A/N: Yeah, I decided to revise parts of this chapter. BunniGirl (thank you!) pointed something out to me, and that was that Arnold caved into the dare too quickly. After reading that review, I realized it was true. So thanks for pointing that out. (: I hope you all enjoy the revised chapter.
Suddenly, Arnold began to feel unsure about this party. The look on the girls' faces made him think that he was about to be dragged into something, and he didn't like that feeling at all. "Uh, what exactly do you have planned?"
"You'll see very soon." Lila said, and smiled. "We'll just have to wait until everyone else gets here…it's too good for them to miss out on."
Arnold looked at Rhonda, who seemed to be in deep thought. "Rhonda, you okay?"
The tall girl smirked. "Yeah, I'm just fine." She chuckled a little bit. "I'm just thinking about how I wish the other guests would get here soon."
"It's that good? I'm getting a bad feeling about this, you guys…"
"Oh, don't be silly. Once you here about what we have planned, I'm sure you'll be just as excited as us, if not more." Lila giggled girlishly. "Don't worry so much."
(A/N: I'm just going to skip to when the other guests arrive…I hope that's okay. I just think it'd be better if I didn't drag it out too much.)
"All right, you guys! I hope you all don't think this game is ever so childish, but we have a lot of ideas lined up." Lila smirked. "Who's up for a cruel game of Truth or Dare?"
There were a bunch of scattered responses, some more excited than others, but nevertheless, the majority of the crowd seemed anxious to see what Lila and Rhonda had in mind.
"Perfect." Rhonda smiled. "Remember the rules, everyone. If you pick truth, you can not avoid the question, and you can certainly not lie. Also, if you pick dare, there is no way to back down from it." Everyone nodded at this, agreeing to what she was saying. "Okay. Who should I pick first…?"
"I think Arnold should!" Lila spoke up. "He's been waiting ever so patiently all night to find out what we have planned for him. It would be so unfair to keep him waiting any longer."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Her friend laughed. "So Arnold, truth or dare?"
Arnold was now at a loss, since he had no idea what to pick. He did know, however, that he wanted to avoid their plan as much as possible, but he knew that there was probably a 50/50 chance that he would get caught in their trap. Picking randomly, without really thinking that long, he decided, "dare."
"Great choice." Rhonda smiled widely. "Arnold, I dare you to write a fake love note to Helga G. Pataki."
The whole room burst into laughter, but Arnold wasn't. "Are you crazy? That's just mean! I can't do it."
"Oh, come on. Think about how hilarious it would be!" The red-haired girl whined.
"It wouldn't be funny at all, Lila. How is playing with any girls' emotions funny? I'm sure if you got a fake love note from a guy, you wouldn't be laughing."
"This isn't about me, Arnold. This is about her. She's been treating people like crap forever. Especially you. This girl desperately needs a taste of her own medicine. She needs to be put into her place!"
"Lila, two wrongs don't make a right! You're saying I should stoop down to her level? She hasn't even done things to anyone that are half as bad as this."
"Oh come on Arnold, you always complain about her, man. This is your shot to one up her." Gerald tried to convince.
"Forget it. If you all are that anxious to do it, find someone else. But I will not be the one to do it."
"Aw, is Arnold afraid?" Harold taunted.
"I'm not afraid, Harold. It's just not the right thing to do." Arnold sighed….all of these kids were putting him under so much pressure, and it was starting to get to him."
"I think Harold's right, for once." Rhonda stated. "You are afraid of her, aren't you? You're afraid that she's going to 'beat you into pulp with Old Betsy and The Five Avengers.'" The room burst into loud laughter once again.
"Guys, just stop it! This is getting way out of hand."
"Come on, Arnold…there's no reason to be afraid." Stinky pressured. "Helga always threatens to beat people up, and then, she never does!"
"Exactly, man. She's all talk." Gerald rolled his eyes. "Mmm, I never thought I'd see the day where you were afraid of her."
"Stop with the whole 'me being afraid of her' thing! I'm not afraid of her!" Arnold yelled.
"Then do it." Lila sneered.
"No."
"Listen, Arnold…" Rhonda began, "as you can see, we all want this. We all want her to see how it feels to be treated badly. Hell, I bet you want her to see how it feels. Considering you're somebody that she would never expect to do something like that, obviously, you're perfect for the part. Come on, now…don't let all of us down."
As he was about to say, "I'm not doing it," once again, an idea came over him. He could write the note…but it didn't have to get to her.
Arnold sighed. "Fine. I'll do it."
A/N: So, he's not planning on Helga getting the note…but how well will that turn out? You'll find out soon. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter…the next one should be up within a week. Bye. (:
