I sat there, sweat beads forming on my brow, my breath was shallow amd ragged, my thoughts were set abaze, I knew what was coming...simply put....Bon Bon was going to ask me the dreded question.
"Truth or Dare?" Bon-Bon asked me. I already knew she was going to ask me, yet I still was unprepared. With an uneasy breath I tried my best to man up.
"D-D...uhh...Truth!" There goes my manly side. Was I really that scared of what Bon-Bon could make me do? I looked at the disappointed Bon-Bon. Her face twisted while she thought of what to 'truth' me.
"Is it true." Gawd I feel like I'm back in middle school. "That you.....hmmm." Great start so far. "That...you...ugh!" I laughed at Bon-Bon while she failed to ask me a question.
"Oh-oh-oh!" Spitfire said, sounding much like an excited schoolgirl. "Is it true that you are still a virgin!" Ok what tha fuck?
"What she said!" Bon-Bon said happily, as her dilehma solved itself.
I hate this game. "Yes." I replied, trying my best not to be ashamed of myself.
"Pfft!" Bon-Bon stifled her giggle. "Pffghlt." Or at least tried to.
"Awwwww, how sweet!" Said Spitfire. I refused to blush so instead of pondering on I pushed on for my turn.
"Spitfire." The girl tensed up at my voice. "Truth or DAAARE!" I tried my best to make dare sound terrifying, hoping she would stay away from it, cause I got some serious questions to ask he-
"Dare please!" She simply said. I grunted at how easy it was for her. She even said please. My pride seriously took a toll just now.
Without a doubt in my mind, I already knew what my plan was....revenge. I grinned evilly and spoke. "I dare you to..." Pause for dramatic effect. "Tickle the hell outta Bonny!" I shouted and pointed towards the would be victim.
"Hey, come on we can talk about this!" Bon-Bon said as she rolled off the bed and stood up, she held out her arms trying to halt the tickle fiend that crept closer. "Come on Spitfi-ompf!" As true to her nick name, the little Spitball flung herself at Bon-Bon and tackled her down. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the squeals and screams of protest that followed.
"Music to my ears." I said, after about thirty seconds I heard gasping so I told Spitfire to stop. I received an evil eye from Bonny as we all took our original seats at the bed.
"Alex." Spitfire said, right then and there something clicked. Very few anthros knew my name...so how did she? "Truth or dare?" I set up a master plan, now having a true goal in mind.
"Dare." I said wanting it to be my turn.
"I dare you to-" her voice trailed off as she saw the look in my eye. Determination, and it wasn't the positive helpful kind either. "T-to tell me what your thinking." That wasn't what her original dare, whatever she saw in my eye she was afraid.
"I'm trying to find out how you know my name." I told her calmly, Spitfire flinched back. Sometimes calm tones of voice are more intimidating than an angry tone.
Spitfire took a minute to think for herself. "Don't be angry." She pleaded me. I glared at her for my response. "Please?" I remained silent.
"Look dude, does it really mat-" Bonny tried to continue her sentence but my icy daggers for eyes dug into her flesh and forced her silent.
"Just tell me." I told Spitfire.
"Our...leader talked a lot about you." The leader knew me personally. They told me that already but I assumed personally was like we talked once or twice, but the leader knew my name. My face drooped a bit as I thought. "Don't get mad, she didn't." I tuned her out. The leader was a girl.
More and more puzzle pieces came together...a girl, who knew me personally, wants to help and knows my name. CLICK! Lyra.
"Ly-ra." I said, the name broken and unwelcome on my tongue.
"Yeah...we weren't suppose to tell you!" Spitfire said.
"You told him! I had nothing to do with it!" Bon-Bon said in defense.
"She tricked me!" I growled, I got off the bed and paced around the room. My brain went into overdrive. 'It happened again!' I thought, over and over as I paced the room angrily. I let my guard down, why do I trust people. I looked at Bon-Bon and Spitfire who were now sitting on the edge of the bed.
Spitfire stood up and walked towards me with an arm stretched out towards me. Before she reached me I turned against her.
"If she tricked me into this mess than what does that make you!" I shouted at Spitfire. My anger rose and was now visible on my face. "How could I fall for this again!" I rambled to myself. "I trust you anthros! I give you what I can and hope to receive nothing but trust, but no I get betrayed!" I felt my head throb.
"She didn't mean for you to get caught!" Shouted Bon-Bon from the bed.
"She led me straight to CELESTIA'S STUDENT!" I roared at her. "Then she didn't even help when they captured me!" Something inside my gut. "She didn't even try." I dropped my angry stance and fell to the floor and sat onto my ass.
Spitfire walked beside me and kneeled down. "That's why were here." Could I trust them? Could I really trust these anthros? "She knows this wont make up for it all but, she has plans." I looked up at the fiery girl, her genuine smile felt comforting. I had to trust someone eventually.
I rubbed my temples and looked at Spitfire. Truly looked at her. I saw how she looked back at me, how her eyes shimmered slightly, how her breath was light around me.
I wiped away a tear that formed in my eye and looked over at Bon-Bon. She was staring at us, fully intent and worried."
I looked back at Spitfire, who was leaning in close to me. "Spitfire?"
"Yes?" She replied softly.
"Truth or Dare?" I asked her.
"Truth." She knew what I wanted.
"Do you trust me?" I asked her.
"With my life." I smiled at her answer.
"That...was corny." I told her as I laughed, the tension in the room finally seemed to vanish. I stood up. Bon-Bon walked towards me and Spitfire.
"I'd say." The beige girl said. "I would also say if I didn't know any better you two have the hots for one another." She grinned mischievously. I punched her lightly in the arm and then pulled her and Spitfire into a group hug.
"I love you guys!" I said jokingly.
"Bleh!" Bonny said, faking a gagging sound.
Spitfire didn't say anything but when we stopped the group hug I swear I saw a deep red blush across her face. I tried to get a better look but she kept avoiding eye contact with me. I shrugged it off.
I put a balled up fist to my mouth and yawned into it. "We can talk about...Lyra tomorrow, right now I need some sleep." I said as I jumped onto the queen sized bed and sprawled myself out.
"Hey that was mine!" Shouted Bonny.
"You never called seat check." I yawned and proceeded to pass the fuck out, as I drew closer to sleep I felt the presence of another in the same bed with me. Before I could determine whom it was, the lights for the room turned off and I fell asleep.
