Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 46

~Evening – Arc Mansion~

Jaune and his group don't do much once they finish the homework they are given during the day. They completed it very quickly each time since they have gotten smarter. Thus, the group was relaxing with Lili, playing a game of 'Two Truths and a Lie.'

As for the Goddesses? They were out in Vale doing...well, they did not know what Loki and Hestia were doing, but Hephaestus was in the Vale Library researching Mechashift and Engineering.

Lei, with her calm demeanor, started the game. "I'll go first. Let's see... I've climbed the highest peak in Anima, tasted rare tea from Mistral, and swum with Grimm sharks."

Pyrrha raised an eyebrow. "I think the lie is that you've swum with Grimm sharks."

Lei's lips twitched into a smile. "Correct. I haven't swum with them but have encountered them from a distance."

Nora clapped her hands, her turn coming up. "Okay, here goes! I once accidentally launched myself out of a catapult, I've eaten an entire cake in one sitting, and I can recite all the lyrics to 'Boop' by heart."

Weiss smirked. "The lie is that you've eaten an entire cake in one sitting."

Nora chuckled. "You got me! Though I did have a valiant effort once."

Ruby eagerly jumped in next. "All right, my turn! I've ridden on Zwei's back, crashed a ship into a tree, and mistaken a Beowolf for a pet."

Jaune scratched his chin. "Hmm, I guess you've mistaken a Beowolf for a pet."

Ruby laughed. "Yep, you got it! I was just a kid back then."

Yang chimed in with a grin. "Now it's my turn. I've won a pie-eating contest, dyed my hair blue before, and accidentally set a dormitory on fire."

Lei smirked. "The lie is that you've accidentally set a dormitory on fire."

Yang winked. "Bingo! Though I've come close a couple of times."

Amber's turn came up, and she thought for a moment. "Okay, here we go. I've met the real-life inspiration for one of my favorite books, cooked a meal for a group of children, and danced on a table at a Mistralian festival."

Blake raised an eyebrow. "The lie is that you've danced on a table at a Mistralian festival."

Amber chuckled softly. "Correct. Dancing on tables isn't really my style."

Ruby leaned in eagerly. "Ooh, my turn again. I've accidentally set my hair on fire, seen a real-life griffon up close, and can't stand horror movies."

Weiss arched an eyebrow. "You can't stand horror movies?"

Ruby shook her head. "Nope! That's the lie. I love horror movies, even if they make me jump sometimes."

Laughter erupted around the circle as everyone imagined Ruby watching horror movies with her signature enthusiasm.

Yang raised an eyebrow in mock suspicion. "All right, here's a tough one. I once raced against a professional driver. I've eaten an entire pizza in one sitting and never broken a bone."

Nora grinned mischievously. "Hmm, racing against a professional racecar driver?"

Yang chuckled. "Busted! I've never raced against a professional driver, but I did eat that whole pizza!"

Nora pointed a finger at her. "You're my hero!"

Leaning forward, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "All right, time for some truths and a lie from yours truly. I've accidentally dyed my hair neon green, I've ridden a Nevermore like a bucking bronco, and I can juggle three watermelons at once."
