Game time

Rick was nervous. What was Pete about to propose already? As much as Rick was really excited about their new agreement, Rick wasn't sure if the girls would be into anything or if he could even go through with it.

"Let's play Truth or Dare like we're in high school again!" proposed Pete.

The girls looked at each other with incredulous smiles. "Of course that's what you boys want to play. What's the first dare - going skinny dipping?" Jan joked.

Leslie laughed and looked at Rick sheepishly.

That's odd, Rick thought. Why did she immediately look at me?

Pete replied, "Fair enough. We play truth or dare, but the girls come up with the challenges to keep it PG-13."

"I'm fine with that," Leslie blurt out. She looked at Jan who shot back a look like WTF?

"Ok Rick's up first!" Pete offered as he popped out of the pool to grab more drinks for everyone. If this was gonna happen at least he could keep the liquid courage flowing.

"Look, I don't know about this. This game always goes sideways, especially with these two yahoos," Jan protested to Leslie, pointing at the boys.

"What's the harm Jan? We'll control the dares so it won't get out of hand."

"Ok, so are we gonna do this or not?! Rick's waiting for his first question," Pete urged.

The girls whispered for a minute then turned to Rick. "If you were to die tomorrow, who would you prefer that Jan hook up with first? And you have to choose someone we know."

"Dude! You can't win with that one," Pete laughed.

"No it's alright. We're all really close, so I'd want her to be with someone she's comfortable with and that I can trust to provide her security. I'd be ok if you all wanted to live together. It'd be great to have the support of friends," Rick answered, thinking he was outsmarting them.

"Really?! I asked who you'd prefer I sleep with first and you say Pete and Leslie?!" Jan spurted out.

Rick tried to deflect and backtrack, realizing he wasn't able to steer the question the only way he thought would be safe. "I guess I wasn't thinking of sleeping with them, but just for security and emotional support," Rick tried again.

"Ok so nice try, but who would you prefer Jan had sex with after you die?" Pete was not helping Rick get out of this easily.

"Truthfully, Pete is probably the only person I truly trust. I don't know. I guess Pete then." Rick couldn't shake the conversation him and Pete had recently and that's all he could think of to say.

Pete spit out his drink. He couldn't believe Rick already broke the ice. He looked over at Jan and raised his hands in the air with a smirk.

Jan's mouth dropped open in shock.
