The following night the sparklings were sleeping soundly while the adults were sitting in a circle, "So how does this game work?" Grimlock asked.
"Each one will ask one of their choosing to do a truth or a dare, if they pick truth you ask them a question and they must answer truthfully if they pick a dare you dare them to do something and they must do it," Bumblebee explained to him.
"Ohh, that sounds like fun," the Dinobot grinned.
"Hopefully, this is better than our last truth or dare game," Arcee said with a slight giggle.
"What happened last time?" Predaking asked.
"You don't want to know," Bumblebee says a bit quickly and bashfully.
"So who goes first?" Knockout asked with a smirk.
"You can Knockout."
"Let's see. Bumblebee, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What happened in the last game of truth or dare?"
Bumblebee's faceplate goes blue. Nobody notices Optimus looking embarrassed. Bumblebee looked at Optimus before speaking, "I had gotten a dare and..."
Thunderhoof, Steeljaw, and Predaking leaned in wanting to hear the answer.
"I was dared to kiss Optimus, on his aft."
Everyone burst into laughter, except for Megatron who was looking at Optimus with shock, trying his best not to laugh.
"Alright, alright! Knockout, truth or dare?"
Knockout tapped his chin in thought, "Truth."
"Is it true you had, not one, but a few nights with Starscream in his room?"
"And you can't lie, Knockout," Megatron added in a firm tone.
Knockout's face plates had tinted a deep shade of blue, "Yes," he whispered quietly.
"We can't hear you," Megatron says teasingly.
"Yes, I did!"
"I knew it!" Bumblebee and Arcee said together.
"Ok then, Megatron," Knockout speaks up as he tried to make his blush go away, "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss Optimus for 5 seconds," he said with a smirk.
"Ok," he leaned in and kissed Optimus. Optimus' optics widened a bit before closing as he kissed him back. But they end up kissing for longer than 5 seconds.
"Ok, it's your turn Megatron. Anytime you decide to stop," Metalsound chuckled.
Megatron breaks the kiss, "Sorry. Um, Predaking, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever thought about fragging any of the 'Cons or 'Bots?"
"No, none have ever piqued my interest to that point."
"Ok, your turn."
"Grimlock, truth or dare?"
"Uhh, dare."
"I dare you to give Bumblebee a hug."
"Ok," he goes over and gives Bumblebee a hug. He then sits back down, "Alright, Steeljaw, truth or dare?"
"Hmm, truth."
"Have you ever been with a mech?"
"No."
"So you only been with femmes?"
"Yes, but Strongarm is the only one that I've really cared about."
"Ok, your turn."
"Sideswipe, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to dress and dance like a ballerina."
"Aw come on."
"Sorry," Steeljaw said with a smirk.
I'm not sorry.
I know you're not.
Steeljaw chuckled over the bond.
I'm guessing this is a form of payback from that incident a few years ago.
Yep.
You can't let that go, can you?
I may forgive him after he's made a fool of himself.
You still have your cruel side.
At least it's not as bad as it was back then.
No, it's not.
"Uh, Steeljaw, Strongarm, can we continue? You're just staring at each other," Thunderhoof whispered to them.
Steeljaw looked over at him, "Huh? Oh sorry, we were having a conversation through our bond."
"We could tell. Who wants to go next while Sideswipe is getting dressed?" Thunderhoof asked.
"How about you go next buddy," Steeljaw tells him.
"Hm, let me see," he looked at the group, his optics lingered on Razorclaw who was shifting in discomfort, "Razorclaw," the said mech flinched and sat up, "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"If you were given the chance to frag Metalsound again would you take it?"
"No, as long as I'm free of Saborfang's control I will never frag a femme that's already mated. I'm really sorry for doing that and I really wish I could undo it."
Before Thunderhoof could make a remark a bolt of lightning hit him, "What was that for?" He asked Metalsound.
"That wasn't me, I haven't been able to use my electricity properly for a few days," she replied quietly.
"Then who hit me with a bolt of lightning?"
Soundwave held a tentacle up, the end sparking with electricity.
"Soundwave, why did you hit me with a bolt of electricity?"
"Leave Razorclaw alone."
"It was just a simple truth or dare question."
"Don't make it personal then."
"Ok, ok. Your turn Razorclaw."
"Um, Fixit, truth or dare?"
"Oh um, care, lair, dare."
He glanced over to Metalsound for a moment before motioning the Mini-Con closer and Fixit rolls over to him.
"Eyo, what you got in mind and why did you look at Metalsound?"
"I didn't look at her," the Wolf-Con growled, "It's more of a request," he whispered to the Mini-Con, "I would like for you to send me a file on how to speak Japanese. And don't tell anyone."
"Alright, will do."
Just then Sideswipe comes out in his ballerina outfit. Everyone burst into laughter, save for Soundwave whose shoulders shook, and Razorclaw was laughing quietly, hiding a smile.
"Yes, everyone laugh it out," Sideswipe says mockingly feeling very embarrassed, "Happy now, Steeljaw?"
"You still have to dance like one," Steeljaw chuckled.
With a groan, he starts dancing which only made everyone laugh even harder. He then stopped and sat down, "Who's turn is it?" He asked still feeling embarrassed.
"Your turn."
"Metalsound, truth or dare?" Sideswipe asked.
"Um, dare," she replied.
"I dare you to kiss Strongarm on the mouth."
"What!?" They shouted in unison.
"For 10 seconds."
"I am not-" Strongarm started only to be cut off as Metalsound kissed her.
Best to get this over with and this is not right. Metalsound thought.
Just as long as it's only 10 seconds. Strongarm thought.
Once the 10 seconds were up Metalsound released Strongarm, her face was hot with embarrassment as she sat back down in her spot. Strongarm's was as well.
"Your turn Metalsound," Sideswipe said to her.
"Ultra Magnus. Truth or dare?" She asked still blushing.
"Truth."
"How did you feel about me kissing Strongarm?"
"No feelings really."
Metalsound shrugged, "Ok." As long as I don't have to do that again.
"Windblade, truth or dare?"
"Dare," she replied.
"I dare you to punch Sideswipe in the groin."
With a smirk, she swiftly punched Sideswipe in the groin, "OW!"
"Shockwave, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What made you take Steeljaw in and raise him?"
Shockwave and Steeljaw look at each other, "I guess I felt sorry for him, I know what it's like to lose parents and be left to fend for myself so I wanted to help him."
Aww. Strongarm hugged her mate, feeling happy for her father-in-law. Steeljaw hugged her back.
"Optimus Prime, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What was it like when you were in the realm of the Primes?"
"It was nothing like I've ever seen or felt before."
"Did you see anyone that had died during the war?"
"A few."
"Perhaps you should discuss this at a later time," Megatron suggested gently.
"Yes, I agree. Arcee, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to hug Megatron."
With a little hesitation, she hugged the larger mech. She then goes to sit back down, "Strongarm, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
A smirk comes on Arcee's face. Strongarm suddenly felt nervous, "I dare you to give Steeljaw a lap dance," Strongarm, Bumblebee, and Metalsound all looked with wide optics since they knew what it was but all the others were looking confused.
"What's a lap dance?" Grimlock asked.
"That's what I would like to know," Steeljaw says.
"It's a human thing where a lady dances on the lap of a man all seductively," Strongarm explains.
"Really now?" Steeljaw grinned at the thought of seeing his mate giving him a lap dance. If you'd rather do the lap dance in private I won't blame you. He purred as he pulled her into a hug. Besides, I don't think your father would want to see it.
"Um, I think that's something I'd rather do in private."
"Fair enough," Arcee grinned.
"Soundwave, truth or dare?" Strongarm asked.
"Dare."
"I dare you to take off your visor and kiss Razorclaw."
"Um, don't I get a say in this?" Razorclaw asked as his face turned blue. He had never been kissed before.
"Not really, it's a dare and he must do it," Strongarm tells him.
Soundwave slowly undid the latches and took off his visor. Everyone looks and sees a big scar going down one side of his face. One of his optics was a pale purple, and he had an ugly scar on both sides of his neck. It looked like someone had tried to tear his throat out but was unsuccessful.
"How long?" Soundwave asks her.
"For 5 seconds."
Soundwave leaned in and kissed Razorclaw. Razorclaw sat as still as possible, unsure of what to do. All he could do was listen to his spark racing, and he was sure the others could hear it too. Soundwave really got into the kiss and ended up going longer than 5 seconds.
"Uhh, Soundwave?"
Soundwave pulls back from the kiss, "Wheeljack, truth or dare?"
Razorclaw placed his fingers on his lips, still feeling the warmth of Soundwave's own lips on his.
"Dare," Wheeljack replied to Soundwave.
Soundwave finishes fastening his visor back on, "I dare you to do the Macarena."
"The what?" Grimlock asked.
"The Macarena, it's a dance the humans do," Arcee explains.
Soundwave plays the Macarena song and Wheeljack does it, but not enjoying it as it's one dance he never saw himself doing. The femmes all giggled at the sight.
"That's it. Work it, baby," Arcee says to him with a little giggle. Wheeljack smiled at her, feeling a little less embarrassed.
He then sat back down, "Alright Bulkhead old friend, truth or dare?"
"May as well go out with a bang. Dare."
"I dare you to go for a fly on Predaking."
"Right now?"
"Yes, right now."
"Ok," he replied with a little uncertainty as he walked up to Predaking. Predaking hesitantly transformed to dragon mode and waited for him to get on.
Bulkhead made his way on top of the large dragon, "And how long does this flight have to last?"
"A minute."
"That doesn't sound too bad."
"Not at all."
Predaking takes off and everyone watched as the Predacon flies through the night sky. A minute later Predaking lands and Bulkhead gets off, "You alright Bulk?" Wheeljack asks his friend.
Bulkhead stumbled a little but he caught himself, "Yeah, I'm just not used to that."
"Don't worry you won't have to do it again."
"Thunderhoof, truth or dare?" Bulkhead asks as he sits back down.
"Dare."
"I dare you to shake hands with Razorclaw."
Thunderhoof gets up and walks over to Razorclaw. He puts his servo out to the Wolf-Con and with slight hesitation, Razorclaw took it. They shake hands, but Thunderhoof squeezes his servo a bit. Razorclaw winced a little but did his best to get through the pain. They then release each other's servos and go their separate ways.
