Disclaimer: I do not own the Kane Chronicles
Me: This will be my first good fic. I promise. I'm sorry I didn't continue the Son of Neptune. I'll restart that one, I thought it was horrible.
Sadie: Your first good fic? I don't think that'll happen.
Me: Shut up, you fobbing, toad-spotted maggot pie.
Percy: Well, you don't have to all Edgar Allan Poe on me.
Me: You really are the inquisitive little pest. And first of all, that was Shakespeare. Second of all, um… I got nothing.
Sadie: And I thought you were smart.
Me: Excuse me? You've got me angry enough already. Sekhmet! Get over here!
Sadie: Oh, bloody hell…
Sekhmet: I shall feast on your blood!
Me: *points to Sadie* She said you were reckless and stupid.
Sekhmet: I shall feast on your blood!
Sadie: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! *runs away*
Me: On with the story!
Sekhmet: I shall feast on your blood!
It was a rather normal day at the Twenty-First Nome, with everybody doing their normal routine. Except for one.
"I'm bored," said thirteen year old Sadie Kane sitting in her room. "Why haven't they come yet? I've spent like, all thirty-seven hours in the day waiting for them to play Truth or Dare…"
Her brother, Carter, entered the room. "There are twenty-four hours in a day, not thirty-seven. Don't worry, Anubis and the others are bound to come here soon…"
"Jeez, I was just exaggerating for effect."
Just then, Doughboy came out from his hiding behind an alarm clock on Sadie's nightstand. He tripped and fell of the nightstand. He landed square on his butt.
"Owie! My bum! Why can't I ever get a taxi?" Doughboy said.
"Because you're a bloody short midget and just about nobody likes you, even taxi drivers," Sadie replied.
Carter lightly slugged Sadie in the arm.
"For your information, young master," Doughboy said with slight anger, "I am not that short-"
"Oh yes you are," retorted Sadie.
"-and I can get a taxi! I just don't want to!"
"I thought you wanted a taxi," Carter said.
"Is that the point?" Doughboy asked him.
"Yes."
"But to me it isn't."
"Yeah, but to us it is."
Sadie then asked Doughboy, "How did you get here?"
"I was bored," Doughboy replied.
"I wasn't asking why! I mean how!"
"Oh."
"Shabti are such idiots."
Sadie looked Carter, who looked like he wanted to cry. "Did you have to say that?"
"Say what?"
"Oh, y'know… Isn't it freakin' obvious?"
"Huh, Oh. Um… sorry."
"Yeah, whatever…"
Just then, Sadie, Carter, and Doughboy heard footsteps. Into the room came Walt and Jaz, who waved hello to Carter and Sadie. Right after them came Anubis, who smiled at Sadie and waved to Carter. Following Anubis were Julius and Ruby Kane, Carter and Sadie's father and mother. Julius and Ruby hugged their son and daughter. Some of the other Egyptian gods came in – Horus, Isis, Osiris, Set, Nephthys, Bast, Thoth, Sekhmet (strangely), Bes, even Ra. The Chief Lector, Amos Kane, made a grand entrance with his leopard-skin cape.
Then, as if it was planned, all of the guests shouted in unison, "WE'RE HERE!"
"I shall feast on your blood!" shouted Sekhmet.
After that, there was a long silence. Breaking the silence was Carter, groaning for some reason.
"I think my ears are bleeding," said Carter.
"Don't wor – AAAHH! You're right? Your ears are bleeding!" said Sadie.
"I'm always right."
"Fine, I'll heal you."
Sadie healed Carter.
"So, um… everybody? Who's ready to play Truth or Dare?"
The guests exploded into cheers. "WE ARE!"
"I shall feast on your blood first!" shouted Sekhmet.
"Okay… I need some earmuffs," muttered Carter.
"Calm down, everybody!" shouted Sadie.
"No, you calm down!" shouted Set.
"This ain't really helping my ears…" Carter groaned.
"Shut up, godling! You don't have the right to talk, and you don't exactly have the best style in clothing!"
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you. You look even worse than I do! Your horrible choice of clothes makes you look like a train wreck of the 70's and 80's! Be quiet, fool!"
Everybody, even Nephthys, agreed with Carter's statement.
"For the first time in his life, Carter's right!" exclaimed Sadie.
"You said I was right a few minutes ago," said Carter
"Is that the point?"
"Yes."
"But to me it isn't."
"Err, Sadie?"
"Yeah?"
"Doesn't that sound like that little argument we had with Doughboy?"
"Your point is?"
"Isn't it a bit stupid now that it has happened twice?"
"I know, so are you."
"Shut up."
"You know you are."
"Stop it you two!" shouted their mother, who heard the entire thing. "Stop arguing and let's play already!"
"Yes, do what your mother says, children, or I shall feast on your blood!" agreed Sekhmet.
"Yeah, Carter, listen to Mom," said Sadie."
"That calls for you too, Sadie Kane!" her mother shouted at her.
"Sorry."
"I shall feast on your blood!" Sekhmet suddenly interrupted.
"No one asked for your opinion, Sekhmet!" everybody shouted.
"Um…" said Carter in a small voice, "Can we, uh, move this game outside of Sadie's room? It's getting a bit crowded, and Sekhmet's breath is turning Sadie's Anubis doll to sand.
"OH NOES!" shouted Sadie, then she slapped Sekhmet and ran out of her room.
"How dare she... I shall feast on her blood!" shouted Sekhmet with rage.
"I'll get her," sighed Anubis.
"Let's get out of this stupid room already! We haven't even started the dumb game, and it's been, like an hour and a half already.
Everybody exited Sadie's room, and Doughboy got trampled by godly and magician feet, which, unfortunately for Doughboy, were all wearing a shoe or sandal, if it didn't already hurt enough with bare feet. Down the hallway, Carter and the rest of the magicians and gods found a blushing Anubis and a very stupid looking Sadie with an outrageously wide grin etched on her face.
"You don't want to know," said Anubis
"I'll say it anyway!" said a still extremely happy (and stupid looking) Sadie.
Anubis clamped a hand over Sadie's mouth.
"Guys, I'm not kidding. We've already wasted so much time that by the time we start, Apophis has taken over the world already!" shouted Carter.
"Okay," everybody said.
"So now that we've got that all settled, let's play Truth or Dare! Alright, who's going first? Set?"
"I thought you would see it my way," sneered Set, thinking of all the chaos he could cause from a simple truth or dare. "Hmm… Alright! Sadie Kane! I dare you to-"
"Wait, wait, wait!" interrupted Carter, waving his arms in front of him. "There should be rules, because you never know what a god of chaos could do," Everybody agreed. "First, no extreme dares," Carter looked at Set. "Second, truths should be as embarrassing as possible! Okay, that's all I've got.
"Aw, darn it…" said Set. "Oh well! Sadie Kane! Truth or Dare?"
"Hmm…" Sadie thought hard. If she chose truth, Set would probably ask how she felt about Anubis. Really embarrassing. If she chose dare, Set would try to make her do something dangerous, or something that would make her look like an idiot. Either way, she would die, so she said, "Truth."
Set smiled evilly. "What do you think about my son Anubis?"
Sadie had seen it coming. She felt her cheeks get red. Really red. "Um…"
"Oh, and by the way, Anubis, show her."
Sadie looked at Anubis, who held the Feather of Truth and gave it to Sadie.
"So," said Set with glee, "if you tell a lie, you will in fact burn to ashes!"
At this time, Sadie was sweating like crazy. Thinking nothing could get worse, she told the truth.
Me: What's that supposed to be called again, a cliffhanger?
Sadie: Duh.
Me: I'll send Sobek and Sekhmet after you if you don't stop.
Sadie: You have problems. Bad problems.
Me: Oh yeah? At least I'm not the thirteen year old girl who likes a five thousand year old guy with a jackal head.
Sadie: Where are you getting at?
Me: I don't know.
Sadie: See, you are dumb.
Me: Oh, well, maybe I could blast you to bits using that ha-di spell.
Sadie: Like you can.
Me: You want me to?
Sadie: No.
Sekhmet: Do it, or I shall feast on your blood!
Sadie: No. I don't want to get destroyed by a spell that can blow stuff up.
Me: Exactly. Send dare suggestions and and reviews and all of that other stuff! Don't flame me though. I'll update soon, I promise you that!
