls all headed out, leaving the boys by themselves.
*Time skip because I really can't be bothered to write exactly what happened.*
The girls came back in, giggling and blushing. You could guess what they were talking about. If you can't, it had something to do with four certain boys, who were currently playing a game of super smash brothers brawl (suggestion of Jaiden since no-one really wanted anything to play anything too heavy or graphic). Each girl had differently coloured nails. Dawn's were a dark fuchsia with little diamantes at the tips. Misty's were a shimmery mid-blue with silver droplet stickers at the base of her nails. May's were dark sparkly red with golden specks all across them; much like her strawberry outfit. Mina's nails were done in a variety of blues and greens with pieces of sparkles so it looked a lot like dragon scales. Mina put her hands on her hips and coughed loudly, trying to get the boys attention. Jaiden held up his hand to her without taking his eyes off the screen. Mina waited unto the suspense had built up until there were only two of them left before she pulled the plug from the wall. The TV went black as the power went off and all the boys groaned in annoyance and frustration.
"Ok, as much as I know you want to finish this," Mina said, "we need to keep going." The boys all grumpily put their controllers away. Ash sat on the couch again, crossing his arms as he waited for Misty to sit back in his lap. Paul went onto a different couch, complaining about something. Drew pouted at seeing May paying more attention to her nails than him. Jaiden sat down on yet another different couch as Mina cuddled up next to him, blushing as she did so. The others though, tried to keep in their laughter. Mina and Jaiden looked like a couple; snuggling on the couch together, Mina still wearing Jaiden's jumper.
From AdorbleSkitty;
Yes, I have some.
May-I dare you to sit for the whole chapter on Drew's lap again (you're welcome Drew) because it was so cute!
May-Do you have a crush on anyone?
Drew- Do you know a guy named Sid from your hometown? What would you do is you knew that he crushed on your May?
Drew-Kiss a girl in the room (has to be on the lips-no excuse!). You can pick who it is.
Drew-Tell us the true meaning about the rose you gave to May, oh sorry, I mean her Beautifly *cough* what a lame excuse *cough*
Ash-What's your favourite cake flavour?
Ash-I dare you to share whichever cake you choose with Misty, like a date if you know what that is.
Misty-Explain to Ash what a date is, since he certainly won't know.
Well, these are my ideas. I hope you use some of them. And I want to give you this lie detector for your truth and dare story, so they won't be able to lie again ;)
Jaiden quickly kissed Mina on the lips again, making her again go bright red. A little black box with two lights on it appeared in Mina's hands, distracting her.
"Yay!" Mina exclaimed, "Thanks for the lie detector. Now I need to figure out how this works. Ash, tell a lie."
"Why me?" Ash whined, "What do I say?"
"Say something ridiculous," Mina said, "just lie."
"Um…I licked Pikachu's nose," Ash said. The left light lit up blue.
"I sure hope that was a lie," Mina said, "now say a truth."
"I ate breakfast this morning," Ash said, knowing everyone knew this was true. The light lit up blue again. Mina looked at Ash.
"You licked Pikachu's nose?" Mina questioned, "Eww."
"I did?" Ash questioned, "oh yeah, I did."
"Why?" Mina asked, screwing up her nose, "that's just disgusting."
"Someone told me that Pikachu's nose needed to be damp," Ash said, "and Pikachu's nose was dry. And so I was told that it was unhealthy for him to be like that and I should lick it to get it back to a healthy state." The light went blue.
"Who told you that?" Misty asked.
"Gary," Ash admitted. Blue again.
"You idiot!" Misty exclaimed, reaching back and hitting Ash over the head with her fist, "you shouldn't believe Gary that easily. He uses your gullibility to his advantage."
"I'm not gullible," Ash protested. The right light on the lie detector lit up orange.
"I think you're lying," Mina teased. Ash crossed his arms again, pulling a sulky face.
"So May, you have to go sit in lover boy's lap again," Mina said.
"Lover boy again?" Drew questioned, "Are we really going to call me that again?"
"Yep," Mina said, "now sit down so May can sit in your lap." Drew sat down on the couch. May's face lit up and she sat in Drew's lap, holding out her arms expectantly. Drew quickly wrapped his arms around her as Mina shook her head.
"No cookie this time May," Mina said. May pouted and crossed her arms, completely ignoring Drew, to his frustration. Truthfully, he was enjoying having a strawberry May in his lap, not that he would ever admit it out loud, but he also wanted her attention.
"You could've told me this first," May complained.
"Oops," Mina said sarcastically, "now May, do you have a crush on anybody, remembering that I have a lie detector." May blushed.
"Yes I do," May admitted quietly. The light glowed blue. Drew frowned, feeling slightly hurt and jealous at this.
"Who?" Mina asked with a sly smirk. May blushed even further.
"I'm not saying," May said stubbornly, "it never said I had to tell you who it was."
"Ok Drew, your questions," Mina said.
"Sid," Drew repeated; a thoughtful look on his face, "Sid? Oh right Sid. Yes I know him. He's an ok-Wait! What?! He's crushing on May?! You know, I really don't like Sid." Drew scowled, but May couldn't see his jealous face. The lie detector flashed blue, then orange then blue again.
"I can't tell which part of that answer was a lie," Mina said, looking at the box confused, "I think it was the part about Sid having a crush on May. Obviously he doesn't have a crush on May anymore." Drew looked slightly relieved at that.
"Who's Sid?" May asked.
"Don't you remember May?" Ash asked, "Sid's the guy we met with Rafe in LaRousse who kept on flirting with you."
"Oh him," May said, "He was an ok guy. Why don't you like him Drew?"
"Um…" Drew faltered, knowing that the lie detector would pick up if he lied.
"Never mind," May said, "he's in your hometown. You probably know him better than I do. You must have your own reasons." Drew silently let out a relieved breath.
"Oh la, la, and now Drew has to pick a girl to kiss on the lips," Mina said, finishing it with a wolf whistle. Drew blushed lightly. He silently debated what he should do in his head. Eventually he gave in to one idea, the thought of May's strawberry lips was too tempting. He slowly turned May to face him. She blushed furiously. He put one arm around her waist. May gasped as he pressed her against him tightly. With the other hand, he lifted her chin. He slowly lowered his head. On instinct, May unconsciously tilted her head slightly. Drew smirked at seeing her reaction. He slowly and softly pressed his lips against hers, letting them linger for just a moment before pulling away.
"Wow," May breathed, "Drew's a good kisser." Drew smirked at her again and let her turn around and sit comfortably in his lap again. He licked his lips, tasting the strawberry flavour of the lip gloss that had transferred itself to his mouth. He did it again, getting slightly addicted to it, until there was no more flavour left. Being slightly disappointed there was nothing left; Drew was almost tempted to kiss her again…Almost. May shook her head, finally snapping out of her daze.
"I mean, not that I had anything else to compare against," she added.
"That was your first real kiss?" Drew asked. May nodded shyly.
"Arceus I didn't want to steal your first kiss," he said, "I'm sorry May."
"It's ok Drew," she said softly, "it happened and it's not like we can change it now. There's no point getting worked up about it." In thanks for not hitting him for stealing her first kiss, Drew comfortably put his arms around her middle, nuzzling his face into the side of her neck.
"Well that was interesting," Mina coughed, "so Drew, I have a lie detector. Tell us the real reason for the roses."
"Red roses mean congratulations," Drew said without hesitation, "They can also mean respect and courage." Mina looked at the lie detector. It lit up blue.
"What?" Mina exclaimed, "Aww. That's not what I thought." Drew smirked.
"What did you think they meant?" May asked.
"Never mind," Mina said, "so Ash. What's your favourite cake flavour?" Ash licked his lips.
"My favourite flavour is actually really simple," Ash said, "honey comb and chocolate with whipped cream, strawberries and marshmallows." Mina uncurled herself from Jaiden, going into the kitchen. After a while she came back out with the exact cake Ash had described. Ash's mouth started watering and he licked his lips again.
"This is for you Ash," Mina said, "But you have to share it with Misty as a date. Oh and Misty, explain what a date is to Ash since he probably won't know."
"I know what a date is," Ash protested.
"What is it then?" Mina challenged.
"It's the day of the month as a number," Ash said triumphantly. Misty smacked her hand to her face.
"Ash, this is a different type of date," Misty said, "It's when two people go out together romantically."
"I knew that as well," Ash said, crossing his arms. Mina looked at the lie detector. Surprisingly it lit up blue.
"Wow, he really did know," Mina said. Mina nodded to Jaiden. He got up and went to his laptop, furiously typing on the keys. Before anyone could say anything else, the room changed. The lights dimmed and soft romantic music filled the air. The couches were moved back so that everyone was at the edges of the room. A table was put into the centre of the room. It was set for two and a small jar of flowers was in the middle. Mina put the cake on the table.
"There you are Ash," Mina said, "all set up for you." She went back over to Jaiden and put her arms around him, slightly annoyed at her own dare, but interested to see what Ash would do. Ash and Misty slowly got up and sat at the table. Ash licked his lips hungrily and picked up the plate with the cake, intending to show it all in his mouth at once. He stopped when he noticed that Misty was looking at him. He slowly lowered the plate. He picked up a knife and cut a single piece from the cake, putting it on a separate plate. He then pushed the whole cake (minus the slice) to Misty as he picked up the single slice. He slowly ate the slice, trying to be as neat as possible. Misty just stared at the cake, wondering what had possessed Ash to not only share his favourite cake, but to offer her the larger portion AND eat so nicely. Misty still hadn't touched the cake by the time Ash had finished. His tongue darted out to lick his lips. He looked from Misty to the cake.
"Aren't you going to eat it Misty?" he asked eventually.
"I…um…maybe?" Misty said, totally flustered as Ash's behaviour. Ash licked his lips.
"It's good," Ash offered. Misty tentatively cut a piece from the cake and put it in her mouth, very aware that Ash was watching every single one of her movements. Misty's face lit up as she found it did taste really good. She cut half of what was left, devouring it almost as fast as Ash would have done. She licked her lips and sighed in content. She pushed the plate towards Ash.
"You have the rest," she said, "I can't eat anymore." Ash shot her a goofy, but grateful smile and shoved the rest of the cake into his mouth. His tongue darted out once again to lick his lips.
"Ok, now you're all done," Mina said. Jaiden typed onto his keyboard again and the room returned back to normal. Ash went back to the couch and patted his lap for Misty to sit down again. She blushed, but sat in his lap again.
"This next one is a long one," Mina said, "it goes over 8."
"We'll just count it as two," Jaiden said. Mina nodded.
CartoonGurl201m
I have a truth and a dare for all characters!
May-Did you enjoy flirting with the guys? Or was it just so you could make Drew jealous?
Drew-Did you enjoy having May sit on your lap?
Misty-Do you have anger issues? It looks like that to me (and Ash I bet).
Ash-If you caught a Tentacool, what would you do with it?
Dawn-Did you ever like Ash? Why or why not?
Paul-Do you love your hair? If so, is it as bad as Drew's obsession?
May-I dare you to shred that picture you have of Drew.
Drew-I dare you to put on the pooffiest, pinkest, girliest dress that Mina can find.
Misty-You have to wear a bathing suit until the chapter is over.
Ash-You have to sit next to Misty on a love seat til the end of the chapter.
Dawn-I dare you to speak EVERYTHING on your mind.
Paul-I dare you to lie your head down in Dawn's lap and let her play with your hair.
Please put them in your chapter!
Jaiden blushed and kissed Mina on the lips for a fraction longer than the last one. Mina suddenly burst out laughing. She stepped away from Jaiden slightly and held his hands in hers and spun them both around.
"What's wrong with her?" Dawn asked, very much confused by Mina's strange behaviour.
"Coffee," Jaiden said, "told you she would get a little crazy." Mina continued to laugh hysterically and spin around with Jaiden.
"Aren't you dizzy yet?" May asked, "don't go for too long, you'll get sick."
"I don't get dizzy!" Mina exclaimed.
"But I do," Jaiden said, "please stop." Mina dropped Jaiden's hands and started spinning by herself. She looked up at the roof and gradually increased her speed. Unlike May, she was spinning very fast and she was staying in one spot.
"Stop Mina!" Dawn said, "You'll get sick!" Mina stopped.
"Are you sure you aren't dizzy?" Ash asked, somewhat stunned.
"Nope," Mina giggled.
"Prove it," Misty challenge. Mina walked around, perfectly straight with no wobbles. She laughed and then ran back to Jaiden.
"Ok Mina calm down," Jaiden said, putting his hands on her shoulders, "we need to do this." Mina nodded and hugged Jaiden again.
"So May, did you like flirting with the guys?" Jaiden asked, realizing Mina was too hyperactive to ask a sensible question.
"Well," May started, "I'm not used to doing that sort of thing. I guess it was fun." The lie detector lit up blue.
"You never said whether you were trying to make Drew jealous or not," Jaiden said.
"I was not trying to make Drew jealous!" May exclaimed. The lie detector lit up orange. Jaiden raised his eyebrows at May, who started blushing.
"Ok maybe I was," May admitted, "just a little bit. Drew's funny when he's jealous." Blue light.
"Drew did you like May in your lap?" Jaiden asked.
"I guess so," Drew said, shrugging, "she keeps me warm, like a blanket. But I don't like it when she moves. It's uncomfortable." Blue light. May smirked (again? Too much Drew influence) and purposely started to wriggle. Drew rolled his eyes, locking May in his embrace so she couldn't move anymore. May pouted.
"So Misty, do you have anger issues?" Mina asked, finally getting control of herself again.
"Yeah Misty," Ash agreed.
"Ash!" Misty yelled, "I DO NOT HAVE ANGER ISSUES!" Ash covered his ears and winced. The light on the lie detector went orange.
"Ok, maybe I do have anger issues," Misty admitted, "but that's not my fault! I tried to control it, honestly, but it ends up getting worse."
"What would you do with a Tentacool Ash?" Mina asked, before anyone could work Misty up again.
"Train it and evolve it I guess," Ash said, "What any other trainer would do." Ash paused for a second.
"Oh I know what I would do with it!" Ash exclaimed, "I could give it to Misty! Yeah! She loves water Pokémon!" Misty blushed slightly.
"Cute," Mina cooed, giggling a little again, "and Dawn, your turn. Any romantic feelings towards Ash?"
"Actually, no I haven't," Dawn said, "He's not really my type. I mean, yeah he is kinda cute, but he's more like the annoying older brother I never asked for."
"Hey!" Ash exclaimed and then blushed, "wait, you thought I was cute?" Paul glared at Ash for a split second before returning to his neutral face.
"Well, yes," Dawn said, "you have some features that a lot of girls would find attractive. I bet Misty, May and even Mina thought the same when they first met you. Right girls?" Misty blushed furiously, not saying anything.
"Nah," Mina said, "I don't find brown hair and brown eyes that cute." Drew turned to look at May's reaction. She blushed furiously.
"I initially thought he was kinda cute," May admitted, "but nothing else! Like Dawn said, Ash is like an annoying older brother you would never ask for." Drew shot his own glare at Ash, who was rather confused at the looks he was getting from both Paul and Drew. Mina sniggered at the jealousy that was showing on both boys' faces.
"Ok Paul, I want to know," Mina said, snapping Paul from his jealousy glare, "Do you love your hair?"
"I hate it," Paul muttered, "it isn't natural."
"You dye your hair?" Dawn questioned, "Why purple? Why would you do that if you hate it?"
"I don't dye it!" Paul exclaimed, "I hate hair dye. Never would touch the stuff."
"Then how is your hair not natural?" May said, very confused.
"Well, it's half natural," Paul said.
"What do you mean?" Mina asked.
"Well, I was born with it, but the way I got it wasn't natural," Paul said.
"That doesn't make any sense either!" Mina exclaimed. Paul sighed.
"My great grandfather was caught in a chemical explosion while he was testing genetic properties," Paul explained, "it caused the dominant hair gene to be purple in my family and so ever since then, all males in my family have turned out with purple hair because the genetic properties were changed."
"Oh, I get it now," Mina said, "it's natural because you were born with it, but not natural because it was chemically changed. Wow, that's extreme. Is that why Drew's hair is green as well?" Drew glared at Mina.
"No," he hissed, "my hair is completely natural. No genetic mishap. I'm no result of a chemical explosion." May reached around and ruffled Drew's hair with her hand.
"I like your hair green," May said, trying to give him some comfort, "I wouldn't be able to call you grasshead if you had any other colour."
"And I couldn't call you airhead if you weren't so dense," Drew replied.
"Yeah," May agreed.
"So you finally agree that you're a dense airhead?" Drew questioned, a smirk reappearing on his face.
"What?" May shrieked, "No! I'm not an airhead!"
"Sorry May," Mina said, "you have to shred that picture of Drew with black hair."
"Yes!" Drew exclaimed.
"That's ok," May said, "I already sent it to Solidad and Harley. I'll just ask them to resend it to me." She got off Drew's lap with some struggle against his arms and took her camera in her hands. She went to the photo, giggling slightly and then deleted it. Mina went over to May and whispered the second part of May's dare into her ear.
Take another photo while he's doing his dare.
May giggled.
"Ok Drew, get up," Mina said. Drew stood up.
"I have the perfect thing for your dare," Mina said, pushing him into the dressing room, "put it on." Inside Drew looked at the outfit waiting for him and his jaw dropped.
"I'M NOT PUTTING THIS ON!" he yelled.
"It's a dare Drew," Mina said, giggling. She nudged May. May stood at the door, the camera held up ready.
"Put it on Drew!" Mina commanded, "And you have to come out and show everyone." There was a scuffling sound as Drew changed.
"Arceus," Drew muttered, "This thing is uncomfortable and really awkward."
"You got it on Drew?" Mina asked.
"Yes," Drew grumbled.
"Then come out," Mina said.
"I swear I'm NOT coming out of this room like this," Drew called.
"You come out," Mina threatened, "or I will get Ninetales to use flamethrower on the door and then on you." The door handle slowly turned.
"You better not laugh!" Drew yelled. He came out, crossing his arms and not looking impressed. He was blushing furiously at his outfit. The room went quiet. Drew was wearing a hot pink dress with a multilayer skirt that only went down to his knees. The bodice was sparkly and had sequins over it. The thin shoulder straps barely went over his broad shoulders. The dress had a sweetheart neckline, and Drew didn't quite…uh…fill out the top part of it. A line of pink fluff was around his waist and at the edge of the dress. Coming from the back of the dress was a pair of sparkly pink fairy wings. Mina sniggered and put a tiara on his head and a wand in his hand before she moved away. May's camera flashed as she took a picture and then the room erupting in laughter. Drew groaned, his male pride being totally destroyed as everyone, including Paul, laughed at him. May, Misty, Dawn and Ash were laughing so hard, they were doubled over. Jaiden was laughing so hard he was choking. Paul was even laughing, not quite as hard, but he was still laughing. Mina though, due to having coffee that morning, was in hysterics; rolling on the ground and clutching her stomach. Drew flicked his hair, trying to cover up how utterly embarrassed he was, but he ended up looking even more stupid. Drew went back into the change room and shut the door, locking it. No-one even heard him as he changed back. After 15 minutes, the laughter died down, except for Mina who was still laughing and rolling on the floor. Jaiden moved and grabbed Mina's wrists, stopping her from moving anymore.
"Settle down Mina ok?" Jaiden said. Mina stopped moving completely and so Jaiden let go of one of her wrists, moving it to cover her mouth. Mina slowly settled down until Jaiden could eventually move away from her.
"Drew, you can come out now," May called, putting her camera where Drew wouldn't find it, "We've stopped laughing now."
"I'm not coming out," Drew yelled.
"I'll get Ninetales to bust the door open," Mina said.
"I don't care!" Drew yelled, "I'm not coming out."
"His male pride has been broken into millions of tiny pieces and scattered into the wind," Jaiden said.
"Not my fault," Mina said, "it was a dare."
"Come on Drew," May pleaded, "come on out."
"No!" Drew yelled stubbornly, "I'll never be able to show my face without someone laughing!" May stopped, getting an idea. She sniffed loudly and made her face drop into a sad expression. She sniffed again.
"May?" Drew questioned. May let a few fake tears fall down her face.
"You won't come out!" May wailed, fake crying. She sank to the ground. Mina nodded, looking impressed at both May's idea and her acting skills. Drew tentatively opened the door. He saw May 'crying' and instantly felt guilty. He knelt down next to her.
"May, what's wrong?" he asked. May sniffed.
"You didn't come out," May said, continueing to act. She was enjoying seeing Drew flustered and concerned about her.
"Stop crying May," Drew begged, "please stop. I'm out. Stop crying! It's ok!"
"Ok," May said, wiping away the fake tears and smiling. Drew looked utterly shocked and May giggled at his expression.
"I was faking," she explained. Drew's face turned bright red from embarrassment. May took his hand, turning Drew's face even redder if that was even possible and pulled him to the couch. She pushed him gently and he sat down. May then comfortably sat in his lap. Drew hid his face in her hair, thoroughly mortified by now.
"So Misty, bathing suit," Mina said, pointing to the dressing room. Misty glared.
"Shouldn't you be hugging Jaiden?" Misty shot back. Mina blinked. Realizing she was right, she ran over to where Jaiden was and flung her arms around him dramatically.
"Now go," Mina said, "and then you have to sit back in Ash's lap." Misty pouted before going into the bathroom. Scuffling sounded as Misty changed and then she stepped out, crossing her arms unhappily. She was wearing a green and yellow striped bikini. Over the top was a short skirt to match. She went over to Ash, who was staring at her.
"Quit staring!" Misty yelled, smacking him over the head with her fist.
"Never mind about sitting in Ash's lap," Mina said, "Ash has to sit with you in the love seat." Misty and Ash both blushed. Jaiden once again typed on his laptop. One of the couched flipped down into the floor, a red velvet one replacing it. It had heart shaped pillows all over it. Ash and Misty blushed again. They both went over to it and sat down, trying to be as far away from each other as possible.
"Alright," Mina said, "Dawn, you have to say everything on your mind. Now sit at the end of that couch." Mina pointed at a long three seater couch. Dawn sat on the end.
"Why do I have to sit here?" Dawn said.
"Paul you lie down on the couch with your head in Dawn's lap," Mina said giggling, "and Dawn gets to play with your hair."
"I have to play with Paul's hair?" Dawn squeaked. Paul grunted and lay down on the couch, tentatively putting his head down in her lap.
"Oh my Arceus!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Are you saying what's on your mind Dawn?" Mina asked suspiciously.
"That is what's on my mind," Dawn snapped, "oh my Arceus! Do I really have to play with his hair?"
"Just do it," Mina hissed. Dawn ruffled her hand through Paul's hair.
"Wow, it's softer than I thought," Dawn said. Paul looked up at Dawn for a moment. He settled himself down more and then closed his eyes.
"Are you asleep Paul?" Dawn asked. Paul didn't respond.
"You hair is really nice," Dawn said, "I can't believe you said you hate it. I like it. I like it a lot, even the colour. This is really relaxing actually Paul. Do you know that? No of course you don't, you're asleep, silly me. But I still love your hair. And if it weren't for this stupid dare, I wouldn't be saying this out loud, but you're asleep so it doesn't matter." Paul's lips twitched and slowly curled into a small, almost non-existent smile.
"I see you smiling Paul," Dawn said, "stop pretending to be asleep. I know you're awake now. Aren't you going to say anything?"
"I'll say the last dares for tonight," Mina said.
From Debapriya;
Ash-Take Misty on a date.
Paul-Propose to Dawn.
Jaiden put his hand at the back of Mina's neck and very slowly leaned towards her. Mina giggled and pushed her fingers over his lips. Jaiden looked somewhat confused. Mina screwed up her nose.
"Don't," she said.
"What?" Jaiden asked.
"I don't know how many germs are on your lips," Mina said. Jaiden blinked and then started laughing.
"You didn't care the other three times," Jaiden said. Mina tilted her head and tapped her chin with her finger, trying to remember if she actually didn't care. Jaiden took this as a chance and quickly swooped down, pushing his lips firmly against hers. Mina's eyes widened, but before she could do anything, Jaiden stepped away, laughing at her reaction.
"Just do the dares," Jaiden suggested. Mina nodded.
"We'll do Paul's first," Mina said.
"You know we're only 16?" Paul questioned.
"You know it's just a fake one," Mina said, shoving a little black box into his hands. Paul peeked inside to see a real silver ring, studded with a pink crystal surrounded by smaller round sapphires.
"How on earth am I supposed to fake a proposal with a real ring?" Paul asked. Mina rolled her eyes.
"Just go propose," Mina said, pushing him off the couch. He fell off and shot a glare at Mina, who only giggled in response; not the least bit threatened by his fierce look.
"Troublesome," Paul started.
"Oh come on Paul," Mina said, "you're faking a proposal. At least say her real name."
"I never call her anything but troublesome," Paul said stubbornly.
"Why?" Mina asked.
"Not answering that," Paul muttered, "now just let me get this over with." Mina sniggered and Paul ignored her. Paul got down on one knee, opening the box and offering it to Dawn.
"Marry me?" he grunted. Before Dawn could say anything, Paul got up again and threw the ring box across the room, it slamming into the wall with surprising force.
"There done," he said. Mina frowned at the small hole the box had created.
"That was one, very unromantic," Mina said, "two, you didn't wait for a reply and three, why'd you go and put a hole in the wall!"
"It was only fake," Paul said, "Who really cares?"
"Mina does," Jaiden said, "She loves cute romantic things."
"Yeah, yeah and I also like a vast variety of weapons too," Mina said, "you don't have to tell everyone everything I like."
"Weapons?" Ash questioned, looking slightly nervous.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"Mina has a sword, a stiletto blade, a machete knife, throwing axes," Jaiden said, counting them off on his fingers, "but you had better watch out for her bow and arrow. She's got a deadly accurate aim. You're probably lucky she decided not to bring them. She can be pretty fearsome."
"Why'd you have to go and tell them about that?" Mina whined, "It's just for self-defence. Anyway, Paul you have to put your head back on Dawn's lap and Dawn you haven't said anything on your mind for a while now."
"I was going to," Dawn huffed, "but you never gave me a chance. And no, I will not say anything that I've been thinking before because I cannot remember exactly what I was thinking." Paul grunted and Dawn found his head back in her lap.
"Yay!" Dawn exclaimed, blushing as she ruffled his hair, "I get to play with Paul's hair again." The ghost of a smile made its way onto Paul's face and he closed his eyes.
"Well, Misty and Ash have to go on a date now," Mina said. Ash got up, grabbing Misty's hand and started to drag her out.
"I know where we can go," Ash said.
"Wait!" Misty exclaimed, "I'm in a swimsuit!" The door shut behind Ash as he pulled her out of the studio.
"Well, Jaiden and I are going to go watch what happens," Mina said, "Sorry you guys, you have to stay here and keep doing your dares."
"Well if you are out of this room then who says we won't get up?" May challenged. Mina threw a Pokéball into the air, releasing the Ninetales inside.
"Ninetales, make sure that these guys don't get up," Mina commanded, "you can use an attack on them if they do." Ninetales got down in a guard position, warily eyeing Paul, Dawn, May then Drew. Mina and Jaiden went into Jaiden's room where he furiously typed at the keyboard. A small flying robot was dispersed and it followed Ash and Misty, giving Mina and Jaiden view to their date.
"What are you thinking about Paul?" Dawn asked Paul, "I really want to know. I can't believe that I have to say this out loud, but that's what I'm thinking of. I wonder what's going on in your head right now."
On the screen Mina and Jaiden were watching, Ash had just dragged Misty into a little café.
"They serve really good cakes here," Ash said to Misty. People looked at Misty, wondering why she was wearing bathers, and Misty blushed furiously.
"You're so fascinating," Dawn said to Paul, "so mysterious. If I didn't have to say everything out loud, you'd never know this, but I think you're interesting. I want to know more about you, but you never open up to me about anything."
Ash ignored all the people looking at Misty and sat down in at one of the tables, beckoning Misty to join him.
Mina giggled as Misty; still blushing furiously went to sit opposite Ash. Jaiden rolled his eyes at her.
"I want to know," Dawn said, "and right now, I don't even think you're listening to me anymore, but I want to know you Paul."
"What do you want Misty?" Ash asked, "I'll get you anything."
"Um…Do you think that maybe I could pass?" Misty asked, hoping that if she didn't eat anything they could get out sooner. Ash frowned.
"But Misty," Ash complained, "you have to get something or it won't be a date." Misty blushed at the word date.
Jaiden and Mina both sniggered at their couple-like behaviour.
"Why don't you talk to me Paul?" Dawn asked, "Why don't you let anyone know what's going on?"
"Ash!" Misty hissed, "I'm in a bikini. I really just want to get out of here and have people stop staring at me." Ash looked her over like he'd only just remembered.
"Right," he said, "here." He slipped his vest/jacket over his head and passed it to her.
"Use that to cover yourself a bit," Ash explained. Misty's face was bright red as she pulled it on, feeling a little less exposed.
Mina giggled again as she watched the cake get placed on their table. Misty looked completely flabbergasted to Ash eating so polite again and Mina found her expression hilarious! And it was only amplified by the caffeine.
"Will you ever let me know?" Dawn asked, "Will you ever let me get close to you?"
"Let's go Ash," Misty begged, seeing that Ash had finished. Ash nodded and took her hand, starting to led her back.
"Quick Mina!" Jaiden exclaimed, "They're coming back!"
"You have to get back your little robot thingy first," Mina said.
"And you're still asleep," Dawn muttered, "you know, you're actually pretty cute when you sleep. You look so peaceful. Why can't we see more of this on you huh?" Dawn looked up as Mina and Jaiden hustled back into the room, trying to look natural, but totally failing. Paul opened his eyes and smiled slightly at Dawn. He reached up and tapped her on the shoulder. Dawn looked down.
"You're awake now!" Dawn exclaimed.
"I've been awake the whole time troublesome," Paul said, "I heard everything you said." Dawn blushed furiously and opened her mouth, but she didn't get to say anything because at that moment Ash and Misty came back in. Mina called back her Ninetales and tried to pull an innocent face. Ash turned to Misty, looking expectant. Misty shrugged off his jacket and gave it back.
"Thanks for letting me use your jacket," Misty said.
"And…" Ash pushed, taking his jacket.
"What?" Misty asked. Ash pouted.
"This is the part where you say, 'thanks Ash for taking me out, I had a good time' or something like that," Ash complained, "That's how all the other dates finish." Misty rolled her eyes.
"Thank for taking e out Ash," she said, mimicking him, "I had a good time." Ash grinned and then frowned, looking a little annoyed.
"What now?" Misty asked.
"You forgot something," he whined. He turned to the side and tapped his cheek. Misty blushed.
"W-what?" she stuttered.
"You have to kiss me Misty," Ash complained, "It's part of the date."
"Actually there's no rule to say that I have to kiss you," Misty grumbled, but she leaned up and quickly pecked his cheek. Ash grinned. Mina coughed awkwardly, making both Ash and Misty blush.
"Well," Mina drawled out, "that's it for this episode of truth or dare so you can all go back to your-" She was cut off by the sounds of doors closing as everyone raced to their rooms.
"…Rooms," Mina finished. She pouted and crossed her arms.
"Why did everyone run away?" she whined, "I bet it because you told them about all my weapons." She pointed an accusing finger at Jaiden. Jaiden chuckled and used is hands to lower her hand by her side.
"They're just embarrassed," Jaiden said, "it was a pretty embarrassing episode. Now you, go to bed and try to get some sleep after that double shot of coffee." Mina nodded and went into her room. Jaiden turned off the lights and did the same. Soon the only sounds in the studio were steady breathing, the occasional snore…and the sounds of Mina tossing and turning as she tried to sleep with a vast amount of caffeine still in her system.
A/N: Well, I guess I gotta say, I actually did run into a door recently. It was dark and I didn't see it! So I had to go the whole day with a blue/purple bruise line down my face much like Mina at the start. And in case you haven't figured out, Mina doesn't handle coffee very well. That goes for me too, but this is Mina we are focused on. That's just so you know why Mina is really crazy...Oh, one more thing! Please feel free to contribute still. I'm sure at least some of you have some embarrassing ideas for dares or truths. So PM me with them and I'll see where I can fit them in. Thanks again.
