Games In The Mess Hall

Part One: Truth Or Dare

A/N: I do not own anything that has to do with the Matrix. Just Soni.

Chapter One Truth or Dare

Everyone sat in the mess hall waiting for Soni to arrive. They had received messages the night before to meet her there as soon as it was dark. Ten minutes later she quietly opened the door. "Well it's about time! Why are we here?" asked Cypher leaning against the wall. "All in good time friends, now where is Morpheus?" "He's taking the first watch." Said Tank. "Well, that's okay I guess. We can just go on without him." "Go on with what?" "Chill Apoc, I'm about to tell everyone." She sat down at the empty chair and helped herself to some Goop. "Eww, so as you all know, there really hasn't been much to do for a while. So what I've done to make this a more pleasurable experience is come up with something we can do." "And that would be?" Jeez Apoc, have patience or I will shun you for a week." "Not again." "Then hush and let me finish!" "Yes ma'am." "For the next couple of days, until something attacks us or we need to be plugged up, we are going to participate in *drum roll* Soni's So-Bored-Nothing-To-Do-Mess-Hall Games!"

"You've got to be kidding me!" Trinity got up to leave. "Oh Trinny, I wouldn't leave if I were you dear." "Why?, and don't call me that." "Anyone who doesn't participate in SBNTOMHG has to face an Agent with no weapons and…naked!" The part about no weapons didn't bother Trinity, it was the second part she sat back down on. "That's what I thought, now the first game is going to be Truth or Dare, a simple game but the stakes are high." "What's Truth or Dare?" "Honestly Tank, you need to get out more. But for all those who don't know Truth or Dare is a game where you take turns asking someone 'truth or dare?' duh. If the person says truth they have to answer a question and no matter the question, they have to answer truthfully, hence the word 'truth'. If the person says dare, and this is the best part, that person has to do whatever the other person tells them to do." "Huh?" "Okay, brain-dead Mouse, for example, if you picked dare and I told you to um let's see, run up to Morpheus and kissed him you would have to do it." "And what if we don't want to do this?" asked Switch noticing the scared look on Mouse's face.

"Well then you're lives end up in my hands and I get to pick the proper punishment for defiling my orders!" "You're crazy to think any of us are going to go through with this." Yelled Cypher opening the door. Soni gave a fake melodramatic sigh. "Alright then, I just thought it would bring us closer together as a family and be something fun we could do." She sniffled a bit for effect. "Oh shit, you know I hate it when you do that Soni." "Then close the door and let's get on with it." Cypher reluctantly closed the door and took his place at the table. Alright, the rules are simple: say the truth, do the dare and there'll be no trouble. Okay?" Everyone nodded their heads. "Alrighty then, who is brave enough to start the game?"

Just to get it over with, Dozer raised his hand. "Very good Dozzy. First, choose who you want to ask the question to." He looked at everyone's murderous faces, death would surly come to him if he picked the wrong person. "Uh…Tank?" "Good, now Tank, you choose truth or dare." "Nice going Dozer, I guess I pick…truth." "Brave choice, but I was sure you were a 'dare' kinda guy. Anyways, Dozer give your brother a question." Silence filled the mess hall as everyone was suddenly interested in playing the game. "Soni, I don't know want to say." "Fair enough, I'll think of something." "I don't think that's fair!" "Hush Tank!" She took a second to think then whispered the question into Dozer's ear. "I can't say that!" "Do it!" "Fine, Tank have you ever slept with anyone that was…ugh…male?" "WHAT?! You think I'm gay or something?" "Tank as long as you're truthful you can say no all you want." "NO, NO, NO!" "Alright, we got the message. Now it's your turn. Ask someone the question."

"I pick…Mouse." "Awww, why me?" "Cause I think you deserve it and cause anyone else I picked would kill me instantly." "You got that right!" said Switch putting her knife back in her pocket. "I pick dare." "Oh goody, now people, the fun begins." "Okay, I dare you to come up behind Switch and grabbed her ass." "Whoo! That's how you do it Tank! Right on!" "If you touch me Mouse I swear you'll never see the light of day ever again!" "Eep!" "No, no this is not how you play, Switch you have to let him otherwise he can't complete the dare." "I couldn't care less!" "Then say hello to Smith for me!" "NO!...fine but we never speak of this to anyone!" "Nothing said here goes out of the mess hall, promise." "Mouse, make it quick!" Switch stood up and closed her eyes tightly. Mouse timidly staggered over to her and lightly touched her butt. "STOP! Tank said to grab it, not poke it!" yelled Soni. "Do it Mouse!" yelled Cypher smiling. "ALRIGHT!" with both hands her grabbed both cheeks and squeezed. "Oww!" He couldn't seem to let go. "Mouse…let go of her!" said Soni looking worried. "I-I can't!" Apoc and Dozer pulled his hands off Switch while she moved to the corner and quietly sobbed.

"Good, that wasn't so bad was it?" Easy for you to say!" "Alright, if we can all get back to our seats, I believe it's Mouse's turn." Everyone sat down including Switch and the game continued. "I pick Trinity." "Damn. I guess truth." "Okay, is it true that you and Cypher had a one night stand at that Zion party last week?" "Um…no." "Hah, I knew it! You're lying!" "Trinity you have to tell the truth otherwise you ruin the fun of the game." "But we didn't!" "That's not what you said last week!" said Cypher a little too calm. "DEAR GOD!" "Trinity you didn't!" "No, it's not true! Cypher and I did nothing!" "Alright! Trinity, since you can't seem to tell the truth, you have to pay the piper." "What?" Soni got up and casually walked over to Trinity's chair. "The punishment is…*scary music*…this!" She pulled a small vial out of her pocket and handed it to Trinity. "And what is it?" "You have to drink this and wait two minutes." "But what is it?" "That is not part of the punishment." Trinity turned the vial in her fingers watching the brown liquid fall. "One question, is this going to kill me?" "No, as far as I know."

"Great." Everyone watched without blinking as Trinity downed the liquid. "Yuck." "Now, we wait." Not even two minutes passed before Trinity gave a horrible groan and ran for the bathroom. Soni fell to the floor laughing. "Oh, I can't believe the look on her face." She said between breaths. "What in the world did you give her Soni?" asked Dozer stifling a laugh. "a laxative!" "What!" "Yeah remember Dozer? You gave it too me when I ate that…well when I was clogged." "Yeah, I thought you took it." "Nope, just let nature run it's course, but I can I see that it works better as a torture item. They couldn't hold it in any longer, the whole mess hall was filled with uncontrollable laughter.
