Anyways, let's get to the chapter

Dawn's POV

We had just finished looking around the rainforest, and were heading back to the camp, when a bright and swirly portal opened up and sucked me and Dusk inside. "What in three moons is happening!" He screeched as we tumbled through bright swirly stuff. "Oof!" With a thud, we landed on a cave floor, on top of each other.

"Dawn! Dusk!" A familiar voice exclaimed. Carmine. Wolf lumbered over to help us up, and we tackled them. "Where were you guys?" I asked, and they shook their heads. "We got captured, but we don't know who took us. Then a portal appeared, and a voice told us that after today, everything would go back the way it was. Us in the pitch black cell, you in the rainforest." Carmine stated grimly. "Well then let's get out of here!" Dusk raced over to the cave entrance, but was bounced back.

"Looks like we're stuck here." Dusk mumbled as he rubbed his shoulder. We waited around for a while, and told them of our adventure in the forest, and suddenly a voice shook the cave. "Truth or daaaare " it whispered, and Wolf got the idea to play it. "I'll start. Dusk, truth or dare?" He smiled mischievously. "Uh, truth." Dusk looked unsure. "What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done." Dusk blushed. "Well..there was this one time I ran up a hugged a dragon, thinking it was my brother...but it was actually the General. I didn't train for days!" He smiled sheepishly, and Carmine snickered. "Sorry..but that's just too good." Dusk narrowed his eyes. "Well, then. Carmine! Truth or Dare?" Carmine was taken aback, but she quickly recovered. "Duh! Dare."

"Lick the wall for two minutes straight." He pointed to the moldy, wet cave wall. I shivered. "Yuck." Wolf agreed. "Psh, that's dragonet's play." She boldly stuck her tounge out at Dusk, then placed it on the wall. Her nose scrunched up in disgust, but she completed the dare. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. Carmine grimaced as she sat back down, and looked at me. "Dawn. Truth or dare." I sighed. "I'll go with truth." She thought of a while, then said, "If you had to save an old dragon, or a baby dragonet, who would you choose?" Well, the old dragon has lived a long life, and the baby hasn't. But... My strategic mind went to work. After a while of thinking, I decided on the baby. "I would save the dragonet." Carmine nodded, and said, "It's your turn now." I grinned. "Truth or Dare, Wolf."

Wolf looked around. He looked like he wanted to do a dare, but then again, Carmine's dare was kinda gross. He closed his eyes, then opened them and decided, "Truth." Carmine shook her head. "Always choose dare." Wolf laughed. "Never!". I sighed. "Come on guys! Stop flirting!" They stared at me. "Like you're any different." We laughed for a while, and then got the game back on track. "Who would you rather be a prisoner to? Scarlet, Coral, or Blister?" I smiled, knowing it was a tough one. "Well, Scarlet would just put me in the arena, Coral's Palace is underwater, which I hate, so I guess Blister. But only by a sliver." We shuddered, thinking of the malicious Sandwing we'd battled too many times. Her Seawings were tough.

"Anyways, now what? We all got a turn, and the day's not over." Wolf pointed out the cave entrance. Then the voice came rushing back. "You can goooooooo nowwwwwww." The portals appeared again, and sucked us in. "We will find youuuuuu!" I called as we were sucked back into the rainforest.

Back at our camp, we sat down by the ashes of our fire. "It's too late in the day, we can't search for them now." Dusk admitted as he stared longingly at where the portal once was. We sat there in awkward silence, until I spoke. "That truth or dare game, I think it's a scavenger game. It was kinda fun." Dusk nodded. "And know we know that Carmine and Wolf were kidnapped." I added. He twined his tail around mine. "I know we will find them. But since we can't today, how bout we fix up that stream?" I nodded, glad to get back to the hard work of building the camp.

We tramped to the stream, and I started to dig a trench for the freshwater to flow into. Dusk was unnaturally quiet, and I turned to ask him to came dog, when he pushed me into the stream! "Hey! That's not fair! I was doing all the work!" I tried to hit him with my tail, laughing, but he was already running away, dragging his snout through the dirt. The water flowed close behind, and I smiled. What a joker. We raced back to the camp, and soon we had a fresh water source. I dug a pit for the water to flow into, and Dusk washed his face off in it. "Yuck. Don't try that, Dawn. Dirt tastes bad." I laughed, nudging him. "Of course it does silly! But look, we made the water source." I was quite proud of it. Now we had a basic, working camp.

Late that night, after we ate a meal of mangoes, we sat by the fire again, chatting about the day, and our plans for tomorrow. As I looked around, something caught my eye. A scale. "Hey Dusk, come look at this!" I got up and howled him the scale. It was a Sandwing scale. I matched it to Dusk's but it was a different shade of yellow. It also had a small black tip. Sandwings had captured Wolf and Carmine. I looked at Dusk with wide eyes. "We have to find them. Now." He touched his snout to my cheek and nodded.

"Let's go." We took off, after smothering the fire. We flew through the starry sky, towards the Sand Kingdom. Right into the midst of battle.

Oh, I left you on another cliff. :P Hope you liked that little ToD game. It wasn't the funniest, but hey, it's truth or dare! It's unpredictable.

To clarify a few things, the scale does not belong to Blister. Dawn and Dusk did not fly into a literal battle, it was a metaphor.

Thanks for all the support! Ten chapters strong! Whoo hoo! Keep R and Ring!
