Tobias's POV
"We're home!" I shout while walking through the door, no one answers. I turn to Tris who has Mason in her arms.
"Where are they?" I ask.
"I don't know maybe they left?" She answers more like a question.
"No, even if they did at least one of them had to stay here to pass out candy." She nods at my answer and we start to walk further into the house. When we get into the living room I see the group sprawled across the living room looking as bored as can be.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Tris asks.
"Well while you two were out taking your son trick or treating we were sitting here, bored and having to give out candy and a lot of them were screaming girls hoping to see you." Uriah complains.
"None of you guys came up with anything fun to do?" I ask surprised.
"No my brain is fried!" Uriah exclaims. I roll my eyes and walk to the couch that Zeke is sprawled all over and move his feet out of the way then sit down. He shoots me a little glare and props his feet up in my lap. I roll my eyes at him but don't do anything.
"Well what if we just played some truth or dare like we used to back in the days." I suggest.
"Four!" Uriah exclaims and tackles me with a hug,"You are a genius!"
"Yeah I know now get off of me." I complain and pry him off of me.
"Who's up for a game of truth or dare??" Uriah exclaims. Everyone in the room erupts in cheers and we all get seated around the living room. Tris and I sit on the couch with Mason in between both of us. Christina and Will sit on the love seat, Zeke sits in one of the recliner chairs with Shauna in his lap, and Uriah and Marlene got forced to sit on the floor.
"Ok so everyone knows the rules. If you refuse to do a truth or dare then you have to remove a piece of clothing, socks don't count. Since Mason is to young to play he will help us come up with ideas if we need help. Everyone got it?" A response of 'yeah's go around the room,"Good. Since I went over the rules, I go first."
"But I always go first." Zeke pouts."Not today." Uriah says in a sing-song voice,"Ok! Chris! Truth or dare?"
"Let's start this off with a truth." She answers.
Uriah lets out a groan,"That's no fun! Fine if you got to be reborn as someone in our group of friends. Who would you pick and why?"
"Probably Mason. I mean let's face it, he's got a pretty nice life going for him."
"Ok fair enough. You're turn." Uriah says.
"Shauna. Truth or dare?" Christina asks.
"Dare." She replies.
"Ok then I dare you to let Zeke take your phone and text someone from your contacts." Christina dares.
"Really Chris? I don't think that's a very good idea.." Shauna protests.
"Well it's either that or you have to take off a clothing item." Christina says with a smirk.
Shauna looks down at her phone then over to Zeke who is currently giving her the puppy eyes. She lets out an exasperated sigh and hands Zeke her phone,"Fine! I will do the dare!"
"Ok well we should check back on the texts in a couple of minutes and keep the game going while we wait." Tris suggests.
"Will. Truth or dare?"
"I'm gonna have to go with a dare."
"Ok I dare you to drink that spoiled milk that's been sitting in the fridge for three months now." Shauna dares.
"Are you serious?" Will asks slowly.
"Dead serious." She answers with the same serious expression that he had.
"There is no way I'm doing that." Will says after a couple seconds of silence then takes off his shirt.
"Awwwww come on pansycake that dare wasn't that bad." Uriah taunts.
"Fine Uriah, truth or dare?" Will asks with a smirk on his face.
"Dare. Bring it on."
"I dare YOU to drink that spoiled milk." Uriah doesn't do anything he just sits there for a while thinking.
"Well played my friend, well played." He says suddenly then takes off his shirt.
"The almighty Uriah backs out of a dare." Zeke taunts.
"Well I would rather not die tonight thank you very much. Now, Zeke you know the question." Uriah says.
"Give me a big fat dare." He answers.
"Ok I dare you to set up a 'lemonade stand' in the elevator and try to get people to buy your non existing lemonade."
"Do you know how many kids are out there right now? It's Halloween one of their parents are going to call the cops claiming that there's some creepy man trying to sell their kids 'lemonade'. Then I will get arrested and that will be the end of my life for me."
"No you won't, because Four will be with you." Uriah replies calmly.
"Wait? Why am I suddenly included on this plan?" I ask suddenly.
"Because your famous and if there is a problem then you can get him out of it."
"Well if I am standing in the elevator with him then people will notice me and he will never be able to sell some 'lemonade'." I retort.
"That's why you will wear a black hoodie and sunglasses. Therefore no one will ever notice."
"Wow Uriah you seem to have this whole thing planned out." Tris states.
"Yeah well my brain is just so amazing that I can come up with this stuff on the top of my head." He answers proudly.
"Alright I will do the dare." Zeke says.
"Yay!! I will come with you two since I came up with the dare and someone needs to video tape this." Uriah exclaims and throws one of my black hoodies and black glasses at me,"Come on I already set up the stand in the elevator."
"Wait? When did you have the time to do that? You didn't even know we were going to play until a couple of minutes ago." Marlene says.
"I was going to dare someone to do it anyway even when we werent playing truth or dare. It just works out that we ended up playing the game." He replies and gets up then walks out the door motioning us to follow him out. I look over at Zeke and we both roll our eyes at the idiot then get up and follow him out.
"Four. You have to put on your disguise." Uriah says sternly while pressing the elevator button.
"I was getting there calm down woman." I defend and put on the hoodie and glasses. Right after that the doors open and Uriah, Zeke, and I pile into the empty elevator that has a little table with a yellow sign that says lemonade on it.
"Oh yeah one last thing," Uriah says while pressing the lobby button,"You can't stop unless you sell at least one cup of 'lemonade'."
"But no one is going to be stupid enough to buy it. I'm literally selling air." Zeke complains.
"Yep and for ten dollars too." Uriah states and slaps a sign that says $10 on the stand.
"What!? Ten dollars? Who would pay that much for nothing!?" Zeke exclaims.
"Someone would. I mean if they live in this place then they can afford to give you five thousand for it." Uriah shoots back which leads one of those good old fashion Pedrad brother arguments.
"This is going to be a long night." I sigh and lean against the elevator wall. There is a ding and the doors open revealing four teen girls that look about twelve. Zeke and Uriah shut up as the girls look around confused and look at me like I'm a rapist. Thanks Uriah it's not at all creepy for some guy wearing a black hoodie and glasses to just stand in the corner of the elevator. Slowly the girls walk in and stand awkwardly in the middle and far away from me.
"Do you girls want to buy some lemonade?" Zeke asks and I must admit. That was pretty creepy too. They look over at him then one of the girls quickly whips out her phone in a hurry. She starts to dial 9 then a 1 and before she can press the last 1 Uriah quickly runs over to her and takes the phone out of her hands.
"Hey! What are you doing?" She exclaims.
"Girl I love your phone case it's so fabulous!" He exclaims in excitement and inconspicuously flashes the case to me. The case has a picture of me on it with my name inside a heart. By now I should be used to this, but every time I see something like that I get kind of creeped out.
"Thanks now give it back." She demands stubbornly. Uriah mouths something to me but him being Uriah he is the worst at mouthing words.
"What?" I ask a little to loudly. The girls look over at me and quickly run further away from me forgetting I was still there.
"Please sir- give me back my phone." The girl pleads. Once again Uriah mouths something to me but I still couldn't get it.
"For pickle's sake!" Zeke exclaims then gets up from his booth and pulls down my hood and rips of my sunglasses.
"Ohhhh that's what he was saying." I say innocently. Next thing I know my ear drums are broken by high pitched screams and four girls running up to me. One of them trips and almost falls face forward but I quickly catch her before she can. The girl looks up at me and from what it looks like, she forgets to breath. I chuckle and help her stand up.
"You're Four!" One of the other girls shouts.
"That would be me. Nice to meet you guys. Sorry we scared you these two are my idiot best friends and we were doing a dare." I apologize.
"This is the greatest day of my life! We are literally your biggest fans!" The fourth girl exclaims. The elevator dings and the doors open to the lobby. They quickly get a picture with me and head on their way while I put back on my disguise. A man walks in and presses one of the buttons.
"Hello sir would you like to buy some of my freshly squeezed lemonade?" Zeke asks while holding up a cup with nothing in it.
"How much?" The man asks while walking closer to him then takes out his wallet.
"Ten dollars."
"That's it? I will buy five then!" He exclaims and hands Zeke fifty dollars. Zeke looks down at the money and back at the man in shock. He then hands him five empty cups. Right as he does the elevator door dings and opens.
"Thank you so much young man. Happy Halloween." The guy says and walks out.
"See told ya! People who live in this apartment building have so much money that they just throw around like its nothing." Uriah exclaims and walks over to Zeke then plucks the money out of his hands. Zeke, with his amazing reflexes then snatches the money back out of Uriah's hands.
"Hey! That is my money! I came up with this dare so I get to keep it!" Uriah exclaims like a child.
"Yeah well I was the one dared to do the dare so I should be able to keep the money." Zeke shoots back. I roll my eyes and grab the money out of Zeke's hands.
"I say I keep it because I'm the only one not acting like a child."
"But-but you have a lot of that anyways." Uriah complains.
"Yeah which you guys are living off of because last time I checked, you two don't have jobs." I retort.
"Fine you can take the money..." Zeke drags off. I grin in satisfaction and stuff the cash in my pocket.
"Come on let's go back to the apartment." I suggest and press the top level in the elevator and put in the code. When the elevator opens into the apartment with the group is sitting there right where we left them but they are watching something on the tv while laughing. We walk into the place and see that they are watching the security tape from the elevator.
"Where did you get that from?" I ask.
"Will was able to do some of his techy work and hack into the security tape in the elevator." Tris replies right as the video ends.
"You guys could've just waited till we got back home to watch the video that Uriah took." Zeke says.
"Well knowing Uriah we figured that he forgot to record it." Shauna answers.
"Didn't you Uriah?" Marlene asks.
"I may have kinda forgotten..." He trails off.
"And that's why we came prepared." Christina says in satisfaction.
"Oh yeah we havent read the texts from Shauna's dare yet." Will says.
"Oh yeah. Zeke. Phone. Now." Shauna demands with her hand extended. Zeke slowly walks over to her with a smirk on his face and hands her the phone. She looks through her phone for a second then stops what she is doing and looks back up at Zeke.
"Who did he text?" Tris asks.
"He texted my ex, Sam." Shauna answers.
"Oh drama!" Christina exclaims and scoots closer to Shauna like a school teacher and a child.
"Dude you texted her ex?" I ask Zeke quietly.
"Yeah. Why is that such a big deal?" He asks.
"Because when they ended they broke up because he was moving, they still liked each other. I know she loves you, but if he knows that Shauna texted him then he will try to get back together with her." I answer.
"Oh we don't need to worry about that." He says with a smirk. I look at him curiously then back at Shauna.
"Shauna read the texts out loud." I tell her and sit on the couch next to Tris and wrap my arms around her.
"Where's Mason?" I ask her suddenly when I realize he wasn't in the living room.
"He fell asleep so I put him to bed. He's not lost unlike last week..." She says with her eyebrows raised.
"Wha- what? Who told you?"
"I guess in a way you can say Will. He did hack into the security cameras so we saw what happened last week. Why would you ever leave Mason home alone with Uriah?" She asks.
"Uriah how could yiu be that irresponsible. How do you expect me to raise kids with you when you couldn't even watch him for a couple of hours?" Marlene asks.
"Will why didn't you tell me any of this? You know how much I love gossip." Christina says.
"Ok how about we have this conversation later," I say breaking up the fights,"I think Shauna was going to read us something."
"Oh yeah!" Everyone says at the same time and gathers around the floor by Shauna who is sitting on the chair. I look over and see that Zeke is the only one standing up and looks a little nervous.
"Dude are you alright?" I ask him.
"Yeah, yeah I'm all good." He says I give him a look that tells him I dont believe him then turn my attention back to Shauna.
(A/N: this is the message which Shauna Is reading aloud)
Hey Sam long time no see.
S: Wow Shauna is that actually you?
In the flesh.
S: How have you been? It's been a while and you haven't been responding to my texts.
You know I'm great. Great friends and not to mention the world's greatest boyfriend, life couldn't be better.
"Wow Zeke of course you would put that." Shauna comments while shaking her head but continues to read.
S: Oh. You're still with that guy?
Of course have been since senior year in high school.
S: I have to ask this, why him? I mean he is so... Dumb.
Why do people keep saying that? I mean he's actually really smart, and he also doesn't have a flat butt. Just putting that out there.
"Everything about that sentence is a lie." Christina comments while laughing.
S: I still think we should be together.
No. I love Zeke.
S: Come on you have to admit we were such a better couple together. We can still be one. Break up with your boyfriend and get back with me. We are perfect for each other.
We were never perfect for each other. That was just a stage in our lives, a little fling. It wasn't meant to last.
S: Shauna you and I both know that you're just lying to yourself. I love you Shauna, I always have and I always will.
Listen here buddy. I don't know who you think you are, but I draw the line there. Let me properly introduce myself. Hi I'm Zeke, Shauna's boyfriend.
"Oooooooo!" Everyone says at once and urges Shauna to continue.
S: Wait what?
Ha! Bet You thought this was Shauna all along. Yeah well it's not. You see she was dared to let me text anyone in her contact list and guess who I picked? So basically she didn't text you and she never was going to.
S: Wow not to bad for an idiot like you.
Yeah well I'm full of surprises. Now stop texting my girl and definietly stop telling her you 'love her'.
S: It's funny how you think I'm going to listen to a brainless piece of trash like you.
Well guess what the brainless piece of trash has that you don't? I think you and I both know the answer to that.
S: Soon she is going to dump you and run back to me. Then guess who will be the winner here. So don't enjoy the spotlight for to long.
If I ever see you near her I will personally kick your butt. Plus she's not going to be my girlfriend for long.
Shauna looks up at Zeke with a hurt expression,"What?"
He shakes his head and walks closer to her,"Keep going."
S: I knew you two wouldn't last! See I always win.
Shes not going to be my girlfriend for long, because I have to ask her a very imortant question when she reads this.
S: No you better do what I think you're going to do.
"Shauna," Zeke says. She looks up to see him on one knee holding a ring box,"I love you more than anything else in this world and I can't see me spending my life with anyone else but you. So Shauna, will you marry me?"
"Yes!!!" She exclaims with tears in her eyes and tackles him with a hug. We all erupt in cheers especially Christina who is doing her usual fangirling.
"My brother is finally growing up." Uriah says while wiping fake tears.
"You're such an idiot." I comment while shaking my head.
"You know I have feelings too right?" Uriah asks.
"Yeah but it's just fun to play with them." Will defends me.
"Yeah buddy!" I exclaim and give him a high five.
"I feel like no one here appreciates me." Uriah says shocked.
"We love you Uri, but we also love to play with your feelings too." Marlene says while giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Relationship goals right there." I tell Tris while slinging my arm around her.
"Oh ok I will be sure to criticize you for now on." She replies.
"No no no. I'm joking no need to do that." I say.
She starts to laugh,"Ok fine I won't."
I look at her and smile,"I love you."
She looks up at me and returns the smile,"I love you too."
