1. Hit or Miss

Chapter Fifty-Six

Dan and I battled for three rounds for what seemed to take long than what it really was. It was one to one and the final battle had been long but not to my advantage. Dan shockingly had a huge up on me that he and the Grumps had done challenges and VS on this off the show as well. If I had known this I would have more than likely decline for bets. I watched for one more time Kirby blast off into hell and found my features falling. Dan on the other hand was busy doing a ridiculous victory dance as the winning screen appeared.

"Do you have to keep dancing?" I asked slightly annoyed.

"Uh, YEAH!" Dan turned around to shake his butt and I reached over and grabbed it, "HEY!" Dan touched the ceiling as I now laughed. Dan spun around and sat on my lap for once. It was quiet the sight and I could tell his height difference as well. His legs stretched to the end of the couch and he still towered over me just now in an awkward way. I sighed up at him as he dangled the keys in front of me.

"Yes, yes, I get to drive!" I said rolling my eyes. Dan nodded but I noticed something in them. "Alright, I see something, what are you plotting?" I playfully eyed him as he shook his head slowly.

"Nothin'! Not-a-thing!" Dan said with a giggle. I kept eyeing him as he giggled a little harder.

"Don't believe you, at all!" I laughed. Dan's smile turned into a pouty lip and I sighed.

"No tricks baby," Dan scooted closer to me and snuggled me, "I wuv you too much!" he said in a child-like coo. I remained eyeing him and he snuggled me more.

"Danny..." I noticed his phone was going off. Dan peppered my neck in kisses and I squealed trying to grab his phone. "BABE, YOUR PHONE!" I finally got out and he pulled me sideways with him so he could reach it.

"Heylo!" Dan said cheerfully. His one arm wrapped around my collarbone and I leaned into his side. His thumb rubbed my shoulder and I waited patiently as he talked. "No, no, we're totally ready! I was just waiting to see when you guys wanted to- oh OH, no that'd be fine! Yeah I whipped her ass in a game so she'll be driving! Ha, no I'll totally let her know! Alright, see ya then!" Dan hung up and smiled down at me.

"Let me guess, they're ready and thought we came back to-" I guessed as Dan was way ahead of me nodding.

"Of course! Um I'm gonna change you wanna go start the car?" Dan asked shrugging. I shrugged and grabbed his keys. Dan shut his door as I headed toward the front yard. I unlocked Dan's car and slid in just sort of wondering why this was a big deal to him. Why had he made the bet and this was my fate? I turned on his radio and instead of letting it play his station, I hooked up a blue tooth connection and looked to my phone for my own music. I nodded with a smile when the song I had been searching for came up after a thousand skips.

In times that are common, but not far and few I tended to lean toward a band that seems to stand out among the others. I knew Dan would eventually find out about the other side musically of me so I figured let's do it now! The chorus of bells and lighter percussion faded in and the alternative beats were soothing. The pause before the verse hit a few seconds in and I decided to sing it.

"I can't say I didn't see it comin', I pushed the peddle and we hit the wall. I can't say I don't want nothing. I want it all or nothing at all. I shoulda known, shoulda know better, I can't say I didn't see ya fall. I wanna save all your love letters. I want it all, or nothing at all. YOU FEEL YOUR HEART BEAT LOUDEST WHEN IT'S BREAKIN', YOU AND I BOTH KNOW OUR FATAL FLAWS, WE BOTH KNOW THAT LOVE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT! I WANT YOU, ALL OR NOTHIN' AT ALL!" I jumped before the chorus continued in due to someone flinging open the passenger to scare me. I turned down the music and he made a face.
