Eadlyn's POV
The day was as normal as any other. I was on my way to the kitchen to get a snack when I heard laughter coming from the Men's Parlor. Not just laughter, but extremely loud laughter.

Sucking in a breath of annoyance, I turned around and decided to pay the boys a little visit. Maybe while I was there I'd be able to teach them how to be more polite inside the palace.

When I walked into the room, I was shocked to see Ean, Henri, Kile, Erik, and Hale sitting in a circle on the floor. Their faces were red and they looked like they were dying. Is that how guys always laughed?

Erik noticed my angry expression first. He placed his finger over his lips and pointed to the corner of the room, where the telephone was located. Fox was on the phone, talking to someone. I walked over to him and raised my eyebrows accusingly. He held up a finger, indicating that I should wait for him to get off the phone.

"Oh, yes, hello," he said into the receiver. "I was wondering if I could use your changing room. I got this pair of pants for my anniversary and I'm not sure if they'll fit me."

What?

Fox turned around and gave the guys a thumbs up. They all started laughing again. "What's that?" Fox turned back to the phone. "Am I in the store? Oh, no, no I'm here at my house and I need a changing room so I can try on my new pants."

This nonsense had gone on long enough. I yanked the phone out of his hand and placed it back against the wall. Then I turned around and glared at Fox.

"You better have a very good explanation for why you were acting so disrespectful," I said, crossing my arms.

Fox held up his hands defensively. "Woah woah woah. This wasn't my idea! It was his!" He quickly pointed at Kile, who'd been laughing his head off. Suddenly he stopped and smiled innocently at me.

I walked over to Kile and moved my hands to my hips. I raised my eyebrow, asking for an explanation.

"Oh, come on Eady," he held up his hands. "We were just playing a harmless game of Truth or Dare."

"Truth or Dare?" I asked suspiciously. "What's that?"

I heard a collection of gasps all around me. Kile's mouth dropped open in shock.

"You've never played Truth or Dare?" He asked.

"No," I shrugged, not sure what the big deal was.

"Then you've never lived," he said dramatically. "You'll just have to play with us to make up for it, I guess."

"Yeah!" Hale clapped his hands excitedly. "You should play with us, Eadlyn!" The rest of the boys chimed in with their opinions. Everyone wanted me to join the game.

I rolled my eyes. What the heck? "Okay, I'll play." The boys cheered, and Henri pumped his fist in the air. I almost laughed. Almost.

I went over and sat between Erik and Fox, not entirely sure how excited I was to play this game.

"Hmm," Fox looked around the circle and stroked his chin evilly. "Kile. Truth or Dare?"

Kile gulped. "I'll probably regret this. Dare. I choose dare."

Fox smiled. "Play 'this little piggy went to market' on Eadlyn's toes."
