Daycare Distaster: Truth or Dare (CYOA)
#1 of Daycare Disaster
Hunter lands himself a job at a daycare for gifted, magical, cubs. It should be an easy enough job, right?
Daycare Disaster (1) Truth or Dare
Hunter's heart fluttered as his father pulled into the parking lot of the daycare center. The teenage wolf had been dreading this day for a week now ever since finding out that he would be working at Perryton's Daycare for Gifted Cubs for the summer. Ideally the 16-year-old would have spent his summer hanging out with his friends, but his father insisted that he got a job, and when he didn't apply to any himself, he soon found out that his dad had applied to just about every job within a 50-mile radius. As Hunter stepped out of the his father's car, a dinged up pickup truck that was provided by the construction company that his father worked at, he gave his dad a frown. However, his father only gave him a thumbs up, "Alright, Hunter, I'll be back to pick you up at the end of your shift," he said quickly, already putting the truck in reverse as he didn't want to be late getting to his own job. And before Hunter could even give a single complaint his father was speeding away.
The teenage wolf took a minute to gather himself so that he at least looked presentable, and then started walking down the cement pathway towards the daycare. As he walked, Hunter cursed to himself silently. Originally none of the jobs that his father had applied to replied so he had been expecting a fun filled summer. However, after arriving home on the last day of school his father handed him the acceptance letter. Once the wolf finally reached the front door his thoughts were brought back to the present as he turned the doorknob and walked inside the daycare for "gifted cubs" whatever that meant.
Upon entering the building Hunter was a bit confused. There was no one at the receptionist desk, "Have I come at the wrong time?" he thought to himself as he walked up to the desk. Instead of someone being there to greet him he only found a note addressed to him which read,
Dear Hunter,
We are excited to have you working at Perryton's Daycare for Gifted Cubs.
Sorry that no one is here to help you right now, our last employee quit just yesterday so you'll have to figure things out as you go. But don't worry; there are instructions in the kitchen along with a schedule.
Sincerely,
Jenny
Hunter was incredulous. Not only was this a job he didn't want to do, but he would also have to do it alone? "Well that's just fantastic, I get to take care of some dumb cubs all by myself" he said aloud. Trying to brush off his dissatisfaction Hunter walked into the daycare area behind the desk and closed the door behind him. To Hunter's surprise there were only two cubs in total, originally having expected the place to be filled with children, their eyes now fixated on the newcomer. Soon one of the cubs, a fox that looked to be the smaller of the two, walked up to Hunter and greeted him energetically. "Hello Mr. New Guy!" the fox exclaimed happily, his eyes full of excitement. However, before Hunter even had a chance to respond to the greeting, the cub was tugging on his arm, beckoning him towards the tiger who was playing with some letter blocks, although unlike normal blocks, these seemed to be floating a bit off the ground, although Hunter was too distracted to notice. When the two finally reached the center of the room, the fox sat down on the carpeted floor. Before the cubs had a chance to interrupt, Hunter introduced himself, "Hey!" he said, trying to sound enthusiastic, "My name is Hunter, and I will be taking care of you guys over the summer!"
Although the fox, whose nametag read "Toby" still seemed as happy as ever, the other, a tiger named Samantha, seemed less than thrilled. The first to finally speak up was the tiger, who looked at Hunter with uncaring eyes, "Of course they hire a mutt," she blurted aloud earning herself a chuckle from the fox beside her who snickered a bit. This caused Hunter to frown, "Actually I'm a wolf," he tried to explain, but Samantha didn't seem to care as she started rearranging some of the wooden blocks. Within a couple of seconds she had spelt out the word "SIT" with the blocks. Hunter wasn't too amused by the word and he was about to scold Samantha, however before he could he suddenly felt an intense compulsion to sit down, his legs now aching a bit, and in short time he sat down. Hunter didn't think too much about what had just happened until he saw the tiger stifling a laugh as she looked at him. He wasn't sure what was so funny, until he looked over himself, wondering if he had a stain on his shirt or something, but then he finally noticed it. He had indeed sat down, however, he was sitting similar to how a dog might, his knees on the ground and his hands firmly planted before him. Realizing this he immediately shifted himself into a proper sitting position, not entirely sure what had just happened.
Shaking off the weird feeling he spoke up again, "So," he said, pausing to consider what he actually wanted to say, "What do you guys want to do?" Unsurprisingly, Toby was the first to respond, waving his right arm in the air wildly, "Oh oh I know! Let's play a game!" the fox shouted loudly, causing Samantha to hiss in response as she covered her ears. Hunter chuckled a bit, finding the orange and black cat's reaction to be a bit humorous. "Okay then, what kind of game do you all want to play?" he inquired.
The fox again was the first to respond, or would have been had Samantha not reached across and held his muzzle shut, "How about a game of truth or dare?" she suggested, which seemed to get Toby's approval as well as he nodded his head in agreement. Hunter shrugged, "Sure that sounds fine," he said indifferently, not seeing much problem playing such an innocent game. Although before they began Samantha added a rule to the game, "If you refuse to do the truth or dare, you must forfeit your next turn, and the next person to ask you something gets to choose whether it is a truth or dare." Before Hunter could protest, Toby asked the first question, "Hunter... truth or dare." Not too worried about what the cubs would ask Hunter naturally answered "Truth." The fox's brow furrowed for a second, searching for a question, "Okay, what is your favorite type of porn?" he said aloud. Hunter went wide-eyed at the question, "P-pass!" the wolf stammered. There was no way he would answer such a question, how the hell did the fox even know what porn was!
In short time Samantha took her turn, "Hunter, I dare you to..."
