INTRO: Mum! Dad! Bingo! Bluey!

INT. JUDO'S HOUSE- BEDROOM

"Truth or dare?" Bluey sat cross-legged on Judo's bed, fiddling with a piece of paper.

"Truth!" Judo was quick to jump out with a decision. Truth or dare was one of her favorite games.

"Truth.. hmmm..." Bluey thought to herself, thinking of a truth that Judo would like. "What was the last movie you watched? Was it the newest Chutney Chimp?"

"Chutney Chimp?" Judo snickered. "I don't watch Chutney Chimp anymore, Bluey! Casper says it's for babies!"

"Oh." Bluey sighed.

"What I DID watch was the newest Dracula movie with him." Judo grinned. "And it was SO SCARY, Bluey! You wouldn't believe it."

When Bluey didn't show the same level of enthusiasm back, Judo stopped. "Okay then," She looked at Bluey, confused on why she wasn't s excited as she was. "Anyways, Bluey, truth or dare?"

"Umm..." Bluey thought to herself. She didn't know whether to pick truth or dare.

"Pick dare." Judo quietly whispered into Bluey's ear.

And Bluey knew the choice she was predisposing herself to.

"I dare you to come over to my dad's house next weekend and watch the Dracula movie with Casper and me!" Judo giggled.

Bluey grimaced. She didn't like scary things, and she had only recently gotten over her fear of movies in general.

"What's wrong?" Judo sneered. "You're a scaredy-cat, huh?"

"No, I am NOT!" Bluey stood up fiercely, her tail wagging and her hands to her side. "I am NOT a scaredy-cat, and I am NOT scared of the movie!"

"Well, a dare is a dare." Judo stood up. "Even if you are a-"

"Bluey?" Chilli called from downstairs, "Time to go home!"

"That's Mum." Bluey got up, eager to leave. "And Judo," She said once more. "I am NOT a scaredy-cat!"

"Hey, Bingo! Let's play Favourite Thing!" Bluey said to her sister, desperte to avoid the dinner of greens and grilled chicken.

"Oh, yeah! Favourite Thing is my favourite part of the day!" Bingo grinned, showing a gap in her teeth. "My favourite thing today was when the tooth fairy came and gave me a whole dollarbuck!"

"A whole dollar?" Chilli almost choked on her water. "Wow, seems like the tooth fairy's in business." She nudged Bandit with her elbow.

Bingo nodded. "And I was so happy that when Dad took us to the park I went up the big slide." Her ears perked up triumphantly. "All by myself."

"Wackadoo, Bingo!" Chilli clapped. "That's amazing!"

"I did something brave today, too." Bandit replied, his mouth stuffed with chunks of chicken. "Volunteered for cleaning duty at the office. Dunno why I did it, but hey- I get paid more!"

Bluey couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious. All these stories about bravery only reminded her about what happened earlier that day with Judo and her.
