I don't own nothin' 'cept a pick-'em-up truck and some clothes and a computer, so I don't get paid to write this stuff. I just enjoy throwing these little vignettes out to you.

Truth or Dare
Chapter 4
Epilogue
Xxxxxx
Tori Vega, Jade West and Cat Valentine all got a part in the play Hair that the school put on. Cat had even suggested that the entire play be done in the buff, which Sikowitz and the higher-up considered before agreeing with the petite redhead. The main reason they agreed was that it would save a lot of money for creating and making all of the costumes that would be needed for the production. (But they turned down Cat's other suggestion of letting the cast get used to being in the buff by letting them attend school totally naked.)
For some reason they wouldn't talk about, Beck Oliver and Robbie Shapiro didn't try out for the musical. Remembering Cat's description of playing 'Pirates' with Robbie, the girls had a fairly good idea why he didn't want to audition, and Jade let the other two girls in on another 'small' reason why she and Beck had broken up.
André Harris only said that he wanted to be put in charge of the music, and had no desire to act at that time.
The play was such a huge success that it was decided that extra shows had to be added to meet the demands for tickets.
Mason Thornesmith attended one of the final shows and, after it had ended, immediately showed up backstage and profoundly apologized to Tori for not signing her to a contract right after the Platinum Music Awards had ended.
When Tori asked Mason why he was showing up now, almost a year after she'd performed on the PMAs, he told her that he could use her nakedness to promote her first album; That after the album was ready, he would have her walk down Hollywood Boulevard in the nude while selling her album; And when she got arrested for indecent exposure, it would cause a big uproar and sales would skyrocket, especially if she did the same thing in New York, Miami, Chicago and all of the other big cities.
Tori slyly smiled as she turned Mason down, saying she had no desire to be used like that to sell her songs. And besides, she'd already signed with a different label when the Executive Producer approached her after the first show and mentioned he had seen her on the PMAs.
When Mason turned to Jade with the same offer, she simply shook her head and said she had signed with the other label, too, and so had Cat.
All Mason Thornesmith could do was angrily storm out of the building.

Author's End Notes: There you go Toys and Squirrels... er-um... Boys and Girls, another off kilter story from me.
As I mentioned in the first chapter disclaimer, I'm not sure if there is a T or D app for adults. (Especially since I haven't stepped a virtual foot inside an app store because I don't own a cellphone.) I got the list of truths and dares from a few different web sites, so they are out there.
The idea of Hollywood Arts putting on a nude musical may seem far fetched, but I believe it could be done despite the fact that most, if not all, of the actors would be underage. Naked minors are perfectly okay as long as there's nothing sexual about the situation and it's done in a proper environment.
The two original stage productions are fairly well known for their nudity, and as Sikowitz said, the school is there to challenge the students. Subsequent productions may not have included the nudity, so if you've seen one and there were no bare bodies, there you go.
