Truth or Truth

"What happened to dare?" asked FOO! with a puzzled look on his face.

"Do you really want to be forced into doing something totally embarrassing to be laughed at by the world?" asked Turtle. "'Cause if so, we can certainly arrange something. . ."

"No!" said FOO! hurriedly. "I'll survive without the dare."

"Are you sure?" FOO! nodded. "Good. Now let us continue. This works sort of like Truth or Dare, but there's no dare. Somebody picks a person and asks them a question. The person has to answer. Then they pick somebody and so on and so forth. Any questions? Other than the ones we're about to ask each other thus making up the game?" There was silence. "Okee dokee then. Who wants to start?"

FOO! suddenly waved his arms and said, "I do! Rhee, does Monkey like me back?"

"No. Doctress, did you bring any marshmallows?"

"No. FOO!, why do you like Monkey?"

"Um . . . Because she's interesting?"

"That is the stupidest answer I have ever heard," said Turtle bluntly. "Now tell us the truth. Otherwise we'll have to change the name to Lies or Lies."

"That sounds like fun," said FOO! avoiding the subject completely. "Why not? We could all practice lying-"

"FOO!"

"-And since when has that been a bad thing?"

"FOO!"

"What?"

"Answer the question. Why do you like Monkey?"

"Oh. Well, she's funny and weird and yeah."

"Okee dokee then." Everyone was silent as they waited for FOO! to realize it was his turn. Finally Turtle informed him. "Um, dude, it's kind of your turn."

"Oh. Right. Rhee, why doesn't Monkey like me?"

"Because you act pathetic. Doctress, will you go get some marshmallows?"

"No. Turtle, where did you hide my matches?"

"In Turtle-Bot. FOO!, if Horse is a girl, how are you, her AP, a guy?"

"I dunno. We're just weird that way, I guess. Rhee, why do you want marshmallows?"

"Because they taste good. Turtle, where are the marshmallows?"

"On the fourth floor, in the kitchen-"

"There's a kitchen?" asked Rhee as her eyes lit up.

"Quite obviously. You must not have been paying attention."

"Well, that means that there is one thing to do about this . . ."

"And that would be?"

"Midnight snack raid!!!!!" Paprika, who had been climbing down the ladder was just in time to here that last comment.

"I want ice cream! Mint chocolate chip!" she shrieked happily.

"Okee dokee then. Followeth up the laddereth," Turtle said mystically.

They climbed up the ladders to the fourth floor where they found a kitchen complete with fridge, freezer, oven, and pantry.

"Diggeth inneth," spoketh Turtle. They all ran in different directions to search the kitchen for food. Paprika ran to the freezer to get her mint chocolate chip ice cream. Rhee ran to the pantry to find some marshmallows. FOO! ran to the fridge to look for pickles, and Turtle ran towards the oven to melt some caramel and milk chocolate to mix with her marshmallow cream. After a while they all sat down at the table with their chosen snacks and weapons of choice. Rhee and FOO! ate their pickles and marshmallows with their hands, while Paprika and Turtle ate their chosen messes with spoons.

All of a sudden, FOO! spoke. "What time is it?"

"How am I supposed to know?" said Turtle.

"Are we all going to talk in questions?" asked Rhee.

"Should we?" questioned Paprika.

"Und ya!" said Turtle. Everyone stared. "It's Swedish for duh."

"Oh."

After a while they all got tired and went to bed.
