The Dare That Started it All (1D/5SOS fanfiction)

Chapter 22

All the girls’ eyes immediately snap open once they hear the three simple words. All that’s on the table is a round box about 9 inches across, and covered with a simple lid.

“What is it?” Gianna asks anxiously going to grab the lid.

“No!” Calum says and playfully slaps her hand.

“What was that for?” Gianna asks putting her hand at her side.

“You guys have to guess what it is,” Luke begins to explain.

“Really?” Why can’t we just open the box and see what it is?” May whines.

“Because that’s no fun,” Liam says with a slight smile.

“Alright, Lexi you are first, what’s your guess?” Louis asks with a slight smile.

“Hmm, I don’t know,” Lexi says with a pause and then giggles slightly.

“Just guess anything,” Louis responds and the other boys nod in agreement.

“Ummm, I don’t know a pan?” Lexi responds in a questioning voice.

“That’s not it, what do you think it is?” Niall asks motioning to Elizabeth.

“Ummm, maybe a huge CD?” Elizabeth guesses laughing.

“Nope, good guess though,” Niall says with a smile.

“What do you think it is?” Zayn asks Sofía.

“A steering wheel?” Sofía asks in a questioning voice as well.

“That’s not it either, why would we get you just a steering wheel?” Zayn asks turning to Sofía.

“I have no idea, that’s all that came to mind when I see something circular,” Sofía responds shyly.

“What do you think it is Nanci?” Michael asks turning his body to face her.

All Nanci does is shrug her shoulders, Michael imitates her right after she does it. Nanci shoves Michael in a playful way causing the surprise to be knocked over splattering all over the ground.

“Michael look at what you did!” Nanci screams and then laughs at Michael’s priceless face.

 “It was a cake!” Jessie squeals and then bursts out laughing at what the cake says.

“What’s so funny?” Alyssa asks walking over to the cake splattered on the ground.

“Yeah, what’s so funny?” Elizabeth pipes up.

“What the cake said,” Jessie replies earning a look of confusion from all the boys except Liam.

All the girls huddle around the cake that is splattered across the floor with some frosting across the room. They all erupt with laughter at what the cake says. All the boys push their way to see what the cake says and they look at each other confused.

“Why does the cake say ‘it’s 10:30- I’m tired. Here’s your cake?” Harry asks looking around.

“Is this supposed to be some sick joke?” Louis asks looking around.

“Well it says that because I made the cake because I figured something like this would happen,” Liam begins to explain.

“Smart,” Michael mumbles and looks at his feet covered in frosting.

“Here’s the real surprise girls,” Liam says and then another cake is brought out about the same size.

Sofía delicately takes the cover off of the cake and looks at the pink, cursive letters that spell out ‘we will miss you guys’ causing a wave of awes to echo through the room from the girls. Just shortly after the boys let out a stifled laugh in response.

“Who wants cake?” Luke asks as he holds up a plate of freshly cut cake.

“Me! Me! Me!” Niall screams like a five year old and runs over to Luke mauling his arm like a dog that hasn’t ate something in a week.

“Ladies first!” Luke screams and then Niall backs away like a scared puppy dog.

“You’re right Luke, ladies first. Niall go ahead and take the cake,” Elizabeth teases and Niall quickly grabs the piece of cake happily. Only taking a minute to realize what Elizabeth meant.

“Hey!” Niall says like a five year old and begins to chase Elizabeth around the room.

“N-Niall. I can’t run anymore,” Elizabeth says out of breath after ten minutes of running.

“Ok, here’s your prize,” Niall says as he scoops frosting off of his cake and then spreads it across Elizabeth’s face.

“Oh Horan you are going to pay for that one,” Elizabeth says flinging frosting from the ground onto Niall’s face.

That was the start of the frosting and cake food fight. Frosting was being flung across the room along with chunks of cake. Everyone just kept throwing it all over the place, and then the manager of Nandos came out with the most disgusted face humanly possible.

“What is going on out here?” the Nandos’ manager asks in a stern voice.

All that everyone does is freeze in their spot covered from head to toe like a human rainbow, but with frosting. The manager asks the same question again to them louder and sterner this time.

“We may or may not have been throwing cake,” Liam says placing the cake on the table pretending it wasn’t in his hand.

“How is cake supposed to come out of this rug?” the manager asks pointing to the pile of frosting.

“ummm…” Liam says and awkwardly looks away.

“We’ll pay for it to be cleaned,” Louis says quickly saving Liam’s pause.

“You better, now get out of here,” the manager replies sternly.

Everybody quickly spins on the heels of their feet and make a bee line for the door. They all are met by the bone-chilling wind on the outside of Nandos. They stand there for a few minutes thinking of what to do next.

“Now what do we do?” Niall asks shaking violently from the gust of wind that flew by.

“I have no idea,” Louis pipes up looking at everyone.

“How much longer until the cab would have picked us up?” Luke asks looking at Liam.

“Two hours,” Liam says after checking the time on his phone.

“Well now how are we going to get a ride?” Zayn asks looking Liam for answers.

“Well, I know someone we can call,” Liam says pulling his phone out of his pocket.
