As the bottle spun around, everyone's eyes were on it, praying that it wouldn't land on them since Terumi was the one calling the shots this round. As luck would have it, the bottle landed on Eddy. Eddy started to sweat cannonballs.
"Alright half-pint, what's it gonna be?" Terumi mocked.
Eddy put on a determined face despite being scared shitless. "Dare me snake-breath! I'll take whatever you've got!"
"Oh ho ho, decided to grow a pair, huh?" Terumi chuckled. "The problem is, you won't be taking anything. In fact, you'll be LOSING something." Eddy raised an eyebrow. "I dare you to take out a 20 and burn it!"
Eddy's mouth dropped open. "Say WHAT now!? No way Jose!"
Kevin grabbed Eddy by the shirt. "Listen Dork, whatever cake that vampire chick has is GOT to be worth more than 20 bucks. You're getting my jawbreaker stash anyways, why do you care!?"
"But Kev! 20 bucks!" Eddy whined.
"But Eddy! Jawbreakers and cake!" Ed whimpered.
"Shorty, if you throw this for us over 20 measly bucks, I'll let Lee do whatever she wants to you, you can BET on that!" Marie threatened.
Knowing that whatever Lee would do to him was 1,000 times worse than whatever Terumi could do, Eddy grumbled and took out his wallet. Marie took out a lighter and handed it to him.
"You guys….are gonna pay for this…..LITERALLY!" Eddy sobbed, setting his money on fire. Terumi was laughing his ass off at the boy's very literal expense.
"Aw man, I haven't seen misery like that since the time the shitty vampire ran out of tea!" Terumi laughed hysterically. Rachel shot him a look, which made him laugh harder.
"That….that was a nightmare come true," Eddy cried. He spun the bottle, which landed on Lambda. "Hey Robo-Chick, truth or dare?"
"I wish to choose truth," Lambda chose.
Eddy thought for a moment. "If you weren't under Kokonoe's control, what do you think you would do?"
Lambda smiled. "I would enjoy creating a nature preserve for tartars."
"Like tartar sauce?" Ed asked.
Lambda shook her head and took Tartar out of the folds of her costume, dressed as a little heart. "This is my companion, Tartar." Tartar happily swayed side to side in her hand. Most of the girls at the circle cooed at how cute the little thing was.
Double Dee's eyes went wide with excitement. "This is absolutely astounding! I must learn more about this creature!" he said, taking out his notebook. He leaned in, causing Tartar to cower a little in fear.
"Double Dee," Lambda said. "I wish for you not to lean in so close. Tartar may scare easily when encroached."
Double Dee returned to his seat. "My apologies, I have a tendency to get carried away with biology and sciences presented towards me."
"Yeah, we all know that Sock Head," Eddy chimed in. "Can we keep going here?"
"Affirmative, Eddy is correct. We must keep playing." Lambda spun the bottle, which landed on Kagura. "Kagura, do you wish to choose truth or dare?"
"Dare me to do whatever you want, babe," Kagura said with a wink, making the girls sigh in disgust.
"You must refrain from flirting with the other females at this party for the rest of the competition." The rest of the girls looked at Kagura with hope in their eyes.
Kagura started looking around nervously, all eyes on him. "I-I-I-I-I don't know if-"
"What's wrong Kagura?" Makoto teased. "Does the charm not have an off switch?" The girls laughed.
Kagura turned to Rachel with shame in his eyes. "I'm sorry Rachel, this isn't something that I can do. I'm afraid we're out."
Rachel facepalmed and shook her head. "I am quite disappointed that you cannot control your urges long enough to continue. Nevertheless, we have lost." She sighed. "Lambda, since this lust-filled fool has failed, please continue." Lambda spun. It landed on Tsubaki.
"Tsubaki, do you wish to choose truth or dare?" Lambda asked.
"I will choose truth," Tsubaki answered.
"I have heard rumors that you are a fan of romantic novels. Tell me, do you happen to be a fan of the novel known as 50 Shades of Gray?"
Tsubaki blushed so hard you'd think she became a tomato. "I, er…. I…"
"Wow, Red Lady's REALLY red now!" Tao said from the sidelines, making everyone laugh.
"Y-yes, I do so happen to be a fan," Tsubaki admitted. "But for the storyline, not the, um, other stuff!"
"Busted!" Luna yelled. Everyone started laughing hard, making Tsubaki turn 3 more shades of red.
"My God you people are unbelievable!" Tsubaki complained. She spun the bottle. It landed on Litchi. "Miss Litchi, truth or dare?"
"Hmm...I think I will choose truth," the doctor said.
"When you made me do all of those cosplays, how exactly did you end up with Noel and Taokaka's clothes?" Everyone looked at Litchi.
"W-what?" Noel exclaimed. "Miss Litchi, how did you get my uniform?"
"Yeah Boobie Lady, how did you get Tao's clothes, meow?" Tao questioned.
"Um….um," Litchi looked around nervously. "Well…..you see…"
"Litchi, if you throw this, so help me God…" Kokonoe warned.
Litchi hung her head. "I'm sorry for taking your clothes girls. I'd rather not say how I got them, but I will give them back as soon as I am able to."
"That IS quite strange," Rachel said. "Sector Seven is now eliminated. Tsubaki, if you would be so kind."
Tsubaki spun again. It landed on Nu. "Nu, truth or dare?"
"Nu wants to do a dare!" Nu said.
"Switch costumes with Lambda."
"Okay!" Nu grabbed Lambda's hand and started dragging her to a room for them to change.
"Please refrain from dragging me! I have not agreed to this task!" Lambda begged.
"Don't care sis! I'm in it to win it!" Nu declared. Five minutes later, Nu was cupid and had her swords modified as love arrows and Lambda was a vampire. "Well, whaddya think?" Nu asked, turning around. "Doesn't Nu look adorable in this?"
Lambda had an annoyed look on her face. "I am not pleased with this outcome." Nu spun the bottle, landing on Ragna, much to his horror.
"Oh, Ragna! Truth or dare?" she asked happily.
"D-d-d-dare," Ragna asked nervously, not wanting to know any kind of truth question Nu would ask, but also worried about whatever dare she would give him.
"Woohoo! Nu wants Ragna to let her sit on his lap for the rest of the game!"
Ragna threw up his hands. "Nope, forget it. I'm out," he surrendered.
Nu frowned. "Aww, Ragna doesn't want to play with me?" she said wistfully.
"No! And in case you missed it, HELL NO!" Ragna shouted. "No cake is worth letting Nu near me!"
"I….can't really say I blame you Ragna," Noel said.
"I don't really like losing, but I'm not holding this one on you," Makoto said.
"So you chose me over this woman Brother!? I KNEW you'd make the right choice!" Jin said, scooting near Ragna.
"Jin, if it was you asking to sit on my lap, I'd leave the entire damn party!" Ragna yelled, scooting away from him.
"It appears that this mangy mutt has lost the competition for Team Rebellion," Rachel said. "However, they have earned 2 points for coming in third place. They are now in first." Their team smiled, thinking that it wasn't a bad consolation prize.
Nu spun again. It landed on Double Dee. "Double Dee, truth or dare?"
'This chick scared Ragna to the point of him dropping out. I'm a little worried,' he thought. He took a deep breath. "Dare."
"Nu dares you to make out with Marie and act like you love it!" she said. Some of the guests gave "Oohs!" to the sound of that. Double Dee looked at Marie nervously. He's never kissed a girl before, save for the random Kanker attacks, so he didn't even know where to start.
"Just close your eyes," Marie reassured him. Double Dee did as he was told. Before he knew it, Marie pulled him by the shirt onto the ground with her and made out with him hard. Ten seconds later, Double Dee sat up, gasping for air, lipstick all over his mouth.
Marie looked at him. "You know Oven Mitt, I don't think you ACTED like you liked it," she said with a wink.
Double Dee smiled nervously. "I s-s-suppose you're r-r-right Marie. That was more enjoyable than I expected." Double Dee spun the bottle. This time it was Terumi's turn. "Terumi, truth or dare?"
"Dare me, loverboy!" Terumi challenged.
"If you must insist," Double Dee said, giving an uncharacteristically evil smile. "I dare you to let Eddy and I put an El Mongo Stink Bomb in your mouth again and keep it in there until it explodes."
Terumi shivered at the memory of the boys giving him that treatment again. "Oh you're kidding me! AGAIN!?"
Eddy pulled out a stink bomb via hammerspace. "Your call, Ourobutthead!"
Terumi stood up. "Forget it! Once was enough! My breath smelled like rotten eggs for 2 months after that! Screw you guys, I'm out!" He walked out of the mansion in a huff, making everyone cheer at the small victory.
"That means that Team Cul-De-Sac has won Truth or Dare, earning their team 4 points and Trololol 3 points," Rachel announced. The team cheered at the victory. "This also means that our two finalist teams are Team Rebellion with 7 points and Cul-De-Sac with 9 points, congratulations."
"What do you mean by 'finalist' teams?" Noel asked.
"Since your 2 teams have acquired the most amount of points out of the 6, you will compete in one last competition to see who will win the cake slices," the birthday girl explained. "You may all enjoy yourselves for now. We will begin the final competition in half an hour." Everyone dispersed and went to the various areas of the party to enjoy themselves while they waited for the last event, whatever it may be.
