"Hey Mina, wake up," Jaiden said, shaking her shoulder gently.
"Wha?" Mina questioned sleepily, opening her eyes. She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes. She looked around, noticing that she was in the main room and everyone was looking at her.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" she asked.
"They're all wondering what you're doing in here," Jaiden said, giving her a certain look.
"Don't tell me!" Mina exclaimed in horror. Jaiden nodded and Mina groaned.
"What?" May asked, "I'm confused."
"Of course you are airhead," Drew said. May pouted.
"I'm not an airhead," she protested. Mina got up and went into her room to change, blushing with embarrassment. Everyone turned to look at Jaiden.
"What was that about?" Ash asked, "Why was she sleeping here?"
"She's kinda embarrassed by it," Jaiden replied, "I'll let her tell you when she comes back." Mina soon came back in, dressed, squealing and jumping around. She grabbed Jaiden's hands and spun around.
"Mina calm down," Jaiden said, trying to slow down their spinning, "what's gotten you so excited? You didn't have coffee did you?"
"No," Mina said, laughing and letting him go suddenly. Jaiden, not expecting it, stumbled back and almost fell over as Mina giggled.
"What has got you in such a good mood?" Jaiden asked.
"It's the fifth day," Mina squealed, "It means I get to do an extra set of dares." May, Drew, Paul, Ash, Dawn and Misty all groaned as Mina giggled again.
"Oh yeah Mina," Ash said, "why were you out here?"
"I occasionally sleep walk," Mina said, blushing, "but enough about that, let's start." She picked up the first piece of paper.
From YellowDragonMuffin;
I love the story! I have truths and dares! Yay! Aren't you all lucky?
Misty-You only hurt the ones you love. Is this why you always hurt Ash, because you are in love with him?
May-What would make you kiss Drew? And you can't say nothing!
Ash-Why did you always put up with Misty in your journey, even though all she did was complain about her bike and hit you? (No offense Misty!)
Drew-Drew you like May wearing strawberry based things? Including lip gloss, or especially lip gloss *hint, hint*
Paul-I dare you to call Reggie saying that Dawn is your girlfriend and you CAN'T tell him it's a dare. No-one can tell Reggie it's a dare, you must make Reggie believe Dawn is your girlfriend!
Dawn- I dare you to call Johanna (your mother) and tell her you and Paul are in a relationship also! No-one can tell her it's a dare either, she has to BELIEVE!
May-Dress up as a strawberry (including lip gloss-heh, heh) and dance around Drew in the most suggestive way possible just to see how he'd react.
Mina- (Yay, I thought of a perfect dare for you! Not sure everyone else will enjoy it though…) I dare you to drink 10 cups of full caffeine coffee with lots of sugar in a row. (No-one is allowed to replace the coffee with anything! It has to be full caffeine coffee!) Caffeine high!
Yay! Lots of evil truths and dares! Keep making the story amazing! And I feel evil for giving May and truth and a dare, so she can have this giant cookie ONLY when she completes both her truth and dare to a high standard (Mina and Jaiden can decide when)!
~YellowDragonMuffin :D
Misty blushed.
"No, I hurt him because he frustrates me," Misty said.
"Why does he frustrate you?" Mina asked, giving her a look that made Misty blush.
"Because he just doesn't get it," Misty said.
"Get what?" Mina asked, pretending to be innocent. Misty shook her head and crossed her arms.
"Aww," Mina complained, pouting and then grinned again, "May, what would make you kiss Drew?" May instantly went red.
"Maybe this truth or dare thing," May said, "or if someone forced me to. Literally. Like pushed us together or held a gun to my head."
"That's not nice," Mina said, "we all know you don't hate Drew that much, so tell us a reason that isn't forced."
"Yeah May," Drew said, smirking, "what would make you willingly kiss me?" May turned away, trying to hide her bright red cheeks.
"Maybe if I was really excited after winning something and he was just standing there I might," May said. Drew mentally took note to 'conveniently' be standing there next time she won a contest.
"Hey!" Misty yelled indignantly, "I did NOT just complain about my bike and I did NOT hit him all the time. ASH! DID YOU TELL THEM THAT!" Ash backed away, scared as Misty took out her mallet and repeatedly hit him.
"Ash, how did you put up with that?" Mina asked.
"I don't know," Ash said, "I guess it's because even though Misty does yell at me and hit me, I wouldn't be the same without her. She means a lot." At this point, Misty stopped hitting Ash and smiled at him instead.
"That and she isn't actually that bad when you figure out what calms her down," Ash added. Misty rolled her eyes but decided against hitting him again.
"Hey Drew," Mina said.
"What?" Drew said, eyeing her.
"Do you like May wearing strawberry stuff?" Mina asked slyly, "Especially lip gloss." She winked and nudged him. Drew blushed a little bit.
"Sort of," he said.
"Huh?" Mina said, tilting her head in confusion.
"Well, I love strawberries and all," Drew said, "so I love it when she smells like a strawberry, but it's kind of torturous. To have something strawberry in front of me and knowing I can't have it."
"You could fix that you know?" Mina said, winking at him. Drew blushed a little more and rapidly shook his head.
"So Dawn and Paul, your dares are basically the same," Mina said, "Paul you have to call Reggie and Dawn you have to call your mum and both of you have to convince them you're in a relationship and you can't tell them it's a dare either." Both Dawn and Paul paled.
"Oh please no," Dawn begged, "my mum will go nuts."
"Don't be that cruel," Paul said, "Reggie won't ever let this go."
"You have to," Mina sang, "now who wants to call first?" She gestured to the phone. Paul and Dawn both paled even further. Dawn pushed Paul forwards, who in turn twisted around and pushed her in front of him.
"You go first," Dawn hissed.
"No you," Paul growled.
"You!"
"No you!"
"YOU GO FIRST!"
"LADIES FIRST!"
"IDIOT!"
"TROUBLESOME!"
"YOUR RUDENESS!"
"STUPID GIRL!"
"ENOUGH!" Mina yelled, breaking Dawn and Paul from fighting, "Paul, you go first since you were first on the dares list." Paul clenched his fists. He walked over to the phone.
"Let's get this over with," he said. He dialled Reggie's number and after two rings he picked up, his face showing on the screen.
"Hey Paul," Reggie said, clearly startled, "It's surprising to see you calling me now. What's going on? What are you doing now?"
"I've been roped into a stupid truth or dare show thing," Paul muttered, "maybe you could get me outta here?"
"Nah," Reggie said, "I signed those papers for you to be there."
"YOU SIGNED ME UP!" Paul yelled.
"Chill Paul," Reggie said, "All that happened was this nice girl called Mina came around and asked me to sign a few things so you could be on the show. She was a nice girl and said you'd be fully cared for. What's wrong? Are you not being cared for?"
"YOU IDIOT!" Paul yelled, losing his cool at his brother for being an idiot, "YOU SIGNED ME UP FOR EMBARRASSMENT AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU SIGNED THOSE STUPID FORMS! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BELIEVED MINA! SHE'S NOT A NICE GIRL. SHE'S EVIL!"
"Reggie's right, you need to chill Paul," Mina said, putting a hand on his shoulder and grinning innocently at Reggie, "Don't worry about him; he is just under a little pressure because he has something very important to tell you." Mina quickly shot Paul a look that Reggie missed.
"Sure," Reggie said, "What do you need to say?" Paul blushed a little.
"Troublesome is my girlfriend," Paul said.
"I don't believe you," Reggie said.
"WHAT!" Paul exclaimed, "Why?"
"It just seems out of the blue," Reggie said, "I mean, one minute you said you hated her, the next you're dating her? Yeah right."
"Would you like Paul to prove it?" Mina suggested, her eyes glinting mischievously.
"Yeah," Reggie agreed, much to Paul's horror, "show me she's your girlfriend."
"What do I have to do?" Paul groaned.
"Kiss her," Reggie said, "how you kiss her will tell me everything." Mina pulled Paul away from the camera for a moment.
"You better make this believable," Mina hissed.
"And what if I don't?" Paul demanded.
"You know, Ninetales just learnt this new move and I've been dying to try it out," Mina said, giving Paul a certain look. Paul grunted and grabbed Dawn by her wrist. Dawn yelped as Paul tugged her back towards the screen. Paul softened his expression as he turned to her. He put both hands on either side of her face, leaned in and kissed her, acting as if he wanted to do it in the first place (truthfully he did, but he wasn't going to admit that). He pulled back and unsure of what he should do, he stayed with his nose pressed against hers, his hands still cupping her face.
"I believe you now," Reggie said. Paul reached over and with one hand, ended the call. As soon as he was sure Reggie couldn't see him anymore, he pushed Dawn away from him and wiped his mouth. Dawn got up angrily off the floor.
"You didn't have to push me!" she yelled.
"Troublesome," Paul muttered.
"MY NAME IS DAWN!" Dawn yelled, "CAN'T YOU JUST SAY IT ONCE?" Paul just ignored her screaming at him and sat down on the couch.
"Your turn Dawn," Mina said.
"Please don't make me do this," Dawn begged.
"Sorry Dawn," Mina said, not looking sorry at all, "you gotta do it." Daw groaned and dialled her mum's number. She shot one more pleading look at Mina, who glared in response, before pressing call. Immediately her mum picked up.
"Hello there Dawn," she said, "I wasn't expecting a call from you. I thought you were busy on that truth or dare show that a nice girl named Mina asked me to sign you up for." Dawn turned and glared at Mina.
"You talked my mum into signing the papers as well?" Dawn questioned. Mina nodded and grinned innocently.
"So how is going there?" Johanna asked, "You aren't in too much trouble are you?"
"No," Dawn said, "I just called to tell you something I think you should know."
"What is it Dawn?" Johanna asked, "They aren't treating you bad are they? Mina told me you'd be in great conditions." Dawn rolled her eyes.
"No mum," Dawn said, "I called to tell you I am dating-" She was cut off by a rather loud shriek on the other side of the phone.
"Who is it?" Johanna asked, "Do I know him? Is he handsome? Hot? Or cute? Is he sweet?" Dawn blinked a few times as her mother continued to gush questions, not giving Dawn a chance to answer them.
"Told you my mum would go nuts," Dawn whispered to Mina.
"You didn't tell her it was Paul," Mina pointed out.
"Do I have to?" Dawn whined. Mina raised her eyebrows and held up her Pokéball threateningly. Dawn turned back to the screen.
"MUM!" she yelled, startling Johanna out of her rant.
"What?" Johanna said.
"It's Paul," Dawn said, "I'm dating Paul." Johanna nodded thoughtfully.
"Is he the boy with purple hair who was rather cold that always got into fights with Ash and called you troublesome," Johanna asked, giggling a little as she said Paul's nickname for Dawn. Dawn gritted her teeth and nodded. Johanna squealed again.
"I knew you'd end up together," Johanna said, "I always knew you liked him from minute one you ranted about him to me and every other rant since I've been waiting for this call." Dawn blushed and Paul smirked.
"Ahhh, I have to go now mum bye!" Dawn squeaked, hanging up before Johanna had a chance to say anything else.
"Ranting about me troublesome?" Paul questioned.
"Only about how rude you are," Dawn huffed. Still, it didn't wipe the smug look off his face.
"Alright May," Mina said, "you get to dress up again." She pushed a protesting May into the bathroom. May groaned when she saw her strawberry outfit (including strawberry lip gloss) waiting for her. She came out, dressed in her strawberry outfit, smelling strongly of strawberry perfume.
"And now May, you get to dance around Drew," Mina said. May groaned.
"And if you do a good job, you get a giant cookie," Mina added, "only if you do a good job though." May brightened a bit at hearing her reward. She strutted over to Drew. Drew gritted his teeth as the strawberry smell filled his nose. May stretched her leg and arms, getting ready to dance. She stood right in front of Drew.
"Don't," Drew warned. May winked and took a few steps around Drew, moving her arms as she started to dance. She'd only taken 3 steps before she found herself slammed against a wall.
"I warned you," Drew growled. Before May could say anything else, Drew smashed his mouth over hers. May squeaked in surprise which only caused Drew to push her wrists tighter against the wall as he moved his lips against hers, trying to get as much of the strawberry flavour as he could. He pulled away and walked away as if he hadn't just kissed her strawberry lip gloss onto his mouth. He licked his lips in satisfaction. May sank down the wall, dazed.
"Do I get my cookie?" she asked.
"I dunno," Mina said teasingly, "you didn't really dance."
"Drew didn't let me!" May exclaimed, snapping away from la-la land. Drew smirked.
"And if she attempts it again, the same thing will happen," Drew said, causing May to blush.
"Please," May begged, "can I have my cookie?"
"What do you think Jaiden?" Mina asked. Jaiden squirmed under her gaze.
"I guess she can have it," Jaiden said, "I mean, if Drew won't let her then I guess that's the best you're gonna get." Mina went out the room and came back with another dinner plate sized cookie. This one was a chocolate and caramel flavoured one. May eagerly took it and started to nibble on the edges. Mina looked over the last dare on the page and smirked.
"Hey Jaiden," she said, "come look at this one." She pointed to the last one on the page and Jaiden's eyes widened.
"Please no," Jaiden begged, "anything but that."
"It's in the rules," Mina sang, "so go." She pointed to the kitchen. Jaiden sighed and went into the kitchen and made up ten cups of full caffeinated coffee. He brought them in 10 steaming mugs on a tray and put them on the table.
"Drink them slowly," Jaiden warned. Mina, disregarding what he had just said, sculled each cup, seemingly not bothered that they were burning hot. Mina's eyes opened wide and she grinned as she started to shake uncontrollably from the large amounts of coffee she just consumed.
"Ahh, is she freaking anyone else out?" Ash asked, backing away from her like she was about to explode.
"WHEEEE!" Mina yelled as she started to run around the room, literally bouncing off the walls.
"I can't believe I actually let her drink all that," Jaiden muttered as he watched her start to laugh as she tripped over the couch.
"She's nuts!" Drew exclaimed, watching her get back up and run straight into the wall on purpose, giggling hysterically as she couldn't feel any pain from it. Her senses had gone numb after all.
"Well, seeing as Mina will be incapable of reading out the rest of the dares, I guess I'll have to do it instead," Jaiden sighed.
From AdorableSkitty;
Hey! I really loved your truth or dare chapter! Anyway, I have some.
Drew-You have to hold May for the whole chapter. No excuses. If either one of you has to go somewhere, the other one will too.
May-How was your date with Drew? Did you like it? Would you go out with him again?
Mina-I'm sure you have security cameras, so show Drew the reason why he fainted last chapter. (If you don't have any, you'll have to tell him. To May: I know you might be upset about this, but believe me, it's for the best).
Ash-Misty admitted she has a crush on you, so why haven't you asked her out yet?
Misty-Why do you like water Pokémon so much? Don't get me wrong, they're awesome, I'm just curious.
Paul-Why do you call Dawn troublesome?
Dawn-Do you think of Paul as a friend or as something more?
Jaiden-Hey, I don't know you well, so tell me something about you, like your crush's name.
Well these are my truths and dares, I'm glad you updated and I can't wait for the next chapter.
"What do you mean hold May?" Drew asked, "What does that mean? Hug her?"
"No, don't hug her," Jaiden said, warily eyeing Mina as she started to spin around in very rapid circles, "just hold her hand. I'm pretty sure that would count." Drew went to where May was eating her cookie and took one of her hands. May almost dropped her cookie, but managed to keep holding it. Drew intertwined his fingers with hers. May shrugged and continued to eat, more focused on her cookie than Drew (which annoyed him slightly, but he wasn't going to let it show).
"So May, how was your date with Drew?" Jaiden asked, "Would you ever go one a date with him again? And did you like it?"
"Mfff, mfff, mmmmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmmm, mm, mmmm, mmm, mmmf, mfff, mfmmmf, mf, mmfmmmmfmfm, mfmm, mm, mff, mmmmf, mf, mf, mmm, mm, mmef, mmmffmmf, mffff, mfff, mmmm, mfmmed," May said, her voice muffled to something unintelligible from the biscuit.
"What was that?" Jaiden asked. May swallowed.
"I guess it was a good date," May said, "I haven't ever been on a date before either. I did like it though; Drew was actually really nice about it so I guess I'd go on another one with him, if he asked." Drew blushed slightly, but then smirked.
"Well, seeing as Mina is currently unable to do her dare, I will do it for her," Jaiden said, watching Mina making carpet angels on the ground.
"There was a reason I fainted?" Drew questioned.
"Don't show it!" May exclaimed.
"Sorry May, it's a dare," Jaiden said. He got his laptop out and typed on it. A video came on the screen and Jaiden reversed it a little before turning it towards where May and Drew were. Drew looked on in interest while May covered her face with the cookie.
*on screen*
May came out the bathroom with a determined look on her face and ran to stand in front of Drew. She took a deep breath.
"Drew will you be my boyfriend?" she asked quickly. Drew's mouth dropped open, about to say something. May quickly kissed him, her hands on his shoulders. She pulled away and blushed. Drew's mouth opened and closed a few times. Drew's eyes closed and he fell to the ground, unconscious, with a loud thump. May blinked.
"Well that was interesting," Mina said.
*back to the studio*
Jaiden paused the video and looked to see their reactions. Drew's mouth was wide open and he could hardly see May because she was trying to hide behind her half eaten cookie. Drew turned to May, who was cherry red.
"You asked me out?" Drew questioned in disbelief, "And I forgot about it? I can't believe this. Oh well, to answer you I'll say-"
"Don't," May hissed, cutting him off, "Don't answer me on that. It was a dare. If you say no, I don't want to have being rejected on my reputation, if you say yes, I don't want to have to dump you because that won't sit well either." Drew scowled, hurt at her words, missing the lie detector going orange.
"It's not like I want to date you either," Drew sneered. The lie detector went orange again, but May and Drew both missed it again.
"I said, DON'T answer me!" May yelled. She stood up and tried to go away, but was pulled back by Drew's grip on her hand.
"You still have to hold my hand May," Drew growled, "So get over it." May sat down and bitterly chewed mechanically, the taste of the biscuit not even able to lift her mood.
"Ok," Jaiden said, "This is where we need Mina to say something to break the tension or get you to make up at least, but unfortunately she's off in her own world." He looked to Mina who was laughing hysterically at her fingers as she clenched and unclenched her hand.
"I think she's crazy," Ash said.
"It's the caffeine," Jaiden sighed, "she doesn't handle it well at all, but I've never given her this much before. But Ash, your question."
"Well because Misty said she HAD a crush on me," Ash said, "Past tense. That's why."
"Idiot," Jaiden muttered. Ash shot him a confused look and Jaiden shrugged it off.
"So Misty, why do you like water Pokémon?" Jaiden asked, eyeing Mina as she once again ran into a wall on purpose.
"Because water Pokémon are amazing," Misty said, "Water had always been my favourite because of how I grew up, but it became my favourite even more when I pulled Ash out of the water while fishing for water Pokémon."
"How did it become your favourite then?" Jaiden asked.
"Well, Ash is really important to me," Misty explained, "The reason I was out that day was to catch some cool water Pokémon, but instead I pulled up Ash. If that hadn't happened, I never would've had him in my life. I guess it's my way of thanking them for being the reason Ash means so much to me."
"Mina don't do that!" Jaiden exclaimed. Mina ran into the wall again, her face smacking against the plaster. She laughed as her nose started to bleed. Jaiden sighed and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to sit down on the couch. He handed her a few tissues. Mina ripped them up and threw them in the air.
"It's snowing!" Mina yelled. Jaiden grabbed a few more tissues and held them onto her nose, pinching it and tilting her head forwards slightly so the bleeding would stop. Mina thrashed around and hit him, trying to get him to let go.
"Let go," she yelled angrily and nasally, "let go!" After a while, Jaiden pulled the blood soaked tissues away from her nose, finding that it had stopped bleeding. Mina tried to get up, but Jaiden pushed her down firmly.
"Don't move," he commanded, "You are going to sit still for a little while." Jaiden quickly ran to the bin, put the tissues in and ran back in time to push Mina back down onto the couch. Mina pouted and crossed her arms.
"Why?" Mina whined, "The wall wants another hug."
"Paul is just about to tell us why he calls Dawn troublesome," Jaiden said, "You wanted to know this."
"Oh yes!" Mina squealed loudly.
"Ouch, she's so loud," Misty complained, "I don't think I like caffeinated Mina."
"Troublesome, bubblesome," Mina sang, obliviously, "trouble bubble double shovel, dig!" She cracked up laughing.
"Just ignore her," Jaiden said, "and tell us Paul, why you call her troublesome."
"Well, she caused a fuss when I didn't remember her," Paul said, "Let's say by calling her troublesome, it's my own way at remembering her, even if I'm not saying her name."
"Oh Paul," Dawn sighed happily, "You can call me troublesome all you want."
"Don't get all emotional on me," Paul snapped as Dawn lunched herself for a hug. Once again though, Paul didn't push her off, just letting her hug him.
"Which brings me to the next question," Jaiden said, "Dawn; do you think of Paul as just a friend or something more?"
"Something more of course," Dawn said. Paul blushed slightly. Seeing as her arms were still around him, this was understandable.
"What?" Paul said.
"Wow, you're open about this," Jaiden commented.
"Well it's true," Dawn said, "he's a friend and he's a rival, he's a brother and a son and a-"
"We get the point Dawn," Jaiden said, "I mean like do you see Paul as someone to date?" Dawn blushed and finally let Paul go.
"Possibly," she said, twirling a piece of hair around her finger, "if he asked me it isn't like I would say no, but I'm not really going to seek him out at the moment either."
"And Jaiden," Misty said, "you have to tell us something about you."
"Well, I've got brown hair and blue eyes," Jaiden said.
"No," Misty said firmly, "The dare said your crush." Jaiden blushed.
"You're just twisting those words," He protested, "It said like your crush's name."
"JUST SAY IT!" Misty yelled, raising her mallet threateningly.
"You don't want to feel the effects of that thing," Ash warned, "it's better to do what she says."
"Fine, my crush is-MINA! DON'T DO THAT!" Jaiden said, cutting himself off. Mina had gotten up, gone into the kitchen, grabbed the biggest knife and stabbed her own hand. Mina looked up innocently at Jaiden as he yelled her name in horror.
"What?" she asked.
"Why on earth did you just stab yourself?" Jaiden asked. Mina pulled the knife from her hand.
"It doesn't hurt," she said, "I wanted to see if it would hurt." Jaiden ran over to her and took the knife away before she could do anything else to herself. He winced as he saw her bones sticking out through the heavily bleeding wound.
"I'm taking you to the hospital now," Jaiden said firmly, "and I am never letting you have this much coffee again." He wrapped Mina's injured hand in a nearby cloth and grabbed her good hand.
"You guys, stay here," Jaiden said to everyone else, "Jolteon, guard them." He released a Pokémon, who got into a guard position by the door just as Jaiden pulled her out.
A few hours later Jaiden carried Mina back in. Yes carried. She was in his arms bridal style, looking groggy and slightly dazed. Her right hand (the one she stabbed) had been put into a mint green cast. Jaiden put Mina down onto her feet. She wobbled before collapsing into Jaiden's arm again.
"Jaiden," she slurred, giggling slightly.
"Now what's wrong with her?" Drew asked.
"The pain killers they gave her before setting her bones have made her a little woozy," Jaiden explained, gently leading her to the couch.
"Thanks Jolteon," Jaiden said, returning his Pokémon, "Can you guys make sure she doesn't move around for me?" He waited until they nodded before going into the kitchen to clean up Mina's blood. He came back in to see Mina sound asleep.
"I think we should move on," he said.
From Contestshipper16;
Hey, um…I have a few dares:
Mina-Tell us how you got the scars and why?
Jaiden-Comfort Mina while telling the story or after the story; whenever she needs it (though I think he will do it even if it wasn't a dare).
Paul-kiss Dawn :)
Drew-You poor guy, I dare you to keep May with you at all times and flirt with her through the whole chapter! XD
May-Stick with Drew while doing contact with him such as; holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc. Sitting in his lap is permitted! ;)
Mina and Jaiden-show everyone the video of May and Drew's date. (I want to see it! XD)
May-Did you ever have a crush or feelings for Brendan? If you did, do you still have them? Or were they completely stopped by a certain grasshead?
Drew-Why are you so addicted to strawberries?
Drew-Why did you keep May's bandana? Was it to remember your date or to always remember May by? (Remember the lie detector)
Well, that's it! I love your story! :D
ANICA OUT LATESSSSSS!
"Well, Mina's asleep," Jaiden said, smiling at her fondly.
"No, I'm awake," Mina mumbled in her sleep.
"Did I forget to mention Mina sleep talks?" Jaiden said to the shocked other members in the room.
"Don't tell them that," Mina said, "that's…embarrassing."
"Are you going to answer me?" Jaiden asked.
"Mm, of course," Mina said, smiling in her sleep.
"You have to tell everyone where you got your scars from," Jaiden said. Mina squirmed in her sleep.
"You know I don't like to talk about it," she said.
"Come on Mina," Jaiden said.
"Well…Ok…I got them from a fire," Mina said sleepily, "My house caught on fire when I was really little. I barely escaped and I was burnt across my back and arms. I was the only one burnt badly enough to get scars from it."
"Wow," Drew said.
"Yeah," Jaiden said, brushing his hand over her head, "Mina's been through quite a lot."
"I had no idea," May said.
"Yeah," Misty agreed, "she's always so happy. I never would've guessed."
"Oh gosh, no wonder she was so sensitive over them. I wish I'd known! I wouldn't have said anything!" Dawn exclaimed.
"There was no way you could've known," Jaiden assured, "Mina keeps it hidden most of the time. And if she didn't sleep talk, she probably wouldn't have told you guys anyway. It's a sensitive topic for her so when she wakes up, don't say anything ok?" They nodded. Mina's breathing started to speed up and she started tossing on the couch.
"Arceus," Jaiden muttered. He walked out of the room and into the kitchen. He came back with a glass of milk and a cold cloth. Mina whimpered in her sleep.
"What's going on now?" Misty asked.
"Nightmare," Jaiden said, "she often gets them if she is reminded of her accident." Mina woke with a start, sweating and breathing heavily with tears in her eyes.
"J-J-Jaiden," she cried. Jaiden put the cloth on her head, causing her to jump slightly.
"It's ok," Jaiden soothed, holding out the milk, "I'm here. It was just a dream." Mina took the glass of milk and drank it slowly, calming her breathing as she sat up straight.
"J-Jaiden," Mina said, sniffing, "it-it was y-you."
"Shh, it's ok," Jaiden said softly, "nothing's happened. You're fine. I'm here." After a few minutes, Mina calmed down and the caffeine started to kick in again. She giggled slightly.
"Well I think she's ok now," Jaiden said, "And so we should move on. Paul, kiss Dawn."
"Like this one hasn't been done before," Paul muttered sarcastically.
"Actually, not for you so far," Jaiden said, "you haven't had to kiss Dawn until this episode I think." Paul rolled his eyes. He grabbed Dawn's wrist tightly and spun her around to face him. She gasped and his other hand went behind the back of her head so she couldn't turn away.
"Paul?" Dawn questioned.
"Shut up troublesome," Paul spat, "you know what I have to do so don't play innocent." Dawn looked at him for a moment before closing her eyes, tilting her head and puckering her lips. Paul, not expecting this reaction, hesitated. Instead of just kissing her and getting it over with like he'd been planning to do, Paul gently (or as gentle as Paul could) gave her a firm kiss that wasn't just a quick peck. Dawn's cheeks exploded with red as he pulled away and sat down, pretending like nothing had happened.
"Well, May and Drew, I'm sure if Mina was in her normal state she'd be teasing you about this one," Jaiden said, sighing as Mina wriggled around on the couch, having too much energy to sit still, "You both have to flirt and show physical affection."
"Physical affection," May repeated, a blush rising to her face.
"You know, holding hands, hugging, sitting his lap," Jaiden listed. May and Drew both looked away from each other, very aware their hands were locked together.
"Kissing," Jaiden added slyly, causing them both to blush furiously.
"I'm not kissing him," May said flatly. Drew snorted. He was still hurt over the last thing she said, and this just topped it.
"Like I'm going to flirt with her," Drew said grumpily.
"You had no problem doing it in previous chapters," Jaiden pointed out.
"Things changed," Drew muttered.
"Well, it's not really a choice," Jaiden said, "You have to flirt. It's the rules." Drew snorted again, not happy with that reply.
"Well, I guess Mina's semi-calm now," Jaiden said, "But we'll see how long it lasts." He typed on his laptop again and the video footage of May and Drew's date. May's mouth opened.
"How did you get that?" May demanded.
"I have my ways," Jaiden said, grinning cheekily. May groaned. Dawn and Misty shot May teasing looks as they went to look at the screen, causing May to blush slightly. Ash happily followed, oblivious of what was going on. Dawn took one look at Paul, who was looking disinterested on the couch, before she went over to him and dragged him to watch as well.
*On screen*
May and Drew ran out the door to the studio. He let go of her wrist, shoving his hands in his pockets as he walked along.
"Where are we going Drew?" May asked.
"Anywhere," Drew said, "for as long as you like. I want to relish this freedom as long as possible." May giggled.
"Well, I'm fine going to the movies like you said," May said, "But I'm choosing." Drew groaned.
"Just not a super romantic mushy movie ok," Drew said, screwing up his nose.
"No," May said, "I want to see frozen. Everyone except me has seen it." Drew nodded slightly, showing that he heard her.
"Don't tell me you've seen it too!" May exclaimed.
"Renae dragged me to see it," Drew said.
"Why?" May asked. Drew shrugged.
"Who better to see a movie with than your own older brother," Drew said sarcastically, "Don't ask me for her reasoning. I can't understand her messed up logic." May pouted.
"Stop being sarcastic," May said, "I hate it. You're always sarcastic and teasing."
"Well, I might be able to hold off on the sarcasm," Drew said, "But I'm not sure I could stop the teasing." He grinned at her, nudging her playfully with his elbow. May giggled and pushed him back, hardly moving him at all. After a trip of shoving, pushing and giggling, May and Drew came into the movie theatre, panting and laughing. Drew paid for the tickets and they went into the viewing room. They sat next to each other in the very middle and the movie started. About halfway through the movie, Drew slowly reached over and intertwined his fingers with May's. May, being absorbed in the movie, didn't even notice. When it had finished, May rushed out, dragging Drew with her. She felt the tug and looked down at her hands.
"Since when were we holding hands?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" Drew replied, blushing slightly, "We've been holding hands the whole time." (At this point in the studio, the lie detector lit up orange, causing Drew to blush.) May shrugged and then squealed.
"Look Drew!"
"What?" Drew questioned.
"There's the claw machine game," she said, "come on, it's got an Olaf plushie and I want it." Drew rolled his eyes as May inserted a coin into the machine. She lined it up, waited for the claw to stop swinging and let it drop. She caught nothing. May pouted, her lip quivering when it came up with nothing. Drew sighed.
"You don't need that plushie," Drew said.
"But I wanted to win something," May protested, "I wanted something." She sniffed and her eyes watered. Drew clenched his free fist, hating himself for being weak to crying girls.
"I'm not playing that game May," he said through gritted teeth, "It's almost impossible to win it. The odds are against you."
"Please Drew," May begged, grabbing his other hand.
"I'm not playing the game May," Drew said, "but I'll buy you something else ok? Is that alright? Just don't cry!" May brightened as Drew went over to the counter and bought a little charm bracelet.
"Here," he said, thrusting it into her hands, "happy now?" May nodded, leaned up and gently kissed his cheek.
"Thanks Drew," She chirped happily, missing the splash of red colouring that coated his cheeks the minute her lips touched his skin.
"Y-you're welcome," Drew said, his hand raising to his cheek, "We should probably head back before Mina sends out one of her Pokémon to kidnap us back or something." May and Drew walked out, Drew linking his hand with her up until the door to the studio before letting go.
*Back to the studio*
"Aww aren't you guys sweet," Misty teased.
"You really are soft," Ash teased. May and Drew both blushed. Mina at this point, had completely had enough of sitting down and got up. She ran around.
"Mina, stop," Jaiden said firmly, "sit down."
"I don't want to," Mina complained.
"You have to," Jaiden said. Mina pulled a face. Unexpectedly she ran at Jaiden and knocked him over, pinning him to the ground.
"Why doesn't anyone take me on a date?" Mina whined, "I want a cute date. I want someone to kiss." Without warning she leaned down even further and kissed Jaiden, causing him to make a strangled yelp of complete surprise. She pulled away almost as fast and cracked up laughing, rolling away from him.
"You're funny," she said, starting to make carpet angels again. Jaiden shook his head, snapping out of it, a light blush on his cheeks.
"Um, questions now," Jaiden said, "May, any feelings for Brendan?" May giggled.
"It was funny actually," May said, "I used to really like Brendan when we were little. We were like 5 or something. We both told each other that we loved each other and he promised me one day when we grew up that he would marry me." Drew scowled and crossed his arms the best he could with May still holding one of his hands.
"So does that mean you still have feelings for each other?" Jaiden asked.
"No!" May exclaimed, "We were little. And I think he has a girlfriend now anyway. I'm not too sure. Besides…I like someone else anyway." May blushed and looked away, not seeing the look of hurt that passed over Drew's face.
"So Drew, why are you addicted to strawberries?" Jaiden asked.
"I don't know," Drew snapped, "That's a stupid question. That's like asking why Ash eats food, or why Mina goes crazy on coffee. It doesn't have a reason. I just really love strawberries."
"You're in a bad mood," Jaiden muttered, "Why did you keep May's bandana then?"
"Because it was something to remember May by," Drew snarled, "you know those roses are what May collects to remember me, but I didn't have anything from May. So I took it." The lie detector lit up blue.
"That wasn't what I expected, but ok," Jaiden said, "I'll move on." Jaiden held up the paper, ready to read it when Mina got up, pushed Jaiden down onto the couch and jumped on top of him.
"MINA!" Jaiden exclaimed, "Warn me next time you're going to do that." He groaned as she pushed his arms up beside his head, her knees pushing into his stomach, effectively pinning him down.
"I want to read the dares," Mina growled.
"Are you calm enough?" Jaiden asked. Mina nodded enthusiastically.
"It's my job," she said. Jaiden rolled his eyes and flicked his wrist to demonstrate where the dares were (seeing as he couldn't move his arms). Mina squealed and snatched it from his hands, not bothering to get off, but releasing his arms. Jaiden groaned and rolled his eyes.
From CuteNeko66;
Drew-tickle May again. That was cute.
-So how cute is May on a scale of 1-10?
All boys-kiss the girl you like.
"So go ahead Drew," Mina said giggling, "tickle May." Drew rolled his eyes, poking May in the side with his finger. She didn't even flinch.
"There, she's not ticklish," Drew protested. Mina giggled.
"No silly," She said, "you have to put your nose at her neck." Drew sighed, pulling May into his lap. May blushed. Drew lowered his head to her neck, brushing his nose against her skin, breathing out as he did so. May forgot about blushed and started to laugh, trying to slap him away.
"Drew," she gasped out in the middle of her laughter. Drew continued to brush his nose along the back of her neck, grinning as she giggled and wriggled. She moved to elbow him, but he put his other arm around her to stop her from doing so as he continued to tickle her.
"So tell me Drew," Mina said, "I've been waiting to know. How cute do you think May is?"
"She's a 9," Drew said, not even blushing as he continued to tickle May.
"9?" Mina questioned, "Why not 10?"
"Because she's not quite at her cutest state yet," Drew said, "she does a few things that make her cuter."
"What would make her cuter?" Mina squealed, not noticing the blush that had spread across May's face as she laughed.
"Not telling," Drew said.
"Well, all boys, including you Jaiden, have to kiss the girl you like," Mina said. Drew smirked, continuing to tickle May with his nose. He sneakily kissed the back of her neck so May didn't even notice it. Paul pecked Dawn lightly on the cheek, causing her to blush. Ash tilted his head in confusion.
"But I like all the girls in this room," he said, "They're all my friends. But the guys will kill me if I try to kiss them all."
"Kiss the one who you like best," Mina said. Ash grinned.
"That's easy." He leaned around and quickly kissed Misty on the forehead. Misty blushed and Ash shrugged. Mina looked at Jaiden. He blushed and lightly pressed his lips to the tip of Mina's nose for a brief moment before pulling away, blushing severely. Mina went cross-eyed, pulling a face as she started to laugh hysterically.
"Please just move on Mina," Jaiden sighed, "I want to get this over and done with."
From W0lfWarrior;
Ash-Answer this without any help-How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Misty-Sing 'I'm a barbie girl'.
May-Dress as a guy.
Drew-Dress as a girl
Dawn-Groom Pikachu for the whole chapter.
Jaiden and Mina-Plank on the floor for the whole chapter.
Jaiden groaned and got down on the floor, holding himself up on his toes and elbows. Mina did the same and started laughing.
"How are you laughing?" Jaiden groaned, "This is uncomfortable and painful."
"Ash, question," Mina said, ignoring Jaiden. Ash frowned, counting on his finger with a thoughtful look on his face.
"5?" He said.
"Nope," Mina said.
"9 then," Ash said.
"Wrong again," Mina said.
"14?" He said.
"Strike three," Mina exclaimed loudly, "You're out."
"But I did the maths," Ash complained.
"What maths?" Misty asked, "You don't need maths for this."
"What's the answer then," Ash demanded, "You figure it out without maths." Misty sighed.
"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood. As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood," she said.
"Chuck wood could wood?" Ash said, "Too confusing. My head hurts."
"Misty, sing the song chipmunk version," Jaiden groaned, "just do it fast because I don't know how much longer I can hold myself up." Mina balanced herself on one arm. She reached over and pushed play on her iPod, the barbie girl song backing starting to play.
"How are you balancing on one arm?" Jaiden asked, groaning as his arms started to shake. Mina giggled.
"I think the more appropriate question is; why has she got this song on her iPod," Misty grumbled as she was handed a microphone.
"Simple," Mina said, "Any song I need that has been requested from the readers comes. Now SING!" Misty yelped and put the microphone to the lips.
"I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world," she sang, her voice high pitched and squeaky, "Life in plastic, it's fantastic." Ash winced at her voice. It wasn't professionally trained and sounded pretty bad. He'd say something if he didn't know he'd get a mallet straight to the back of his head.
"You can brush my hair, and take me anywhere. Imagination. Life is your creation." She re-sung the chorus and then threw the microphone across the room, causing everyone to cover their ears as the microphone made a loud high pitched buzz.
"I give up," Misty said, "It's too high. I sang some of it. That's good enough." Mina looked at the ruined microphone before bursting out laughing. Jaiden sighed.
"I guess that's good enough," Jaiden said, "Now May, you have to dress as a boy and Drew, you have to dress as a girl. You might as well just swap clothes." Drew and May groaned, got up and went into the bathroom. Both of them looked at each other for a moment, silently agreeing on how to do this. Drew let go of her hands.
"Mina will never know," he whispered, "just go in that change room. And we can throw our clothes over the top ok?" May nodded and she went into the other cubicle.
"Dawn, you have to groom Pikachu for the rest of the chapter," Mina said, giggling.
"That's weird," Dawn said. She shrugged and took Pikachu from Ash's shoulder, walking towards the kitchen where they was a tiny bath tub.
"Watch out," Ash warned, "Pikachu hates taking a bath. He'll electrocute you." Dawn gently scratched the behind Pikachu's ear, making him coo in delight.
"I don't think such a sweet Pokémon would do that," Dawn said, "you obviously don't pamper him the way he deserves." Pikachu nodded slightly in mild agreement.
"Whatever," Ash grumbled, "just warning you." Dawn filled the little tub with warm water and tested it with her little finger before gently lowering Pikachu into the water. Pikachu squirmed around at first, but stopped when Dawn gently started to massage the dirt from his coat.
"Oh poor baby," she cooed, seeing the water instantly turn a dirty brown, "Doesn't Ash take care of you?"
"I take care of him!" Ash protested, "Pikachu's the one who won't let me give him a bath." Dawn ignored him and continued to wash Pikachu's dirty fur. At the same time, May and Drew came out of the bathroom, their hands relinked so Mina wouldn't catch them breaking their dare. Mina looked up and started laughing so much she dropped down, not strong enough to hold her weight while laughing that much. Drew's clothes were really baggy over May, but that wasn't what was funny. May's top was too short on Drew and it showed off his belly button. The shorts and skirt were really short too. He had, on May's insistence, taken her bandana from his wrist and put it over his hair. Drew looked very unimpressed while May was holding in her giggles. She dragged Drew over where she had previously hidden her camera, held it up and took a picture of them both. Drew groaned and it set off a round of laughter throughout the room.
"Why me?" Drew asked, "Why do people love embarrassing me? Why?"
"I dunno," Dawn said from the kitchen as she was now using a hairdryer to dry Pikachu, "the rest of us have had some pretty embarrassing dares as well."
"Oh please," Mina gasped in between laughter, "go change, I can't take it anymore." Drew and May went back into the change room, changing back the same way they had the first time. Meanwhile in the kitchen, Dawn was trying hard not to laugh. The hairdryer, though Pikachu had loved the warmth, had made Pikachu's coat all frizzy. He looked like a giant yellow pompom with a tail. She grabbed a brush and started to brush his fur flat. Drew and May came back out and Dawn came from the kitchen, carrying Pikachu. Ash's face morphed into horror when he saw his buddy.
"What did you do to him!" He exclaimed. Dawn had brushed out Pikachu's fur, coated it in sparkles and put pink bows around his neck, on his ears and along his tail. She'd also put little pink shoes on his feet.
"I got him ready for a contest," Dawn said.
"Two things Dawn," Ash growled, "one; Pikachu is a battle Pokémon, he doesn't need to be dressed up. Two; HE'S A BOY FOR ARCEUS SAKE! HE DOESN'T WEAR PINK!"
"Does now," Dawn giggled, giving Pikachu back to Ash, "and he doesn't seem to mind it."
"Has he seen himself?" Ash asked. Dawn sheepishly shook her head. May grabbed her camera and took a picture of Pikachu on her camera and turned it around so Pikachu could see. Pikachu looked horrified. He chattered indignantly, electrical sparked forming at his cheeks. He quickly released a thunderbolt attack on Dawn, making all the decorations disintegrate from his body. Dawn fell to the ground, shocked. He hair was sticking up at odd angles and her clothes were slightly blackened even more. She shrieked and ran to the bathroom to fix her appearance.
"Thought so," Ash said smugly. Mina read over the last dare and blushed, screaming loudly.
"What?" Drew asked, "Extra stupid dares for us."
"Um…Um…A-actually, I-I changed my m-mind," Mina stuttered, "W-we-we won't d-do an extra s-s-s-set of d-dares this chapter."
"Why?" Misty ask, smirking in a similar style to Drew, "What's the last dare set say?"
"N-n-n-nothing," Mina stuttered. Misty grabbed the page and read out the dare, smirking.
"We most definitely should do an extra dare set this chapter," Misty said.
"Are you crazy?" Ash exclaimed, "You want to be embarrassed more?" Misty showed him the piece of paper and Ash cracked up laughing.
"Actually you're right," Ash said, "we should do an extra dare set." Drew, May, Paul and Dawn (who had fixed her appearance by then) shot Ash and Misty puzzled looks. Misty smirked again and showed everyone the lat dare set while Mina furiously tried to get it back.
"Just read it out Misty," May suggested, "if you do that, you know you HAVE to do the dares there." Misty nodded.
From FunFX2012;
Just one dare
Mina and Jaiden-play the pocky game (just to torture Mina)
Jaiden, totally shocked and completely exhausted, fell down from his position while Mina looked horrified.
"And look at this," Misty said, grabbing a packet of pocky, "how convenient."
"No, no, no," Mina said, backing away, "I don't want to play the pocky game. Yuck." Jaiden sighed, having had enough for one day. He took the pocky, grabbing one out and put it between his lips. Mina backed away.
"Jaiden, why aren't you helping?" she whined.
"I just want to get this over with," Jaiden said, "the longer you protest, the longer this episode lasts and I've had enough of your caffeinated craziness." He backed Mina into a corner and poked the other end of the pocky in her mouth. Mina instantly snapped it, eating the half that broke off closest to her. Jaiden held his hand out backwards and Misty put another pocky in his hand. Jaiden spat out the previous pocky.
"You have to do it Mina," Misty said, "better off just making it easier for yourself."
"But I hate the pocky game," Mina protested, "Eww, biscuit kissing."
"I've got an idea Mina," Jaiden whispered to her so no-one else could hear, "just stay still and don't eat it. I have an idea and if it works, we won't have to kiss with biscuit in our mouths." Mina thought it over before nodding. Jaiden poked the pocky into her mouth and took the other end between his lips.
"We're ready Misty," he called.
"Ready….Set," Misty said, drawing it out for dramatic effect, "…..GO!" Jaiden slowly started to eat the biscuit while Mina screwed up her nose and stayed still, trusting Jaiden. When he got close to Mina's face, his mouth a centimetre from hers, he leaned around, his arms reaching up to push Mina's wrists against the wall. In doing this, he also blocked their mouths from view of the others. Carefully, he tugged the biscuit from her lips. He made sure to chew it and swallow it, cleaning his mouth out before he gently kissed her on the lips. He brought their hands back down, making it look like to the others that he had just continued the pocky game. He pulled away.
"There," He said, "all done. See, not so bad Mina." He moved away. Mina nodded and grinned.
"See, you liked that!" May exclaimed, pointing at Mina triumphantly, "What do you think of pocky kissing now?"
"It's still gross," Mina said.
"Huh?" May said. Mina just laughed.
"That's the end of this episode," Jaiden said, "Thank goodness." May and Drew instantly jumped apart.
"Can I tell Reggie that I'm not actually dating troublesome now?" Paul asked.
"Yeah, and can I call my mum?" Dawn asked.
"NO!" Mina yelled. She got up, snatched Misty's mallet and used it to destroy the phone.
"Gee, all I asked is a yes or no question," Paul muttered, "You didn't have to destroy the phone."
"She's on coffee remember?" Jaiden reminded him, "anyway, you all go to your rooms and I'll see if I can calm Mina enough to get her to sleep, though I seriously doubt it."
"Good luck," Ash said, "You'll need it." Jaiden sighed, watching as Mina started to run in circles again.
"Yep, definitely going to need it," he said. Ash, Paul, Drew, May, Misty and Dawn all gave Jaiden a somewhat sympathetic look (yes even Paul, though you could hardly tell) and went to their rooms.
"Now come on Mina," Jaiden said, "time to go to sleep."
"I don't want to," She protested. Jaiden sighed, rubbing his forehead. He got the feeling this would be a long night.
A/N: How did you like it? Honestly, I've never been on 10 cups of coffee myself, so I don't really know how crazy I would be. Oh well. Please remember to PM me your truth and Dares. And review.
