Fairy Tail; The Sequel

Chapter Nine ; Strawberry Cake Mistake

Back at Fairy Hills, the boys looked at Laxus with their mouths hanging open. "What the hell do you mean, Laxus?" Natsu roared in confusion. To him, something like that was what girls would do, not boys.

Laxus' cheeks were tinted a shade of pink, but he kept his composure. "You know... what do we think of the girls." He repeated in a different way. Gray stepped up to the dragon slayers.

"Yea, we aren't doing that. Leave that to the girls." He crossed his arms over his bare chest. "We can play something, though." He shrugged as he sat back down next to one of Erza's armors.

Sting jumped up with Lector on his shoulder. "Ooh! How about Truth or Dare?" He said with a goofy smile on his face. Laxus sighed in relief as he nodded, realizing that this was how he could get the information he needed.

The men in the group stood up, ready to leave. "We've done enough of this in our lifetime, you guys have fun." Wakaba rubbed the back of his neck as some other guys murmured in agreement. Macao warned Romeo to go to bed early and left with rest of the people.

"Uhm, I guess that leaves us." Sting said as he plopped down in his seat in the circle of boys that were left. Only Natsu, Happy, Gray, Jellal, Cobra, Laxus, Elfman, Gajeel, Romeo, Alzack, Sting, Rogue, Pantherlily, Frosh, and Lector were left. They made a circle to start their game. Some of the Sabertooth boys refused to come and the other Crime Sorciere members were back at their camp searching for clues to finding Scar and his brothers.

The boys were seated in a half circle because Erza's armor blocked off the wall. "So," Elfman spoke up, "how exactly are we going to do this?"

Sting chuckled at the Strauss's confusion, "The classic way, of course! I'll start, and then whoever I choose goes next and so on." He turned to his best friend, with a daring expression, "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." Rogue answered, his arms still crossed.

"I dare you to clip up your fringe, and keep it that way for the rest of the night." Sting smirked like a dream of his had just come true. Rogue sighed at his childish friend, but did the dare.

Now it was Rogue's turn to chose a victim, "Gajeel, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Gajeel simply stated as he turned his head to the side.

By this time of the party, everyone had found out about Gajeel and Levy. "When did you and Levy even have time to..you know..?"

"Not to long after the war ended, she snuck me here to talk about things, and one thing lead to another, and now I'm gonna be a Pappy." Gajeel responded, keeping his answer rather vague, leaving out the most important details. When the others continued to stare at him, he got fed up, "Salamander! You next! Chose, truth or dare." He demanded.

"I ain't scared of anything you have to say! Dare." Natsu said, he was obviously all fired up.

"Geehe, I dare you to vandalize some of Scarlet's armor." Gajeel said darkly, knowing that this would scare the poor flame wizard.

"Wha-? No way man, that's like, suicide! Do you want me to die?" Natsu freaked out, hyperventilating, while Gajeel made chicken noises in the background. Hearing this, Natsu snapped out of it with an evil glint in his eyes. He made a small flame come out of his index finger as he walked over to Erza's everyday armor. With the flame, he drew a tiny illustration of a dragon. The silver metal turning black where he drew.

"Now, Laxus, I dare you to fight me!" Most of the remaining wizards facepalmed at Natsu's stupidity. Of course he of all people wouldn't know how to properly play a game as simple as this.

"Uh, Natsu," Sting interrupted with a sweatdrop forming at his brow, "That's not how you play this. You have to ask truth or dare, you can't just assign it."
