Cress' P.O.V.
"Excuse me?!" Cress cried, her face, obviously, turning beet red.
Confidently as usual, Thorne spoke.
"Sure she is!" Thorne said, as if it was a perfectly common thing to say, as if Cress wasn't turning multiple progressively darker shades of pink that very moment.
Annoyingly enough, Iko was grinning. Obviously she didn't think it was a big deal. Then, Thorne interrupted her thoughts.
"But regardless, you didn't ask me truth or dare!"
"Okay, fine, truth or dare?" Iko asked.
Thorne grinned.
"Dare."
"I dare you to beg Scarlet to pummel you with tomatoes." A grin appeared on Scarlet's face.
Thorne's facial expression seemed to be awfully amusing to everyone, Cinder especially.
"Hey, Thorne, I've been wondering for a while... any idea where my extra portscreen disappenred to? I thought I should ask you!" Scarlet said, intentions clear.
She walked calmly to the food stores and picked out the most ruined, rotting tomatoes,(Wouldn't want to waste any tomatoes) and slowly, her hand filled with 4 tomatoes and one shiny red one held in her teeth, she pranced over to Thorne. She then put an arm over his shoulder and placed her hand behind his back, resting her arm there.
"Cress... Scarlet is scary, she's going to throw tomatoes at me! Cinder, Wolf, you're just going to let this happen?" Thorne said.
Cress, not particularly attentive at the moment, jerked her head up to look at Thorne.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled, assuming anything regarding "Scarlet" and "scary" was something to be pitied.
Cinder just laughed and made some comment about Thorne being a drama queen and a whining brat. Wolf seemed to be excited to see how Scarlet would carry out this simple but changeable task. Cress was still somewhat lost.
General P.O.V.
Scarlet, still in a position that could pose some real danger to Captain Carswell Thorne, started to squeeze the tomato in her tight grip. She raised her arm up dramatically and then brought the tomato down on Thorne's head.
Splat!
Wolf, unexpectedly, started cracking up. Then Scarlet stepped back, not bothering to apologize for "accidentally" hitting Thorne's smug head with her knuckles alongside the rotten tomatoes. She then proceeded to hurl the remaining 4 tomatoes at Thorne's face. (The imagery is left up to you. ;) )
"Scarlet. Truth or dare?" Thorne said, attempting an even tone.
Scarlet narrowed her eyes.
"Dare," she said.
"Dare yet again!" Cinder said.
Iko whispered something in Thorne's ear.
"One step ahead of you Iko," Thorne said.
