"Truth or Dare?"

"Um... I'm going to say Truth."

Tosh chewed on her lip as she tried to think of a truth for Owen. He was sitting on his chair, currently swinging from side to side, waiting for her to come up with a question.

"Come on, Tosh, it's not hard!"

"Ok, ok! You can only save one of us. Which one?"

Owens face fell.

"Ah. So whatever I say, I'm going to get murdered?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

Jack was sitting cross-legged on the floor, his arms behind him as he stretched out a little. He had a small smirk on his face.

"Crap. Ok, let's go through the options. Ianto, I'll start with you."

Ianto raised an eyebrow, and knew he was dead.

"You're a nice guy and all, and I will miss your coffee dearly, but I might just be able to live without you."

Ianto snorted. "I don't know how you would get along without me, Owen. If it wasn't for me forever clearing out all your alien muck, this place would be a mess!"

"Very true. Anyhow, back to my list. Jack, under any normal circumstances, I'd save you, but I know you would kill me for killing Ianto."

The team laughed and Ianto went slightly pink.

"Ok, two down, one to go. Ooh, this is a toughy. At this point I would check for injuries and decide who would have a better chance of surviving — but, because I cant do that here, it would have to be Tosh."

Tosh's mouth fell open slightly. She wouldn't have guessed he'd pick her.

"Ok, my turn!" Owen leant forward and span the beer bottle that Jack had just been drinking. It landed on Ianto.

"Aha! Truth or Dare?"

"Oh, God. Let's try Truth."

"Well, this will be a walk in the park. If you could shag Jack right now, would you?"

Ianto now went a slightly reddish colour. Jack was staring at him, a good-natured smile on his face, but his eyes told a different story. Sod it, Ianto thought.

"Yes, I would," he shrugged. Jack grinned at him, Tosh and Gwen giggled and Owen wolf whistled. Ianto smiled bashfully, then reached over for the beer bottle. It landed on Gwen.

"Ok, Gwen, Truth or Dare?"

"Oh, I'll go for Dare," she grinned wickedly. Ianto scratched his head, thinking of a suitable dare. He cast his mind back to the mouldy slice of pizza Own had left in the fridge from a week before.

"Right, go into the fridge. There should be a green piece of sludge that resembles a pizza. Take it out. Bring it back here. Eat it."

Gwen jumped off Owen's desk and went to raid the fridge. She came back a few moments later, holding the pizza slice at arms length, her thumb and forefinger just gripping the corner.

"This thing is disgusting! And you want me to eat it?!"

"Yep."

"I hate you, Ianto Jones!"

"I love you too, Gwen Cooper," he stuck his tongue out at her. She repaid the favour before slowly brought the thing to her mouth. Very tentatively, she opened her mouth and took a small bite. Everyone laughed at she pulled a grotesque face, but in actually fact, it wasn't that bad.

"Yewch. Ok, my turn."

The bottle slid to a halt before Tosh.

"Hey, I've already had a go!"

"Luck of the draw, Tosh."

"Piss off, Owen. Ok, I'll take Truth."

"Hmm. Ok, if it was between shagging a Weevil or killing Owen, what would you pick."

"Can you even shag a Weevil?!"

"Not sure. Ask Jack, he's bound to know."

"Shut up, Owen."

Everyone giggled.

"Ok, I'll have to shag a Weevil. Owen has just saved me, remember."

"That's true, I have," Owen gave a smug smile, "Ok Jack, you are the only one who hasn't done one yet."

"What, done a Weevil?"

"No, you prune. Done a Truth or Dare!"

"Oh sorry. Well I'll pick Dare!"

"Snog Ianto."

"I'm sorry -?" Ianto barely had time to finish his sentence before Jack had lunged on him, to the screams and wolf whistles of the rest of the team...
