Truth or Dare
by Fionavar al Dara

It's an almost typical day on the island. Except for the fact that it's raining, of course. Fionavar and the castaways (excluding Zangulus and Martina, who are feeling anti-social, and Gourrigan who is reading his Star Wars Manga again) are in the guys cabin. Xelloss and Rezzo are feeling whiney.

Rezo: I'm bored.

Xellos: What are we going to do?

Rezo: Yeah, what are we going to do?

Xellos: I'm bored.

Rezo: I'm bored.

Amelia: You said that already, Rezo.

Rezo glares eyelessly at Amelia. Amelia throws her hands up in self defense.

Amelia: Just trying to be helpful.

Suddenly Lina gets a brilliant idea.

Lina: Whoa. Lightbulb.

Zelgadis: Excuse me?

Lina: I've got a great idea.

Naga: Oh ho ho ho ho. Fastest trip on earth.

Lina whacks Naga over the head, sending the White Serpent Sorceress flying.

Xellos: That was entertaining. Can we do that again?

Lina: We'll have to wait 'till she's conscious again...but I don't see why not. And until she does wake up, let's play truth or dare!

Fionavar: Ooh! Great idea, Lina! Who's first?

Rezo: Ooh! Ooh! I wanna! Can I?

Lina: Fine. Rezo, truth or dare?

Rezo: Dare.

Lina grins evily and whispers to Fionavar and Filia. They both start laughing.

Lina: Good one, no?

Filia: Definetly.

Fionavar: Oh yeah. Go with it.

Lina: I will. Okay, Rezo, I dare you to pretend you're a WWF wrestler.

Rezo stands up and assumes a really goofy wrestler pose.

Rezo: Xellos, help me out here.

Xellos picks up a stick and uses it as a microphone.

Xellos: And now, here he is! The people's champion, the Rock!

Rezo: Can you smeeeeeeeeeellllllllll what the Rock.....is cookin'!?

Xellos: The most electrifying move in sports entertainment, the People's Elbow!

Rezo procedes to run back and forth, do a funky kick move, and then jump up in the air, coming down with his elbow on Xellos's head.

Xellos: Hey! You didn't say anything about hitting me!

Everyone bursts into gales of laughter, except Xellos, who sits in the corner pouting.

Rezo: My turn! Truth or dare, Xellos?

Xellos: Well, since I never tell the truth I'll have to take dare.

Rezo thinks for a minute, than whispers to Zelgadis.

Zel: You're one sick guy, Rezo.

Rezo: I know.

Xellos: What?

Rezo takes two coconuts out of his robe and hands them to Xellos.

Rezo: Stick these down down your front and dance around like Naga.

Filia: Eew!

Xellos does as intructed, speaking falsetto in an excellent impression of Naga.

Xellos: Ah ha ha ha! Look at me! I'm Naga the White Serpent! Ah ha ha ha ha! The most beautiful and powerful rival of Lina Inverse. Look at me, I'm big breasted! Ah ha ha ha!

Rezo laughs.

Rezo: I wish I could see that.

Xellos holds the coconuts out to Rezo.

Rezo: Keep 'em, Xel.

Xellos shrugs.

Xellos: You're just giving me two perfectly good coconuts? I wonder why...

Filia: Get on with, Mazuko Garbage!

Xellos pouts.

Xellos: Just for that I'm not picking you!

Filia: I don't care! Just pick somebody!

Xellos: Truth or dare, Lina?

Lina: Truth.

Xellos: Of Rezo, Zangulus, Zelgadis, or me, who's the cutest guy on the island?

Lina: You guys are all dumb! If I had to pick anyone on this island, it would be Gourrigan.

Xellos: Gourrigan's not in my list!

Rezo: Just answer the question!

Xellos: Answer the question!

Zelgadis: Yes, Lina. Please do.

Lina: Fine! God, you guys are stupid.

Filia: Just answer them, Lina.

Sylphiel: Who do you think the cutest guy in the hut is?

Lina: Zel.

Xellos: Yeah!

Lina: Not you, fruit. Other Zel.

Zelgadis turns slightly red. Xellos pouts again.

Xellos: Aw...

Lina: So now I get to pick somebody? Okay. Filia.

Filia: Dare.

Lina: Take your mace and hit Zel over the head.

Xellos: Hey!

Lina: Other Zel, you fruity fruitcake!

Zelgadis: Don't I get a say in this?

Lina: It won't hurt... Much.

Filia: Can't I do something else? I don't want to hurt anybody.

Lina: Okay. Hit Xellos.

Xellos: Hey!

Filia: I can live with that.

Xellos: No!

Filia: He's just going to whine, Lina. I'll have to do something else.

Lina: Alright. How about drawing a moustache on Naga?

Filia: Okay!

Lina hands Filia a laundry marker and Filia draws a moustache on Naga's face. And a little goatee for good measure.

Lina: Hehe. Good job.

Filia: So now I get to pick someone? Okay. Zelgadis.

Zel: Truth.

Filia: Is what Martina says true? You know, being made of stone and all...

Filia blushes a little, while Zel on the other hand looks like a tomato.

Zel: Filia! No!

Amelia: What do you mean, Fil? What does Martina say?

Lina: I think you're too young to understand.

Fionavar: What's that supposed to mean!? I understand it!

Lina: You're older than Amelia!

Fionavar: Not by very much...

Xellos: What!?

Fionavar: Oh, shut up, Mazuko garbage. You know how old I am! I told you last night before we...um..oh shit.

The other castaways: WHAT!?

Fionavar does a full body blush, almost as red as Rezzo's robe.

Fionavar: Uh, nevermind. Isn't it your turn, Filia?

Filia: Yeah. Truth or dare, Fionavar.

Fionavar: Uh, dare.

Filia: I dare you to tell me what you were doing with Xellos last night!

Fionavar: Uh, I think I'll be leaving now. Excuse me.

Xellos: But it's raining, Fio.

Fionavar: I won't melt!

Fionavar dashes out.

Rezo: You didn't!

Xellos: Of course not. She's an elf. I despise them almost as much as dragons.

Filia glares at him.

Zelgadis: Then what was that 'before we' buisness.

Xellos: Before we picked some funky fruit.

Zel: And?

Xellos: We ate some funky fruit. Well, at least I did...I'm not sure what happened after that...

Rezo: He did it.

Lina: Yep.

Naga sits up groggily.

Naga: Did what?

Xellos: Lina, Naga's awake again.

Lina whacks Naga sending her flying and unconscious once more .

Xellos: Yeah!

Amelia: So how was she, Xelloss?

Xellos: Amelia! I don't really think that's any of your buisness.

Filia: Funny, that, Amelia.

Amelia: What?

Filia: Well, you get that and not Martina's comment.

Amelia blushes.

Zelgadis: Well?

Amelia: Nevermind.

Sylphiel opens the window.

Sylphiel: Look! The rain's stopped.

Amelia: In that case...

Amelia jumps up and runs out, avoiding Zel's eyes.

Rezo: So really, Xel. How was she?

Xellos: That's a secret.
