“Did you know that the great philosopher Aristotle invented the game ‘Truth or Dare’?” Yamazaki asked Sakura as they gathered into a circle.
“Hoeee?”
“He had such difficulty finding the truth, so he always picked dare!” Yamazaki said sadly, crossing his arms and nodding. “I model the great philosopher, for there is no great truth,” he told her.
Sakura looked perplexed, but Chiharu shook her head. “Oyyyy, Yamazaki-kun, at MY birthday party…!”
“Didn’t you want to know that, Chiharu-chan?” Yamazaki looked deeply offended.
Chiharu rolled her eyes and laid back on one of her giant plush toys. “Well, Yamazaki, I guess that means you go first in truth or dare.”
”I pick dare!” Yamazaki said boldly. He’d kissed girls, rolled in the snow in his underwear, recited the alphabet backwards… yep, he was ready for anything! He was the Truth or Dare master!
Chiharu grinned an evil grin. She had a most diabolical plan. “I dare you, Yamazaki Takashi…”
Everyone leaned in anxiously as she paused.
“To tell nothing but the truth for an entire day!!!”

Yamazaki limped into class the next day, looking wounded. His black eyes were open and downcast.
”Are you all right, Yamazaki-kun?” Naoko asked her friend. “This whole no-story thing. It must be hard on you.”
He opened his mouth, but a glare from Chiharu had him look down and mumble demurely, “No, I’ve had a vicious attack from a demon.”
“WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?” Chiharu pounced on his neck and shook it.
“I’m referring to the dog I passed on the way to school that attacked me…! Chiharu-chan!!”
”Oh, I see! Am I just a DOG to you then!?! A *female* dog!? Why, I’d…!!”
Yamazaki was blue. He shook his head, spluttering for breath.
~~
Yamazaki was blue in another way. He couldn’t participate when Eriol explained at the playground why black tops weren’t called gray tops (it had to do with the political affiliations of the Romans) or tell any stories about his alien friends to the kindergartners or anything. He kicked at the black top and watched the clock. Only a half hour to go. He had stayed quiet all day. He hoped Chiharu would never do something like this ever again.
He barely looked up when Chiharu approached him. “Yamazaki-kun,” she said, sitting next to him on the bench.
“What, Chiharu-chan…”
She put something heavy into his hand. He looked and saw it was the latest book about alien landings in Japan, plus a batch of homemade cookies. “Chiharu-chan?”
“Yamazaki-kun, I like the real you better. It might not tell the truth so much, but that’s honestly how you are. I don’t like this pretend you who’s always sad and who doesn’t say anything fun.” Chiharu wrapped her arms around him. “I’m so sorry…”
Yamazaki let her hug him for a moment before a smile blossomed onto his face, making his eyes squint shut. “I’d better start heading to the nurse’s office right after I eat those cookies of yours! I will be able to get emergency assistance much faster that way!”
“WHY YOU!!!” Chiharu tackled him, but he was laughing hysterically now. He wiped tears from his eyes and looked Chiharu straight in the eye.
“I love you, Chiharu…!”
”Is that a lie now!? I can’t believe you! Yamazaki Takashi!!”

”What an adorable couple,” Tomoyo commented to Sakura, catching them in a pan over Sakura’s playground activities.
“Are Chiharu-chan’s cookies really dangerous then? He still has fifteen minutes of truth,” Sakura fretted. “I just had one…!”
