Here's another story that's going to be my Christmas story for this season! I hope you guys enjoy it, it'll probably be there throughout the month of December! I don't know if anybody attempted this before, but I'm going to try my own version! Now, as for couples, it's going to vary a little bit... and yes, I'm going to do 12 couples on the Hey Arnold fandom, both some of the fanon ones and canon! Well, anyway, enjoy!

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, YOUR LOVED ONE GAVE TO YOU...

Inside the Pataki household, Helga yawned as she looked out the window and saw the snow coming down. Helga just snorted.

"Heh... snow coming down..." Helga said as she looked at the calendar. "And it's December... of course, Christmas is coming right around the corner..."

Helga sighed. "What good is Christmas, though..."

Helga snapped her fingers as she smiled. "Hold up a second... got a love poem idea!"

Helga then ran right into her Arnold shrine and started writing up her poem.

"Oh my sweetheart, how I look at the snow!

I'm quite reminded on how you always give a warm smile!

Though you may not understand how I yearn for you...

The places I want to walk must be at least a mile!

But Arnold, my love, how sweet are you,

Always the helpful guy, forever more!

I know you, you're an angel beyond order,

But give me your love, and let me soar."

"Hmmm... this is actually pretty good..." Helga smiled as she looked it over. "Hmmm... I could do a little more... eh, I'll see if I can do to revise it on the bus."

Helga nodded as she put the poem in her coat pocket as she was getting ready to leave.

Helga shivered a bit as she covered herself even more. "I guess the good thing about Olga coming home next week is giving her a Christmas list... at least she actually goes out and gets something for me... first chance I get, I'm asking for a winter coat..."

Helga noticed the bus coming as she sighed in relief and ran in, sitting next to Phoebe, who saved her a seat on the bus.

"You okay, Helga?" Phoebe asked, concerned.

"A little cold, but okay." Helga nodded as she turned to Phoebe. "For once, I'm actually glad and hoping for Olga to come home next week."

"Yeah, winter seems to be the only time you want Olga to come home..." Phoebe said.

"What can I say? Though she's a little overbearing and she hugs really tightly, her hugs are very warm." Helga sighed as she pulled out her poem to look over.

Phoebe raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Is that another poem involving Ice Cream?"

"Oh... well, yeah, pretty much." Helga said as she looked it over. "Look it over and tell me what you think."

Phoebe nodded as Helga handed her the paper and looked over the writing on the paper. Helga was glad that she read silently, so that's another good aspect of how Phoebe is her best friend... she always read silently, and she'd never reveal Helga's secret.

"Helga... as usual, you have a really good knack at poetry!" Phoebe smiled.

"I'm sure you and Mr. Simmons can form a pact on that..." Helga said as she saw Arnold and Gerald coming on the bus. Helga then sneered at the football head passing him by. "You better watch your back, football head!"

Arnold just shook his head as he and Gerald continued walking. Helga smiled a bit as Phoebe shook his head.

"You know, you don't have to keep insulting Ice Cream every time..." Phoebe sighed.

"Why not? It's sort of a rule I follow..." Helga said.

"Didn't Dr. Bliss tell you to ease up on the insults just a bit?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow.

Helga sighed. "Yes, yes, I know she said that, but I can't help it. I have a rep to keep, after all..."

Phoebe paused... then smiled, getting an idea. "You know, Helga, it is the Christmas season. Why don't you give Ice Cream a confession of your, uh, love..."

"What? Are you insane?" Helga glared at Phoebe.

"Actually, that title goes to Curly, but hear me out." Phoebe whispered. "It doesn't have to be directly from you. You did a good job keeping your poems anonymous, which Mr. Simmons greatly respects..."

"...and I'm grateful for it, because he could have just said my name in any of these situations... even when I'm worried my love for Ice Cream is exposed, but everything's okay, because he doesn't catch on." Helga sighed in relief.

"Well, I'm just saying, you did give Ice Cream a few clues that you liked him... Ice Cream doesn't know it's you, exactly, but doesn't he still have the first pink book of poems you wrote?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, and I started a new one since. Your point?" Helga asked.

"I'm saying, why don't you give Ice Cream this poem you wrote? You did a really good job keeping everything else anonymous, why not this one?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know, Pheebs..." Helga sighed as she looked at her poem. Helga looked up and noticed Phoebe took off her glasses and gave her a really sad, but very cute look. "Oh no, come on, Phoebe, don't make me feel... oh, but you're too adorable to not look at! I... I..."

Helga sighed. "Okay, okay, if you really think this'll work... but I have to keep it anonymous, like you said... I'll write a note alongside my poem saying I'm the same girl that gave him the pink book by accident, but..."

"...though I can't reveal who I am yet, know that I am sorry I can't reveal myself to you... I want to do it when I'm ready. I hope you understand that, and I hope you like the poem." Arnold said as he read the note he had found alongside another rolled paper that he found when he opened his locker. "Hmmm... it does look like the same handwriting as the one in the pink book..."

Arnold picked up the poem that was rolled and unfurled it as he read it. Nearby, Helga was peeking nervously and crossing her fingers.

By the time Arnold finished reading the poem, he gave a smile. "Wow... that's actually pretty good. Whoever the girl who left the pink book behind is... she really IS a great writer... I really hope I meet her someday..."

Helga gave a sigh of relief and a smile as Arnold pocketed the poem and started to walk off. Helga gave a smile. "He liked it... he really liked it..."

Helga sighed as she held her heart. Phoebe, standing nearby, smiled. "Told you he'd like it. Come on, Helga, let's get to class."

Helga nodded as she followed Phoebe to class. All in all... not a bad start to her day... and a good start to the Christmas season...
