This is my first fanfic, after reading a whole bunch I decided to try my hand at this…so please save the tomatoes till after the story is done…. Ohhhh and this isn't necessarily a songfic but I put music that can fit every scene, there will be cues that let you know what song is playing…YouTube has all of the songs, I am open to any song suggestions that would go great with a scene or any songs in general that I can use for future chapters…but anyway I hope you enjoy this awesome adventure into the world of Arnold and the gang
Disclaimer: …Too broke to own hey Arnold… , …. I own a coffee mug…my laptop…a decent pair of pants…clean undies and a pair of batman sneakers, but not Arnold and the gang…

She was standing before a door and she knocked only to be met with silence and no answer

The door opened…
Omniscient P.O.V.
Time:3 weeks earlier
Place: Public transportation device known as a bus
A woman whom had just turned 20 was looking out at the town that she once called home and sighed. She had matured and travelled the world and learned the different ins and outs of living…Mainly just learning how to live in a college dorm without killing someone, but that's another story. She thought about all of the memories she had, as she fiddled with her Phone she set the song to "Helena Beat" By Foster the people. She wasn't one specifically for indie music, but she found them to be a cool band, nonetheless she focused her attention back to the outside.
The bus passed an open field located in-between two buildings and sighed
Gerald Field the blonde thought to herself and remembered all of the games they played and the games they ever finished because of Wolfgang and Torvald causing trouble.
"Good Times…"
the Blonde whispered to herself then focused her attention to the bus station that was approaching quickly. She was Anxious yet nervous, it had been merely 7 years sense she had been in this familiar town, which had earned the title of city in the past couple of years. The buildings were the same, the people looked the same, yet something was different, she felt different. Hell, she even looked different. The blonde grew to a modest 5'7; she no longer looked as if she was ready to punch someone in the face for taking oxygen and converting it to carbon dioxide. Instead she sported a relaxed look on her face and a new pair of eyebrows, which she was still getting used to. Her shape was actually pretty developed and the passing men can agree that she was something to look at. Her legs were showing under her black skirt, they led into a pair of white chuck Taylors. Her shirt was white with a pink Batman logo on it. Her headphones easily matched her shirt with a pink batman logo on them as well. Her hair was down with a fringe bang and an all too familiar bow at the top of it. She was carrying a bag that simply said "my college major is majoring in college" and a guitar case. She picked up guitar in college when her roommate was playing her poetry in song and she threatened to kick her ass if she was not taught this magic power that her roommate possessed.
Stephanie. The blonde thought to herself and laughed at the thought of her teaching the blonde how to play and getting frustrated, yet never losing faith in the blonde. She looked down at her phone as her ringtone went off "Tongue-tied "by Grouplove filled the air as she opened her phone.
Have Fun! And Keep me posted! Or else I will come and kick your ass!- Steph
The blonde smiled to herself and picked up her bags and proceeded to leave off the bus
Her two feet had only touched the pavement for 2 minutes before she was tackled by her shorter Japanese friend. Mind you the Blonde was about 3 inches taller but fell much like a person that was deprived sleep for 2 weeks, yet it was joyous and familiar. The smaller Japanese women stood at 5'5 and looked amazing she wore a pair of black skinny jeans, a blue T-shirt with Einstein's face on it and a caption that read "While you were in school I was blowin' up shit" she wore contacts and had black cropped hair and a smile she had an athlete's body and sporting the same pair of shoes as the blonde.
"! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I MISSED YOU!" The younger Japanese woman exclaimed to the blonde woman.
"Calm down Pheebes… What are you trying to do kill me?" the blonde said playfully to the younger Japanese woman, whom was pulling herself off of the blonde.
"Calming!" Phoebe calmly exclaimed. They started moving to the red 2012 Honda, it smelled nice like a new car. They loaded up the blondes bags and got in the car. Radio staying off, so there was silence until Helga started to talk…
"Same old Phoebe…Actually you grew a little…Trying to catch up with me?" Helga was trying to make conversation to catch up with Phoebe. Truth is Helga hasn't been in town sense her dad sent her away to live with her Aunt in New York after she had told him about Miriam having a "good time" with his business partner while Bob was away trying to look for a new location to expand his empire. He never dealt well with denial. Automatically Helga was lying and in the wrong in his mind, even with the pictures and neighbor testimony he still stood against Helga's claims. It seemed like a whole court case. But she was glad she moved to New York, that was where she met Steph and developed a friendship that was sure to last a long time, but it would never replace that bond she had with the young Japanese woman that sat beside her.
"Helga...Hellooooo?" Phoebe was waving her hand in front of Helga's face in order to get her attention.
"What's up?" Helga came out of her deep thoughts
"I was wondering if you minded if we pick up one more person? Its ok if you don't want to, I can easily rearrange another ride to…" At that moment the Blonde cut off the Brunette
"Pish Posh…it's ok Pheebes, just make sure they aren't smelly" She flashed look of disgust at the thought of a guy dressed up in a skunk costume. What the fuck am I on…?She shrugged it off.
They passed through various streets and made an abrupt stop in front of their destination. A guy came out his hair was lowly cropped and his skin was a darker caramel color he looked to be 6'2. He smiled and was carrying a bag that had the Nike logo on it, his shoes matched his bag and he was wearing a button up flannel shirt with a pair of Jeans. He got inside of the car and made a face at the blonde.
"Phoebe didn't I tell you to stop picking up the hookers… That is out during the day?" The Blonde said with a hint of concern in her voice, yet very playful.
"Excuse me Blondie?" The man said in protest
"Oh dear" Phoebe said under her breath
"You heard me hair boy!" The blonde retorted
"HELGA PATAKI? IS THAT YOU?" The Man looked shocked and thrown off.
"Yup it's me! Alive and in the flesh!" Helga said to the man and noticed he was studying her and making faces of shock.
"Wow! You look..." He took a deep breath and prepared himself for known insults coming his way
"different…I know..." Helga completed his sentence with a hint of exhaustion
"Wait Til' everyone sees you… fuzzy slippers was right… you did change"
"Aren't you a little too old to believe in Fuzzy Slippers Gerald-o?"
"He Exists Damnit…" Helga rolled her eyes at Gerald at his childish reaction
"Surrreeee… and pigionman is Mike Tyson… Never mind scratch that…" She backed off now noticing that Gerald and her best friend were now holding hands and staring at each other. She remembers Phoebe telling her something about them getting together...
Omniscient P.O.V(Flashback)
Time: 3 months back
Place: Rhonda Wellingtons House party
The base from "Love lockdown" by Kanye west blared as Gerald walked over to Phoebe and touches her face, her emotions on her face turned from worry to relaxed, she began to melt in his hands like putty and suddenly the room seemed hotter as their eyes touched closer. Then the moment hit when everyone around them seemed like blurs in the distance.
"You know I've always thought you were beautiful" Gerald said while caressing her face
If I be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
Gerald pulls Phoebe in close and kisses her on the lips feeling their heat become one…
"Phoebe Heyerdahl will you be my girlfriend?" Gerald looked into Phoebes eyes and smiled
"Yes Gerald Johansson I would love to be your girlfriend"
Helga's P.O.V.
Time: back to present time
Place: Hillwood Hotel
The car came to a screeching halt in front of the big new fancy hotel the City of Hillwood had gained. Helga started to get out of the car but Phoebe had stopped her. What's going on…
"Helga you sure you don't wanna crash at my place?"
"Pheebs trust me I will be okay plus I'm pretty sure you don't have a spa inside of your home…" That should calm her thoughts a bit
"I suppose so-"
"HELGA LIKES SPA DAYS?"
Gerald but out laughing.
Ugh. I gave him something to laugh at…fuck, hmmm time to bring back old Helga from retirement
"Hey Hair boy, I'd shut up before I end up making your face into clay" maybe I should add a scowl.
Helga scowled at Gerald.
"Why don't you just go exfoliate your face already…"
"…Look asshole..I-"
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP IT!Sorry"
Phoebe looked away. Shit I have made her upset…good job Helga
"I should go on up…I'll leave you two love birds to get some alone time in"
Helga winked and nudged her friend in the arm and grabbed her bags and went up the elevator into her room.
The hotel smelled like a brand new car with freshly shampooed carpets. She opened the door labeled "609" and saw that there were two bedrooms she remembered that the only available bedroom was a two bedroom room. She went in set down her bags and turned around to go back out the door upon opening the door she saw an all too familiar man standing across from her. His golden blonde hair still fizzed out at the sides which gave him the appearance of having a football shaped head; he stood at 6'2, and was wearing a plaid button up with blue jeans oh and a small red cap. Helga felt a joy sneak up into her heart but then she noticed that she felt a little off about this man that stood before her, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Arnold
She cleared her throat.
The man turned around and stared at her then smiled.
"Wow! I am net door to a FOX!" Helga's eyes grew wide and she felt her cheeks change to a bright crimson
"Excuse me?"Helga said gently
"oh, pardon my forwardness… You ma'am are HOT! If you don't mind I would love to take you out to dinner sometime…that is…if you don't mind" The man winked and threw in another smile
"uh…no…I-I Don't mind" Helga brushed a hair away from her face. My Beloved is finally taking me out to dinner, this may be fate.
"7 the lounge place down in the hotel lobby?"
"S-Sure"
still a little nervous she looked at him.
"See you then eh…"
"Helga" How could he possibly forget my name?
"Niles"
Before she could say anything the man ran off down the hallway leaving Helga standing there with her mouth open….
