"So.." Daniel said quietly as he sat next to Chris in the living room.
"Yeah." Josie said absently as Ben elbowed her sharply. Shooting him a glance he wordlessly urged her to say something.
"So, how do you like Australia so far?" Chris asked politely as Josie sighed heavily.
"Just fine, thanks." She said shortly, ending the conversation quickly.
"All right, that's it." Ben said, standing up quickly. "This sucks. Are there any parties going on?" Ben asked looking at his friends hopefully. Shaking their heads from side to side, Chris and Daniel answered sadly. "Well, then. I think it's time Josie met some new people." Ben smiled happily. "Let's have a party of our own. Nothing big, just a few people." He promised as Josie looked at him uncertainly.
"All right," She agreed, "but only if Nathan is around."
"Deal." Ben nodded, reaching for the phone, and calling a few friends.

"So how do you like Newcastle?" Renee, Chris' girlfriend asked as Josie sighed. ,p> "About as much as I did when Chris asked me that earlier." Josie laughed as did everyone around her.
"I've got an idea." Jessica, one of the five people Ben had invited, asked. Everyone looked at her expectantly as she crossed her legs in front of her. "Let's play truth or dare." She suggested as a round of agreements sounded.
"Okay, I'll go first." Chris smiled. "Jason. Truth or Dare?" He asked as a dare was suggested and followed through with.
"Okay, Chris, truth or dare?" Jason asked.
"You can't dare back." Chris warned as Jason frowned.
"All right, I pass." He said as Daniel grinned.
"Nathan truth or dare?" Daniel asked as he and Ben shared a knowing glance.
"Truth." He said as he rubbed a hand through his short hair,
"Is it true that you have the hot's for Amber?" Daniel winked as Nathan went a pale shade of red.
"Yes," He mumbled softly as a short red haired girl giggled. Josie could only guess that this was the infamous Amber she had heard so much about. "All right." He said, breaking the awkward moment. "Ben, truth or dare?" Nathan grinned as Ben cracked his knuckles.
"Dare all the way." He said, flashing a smile once more.
"All right then." Nathan said loudly. "I dare you to kiss Josie." He proclaimed as the smile quickly disappeared off of Ben's face.
"What?" Ben asked quickly as Nathan, Chris, and Daniel all tried to stifle laughs.
"Kiss her!" Nathan urged as Ben swallowed slowly.
"Uhh..." He said nervously as Josie looked at him nervously.
"Well," Nathan finally said. "Go ahead."
