Chapter 7: Watching

"What are we doing here again?" Falcon asks.

After our little run in with Clay, Coco Bean escorted us to her sleeping cave which she shares with Boulder and Quicksand.

"Well, a little while ago, I was spying on the Nightwings and—" Bean starts but I cut in.

"Whoah, whoah, wait a second. You spy on the Nightwings?" I ask, shocked.

"Well, I was just watching them," Bean say, "But anyways, I was watching some Nightwings and I saw them playing this game that they called Truth or Dare."

"Well, how do you play?" Froststorm asks.

"I was getting there, but you guys keep interrupting! Ok, so one dragon asks another dragon truth or dare. If the dragon answers with truth, they have to answer a question truthfully. If they answer dare, they then have to complete a dare. No exceptions." Bean explains.

"Sounds fun. I'm in" Seashell says.

"Me too," I agree.

"Count me in," Rock tells us.

"Ok, I'll play," Frosty says.

"Sure!" Q.S. exclaims.

We all look at Falcon.

"Well, are you going to play?" Bean asks him.

"I don't know. I've played this game a lot when I was younger," Bird says, examining his claws, "But then again, I've only played with Skywings before so this time might be different."

"Pleeeeaaaasssseee?" Bean pleads.

"Alright, I'll play," Bird finally says and we all cheer.

"I'll go first!" Bean shouts, excitedly and looks around the room, "Silver! Truth or dare?"

I start to panic. What do I do? Which do I choose?

"Truth!" I blurt out.

"Ok, have you ever had a crush on somedragon?" she asks me.

Do I? I might have feeling for Rock…

My scales want to turn all sorts of colors right now.

"Umm…..Maybe?" I say, but it comes out like a question.

Bean squeals, "I totally have to figure out who it is!"

Please no.

"Is it my turn?" I ask and Bean nods, "Ok, um, Frosty truth or dare?"

"Dare," She replies.

"I dare you to…." What should I dare her to do? I could…. I don't know!

"I dare you to go up to Tsunami and sing the dragonet song," I finally decide and Scallop high talons me.

"Oh no!" She groans, "Do I have too?"

"Yup!" I say.

Frosty groans, gets up, and walks out of the cave.

"I'll follow her," I tell everyone and follow her.

It's not long until I see her. I follow her a bit more until she finds Tsunami.

"Hi Froststorm. How can I help you?" Tsunami asks. Frosty looks so nervous right now. Was I too mean? No, this is a perfect dare. But not something that Frosty would like. Oh my goodness, I'm a mean friend.

"Oh, the dragnets are coming," Frosty starts,

They're coming to save the day."

"What are you doing!? Why are you singing that terrible song!?" Tsunami yells but Frosty continues singing.

"They're coming to fight,

For they know what's right," Frosty sing.

"La la la, I can't hear you!" Tsunami says, covering her ears with her talons.

"The dragnets, HOORAY!"Frosty finishes her song.

"I really would like to slap you in the face right now, but as seeing that you're a student I can't. I should really ban that song." Tsunami tells Frosty and walks away with a flick of her tail. I'm disappointed. I really expected more from her.

I quickly go back to Coco Bean's sleeping cave and sit down. A little while later, Froststorm comes in.

"So how was it?" Rock asks.

"It was terrible! But, I didn't get slapped in the face." Frosty replies, "Quicksand, truth or dare."

"Dare," he says.

"I dare you to eat twenty cows in a row," Frosty tells him.

"Twenty, but that's so many!" Q.S. complains, "Besides, I think that Rock would like those cows more than me."

I look over at Boulder and sure enough, his eyes have lit up at the mention of the word cows.

"No exceptions, remember," Frosty says.

"Ugh, ok," Q.S. whines. He leaves the cave and returned with his claws full of cows. He puts them on the floor.

"That's only ten," Scallop says.

"I know, I'm going to get some more. It would be extremely helpful if somedragon helped me," He tells us.

"Nah, we're good," Falcon says and we all agree. Quicksand groans and leaves again. He comes back later with ten more cows.

"Ok, start eating…..now!" Frosty tells him and Q.S. starts eating the cows as fast as he can. After about seven he slows down. At ten he stops.

"I can't eat anymore," He pants while clothing his stomach, "Falcon truth or dare?"

"Hm, I'll choose dare," Falcon decides.

"I dare you to tell Clay that there are no more hippo's left in the whole world. And you have to say it dramatically," Quicksand tells him.

"That's not so bad," Bird says and leaves to go find Clay. Once again, I follow the victim.

When Bird finds Clay (who's in the prey center, where else?) he drops down on his knees and says very,very, dramatically,

"CLAAAYYYYY! THHHEEERRREE AARRREEE NOOOO MOOORRRREEE HHIIIIPPPPPPPOOOOOSSS IIIINNNNN TTHHHHHEEE WWWORRRLLLLDDDD!"

"WHAT?!" Clay roars, "WHO ATE THEM? WAS IT YOU? IT WAS YOU! COME BACK HERE!"

I watch, trying not to laugh as Clay chases Falcon around the prey center.

"No! Stop! Stop please! It was just a dare!" Bird says and runs out of the prey center. I go back to the cave, taking a short cut, so Bird wouldn't get suspicious.

When I get there, I try not to giggle.

"How was it?" Q.S. asks.

"Clay was chasing Bird all round the prey center because he thought that Bird at all of the hippos," I giggle.

"Oh my goodness!" Bean cries.

Just then, Falcon runs in.

"That was HORRIBLE!" he pants, "I'm never doing that again! Scallop, it's your turn by the way. Truth or dare?"

"Truth," Scallop answers.

"Have you ever seen a dragon that's not a Seawing before coming here?" Bird asks.

"Yeah, I saw a Skywing once. And a Sandwing," Seashell answers, "They were on the beach, and the Skywing was complaining because the sand was got all over her scales and was messing up her image. The Sandwing just buried himself in the sand and fell asleep."

"Cool," Bird says.

"Ok, Silver Truth or Dare?" Scallop asks me. This time, I'm definitely choosing dare.

"Dare," I tell her.

"I dare you to go in the library and shout, 'There are elephants in the prey center!' " Scallop says.

"Ok," I say. That's not too bad.

I go to the library and when I get there, I remember that libraries are supposed to be quiet. I'm going to do the dare anyways.

I open the door and step inside. There are about ten dragons in the library right now.

"Hello. Who are you?" a Nightwing asks. I think that he is Starflight.

I don't respond instead I shout,

"THERE ARE ELEPHANTS IN THE PREY CENTER!"

"Elephants?" I hear somedragon ask.

"I love elephants!" another dragon says.

"I want an elephant!" one dragon shouts.

All of a sudden, all ten dragons are charging at me.

"WE WANT ELEPHANTS!" they cheer.

I try to get out of the way, but I end up getting trampled. I shout as somegdragons stomps on my left wing. Another steps on my snout.

Why did I choose dare?

After a bit, I realize that it's silent. The dragons probably are in the prey center right now, wondering why there aren't any elephants. I better run.

"What was that?" Starflight asks.

"Uhh, nothing!" I lie, "I gotta go, bye!"

I run out of there like there's no tomorrow.

I have to think of a good dare to tell somedragon to get back them. Rock hasn't gone yet. Neither has Bean. I should get one of them.

And I have a perfect plan.

I take a detour to the prey center, hoping that the crazy dragons are gone. They aren't. Great.

I decide to change my scales to become invisible. It takes a bit, since I haven't had suntime in a bit, but I eventually do it.

I slowly make my way towards the fruit. I hope that they have what I'm looking for.

Yes! There it is!

I pick it up with a couple other fruit to make it blend in. Then I realize that the fruit would look like its floating because I'm invisible. I'm just going to take the risk.

When I get to the cave, my scales have changed back to Nightwing black.

"I'm back!" I say.

"How was it?" Seashell asks.

"Terrible. I got trampled!" I tell her, "But I brought some fruit for us to share. Oh, and Boulder, truth or dare?"

"I choose dare," he says through a mouthful of fruit.

"Great!" I exclaim. My plan is working perfectly, "I dare you to eat this fruit."

I hold up the fruit that got to dare him with. I was going to dare Bean, but she would probably recognize the fruit and try to get out of eating it. I look at her and she is trying not to laugh.

"Ok, I don't see what's wrong with this fruit. It looks like an ordinary fruit," Rock comments.

"Just eat it," I tell him and he takes the fruit. Rock inspects it for a bit before shoving the whole thing in his mouth.

"Well, how is it?" Bean asks.

"Mshish vemmy shmewy," Boulder mumbles.

"Yes, those fruit are very sticky and squishy. It takes about an hour to swallow it and then it takes several days to pick the bits out of your teeth," I explain. Rock's eyes widen.

"Whbyi dgignm'nt yquoiu tfenlll mnece?" He questions.

"I have no idea what you just said," Falcon tells him. Boulder's face falls. He gets up and goes over to what I believe is his bed. He comes back with a scroll and an inkwell. Boulder writes something down and shows it to us.

"Bean truth or dare?" Frosty reads. I smile at her and she smiles back.

"Truth," Bean says.

Rock scribbles something on the paper.

"Did you know about the fruit?" Frosty reads again.

"Yeah, duh. I'm a Rainwing, we know all of the fruits." Bean says annoyed. Rock looks annoyed too.

"It's getting late," Quicksand comments.

"True. Why don't we get a good night's sleep so we can play again tomorrow!" Bean exclaims, jumping up and down, clapping her talons.

We all groan. This game is fun, but only when you're making somedragon do a dare or tell the truth. When you do it, it's just embarrassing.

A/N:

Hi, 1FunkyMonkey here,

Sorry it took so long for me to write this chapter. I've been really busy, even on the weekends.

My goal is to update both of my stories at least once a week.

I do want the Sapphire Winglet to play Truth or Dare again, so if you could comment some truths or dares that would be great.

Thanks for reading and have a fantastic day!
