Look, this chapter contains a very minor spoiler for my "Immortal" series. You have been warned!

Round 7

The only sound in the warehouse was 'People Like Us' by Kelly Clarkson blaring from my iPod, which was hooked up to a mini loudspeaker. I, of course, was dancing awkwardly and singing along, blissfully unaware that all of my prisoners were watching me.

That is, until Kowalski cleared his throat loudly.

Turning swiftly to my victims, I blushed and turned by iPod off. I clasped my hands together, "Anyway, forget about what you just saw. Because," I smirked wickedly, "I have dares!" As predicted, I got several groans in response.

Skipper complained, "Aww, but we were having a nice break there. Did you really have to update?"

I nodded and answered, "Yeah. I realised the other day just how long it's been since I updated," I turned to the camera, "I'm so terribly sorry everyone, but I've been a bit sick. I caught a cold. Don't worry though, I'm fine now."

Private smiled, "That's nice. I'm glad you're feeling better."

I smiled back, "Thanks," I glared at Skipper, "At least someone is concerned about me." Grinning evilly, I announced, "Dare time!" I walked over to computer, and cleared my throat. "Alright, thankfully there's only a few here. The first set is from our old friend Lilzoey107! She says she has dares for Kowalski and Rico" I said.

The two penguins glanced at me, "What?" they exclaimed in fright at the same time.

I nodded, and then continued. "She says that you, Kowalski, have to destroy all of your inventions," I rubbed my hands together malevolently, "Or else I get to torture you, and I quote, 'the most horrifying way'. Oh, and you, Rico, have to look at picture called 'Peace man…and love' by Luxblack."

Kowalski did not immediately reply. Instead, he simply stood there, and I could hear him muttering to himself about his options. Finally, he looked at me with sadness in his eyes, and pulled out a random invention from nowhere. He turned to Rico, "Chainsaw please" he said.

The crazed penguin coughed one up, gave it to him, and then waddled over to my laptop. I clicked on a PoM picture titled 'Peace man…and love' and covered my mouth, trying to stifle my laughter.

Rico, however, simply stared at it. He was immediately drawn to Miss Perky…in particular, the certain place on her where his flipper was positioned. Then, he screamed girlishly and slammed the laptop screen down. In his eyes, I saw the look of a mentally scarred penguin.

I turned to Kowalski, who had his eyes slammed shut as he brought down the chainsaw on the invention. It exploded shortly after, leaving the tall penguin to gaze longingly at the place where it had been. Brokenly, he whispered, "One down…five thousand nine hundred and twenty to go."

Mockingly, I cooed, "Aww, does the baby miss his toys?" However, when I was given a disturbingly hateful glare from Kowalski, I quickly apologised.

Lifting my laptop screen back up, I read the other review, before saying, "Moving on. This set of dares is from Pitch Black Fan. Firstly, thank you, my dear, for the compliment, and secondly…wonderful dares!"

Blowhole questioned, "Um, who exactly are they for?"

I giggled, "Oh Blowy, I'm so glad you asked that. There for you!" I answered.

He gulped, "Wh-What?" he stammered.

I explained, "Pitch Black Fan says that you have to tell us what your first name is…and then tell us who you have a crush on."

The dolphin sighed, "Fine" he grumbled. Taking a deep breath, Blowhole confessed nervously, "My…my first name is Francis, and I have a crush…on…on Genie."

Marlene asked, "Who's Genie?"

I smiled, and answered, deliberately dragging out her name, "He means Genevieve."

The otter questioned, "Who's she, exactly?"

"She's from my 'Immortal' series" I answered.

Skipper commented between roars of laughter, "Who…cares…who she…is? Blowhole's…first…name is…Francis!"

The bottlenose glared at him, "Keep laughing while you can, pen-gu-in" he threatened.

Sensing the building animosity and tension in the room, I changed the subject, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to end it here, because I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry if it's not as good as usual, but I still don't feel well." I took a deep breath, and turned to the camera, my smile disappearing. "I would like to take a very serious moment, before we part. I would like to do a shout-out to my boyfriend, who is in hospital at the moment. He's sick, but he's stable, which is good. I hope you get better honey, and I miss you. I'll call you when I can."

Marlene sighed dreamily, "Aww, that was so sweet Babette" she cooed.

I nodded, "Thanks" I replied.
