Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show!
By Toadstool89

Chapter 1: Introductions

Toad Town Studios, Toadstool's Awesome Office, 7:06 AM

"Yo, Darrel! We good to go?" asked a Yoshi named *Purple Yoshi.

"Yeah, all set here," replied *Darrel the camera guy. "I double checked the controls, and my camera isn't broken."

Purple checked the clipboard he had in his hands (or paws, rather). "All the guests are here?"

"Yep. I checked, and they're backstage," said Darrel.

"Okay, so we're all set! No, wait, we're missing something..." Purple paused to think.

Darrel figured it out first. "Where the heck is Toadstool?" he asked out loud. "She should've been here by now!"

Just then, Purple and Darrel heard footsteps. It was Toadstool, late as usual. Purple glared at his friend. Darrel was to busy fiddling with his camera to care.

Purple walked in front of Toadstool. "Toadstool Eighty Nine! Where have you been?" he demanded. "I told you to be here promptly at 7 a.m.!"

Toadstool glared back at Purple. "Since when did you become my mama?" she huffed.

"Well, I'm just saying," Purple pointed out, "that you shouldn't be late for your own show."

Toadstool cooled down. "Sorry," she said, "I'm just not a morning person." She looked around the room. "I checked the main stage before I came. Looks like the place is all decorated. Ours' and the guests' chairs are set up. Oh, speaking of..."

"They're backstage," said Darrel.

"Sweet!" exclaimed Toadstool. "Let's do this thing!"

Toad Town Studios, Main Stage, 7:25 AM

"Five minutes till showtime!" Darrel yelled.

Darrel and Toadstool were standing on the main stage. Everything was ready, the lighting was perfect, and everyone (including the guests) had just finished putting on their makeup. Things were looking real good, Darrel remarked, and the show hadn't even started. He glanced over at Toadstool, who was smiling like crazy.

"OMG, Darrel!" exclaimed the happy hostess. "I can't believe this is really happening!" She paused. "Oh, wait, yeah I can, because I had this idea in the first place!"

"We helped," said Derrel.

"Of course! You and Purple are awesome!" said Toadstool excitedly. "How much time before we start?"

"Two minutes," Darrel replied.

"Man!" Toadstool complained. "Why do we have to wait so dang long? Where's Purple?"

"He's backstage, finalizing the details with the guests." Darrel grinned.

At that moment, Purple came from backstage. He grinned. "They have no idea this is a truth-or-dare type show!" he said. "This is gonna be so fun!"

"You got the bleeper ready, right, P?" Darrel asked.

"Yeah, remember you're the show's bleeper guy," added Toadstool. "I don't think anyone's gonna cuss or anything, but just in case…"

"I know. I'm prepared," said Purple.

Darrel looked at his watch. "One minute till showtime!" he announced.

"Omigosh, then why're we standing here?" Toadstool exclaimed. "To the stage!" she commanded.

The trio got on the stage and into their proper places: Toadstool in the hosts' chair, Purple Yoshi sitting near a big red button named the 'Bleeper' and Darrel behind his camera.

"You guys ready?" Toadstool asked Darrel and Purple.

"All set!" declared Purple.

"Dude, I've been ready," said Darrel.

"Okay, then! I'm ready, too!" Toadstool hesitated. "How much time now, D?"

"Ten seconds," said Darrel.

"Nine!" Purple counted.

"Eight!" Toadstool continued.

"Seven!" Darrel maintained the pattern.

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!" the trio finished in unison.

Darrel pushed a button on his camera, and it turned on. The "On Air" sign on the ceiling above Toadstool's head flashed green. They were live.

Toadstool didn't hesitate. "Hello, everybody! Welcome to the world premiere of Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show!" Fake applause rippled through the main stage area. "My name is Toadstool Eighty Nine," she continued, "but you can call me just Toadstool. Over to my right, you'll see a guy over the Bleeper. That guy is my right hand man and my long time best friend. Please give a warm welcome to…Purple Yoshi!"

Purple waved at the camera. "Hi, mom!" he exclaimed just for the hell of it.

Toadstool smiled. "And now, say hello to my left hand man behind the camera…Darrel!"

More fake applause resounded through the room. Darrel turned the camera so the world could see his face. "I'm the camera guy!" he said. He turned it back toward Toadstool, who just shrugged in a 'whatever' motion.

"Okay, now that that's over, it's time to introduce the guests that will play truth or dare. They all come from different worlds and different aspects of life." Toadstool paused for 5 seconds before continuing. "From the Mushroom Kingdom, where we're broadcasting from live, we have…" She got out a list. "Princess Peach, *Steve McToad, *Mariana McToad, *Mariana Jacquelyn, Bowser, Toadsworth, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Toadette, Rosalina, *Annabella, Princess Daisy, Wario, and Waluigi!"

The guests that were just announced walked onto the stage. Purple pressed the applause button.

Toadstool took a breath before continuing. "From the planet Mobius, we have…Sonic the Hedgehog, *Sammie the Hedgehog, Omochao, Amy Rose, Miles "Tails" Prower, Silver the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat, Rouge the Bat, Knuckles the Echidna, Espio the Chameleon, Cream the Rabbit, and Cheese the Chao!"

The Mobians walked onto the stage as the fake applause died down.

"Next, from the wonderful world of kung-fu, all the way from China, we have…Tigress and Viper!"

Tigress and Viper took their seats (which were decorated with random Chinese kung-fu symbols).

"Now, from deep in the forest, from a little place called ThunderClan, we have…Firestar, Leafpool, and Squirrelflight!"

The warrior cats took their seats (which were chairs made of moss).

"And last but not least, from the Magic Dimension, we have…Bloom the human/fairy!"

The Fairy of the Dragon Flame took the last seat.

"Hello, everybody!" said Toadstool to the new arrivals. "How y'all doin'?"

There were mixed replies of "Good," and "Okay," and "I'm doing good. How are you?"

"Good to hear it," said Toadstool once everyone quieted down. "Now, there are a lot of you here, and I don't really feel like spending much time talking about your personal lives, so here's what we'll do. I'll let you guys tell the world a sentence about yourself. That way it'll be quick and we can move on to the fun part."

"One sentence?" asked Sonic.

"That's all we get? One stupid sentence?" Bowser complained.

"Yes, yes, and yes," Toadstool answered.

"Aww…" everyone moaned.

Toadstool ignored the complaining. "Anyway, we'll go in the order I have y'all on my roster. It's not the same as the way I introduced you, though, it'll be a little different."

"Fine with us," Peach decided.

"Alright," said Espio.

"We will comply," said Tigress.

"ThunderClan will participate," said Firestar.

"I will, too," said Bloom.

"Okay then, here we go. I'll point at you so this'll go quickly. Starting with…" She checked her list. "…Sonic."

"Yes!" Sonic pumped his fist in the air.

"Okay, next!" said Toadstool.

Sonic frowned. "Aw, what?! That wasn't even a sentence!"

"Relax, dude, I was just kidding!" Toadstool laughed.

"Oh." Sonic paused to think. "I've been to lots of places rescuing people," he said.

Toadstool pointed to Omochao. "Oh! Um…I'm a robotic version of a Chao and I give people good advice," he said.

Toadstool pointed to Peach. "Well…I'm the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and I get kidnapped a lot," she said. She gave Bowser the death glare (of death) as she finished her sentence.

Steve was next. "I'm a carpentoad, and I design buildings."

"I'm an assassin," said his wife, Mariana.

Everyone stared at Mariana. Mariana shrugged in a 'stare-all-you-want-I'm-secure' motion.

"Bad choice, Steve," Toadstool mumbled.

"Um…I like pie," said Mariana Jacquelyn.

"I'm the king of the Koopas," said Bowser.

"I like Sonic!" exclaimed Amy. Sonic cringed.

"My, how I do love words," said Toadsworth.

"I like star collecting, and rescuing people," said Mario.

"I enjoy a nice stroll around Toad Town," said Luigi.

"I like cake!" said Toad.

"I'm a big fan of music!" squealed Toadette.

"I like to read in the Observatory library," said Rosalina.

"I like soccer," said Daisy.

"I love engineering," said Tails.

"I enjoy learning new kung-fu styles," said Tigress.

"Me too, and I like ribbon dancing," said Viper.

"I enjoy hunting," said Firestar.

"I adore healing sick cats," said Leafpool.

"I love Brambleclaw," said Squirrelflight.

"I appreciate money and onions," said Wario.

"I like…the ladies," said Waluigi. All the girls in the room cringed.

"I enjoy time traveling," said Silver.

"I don't like much of anything," said Shadow.

"I look after the Sol Emeralds," said Blaze.

"I'm a jewel thief," said Rouge.

"I protect the Master Emerald," said Knuckles.

"I go to Alfea College for Fairies," said Bloom.

"I'm a ninja," said Espio.

"I like going to the mall," said Cream.

"Chao, chao…chao!" said Cheese. (Translation: "I like...peanut butter!")

"I like using my lightning powers!" said Annabella.

"I like corn dogs," said Sammie.

Toadstool nodded. "Very interesting, everything all y'all said." She looked at Purple and Darrel. "Our turn," she said. "Okay, I like spaghetti," she said.

"I like my camera," said Darrel.

"I'd like to use the Bleeper," said Purple.

"You will soon enough, rest assured," Toadstool said. "Now that the boring part's over, we get to the fun stuff!"

"Yeah, about that…" Tigress said.

"Why exactly are we here?" Annabella finished.

"To participate as contestants on this show, of course!" Toadstool smiled. "I mean, why else would I call it Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show? To just play truth or dare? Heck no! It's a lot more than that."

"I don't like where this is going…" said Bloom.

"You probably never will," said Toadstool. "Okay, here's how the game works. I ask people to send in questions and truths and dares and stuff, and you guys have to do them."

"I'm outta here," said Shadow. Everyone else started to leave, too.

"Wait! There's more!" cried Toadstool. "There's a reward for the person who survives Truth or Dare!"

"Reward?" said Rouge.

"What kind of reward?" asked Amy.

"Whoever survives the last Elimination Ceremony will be declared the winner and receive one million dollars! Okay, well, the currency depends on the winner. The viewers will decide who gets booted off the show."

"Oh, like in American Idol?" asked Bloom.

"Kind of, but not really," Toadstool clarified.

"The currency depends on the winner?" Cream parroted.

"Oh yeah, time for some explanations," said Toadstool. "Okay. Let's say, for example, Luigi wins. The one million dollars would be given to him in Coins, the currency used in the Mushroom Kingdom. Is that right, Peach? Coins are the MK's currency?"

"Yep, you're right," Peach confirmed.

"Or say, if Blaze won," Toadstool continued, "she would receive the million in Rings, the Mobian currency. Or if one of the ThunderClan cats wins, they would receive a million pieces of fresh-kill kept in a cooler so it wouldn't go bad. If Tigress or Viper wins, they would receive the million in yen, the Chinese currency...I think." (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

"But what about me?" asked Bloom.

"Simple. The million would be given to you in U.S. dollars that you can use on Earth and in the Magic Dimension."

"Cool!" said Bloom.

"When's the competition start?" asked Knuckles.

"Next episode, when we get some dares," said Toadstool.

All the guests (they'll be called "competitors" from now on) looked intensely at each other. They all wanted the million, and they all were willing to do almost anything for it...even if that meant humiliating themselves on live TV.

"Well, there you have it, folks...the first episode of Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show! Until next time, I'm Toadstool Eighty Nine," said Toadstool. "Bye!"

Well, you heard me...send in some awesome truths and dares so I can start the competition! Help your favorite character win the million!

* = I own this character. For more information, please see my profile page. (I don't got them all there yet, but I will eventually.)

Oh yeah, if you're reading this and want to send a truth and/or dare, please do so by PM. You can also send one by review, but reviews are for reviewing.

I will accept most truths/dares, unless I feel it's too...rated T.

Oh, I'll also accept questions for a Q/A session I'll do in the middle of an episode (if I feel like Q/A).

One more thing: Have any questions about my show? PM me any question you have and I'll gladly answer it.

Well, that's about it. Peace out! I own nothing unless noted.
