Chapter 2
Kanan's P.O.V
I was in my room meditating, until I heard a knock at my door. "Yeah?" I asked, still concentrating my mind on the force. "Can we speak, Kanan?" Hera asked through the door. I got up and opened the door.
"What's this about now?" I asked. Hera smirked as her response. "What's going on here?" I asked, showing her my smirk. "We're playing truth or dare in the common area, and Alex dared me earlier to get you and Zeb in the game." she responded. I sighed, partially not wanting to take part in this as much, but I wanted to after I gave some thought about it. Even in the old days before Order 66, the jedi never allowed us to play truth or dare, even with others from the order, and now I was ready to play this for the first time. "Fine. I'll play." I said, heading into the common area.
When I walked in there, Hera gave the others a thumbs up when Zeb and I entered behind her.
"Keep in mind, I'm only joining this game just to get revenge on you two lothrats for what both of you did to me." Zeb told Alex and Ezra. Even though we've known Alex for a good couple of month now since he joined us on the Ghost, I've never actually heard him be called a lothrat by either of us, except by Zeb earlier after I heard everything, and just now. Like Ezra, he was from Lothal after all. "Zeb, is this about what happened earlier?" I asked him. "Yes." he replied. "And before you ask how did I know, I sense things and I heard you chasing after Alex earlier." I informed him, taking a seat at the common area table.
"Okay, since you two just joined, who would like to go now?" Sabine inquired. Zeb and I faced each other, played rock paper scissors, in which he beat me by a rock, and then he was going to decide what happens next.
"Ezra, truth or dare?" Zeb asked him. "Truth." my padawan replied. "During your time on the streets, kid, how often were you showering?" "Not much really. Only every couple of weeks. It sucked, and I was smelly like a dog when I reached the later years before I met all of you." "Thank you for the truth, kid. Who's next?"
"I'll go." I said. "Zeb, truth or dare?" Zeb smirked, and then he said "dare." "After hearing everything between you and Alex from my room, I dare you to kick Alex in the nuts just as hard." "What!?" Alex responded to that. "Sorry, mate, but the dare's a dare." Zeb told him. "Now, get up, and face the wall with both of your hands behind your back." "Do I have to?" "Karabast. How many times do I have to tell you that a dare's a dare?" "Okay, fine. I'm getting up."
Alex did what he was told, me sensing fear from him though he didn't have the force. Zeb got behind him, and with one powerful kick, he kicked our other Lothalian member in the nuts really hard, Alex falling to the ground, groaning in pain. "Ha! That's what you get for earlier, lothrat!" Zeb exclaimed at him. Alex still lay there on the floor after the powerful kick, and when I offered to help walk him to the med bay to get some ice on the pain, he decided to keep on playing, and that he's had worse happen to him. I knew Alex well at this point that he's been through worse when he attended the martial arts academy back on Lothal, like him getting his arm broken one time when he was 13 from a student while sparring him for example. He'll make it, I just know it.
Alex sat back down, and then the next person was going to go.
"Alex, truth or dare?" Sabine asked. "Truth." Alex replied. "Just wondering about this. What black belt rank in your martial art were you specifically before your parents got taken away at 14, and before you met us?" "I was a first degree black belt at the time, almost ready to go for my second degree, but never got around to doing it because you all know what happened at this point in time." "Thanks, Alex."
"Sabine, truth or dare?" Ezra asked. "Truth." she replied. "Who do think is a better person to date? Me or Alex?" "Well, both of you are better in your own ways. But, I like Alex slightly more because he's slightly older though younger than me still, by a year specifically, more my type in some ways, I could practically go on for days. No offense, Ez. You're still a cool person and friend, both of you are, but this is just my preference." "At least I know now." Ezra's heart sank a little bit, but I had an idea to cheer him up later.
"Hera, truth or dare?" Zeb asked. "Dare." Hera replied. "I dare you to grab Kanan's lightsaber, set it to training mode, and swing it around everywhere until I tell you to stop." "What!? No, there is NO WAY that I'm giving her my lightsaber!" I said after that. "Kanan." Zeb said and gave me the "look." "Okay, fine. Here you go, Hera. It's set to training mode already." I handed her my lightsaber, she activated it, and started swinging it around everywhere, almost hitting all of us at multiple points. "Stop now." Zeb told her. "Thanks for the saber, Kanan." Hera teased after she gave it back to me, me clipping it onto my belt. I sighed, and then I was told by Zeb that it was my turn.
"Sabine, truth or dare?" I asked. "Dare." she answered. "I dare you to kiss Ezra, tell him that you love him, and then keep on kissing him until you need to breathe." Sabine's face went bright red, but this was all my idea on how to cheer my padawan up after earlier. She did what she was told to do. "I love you." we heard Sabine say, and then she continued making out with Ezra. They broke apart after literally five minutes, in which Sabine's face was not bright red anymore. "Ez, your turn." she said.
"Alex, truth or dare?" he asked him. "Dare." Alex replied. "I dare you to sing a song." "Ezra, you know that I'm bad at singing! Besides, you and Sabine have seen me sing before and both of you clearly knew that I was a bad singer." "A dare's a dare, Alex. And we won't judge you." "Promise?" We all nodded. "Good."(I do not own the song)
"You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancing and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shouting, you keep on shouting
I wanna rock and roll all night and party everyday (4x)
You keep on saying you'll be mine for a while
You're looking fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You show us everything you've got
Baby, baby that's quite a lot
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shouting, you keep on shouting
I wanna rock and roll all night and party everyday (11x)
I wanna rock and roll all night"
"So?" Alex asked after he ended his song. "Pretty good actually." Hera said, all of us giving him a round of applause for that one. "At least you all didn't judge me harshly." "Told ya so." Ezra replied.
"Who wants to go next?"
