Cut to Kelly: "And that is the most I've ever puked," she says triumphantly. Ron's totally impressed. "That's a ton of puke. I didn't even know the stomach held that much," he says. Rachel shudders. My mind here wandered back to some puke stories from my past, and unfortunately, it stumbled on rather a lot of them. The best one? Suffice to say my right eye was blood red for two weeks.
It's clearly getting late, and the game's in its low-energy stage. Rachel turns to Perry -- who picks Truth -- and asks him to confess the strangest place he's ever had sex. I can't believe it took them so long to get to this stuff; more likely, they'd have gotten sexual right away. Perry frowns and stares at the floor. "Uh, is 'nowhere' considered a strange place?" Perry asks. Ron, the dolt, doesn't get it. None of them do. So Perry has to come out and admit that he's never had sex. Everyone falters, startled. Which is so stupid, because Ron's a virgin, Steven barely lost his virginity, and no one's seen Shaggy get a girl this year. They're all getting laid vicariously through Heath, I suppose, and Heath now probably mentally resolves to bag another girl in Perry's honor. Steven tells Perry it's totally cool that he's a virgin. So don't have sex, kids! Penetration is for losers. "You've had sex?" Perry asks, stunned. "How did you do that?" Lizzie gazes guiltily at Steven while he tries to avoid answering the question. Rachel shoots him a compassionate smile.
"Truth or Dare," Perry says to Steven. "Dare," he chooses. "I dare you to tell us about your most memorable sexual experience," Perry prods him. Everyone likes this dare, which is, again, pretty mean, because everyone should know Steven's only had one, and that he's sitting right next to The One, and he's still in love with her, and...oh, Steven, it's okay, come here, I'll hold you. Steven handles it deftly. "It was unexpected, so that made it good, and uh, she was just really special to me," he says softly. "She helped me out with a bad emotional situation. It was great." Lizzie and Rachel exchange touched glances. Kelly, as if she'd studied for this, tells Lizzie to answer the question as well. She darts a look at Steven, who blushes expectantly and tries to hide behind his hand. "Well, there was this one time..." she begins, as Rachel rolls her eyes in anticipation of the mush, "...when Eric and I were on a ski lift, and I gave him a you-know-what!" Lizzie squeals. Steven is surprised. Everyone else loves this answer and teases her about her oddly modest vocabulary. It's weird that she'd be so sexually game, yet reticent about using the words "blow" and "job" side by side. Steven, unable to handle this, leaps up and invents a thinner-than-he-is excuse about the library so that he can flee the room. Lizzie deflates, then follows him.
