K.C.: *eyes widen as her eyebrows raise, interested, as a notification pops up from the Fly Pad* Guys! You have a new dare! *waves them over*

Pip: *face seems to be on the verge of crying as he looks up from his Fly Pad* W-W-What i-is it?

K.C.: *bites her lip, concerned* What have you been reading on your Fly Pad?

Pip: Nothing... *slowly keeps the Fly Pad in his backpack with a trembling wing*

Freddy: Is it a new dare? *smiles excitedly as he leaves the babies and runs over to the koala*

K.C.: Yup! *hands over the Fly Pad to the two of them* And it's for the two of you!

Freddy: *takes the Fly Pad* It's from @violet12105

Pip: *walks over and tries to peer at the Fly Pad as the flamingo lowers it* It says... *starts reading* I dare Pip and Freddy to play 7 minutes in heaven

Pip: *gives a small groan* Not that game! *angry little pout* Well, I suppose it's okay. I have been hiding in the closet for years now...

Freddy: Why won't you just come out? *groans, exasperated* It's simple enough!

Pip: *spits a bit* For you! Besides, I'm mostly straight, so it doesn't really matter... *shakes his head* Anyway, I suppose we should be entering a closet now

K.C.: Well, we don't have any nearby closets here that I'd be comfortable with you using, and I don't trust you to be at the Baby Pantry — *looks at Freddy as she says it* — or at the Toy Room *looks at Pip as she says it* After the — incident *bites her lips* So you two will be going to our Music Room *shakes her head* Just try not to make a racket, please

Freddy: Will do, K.C.! *nods his head vigorously as he enters the room*

Pip: Will do! *nods curtly as he enters the room*

K.C.: Remember! 7 minutes! I'll lock it! Good luck! *closes the door with a sly smile*

Pip: This is making me feel like we're travelling back and time to do something *frowns as he sits on the floor*

Freddy: So what do you want to do? *already starts pacing around the room*

Pip: I dunno... *shrugs*

Freddy: I know what you mean... *examines some maracas* We do spend a lot of time together already...

Pip: Not to mention have a lot of alone time already *rests his head on his flippers*

Freddy: *absentmindedly answers* Yup... *his wing gets close to touching a pair of cymbals*

Pip: Freddy, don't even think about it *sighs exasperatedly with a smile*

Freddy: Ngaw... *pouts as he returns to the middle of the room* I'm bored

Pip: So am I, Fredamingo *frowns* So am I... *reaches for his backpack*

Freddy: Don't even think of reading on your Fly Pad! *appears particularly disturbed with it*

Pip: But come on! *closes the backpack zipper again with a huff*

Freddy: If you get to read on your Fly Pad, then I can play with my cymbals and maracas *places his wings on his waist*

Pip: Why... *looks down at the ground grumpily*

Freddy: It's only fair! *frowns* We'll have to find something else to do!

Pip: Well, do you have any ideas? *looks unsure*

Freddy: Well, we can pretend that you murdered! *has a smile upon his face, way too happy for what he just said*

Pip: *eyes widen in fear* What?!

Freddy: I can be lying dead on the floor! *lies down on the floor with a happy smile as he says it*

Pip: Why... *shakes his head subtley*

Freddy: We can pretend you killed me! *finishes with a wide beam*

Pip: *shakes his head* I am not pretending I've killed anyone

Freddy: *raises his eyebrows* What would you do then?

Pip: *subtley rolls his eyes* Fine... *looke at the flamingo* Lie down

Freddy: Alright! *lies down with his eyes closed*

Pip: Should I show any evidence? *tilts his head to the side*

Freddy: No need *shakes his head subtley to keep up the act*

Pip: *after a few minutes, grows bored again* Fre—

K.C.: *muffled voice from outside the room* Times up!

Pip: *tries to smile, albeit a little nervously, as he looks at the door* Hey, K.C.!

K.C.: Hey! *realises the flaimgo is on the floor* What happened to Freddy?

Pip: He died... *shrugs awkwardly, looking down at the ground as he realises it sounded stupid, and adds as an afterthought* I killed him...

K.C.: *shakes her head* I know you love Freddy way too much to kill him, unless it's for the best of him, of course... *turns around* I'll be locking the room again as I head for mac and cheese if no one else wants to leave...

Freddy: *drops the act and immediately springs back up* What? No!

K.C.: *satisfied smile* I thought so... *starts walking out of the room again, calling over her shoulder* Well, did you guys have fun?

Pip: *rolls his eyes subtley* Depends on what your idea of 'fun' means...
