DARE 001 |                     ❛ WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A SECOND TO                                                 MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ?? ❜

IT was safe to say the girl had made a name for herself after the little stint she pulled at one of the biggest republican rallies of the year made national headlines: ‘ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTER BOLTS ON STAGE DURING SPEECH TO SHOW REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, DONALD TRUMP, A PIECE OF HER MIND’; who knew a spit in the face could cause so much controversy ?? she certainly didn’t. did she regret it ?? of course not. would she do it again ?? in a heartbeat. UNFORTUNATELY, this time around there was something stopping her –– the little message that flashed across her iphone screen, one that tainted the beautiful background displaying a hectic night out with her other half. 

YOU HAVE BEEN D A R E D: vana, do you remember that time you decided that you agreed with all of donald trumps’ policies and young people should in fact be voting for him? we do too. convince five strangers that their best bet in this election is to vote for donald trump because hilary clinton will do nothing but bring this country to the ground. after all, who can say no to such a pretty face? do you accept your dare?

CRYSTAL blue, almost green, eyes scanned over the cryptic words as she nearly broke out into a fit of laughter. were they ACTUALLY serious ?? not only would she have to eat her hatred-fueled words, but she’d have to turn them into positive, convincing ones. it took her a moment to contemplate her decision, “–– ah fuck it.” and without hesitation, the blonde tapped the illuminated letters spelling out the word ACCEPT.

SHE gazed at herself in the mirror, eyes squinting at the mismatched attire adorning her frame. “too gay –– too GAY.” she shook her head and before she knew it, she found herself moseying into her roommate dylan’s closet. sure, the other blonde was BADASS much like vana, but unlike the leather and tattered jeans her attire consisted of dylan’s was more –– well, girlier and approachable. swapping the combat boots for a pair of heels and smudged liner for some subtle mascara, the activist took one last look at herself before departing.

THE city streets were booming with tourists, natives, performers, so it was a given vana was bound to find a least a few contenders she could easily sway into her manipulative demure. and just across the way, she’d spotted her first two targets –– OLDER men, business-savvy, the type that looked as though they preferred them younger. perfect. “EXCUSE me,” the stern click of her heels offset the delicate tone in which she forced through her powder pink lips, “hi there, i didn’t mean to bother you two lovely men but i was wondering if you had time to discuss this year’s election ??”

“IT’S funny you mention it, honey, we were just talking about it.” the dark-haired male piped up, his eyes CLEARLY wandering to take in the sight of her while the other nodded along with him. “we were actually discussing the whole BERNIE or BUST ordeal, he was probably one of the only GOOD ones.” hearing the word HONEY uttered from the male’s lips nearly made her cringe, but the bald male’s words brought her at ease. at least SOME business-men weren’t that deranged. vana so desperately wanted to agree with him, she did, but there was a task at hand that needed to be completely. “ah yes, of course, bernie sanders was in fact a very delightful candidate yet now the DEMOCRATIC party is stuck with hillary. it’s tragic, really. here you have a woman who has only been elected due to the fact that she’s a woman when she sure as hell should be locked up for those ridiculous emails. could you imagine leaving her in the hands of our country’s top secret information ?? knowing her she’d probably post a military invasion strategy on facebook as opposed to the meme she wanted to post in order to relate to the ‘millennials’ –– that is, if she even cares for our troops.” her words struck a visible chord in the men as the two exchanged relatively interested looks. “now here you have TRUMP a smart, strategic businessman much like the both of you. wouldn’t it be nice to have someone like you in office ?? someone you can TRUST, someone who knows how to get things done. AND you two, of all people should know this. you get things done, right ?? i mean if you didn’t, you probably wouldn’t be where you are today. he’s a hard worker and i can assure you he’ll FIGHT to make america the best it can be. we’ll come out on top, we’ll be the BEST we can be. we’ll be GREAT again.” at this point, the two men were practically eating the words straight out of the palm of her hand, then again they were probably just gawking at the cleavage practically pushed up to her chin. “wouldn’t you like to see someone in your area of expertise climbing to the top ?? it shines a positive light out businessmen –– i mean, after all, isn’t their a stigma around you guys, that you’re conniving and VINDICTIVE ?? prove them wrong – vote for TRUMP and prove all of those people wrong.” they stood for a moment, eyeing the girl as if she were crazy and it caused a bout of doubt to course through her veins. however, their beat of silence was soon replaced with impressive nods. “you know what –– yeah, you’re right. you’re absolutely right.” the dark-haired male nodded. “i wasn’t even going to VOTE this year, but you’re right. i’m sick and tired of being pigeon-holed. i never thought of it that way, but i think i’m going to have to contribute. i really do.” 

A sigh of relief withdrew from her lips as she held a hand out, “i’m GLAD i could help. i hope you two have a wonderful rest of the day – and remember we’re here to make america great again.” after shaking their hands and exchanging smiles, vana parted ways. 

TWO down, THREE to go –– so far, so good. 

HER second stop would surely be a quick one: sun-kissed tannery. looming outside the venue, her phone pressed to her ear, the girl began to speak just as TWO potential victims made their way out of the business. “i KNOW can you believe it ?? two entire years of free tanning if trump becomes president. when will hillary and her pasty ass ever ?? i guess not only does he want us to think like him, but he wants us to look like him too. right ?? i’m not mad about it. maybe if more people vote for him –– then they’ll like, extend it could you imagine ??” the blonde made sure to speak obnoxiously loud in order to draw attention towards her, the fake JERSEY accent clear as day. “YEAH –– i’ll talk to you later. okay, kiss kiss. mwah – tell ma i love her.” she tapped her phone and the slid the device in her pocket only to look up and see the two girls standing before her, evident they were listening in. 

“IS that true ??” the first girl chimed in with an equally distinct, REAL jersey accent to which vana replied. “yeah, can you believe it ?? free tanning for people who vote for TRUMP. like, if he gets elected or somethin’ they like put your name down or in some system of whateva’ and you get two free years of tanning. TWO. i wasn’t even gonna vote but aft’a my sista told me i literally went and registered. i’ll do anythin’ for a free tan, you know what i’m sayin’ ?? like i’m not religious or anythin’ either but i think i just woke up !!” just like the two men, the two women began to engage in conversation of their own – exchanging giddy ‘oh my gods’ and ‘no way !!’ before turning to address a pleased vana. “so like where do we register ??”

FOUR down, ONE to go –– she could almost taste the V I C T O R Y !!

AND here she was with the last trick up her sleeve, but she couldn’t do it without a little help from her secret weapon –– or two for that matter. diving into her bag, she retrieved her trusty megaphone but caught herself before she could use it. chipped nails plucked at the BERNIE 2016 sticker plastered around the handle and with a heavy heart, she tossed it in the trash. taking a step up onto the nearest park bench, the blonde flipped the switch and before she knew it, she’d been attracting a crowd; something she did BEST. “TITS FOR TRUMP !! YES, you heard that right –– tits out for TRUMP. you promise me you’ll vote trump to put that bitch hillary to shame and not only will trump make our america great again, but i’ll make YOUR america great again. COME one, come all. i know you want to.” not only did the impromptu gathering exceeded ten-or-so males, practically drooling over her slender physique, they were eager to succumb to just about anything she said. “NOW, you didn’t think i’d flash you all right away did you ?? i need you to promise me, PROMISE me you’ll make america great again with me.” and with that, the OBLIVIOUS men spewed their acknowledgements. 

NOT only did she do business of her own, fake an accent, and convince fourteen men to vote for TRUMP, she’d completely what she needed to do. she embraced NERVE and completely yet another dare.

[nervequarters]

HERE ARE THE DARES COLLECTED IN ONE PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THEM.

AIDEN ---

aiden, we noticed that the nypd have a picture of you on their facebook page with a little caption that says ‘wanted for questioning’. why don’t you send them a different picture and tell them to use it because you’ve just taken it and you look better in it? here’s where it gets tricky, the picture has to be taken in front of the central park zoo and you must stay there until you can hear the police sirens coming for you. if they catch you, you get $0.

AMARA ---

dear sweet amara, have you told your parents that you’re playing nerve yet? well do it. tell them every single detail about it until they beg you not to do it. tell them until their anxiety equals yours. it’s all on your shoulders, blondie.

ARIELLE ---

arielle, how noble and so not arielle of you to let zola and elena help you pick out your new wardrobe. we never had you down for the girl friendship type, apart from winnie but we all know she’s more of a bro than anyone you know. meet zola and elena in front of the disney store in times square and do not let them know you don’t a new attire. don’t worry though, you don’t have to buy anything. all you have to do is place a big enough item in zola’s pocket for the alarm to go off. if you get caught with her, you score $0.

ATTICUS ---

atticus, your bestie amara is seriously considering telling her parents that she’s playing nerve. isn’t that just a ridiculous idea to even have? convince her that this is the worst thing she could possibly do. don’t worry if she tells them, you won’t be to blame, but the longer you stall her --- the more points you score with us for when you finally decide to join the better half of the team, the players.

BRANDON ---

brandon, convince zola you have a feeling that something terrible will happen to her if she does her dare. try every trick in the book to stop her from doing it. the longer you stall her, the more money she will get deposited into her account.

DYLAN ---

dylan, what kind of messes have you been getting yourself into? first you take part in illegal activities on a regular basis and now you fail your third year at university? well, that’s beyond disappointing, you should be ashamed of yourself. now go ahead and tell your parents one of those things that will be guaranteed to break their hearts. don’t complain though, at least we let you choose which.

ELENA ---

elena, we adore your fashion sense and we think you might be able to help someone with theirs. go and pick up zola and then meet arielle in front of the disney store in times square. arielle would really like to renew her wardrobe and we can think of no two better people to help with that than you and zola. though do note that whilst you’re looking through american apparel’s newest range, you must place a small item in arielle’s pocket. not too small though, we do need the alarm to go off. oh and if you get caught with her, you score $0.

ELIJAH ---

elijah, in the pocket of your coat you will be able to find a single ticket to the musical anastasia. you must attend the show and perform for us a very special mission; save the damsel in distress from being arrested or you’ll both fail your dares. time is ticking and it’s all on you, lover boy.

GABRIEL ---

gabriel, your mother has been designing a gorgeous dress that she’s planning to release in a couple of weeks. go ahead and steal that dress and gift it to dylan, without telling her its origins. when she accepts, and we all know she will, ask her to have dinner with you and your mother. the only catch is that you have to make sure she wears the stolen dress. poor poor dylan, how will she cope with this one?

GEORGIE ---

georgie, accidentally run into jake and tell him that you have his watch. except that you pawned it but you remember the exact shop and you have the money to get it back. walk him to every jewellery shop in new york city, telling him you’re ‘sure it was this one’ every time you get to a new one.

HOLDEN ---

holden, isabelle will be telling atticus that she is pregnant with his child. try to convince her otherwise because you are in love with atticus and it would hurt you to see him be lied to like that. it’s okay if she tells him anyway but do your best to stall her.

ISABELLE ---

isabelle, be a dear and stop lying to your baby daddy. or did you not know you were pregnant? tell atticus you’re three months pregnant and that it’s his --- we’ll tell you when we’ve had enough fun and you can tell him it’s not true.

JACKSON ---

jackson, expect a brand new customer coming just to see you today. isn’t that exciting? when she walks in, and you will know the exact moment that that happens; be nice to her. listen to what she requests of you and then, don’t do it. what you will instead tattoo is the cover of the first ever marvelous madison book exactly where she tells you to. try not to mess it up, it is her face after all.

JAE-IN ---

jae-in, let’s rewrite history, shall we? remember all those dares you watched sydney do without stopping her? here’s your chance at redemption: intercept sydney before she begins her dare. the longer you stall her, the more money gets deposited into her account. oh yeah, and mentioning drew will get syd an extra cash bonus. bringing up austin? we’ll double the final total of the money earned from your task.

JAKE ---

jake, climb a high building. you know one of those ones where if you jump from it you have zero chance of surviving? once you’re up there, yell that you’re gonna jump multiple times until you get people’s attention. stand there for at least twenty minutes then climb down and walk away as if nothing had happened. bonus, if the police comes and you can escape them you’ll win an extra $200.

MADISON ---

madison, visit red rocket tattoo and ask specifically for jackson. you can ask for whatever tattoo you wish for but it must be placed on your left shoulder blade. the only thing you’ll have to worry about is the pain. on a scale of 1 to 10? we’d say a solid 9.

NADIR ---

nadir, walk past a stranger and drop five ice cubes down their back. when they turn around to see who it was, stop in your tracks, turn around and tell them it was you. are you wondering what the catch is? there isn’t one! oh, except for the fact that the stranger has to be lee c. bollinger, the president of columbia university. happy hunting!

NOAH ---

noah, you and winnie must convince arielle that you have seen her father walking drunkenly through new york city. be adamant that it was him and he was calling out arielle’s name. the longer you stall her from completing her dare, the more money will be deposited into her account.

SOFIA ---

sofia, put on your best outfit from your stripping days and hitch a ride to the golden theatre on broadway. what for you ask? well you see, the most prestigious of people are all sat in the audience right now expecting to see a musical of anastasia. what they’ll instead be watching, is one of your old routines from pumps. we went the whole nine yards and had a pole installed right in the middle of the stage for you, knock ‘em dead.

SYDNEY ---

sydney, we’ve been watching you for a while. if there’s one thing we’ve learned about you, it’s how much you love nerve. in fact, you love us so much, you’re going to go to the middle of times square and give an impassioned speech about all of the great things nerve has done for you. your speech has been provided for you, but don’t read ahead. we want it to feel authentic. stop the speech or don't make us believe you? you get $0. 

TREVOR ---

trevor, take a tour of times square in nothing but a pair of boxers and roller skates. if fans stop you for pictures and autographs, decline their request and tell them you are on your way to a ridiculous place. i.e sorry i can’t stop, i’m on my way to buy a lot of chocolate so i can finally have a bath again. you must offer a different excuse for not stopping every time, all of the excuses must make no sense.

VANA ---

vana, do you remember that time you decided that you agreed with all of donald trumps’ policies and young people should in fact be voting for him? we do too. convince five strangers that their best bet in this election is to vote for donald trump because hilary clinton will do nothing but bring this country to the ground. after all, who can say no to such a pretty face?

WINNIE ---

winnie, you and noah must convince arielle that you have seen her father walking drunkenly through new york city. be adamant that it was him and he was calling out arielle’s name. the longer you stall her from completing her dare, the more money will be deposited into her account.

ZOLA ---

zola, we adore your fashion sense and we think you might be able to help someone with theirs. go and pick up elena and then meet arielle in front of the disney store in times square. arielle would really like to renew her wardrobe and we can think of no two better people to help with that than you and elena. though do note that whilst you’re looking through american apparel’s newest range, you must place a small item in elena’s pocket. not too small though, we do need the alarm to go off. oh and if you get caught with her, you score $0.
