The trio woken up on the floor in a hotel room. Before they even stood up, the TV screen turned on and the lady appeared.
"Congratulations! This is the last challenge of the first phase. After that challenges will become increasingly harder to survive. Today's what if scenario is: What if you could only speak truth. This challenge is very easy, just survive one day. You can use this time to get to know each other better. The mini fridge is fully stocked, so you won't have to worry about food or drink. There is also a bathroom, with sound proof walls. Have fun!"
"So, should we play truth or dare?" Agnes asked and looked at Oliver and Roman.
"Hehe. Sure thing. I am all for it. I really wanna know some things about both of you," said Roman and Oliver nodded in agreement.
Agnes picked up a bottle from the mini fridge and spinned it. The bottle landed pointing from Roman to Agnes. "Dare," Agnes said before he could even ask her.
"Dang it! I really wanted you to pick truth. Alright let me think for a second. Oh! I know! Do me a reading. I really wanna get a reading of my future partner. Heh. I said that out loud, didn't I?" Roman blushed from embarrassment.
Agnes smiled, "Alright. Let me just take my tartot cards."
She shuffled the cards and picked a few of them, "One more question, before I start with the reading. What is your sexuality? We never really told each other and I am really curious."
"Bisexual," Roman replied.
"Alright. Let's see the cards now. Hmm. This card is really giving me a feminine vibe. So it's probably a girl. She is very... Hmm. This card is giving me a masculine vibe. I can't remember ever getting two opposites. I think it's either a masculine girl or like a feminine boy. Okay. Their hair is light, but also dark? Short, but also long? Well it's brown, but also pink? Maybe it's like ombre? And meybe it's one side long, one side short? This reading is really contradicting. Alright. Let's see when will you meet them," she picked out another card, and continued, "It's somewhere where you learn things, probably a school. And I am getting this feeling as if you already meet them."
Roman just listened to her as she explained everything. When she finished Oliver said, "Okay, I think this is talking about you Agnes. I mean, seriously. We were on the same school and you were the only one with pink hair."
Roman correct him, "Only same high-school. Meybe someone from middle school colored their hair. And also Agnes's hair are just, long and dark pink. She said my next partner will have short and long, light and dark, and, pink and brown."
Agnes nodded, "That's right, anyways let's continue."
She picked up the bottle and spinned it again. Now it landed pointing from Oliver to Roman.
"I pick dare," Oliver said, as he was a bit afraid of what would Roman pick for him.
Roman had that evil smile on the face, "I knew you would pick that. Hehe. You have to stand on one leg and each time you wanna switch legs, you have to first do 5 push-ups. But if you lose blance, you have to do 10 push-ups and back on one leg."
Oliver stood up on one leg, "Sometimes I wonder, why are we even friends. You obviously like to see me suffer. Like when when we couldn't speak and then you made me go in to that cold ass water."
Agnes looked at Roman, "Oh, so that's what happened! I thought he fell in, since he would obviously never go in himself."
Roman giggled: "Well, you didn't look like you really minded at all."

Oliver looked away, "That is beacuse I didn't. I can't really mind anything your cute ass face says."
Roman blushed, as he wasn't expecting that.
"Forget I ever said that," Oliver said and spinned the bottle. Now it landed pointing from Agnes to Oliver.
Agnes asked, "Truth or dare?"
Oliver replied, "Dare, beacuse I wanna do anything you tell me. Fuck. I should really stop talking. I don't like accidentally saying things."
Roman giggled.
Agnes thought about it a little and then replied, "Okay. I dare you to next time pick truth."
"As if I haven't already said enough. I really hoped you would say something more spi-" Oliver covered his own mouth before he could finish the sentence. He then took the bottle and sinned it. Now it landed pointing from Oliver to Roman.
"Time to get some revenge," loughed Oliver.
"I pick dare," said Oliver.
"Dare, huh? I will make you regret this. I saw that the mini fridge also has some alcohol drinks," Oliver said.
Roman stopped him, "Yes, but I am 18, not 21. The legal drinking age in America is 21."
Oliver looked at him, as if he said the stupidest thing, "First of all, there is no saying we even are in America, take Europe for example. You have to be 18 to drink. Also who care if it's illegal. We are the trio that stole the antique, remember?" Then he paused for a second. "Or are you scared? Well if that's the case, I dare you to drink half of this bottle of vodka."
Roman took the half liter bottle and slowly drinked half of it. He then spinned the bottle and it landed pointing from Oliver to Agnes.
"Since nobody picked truth up until now, I pick truth. Also I will say the truth even if I pick dare, so it doesn't really change much," said Agnes.
"Truth, huh? Okay. What is your sexuality?"
"Pansexual. I honestly couldn't care less about someone's gender. As long as you are human looking I can fall in love with you. And I say human looking beacuse well, fiction exists."
Oliver smirked, "Fair enough. I am also queer. And I agree with you on the fictional characters. Like dang. There was once this vampire and well you can just guess who had his room filled with posters of him for a whole year."
Agnes then spinned the bottle. It landed pointing from Roman to Agnes, but Roman was sleeping.
"I could never guess he has such a small alcohol tolerance," Oliver said as he looked at him.
"Let's not play this until he wakes up. It would be really boring with just two people. Also let's move him to the bed, I don't want him to catch a cold, sleeping on the floor. Will you help me?" Agnes asked and then both of them picked him up and layed him down on the king-sized bed.
"He looks so cute when he sleeps," Agnes mentioned, as she was looking at Roman.
Oliver replied, "Yup, and I don't wanna wake him up. The bathroom is sound proof right? We can talk there."
Then both of them moved to the bathroom.
"You know what I was thinking about?" asked Agnes.
"No, what?" Oliver replied.
"The way this what if scenarios are made. I was just thinking how messed up they are. And who can be behind them? I mean at first I thought it was some old rich dude. But the last scenario involved the whole world. I mean sure they could just make it seem like that." Agnes told.
Oliver looked at her, and then said, "You have a point. I was driving for about 10 minutes from my house to yours and I saw so many people wearing my merch. You might not have noticed it, but that design. I actually made it for real. And I never ever posted it anywhere. I actually made it on my phone, but I deleted it before anyone could see it."
Agnes's eyes teared up, "What if we are actually dead? And now the god is just deciding on where to send us."
"No. There is no way. Okay. I have an idea. Try do a reading on our situation," Oliver said.
Agnes took her cards and shuffled them. Then she picked out one after another, "This cards tell me that nobody will die. This cards tell that we are thinking in the wrong direction, and that we will realize how wrong we were. And this cards tell me that what is about to come is not good. You were right. I don't think we are dead anymore. But what ever is that has this power, we won't like it."
Oliver gave Agnes a smile, "Now. Can you also do me a reading?"
Agnes started shuffling her cards again, "Alright. Let's see. Ups, a card fell out. This one looks a lot like me. I guess I never told you why I picked out this deck. It's beacuse I saw this picture of a girl with long dark pink hair and thought she looks so much like me, so it must be fate."
Oliver took the card and looked at it. The resemblance was definitely there. Green eyes and dark pink long hair.
"Okay. Since this card really wants to be in your reading. I think it means that I will be a big part of your future. But that is obvious, since we are stuck here together. Okay, next one. Alright. This one tells me that you will be given a two different choices and that you will have to be careful what you pick. This next one relates to the previous one. It's telling you to think outside the box. And this one is telling me about some really strong masculine energy. I think you will get a boyfriend or maybe a new boy friend. And well just follow your heart."
Oliver though about the reading for a few seconds and then said, "Alright. So just think outside the box and follow my heart."
Agnes nodded.
Roman woke up and noticed that nobody is in the room, "Agnes? Oliver?" He looked around and then opened the bathroom door. He saw Oliver and Agnes sitting on the floor. "Roman! You woke up, great.How are you feeling?" Agnes asked.
"My head hurts. But otherwise I think I'm fine," he replied.
Agnes and Oliver stood up. Oliver said, "Let's go back to the bed room. The bed looks way more comfortable than the bathroom floor."
Roman nodded and walked to the bed and sat down, Oliver and Agnes followed him and also sat down each on one part of the bed.
"Hey guys, you know what? There is only one bed." Agnes mentioned.
"True. Meybe we could put pillows and a duvet on the floor. We could also use bath towels" said Oliver.
And so they started preparing for sleep although none of them was tired. After some time they were done.
"What should we do now?" asked Roman.
"We could just talk," suggested Agnes and so they did. They talked for hours, took some snacks from the mini fridge and eat those. They also drinked non-alcoholic drinks. After some time they got sleepy and decided to go to sleep. When they woken up, they decided to take turns showering. The water was warm and soap smelled fresh and sweet. When they were all done they talked a bit more, then played some games and talked even more.
Before they even realized the 24 hours passed and when they were in the middle of a conversation about why school sucks they fell asleep.
