Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show!
By Toadstool89
Chapter 8: Still More Dares!
Toad Town Studios, Toadstool's Awesome Office, 7:16 AM
Toadstool tapped across her Android tablet fiercely. Then she suddenly stopped and pumped her fist in the air. "Yes! New high score!"
"On what?" Darrel asked.
"Fruit Ninja," Toadstool replied happily.
"I like fruit!" exclaimed Purple Yoshi hungrily. "You got fruit on your tablet?"
Toadstool sighed. "You don't get modern Earth tech, do you?" she asked Purple.
"All I heard was blah, blah, blah, fruit..." Purple sighed, daydreaming of fruit.
"I dunno if you're even listening," Toadstool began. "But Fruit Ninja is a game where you're a...fruit-slicing ninja."
"Fruit!" exclaimed Purple.
"No! Dude, I don't have any—"
"FRUIT!" Purple ran out the Office.
Toadstool sweat dropped. "Oh, boy..."
"I guess he likes fruit," said Darrel.
"Did you know I have an alternate form?" Toadstool asked, wanting to get off the subject of fruit.
"No," Darrel replied. "You've never mentioned it."
"It's my dark form," Toadstool explained. "But I don't get to use it often. It takes 10 Ztars to transform, and I only have like two in my possession."
"So, what're you gonna do about the other eight?" asked Darrel.
"Um...I dunno yet." Toadstool shrugged.
"How many times have you used your dark form?" Darrel inquired.
"Only twice, and both times were bad." Toadstool shuddered as things she hadn't thought of in a long time reentered her mind. "The first time I used it, I went on an evil rampage and destroyed everything in my path. The second time I used it, I was in better control, but I still pretty much destroyed everything."
"So the next time you use it..." Darrel began.
"I'll be in full control," Toadstool finished. "I'll be able to do whatever with my dark powers without turning evil or going on a rampage or anything like that."
Darrel was a little disturbed by the revelation of Toadstool's dark power. "Are you gonna tell all this to Purple?"
"Well, yeah...once he stops talking about fruit." Toadstool checked the time. "Let's go to the stage."
Toad Town Studios, Main Stage, 7:28 AM
"Hey!" Toadstool called to the competitors. "Has anyone seen Purple Yoshi?"
Cream stood up shakily. "He scared me!" she exclaimed in fright. "He came in here yelling "FRUIT! FRUIT! I NEED MY FRUIT!" and then he gave us this to give to you!" Cream handed Toadstool a sticky note.
The sticky note said "Went to raid fruit market. –Purple Yoshi"
Toadstool face palmed. "Are all Yoshis this crazy about fruit?" she asked no one in particular.
"Yes," Luigi replied. "Mario's friend, a green Yoshi, can't get enough of it."
"Toadstool?" Darrel called. "We're about to go live."
"We have to wait for Purple! Or maybe..." She turned toward the competitors. "Does anyone here know how to operate a sound effects machine?"
"I'm pretty sure I could figure it out," Tails volunteered. "But in exchange, I want your tablet so I can pull it apart and study its contents."
Toadstool considered his offer. "How about, instead of pulling mine apart, I go to Earth and get you one from Wal-Mart?"
"Do you really have that kind of money?" asked Darrel.
Toadstool sighed. "If you're absolutely sure you can give this back in one piece with all the data still on it, we've got a deal. Oh, and if you can somehow make it fire lasers..."
Tails pondered her offer. "Okay, it's a deal! I can't make any promises about the lasers, though."
"Works for me!" Toadstool and Tails shook hands.
"Going live in five..." Darrel warned. "Four..."
Toadstool jumped into her seat.
"Three..."
Tails stared at the control panel, trying to figure out which button was which.
"Two..." Darrel pointed at Toadstool. The show was a-go.
"Hello, and welcome to another epic episode of Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show! I'm Toadstool Eighty Nine, but you can...you all know by now. With me, as always, everyone! Well, except Mario, Viper, Knuckles, and Flora...they went off to rescue Princess Peach. They probably won't be back until the next episode." Toadstool took a deep breath. "Oh man, that was a lot...Anyway, on with the truthing and the daring!"
"You sound like Fawful," Bowser mumbled with a hint (well...more than a hint) of anger in his voice.
Toadstool shrugged and turned on her smart phone. "Okay, first dare of the day! We have a dare from dragon19kyoshi for...Luigi!"
"Huh?" Luigi looked up from the book he was reading (Plumber's Digest).
"Dragon dares you to drive around your mansion in a stroller."
"How the heck am I supposed to do that?" asked Luigi.
"I dunno. Figure it out." Toadstool rolled a green stroller towards Luigi. It ran into him and both the stroller and Luigi fell through the warp pipe to Luigi's Mansion (the DS version, to be precise).
"We'll check on him later," Toadstool decided. "Okay, next we have a dare from me for...Stella!"
Stella looked up from the fashion magazine she was reading.
"Stella, I dare you to use the power of the sun's rays to burn Jayfeather's stick. Oh, that reminds me! Before you do that, let's check in with Leafpool." Toadstool activated her microchip headset. "Toadstool to Leafpool. Do you copy?"
"Loud and clear," Leafpool replied from WindClan territory. "How much longer before this nightmare dare is over?"
"I'll bring you back from WindClan next episode," Toadstool replied.
"Thank StarClan," Leafpool sighed. "I'm tired of these rabbit eaters..."
"Eek!" Cream ran out the room.
"...always nagging me about my children and what happened between me and Crowfeather," Leafpool finished. "Breezepelt's been giving me the hardest time of all."
Toadstool sighed. "I got three words for you, Leafpool: Use...the...tazer." Toadstool cut the connection. "Okay," she said, turning to Stella. "Do your sun thing!"
Jayfeather's stick magically appeared in front of Stella. Using her powers, she bent one of the sun's rays to the stick and intensified the ray, instantly incinerating the stick.
"NO!" yelled Jayfeather. "My stick!" Everyone ignored him.
"We'll do one more before we check on Luigi." Toadstool checked her smart phone again. "Okay, now we have a dare from ChelseaSienaJoshephineCassandra for...Sonic!"
Sonic didn't react at all to the news.
Toadstool snapped her fingers a couple of times. "Earth to Sonic!" she shouted.
Sonic jumped. "Oh, sorry, I didn't hear you 'cause I was staring up into space."
"Whatever. Okay, Sonic, here's the deal. I have a chili dog." Toadstool held up a chili dog chew toy. "Do you want it?"
"Yeah, I do!" Sonic smiled.
"Then go stand in that conveniently placed deep puddle for two hours." Toadstool pointed to a deep puddle that had popped up out of nowhere.
Sonic's fear of water took over and he dashed to the other side of the room.
"So...you don't want the chili dog? Alright, then." Toadstool began to slowly move the chew toy chili dog to her lips.
"That chili dog is mine!" Sonic dived into the deep puddle (which was deep enough so that his face was above water and his body was under it).
"I'll let you know when two hours is up," said Toadstool. "Now, let's check in with Luigi." She activated her microchip. "Toadstool to Luigi. How's the stroller thing coming along?"
"Better than I thought it would," Luigi replied from his microchip. "This thing rolls around quite easily, and I'll be back in the studio as soon as I finish my third lap. But..." Luigi hesitated. "I think I'm being followed..."
"Of course you're being followed," Toadstool pointed out. "Boos are total stalkers."
"Hey!" shouted a Boo who was listening in on the conversation. "Boos are not stalkers!"
"You guys follow someone when they're not looking, and you hide when they are looking," said Toadstool. "What do you call that?"
"Um...stalking?" the Boo guessed.
"Yes." Toadstool cut the connection.
"Has it been two hours yet?" asked Sonic.
"Close—two minutes," Tails confirmed. Sonic groaned.
There was a long silence after that.
"So...is this the end of the episode?" asked Tails, breaking the silence.
"No. Well, yes, but we have to wait for Luigi to get back, and then we have to wait for Sonic's two hour dare to be over. In other words, this is gonna be a loooooong episode. But...I guess we can cram a truth or two in if I have any." Toadstool checked her smart phone. "Let's see...I have one truth question from yours truly for...Toad!"
Toad blinked. "Alright, then."
"The question is...Is Toadette your girlfriend or your sister?"
Toad stared at Toadstool like "What the bleep?"
"What? Nintendo never confirmed it," said Toadstool.
"Toadette's not my girlfriend or my sister...she's my cousin!" said Toad. "Not to mention she's my next door neighbor." Toad paused. "Well, actually she's across the street from me. But yeah..."
Now Toadstool was staring at Toad like "What the bleep?"
There was another long silence. It was broken by the sound of someone exiting a warp pipe.
"I'm back!" Luigi sat back down. "I had a pretty good drive, too. A few bruises, but I'm..." He stopped mid-sentence. Everyone had fallen asleep. Except for Sonic...he was still standing in the deep puddle.
Luigi walked over to the puddle and whispered, "Why is everyone asleep?"
"They're waiting for my dare to end," Sonic whispered back. "That Darrel guy set an alarm."
"Well, I don't wanna disturb them," said Luigi. Then he yawned. "And I'm getting pretty tired myself." He sat back down in his chair and fell asleep.
One hour later...
A super loud annoying alarm buzzed through the room, waking everyone up. Amy got up and smashed the alarm clock with her hammer.
"You know," said Tails, still rubbing sleep from his eyes, "you could've just pressed the 'snooze' button."
"Whatever." Amy sat back down.
On the floor, Toadstool yawned and got up. "I did it!" she shouted and pumped her fist in the air.
"Did what? Slept without a nightlight?" Darrel asked sarcastically.
Toadstool punched him in the arm. "No, idiot! I finally defeated the Dragon of Doom! ...you know, that dragon from that dream I told you about?"
"Oh, yeah...that dragon." Darrel yawned. "Congratulations, dude."
"Thanks." Toadstool turned towards Sonic. "Okay, you did it. Come get your chili dog." She snickered.
"Yes!" Sonic pumped his fist in the air. "I may have gotten pruny, but this chili dog is worth it." He tried to take a bite out of it. It...squeaked.
"What the (bleep)?" Sonic was furious. Everyone else was rolling on the floor, laughing.
Toadstool sighed. "That was awesome. Well, see you next time on..."
"Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show!" everyone else (except Sonic) chimed.
