Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show!
By Toadstool89
Chapter 14: The Power of Time Cards
Yoshi Island, Purple's Pad, 6:17 AM
Purple Yoshi glared at the clock. He was naturally a morning person, but he didn't usually wake up until 6:35. But he was wide awake now. He knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. And Toad Town Studios didn't open for another hour. What could he possibly do to pass the time? Then he remembered: time cards! Time cards could be used to speed up, slow down, fast forward, or even reverse time. Only a select few knew of their true power, and Purple was one of them. The others were Darrel and Toadstool…none of them had shared the secret with Orange Toadette yet. They probably never would. Not until they absolutely knew for sure that Orange could be trusted with so huge a secret. You never knew.
Purple picked up an old bingo card and wrote "1 Hour Later" on it with a sharpie. A split second later, an hour had passed.
"Well, time to go to the Office!" Purple jumped through the warp pipe in his bedroom.
Toad Town Studios, Toadstool's Awesome Office, 7:17 AM
Purple jumped out the warp pipe to find that Darrel and Orange Toadette were already there.
"Hey Purple, did you feel a rift in the space/time continuum?" asked Darrel.
"Yeah…that was my fault." Purple looked away from Darrel.
"Let me guess…you used a time card?" Darrel shook his head.
"A time what?" asked Orange.
Purple and Darrel paled. "Uh…Got any more guest requests?" asked Purple.
"Yeah, someone's coming in today. Said he comes from the world of…my little pony?" Orange paused for a second. "I wonder what planet that is…"
"No time to worry about that now," said Darrel, looking at his watch. "We have to get to the stage right now or we'll miss our window!"
Purple and Orange checked their watches. The trio ran to the stage area.
Toad Town Studios, Main Stage, 7:28 AM
"Thank goodness we got here on time!" exclaimed Orange. Darrel nodded in agreement.
"Where's the special guest?" asked Purple.
"Right here!" said a voice. A green pony popped out of the warp pipe. "My name is Comet Trail."
"Mind if I just call you Comet?" asked Purple.
"Sure," Comet replied. "So, what do you want me to do?"
Purple told him what to do. Comet nodded and walked into a corridor.
Purple sat back down in the host's chair. A minute later, the 'On Air' sign flashed green.
Purple smiled. "Hello, and welcome to Toadstool89's Truth or Dare Show! I'm Purple Yoshi, but everyone just calls me Purple. We're gonna do the same old, same old today. And we have a special guest to help us out. Please welcome…Comet Trail!"
Comet walked onto the stage and lay down beside the guest chair.
"Hello, Comet," said Purple. "Nice to have you on the show."
"Thank you for having me on the show," Comet replied with a smile. "What're we gonna do today?"
"The usual." Purple took out his tablet and handed it to Comet. "You pick the first one since you're the guest."
Comet studied his options. "Um…let's start with this one. We have a dare from Toadstool89 for…Luigi!"
"Okay," said Luigi.
"Toadstool dares you to be Mr. L for the rest of the chapter."
"Say what?!" Luigi exclaimed. A second later, he transformed into his dark alter ego, Mr. L.
Mr. L let a tiny evil grin appear on his face. He got up and jumped through an open window.
Purple shrugged as he read the tablet. "Next, we have a dare from bearvalley3365 for…Espio!"
Espio shrugged.
"Bear dares you to climb Mount Everest."
"What's Mount Everest?" asked Espio.
"It's a super tall mountain that's not easy to climb," Purple informed. "It's cold, too. Very cold. You might wanna bring a really heavy coat with you."
"You might also wanna bring some climbing gear," said Darrel.
Espio smiled. "Ninja don't need climbing gear." He jumped through the warp pipe to Mount Everest.
Comet took the tablet back from Purple. "Okay…We have a dare from the39cluesfreak156 for…Bowser!"
Bowser roared so loud he shook all of Toad Town Studios.
"Good God!" exclaimed the TToDS crew.
"Someone's cranky," Comet commented. "Anyway…" Comet whispered in Bowser's ear. "Clue dares you to burn Mario."
An evil grin appeared on Bowser's face. He faced Mario and basically set his entire body on fire.
"Somebody get the extinguisher!" Mario shouted as he ran around the room.
"I thought that was Toadstool's line," said Orange.
"It is," said Darrel as he used the extinguisher to put Mario out.
"Moving on!" Purple took the tablet back from Comet. "Okay, now we have a dare from bearvalley3365 for…Knuckles!"
"Let's go!" said Knuckles.
"Bear dares you to kiss a grizzly bear."
A gaint, brown grizzly bear appeared in front of Knuckles. Knuckles kissed it on the nose, and it started to attack him.
Peach looked like she wanted to faint, but she gathered her courage. She built up her wish power and used it to fling the grizzly bear far away.
"Thanks…" Knuckles moaned weakly.
Leafpool and Jayfeather immediately set to work on Knuckles.
"What a nice display of teamwork," Orange mused.
"We've got to hire an onstage doctor," Darrel said.
"We'll talk to Toadstool when she comes back," said Purple.
"Comes back?" everyone echoed.
Purple sweat dropped. "Uh, I mean…when she recovers," he said quickly.
Comet took the tablet back from Purple. "Alright, now we have a dare from bearvalley3365 for…Peach!"
"I'm ready," said Peach.
"Bear dares you to dress in a panda bear costume."
Peach looked slightly dumbfounded by this. She shrugged it off and put on a pink panda bear costume.
"Well, we're almost out of time, but let's do one truth before the show ends." Purple stared at the tablet for a few moments. "Okay, we have a truth from Corny354 for…Rosalina!"
"Ask away," said Rosalina.
"Corny asks…How come you show up in karting games but never any sporting games?"
Rosalina shrugged. "I guess I don't show up in sporting games because I can never keep my feet on the ground." Rosalina stared at her feet, which were a few inches off the ground (even though she was sitting). "Also, I'm not sure if Nintendo really sees a space girl as a 'sporty' type." Rosalina sighed.
"A through answer," Purple commented. "Well, that's all the time we have for today. See you next time on…"
