Short story: Truth or dare!

OCs featured: Eli Henderson, Leda Delvin

Between 22-19 BBY, Coruscant

"Ok, I'm bored. Wanna do something?" Leda asked. She, Eli, Ahsoka, Caleb, and Barriss had just finished their training together and now the 5 of them were hanging out under the tree in the courtyard.

 "Hmm... there's truth or dare." Eli mused. 

Ahsoka tilted her head. "What's that?"

Eli explained the concept to the best of his ability. Leda listened, suddenly interested in the game.

"Let's do it!" She said. "All in favor?"

4 of the padawans raised their hands. Barriss was the only one against it. 

"C'mon, Barriss," Leda pleaded. "It'll be fun!" 

Barriss considered it before relenting. "Fine..."

"So, you just ask someone truth or dare?" Ahsoka asked. 

Eli nodded. "And the person says either truth or dare. If you pick truth, you have to answer something and answer it honestly. And if it's a dare, you have to do whatever you're told to do for the dare."

"Ok, truth or dare, Leda?" Ahsoka asked.

"Uh... truth?"

"Did you actually kick someone when you were a youngling?" Ahsoka asked.

Leda thought for a moment. "I think I did. Yeah, I definitely did. But hey, in my defense, he was getting on my nerves."

"Hey!" Caleb complained, having been the one Leda had kicked.

"What? I'm telling the truth."

"Ok, ok, be nice, guys," Eli chided. "Anyway, Leda- ask away."

Leda nodded. "Truth or dare, Eli?" 

"Dare." 

Leda smirked as she pulled out a bag of hot cheetos. And to top it off, it was the hottest flavor available. 

Eli paled at the sight. "You... want me to eat that?"

"Yep."

Eli gulped at the bag of XXTRA flaming hot cheetos dangling in between Leda's fingers. She looked at him. "Well, what are you waiting for? Do it."

To Eli it sounded like Dew it. Then Barriss, Ahsoka, and Caleb started chanting, "Do it! Do it! Do it!"

Eli flushed as he took the bag. "If I get sick from this it's on you," he muttered before opening it. 

"Oh, please," Leda said. "The person I bought it from said it won't do much damage."

"Who'd you buy it from?" Barriss asked.

"Some mercenary named Jack Axel," Leda said. "It was only about 10 credits."

"I can tell," Eli said before popping one cheeto into his mouth. Immediately he tensed up, resisting the urge to go to the refectories and grab some water. Leda fought the urge to snicker at his reaction, but Ahsoka and Caleb were laughing hysterically. 

"His... his face!" Ahsoka howled. "I- I can't-"

"Priceless...!" Caleb managed between fits of laughter. 

Eli scowled as he composed himself. "Very funny." He folded the bag's opening before setting it aside. "If you two are done laughing at me, we should get going. Truth or dare, Caleb?"

Caleb took a moment to calm down before answering. "Dare."

"Ok, I dare you to sing something." Eli said.

"I... don't know any songs," Caleb protested. 

"I can help with that," Leda piped in as she pulled out an Iphone that she had obviously borrowed from her master. After scrolling through a few songs she found the perfect one to have Caleb sing. "Here it is!"

Eli used the force to take Kendall's phone and looked at the song. "This is... old. But I won't complain."

He turned it on:

Caleb cringed at the song. "Can I pass?"

"If you do, there's gonna be consequences, you know," Eli said. "Don't worry. You can stop midsong."

Caleb took a deep breath. "All right. Fine. Here goes...

"Oh, I'm a gummy bear.

Yes, I'm a gummy bear,

Oh, I'm a yummy, tummy, funny looking gummy bear.

I'm a jelly bear.

Cuz I'm a gummy bear. 

Oh, I'm a movin, groovin, jammin, singing gummy bear..."

He finished the song, leaving the other padawans in shocked silence.

"Was I... ok?" Caleb asked in a small voice. 

"How'd you get all the lyrics in one go?" Eli asked. "And... yeah, you didn't sound as cringy as I thought you would."

"That's not nice."

"I said that because the song itself was really cringy."

"Let's hope no one else has to sing," Barriss said.

Ahsoka nodded. "Agreed."

"Barriss," Caleb asked. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth," Barriss said plainly.

"Is it true you got possessed by a worm?" Caleb asked her. 

Barriss sighed and nodded. "Yes, I have."

Ahsoka then looked at her. "Barriss, I just wanted to say... I'm really sorry for... you know, freezing you."

Barriss nodded. "No need to apologize. You did the right thing, Ahsoka. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten things under control. Anyways, truth or dare?"

"Hmm..." Before Ahsoka could decide, a voice called, "There you are!"

All the padawans looked up to see Anakin and Kendall. Depa, Mace, and Luminara were just walking over to them. Leda's eyes darted to Kendall's Iphone, which was still playing gummy bear songs. 

Kendall noticed the phone and picked it up. "You seemed to be having a fun time listening to Spotify on my phone." 

"Uh, it was mainly for a game," Leda said.

Kendall looked around, noticing the bag of chips. "Truth or dare, huh?"

"How-?" 

"Why else would there be hot cheetos and a cell phone that isn't from this galaxy here?" Kendall shut off Spotify and put her now powered off phone in her belt. 

Leda looked down. "Good point."

"If you're done here, I suggest you get back inside," Kendall told the rest of the padawans. "Your masters were wondering where you went."

A/N: Figured I would get another short story underway while I'm working on the next episode rewrites. Never did a truth or dare before so I hope it turned out ok *crosses fingers*

I don't own Star Wars, just my OCs!
