Tardises and Tents (Part 2)

And it's part 2! I hope you enjoy : )

"So," said Adric, still trying to understand the new game. "You ask me Truth or Dare?"

"Yes." Said Tegan hopefully.

"And then I choose an option." He continued, slowly.

"Yes." Said Tegan.

"And then you ask us a question if we chose truth, or give us a challenge if we chose dare." Finished Nyssa, and the two of them grinned at Tegan triumphantly.

"Ehhh, close enough. So, Nyssa. Truth or dare?"

"Ummmmm.....truth." Said Nyssa thoughtfully.

"Ok, a truth......what is the strangest thing you've ever eaten?"

Nyssa thought for a moment before answering. "Well," she said. "Probably those marshmallows - balls of sugar air are pretty weird."

Tegan shrugged. Of course, on earth marshmallows would not be considered a 'weird' food, but maybe to a Trakenite....

"So, it's my turn to ask." Said Nyssa. "Doctor, truth or dare?"

"Dare, I suppose."

"Ok, I dare you to....eat some soil." She said, laughing.

"No problem." Said the Doctor, bending down to pick some up. "You know, tasting soil is actually a great way to discover information about an area." Adric and Tegan watched in disgust as the Doctor sampled a small bit of soil, and chewed thoughtfully.

"Well, I can tell you that 30 miles that way there's an alpaca farm, and gift shop.....with a very low tripadvisor rating."

They all shook their heads at this nonsense, hoping it at least made sense to the Doctor.

"It's your turn to ask, Doctor." Said Tegan

"Right, yes. Adric." The young mathematician gulped. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth." Said Adric.

"Ok....when was the last time you got a calculation wrong?" Asked the Doctor, grinning mischievously. Adric blushed.

"Well, last week.."

"Yes?" Said Tegan, who was enjoying this immensely.

"I was counting how many bananas we had. I counted three, which there were, and I wanted to have eight....so I got six more the next time we stopped for provisions." He trailed off into mumbled at the end, and blushed even more violently red. The others all laughed, so hard they too went red.

"So," said the Doctor, choking back gales of laughter. "Whose turn is it to ask?"

"It's mine." Said Adric. "Tegan, truth or dare?"

"Ummm....dare." She said.

"Ok, I dare you...to climb that tree." He pointed to the tallest of the trees that surrounded their campsite.

"That one?" Tegan pointed again. She swallowed. Normally, she wasn't scared of being up high - as an air hostess she couldn't afford to be - but in the dark on an alien planet....well, that was different. And of course, she wasn't letting Adric win. "Fine, I'll do it." She said determinedly.

"You don't have to." Said the Doctor, looking up at the gently swaying branches.

Tegan didn't grace this with an answer, she simply walked over to the lowest branch, and began to climb. Her hands shook a little as she grasped the branch, and when she put some weight on it, it snapped off completely.

"Careful!" Gasped Nyssa. She, the Doctor, and Adric (Who looked as though he was slightly regretting this dare) had got to their feet, and were watching on nervously.
