Shawn knows how to push Jon's buttons. He also knows you don't turn down a triple dog dare.

"Are you kiddin' me, Hunter? What has gotten into you today?"

Shawn couldn't answer the second question, but he could definitely answered the first.

"No, I'm not."

His teacher gave an exasperated sigh and went to his bedroom to change his clothes which were soaking wet thanks to Shawn.

"All I'm saying is live a little, Jon," he continued yelling into the bedroom from where he was standing in the living room. His jeans, shoes, and half of his shirt were just as wet as Jon's clothes.

"I live just enough, thank you," came the irritated return. "I can live just fine without gettin' dragged through an open fire hydrant. You didn't do that to Audrey, I noticed."

"I didn't need to," the teen chirped mischievously. "Audrey knows how to live on the edge."

The redhead shot him an amused look as she took a seat on the couch. She didn't know what had gotten into Shawn either, but he was just having some harmless fun. Harmless, except to Jon's ego perhaps.

"Does she now?" Jon grumpily exited his bedroom, drying his hair with hand towel.

"Yeah, nobody had to beg her to ride the roller coasters at Six Flags."

"Is that what this is about? Are you kiddin' me?"

It was a absurd thing to harass his teacher about but Shawn knew what he doing. He got the idea while they were in the bumper boats at the miniature golf place and he was determined to see it through. He knew Jon well enough to know what buttons to push to get under his skin. Shawn had to get him just irritated enough for this to work.

"Well, you wouldn't go on any of them with us."

"I went on the Last Ride. I think I proved myself on that."

Shawn snorted in derision. "You didn't chose to do that. You and Eric got pushed on that ride by Cory and Mr. Feeny. No way would you do that on your own." Turning to Audrey, he said with faux sympathy. "I'm sorry Jon's so stuffy and boring. You deserve way better."

The English Lit teacher had just about had it with Shawn's taunting. Normally, he would have ignored the boy or dished it back to him, but he was frustrated that Shawn chose to do this in front of Audrey and he was getting flustered.

"What do you want from me, Hunter?" He sank unhappily on the couch next to Audrey who was clearly trying not to laugh.

"Prove you're not boring."

Jon gave him an apprehensive glare. He said nothing.

"See!" Shawn said to Audrey holding his hands out towards Jon. "He won't even say anything! He's boring."

"Fine," the teacher snapped. "What do you want me to do?"

Shawn sat on the back of the couch. He knew he almost had Jon. He licked his lips trying to contain himself. He didn't want to jump ahead and ruin his plan.

"Take a dare."

Jon rolled his eyes at the juvenile demand. "Like what? Prank call Feeny?"

Shawn hadn't thought of that. He paused. It was an interesting idea actually but he pushed it away. He was determined not to get distracted. What he had in mind was so much better.

"I dare you," he smirked at Audrey who was regarding him curiously. "I dare you to kiss Audrey."

They both stared at him for a moment. Audrey was as shocked as Jon was. She put her hand over her mouth to hide her reaction; she didn't think the man next to her would appreciate it.

"Are you kiddin' me?" Jon repeated again, unable to believe what he was hearing.

A deliciously devious smile overtook the boy's face. "I double dog dare you."

Jon was dumbfounded and more than a little disturbed. He couldn't wrap his head around why Shawn would do this to him in front of Audrey. He could feel his blood pressure rising rapidly.

When his teacher started to shake his head no, Shawn upped the ante. "I triple dog dare you to kiss her."

Jon bit his tongue, trying to contain his temper. He felt like a caged animal. This wasn't fair. What did he do to make Shawn turn on him like this?

"Are you okay with this?" he asked his student teacher, desperate for help. Normally, he could rely on her for support.

Audrey held out her hands as she shrugged noncommittally, struggling to maintain a neutral expression. "A dare's a dare," was all she said and that was a cop out as far as Jon was concerned.

"Why aren't you daring her?" he snapped petulantly, turning back to Shawn. He was completely alone on this matter he realized.

Shawn smirked. "I know she'll take a dare. Audrey's fun; she'll try new stuff, she's impulsive. But if it makes you feel better..." He turned to Audrey with puckish glee. "I dare you to kiss Jon."

It was all she could do not to burst out laughing at the look of sheer discomfort on Jon's face and the look of triumph on Shawn's. Jon started to protest that all she got was a simple dare. Shawn shrugged, clearly pleased with himself.

"You got a triple dog dare," she told Jon. "You kind of can't turn those down. Otherwise, you look really bad."

"See?" Shawn jumped up jubilantly. "I told you so!"

"This is ridiculous!"

"I knew he was too much of coward." Shawn gave Audrey a sympathetic smile, pretending to be defeated.

"I am not!" Jon couldn't believe how much control he was giving Shawn over his emotions, but it was too late to get it back now.

"Five bucks says you won't do it."

With money now on the table, Jon had a choice to make. He was outnumbered, that much was obvious; they had sided together against him. He had no idea what Audrey would think of him if he backed out of this. Maybe she wouldn't care. Maybe she was only indulging Shawn. But then maybe she would care if he refused. Could he take that chance? He glared at Shawn before making his decision.

As Jon leaned in to kiss Audrey, Shawn's jaw dropped and his heart felt like it stopped. He couldn't believe it-it worked, the dare actually worked! He was thrilled to see Audrey lean into the kiss. It was apparent they both forgot he was there. He tried so hard to hold back the excitement that was threatening to burst through his skin. He didn't last long. A loud, joyous 'yes!" escaped his lips. This, of course, broke the moment. Jon sat back looking embarrassed for a minute before turning towards his charge who was giving him the most deranged grin he'd ever seen.

"All right," he said gruffly, his cheeks blazing bright red. He held his hand out to Shawn. "I want the five bucks."

Shawn's eyes sparkled with an impish gleam and his shoulders shook with laughter. He looked back and forth between the two on the couch before he gave Jon's hand a hard slap.

"I don't have five bucks. I just wanted to see you guys kiss!"

Audrey burst into embarrassed laughter as Jon lunged over the back of the couch making a grab for Shawn, who gleefully danced out of his reach and back to his room howling in triumph, his wet sneakers squeaking all the way.
