Strange Dares

Daisy looked around, trying to pick out her victim. A sly smirk crept across her face as he gaze paused on Kenny.

"Oh Kenny, Truth or Dare?"

"...dare..." Kenny sounded extremely meek.

"I dare you to...put as much whipped cream in your mouth as you can and then tell your darkest secret."

"...m...my darkest secret?"

"Yeah, your mouth will be stuffed so its not like anyone could understand it."

"Can I back out?"

Lily sighed... "Yeah. But here's a couple of rules I forgot to mention earlier. You only get to back out a dare once, and if there's a group dare, no one can back out." She was not aware of the hell she had just signed herself up for.

Kenny paused. "Where's the whipped cream?"

Lily got off her seat on the floor and walked into one of the doors. Kenny drew his knees to his chest as best he could and stared at them. Lily soon returned with the whipped cream and handed the can to Kenny. She smiled at him sympathetically, but then smirked evilly at him as she sat down again. "Do it Kenny."

In a few minutes Kenny's mouth had been filled with half a can of whipped cream. He tried to say, "I'm afraid of ghosts." But it came out extremely distorted and the whipped cream fell out of his mouth after he finished. He flushed as the slimy mob of white fell onto the rubber mat.

Lily just tossed him a damp cloth and a bowl. "I had a feeling that might happen with that dare."

After the mess had been cleaned up, Kenny looked around the room. "Max, Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"If you were to go out on a date with anyone in this room, who would it be?"

Max decided that he preferred to talk to his knees for his answer. "Mariam."

Mariam stared at Max, maybe she shouldn't have been so surprised at his answer, but she was. Max wasted no time in choosing his next victim. "Lily, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Did you have a crush on anyone? If no, say no, if yes you have to say the name."

Lily smirked inwardly at his wording, did implied the past and she no longer felt that way about a person, do would mean right now. She would have to be a literalist, she didn't know how...Kai...would react if she said his name. "No."

Kai stared at her for only a second, full disappoint showing in his eyes for that amount of time. He hoped nobody noticed, but everyone except Lily noticed; she was way too busy staring at the ground to see it.

"Tyson, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to do five push-ups with Hillary on your back."

"What?"

"She can't be that heavy, besides, aren't you always bragging about how strong you are? Prove it. Unless you're weak."

That was a challenge Tyson's ego couldn't refuse. "Come on Hillary. I want to get this over with." Hillary sighed and somewhat reluctantly sat on Tyson's back as he got ready to do the push-ups.

"Start." Lily crossed her arms and smirked, this she had to see.

Tyson did one pushup, then two, on three he had a little trouble getting back up, but he managed, four was a bit more difficult. After five he flopped face first onto the ground. Hillary toppled off him, blushing furiously. Everyone else in the room was either laughing or chuckling. Kai and Lily were the only silent ones, smirking.

Tyson sat up, a little out of breath. "Kai...truth...or...dare?"

"Dare."

"I...dare you to...do a jig around the room...then kiss Lily on the lips."

Lily looked over to Tyson in disbelief.

"What...?" Kai also wasn't quite sure he had heard correctly.

"You heard."

Kai looked over to Lily, who shrugged. "Your choice, do it or don't. But remember, you only get to back out of a dare once." She glared at Tyson however.

Kai weighed his options, make a fool of himself on camera, and have a yellow streak in his hair for as long as it took for the dye to come out and risk other total embarrassment; or completely embarrass himself once and save his chicken for a more humiliating dare. He didn't like either option all that much, so he took sometime thinking.

"Come on Kai." Tyson was getting impatient, Kai finally made up his mind. He stood up and started to do a jig, slowly making his way around the room. Lily would have been smirking or snickering watching Kai do this, but she was preoccupied with other matters. She had turned to watch Kai and get the best amusement out of this dare that she could.

Kai finally finished his jig in front of Lily, landing the last part on the bouncy ball for

Daisy's earlier dare. Instead of falling backwards, as one might have expected to, he pitched forwards, landing on top of Lily.

Kai managed to stop his forward momentum, when his face was mere inches away from Lily's. This was an interesting development for the rest to watch, all forms of smiles and smirks having crossed their faces.

Lily refrained from sighing. This was rather annoying. She would have crossed her arms, but given her current position she would have wound up hugging Kai. Not something she would like to do right now.

"Kai, you get three choices. Either finish the dare and get off me, get off me and then finish the dare, or get off me and don't finish the dare at all. But staying in this position isn't an option."

Kai carefully considered his three choices in about half a second. He let his head follow the rule of gravity, lips gently meeting with hers and sharply brought his head up. Soon, after finishing the first of his choices, the smallest hint of a blush tinted his cheeks, same coloration having decided to paint Lily's as well.

Lily shoved herself off the floor once Kai was off, sending very dark glares at everyone in the room. Her gaze stopped once it reached the stairwell. Instead of a dark glare, her eyes widened, frown being lost.

"Oh...hey...dad." 'crap, did he just see that?'

In the staircase was the only person that could be called Lily's father. He wore hiking boots like his daughter, or maybe it was daughter dressing like father, and a pair of jeans. He wore a semi-formal shirt and a slack tie. His eyes were green and he had short, spiky brown hair. Those green oculars of his were amused, perhaps at the situation or perhaps

at his daughter's expression.

"Hi. May I ask what's going on?"

"Urg...a game of truth or dare..."

"Oh." He understood he had been a teen of the same attitude of Lily when he was her age.

"Hey, Dad, did you have a reason for coming down here?"

"Just wanted to see how you and your friends were doing."

"We're fine."

Mr. Hirotome nodded and left up the stairs.

Silence crept around the room. After a few moments Kai spoke up.

"Salima, truth or dare?"

Salima stared at Kai, given his last dare, it might be wiser to do a truth. And that's what

she chose.

Kai had to think of something, so he thought. In a few minutes he had a sufficiently embarrassing truth. "If you were to kiss anyone in this room, who would it be?"

Salima blinked, maybe truth wasn't the safest, but she didn't want to back into a dare.

"..."

"What was that?"

"...Rei..." She was very quiet in her response, but not so much as to be inaudible.

Rei blinked, somehow he wasn't angry or anything to hear that. Actually, to put a name on the emotion he was feeling at that moment it would have been happy or pleased.

"Hillary, Truth or Dare?"

Hillary took a few minutes in her decision. She finally came up with a decisive sounding dare, but she was kinda nervous, I mean Lily, Daisy and Salima had all been friends once. So there was a good reason to be nervous with the things Daisy and Lily had done already.

Salima pondered 'so she chose dare...hrm...oh! I got it!' "Lily, do you still have your pet frog...?"

Lily smirked, only one way this could turn out, she had used something similar on the red head a few years back. "Yes. Why?"

"Just get it."

Lily jumped up and skipped to the staircase and went up it, almost breaking into fits of laughter. 'better get a camera.'

Back down in the room everyone was staring down at Salima questioningly.

"Hillary, this is how your dare works. Lily will bring her frog down here, and then you have to kiss it, anyway you please."

Hillary's eyes widened in horror, a look of disgust plastering itself on her face. "I HAVE TO DO WHAT!"

At that moment Salima was cut off by Lily coming down the stairs. Lily looked to be slightly flustered, probably because of the fact that she was carrying a large aquarium, about her body's width in width, with a bit of water in it. There was a rock and on it was a frog.

Lily cleared a spot on the table somehow and placed the aquarium on it. She pulled the frog out of it, and walked over to Hillary and handed her the frog.

"Here ya go, Hillary. Do your dare."

Kenny's dare- Thiaf

I can't remember who but Tyson's dare was suggested in a review for the older version of this story.
