That night in Gloomsville was gloomier than usual. It had started to rain again, to an extent that not even Misery wanted to go outside. The only other option was to stay in.
Everyone was grouped around the table in the dining room.
A ginger-haired girl stood to speak.
"Let's play a game to pass the time guys, the rain can't last forever you know."
There were approving nods all around.
A young cyclops almost leaped out of her seat in excitement
"Can we play truth or dare? Huh Ruby huh?
"Sure Iris, that sounds like a fun game to play."
And so the game began. The group went around in a circle, each taking their respective turns.
Iris always picked Dare, Scaredy, always truth, Frank and Len switched out, Misery choose dare, nothing could possibly be worse than what she normally went through. Poe always answered HIS truth with a long story about his childhood.
It was Iris's turn to pick a victim, and this time, her choice was Ruby.
"So, Ruby, Truth or DARE?" The young cyclops asked with a huge grin on her face.
Thinking it over for a while, Ruby chose.
"Truth"
Everyone besides Skullboy and Ruby huddled into a circle, there were whispers, and chuckles.
Ruby gave a confused glance to the skeleton boy, which he returned with a shrug of his shoulders.
The others turned, all eyes focused intently on Ruby.
Iris Spoke.
"So Ruby, What's your biggest secret?"
Ruby looked nervous.
"I changed my mind, dares are more fun anyway!" She said quickly.
This confused the skeleton boy, what was so bad that she would purposefully avoid telling her friends about it?
This caused the group to snicker.
"Fine, Fine Ruby, but you aren't getting out of this THAT easily." Iris said with a menacing grin.
Ruby gulped.
"I DARE you, to reveal your biggest secret."
"That's silly Iris, you already know all my secrets, I'm an open book." forced laughter.
"I didn't say to tell me." Te cyclops girl said.
She tilted her head towards a certain skeleton and raised her eyebrow.
Skullboy was almost dizzy with confusion, what was going on?
Ruby's face went red.
"You two step into the other room. We can stay here."
Ruby took a deep breath and swallowed.
They both stood up, and stepped out of the dining room.
