Author's Note: Well well, what a surprise! I must say, I didn't expect you guys to like this story. Since you did, and since so many of you seem worried about George's fate, I figured another chapter would be appreciated. Well, here it is guys! Oh, and you won't get another chapter if I don't get at least ONE more review. Not a threat, just a deal. Love ya!

George's Plight
George: (pulls on his cord and it comes off in his hand. He stares at the cord then looks behind him) HOLY CRAP!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Miss Marie Louise: *looks behind her* WHAT'S WRONG GEORGE?!
George: MY PARACHUTE BROKE, MADEMOISELLE!!
Miss Marie Louise: WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!
George: MY PARACHUTE BROKE!!
Miss Marie Louise: WHAT?!
George: MY PARACHUTE- *hits a tree, gets severely scratched, and is hanging from a branch by his parachute backpack* broke… *sigh* Today just isn't my day, is it? GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!!
Miss Marie Louise: *floats gently down to the ground beside George's tree* Hey George! What are you doing up there?
George: *through gritted teeth* I'm having a tea party. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I AM DOING?!
Miss Marie Louise: Wow George, that's a funny place to have a tea party! And you didn't even invite me! *pouts* You're not nice…
George: I AM NOT HAVING A TEA PARTY!! I'M STUCK IN THE TREE, MISS MARIE LOUISE!! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!!
Miss Marie Louise: *looks shocked* George DeSand! Being stuck in a tree and severely scratched is no excuse for rudeness! *folds arms and turns away* I'm not helping you until you apologize.
George: Miss Marie Louise! Help me down! It's becoming hard to breathe! (A/N: The straps of this particular parachute backpack fasten both around the arms, and buckle in front of the chest. They have slid so that George's arms are forced up above his head, and the chest strap is cutting into his chin. In case you didn't know, when a person's arms are forced above their head in that way, they can't breath very well because it cuts off air flow to the lungs. This is why George is having a hard time breathing.)
Miss Marie Louise: Nope! Nothing doing until you apologize.
George: *can no longer speak because of loss of air*
Miss Marie Louise: Well? I'm waiting!
George: *choking now* Sorry!
Miss Marie Louise: *turning around* Oh that's ok- GEORGE!! Why didn't you tell me you were choking?!
George: *gasping for air*
Miss Marie Louise: OH NO!! *attempts to climb the tree, but can't because she's not that strong* SHOOT!! HANG ON GEORGE!! *continues trying*
George: *slips out of the straps and falls in a undignified heap on the ground a ways away* Ow…
Miss Marie Louise: *is still trying to climb the tree* I'M COMING GEORGE!! JUST KEEP BREATHING!!
George: *walks up behind her* Uh… Miss Marie Louise? I'm alright now, I slipped out of the straps…
Miss Marie Louise: OH NO!! NOW YOU'RE HALLUCINATING GEORGE!! JUST HANG ON!! *actually manages to get one leg on a branch before falling again* CRAP!! *sees George standing behind her* GEORGE!! YOU'RE ALIVE!! *scrambles up and brushes herself off* Well, I must say, you gave me quite a fright.
George: Thank you for your wonderful rescue attempts. *kisses her hand*
Miss Marie Louise: *blushes*
George: ~Well, maybe she's done with her adventures now…~
Miss Marie Louise: Well, I suppose you can make it up to me by taking me to San Francisco…
George: *looks up sharply* Why?!
Miss Marie Louise: *innocently* Because I want to see the Golden Gate Bridge…
George: *sigh* All right then, come along. We'll go see the bridge.
************
Kenshin: *returns with an empty sake bottle from Hiko's room* I found one!
Aseku: WONDERFUL!! Hiei! We found a new bottle for you! You can spin now! *narrows eyes* Or else…
Hiei: You don't scare me.
Ren-Okye: Why not? She scares me…
Kurama: Ren-Okye! That's not polite!
Azdio: Oh that's alright, Kurama. Aseku knows that she scares everyone.
Kenshin: Well I don't know about these modern times, but back in MY time it was VERY rude to tell someone that they were scary… Honestly, manners have gone downhill…
Aseku: Oh wah your time. Spin the bottle Hiei.
Hiei: *glare* No.
Aseku: *threateningly* Don't make me come over there.
Hiei: *folds arms*
Azdio: Hiei, I swear, if you don't spin that bottle within the next ten seconds, I'm destroying all ice cream on the face of the planet!
Hiei: *eyes widen* Fine, but this is only for the sweet snow, remember that. *spins the bottle and it lands on Aseku*
Everyone: *collective gasp*
Hiei: *evil grin* All right then. Aseku, truth or dare?
Aseku: *defiantly* Dare.
Hiei: Excellent. Aseku, I dare you to…
What is Hiei's dare for Aseku? Why does Miss Marie Louise want to visit the Golden Gate Bridge? Is George in for more trouble? Will Aseku be brought down off her high horse? These questions and more will be answered in the next chapter of TRUTH OR DARE DILEMMA!! REVIEW!! Or else… (j/k!)
