You are the Music in Me

Truth or Dare?

As soon as we got home, I placed Aria on the couch and quickly cleaned the house for our future guests. It was about 6:20 P.M. when I finished.

"Wow." said Sonata. "You cleaned this place really well, Casper." She then approached the wall. "You even made the walls shine. I could see my own reflection."

"Thanks." I said as I wiped the sweat off my forehead. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Just in time." I said. "Sonata, please let them in while I clean myself up."

"Sure thing." She said as I quickly took a sleeveless shirt and a pair of trousers from my room and quickly hid in the bathroom.

As I took a shower, I suddenly realized something. I am participating in a slumber party... With all girls and one guy. Normally, guys would immediately be excited of all the "babes" that they would pork, but I was only excited that I would at least join a slumber party. Cross that off my bucket list.

After I took a shower, I quickly put on my clean clothes and I went out. I then saw the girls chatting and doing what girls normally do, except for Rainbow, Applejack, and Aria, who was watching something on TV.

"How about we play "Truth or Dare?" Asked Pinkie. Everyone else agreed, except for me, Aria and Sonata.

"What's 'Truth or Dare'?" Asked Sonata.

"'Truth or Dare' is a game where players are given the choice between answering a question truthfully, or performing a "dare", both of which are set by the other players." I said.

"What does that mean?" Asked Sonata, earning Aria a facepalm.

"It means that you either tell the truth or do what they want you to do." Said Aria.

"Oh. Ok, I'm in." Said Sonata.

"And I'll be in the kitchen. Call me if there's anything you need." I said as I went to make Dinner.

I then took a look at the refrigerator for something. All there was were a few eggplants, some bread crumbs, and tomato sauce. That gave me an idea for dinner.

3rd Person POV

While the the other girls played "Truth or Dare" with one another, Aria got immensely bored, and since there was nothing good on TV, She decided to go to the kitchen.

"Hey, uh.." Said Aria as she didn't know Casper's name.

"Casper." He said.

"Yeah. So what'cha cooking?" She asked.

"Something my mom used to cook when we have guests." Casper replied as he chopped up some skinned eggplants.

"Which is..." she inquired.

"A secret." He said as he took a ladle and dipped it in the sauce. "Here, try this." he said.

Aria looked at the sauce and looked warily at Casper, who was blankly staring.

"I don't serve poison to guests, Aria." Said Casper.

Aria still didn't believe him. Casper rolled his eyes, and tasted the sauce. "Hmm... Still could use a bit of salt. what do you think?" He said as he looked at the pot, which was now boiling over and turned the fire a bit lower than before. Once again, he dipped the ladle a little and presented it to Aria. Still wary, Aria blew on the sauce and took a sip, to which she widened her eyes.

"Wow, this is really good. You're right though. Still could use a bit of salt." Said Aria.

"Well, then. Since I could tell you're still bored, how about you help me make this food." He said.

"Sure, whatever." She said in a bored tone but hid a small smile on her face

Meanwhile...

"Applejack, Truth or Dare?" Pinkie said as she started the game.

"Well, Ah always tell tah truth, so, Ah thank Ah'll go with dare." She replied.

"Ok, I dare you to..." Pinkie said as she thought of something. "...dance to the Hokey Pokey."

Applejack's mouth was hanging while Rainbow Dash stifled a laugh. Applejack sighed and pulled down her hat,covering her eyes.

"Alright. Let's just finish this." Applejack said as she danced the hokey pokey. When she was done, Rainbow was on the floor, laughing.

"Rainbow, Truth or Dare?"

Rainbow instantly screamed out. "DARE!"

Aj smirked. "I dare ya ta sing one of Pinkie's songs."

Rainbow looked down and muttered something. "Alright, what song?" She said. Aj thought of it for a while until she sang.

"Sing the one she sang in Appleloosa."

"That's it? Fine." Rainbow then breathes deeply and starts to sing.

Meanwhile, Somewhere in another universe...

"Hmm." A general suddenly became alarmed

"What is it, General Armstrong?" Asked a soldier who walked by.

"I just had the strangest feeling to declare war on Germany." He said.

Back to this story's universe...

After Rainbow was done singing, Pinkie suddenly shuddered.

"What is it, Pinkie." Applejack Asked.

"I think the author made someone declare war on Germany." She said.

"What?" asked Aj.

"Oh, nothing. Don't mind it." Pinkie said with a slightly forced smile.

"If ya say so." said Applejack.

"OK, so who should be my next victim?" Asked Rainbow as she looks at the girls. She smirked. "Sunset."

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Rainbow groaned.

"Fine. Do you sleep with a stuff toy?" Sunset became flustered. and looked away.

"No." She said, blushing in embarrassment. Sunset looked at rainbow and saw her smirk. She knew she had to come clean.

"Yes. Yes, I do." Rainbow Dash laughs.

"What next, don't tell me you sleep with a nightlight, too?" Sunseet looked down in embarrassment and stayed quiet.

"You're serious? You sleep with a nightlight?" Rainbow laughed harder until Aj glared at her.

"Don't mind her, sugarcube. Ah don't think of ya any different." said Aj.

"Me too." Said Rarity.

"Me three!" Pinkie piped up.

"Thanks, guys." Said Sunset. "Now, Rarity. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth, Darling."

"Do you have a crush on someone?"

"Of course, darling. Everyone has a crush on someone." Rarity said.

"I don't!" Said someone outside the house. everyone seemed surprised while Pinkie was smiling, knowing who said that.

"Anyway..." Continued Rarity. "He's just not from around here." Sunset nodded.

"Ok, Sonata."

"Yeah."

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth... no, Dare! No, truth!"

"Which one is it, Darling?"

"Fine, I'll go with truth?" Sonata said with uncertainty.

"Do you like Casper?" Asked Rarity with a sly look.

Sonata was about to answer until...

"Girls." Casper's voice came from the kitchen. "Dinner's ready!"

"Oh, boy!" Sonata said, running quickly to the kitchen before the girls could even stand up.

Once the girls were in the kitchen, everyone was surprised. In front of them were two trays of Eggplant Parmesian, both trays with two layers of the dish.

"Wow." They all said, Pinkie and Sonata drooling at the food.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Casper asked. "Dig in!"

As soon as he said that, the girls, including Aria and Casper, grabbed a seat and began to eat.

"Wow. This is good." Said Sunset Shimmer.

"Are you kidding? This is Awesome!" Rainbow said with her mouth full.

"Rainbow, Mind your manners!" Scolded Rarity and Casper simultaneously. The two looked at each other and back to their food.

"Where did you get this recipe?" Asked Rarity.

"I watched Mom do it when she cooks." Casper said.

The rest of the meal was spent in silence, except for Pinkie and Rainbow chomping on their food.
