Guardian Angel (Guardians Of The Galaxy Fanfiction)

Purebred

"Truth or dare," asked Pallid as he looked over to Somber.

Somber thought for a second. "Dare."

Pallid tilted his head as he thought of a good dare to humiliate Somber a bit. "I dare you to lick the floor."

Somber wrinkled his nose, instantly wishing he had chosen truth. "Can I change my answer," he asked hopefully. "Do you know how many disgusting and filthy paws have walked on this floor?"

"You chose dare," teased Ashen warmly with a smug look on her face.

Somber snorted in anger but he wasn't about to back out. He padded a few paces where he hoped no one stepped and lowered his head. He rasped his tongue over the harsh ground. It didn't taste like anything but he was praying he wouldn't get sick from it. He stood up and smiled at Pallid. "There."

"Truth or dare Ashen," barked Somber. He hoped that his sister would chose dare but she wasn't stupid.

"Truth," she barked as she blinked her eyes.

Somber thought intently for a moment before his eyes glowed. "What is your favorite song?"

Ashen was a bit surprised by the question. "I don't have a favorite song," she argued with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Liar," growled Somber as he lashed his tail. "Everyone has a favorite song. You just must be embarrassed by yours."

"That's not true," snapped Ashen as she turned her muzzle upward at her brother.

"How about we all say our favorite songs to make us all feel better," suggested Whisper who was the one who enjoyed music the most. "I like Ain't No Mountain High Enough or Total Eclipse Of The Heart."

"Oldies," chuckled Pallid as he nudged Whisper's head with his shoulder. "I like What I've Done by Linkin Park or maybe er Footloose."

"Footloose," yowled Whisper in mockery. "And you're making fun of my choices."

"How about Monster by Skillet," asked Somber as he puffed out his chest in pride. "That kinda sums up the situation we're in."

"I like Come and Get Your Love," barked Dish as he wagged his tail. "I know it's older but it's pretty good."

Ashen knew it was her time so she tapped her claws against the ground impatiently. "I enjoy Don't Stop Believin'."

"What about you Grenade," asked Whisper as she looked over to the tom who hadn't spoken the whole game since he hadn't had a turn yet.

Grenade didn't want to answer but everyone else did so he sighed. "Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons."

"Never heard of it," confessed Somber as he exchanged a look with Ashen. She hadn't heard of it either.

Grenade shrugged. "I'll have to play if for you sometime."

"Hey I have a question for Dish. Truth or dare?"

Dish felt his fur prickle as he heard the familiar voice of Diesel with Drift and Desert. He turned his head and bared his teeth. "Leave me alone."

"Answer the question," snapped Diesel as he turned his nose upward.

"Truth," barked Dish as he willed them just to go away.

Diesel curled his tail over his back and smiled excitedly. "Are you a purebred?"

"Purebred," echoed Dish as he looked to Ashen and Somber in confusion. "What's a purebred?"

"A purebred is only one bred," explained Somber as he looked to Diesel with eyes narrowed to slits. "Like a Husky or a Golden Retriever or a Scottish Fold for felines."
