The Burning Light with Shadows (A SOTAM Fan Fiction)

Truth or Dance? (Sophie's PoV)

A/N I WILL MAKE THE NEXT POV TAM

"Biana, please, don't make us play Truth or Dare," I begged, giving my best puppy eyes. She went on, ignoring it. "Whoever doesn't play has to get a makeover!" she declared triumphantly. Everybody groaned.

"Truth or dare," we all said in unison, yet in flat, annoyed voices. She squealed happily, clapping her hands. She knows our weaknesses, I thought bleakly.

And so, we ended up in a small circle. "I'm going first! Fitz, truth or dare?" Biana asked. Fitz looked miserable. "Truth?" It came out more like a question than an answer.

"Name everyone you have ever had a crush on," Biana said, smirking. Fitz sighed.

"Uhh... Sophie, this random girl in my Foxfire level, and Linh of course," he admitted, avoiding eye contact with me. Fitz and Linh noticeably blushed, and I could tell I was too.

"Keefe, truth or dare?" Fitz asked, looking like he already knew the answer. In fact, we all did. "Dare!" Keefe exclaimed.

"You have to spill lushberry juice all over your hair and you can't shower it off until tomorrow morning, and by morning, I mean that the sun has to have been up for a couple hours and we all have to be awake," Fitz said, looking very pleased. Keefe's expression immediately flipped.

"Aw, come on, not the hair!" he mussed his hair a bit, and with a sigh, he walked into the kitchen, found a pitcher of lushberry juice, and poured it on his hair. Everybody burst out laughing.

"Foster, truth or dare?" he asked, sitting back down, juice still dripping from his hair. My heart started pounding in my chest. "Uh- uh truth?" Keefe looked disappointed.

"Okay Foster, who was your first kiss?" he asked. I looked at him suspiciously, and gave a side eye to Fitz before looking at Dex really quickly. He looked like he wanted to bolt out of the room. "You already know the answer to that question," I complained. He shrugged. "Just say it to everyone else then."

I felt butterflies in my stomach. "Pass..." I said weakly. "You can't pass!" Keefe argued, crossing his arms across his chest. "It's not just my secret though!" I shot back. We stared at each other intently for a few seconds before he looked away and muttered, "Fine. You can skip this one." I snuck a look at Dex, and he looked beyond relieved. He was taking subtle deep breaths.

I bit my lip. "Linh, truth or dare?" Her eyes widened. "Dare?" she said nervously. "I dare you to drop mallowmelt all over Fitz," I said, grinning evilly, partly because of how I felt about their relationship, partly because I had no other ideas for a dare.

And so, a few minutes later, Fitz had a giant mess of mallowmelt all over his face and clothing. "Why?" Fitz said, giving me a sad puppy face. I ignored it.

"Biana, truth or dare?" Linh asked. She thought for a second, before responding with a "Dare!"

"You can't use makeup for three days," Linh said, a smile stretching across her face. Biana groaned, putting her face in her hands. "Noooooo!" she whined. But she nodded sadly.

"Keefe! Truth or dare?" Biana asked, putting her hands on her knees. "D. A. R. E!" Keefe spelled out enthusiastically, a smirk plastered on his face. "You have to smell Iggy breath," she said. "And, because that one might manage to please you somehow, you also have to do a dance to a human song of Sophie's choosing.

Keefe nodded slowly, and I ran back into my room where I had put Iggy's cage. I picked him up in my hands and brought him back, where he burped in Keefe's face. "AAAGH!" Keefe yelped. "That smells terrible! But that would make an awesome stink bomb!"

"Leave it to Keefe to find a way to turn a dare into a prank," Fitz said, rolling his eyes. Keefe grinned. Then, I pulled out my iPod that I kept in my pocket and chose some random rock song. Keefe started swaying his hips to the music, waving his hands around. I coughed, trying to hide my laughter, but Biana, Fitz, and Linh cracked up. Tam had a ghost of a smile on his lips. Keefe sat back down, not looking the least bit embarrassed. "Tammy, truth or dare?" Tam scowled. "Dare."

"You have to dye your hair ice blue, so you're always reminded of our friendship!" Keefe said, and Tam groaned loudly. "Is it temporary?" he asked. "Yeah, it's only for like three days," Keefe said casually. "THREE DAYS?!" Tam burst out, looking extremely angry. Almost everyone, including myself, inched away from him.

"Yep! Here's the elixir!" Keefe said, pulling an ice blue elixir out of his pocket and handing it to him. "You pre-planned this?" Tam accused. Keefe gave a guilty shrug. "Maybeee?" There were a few awkward moments of silence before Tam yelled out, "SENCEN!!!" and started to chase after him. Keefe immediately started running up toward his room, locking the door. Tam pounded on the door loudly. Tam sighed, downing the elixir in one gulp. He gagged at the taste.

"Sencen, I'm going to kill you when you come out!" he shouted. The rest of us started laughing, but he shot the rest of us a glare and we quickly shut up.

"DINNER!" Della called, and we all ran toward the dinner table, including Keefe. Before Tam could get to him, though, I tugged on his sleeve and grabbed Dex, bringing them to a corner. "So... normally I wouldn't suggest this but... do you want to prank them?" I asked, an evil smile on my face. I rubbed my hands together.

Tam and Dex's face lit up. "YES!" they both exclaimed. Dex looked especially excited. "I have plenty of elixirs for pranks. And we can pull a prank out of Keefe's book too!" Tam was smirking, a dark look on his face. "I have a couple ideas," he said.

"Well then," I said, giving a thumbs up. "The others are in for quite the night!"
