Paul: Are.

Paul: You.

Paul: Going.

Paul: To.

Paul: Explain.

Dawn: I agree with Paul on that one. We really need to get started.

Teari: Alright, so...

Teari: ...What do we want to go over first?

Everyone: *face palm*

Tracey: How about going over exactly where we are? I mean, like...seriously...

Teari: Where we are? We're at my Truth or Dare Fortress of Doom...

Teari: ...Where we will be locked in...

Teari: ...And forced to do these things called...

Teari: ...Truths...

Teari: ...And Dares...

Ash: Well, no dah!

Misty: Come on, Teari! Even Ash already knew that!

Ash: HEY!

Teari: Fine! You explain the rules then!

Misty: I don't know the reason why we're here!

Ash: To play Truth or Dare with Teari Howl of course!

Teari: Come on, Misty! Even Ash knows why we're here!

Ash: I'm feeling so attacked right now!

Misty: ...Hmph...

Teari: That's what I thought.

Teari: Now, where were we?

Tracey: These things called Truths or Dares...

Teari: Oh yes, thank you Tracey!

Teari: You are now my child.

Everyone: 0_0

Teari: As a joke...

Teari: You know...

Misty: *smirks*...Sure sure, whatever you say Teari...*sarcastic stalkerish voice*
A/N: Sorry, don't know any better way to describe it :'(

Teari: HEY! What's THAT supposed to mean!?

Drew: Nice one, Misty!

Misty: *acknowledges Drew with a sly smirk before ignoring to reply to Teari*

Misty: It means what you think it means, TEARI!

Tracey: GUYS, THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!

Teari/Misty: *instantly shuts up*

Brock: *walks back from kitchen*

Everyone: ...

Everyone: ...

Everyone: ...

Everyone: ...

Brock: ...

Brock: ...What happened in here?

Dawn: *whispers to Brock* Misty was complaining about how Teari was explaining the rules by saying that even Ash knew what she was talking about.

Dawn: *still whispering* Then Teari asked her how'd she do it and when Misty said she didn't know why we're here, Ash said that he did and Teari mimicked Misty, making her shut up.

Dawn: *whispering* Then Teari asked herself about where she was, so Tracey told her. She thanked him and then said that Tracey is now her child, then Misty made a dirty joke about it.

Dawn: *Do I even have to say it at this point?* So then they got mad at each other and were about to start fighting until Tracey yelled for them to stop.

Dawn: *GASP*

Dawn: *exhale*

Brock: ...

Everyone: ...

Brock: ...K

Teari: Okay, cool! Oo! Wait! Idea! Tracey?

Tracey: *scared face* W-what?..

Teari: I know we've only been over the drafts a couple of times, but how do you feel about Alive...or...whatever name it turns out to be...joining us in Truth or Dare?

All other characters: ?????

Tracey: Oh, *relieved face* sure! That sounds like fun!

All other characters: ?????????

Teari: Good... *smirks*

Paul: So wait, her name is actually Alive?

Dawn: Yeah, what's wrong with it?

Paul: It's literally the condition of having "life".

Dawn: So, mines a time of the day.

May: Mines the name of a month!

Drew: We know, June.

May: IT'S NOT JUNE! IT'S MAY! M-A-Y! MAY! Get it right for once GRASSHEAD!

May: Anyway, my name is also very similar to Max's name.

Teari: *cheerfully* Yeah, it's only one letter off! :D

Teari: And "x" and "y" are right next to each other in the alphabet! :D

May: *awkwardly*...yeah...that...

Teari: My name is literally just "Teri" misspelled on purpose ;3

Teari: ...Cause... :/

Teari: ...reasons... :\

Teari: It's actually something I came up with a long time ago. I think I came up with the name one summer night at Girl Scout Camp...

Rose: #Truth

Everyone else: Who are you!?

Teari: She's @heromupkip297 , and she's also my sister...

Rose: #Truth

Paul: Does she only talk in hashtags?

Rose: No-p-e! :3 *popping the "p"*

Teari: So yeah...I was originally obsessed Monster High at the time, and I was trying to come up with my own Werewolf character...so...yeah...Teari Howl everyone!

Rose: #Truth

Teari: Yep...that's the truth...

Ash: Come on, what's your real name!

Teari: I can't say it...but my real name kinda shows up in the anime, like, 3 times...... :/

Everyone: ...

Everyone: ...

Iris and Cilan: *walks back in the main room with no sign of crippling depression*

*Dawn fills them in with what has happened*

Everyone: ...

Everyone: ...

Teari: ...My point exactly...

Rose: :/

Misty: ...Well, both mine and Ash's names are air particles...or...you get what I mean...

Ash: Yeah...

Teari/Rose/Brock/Tracey: ALL THE MORE REASON TO SHIP YOU TWO!!

Iris: Right?!

Dawn: Yeah!

Misty: *blushes* WELL! YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH ROOM TO TALK, BROCK!

Brock: Look, I'm in the same boat with you on that one.
Mist-y = Water type Pokémon
B-rock = Rock type Pokémon...

Teari: Then there's Cilan's name that similar to his brothers! ^_^

Cilan: I guess so...

Tracey: .......Well...

Everyone: *turns attention to Tracey*

Tracey: ...I don't know if you've noticed or not, but both my first and last name is a pun of my Pokémon occupation...

Everyone: ...?

Tracey: TRACE-y... SKETCH-it...

Teari: Oh! I get it!

Teari: Wait?... I already knew that! Lol!

Rose: Yeah, L-

Teari: SHUSH!

Ash: I still don't get it.

Misty: *thinks* Oh my Arceus, you're still so dense...

Tracey: ...Ugh...

Teari: Did you just groan at your own pun?

Tracey: *blushes* No!

Teari: Are you sure?

Misty: I

Tracey: Yes I'm sure!!

Misty: SHIP

Teari: Then what did you groan at?

Tracey: *gets angry* I was groaning in frustration!!

Misty: IT!

Ash: Mist, will you shut up already.

Misty: Why should I ASH?!

Ash: Because

Misty: BECAUSE WHY!?

Ash: Because... you're starting to act like you're sisters when they're shipping us...

Misty: ...

Misty: ...

Misty: ...You got a good point there...

Tracey: *whispers to Teari*...I

Misty: ...WAIT! Did you call me MIST?! I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!

Teari: *whispers to Tracey* ...SHIP

Ash: Sorry Mis...?

Misty: *glare*

Ash: ...ty?

Tracey/Teari: *says in unison*...IT!

Misty/Ash: *shouts in unison* HEY!

Brock/May/Drew/Dawn/Cilan/Iris: *laughs super hard*

Teari/Tracey/Rose: *tries to catch breath, but can't because of so how darn hilarious it is*

Paul: *holds back laughter and regains his Ice Cube attitude*

Teari: OKAY! AND THAT'S A WRAP FOR THE FIRST NON-ROUND OF TRUTH OR DARE! AND WE STILL COULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE RULES! ANYWHO, AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER, THERE'LL BE A LEADER BOARD! WHAT IT JUDGES ON, WE WILL NEVER KNOW!

≈Leader Board≈

1. Pokeshipping
2. Tracey X Teari
3. Wishfulshipping
4. Ikarishipping
5. Contestshipping

Tracey: Um...Teari, I think you might want to check that again...

Teari: TRACEY X TEARI!!... MISTY!

Iris: Um, how did we get 3rd, er, 2nd?

Teari: When you went to go check on Cilan when he fell into crippling depression! ^_^

Cilan: I hate you.

Dawn: No, the real question is how did WE beat CONTEST!?

Teari: Simple.

Paul/Dawn: How?

Teari: 1) Dawn, you giggle around Paul so much, it should be suspicious. And 2) Paul, when Dawn was whispering to Brock, your face read jealousy.

Dawn: Aw, how sweet!

Paul: How, you giggled.

Dawn: Yeah, but you were jealous! And that's so adorable!

Paul: Am I allowed to escape yet?

Everyone (especially Dawn/Teari/Rose): NO!

Paul: Pfft, whatever... -_-

Teari: ALRIGHT GUYS! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE AND GIVE US SOME TRUTHS AND DARES FOR OUR PEPS! ALSO, FOR MISTY'S SAKE, COME UP WITH A SHIP NAME FOR TRACEY AND I!

UNTIL NEXT-wait! Where's-

Rose: Don't worry, Teari! I'll get him!

Rose: *grabs Paul by the back if his shirt*

Rose: *tosses him back inside, off of the windowsill he was escaping through*

Paul: Ouch...

Paul: *whispers* ...that actually hurt...for once...

Teari: *clears throat* Anyway...as I was saying...

UNTIL NEXT TIME!

Rose: BYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone: *hands over their ears*

Ash: *whining* That hurt worse than Misty's mallet.

Rose: Hehe... :3

Teari: Remember those truths and dares! I want a good mix of each! Teari Howl't!
