So I decided to write this little thing while trying to think of something to write for my other story. Hee hee! Plus I just had to jump on the Truth or Dare bandwagon. Anyways, this was way fun to write considering I love writing dialogue and basically this whole thing is dialogue! So yeah… please let me know what you think!
P.S. I don't own these characters.
Truth or Dare
Sir. Gilly McWillikins
Akari plopped down onto the grassy hillside, motioning for the others to join her. Gill's face turned sour at the thought of soiling his nice clothes but sat down across from her anyway. Juli sat down gracefully next to Akari, and Luke quickly sat on her other side. Candace gingerly sat down by Gill, on the side that placed her farther away from Juli, and Luna seated herself next to her sister, telling Luke curtly to scoot over. Chase took the only spot left, which was the gap between Gill and Juli.
Now they were ready to begin.
"I'll start," Akari declared with a grin, "Gilly."
He glanced up.
"Truth or dare?"
You may wonder, dear reader, how this silly child's game became a daily tradition among these select single people.
The answer is simple: there is nothing better to do in Waffle Town.
The Beginning
Akari walked into Town Hall exhausted after working on the farm all day. She waved to the sweet girl Elli who had the unfortunate business of spending all day with that dark rain cloud of a boy, Gill. Elli politely asked how Akari's day was and Akari politely lied to her saying that it was great. The girl then twirled over to Gill's desk where he was reading, pulled herself on top of the desk, causing papers to fly about haphazardly, and sat down Indian style right in the middle. He didn't look up from his book, either oblivious, or ignoring her.
"Gilly…." she whispered, bending toward him slightly.
No response.
"Gilly…." she tried again.
Still no response.
"Gilly-willy…" she said.
His lips twitched.
"Sir. Gilly McWillikins…"
She had won, he looked up at her.
"What now?" he said in an irritated voice.
"Gilly…. I'm bored…."
"Go find someone to talk to who is as useless as you," he glibly replied.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
His eyes narrowed. "Go away." he said, looking back at his book.
"But Gilly-kins I'm so bored! I'll die of boredom! Boredom times ten! No, times infinity!"
"I don't care."
"But if I die of boredom, then Gilly-kins wont have anyone to play with…."
Across the room Elli's eyebrows raised.
"…play board games with…" Akari added.
Sir. Gilly McWillikins rolled his eyes. "I've played so much Monopoly I think I would puke 'get out of jail free' cards all over the place just looking at it. And, no! I'm not playing Twister ever again! My back still is sore!"
"Oh, don't worry Gilly-kins! I have the best-est-est idea ever!"
"I sincerely doubt that…" he mumbled.
"Oh, it will be fun Gilly!" she exclaimed, grabbing both his ears. "Come on, come on, lets go play!"
Akari leaped off the table (causing more papers to fly) and strung her arm through his before he had a chance to answer.
"No!" he shouted as she pulled him out of the building, down the street, and to what she referred to as the 'Special Spot.'
Said 'Special Spot' was the shade under an ordinary tree, where the grass was cool and soft, and nobody ever came by to bother them. It actually had been Gill's special spot way before he ever met Akari, and to him it had been an ordinary tree where nobody ever came to bother him until he found Akari in that tree and she did bother him.
Akari plopped down onto the grass and motioned for him to sit next to her. He shrugged and did so.
"Ok, Gilly-"
"Don't call me that… ever."
"But, Gilly-"
"EVER!"
"Ok, fine, Sir. Gilly McWillikins-"
"That's even worse! And it still has Gilly in it!"
"But I like McWillikins-"
"Apparently so does my dad! That's all he calls me now!"
"What should I call you then!?" she exclaimed.
"Gill."
"Gill?" she tasted the name as if it were foreign to her, "I don't like it."
"But that's my name. How would you feel if I called you Kar-Kar all the time!?"
She thought for a minute. "I'd love it!"
He sighed. "Whatever…"
"So, you ready to play Gilly?"
He winced. "Sure, Akari."
"No, call me by my nickname!"
"I mean, sure Kar-Kar."
She smiled. "Gilly, truth or dare?"
"What!? That's the game you thought up!?"
"Sure, what's wrong with it?" she asked slightly offended.
"I haven't played Truth or Dare in…. forever!"
"That's why it's a good idea, Gilly. Plus this is Extreme Truth or Dare."
"What makes it extreme?"
"Oh, you'll see."
He sighed again.
"So!? Truth or dare!?"
"Uhhh…" he tipped his head to the side, "Truth."
"Do you have a secret crush!?"
"Well, you jump right to the daggers don't you?"
"Oh, come on, that's always the first truth question," she insisted.
"Uh…don't have one."
"Liar!"
"I don't have one!"
"I can tell when you are lying, and right now you are lying!"
"Don't I have a rooster or something…?"
"Oh, you mean a chicken? Yes I'll let you have two."
"I'll use a chicken then." Gill said.
"Why?"
"Because I don't have a secret crush and you won't let my answer be that I don't have a secret crush!"
"That's because I don't believe you!"
He sighed, then said robotically, "You are right, I have a secret crush, but I'm so embarrassed that I simply can't bear to say it."
"I knew it!" she said, punching the air with her fist.
I lied…I thought you knew when I was lying. He thought with a small smile.
"So Gilly, now its your turn!"
"Okay, truth or dare."
"Ahhhh…. Truth!"
He thought for a moment then said, "Do you have a secret crush?"
"YES!"
That threw him a little off guard. He sat there blinking at her, confused at her boldness, then asked, "Who is it?"
"I cant tell you."
"Why?"
"Because there is only one question per truth."
"Oh…"
"So, my turn! Truth or Dare, Gilly!?"
"Ummm…. Dare I guess…"
"I dare you to run around town declaring that you are a happy rainbow unicorn."
"No." he spat.
"Why not." she asked innocently.
"Because that's stupid."
"No its not. But it would make you look stupid."
He glared at her. "I won't do it."
"You using a chicken then?"
"Yes."
"Okay, if your fine with being considered a chicken that is…"
"I can deal with that." he stated.
"Alright…if your sure…" she cooed tauntingly.
"I am!"
"Okay! Sheesh… Ask me one!"
"Oh brother….Truth or dare?"
"Truth!"
"Ummm….uhhh…. What's your favorite food?"
"That's a lame question."
"I can't help it, I couldn't think of anything better."
"Whatever, my favorite food is Oranges."
"Oranges? Just Oranges!?"
"Yeah!"
"Anything with Oranges? Or just plain Oranges?"
"I can't answer that."
"What, are you kidding me!?"
"No, only one question per tru-"
"I know!" he spat with frustration. Then he stood up and said, "I'm done playing."
"No, wait Gilly! One more time, its my turn to ask you truth or dare!"
He was walking away with a determined hunch to his back.
"No, Gilly, no! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!"
He looked back at her over his shoulder and saw her sitting there like a sad puppy. Big brown eyes sparkling dramatically in the sunlight.
"Ok, fine," he said in a huff as he sat down next to her again.
"Yay! Truth or dare!?"
"Truth…"
"Does your dad make little dolls of all the people who live in Waffle Town using the person's ACTUAL hair!?"
How does she know that!? he thought, nearly rolling down the hill in shock.
He closed his eyes and furrowed his brow. "Uh….Chicken…?"
"Ah ha! You can't do that! You have used up all your Chickens!"
"No! The first one doesn't count because you wouldn't let me answer no!"
"It counts, it counts!"
He folded his arms and frowned."You were planning this weren't you!?"
"That's why this is called Extreme Truth or Dare!"
He stared at her in shock, unable to believe that she had outsmarted him. "How long have you known…?" he asked with an embarrassed flush on his cheeks.
"Well, Its actually a pretty funny story…One day I had-"
"Summarize it."
"Fine." She said with a little frown. "I saw that a chunk of my hair was missing one morning, and all that day I noticed how everyone else also had a chunk of hair that wasn't the same length as the rest of their hair. I knew it wasn't coincidence so I looked for a person who didn't have a missing chunk of hair. That person was your dad."
"But how did you know about the dolls?"
"I snuck into your house and ransacked the place," she said matter-of-factly with a slight shrug.
He stared at her, fear creeping into his voice. "M-My room too…?"
"I checked everywhere!"
His cheeks turned pink as he prayed she hadn't found and/or read his diary. "W-What did you find?"
"Well, I was looking for hair. You see, I thought your dad was collecting hair because he wanted to clone us or something…"
"Cloning!?
She nodded her head sheepishly. "Yeah, but then I found a doll. I suppose it was supposed to be me because it had a similar outfit to the ones I wear." She indicated her shorts and green T-shirt.
"Oh…." he said cocking his head. "But why didn't you just ask me about it."
"Well I knew you wouldn't just tell me, and I was bored. Plus, Extreme Truth or Dare is fun, huh!?"
He was surprised to realize that he had had fun, though he more often than not did have fun with Akari no matter what they did .He smiled slightly at her. "Yeah, it wasn't too bad…"
"Oh I know what that means! That means in Gillish that you had a really good time."
"What is Gillish?"
"Your language."
"What?"
"I speak fluent Gillish."
I hope you enjoyed it!
I love Sir. Gilly McWillikins!
So the plan is to add a new character every time they go play Truth or Dare until you have the scene that is at the beginning of the chapter Next time the new character will be….a surprise….
