Alex couldn't believe it. She always knew that if she lied or decided to avoid answering at all, she'd have to endure some kind of punishment, or really torture when Misa or Sabrina were involved. But what was to come was not what she could ever imagine.
"no!" she
refused, shaking her head as the loli-Goth blonde advanced on
her.
She scuttled back away until she had accidentally left the
circle, struggled to get to her feet, barely evading as Misa came at
her. The two blondes, the Goth and the tomboy, played cat and
mouse, Alex's goggles bouncing from around her neck, running around
the circle of friends, both mutual and not so mutual.
It was late
at night, around midnight, and there was a party going on at the home
of Sabrina Nightshade, queen of the nightlife and certified genius.
Among the guests, the only ones there and invited, were Light Yagami,
Kira even if he didn't admit to it; Misa Amane, the loli-Goth
model/singer who was in love with Light; Mihael Keehl, also known as
the chocoholic mafia leader Mello; Mail Jeevas, or Matt the video
game fanatic; Hanayuki and Nate Rivers, Near, who looked 10 but was
really 18; Ryuzaki, or Ryuuga, or L the worlds greatest detective and
boyfriend to the hostess; and of course Alexandra Cromwell, Alex
unless you have a death wish, the blonde gun toting video game and
chocolate loving girl. She didn't like Truth or Dare though.
"you
refused the question," Sabrina said, sitting in L's lap, the
detectives arms around her as she fed him bits of cake, "You
have to play penalty," she give him some cake then ate some
herself.
"just give in Alex," Light said, a bit annoyed
and very close to taking out his Death Note and killing everyone in
the room.
Alex jumped over a gap in the circle and landed promptly
in Matt's lap, who was playing his PSP. He looked at her as she
growled at Misa, arms around Matt's neck, "I'm not doing a
penalty, you crazy girl."
Misa pouted, black gloved hands on
her hips as silence fell over the group, the only sound being Mello
crunching on a chocolate bar and the sudden squeal from Sabrina as L
licked frosting off her cheek. Everyone, except Sabrina and L of
course and Hanayuki who was building a model of the Space Needle,
watched Misa and Alex in suspense, waiting until.....
Misa
suddenly smiled and Alex gelf even closer to Matt making him blush
from the closeness. The girl spoke, "well then how about we make
your penalty something you can enjoy."
"what do you
mean?" Alex asked.
"you and Matt are to be locked in
your room together until morning."
Shocked silence; Mello
dropped his chocolate bar, Sabrina and L looked identically shocked,
Hanayuki stopped building and both Near and Light looked slighly
stunned. It looked at if Matt had stolen all of the color in Alex's
face, he was that red and she was that pale.
"what?" he
muttered, his cigarette falling from out between his lips, luckily
being caught by Hanayuki to his right before it could set the carpet
on fire.
"y-y-you can't be serious," Alex said staring
at the grinning girl.
"oh very," Misa said, looking at
them sweetly, "you wanted to run to Matt to hide you, then why
don't you both hide, in your room?"
"bad, bad logic,"
Sabrina said, L shaking his head, a fork sticking out of his
mouth.
"horrible reasoning," Light said with a
sigh.
Misa went red, looking at Light as Near spoke, "I think
the penalty is fair, even if Misa Amane can't put together words
worth anything."
Hanayuki giggled to herself, "i
agree."
"Near! Yuki!" Alex, Matt and Mello all said
in unisom.
Both albino children looked at the three,
Hanayuki focused on Mello and Near on Matt and Alex. They spoke in
unison, "one night alone isn't going to kill any of you. 'Do you
like Matt or Mello more?' That was the avoided question, but you
should have just answered."
Alex pouted as she let go of
Matt's neck and got to her feet, her golden eyes glowing slightly, "I
refuse to answer that. Fine, I'll take the penalty," squeals of
glee from Misa before Alex tried to kick her and she hid behind
Light, "come on, Matt."
She held out a hand to her
sitting companion who just stared at uit for a moment before taking
it, getting up, still holding his PSP in one hand. She dragged him
away to her room only a little whiles away from the group. She then
closed the door and behind her came a click as the door was locked
from the outside.
