Ask or Dare T.O.T.S.!

There's Also a Line Between Friends and Lovers...

K.C.: *eyes widen quite tiredly as a notification pops up on the Fly Pad* Guys! There's another dare! *couldn't bring herself to even raise her arm and just sat there quite limply, tempted to just lie down*

Pip: *leaning against the nursery's walls already and looking up from reading on his Fly Pad, yawning* Who is it for?

K.C.: *checks the Fly Pad, lifting it a little bit for better vision* It's for you two

Freddy: *crawls out of the fake igloo* Who is it from?

K.C.: *bites her lips as she checks the Fly Pad again* It's from @GlichytheHedgehog *holds out the Fly Pad for one of them to take, not really caring who takes it anymore at all*

Freddy: *stands up and walks over to the koala, taking the Fly Pad* It says... *starts reading* I dare Pip and Freddy to sing "Crossing the Line" from Disney's "Tangled: the Series"

Pip: *perks up from reading on his Fly Pad, a little more energy settling in his eyes as he heard the dare* Boycott Disney!

K.C.: *giggles* Well, you can't really do that right now so you better do the dare and listen to the song before you sing

+*+ AFTER LISTENING TO THE SONG +*+

Pip. *starts out with a nice voice but not quite channeling the emotions yet as he holds his Fly Pad in his wings* This has to stop now
*shakes his head lightly as he sings and reads the lyrics* Whatever it is that you're going through
*couldn't help but sneak a look at the flamingo as the music flows through his headphones* We'll fix it together, me and you
*smiles a little bit* Just like we've always done

Freddy: *seems to have an easier time channeling the emotions* No! This has to stop now
*starts angry and shaky but ends up getting firmer* This thing where you think that you've been my friend
*takes a deep angry breath as he realises that it coukd actually apply to him considsring how condescending his penguin pal can be* And don't even hear how you condescend
*firm and cold tone* The way you've always done

Pip: *inpleading voice* Freddy, listen

Freddy: *speaks quickly as he actually faces away* I'm listening

Pip: *smiles a little bit as he sings* I know it isn't true

Freddy: *furrows his eyebrows lightly* Isn't it?

Pip: *mixes a voice of pleading and hopefulness* Just look into my eyes now

Freddy: *raises his eyebrows* Well?

Pip: *smiles hopefully* I know you feel it too

Freddy: *empathy flashes in his eyes* Perhaps I do

Pip: *pleading tone but a bit more hopeful* Freddy, listen

Freddy: *in a more angry and frustrated tone than before* I'm listening

Pip: *light gentle hopeful voice as he shakes his head* I swear it's not too late
*gets even more hopeful as he leans back* So before another line gets crossed
*clutches his flippers hopefully* And everything we've had is lost
*closes his eyes and sings gently*!Just... wait

Freddy: *eyes widen as he realises he himself does not want to wait any longer for his penguin pal to stop outshining him but tries to not make it obvious* Wait?
*furrows his eyebrows as he says in a firm tone, smiling at the back of his mind* No, I won't wait

Freddy: *still keeps his firm tone even if the lyrics confused him* There's a line between the winners and the losers
*takes a deep breath as he starts to understand* There's a line between the chosen and the rest *adds in a whisper* There's also a line between friends and lovers...
*furrows his eyebrows, singing with disatisfaction as he realises he did work hard, maybe even harder than some* And I've done the best I could
*tone starts getting more angry as he admitted to himself that he also didn't have much of a chance* But I've always known just where we stood
*sighs the lyrics hopelessly as he smiles with bittersweetness, realising it was true* Me here with the luckless
*looks subtley at the penguin pal with a desperate face* You there with the blessed

Freddy: *tone starts getting firmer* And that line between the beggars and the choosers
*frowns a little as his tone gets softer because the penguin pal actually let him ignore it* Is a line you've never let me quite ignore
*mixes a little more desperation into his voice as he remembers the number of times he tried to be recognised* How I've tried to jump that great divide
*frowns hopelessly as he realises it was true* But I've never got the chances you were given

Freddy: *tone starts getting more angry as he realised that some animals really didn't know how it felt* You don't know how much I've been denied
*couldn't help but smile in spite of himself* Well, I'm not being patient anymore

Freddy: *starts getting filled with a euphoria of empowerment* I'm crossing the line!
*singing starts getting a little more powerful* And I'm done holding back
*smiles even though he knew he could never do this* So look out, clear the track
*allows himself to get filled with hope anyway* It's my turn!

Freddy: *starts to frown a little bit as he realises he could never do this* I'm taking what's mine!
*shakes his head as he allows himself to be filled with hopefulness once again* Every drop, every smidge
*determination flashes in his eyes* If I'm burning a bridge
*smiles wider* Let it burn
*looks up from the Fly Pad* But I'm crossing the line!

Freddy: *tries to look at his penguin pal but couldn't bring himself to because he knew he would be filled with guilt* And for us, if we're over
*voice starts getting softer as his eyes widen* That's fine
*beams* I'm crossing the line
