Hey guys, sorry it took so long to publish chapter three. I've been busy.

Glory: I've been stealing his computer.

Yeah, anyways, I don't own Wings of Fire.

Reason #3: Truth

Glory stood up, and went to the family room, everyone trailing behind her. She sat on one of the couches, and watched as her friends sat in a general circle. Then Deathbringer spoke up.

"Okay. We're going to have two rounds. The first one will be all truths, and the second one will be all dares. Anyone object?" he said. Everybody shook their heads. "Alright then, Let's begin. Remember, the bottle is in the middle, if you run out." Even as he finished, Glory grabbed it, and poured herself another drink. "I'll start. Starflight. Name the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you." Starflight begin to answer, and then seemed to rethink his answer. "Remember, you have to be honest."

"I know, I know," Was starflights response as he took another sip from his drink. "Let's see, I think that the most embarrassing thing that's happened, was in the fourth grade, I lost a game of tag, and had to yell out, during recess, with everyone there, that I hated underwear. Yeah, thats the worst. The looks I got for the rest of school were horrible." He finally answered. "Now, Glory, answer me this. Have you kissed anyone yet?" Glory blushed profusely, and downed her glass in one gulp.

"Yes." She said, quietly, making it difficult for them all to hear. "Suny." She suddenly snapped up, and called. "Do you like Starflight?" This time, the blush was on both starflight, and Sunny.

"Do I have to answer that?" Everyone nodded. "Alright, fine. Yes. Yes I do." She suddenly seemed to realize what she had said, and tried to hide in her shirt. "Tsunami. Do you ever shower in your own home?" Tsunami seemed taken aback by the question.

"No! But, there's a perfectly good reason. There's a spider on the wall of the shower, and I can't get it off." She froze for a minute, and then turned towards Clay. "Clay, Would you commit a crime, if you knew that you wouldn't get in trouble, and nobody would get hurt?"

"What kind of crime?" he asked, and Tsunami just shrugged. "Because, it depends on the crime. I'd definitely do it if the crime involved me eating everything in sight, but I probably wouldn't if it was just like a robbery or something." He sighed. "Oh well. Deathbringer?"

"yeah?"

"Who was your first crush?"

"You mean my only crush? Glory." He said, without hesitating. Glory's glass smacked into the carpeted floor, creating a dull thump, and spilling whiskey everywhere. Everyone suddenly turned to face her. She stood up suddenly, and went to the kitchen to grab some paper towels, and take her sweet time. Deathbringer just kept going. "Starflight. Name the one artist, you're embarrassed to listen to, but enjoy."

"Uh...Uh…" Starflight sat there, waiting, trying to come up with something that wouldn't actually completely discredit him. Finally, he gave up. "Taylor swift. For some reason, her songs are catchy. She's far from my favorite, but I do enjoy her music." He held his breath, and waited for the others to respond. They all just nodded. Starflight sighed in relief, then asked his question. "Sunny, have you …" Starflight gestured. "You know." He finished weakly.

"What? No, I'm not insane." She answered indignantly. "You're going to pay for that." She said, glaring at him. "Now, Tsunami, who's your crush right now?" Tsunami mumbled something unintelligible, and hostile. "What?"

"I said that your necklace looks nice." She said, a fake smile plastered on her lips. "If you want answer," She began, then took a sip. "You'll get it over my dead body." She finished. Deathbringer grinned.

"Happy to comply." he said. Soon after, the two were engaged in a wrestling match that lasted five minutes. Then, Deathbringer sat on top of Tsunami, who was face down in the carpet, with one arm caught in Deathbringer's grasp, behind her. Just then, Glory came back, and promptly dropped the roll of paper towels in her hands.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Tsunami wouldn't answer unless it was over her dead body, and deathbringer lived up to his name." Clay said. Glory nodded, picked up the roll, and began to clean up the spill. Tsunami was yelling on the ground.

"Alright, alright. I get it! You'll get your answer!" She cried. Deathbringer smiled down at her.

"You sure?"

"Yes!" She cried. Eventually, Deathbringer let up, and Tsunami stood back up. "Riptide." She hissed. Everyone but Glory and Deathbringer looked at Tsunami in disbelief.

"Wait, wait, wait,wait wait." Starflight cried. "You mean the Riptide who is on the men's swim team?" Tsunami just held Deathbringer in a glare that could kill, without answering Starflight's question. She picked up her cup, drained it, and poured herself another.

"Glory. You're going to riddle me this. Smell me, buy me, and send me, and I won't change. If you get it wrong, it's a kiss to whoever I pick." Tsunami answered, slightly enjoying the well hidden shock and jealousy on Deathbringer's impassive face. Glory groaned. The alcohol was starting to get to her head, and she wasn't the best at riddles when sober. She looked over at Tsunami.

"Can you come back to me when I have an answer." She said. "In the meantime, " She began, but Tsunami interrupted.

"Nope. You have to answer before we continue." Glory just nodded, and began to think. Smell? Buy? Send? The scents of her home began to flow through her mind. What exactly could she smell, buy, and send?

"Flowers." she said aloud. Tsunami just shook her head.

"Starflight."

"Me? Well, let's see, buy, smell, and send…" He began, before Tsunami interrupted.

"No. I'm just naming the person she has to kiss." Starflight shut up then, and glanced nervously at Deathbringer, whose expression remained emotionless. "Well, go on.. Kiss." Tsunami sighed impatiently. Glory walked to where Starflight sat, and tilted his face up to meet hers. She leaned in, closed her eyes, and kissed him. His lips were softer than Deathbringer's but there was a certain degree of tenderness that Deathbringer lacked sometimes. She pulled away slowly, and walked back to her seat.

"Fine. You got your kiss, now I can ask. Clay. name your own crush." She said, wiping her lips, and taking a sip of her drink. Clay nodded nervously.

"My crush would be Peril." He answered. This time, Sunny was the one who did a double take.

"Peril? As in the Peril who hates everyone? The only other human on this planet, who can go wit against wit with Glory?" Clay nodded solemnly. Then brightened. "Tsunami. What's the answer to your riddle?" He asked. Tsunami looked at him and grinned.

"Scent, cent, and sent." She said. Everyone looked at her, confused. "Scent. S-C-E-N-T. A smell? and cent. C-E-N-T. Like a penny? and sent. S-E-N-T. Past tense of send?" She said, and realization dawned on all of them. Glory stood up then, abruptly.

"I'm going to go use the bathroom." She said, setting her glass on the table, and walking to the bathroom. Then Deathbringer spoke.

"Alroght, Tsunami, 'I'm going to ask you a riddle, and if you get it wrong…" ?He left the sentence unfinished. Tsunami took a sip from her drink, and grinned. She was good at riddles. "This thing all things devours:

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron, bites steel;

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town,

And beats high mountain down." Tsunami lay back and began to think of all of the monsters she had ever read about.

"Easy. Dragons." she said. Deathbringer grinned cruelly.

"Wrong. Time." he said, then glanced around at the five of them. "Sunny." Tsunami looked up, shocked, and then looked at where Sunny sat. Sunny had gone pale, and sat straight as a stick. Tsunami turned back around to look at Deathbringer. She bgan to open her mouth, but thought better of it. She turned to face Sunny again.

"let's get this over with." She said, and leaned forward, but then, Sunny's lips slammed into hers with a passion. Tsunami was taken aback, but then melted to the kiss, moving in response to Sunny. When Sunny was bout to pass out, she pulled back, a small string of saliva still linked her a Tsunami, though Sunny cut it quickly, and sat down, her cheeks the color of tomatoes. Then Deathbringer began to clap.

"Well done Sunny, taking control." He elbowed Starflight gently. "looks like you've got yourself a feisty one." Starflight looked at him with undisguised horror, then looked away sheepishly. Just then, the doorbell rang, and everyone jumped. Then the door slammed open. Glory stood there, with two figures in hoodies behind her.

"I've got a surprise for the Dare round." She began, then stepped back, and let the two figures introduce themselves. The figure on the left stepped forward, and then flipped as high in the air as he could, to land infront of Tsunami. A strand of dyed-blue hair hung in his face, and sea green eyes watched from the shadows.

"Riptide!?" Tsunami asked. The figure threw of his hood.

"None other!" He cried. Then the second figure stepped forward. It walked slowly over to where Clay sat, and sat on the arm of his chair. As the hood came off, long locks of fiery red hair gleamed.

"Peril?!" Clay asked in surprise.

"Is there anybody else who has hair like mine?" She asked. Then Deathbringer spoke up.

"Our last two guests are here. It is finally time to begin the second round of truth or dare. He looked squarely at Riptide. "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."
