"Tom & Janna: Episode 2: Truth or Punishment."
ME: Janna was hanging out at her house with Tom, Jackie, Kelly, and Eclipsa. Tom, Jackie, and Kelly were sitting on the one sofa that was on the right side, while Eclipsa was sitting on the sofa that was across from the other one.
ECLIPSA: Is there any particular reason as to why I'm here?
TOM: I don't know. Janna just told me to text you guys to come over. I'm not sure what she's planning to do.
ME: Janna walks into the living room with her hands behind her back.
KELLY: Uh, no offense, but why are we here?
JANNA: Behold!
ME: Janna holds out a blue box.
TOM: You asked me to bring these girls here so you could show us a box.
ECLIPSA: Um, that's not just a box, hon.
JACKIE: Yeah, that's the Box of Truth. I played Truth or Punishment when I was at Star's sleepover.
TOM: I'm not sure I like the "punishment" part of this.
JANNA: Oh, don't be a wuss, Tom. Anyways, this isn't just the Box of Truth.
KELLY: Then what is it?
JANNA: It's better.
TOM: You modified it?
JANNA: *nods* Mm-hmm. Now this box will have a truth, a punishment, and a dare.
TOM: *nods* Interesting.
JANNA: So, who wants to play?
JACKIE: I'm game!
KELLY: Me too.
TOM: *shrugs* Sure, why not?
ECLIPSA: Alright, but let's all be careful with this.
JANNA: Everyone, stick your pinky fingers into the Box of Truth's mouth and swear to it that you'll tell the truth.
TOM: I'll tell the truth.
ECLIPSA: Truth.
KELLY: Truth.
JACKIE: The truth.
JANNA: The truth.
ME: The Box of Truth's eye opens as it rises up from the coffee table.
BOX: Tom Lucitor!
TOM: Uh, yeah?
BOX: What is your…favorite movie?
KELLY: Wait, that's it?
JANNA: Oh, it gets intense. Trust me.
TOM: I'd have to go with "Scream."
BOX: Truth!
JANNA: Really?
TOM: Hey, it's a classic!
BOX: Now, Jackie Lynn Thomas, I dare you to share your deepest and darkest secret.
JACKIE: My deepest and darkest secret? Ooh, let's see. Oh! One time, when I was 6, my Mom wouldn't let me get a pack of bubblegum at the checkout, so I decided to steal it. B-But that's the only time I've stolen something!
JANNA: You stole something? Nice.
TOM: If I were you, I would have eaten the whole pack of gum and then put the wrapper back where it was so my mother wouldn't notice.
JANNA: Hey, that's clever.
KELLY: Jackie, that's not really deep. Or dark.
JACKIE: Well, I've never really done anything that bad, so that was the best one I could think of.
BOX: Eclipsa, Queen of Darkness, did your monster husband, Globgor, eat your former husband, King Shastacan?
TOM: Wait, what?
ECLIPSA: *clears throat* Yes, Globor ate King Shastacan before he met me and became a vegetarian. Nowadays, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
TOM: He ate a king?! Okay, that's disturbing.
JANNA: Says the guy who likes to have dead caterpillars in his ice cream.
TOM: Well, at least they're already dead!
BOX: Let's make this a little more interesting, shall we?
ME: The Box of Truth rises up to the ceiling and turns the living room into the same color as the cube turns the living room into a giant, metal cube.
TOM: Okay, now it's getting good.
BOX: Kelly! I dare you to do jumping jax as you play this game.
KELLY: *scoffs* My family has been fighting and wrestling other Wooletts for ages. Doing an exercise should be a walk in the park.
BOX: DO IT!
KELLY: Okay, okay, jeez!
ME: Kelly stands up from the couch and starts jumping jax.
KELLY: *panting* One. Two. Three-
BOX: And now it's time to ask all of you a question.
TOM: Oh, crap.
BOX: Are you all hiding something from someone you love?
JACKIE: Nah, I'm good.
ECLIPSA: No.
JANNA: Not at all.
KELLY: *panting* I'm…not dating…anyone. Plus…I never hide…anything…from my parents.
TOM: I tell the people I love how I feel, so that would be a "no" for me as well.
BOX: Someone is lying.
JANNA: Huh?
ME: Electricity comes out of the Box of Truth and lifts everyone in the air.
KELLY: *panting* How am I…supposed to do..jumping jax now?!
BOX: Who was the one who lied?
JANNA: *grunts* Uh, Eclipsa?
ECLIPSA: I swear I didn't lie about anything. Uh, Kelly?
KELLY: *panting* Kinda busy here! But…no, I didn't lie. J-Jackie?
JACKIE: No, I'm really not hiding anything. What about you, Tom?
TOM: Huh?
JANNA: Babe, if you're lying, then spit it out.
TOM: Okay, okay! I, uh…I used Marco's toothbrush to scrub his toilet because I couldn't find any toilet scrubbers!
BOX: LIES!
JANNA: TOM!
TOM: Well, that did happen!
ME: The Box of Truth's electricity grabs everyone by their necks.
JANNA: *gasping* Babe…please!
TOM: *gasping* Okay, I, uh…last night when I went to bed, I was thinking about leaving Janna.
BOX: Truth!
ME: The Box of Truth lets everyone go.
ALL: *inhale/exhale*
JANNA: You were thinking about breaking up with me?
TOM: Ummm….
JACKIE: Dude, you already confessed. You might as well tell her the reason why.
TOM: *sigh* Okay, yes, I thought about it. But the reason why is because of you.
JANNA: *scoffs* Gee, that's nice to hear.
TOM: No, I mean-
BOX: SILENCE! Thomas Draconius Lucitor here is the one who lied. Therefore, I SHALL ELIMINATE ALL OF YOU!
TOM: WHAT?!
ME: The Box of Truth turns into a diamond-shaped creature with two mouths and two eyes.
TOM: Well, looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.
BOX: PREPARE TO DIE!
ME: The floor starts to disappear like squares. Everyone tries to not fall in as they hop on each square.
JANNA: Tom!
ME: Tom turns and sees Janna holding onto the edge of one of the squares.
TOM: *gasps* Janna!
ME: Tom flies over to Janna as the Box of Truth hits her left hand, making it stop holding onto the square.
JANNA: Hurry up!
TOM: I'm coming!
KELLY: Tom!
TOM: Huh?
ME: Tom turns to see Kelly being strangled again by the box.
JACKIE: Hey!
TOM: Tom turns again to see Jackie and Eclipsa standing on one of the squares. The square they were standing on was starting to collapse. Tom was unsure about who he should save first.
TOM: Janna, do you think you could hold on a little longer?
JANNA: I doubt it! My fingers are starting to slip!
TOM: Hey, you! Stop!
ME: The Box of Truth turns to Tom as the squares stop cracking. One comes back up as the box lets go of Kelly. Fortunately, she lands on the square.
BOX: YOU!
TOM: Yeah, it's me! Listen, don't do this! They don't deserve it!
BOX: Lies are the most vicious beings that need to die! And since you lied, then you and your friends need to die!
TOM: Oh, yeah? Well, what about you? Have you ever lied before?
BOX: Of course not!
JACKIE: What was the first question you asked?
BOX: I asked Jackie Lynn Thomas what her deepest and darkest secret was.
TOM: Ha! Wrong! You asked me what my favorite movie was!
BOX: NO! I-I asked-UGH! Enough! Stop!
TOM: That was the second question! Now, what was the third question?
BOX: Uh, I, um, uh….
TOM: What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or is it a LIE that's got your tongue?
BOX: *screams*
ME: As the Box of Truth screams, the living room goes back to normal. The Box of Truth explodes all over the gang.
TOM: Oh, gross!
JANNA: Eh, whatever. *sigh* I'm going to bed. Tom, don't wait up.
TOM: Janna, wait!
ME: Janna goes upstairs as Tom runs after her.
ECLIPSA: Well, I think we better head off now. Bye, Tom! Bye, Janna!
JACKIE: Bye, guys!
KELLY: Bye!
ME: And so, they left. Janna was in her room, facing away from Tom.
TOM: Janna, please listen to me.
JANNA: Tom, why were you thinking about dumping me? Is…is it because I'm weird?
TOM: Huh?
JANNA: I mean, I think being weird is cool, but do you disagree or something? Did I do something?
TOM: Okay, this is you you're talking about. You've done many things.
JANNA: I-I know, but I mean…did I do something that, like, pushed your limit?
TOM: I was scared, okay?
JANNA: Wait, what?
TOM: I'm an immortal demon from the Underworld. You're a mortal human. You're gonna die WAY faster than me. So, I just thought, "How long of a future will Janna and I have together if she's not gonna live forever?"
JANNA: Wow, that's…deep.
TOM: So, there it is. It wasn't anything against you, you didn't do anything wrong, it was mortality vs. immortality. I was scared of losing you before the end of our journey.
JANNA: "Our journey"?
TOM: Well, yeah. I mean, maybe we'll get married one day, you know? And if that happens, that will be the start of our journey. *sigh* I'm sorry I didn't say anything.
ME: Janna puts her hands on Tom's shoulders and kisses him.
JANNA: While it's true you have a much bigger lifespan than I do, it doesn't mean our future together won't happen. It's still possible, you know?
TOM: R-Really? *blushes*
JANNA: *blushing* Really. Now, whaddaya say we clean ourselves up from that box monster?
TOM: *chuckles* Yeah, we look pretty gross.
JANNA: *chuckles* Come on, dork.
TOM: By the way, what should we do about the mess?
JANNA: "The mess"?
TALA: AY, DIOS MIO!
JANNA: *gasp* Mom!
ME: Tom and Janna run downstairs and see Tala staring at the mess in horror.
TALA: My HOUSE!
JANNA: Uh, *chuckles nervously* would you like some help?
TALA: *nods* Mm-hmm.
TOM: Well, let's get started.
ME: Tom grabs a broom from the kitchen and starts to sweep the pieces of the Box of Truth, Tala uses a kitchen sponge to scrub the walls, and Janna uses a vacuum to vacuum up the rest of the box.
The
End.
