Author's Notes: Thanks a lot for your reviews, everyone:) I bet you liked the tennis match since it's kinda like any ordinary tennis game but with Mario and friends in it.
Surferljb: You really want to have them to play Truth or Dare? Anyway, we will stop talking about the teachers. At school, my friends and I were playing Truth or Dare at break and we carried on playing it at dinnertime, I said truth or dare to my friend and she said "Dare." So I said a dare to her that is, "I dare you to kiss everyone in this school." My friend said that she doesn't want to do it. And all of my friends said, "Ewww!" Sorry I had to say this to you. And also at school at break time, my friends, Laura, Stephanie and Carolina and me were play Truth or Dare again. Laura said to Stephanie, "True, dare, double dare, kiss, commander or promise." Stephanie picked dare and Laura said a dare to her that was; "I dare you to go inside the school and hold a crisp packet in your mouth." But Stephanie doesn't want to. So she has to do a forfeit but the bell rang. She then says, "Saved by the bell." I think she doesn't want to do it.
Incarn8word: What I'm asking you was 'is this is the first time you reviewed me?' And also thanks for the comments to Chapter 9 and the other chapters:D
After this, let's get on with the chapter!
Chapter 10: Truth or Dare – Mario Style!
Right now, Mario and his friends were walking downstairs while carrying the tennis equipment. They walked to the door of the storage room and opened it. Inside, the room was very dark, there is loads of dust everywhere and the objects were all over the place.
"Princess, this room is a mess!" Mario shouted.
"Princess, I didn't know you were such a secret slob." Toad said.
"Look, you can't expect me to rule a kingdom and to take out the garbage too." Peach replied.
"I know but you should have time to clean this room."
"I don't have time since I'm a princess."
"I already know that. But you shouldn't leave the stuff lying around."
"I know but the servants should clean this room and the castle all the time."
"Achoo!" Mario sneezed, covering his nose with his hand.
"Bless you, Mario." Goombella says.
"Here's a tissue for you," Peach replied, giving a pink tissue to Mario. "Use it to blow your nose."
Mario grabbed it and blew his nose.
"Thanks, princess. I really needed that." The red-clad plumber smiled. "Um…princess, can we go out now? The dust is making me sneeze!"
"Okay! Why not you wait outside for us while we put away the equipment." Princess Peach said to him.
"Okeydokey!" Mario said with a smile.
He went outside the room and waited for them. While he was waiting, Princess Peach, Daisy, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette and Mario's team were still inside the storage room.
"Where should we put the baskets, cousin?" Daisy asked.
"I think we should put them there." Peach said, pointing to the direction where to put them.
Daisy holds the basket and put it near the chair that was at the far left side of the room. Toadette put the other basket near the vase that was at the far right side of the room.
"Your majesty, where's Toadsworth?" Toadette inquired.
"He went to somewhere but I'm not sure where he went." Princess Peach Toadstool answered.
"Oh but where did Mario go?"
"He went outside to wait for us."
"Oh. Um… where do we put the net, princess?"
"We put it over there." The princess said to her servant, pointing to the left.
"Okay!" The female toad nodded.
Toadette and Toad moved the net to the left side of the storage room. They then went back to the princess.
"Your princess-ness, we've already did it. Now what do we do?" Toad asked.
"We need to put away the rackets next." Peach said to him.
"But where do we put them?"
"We put them near the chest."
"Okay!"
"Luigi, can you put the rackets near the chest for me please?" The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom said, politely.
"Of course, princess!" Luigi said with a grin.
The green-clad plumber went to the chest and put the four rackets near it. He turned back to the princess with a puzzled face.
"Princess, what is that?" Luigi asked, pointing to the chest in front of him.
Peach walked over to Mario's younger brother.
"That is just a chest." She replied.
"But what's inside it?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing! Then why do you keep it in here?"
"Well, when my castle was uprooted and I got kidnapped again by Bowser, Twink who was a star kid asked me the same question. I told him that there is another chest like this one, somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom. I also said to him that you could put something in the chest and somebody takes it out from another chest."
"But where is the other chest?"
"Where IS it? You know I can't remember!"
"Does Mario know where it is?"
"Beats me."
"Hey, cousin! Have we put everything away?" Daisy questioned.
"I think we did." Peach says, looking around to check if they put the equipment away. "Yep, we definitely did. Now, let's go outside!"
Peach, Luigi, Toad, Toadette, Yoshi, Daisy and Mario's buddies went outside of the storage room to find Mario.
"Hmmm… I wonder where did Mario go to?" Princess Peach said, looking everywhere for her friend.
"Right here!" A voice exclaimed.
Peach turned around to see Mario coming towards her and her friends.
"Mario! Where were you?" She asked.
"I was waiting near the room for you and the others." The red-clad plumber replied.
"Oh. So are we ready to play 'Truth or Dare' with our guests?" Peach asked her mates.
"I'm ready to play, princess." Mario said.
"I'm ready when you are, cousin!" Daisy said with a smile.
"Yoshi!" Yoshi said with joy.
"We're ready, your princess-ness!" Toad and Toadette said with a grin.
"I'm prepared, princess." Luigi replied.
"Then, let's go!" Peach yelled.
She went up the stairs and stood still in front of the double door to the second floor while Mario and his friends were standing next to Birdo.
"Everyone! May I have your attention please!" Peach yelled at the top of her voice.
Everyone stopped what they're doing and turned around to pay attention to the princess.
"Thank you." She said. "I have something to say to all of you. So, um… er… do you want to play 'Truth or Dare'?"
"What's that?" Yoshi asked from below.
"Truth or Dare is a… um… Mario will tell all of you what it is." Peach told the guests.
She went down the stairs to look for Mario. She then noticed him standing next to his friends and Birdo. She walked to him and holds his hand. Peach is still holding Mario's hand, running upstairs. They stood still in front of the double door.
"Uh… princess, do I really have to do this?" Mario asked, feeling very nervous.
"Yes, you have to." Peach answered.
"But I don't want to do it."
"I thought you know the rules of Truth or Dare."
"But it's too embarrassing to say something in front of everyone."
"Mario, don't be a chicken. You can do it just for me, can't you?"
"Er… I think I can do it. I'll try."
Mario cleared his throat and walked forward.
"Truth or Dare is a game. You have to play this with your friends. You say "True, dare, double dare, kiss, commander or promise." Or "Truth or Dare?" The other person will have to pick which one. If he or she picked, for example, dare, you say "I dare you to… say 'I love you' 100 times to Daisy." If you don't want to do it, you have to do a forfeit. A forfeit is another dare. I can't tell all of you the rest of the rules, otherwise I will be here all day talking to you." He told the guests.
He went down the stairs to go back to his friends.
"Now everyone, form a big circle."
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Toadette, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Wario, Waluigi and Mario's old and recent partners were in a big circle.
"Now, who wants to go first?" Mario asked his pals.
"I do, Mario!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Okay! Now, let's start the game." The plumber announced.
"Truth or Dare?" Daisy said to Luigi.
"Dare." Luigi replied.
"I dare you to say 'I love you' 100 times to me."
"Say 'I love you' 100 times! That's crazy! I can't do that!"
"Then, you have to do a forfeit."
"What's the forfeit, then?"
"I dare you to run on the spot for 15 minutes."
"I don't think I can last that long."
"Come on, Luigi! You have to do the forfeit!"
"But I don't want to do it."
"Please, pretty please? If you do it, I'll give you a kiss."
"…sigh… okay, I'll do it."
Luigi went to the middle of the circle and ran on the spot.
"Okay, it's my turn! Truth or Dare?" Wario said to Mario.
"Dare." Mario says.
"I dare you to… skip your turn!"
"Mamma mia." Mario sighed. "Hey! Wait a second! That doesn't count!"
"It does count!" Wario shouted.
"Does not!"
"Does to!"
"Does not!"
"Does to!"
"Does not!"
"Does to!"
"Does NOT!"
"Does TO!"
Princess Peach came over to Mario and Wario. She pushed them both to get them away from each other.
"What's going on here?" She inquired.
"He said that it doesn't count!" Wario yelled, pointing at Mario.
"He said that it does count!" Mario bellowed, pointing at Wario.
"Oh for mushroom's sakes! Stop arguing you two! You're ruining the game! I agree with Mario anyway, saying 'I dare you to skip your turn' doesn't count!" Peach scolded Mario and Wario.
"See? Even the princess agrees with me!" The red-clad plumber said, giving Wario a taunting stare.
"Now, you two better shake hands and be good friends, alright?" Princess Peach smiled.
"Yeah, whatever." Wario said.
"Whatever you say, princess." Mario replied.
Peach walked away from them. While she was gone, Mario and Wario stuck their tongues out at each other and went back to their spot.
"Can I stop running now? 15 minutes is gone, isn't it?" Luigi asked, while jogging on the spot.
"Yes, you can stop now." Daisy replied.
Luigi stopped running and went back to his spot.
"It's my turn! True, dare, double dare, kiss, commander or promise." Mario said to Wario.
"Dare, you loser." Wario replied.
"I dare you to talk to the wall."
"Heck, no."
"Are you chicken to do it?" Mario taunted, doing a chicken stance and making chicken noises.
"I am NOT a chicken!"
"Ooh! Look at me, I'm Wario! I'm a chicken because I don't want to talk to the wall!" Mario teased, still doing a chicken stance.
While Mario is teasing his rival, everyone else was laughing their heads off. They laughed so hard that they couldn't stop laughing.
"Nice one, Mario! That was so funny!" Goombella said, still laughing.
"Good one, Gonzales!" Yoshi (one of Mario's new partners) said, still laughing as well.
"Will ya stop calling me a chicken!" Wario shouted.
"Make me! I won't stop insulting you until you talk to the wall." The red-clad plumber said, mockingly.
"Do I have to?"
"Yeah, you have to or I'll carry on."
"Alright, you loser. But you're gonna pay for that when I get back!"
Wario went away from the circle and walked to the wall. Mario and his friends turned around to look at him.
"Hello, wall. How ya doing? I'm fine, playing 'Truth or Dare' with a bunch of losers. Mario thinks he's so clever, knowing all the rules and calling me a chicken. Well, I'll show him not to mess with me! If he ever comes near me, I'll beat him so bad; his brother will never recognize him! Anyway, I have to go, wall. See ya; I'm going back to the losers to play that cruddy game." Wario said.
He went away from the wall and went back to the circle to see Mario and his buddies laughing themselves to death.
"Hey! What's so funny?" Wario hollered.
Mario and his friends were still laughing. Some of them were laughing and crying at the same time.
"Are you losers listening to me!" Wario yelled, starting to get annoyed.
"Sorry. It's… just… just…" Mario couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, I can't stop laughing! It was so hilarious of what you did back then!"
"What's hilarious?"
"You are talking to the wall! I can't believe you did that!"
"So! What's so funny about that?"
"Well, it's really silly of you to do that! You are such a crazy moron!"
"Moron! You calling me a moron!"
"Well, you are a moron anyway."
"You'll pay for that! You're gonna get a knuckle sandwich you'll never forget!"
Wario went to Mario and he got out his fist, trying to hit his rival. But Wario missed and hit Bow by accident. Bow turned invisible and appeared in front of Wario.
"How dare you hit me! Now, you're going to pay for that!" Bow yelled.
She got out her fan and smacked Wario silly!
"Hey! Ow! Hey, watch it, will ya! Ow! That hurts!" Wario shouted.
She kept on smacking Wario until he fainted.
"That will teach you!" Bow said, pointing at Wario.
She disappeared and reappears at her spot, leaving Wario still lying there.
"Who wants to have a turn?" Mario asked his mates.
"I do!" Goombella exclaimed. "Truth or Dare, Mario?"
"Truth, Goombella."
"Okay. Is it true that you trounced the Shadow Queen and saved Princess Peach and the world?"
"Yep, it's true."
"Um… can I have a go, Mario?" Watt asked.
"Sure!" The red-clad plumber grinned.
"Um… er… True, dare, double dare, um… kiss, commander or promise."
"Promise."
"Um… Do you promise to save Princess Peach for the rest of your life, if she's… um… in trouble?"
"Promise."
"It's my turn! Truth or Dare, Gonzales." Yoshi said to Mario.
"Dare." The plumber replied.
"I dare you to…"
"SLIDE! - SLIDE! - SLIDE! - SLIDE! - SLIDE! ..." Some voices exclaimed.
"What was that!" Mario asked with a mystified face.
"I'm not sure but let's find out!" Yoshi replied.
To be continued…
