"Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now." A tall, auburn haired woman sang into the
mic (A/n: I can't spell.). She smiled from ear to ear, and curtsied. "Thank you, ever so much!" she
called out to the crowd, and walked off the stage. She looked about like she did when she was
still in Hillwood, except her hair was a little longer, that's all. She wore a dark emerald very
revealing dress. She sat down at a table that was close to the stage. She tossed her hair, and
exhaled. She looked around the room, expecting someone. 'Where on earth is she? She is ever so
late...' she thought, looking at the door to the club. Suddenly the doors flew open, and there stood
a black haired woman, in a black mink coat. "Rhonda!" Lila stood up, and flew over to Rhonda.
Rhonda looked towards her, and smiled wide.
"Lila, darling! How have you been?" she asked, as they embraced. Lila pulled away, and smirked.
"I've been doing great! I won a singing contest!" Lila stated, and put her hand out. "Here, I'll
take your coat and hang it up for you, if you'd like."
Rhonda nodded her head, and pulled off her coat, revealing a red leather tube top, and a green
velvet skirt, with the words 'merry Christmas' all over it. "Thank you." she said handing her coat
to Lila. "You know where the hanger is, I don't."
Lila nodded her head and left for a minute. Soon she returned, and they sat down at her table.
"So, how have you and all the others from Hillwood been?" Lila asked, taking a sip of her
cocktail.
Rhonda smiled. "Well, I've been getting engaged, see?" she held out her hand for Lila to see. Sure
enough... she had a ring that was about 64 karats. Lila gasped, and hugged Rhonda again. She let
go, and sat back down.
"I'm ever so happy for you! Who to?" Lila clapped her hands in excitement.
"Sid, surprisingly." Rhonda giggled. Lila gave Rhonda a confused look.
"Sid? You mean the Sid that had a long hot dog nose?!" Lila shrieked. Rhonda looked around,
and saw that everyone was staring at Lila. "But he's not ever so rich like you!"
Rhonda half smiled, and shook her head. "No, but he's kinda cute once you get to know him."
Lila sighed, and shook her head.
"Who else is getting married, or already is married?" Lila asked, and took another sip of her
cocktail.
"Lets see... Phoebe and Gerald are married, and have been for about... 10 years. They even have a
daughter, and are expecting another in about 5 months. Nadine and Curly are getting married
soon." Lila raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Nadine is going to marry crazy Curly. Sheena married
Eugene last year. Park is going to marry Carissa. You remember her?" Lila nodded her head, and
Rhonda continued. "Harold married Patty, I'm sure you remember her. Stinky is going to marry
Gloria. Robert, do you remember him?" Lila paused for a second... then nodded her head. "He
proposed to Aubrey, you remember her right? Of course you do. And Brainy is going to marry
Helga's cousin Toni." Lila raised an eyebrow. (Toni is another one of my unofficial characters).
"You never heard of her before?"
"No, I haven't. Speaking of that little imp, is she married?" Lila asked through gritted teeth.
Rhonda chuckled, then shook her head. Lila sat up straight. "You mean she, and Arnold... aren't
married?"
"Arnold's too much of a chicken to ask her." Rhonda chuckled. Lila suddenly got an idea. An evil
idea. Very, very evil. She narrowed her eyes, and smirked an evil smirk. Rhonda noticed this, and
waved her hand in front of Lila's face. "What is going through your head? $100 bill for your
thoughts." (A/n: yeah, I know it's 'penny for your thoughts' not '$100 bill for your thoughts' but
it's Rhonda, people! She wouldn't stoop to saying something as cheap as a penny!)
"I just got an idea. And you're going to help me. By Christmas Arnold will be mine!!" Lila
laughed evilly. She stood up so quickly she knocked the chair she was sitting on over. "Rhonda,
I'm going back to your house with you. Lets go." she helped Rhonda up, brought her her coat,
grabbed her own coat, and they left.

Arnold and Helga sat in Arnold's apartment, watching tv, while babysitting Akemi, Phoebe and
Gerald's 4 year old daughter. She looked mostly like Phoebe, except a little darker skin. She had
short black hair, and sienna eyes. Today, she wore a red dress that was, obviously, too big for her,
and had a picture of holly in the middle of it. She sat in between Helga and Arnold on the couch
watching 'Beauty and the beast' her favorite. Helga looked down at Akemi. She was falling
asleep. Helga looked up to Arnold so she could tell him that Akemi was asleep, but so was he.
"Can't even stay awake through a whole movie, can you football head?" she asked, giggling, and
nudged Arnold's arm.
"I'm up!" he shouted, and jumped up. He looked back down at Helga and Akemi. "Oh, sorry,
must've fallen asleep." notices that he wasn't the only one. "Oh, I see why you woke me up." he
bent down and picked up the sleeping 4 year old. He cradled her in his arms, and he sighed. "She
sure is cute when she is asleep."
"She's not the only one." Helga said, standing up. Arnold chuckled, and Helga gave him a peck
on the cheek. "You probably better go put her on the bed, huh?" Helga rubbed the top of Akemi's
head, and Arnold nodded his head.
"Yep, probably better." he walked off towards his room. Helga sighed, and collapsed on the
couch.
'I've been living with him here since we got out of school, and why hasn't he proposed yet? He
loves me... I love him, and have my whole life... what's holding him?' Helga thought, and grabbed
her latest poem book. 'Might as well read my poems.' she began to read. Soon Arnold came back,
yawning. "Is she still asleep? What took you so long?"
"Yeah, she's still asleep, I just wanted to make sure she would stay that way, so I waited for a
second." Arnold flopped down next to Helga, making the couch bounce and her drop her book.
"Oops, sorry."
Helga waved her hand slowly. "Aw, that's ok. I wasn't really reading it right now anyway." Helga
scooted closer to Arnold, and rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm kinda tired myself." she said
yawning.
"Same here." Arnold acknowledged, and wrapped his right arm around Helga. Suddenly Helga
heard snoring above her. She looked up, and sure enough... Arnold was already asleep.
