Me: Uh huh...)

Mary glared over at the spot Alex had just vacated, still bright red. Then she glared at Tennyson who was laughing silently. The boy gulped and looked over at Wiggins, who made a face. "Truth..."

"Beewhirr, beep burroop!!!"

Wiggins turned an even brighter shade of red than Mary and Frodo had and muttered something about Tennyson being completely unfair.

"Go on, Wiggins, tell everyone why you and Jacey walked out of the cafeteria at the school dance." Deidre had a huge grin on her face, as if she already knew.

Wiggins glared at her, but took a deep breath and said, "We uh...had a fight...yeah...uh..." he looked around at all the disbelieving faces, and said in a smaller voice, "And then we made up..."

"How," Deidre said, pouncing on the question.

Wiggins shook his head and grinned. "Ah ah ah, Deidre, I already answered my question...now, Truth or dare?"

Deidre made a face. "Dare, 'cause I did truth last time."

"Okay, then, I dare you, to go look in that closet and see what those two are up to."

Deidre made a face. "I'll be right back..." She stood up and walked off from the table, then came back smiling, a large man with a monkey on his shoulder following. "Look, it's a younger version of Greyson! I told the monkey I loved her by the way."

"Yeah, I'm touched," the simian said sarcastically.

"Doctor Slate, what exactly is going on here?" Donovan said with anger, "You are supposed to be uh...well..uh...doing whatever it is you're supposed to be doing!"

Slate rolled her eyes. "I am....I'm conducting an...experiment on people's reactions...so that I can...upgrade Rusty's emotion grid..."

"And how much money is this research costing?"

"Not a penny!" Mary said with a grin, "We're all reluctant volunteers."

"Oh, well, carry on then." Donovan walked out, while Jenny, after jumping from his shoulder shot everyone in the room a suspicious look. "I've got my eye on you." She then turned and followed Donovan.

Mary shivered suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Frodo asked, actually showing concern.

"Oh, I was just remembering this fic I and a couple other girls wrote. It was called the Dating Game and..." She shivered again. "Thank goodness that was only a fic..."

"Okay, Inspector," Deidre said, after a moment of silence with everyone staring at Mary as though she were nuts, (which of course she was), "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare," Lestrade responded immediately.

"I dare you to....kiss Moriarty!" Deidre said with a giggle.

Lestrade shot her a glare, but stood up and walked over to the tall Victorian. She kissed him on the lips, and to everyone's surprise, (except Mary who had a disgusted expression on her face) it lasted for quite a while.

"Okay, okay, that's enough," Mary said, "The closet is already occupied...when are they going to come out anyway?"

Lestrade broke away from Moriarty and blushed a deep red then took her seat. She turned to Hunter, who was staring at Slate with a glazed look in his eyes. "Hey, you, truth or dare?"

"Hmm? Oh, dare...."

*blinks* Hmm...running out of dare ideas....and truth ideas....oh well....I liked that...a new color...hehe...and Lestrade and Moriarty are trying to uh...get Mary and Frodo together...because they obviously hate each other.
Pippin: *cough* yeah right *cough*
Frodo: Pippin, why don't you go do something?
