"I wanna listen to scary stories." Pony slumped on the couch.
The gang was cooped up inside on a stormy October night with nothing to do. The power and signal was out so they had to use flashlights and candles that dimly lit the dark house. They couldn't even watch cartoons to pass the time.
Lightning flashed through to dark sky fill with rain and black clouds. Thunder boomed and shook the ground from it's powerful sound.
"I have nothing this time." Two confessed.
Everyone agreed silently.
"Ooh, wait here's a fun game." Two suggested.
"Nuh uh." Dallas shook his head, "No more of that truth or dare crap."
"No, not truth or dare!" Two said loudly, "It's both a game and story. We each say only one word, going around in a circle, to make a story. We go in order and say a word, adding onto the story."
Everyone looked at him with confusion.
"Okay wait." Two explained, "Um, for example, Johnnycake might say 'Once'. Then Dallas would say 'upon'. Then Pony would say 'A' and so on."
Everyone agreed and nodded.
"Who'll go first?" Johnny asked.
"Hm." Pony spoke, "I'll start I guess."
He cleared his throat.
"Once."
Next it was Steve's turn."
"Uh...the." Steve blurted.
"What?" Everyone looked at him with confusion.
"Why the hell did you say 'the'?"Darry questioned.
"What goes after 'the'?" Dallas laughed, "Once the end."
"I panicked okay!" Steve whined, "Go the other way."
"Once." Pony started.
"That." Johnny blurted out also.
Everyone became deadly silent.
"I panicked too!!!" Johnny confessed, "I don't do this stuff! Sorry, I got it now."
"Let's change up the order." Pony suggested.
"Yeah." Two agreed, "For once, I'm actually serious about something, huh. Okay who'll start?"
No one spoke up.
"I-I'll go." Johnny volunteered, clearing his throat, "...One."
Next went Two who sat next to him.
"...scary." Two added, acting scary and putting the flashlight under his face.
"Night." Darry said.
"There." Dallas said.
"Was." Soda said.
"A." Steve said.
"Group." Pony said.
"Of." Johnny said.
"Hoods." Two said with a proud smile.
"Who." Darry added.
"Told." Dallas said.
"Stories." Soda said.
"To." Steve said.
"Each." Pony said.
"Other." Johnny said.
Everyone smiled because the story was going surprisingly well.
"They." Two started.
"Were." Darry said.
"Telling." Dallas said.
"A." Soda said.
"Scary." Steve said.
"Story." Pony said.
"When." Johnny peeped.
"There." Two said with excitement.
"Was." Darry said lowly.
"A." Dallas merely added.
"Mysterious." Soda said in a mysterious tone.
"Noise!" Steve finished.
"Damn, this is going so well." Two whispered, unable to keep still.
"Shush!!" Everyone hissed at unison.
The thunder and lightning outside enhanced the story. You wouldn't be able to see anything in the dark house but the gang, their weak flashlights, and flickering candlelight. The howling wind and rain moved items, making it ever so eerie.
Everyone huddled a bit closer, they didn't look it but they were starting to get a little scared.
"They." Pony started with a gulp.
"Turned." Johnny said in a high voice.
"Around." Two whispered sinisterly.
"And." Darry said in a deeper voice.
"Suddenly!" Dallas said loudly, scaring Johnny and Pony a bit.
"Standing." Soda said in a quiet voice while he held onto a pillow for protection.
"Behind." Steve said nervously.
"Them." Pony said shakily.
"Was." Johnny barely managed to get it out.
"One..." Two smirked with anticipation.
"Big..." Darry said, looking around the room with worry.
"Dick!" Dallas ended with a mischievous smirk.
Everyone groaned loudly and yelled at Dallas.
"We was doin so good until you screwed it up!" Soda groaned.
"Sorry, I had to!" Dallas chuckled and scooted back from everyone yelling more at him.
"Gotta admit, that was pretty smooth." Two confessed, "I could've done that Aw."
"Don't take his side!" Pony grumbled, "It sounded like an actual scary story, thanks Dal."
"No problem." He said coolly.
Everyone kicked Dallas out of the game. Now he sits alone in the time out corner playing with dust.
