"So, first, I say something I've never done, and if one of you has done it, you drink, and if none of you has, I drink. Then we take turns." Beth explains the rules to her drinking game to Daryl and Andie. "You really don't know this game?"

"I ain't never needed a game to get lit before." He tells her.

"How did you never play this at parties?" Zoe nudges Andie's foot with her own; they're all sitting in a circle in the middle of the living room now.

"I didn't go to parties."

"That's not true." Theo argues.

"My apologies, Mr. Stalker. Please, remind me." The brunette says, staring at the glass in her hand that she hasn't taken a drink out of.

"Alright, smartass." He shoots her a dirty look. "You told me about the blacklight party that Aiden helped Danny throw."

"I wasn't exactly a willing participant. It was in Derek's loft, where I lived." She glances at him, and he shrugs.

"Still went."

"Yes, I left my bedroom to kick Aiden's ass for snaking my keys."

"That's not all that happened though, is it?"

"It was too loud for party games, dumbass. The bass coming out of the speakers just about blew out the windows... God, I hated Halloween."

"But you still dressed up." He smirks. "Or was it just Aiden's body paint?"

Andie rolls her eyes, shaking her head at his attempt to get a rise out of her. She knows he's trying to get under Daryl's skin with the implication. Especially since he's already told them that she used to sleep with Aiden.

"So, should we start?" Zoe asks, seeing Daryl's irritation as Theo grows smug.

"How does sweet little Beth know this game?" Andie asks. "Is there a darker side to you that you've been holding out on us?"

"My friends played." The blonde tells them. "I watched."

"That's not as interesting."

"Okay, I'll start." She looks at Daryl. "I've never...shot a crossbow. So, now you drink."

"Ain't much of a game." He says before drinking; Andie takes her first drink. "Now Zoe goes. We'll go around the circle."

"I don't know. I've never... I've never been on my own before." Zoe says; Andie, Daryl, and Theo all take a drink.
