Ask or Dare (OC Edition)

Genetics

Dare submitted by Oo_Capric0rn_oO

Manta: Ooh, a dare for Vixen.

Vixen: I hope it's not like the one Dewpelt got.

Vixen, I dare you to tell Mosspaw that you're his real mother.

Vixen: Oh no. That might be worse than the one Dewpelt got.

Manta: Your problem, not mine.

Vixen: Okay, where is he?

Manta: Probably with his actual mother.

Vixen: If this is how I die...

*Mosspaw and Nightpaw wrestling by themselves*

Vixen: *walks up to them* Hey Mosspaw, where's Duskwing?

Mosspaw: *struggling underneath Nightpaw* She went hunting with Clearwing. Why, do you need to talk?

Vixen: Uh, kinda. Has she told you the truth yet?

*Mosspaw and Nightpaw freeze*

Nightpaw: What truth?

Vixen: Duskwing isn't your real mother.

Mosspaw: *blinks in confusion*

Nightpaw: Of course she is! I look just like her!

Vixen: I'm not talking to you, Nightpaw, I'm talking to Mosspaw.

Mosspaw: *getting very nervous* How do you know? You could be lying! Clearwing says you should never lie.

Vixen: I know because I am your real mother.

Mosspaw: *stares* What?

*Night paw pats Mosspaw sympathetically*

Mosspaw: That makes no sense. I look nothing like you.

Vixen: Genetics is a mysterious thing.

*Nightpaw in the background asks what genetics is. No one listens*

Mosspaw: Duskwing says that I look like my father.

Vixen: Well, you do.

Nightpaw: *jumps up* Can you tell us more about our father? We don't know who he is and Duskwing won't tell us.

Mosspaw: *kinda freaking out* So I never knew my father and my mother at the same time?

Vixen: *regreting everything* Um, I prefer not to talk about your father as well. He was... Not nice.

Nightpaw: Like a bad guy? Was he a clan leader?

Mosspaw: If you are my mother why wouldn't you come sooner? And why did we live with Duskwing?

Vixen: It was for your safety. I didn't want you living as a rogue. And I heard that Duskwing had just had a kit, so I asked her to take care of mine too.

Mosspaw: That doesn't sound like Duskwing to me....

Nightpaw: Wow. So are we even real brothers?

Vixen: Probably not?

*Clearwing and Duskwing return from hunting*

Clearwing: *drops two mice* Hello, Mossppaw and Nightpaw! We're back.

Nightpaw: *runs up to them* Guesswhatguesswhatguesswhatguesswhat!

Duskwing: Oh no.

Nightpaw: Me and Mosspaw aren't brothers!

Duskwing: Oh, this again? I though we resolved this-

Nightpaw: No, because Vixen is his real mother!

Duskwing: *stares at Vixen* She's what?

Nightpaw: She said so herself.

Vixen: Hi.

Clearwing: And you believe her?

Nightpaw: *stops bouncing and ponders in thought* Uh.

Vixen: *trying to mouth to Duskwing and Clearwing* It's a prank!

Mosspaw: *curled up in a ball* I don't understand anything anymore!

Clearwing: Oh, Mosspaw, don't worry. I was there when you were born. Vixen's just trying to mess with you.

Vixen: Yeah, I'm sorry Mosspaw. It was just a prank. You've got one of the best moms and aunts that any one could want.

Duskwing: You should probably go.

Vixen: Yeah, I'll go.
