Truth or Dare? (Robin's POV again)
"So dudes, any idea watcha wanna do today?" asked Beast Boy, lounging on the couch. Lunch was just finished (Raven cooked up some really nasty herbal stuff with what looked like dried spiders inside...yuck) "Robin?" "Huh?" I answered, startled out of my reverie about pizzas and hamburgers and the million other things I could have had for lunch. Beast Boy chuckled. "Dude, did Raven's soup make your brains wanna hibernate?" Seeing that I was blur, he said, " Why don't we have a game of truth or dare?" I considered this. It was a boring afternoon, we had nothing to do, it looked like Slade was on a holiday as there had been no trouble in Jump City for the past two days, plus Speedy, Aqualad and The HIVE group were paying us a visit today. "Sure!" I agreed. Cyborg looked up from the car magazine he had been perusing. "Great idea, and look who's here!" he said, as the doorbell rang, right on cue. In trooped in Aqualad, Speedy, Gizmo, Mammoth, Jinx and Bumblebee.
"Yo wussup!" cried Aqualad, banging open the door. "BB, what's new lil guy?" "Game of truth or dare, wanna play?" responded BB. "Sure, just hope you can handle my dares, green guy? " he joked, flopping down on the couch. "Can we play too?" asked Bumblebee hopefully. "Come join in the fun," I responded. We all sat in a ring, me next to Star and BB. "Okay, who starts first?" asked Gizmo. "Why don't we say youngest first?" said Cyborg slyly. Gizmo scowled at him then asked, "Jinx, truth or dare?" "Dare," she responded promptly. "Hmmm…I dare you to run around this room, whooping like a monkey," he said, grinning. She got up, then ran around the room, "Oooh oooh ahh ahh," she cried, running around the place. Gizmo collapsed, laughing. The rest of us cracked up too, she looked so funny. "Okay," she said, after she sat down again. "Raven, truth or dare?" "Truth," she answered, sounding really bored. "Who do you like?" asked Jinx eagerly. Raven turned purple. "I...I...no one," she said, stuttering. "Are you sure?" cooed Jinx. Raven scowled. "Positive," she said, but I could see that she was lying. The red blush on her cheeks told me the answer. Funny, she kept on glancing at BB while Jinx was questioning her. Oh, heck! None of my business I suppose.
"Speedy, your turn," she said, a faint blush still noticeable on her cheeks. "Truth or dare?" "Dare," he said. "Dare you to sing a song while pretending to strum on one of your arrows," she said, smiling. Wow, no idea Raven actually had a sense of humour! He got up, clutching one of his arrows. "Oh Susanna, now don't you cry for me, Oh I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee!" he yelled, strumming on his "guitar" and jigging around. Aqualad whistled, BB laughed till he cried and the rest of us were clutching stitches in our sides. Speedy's singing is terrible, he sings totally out of tune and he sounds like a crow trying to sing like a nightingale!
He got back to his seat, then turned to Star. "Star, truth or dare?" "Truth," she said. Looks like she's afraid of a dare like Speedy's! "Okay…do you like Robin?" he asked, his eyes gleaming. She looks stunned. I feel myself grow very hot. Would she say yes? No?…what would she say? "Yeah, I'd like to know that myself too," said Aqualad, grinning at me. I responded with a cold stare. My heart was beating madly. I could feel everyone stealing glances at me. I bowed my head in anticipation. Even Raven looked curious. I heard the answer, "No,". I felt my heart sink to my toes. She didn't like me…She said no…She never had any feelings for me all along…"Awww…"said Aqualad, looking disappointed. "Too bad chap. Better luck next time!" he said, winking at me. I scowled at him. Annoying brat! I became conscious of everyone looking at me again, so I forced myself to look cool, calm and unaffected. Inside, my heart was painfully breaking into bits.
The rest of the game passed in a blur. I was only conscious of one thought…Starfire doesn't like me...There's no hope for both of us now…
