Truth or Dare
Chapter 8: Button Mash
Previous ChapterApple Bloom screeched and stepped back, looking at the injured pony standing before them, her face and hooves covered in red, dark, blood. Scootaloo jumped up, screaming. Even though Diamond Tiara's nose wasn't that big, blood seemed to be sprouting out as if it was water, gushing out, staining the floor. Discord shrugged, picking up the blood and dumping it on Twist. Twist sighed again, trying to wipe it off herself.
"Jerks!" she screamed, covering her nose with her hooves.
"What the FLOCK Diamond Tiara!" called Featherweight, actually chuckling under his breath.
"Scootaloo! It was you! How could you!? It's my BIRTHDAY party!"
Scootaloo flew above Diamond Tiara, bickering with each other, blood spilling on the floor. Discord couldn't help but laugh at all the disharmony.
"Why did you hit me?" cried Diamond, trying to stop the blood flow without any success.
"Because you lied! Sweetie Belle and Button Mash were not having any sexual relationship. It was you who was!" exclaimed Scootaloo, her wings sticking out, Apple Bloom protectively standing behind her, her eyes filled with rage. But Discord laughed and said,
"We have to continue this game! It just got way more intense," he laughed, nearly falling out of the sofa, tears coming to his eyes.
"Yeah, let's continue." said Scootaloo, trying to wipe a small blood stain on her hooves with the carpet.
"Yeah!" called Apple Bloom.
But nopony wanted to continue. How could they? Diamond Tiara was bleeding and Sweetie Belle and Button Mash were just staring blankly at each other, their faces filled with fear. Sweetie Belle edged a little bit closer to Button Mash, biting her lip. She, along with every other colt and filly in the room, was afraid to continue. They didn't know what was coming up next, and they were totally worried. What would happen to Diamond? What had Scootaloo meant by saying that Diamond Tiara had been the one having a sexual relationship? Everypony was confused.
"Wait, we can't continue! I'm a mess!" exclaimed Diamond Tiara, motioning to her now blood-red dress, which smelled foul. She whined, and looked with anger in the direction of Sweetie Belle's friends. They both shrugged. She tried her best not to howl and scream and throw a fit.
"Okay! Fine! Game on! I guess I get to pick who goes next anyways," she said, tilting her head. Discord rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with excitement. Silver Spoon nervously looked around the room. She wondered who her best friend had had sex with. Had it felt good?
"Yes, you go next," said Button Mash.
"Fair enough," she said, swinging her tail and mane. She huffed loudly.
"Then who do you choose?" asked Cotton Cloudly, tired of asking the same question over and over for all these rounds. It was getting kind of annoying.
"I easily choose Button Mash,"
Button Mash stood up and faced the ferocious mare that stood in front of her. He was ready for anything.
"Dare. Truths are boring," he said, daring himself to cross the limit.
"Wise choice," said Diamond Tiara, licking her lips with anticipation. Button Mash took another step forward, his brow furrowed and eyes flickering with flames, ready to strike at any moment.
"Button Mash, I dare you to kiss Sweetie Belle. Right now. Right here. In front of every pony at this party of mine. NOW!"
Button Mash seemed to shrink a bit.
"What?" said Sweetie and Button at the same time.
"You heard me clear enough. Do it!" she ordered, pushing Button Mash against the unicorn filly, making both of them topple over. Sweetie Belle curled up into a tiny ball again. She blocked out everything, anything, that would or could disturb her.
"I am not kissing you Button Mash!" she squeaked, letting everypony see her large, green, fear-filled eyes.
Sweetie Belle squeaked again, and she fearfully looked into Button Mash's eyes.
"Sweetie, I have to," he said.
"Really? Can't you back out?"
Button Mash looked around the room, looking at everypony there. He wanted to kiss Sweetie Belle. He really did. But it seemed that she wanted otherwise. Button Mash took a deep sigh, knowing that this was the end of whatever he had even had with Sweetie Belle. Now, he had not even the slightest chance of becoming her very special somepony. That was all he had ever wanted. It really had been. But he had to back out, for her. Backing out meant having to kiss Sweetie Belle later anyways, so why bother? He sighed again, and looked into Diamond Tiara's eyes, begging for a chance. But of course, Diamond Tiara ignored him, and laughed with Silver Spoon.
"I back out. I can't do it. If she doesn't want to, I don't want to eith-"
Button Mash was interrupted by a sweet, tingling sensation on his lips. It felt like sunshine, rainbows, and love. It felt like he was the happiest colt alive. It felt like Sweetie Belle. It felt like love. And indeed, Sweetie Belle's mouth was on his, kissing him, her eyes gently closed as his were wide open with surprise. And he was even more stunned when he realized he was forcing his tongue to Sweetie Belle's making the moment even more extraordinary. Button Mash had finally completed the dare, to the amazement of the crowd. They all cheered with happiness, for Button and Sweetie, until they broke it up and they were blushing madly. The entire room had gone quiet, except for Twist which had accidentally continued clapping.
"And THAT end our game of truth or dare," said Diamond Tiara, smirking.
The crowd, confused, looked at Diamond Tiara.
"No!" said Apple Bloom.
"Yes!" said Silver Spoon, not anticipating another turn.
