Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show!
By Toadstool89

Chapter 3: Conversations

Toad Town Studios, Toadstool's Awesome Office, 7:00 AM

"Okay, just a little more there, and...Done! Finally!"

Toadstool looked at her finally finished drawing of Godzilla. It looked like...well, no art critic would take it seriously, that's for sure. But at least she finished.

Darrel the camera guy took a peek over Toadstool's shoulder to look at the drawing. "Looks like a kindergartner drew it," he said after a few seconds.

"Whatever," Toadstool muttered.

"So, what's on the itinerary?" asked Purple Yoshi.

"Uh, let's see..."Toadstool pretended to look at a clipboard. "First, we do the show and truth and dare some people."

"And then what?" Darrel prompted.

"That's it."

Darrel just stared at her like he was about to say "What the heck?"

"What? It's not like we do anything else," said Toadstool.

"True..." Darrel mumbled.

"Anything in the mail, Purple?" called Toadstool.

"Dude, I'm right behind you!" exclaimed Purple. Toadstool jumped a little. "Yeah, we do have mail." Purple handed her an envelope.

Toadstool opened it carefully. Her eyes went wide. "What the flip a contract?"

"Contract?" Purple and Darrel echoed.

Toadstool read it over carefully. Then she read it again. And again. "Stupid contract doesn't make any sense!" she exclaimed after a few minutes.

"It doesn't make sense because it has a lot of words you don't understand," chuckled Darrel.

"Fine then...you read it, smart-alec." Toadstool shoved the contract in Darrel's face. "I'm gonna go check the computer for more dares." She walked over to the laptop and logged on.

"Hey, Toadstool!" called Purple. "I'm doing this crossword puzzle and I'm stuck."

"What's the question?" Toadstool replied, not taking her eyes off the computer.

"What's a six letter word that describes an annoying object?" asked Purple.

"D-A-R-R-E-L," said Toadstool.

"Hey!" Darrel shouted. Toadstool and Purple burst out laughing.

"Burn!" exclaimed Purple once he regained his composure. "Nice one, dude!"

Toadstool smirked. "I have my moments." She checked her e-mail. "Cool, more dares...and a truth," she said to herself.

"Oh yeah, shouldn't we be on stage right about now?" asked Darrel.

"It shouldn't be time yet," Toadstool replied. She glanced at the computer's clock. "But I guess it is." She sighed. "Time sure flies when you're insulting Darrel..."


Toad Town Studios, Main Stage, 7:25 AM

All the competitors looked up when they saw Toadstool and her entourage walk onto the stage.

"Hey, everyone," said Purple. "How y'all doin'?"

"I still feel fairy-ish..." said Silver. After the end of the last episode, everything had returned to normal (no one knew how). Silver had his psychokinesis back, and Bloom had her Dragon Flame back. Daisy still felt itchy from wearing the dog suit, though the dog suit had disappeared along with the harp. The studio itself was undamaged. It was as if nothing had ever happened.

"You feel feverish?" asked Toadstool.

"Not feverish. Fairy-ish. Seriously, it still feels like I have wings on my back!" Silver paused. "It's like that feeling you get, when you take your hat off..."

"And you know it's off, but it still feels like it's there?" Mario smiled. "I know, I get that feeling all the time!"

"That happens to me when I remove my spectacles," mused Toadsworth. Everyone except Darrel and Peach looked confused by Toadsworth's fancy words.

"Takes off his glasses," Toad translated. Everyone nodded.

"You know, making stuff float with my mind was kind of fun," said Bloom.

"Yeah, I didn't mind the heat of the Dragon Flame once I got used to it," said Silver, smiling.

Daisy perked up. "I really can play the harp, you know. I would've played a heck of a piece if it weren't for those stupid dog paws." She ducked her head. "Sorry for nearly crushing you, Sonic," she sighed.

Sonic gave his signature thumbs-up. "No worries!"

"She can play!" exclaimed Toadette.

"How do you know?" Viper inquired.

Toadette smiled. "Well, we were in my music room one day, discussing how Beethoven could write the most beautiful pieces in history even though he couldn't hear what he wrote, being deaf and all, and..."

"We're live!" shouted Darrel. Everyone jumped.

"No! That pig was almost dead!" Toadstool sweat dropped. "I mean, welcome to Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show! I'm Toadstool Eighty Nine, but you can call me Toadstool. With me is Darrel, Purple Yoshi and...Everyone else!"

Everyone wave toward the camera.

"Anyway, Toadette, you were saying?" Toadstool prompted.

"Uh..." Toadette hesitated, unsure of what Toadstool wanted.

"No, please, go on! It's an interesting conversation. I'm interested, anyway. Well, more curious, actually." Toadstool blabbed.

"Um...okay, then." Toadette took a short breath. "And she spotted a piece just sitting on the table. I forgot what it was..."

"I wish I could tell you," sighed Daisy. "But that was several years ago..."

"Anyway," Toadette continued, "she picked up the piece and asked me if I had a harp. I got it out for her, and after we tuned it...wow! I mean, her harp skills are awesome. She plays like an angel!"

Daisy blushed. "I'm not that good..."

"You'd have to hear it to believe it," Toadette finished. Everyone clapped.

"You know," Peach began, "I remember this one time when Daisy, Birdo, Rosalina, Toadette and I started a band."

"What kind of band, Miss Princess Peach?" asked Cream.

Peach smiled. "You can call me just Peach."

"Okay, Miss Peach," said Cream. "Oops, sorry, can't really help it..."

"Oh, that's okay. Anyway, to answer your question, uh...what's your name?"

"Cream the Rabbit."

"To answer your question, Cream, it was a rock band." Peach smiled, feeling nostalgic.

"An all-girls rock band? Awesome," said Rouge.

"What'd y'all play?" asked Toadstool. "By the way, even though this is a regular conversation, it counts as a bunch of truths." She paused. "Oh, speaking of the truth, we have a truth question for...Shadow!"

"Fire away," said Shadow.

"Novice asks...What is your favorite color?"

Shadow thought for a moment. "Uh, black, I guess."

"With red stripes?" Tails guessed.

"Yep," Shadow confirmed.

"Well, there you have it folks," said Toadstool to the camera. "Shadow's favorite color is black with red stripes."

"Cheap answer, faker," Sonic mumbled.

"I heard that!" Shadow punched Sonic. The two leaped up from their seats and began to duke it out.

"Hey!" Toadstool exclaimed. Shadow and Sonic turned to look at her mid-fight. "If you two are gonna do that, take it outside! If you're not gonna do that, which I prefer you didn't 'cause I don't want anyone getting injured, sit in your seats!"

Shadow and Sonic looked at each other. They both dashed outside Toad Town Studios.

Toadstool face palmed. "Okay, I'll give them five minutes," she suggested.

"Five minutes?!" gasped Cream.

"Knowing those two, it'll take them five hours," Tails sighed.

Espio looked out the door that Sonic and Shadow had busted through. "I hope neither one of them gets hurt..."

"Anyway," Toadstool addressed Peach, "Please continue."


Outside of Toad Town Studios, Toad Town, 7:37 AM

Sonic was running from Shadow at top speed. He was smiling. He'd wanted an excuse to run ever since Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show started. Picking a fight with Shadow gave him that excuse.

Shadow caught up to Sonic and ran beside him. "You're gonna get it," he warned him.

"You wanna race?" Sonic asked. This took Shadow by surprise.

"You mean you don't wanna fight?" asked Shadow incredulously.

"No," Sonic confirmed. "So, you wanna race or not?"

Shadow ran past Sonic in reply.

"Aw, yeah!" Sonic ran even faster.


Inside Toad Town Studios, Main Stage, 7:40 AM

Espio crossed his arms, deep in thought. "Do you really think those two are gonna brawl in the middle of Toad Town?" he asked no one in particular.

"We played a lot of songs from each of our favorite rock bands," Peach was saying to everyone who was listening to her. "We also played a few songs by rock bands from Earth. I remember this one time we tried to play AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck'..."

"I personally think those two just wanted a reason to run," Toadsworth mused. "I may not know how fast, but it would appear to me that they have a condition in which they cannot stand still for longer than five seconds."

Everyone who wasn't listening to Peach stared at Toadsworth like "What the heck?"

"...Daisy really wanted to sing it. We pulled up a video on Earth's YouTube, and we watched it four or five times to memorize the rhythms. Then we went online and found the lyrics. Then we attempted to play it..." Peach laughed. "Let's just say it didn't go right the first time! Anyways..."

"Huh." Toadstool walked out the room.

"Where's she going?" Purple asked.

Darrel shrugged.


Toad Town Studios, Toadstool's Awesome Office, 7: 42 AM

"Where the heck is it?!" Toadstool cried.

Toadstool knew about all the items in the Mushroom Kingdom. She always kept one of each in her private office room. She checked over the shelves again. Fire Flower, 1-UP, Ice Flower, Bee Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, Super Leaf...where was the box? The box that contained the most devastating item in her collection? Had she forgotten to put it in here?

"Wonder if it's on the bottom shelf..." Toadstool got on her knees to look at the very bottom shelf: the shelf with all the super items.

Power Star, Rainbow Star, P-Wing, Invincibility Leaf, Golden Mushroom... "Here it is!" Toadstool grabbed the box and got out of the Awesome Office.


Toad Town Studios, Main Stage, 7:45 AM

Peach was still going at it. "...and then we had to try it again. It really was coming together nicely, though. Daisy sung like a real rock star. Rosalina kept banging the drums like there was no tomorrow. Birdo was awesome on the bass. Toadette, well...she was still trying to get used to the electric guitar. You see, before this she had never played any instrument other than classical instruments..."

"I'm back!" Toadstool announced, interrupting Peach.

"Where'd you go?" asked Purple.

"To the Office," Toadstool replied.

"For what?" Darrel asked.

"For this!" Toadstool held the box up in the air.

"What's that for?" asked Omochao.

"You'll see." Toadstool began to carefully open the box. "If what Toadsworth says is true..." she began.

Darrel and Purple leaned forward.

"...and Sonic and Shadow wanna outrun each other..."

Everyone else leaned forward.

"...then I'd like to see them..." Toadstool pulled out a rainbow colored box with a question mark on it. She threw it on the ground.

"...outrun this!" Toadstool held up a blue Spiny Shell.

To be continued...


Hey, everybody! So, yeah, some notes! Actually, there are no notes this chapter. No...Yes there are. Anyway, I'm still looking for truths and dares. I do have quite a few submitted ones that I plan on doing on the show. I've also come up with a few of my own, but I'll probably be doing my truths and dares in later chapters. Here's the character roster again for Truth or Dare.

Princess Peach
*Steve McToad
*Mariana McToad
*Mariana Jacquelyn
Bowser
Toadsworth
Mario
Luigi
Toad
Toadette
Rosalina
*Annabella
Princess Daisy
Wario
Waluigi
Sonic the Hedgehog
*Samantha the Hedgehog
Omochao
Amy Rose
Miles "Tails" Prower
Silver the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog
Blaze the Cat
Rouge the Bat
Knuckles the Echidna
Espio the Chameleon
Cream the Rabbit
Cheese the Chao
Tigress
Viper
Firestar
Leafpool
Squirrelflight
Bloom

Additional notes: I'm thinking of taking all my OCs (the ones with a * by their name) out of the show ('cause who cares about OCs in a big show like this?) and replacing them with other characters from the five series in here. Which characters to add, though...? I'll figure it out. I said all that to say the roster will be a little different next chapter.

It's not that I don't care about OCs period. I'm just saying...how can people truth or dare my OCs if they know nothing about them? That's kinda pointless.

This is my first time putting a 'To be continued' on anything.

Anyway, I promise in the next chapter I will do at least one dare, maybe more depending on how the chapter writes out.

I don't own Mario, Sonic, Kung-Fu Panda, Warriors, or Winx Club.

Bye!
