NINJAGO: Truth or Dare
Chapter Six
"Okay," Lloyd said, "A truth for Kai: When was the last time you sang and danced?"
Kai thought for a moment. "A few days ago, actually," he replied.
"Really?" Lloyd asked.
Kai nodded. "It was when you all went grocery shopping. I stayed home so I could pretend to be a rock star. You'd be surprised by how much I do that."
Zane chuckled. "Well, you do have the rockstar hair," he remarked.
Kai pretended to flip his spiky hair. "I do, don't I?" He chose a challenge. "Truth or dare, Cole?"
"How about a truth this time," Cole answered.
"Just kidding!" Kai said. "You don't get to choose. This is a dare. It says you have to drink a whole carton of day-old sour milk!"
Cole sighed. "Seriously, why do I keep getting the disgusting ones?"
"At least you're not getting the awkward ones," Nya said.
Cole stared at her. "I had to kiss Jay's poop!"
"I had to kiss you," she countered.
The others laughed.
Cole ignored them and made his way to the kitchen, where he grabbed a carton of expired milk.
"Don't ask why I have this," he told his friends. "But let's just say I may have to find another way to prank Jay."
The blue ninja rolled his eyes but kept quiet. Cole opened the carton and took a drink.
"Yuck!" He complained. "This is nasty!" He plugged his nose and took another drink. Before long, he had guzzled down the entire carton.
The other ninja clapped as their teammate finished. The earth ninja immediately tossed the empty carton and bolted over to the sink, quickly washing his mouth out before rejoining the others in the living room.
"Vengeance!" Cole said as he read the next challenge. "Kai, go a day without styling your hair."
Kai shook his head. "No can do," he argued. "I need my gel!"
Lloyd tilted his head. "Do you give up?" He teased.
The red ninja sighed. "Fine. I'll do it."
He went to the bathroom and returned a moment later. His brown hair was soaking wet. It was straight, and came down to his neck. It was shorter in the front, and looked somewhat like Cole's, only straighter and not as thick. He had long bangs that fell over his right eye.
"Wow, Kai," Nya said. "That's actually not a bad look for you."
"Thanks, sis," he replied.
Lloyd stood up and started playing with Kai's hair. The brunette pulled away.
"No one messes up my hair!" He joked, grabbing Lloyd's hand so the green ninja couldn't reach his wet hair.
Cole raised an eyebrow, and Kai gave him the death stare. They all gathered into a circle and Kai reached into the hat.
He whispered in Jay's ear. "You were dared to fart in front of my sister."
"Aw, man!" Jay groaned. He paused for a few moments before he farted. It was very loud.
"Gross!" Cole said.
"That smells awful, Jay!" Nya complained.
"It was a dare," Jay defended himself.
Nya nodded. "That makes sense."
Jay selected the next dare from the hat. "Lloyd," he read. "Make vegetables taste good."
Lloyd grimaced. "I hate vegetables!"
"Then make them taste like candy," Kai suggested.
The green ninja walked to the kitchen. He found some vegetables and set them on the counter. He then went to the pantry and returned with a bag of chocolate chips.
"Well, here goes nothing," he said.
The others watched as Lloyd melted some chocolate chips in the microwave. He then stirred them up and dipped six pieces of broccoli into the chocolate.
"Time for the taste test," he remarked, handing a piece to each of his friends.
They all took a bite, spitting it out almost instantly.
"Nope!" Lloyd groaned, wiping his tongue with a paper towel. "I think I just made it worse!"
He got some baby carrots out. "These...these are the devil's spawn," he said bitterly. He wrapped six of them in red licorice.
Each ninja took one and put it in their mouth. They lasted longer than the broccoli, but everyone spit them out after a few seconds.
"Not as bad," Kai observed.
"But not good," Lloyd added.
The energy ninja tried once more. This time, he used peppers. He coated each one in chocolate before passing them out, keeping one for himself.
"The final test," he said. "At least, I hope it is."
They all tasted the chocolate-covered peppers.
"Wow!" Lloyd exclaimed, his mouth full of his creation. "This is really good!"
Nya smiled. "Congrats! You actually made vegetables taste like candy."
The other ninja nodded.
"Good job, Green Machine," Cole added.
"Yeah, this is fantastic!" Jay remarked.
"It is quite interesting," said Zane. "But it is delicious."
Kai agreed. "Nice!"
Lloyd took a bow. "Why, thank you!" He said with mock humility. He was very proud of himself.
They munched on the peppers for a few minutes, talking amongst themselves.
"This is by far the strangest game I've ever played," Cole said.
"Stranger than the Tournament of Elements?" Kai asked.
Cole thought for a minute. "Yeah," he decided. "Stranger even than that!"
They all laughed. Lloyd cleaned up the mess from the chocolate and they all sat down in the living room once more.
The green ninja drew the next challenge. "Zane, you have to sing 'Let It Go' and do the entire dance!"
"That sounds cool," Zane replied. "And I mean quite literally!" He stood up and started singing.
"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen." He walked forward. "A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the queen!"
The others snickered.
"The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried." He continued walking. "Don't let them in, don't let them see. Be the good girl you always have to be."
The five ninja started cracking up at that last line.
"Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know," the ice ninja sang. He pretended to take off a glove and throw it in the air. "Well, now they know!"
Zane formed ice blasts on his hands and tossed them up. They sparkled like little fireworks and disappeared into thin air. "Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore." He made designs with his ice powers. "Let it go, let it go, turn away and slam the door!" All the designs fell to the ground.
"I don't care what they're going to say." He made Olaf out of ice. He didn't come to life, though. "Let the storm rage on." He pretended to take off a cape. "The cold never bothered me anyway!"
The white ninja continued to sing while his friends cheered. He made a staircase out of ice, and eventually built a giant ice castle. It weighed the Bounty down, so Kai quickly melted it once Zane jumped off.
"Let it go, let it go! And I'll rise like the break of dawn." Zane made an outfit out of ice. It didn't work as well as Elsa's, and he couldn't move in it. He broke the ice outfit and continued singing.
"Let it go, let it go! That perfect girl is gone!"
His brothers and sister laughed once again.
"Here I stand in the light of day. Let the storm rage on..." Zane threw his hands in the air. "The cold never bothered me anyway!"
The other ninja jumped to their feet and cheered. Zane took a bow as they all clapped.
"You're the ice king!" Kai said, and gave Zane a high five.
...
Thanks to Kai's Girlfriend, Breana, beeashcroft, Joy Jloyd, and imortalice for the challenges! Also, every so often, I'll throw in a challenge from myself (that was the vegetables...good job, Lloyd!)
I do not own the lyrics to "Let It Go"...duh.
DISCLAIMER: I don't know if the vegetable combinations actually taste good or not, so if you want to test it, do so at your own risk XD
