A/N: Lookie! Another update-age for me! YAY! Well, now onto the chapter (which is probably going to suck major-ly. Well, this chapter is dedicated to Liams Kitten's Dutchy!Muse in the hope that it will make him stop putting the 'h' word down his pants...

One Long Night

Chapter 12

"Skittery, Truth or Dare, my dear?" Snoddy asked as Skittery glared at him.

"Never call me "my dear", Dearest Medda. Or else I will be forced to shove your dress and the boy wearing your dress up your..." Skittery began before Snitch put a hand over his mouth. Skittery kept mumbling although no one could hear what he was saying.

Race laughed, "Hasn't Skittery already HAD a dare?"

Everyone but Blink nodded.

Blink smiled, "No, he only dared Mush to do something, he hasn't taken a dare yet."

Snitch moved his hand from Skittery's mouth, "...mother of a flea on a cow's hind leg..." Snitch put his hand back over Skitt's mouth as the mumbling continued.

Snoddy looked over to Skittery before batting his eyelashes, "Vould vou like a truth or a dare?"

Snitch moved his hand once more, "Dare, you f..." Skittery was cut off by Snitch's hand again.

"Itey laughed because Snitch would now have to wash his hand because of all the rubbish on it, in accordance to the prophecy."

"I, Medda, dare vou to be an optimist for a day." Snoddy said in his still, very fake Swedish accent.

Skittery blinked as he removed Snitch's hand, "I hafta be a what?"

Snoddy smiled as he looked over to David for the definition, "An Optimist, one who believes that good ultimately prevails over evil; one with the tendency to take the most hopeful view of matter."

"Or, one who is not Skittery." Snipeshooter added as walked out of the room, "I hafta go unlock Kloppman's door."

Skittery looked over to Snoddy, "Look on the bright side, friend, I can't hit a girl," he hissed.

"Itey looked over to his friend, 'Try to act a little more happy while you're trying to be an optimist, who knows you might enjoy it' in accordance to the prophecy."

Race smiled, "I guess I can't call ya glum and dumb for the next day can I?"

Skittery glared, "Now, I get to dare someone again..."

Mush grinned as he looked over to Blink, "At least he can't dare me again."

Skittery smiled before kissing Snitch, "No, Mush, I owe you too much now to be mean to you, how ever, we do have a certain young boy hear who I'd love to dare. Boots, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Boots said, smiling slightly.

"How'd ya get the name Boots?" Skittery asked.

Mush grinned, "That's easy though, Skitts, he's always wearing boots."

"Itey looked over to his stupid friend, for Boots had never worn boots anymore than any of the other newsies did. In accordance to the prophecy."

Boots looked down at his feet, which didn't have boots on them, "Well, you see when I was little I only let my mom tell me one story... So I was kinda named after that one story's main character..."

"And what was that story, Dear boy?" Snoddy asked trying to hide from Skittery.

"Puss in Boots..." Boots said before looking at the ground.

"Itey began to laugh, 'You were named after a made up cat?' he said in accordance to the prophecy."

A/N: Okay, I know that it's a really short chapter, but I promise that the next one will be a lot longer. I just figured that I should update when I felt like updating...
