Chapter Eleven: Truth or Dare
"So, should we all go in now?" Tezuka asked.
"We should've already gone in…" Oishi pointed out.
"We were waiting for them."
"No, you just didn't want to deal with him, and it doesn't matter about going in. We're not partying here. This is just the meeting spot. See, look, more teams are coming!" Sachi exclaimed, pointing down the street where the other teams were walking toward them. "Hey look, sleepy head's actually awake!"
"How many people did you invite?" Tezuka asked in a slightly shocked voice.
"All the teams that played today. And then they got some people…"
"And why are we here if this isn't where the party is?" Oishi asked.
"Eiji, would you care to explain?" Sachi asked.
"We're going to the beach! We're going to the beach!!" Eiji said, jumping around in circles.
"The beach? Oh, that sounds like fun!" Kyoko said.
"Well, at least there will be a lot of people keeping Keigo company so he won't bother us…" Tezuka said.
"Unless Sachi invites him over," Ryoma said, smirking at Tezuka.
"Actually, Eiji is only half right. It's the beach and Keigo's family's beach house…with a pool…and people will be standing around it…talking…" Sachi said, staring at Tezuka. "Some of them will be trying to make up for all the practices they ruined by talking to people. From. Other. Teams."
Sachi's eyes widen as she stares at Tezuka. He looked at her. "Good for them," he said, with the smallest smile on his face.
Eiji gasped and stared at Tezuka. "He's smiling! It's the end of the world!"
Tezuka turned and glared at Eiji.
"Aw, you ruined it, Eiji…" Kyoko said.
"Where is Keigo, anyway? Shouldn't he be out here addressing his guests?" Oishi asked.
"He's getting limos so we don't have another clown car accident. One per team so there is no angriness before there has to be," Sachi explained.
"Oh, a limo? Fun!" Kyoko said, smiling.
"We're riding in a limo! We're riding in a limo!" Eiji said, jumping in circles.
"Then why am I here with you guys? Where's my team?" Yuuta asked.
"I don't know, ask them, not me! Oh, I think that's some of them," Sachi said, pointing to the group from St. Rudolph.
"I believe nearly everyone is here now…" Sadaharu said.
"…I'll go with my team, then…" Yuuta said, walking over to his team.
"Bye, Yuuta," Fuji said, waving at him.
"Well, if everyone is here, we'd better hurry this thing up…" Tezuka said, looking around impatiently.
"Oh, there they are," Sachi said, looking at the limo that pulled up.
Keigo got out of it, and held open the door. "Sachi, you'll be joining me?"
"Uh, I guess if you want me to?"
"You can have her!" Momo exclaimed, pushing Sachi over to him. "Bye spawn of Satan!" He walked over to the rest of the Regulars, rubbing his hands and cackling. "I got rid of the evil!"
"Nope. You missed a major portion of it," Ryoma said, pointing at Momo and smirking.
"Be respectful to your Sempai!" Momo said, glaring at Ryoma.
"Oh…" Fuji said, watching Keigo and Sachi walk off. "She should've ridden with us…"
"The car ride will be over faster than you know it, Fuji. Then you'll see her again," Kyoko said, smiling at Fuji.
"No, it'll be nice and long so I won't have to see him," Tezuka said.
They started to get into the limo when Eiji pushed Momo. "You made my sister go away! I say he has to walk!"
"I agree," Fuji said, smiling.
"Okay," Kaidoh said, getting into the limo after the rest of the Regulars and locking Momo out.
"Hey! HEY!" Momo exclaimed, pounding on the windows.
"I'd ask if we should let him in, but I can already guess what the group opinion will be…" Kyoko started.
"No," was everyone's answer.
"Yeah, I figured…" she said, moving over a little closer to Ryoma to make room for Fuji who was on the other side of her. "So, does anyone know what we're doing when we get to the beach?"
"Push Keigo into the pool!" Eiji said.
Kyoko looked over and noticed Tezuka smile a little.
"Oh, and play in the water, and make sand castles, and bury Chibi-chan…" Eiji listed, counting them on his fingers.
"No," Ryoma said simply.
"And then steal his hat when he falls asleep, and drink Fuffy-loo-loo drinks…" Eiji continued.
"Fuffy-loo-loo?" Oishi asked.
"Sachi's name for blended smoothies in fun cups with umbrellas!"
"…right…"
"Hm…Fuffy-loo-loo drinks sound pretty good…" Kyoko commented.
"And then we'll be at Atobe's beach house so we can get black mail on him!" Eiji said.
"So far, I'm agreeing with Eiji's ideas…" Tezuka said.
"Really?? Yes! And if the captain says they're alright, then the rest of you have to go along with it, too! Or you're off the team!" Eiji exclaimed, pointing at Momo out the window.
"…why are you pointing at me, Eiji-sempai?? Just let me in! All the other limos are getting ready to leave!!" Momo exclaimed.
From her limo, Sachi looked out the window and saw Momo. "They locked out Momo!" she said, laughing.
"Does he give you a hard time?" Keigo asked.
"Oh, every day. It's our thing."
"I could always get back at him or something."
"No thanks. I'm afraid you'd like, hire a hit-man and kill him. And then I'd be bored," Sachi said, rolling down her window, pointing at Momo and laughing before rolling it back up.
"What the…" Momo said, turning and shaking his fist at Sachi, before going back to pounding on the windows.
"Hopefully he doesn't break the windows…" Kyoko said.
"He is as big as an ape, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did." Kaidoh said.
"Momoooo! Can you heeeeear me??" Eiji asked, and began to make faces at Momo through the window.
"…yes, Eiji-sempai, I can hear you…and I can see you, too! Now let me in!" Momo said.
"Only if you swear you won't hurt any of us."
"I swear."
"And play gang-up truth or dare in the limo."
"Fine!"
Eiji snickered quietly and opened the door. Momo closed it behind him, and turned to see Eiji smiling at him.
"Okay, first question, Momo: Truth or dare?"
"Truth…wait, why me?"
"'Gang up truth or dare'…we all get to ask you questions and you can't ask us."
"What?! How is that fair?!"
"You already made the deal."
"I have it right here that you did," Sadaharu said, showing Momo his notebook.
"'Momo said fine to Eiji's demand of playing gang-up truth or dare in the limo'," Momo read aloud, then glared at Sadaharu who took back his notebook.
"Well, now…Eiji you start," Sadaharu said, pushing up his glasses.
"Okay, so truth, huh? What's my middle name?" Eiji asked, looking at him suspiciously.
"That's not a true or false question!" Momo said.
"Good, I was testing you. Okay," Eiji said, tapping his chin. "Do you own any pink underwear?"
Momo stared at him with big eyes.
Ryoma put his head against the back of his chair. "Why are they doing this?"
Kyoko shrugged. "To torture Momo?"
"Well, that part I get…"
"Of course not! Why would I?!" Momo finally answered.
"You have to tell the truth," Eiji reminded him.
"Fine, but I don't wear them. It was a joke gift from my sister…"
Eiji laughed at him. "Okay, okay…Chibi-chan, do you have a good question?"
"Yeah, why are we playing this game?" Ryoma said.
"Eh??" Eiji said, patting Ryoma's head hard. "No, no. That's not how you play this game! Silly Chibi-chan…"
Ryoma sighed and looked at Momo. "Okay…what's the name of the girl you like right now?"
"Don't I get a choice of truth or dare first?!" Momo asked, looking around panicked.
"I don't think those are in the rules," Tezuka said.
"Just answer," prodded Oishi.
Momo sighed. "Which girl?"
"There's more than one! There's more than one!" Eiji exclaimed.
"Okay, list the names of the girls you like," Ryoma said, rolling his eyes. "And don't blame me for the rules of this game…I don't know how it works…"
"Only Eiji apparently knows the rules…" Tezuka pointed out.
"ANSWER!" Eiji said, pointing at Momo.
"Wait, what are the rules?" Oishi asked.
"It's truth or dare, except Momo can't ask us truth or dare. We can only ask him," Eiji explained.
"So I pick dare!" Momo said.
"Fine, I dare you to eat a Dixie cup full of sand at the beach," Ryoma said.
"Better than telling you who I like!"
"You're insane, Momo…" Oishi said.
"Won't he get sick?" Kyoko asked.
"Probably, but he chose his path," Ryoma said, shrugging and smirking at Momo.
"Well, as long as he's okay with the outcome…"
"Okay! Next up is…Tezuka!" Eiji announced.
"…truth or dare, Momo?"
"Dare!"
"That's boring," Eiji said.
"He'll just ask me the same question as Ryoma…you all will!" Momo said.
"He is right you know…" Oishi agreed.
"Fine! Game over due to the robot's head exploding of overload of one question!" Eiji declared.
"Wow, Eiji…" Tezuka said.
"But you're willing to take another painful dare?" Kyoko asked, shaking her head.
"I'm not a robot…" Momo said.
"Yeah, he's an ape," Ryoma corrected.
"Yea—no! I'm not either!"
"At least you guys stopped playing," Ryoma said.
"Are we there yet?" Eiji whined.
"I think we have been for three minutes…" Fuji said, waving to Sachi who was standing outside of the limo looking at them confused.
"YAY!" Eiji exclaimed, rushing out of the door. "Beach! Beach! Beach!"
"At least we all didn't have to sit on each other like the other car," Kyoko said laughing.
"I wouldn't have minded…" Ryoma said quietly.
"Huh?" Kyoko asked, looking back at him.
"…nothing. Let's go find a Dixie cup for Momo to eat sand out of," he said.
Kyoko smiled. "This will be fun."
