Togue Fluff
chapter 2 Egads! Another Truth or Dare Story!
Rogue lounged on Todd's bed. Todd's arm curled around her shoulders. Friday night, and they
had the Boarding House all to themselves.
"Todd," said Rogue, stroking his hair. "Truth or Dare?"
Todd thought for a minute. He remembered an episode of /South Park/ that desribed how to
successfully play the game. Start with three truths and then say 'dare' as smoothly as possible.
He hoped Rogue wasn't as nasty as Wendy Testaburger. "Truth."
"You ever use your tongue to-you know-pleasure yourself?"
"Huh?"
"Let me put it to you this way. Two men are walking down a street when they see a dog licking
its balls. The first man says 'Gee, I wish I could do that!' The second man says 'Maybe you should
pet him first.'"
"Oh. OH!" His eyes got big at the suggestion. "I've-uh-never thought about it to tell the
truth. I mean, it's one thing to take things into your own hands, but, there's just some things
even I don't wanna taste. Your turn, Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Damn, she's seen that eppy too. "Umm...What's your full name?"
"That's the best you can come up with? OK, my full name is Marie Antoinette Rogers."
"Your name is Marie Antoinette?"
"I don't know why Mama wanted to name me that. Guess she just liked French history or something."
"Hey, maybe you can wear a powdered wig and a puffy dress!"
"No."
"Let them eat cake!"
"She didn't really say that, y'know. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"OK, what's /your/ full name?"
"Todd cough cough Tolensky."
"I don't think I heard that second name right."
"Ichabod."
"Like the guy from /The Legend of Sleepy Hollow/?"
"I guess. I don't know where Mom got that name from. I'm pretty sure I was named after
Todd Rundgren. She had a lot of his records and we have the same birthday. Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"Let me tickle you."
"OK," she said nervously. Todd knew she had a few spots that are very sensitive even
through clothes. He reached under her arm and flicked at her pits. He teased his other hand
against her ribs. She trembled with peals of laughter. Todd loved that sound. Her laugh was like
music. She told him she had enough and he stopped. "Truth or dare?"
Let's see, I did 2 truths, I gotta do one more. "Truth."
"Were you glad I was your first?"
She wasn't my first. Just the first I took willingly. I won't bring that up. She knows all
about it. "Yeah. I'm very glad. Truth or dare?"
The door slamed open downstairs. They heard Pietro and Lance argue, but paid no attention
to it. "Truth."
"Are you glad I was your first?"
"Extremely. Truth or Dare?"
"Dare..." He said it as cooly as possible.
"Go downstairs and ask Pietro out on a date."
"WHAT!?"
"You don't have to go through with it. Just tell Pietro it's over between you and me and
you want ot take the time to- experiment. Take him to the kitchen. There's a heating grate here
where I can hear everything you say."
"You owe me one."
Todd went downstairs. Pietro was already in the kitchen, slapping together a sandwich,
muttering something under his breath. Todd hopped closer. He heard Pietro calling Lance a "lousy
self-centered bastard." Todd gulped and hopped forward.
"Uh, hi, Pietro, how's it going?"
"What do you want?" he snapped.
Yipe. "Well, uh, it's like this, Quickie. Me and Rogue decided to-uh-see other people."
"And I suppose you want me to find some poor desperate girl who would agree to go out with
you?"
"Um, no, ya see, I-uh...willyougooutwithme?"
"When did you start talking like me?"
"I said I want to go out with you, OK?"
"Like on a date?" Todd blushed and nodded. Marie, you're gonna get it. Now comes the part
where Pete laughs at me. "Well, there is this nice French place I've been wanting to try. I don't
mind going dutch. Then there's this place I've heard of where we can go dancing without being
looked at funny. You got a fake ID? We can probably get a coupla drinks."
Whoa! Whoa! "Uh, Pietro, I was just kidding."
"Kidding?"
"Yeah, Rogue and I were playing Truth or Dare and she dared me to ask you out."
"Well, I knew that! I knew this had to be part of some infantile game you were playing. It's
what I've come to expect from the likes of you."
"Good. Cuz, you had me scared a moment. Me and you-dating!" He laughed.
Pietro chuckled and took his sandwich. "Never happening. Now, if you excuse me, I'd like
to be alone with Oscar Meyer." Pietro sped up the stairs and into his room. He closed the door.
He tossed the sandwich in the waste basket. He just wasn't hungry anymore. He threw himself
down on the bed and wept. "Oh, Todd, why must you toy with my heart?"
Author's note:
Surprise ending! OK, to tell the truth, I don't think Pietro is really gay. He's too in love
with himself. I've noticed there are a lot of X Evo stories centered around the characters
playing Truth or Dare. Ever since the X-Men movie came out, people have accepted Rogue's name
being Marie as cannon. I gave her a middle and last name. You like? Marie Antoinette may not
have said "Let them eat cake" but she did have a lavish collection of diamonds and kept perfumed
sheep as pets. As for Ichabod, I just wanted a name that sounded silly and started with I.
(My sincere appologies to anyone who has the name Ichabod.) Think about what his intitials would
spell out.
