Kevin tenses when the virtual bottle points at him, again the words “truth” and “dare” flashes back and forth on the screen before the word “TRUTH” in large bold letter glows on the screen.
“Kevin, what did you enjoy the most when you were a kid, but keep it a secret because it’s to embarrassing,” the mechanical voice asks, “you have ten seconds to answer truthfully,” the voice then says, a big “10” appearing on the screen, which begins to flash and change to a “9”, then a “8”.
“You better hurry, or do you want something about you transformed,” Rick asks.
Kevin stays silent, but the others notice the teen’s fill with fear, “it… it’s to embarrassing,” he finally mumbles.
“Zero! Time’s up,” the voice chimes in, “sorry, Kevin, but rules are rules! As punishment for not answering the question, something about you will now change!”
Kevin tenses, first nothing seems to happen, but then he feels a weird tingle run through his body, causing him to shiver, “that felt weird,” he mumbles.
“What did,” the others ask.
“I felt a tingle, almost like pins and needles, run through my body,” Kevin replies.
“Usually that indicates that a change is about to happen,” Rick says, “do you or your body feel any different than before?”
Kevin frowns, “not really,” he says, then his eyes widen, “wait! I do feel something different!”
“What is it,” the others ask curiously.
Kevin grimaces, “it’s… my tailbone,” he says, “I… I can feel it… growing! It… it’s pushing again my skin,” the 15-year-old then winces, “now it’s… pushing against… the waistband of my jeans! I… I think… I think I am growing a… t-tail!”
The others watch as Kevin reaches back into his pants, their eyes then widen when Kevin pulls out what appears to be a furless long tail, the tip wriggling like a worm.
“Whoa,” the others say, “you DO have a tail!”
“Can… are you able to… you know… control it,” Rick asks.
Kevin, staring in disbelief at his tail, “um… let… let me try,” he says, letting his tail flop out of his hand. The teen then concentrates and all eyes widen when the tail suddenly begins to wag back and forth, “whoa! That feels… weird,” Kevin exclaims, “I wonder as what animal I’ll end up as. SHOULD I continue to refuse either telling the truth or doing a dare!”
“You know,” Kyle says, “I personally think the tail looks good on you!”
“You think?”
“Ya, I really do,” Kyle says, smiling.
“We all do, Kevin,” the others say, “it’s super cute!”
Kevin blushes, rubbing the back of his head, looking down at his tail, he then smiles, “thanks, guys,” he says, his tail again wagging, “this will take a while to get used to,” he then says.
“Let’s continue,” Rick says and pushes the continue button and the bottle once again spins, then stopping, pointing directly at… .
