Here's a little something I'm working on at this moment in time... basically, another Hey Arnold story, but this time, it's going to be something sport related, like the competition episodes! Let's see how this plays out! Anyway, enjoy!

It was that time again... another competition for go-karts was just around the corner as Nadine took a deep breath and started signing up. Nadine nodded as she blew on her hand. "This is going to be great!"

"Remind me, once again..." Nadine heard Rhonda say as Nadine turned to see Rhonda holding a tool kit. "...WHY you're so interested in doing this?"

"Thanks to Tucker's mere suggestions, I decided to give out my time in the racetrack." Nadine said. "Of course, we'd have to build our own race kart, but I'm sure we can manage something."

"Yeah, I can see that..." Rhonda frowned. "But of ALL the other people you can put on our team... why CURLY!"

Rhonda then pointed behind her as Curly was seen standing on his head, reciting some Satanic like verses as Rhonda explained, "I mean, god, you KNOW he's trying to put me down!"

"True, but he's also a very good helper if need be." Nadine smiled. "Besides, I'd invite Tucker, but he's in a team of his own."

Rhonda just frowned at Nadine. Nadine sighed. "Look I'll make sure he doesn't harm you, and you don't harm him."

"All right. Personal space. That's what I like." Rhonda nodded as she looked over the other cart racers entering. "Looks like Helga, Phoebe and Harold are entering again... oh, Eugene, Stinky and Arnold are entering their kart as well."

"Oh yeah, the Mauve Avenger. Yeah, Helga told me about that." Nadine said as she decided to get herself going. "Well, why don't we get ourselves started on styling a kart?"

"Very well, but it's going to be MY style that does it. Curly?" Rhonda called as Curly ran over.

"Hey, sweetheart!" Curly saluted.

"Be a dear and get some fine tools and paint... only for the best racers!" Rhonda smirked.

"Right away, sweetheart!" Curly smiled as he ran off.

Rhonda shook her head as Nadine said, "I think this'll be a long day."

"Aw, why do we have to be a team again?" Harold complained as he, Helga and Phoebe were building a new cart at Harold's place.

"Come on, Harold, I only put you on the team because you know how to change tires rather quickly. You proved that last time." Helga said. "That, and you'd do anything for a Mr. Nutty candy bar."

Harold paused. "I suppose that's a good point."

"Now, I do believe that while last time, we did win with our cart, we may have to make some new upgrades on it." Phoebe explained as she put in some rocket boosters. "Anything goes in this event, so we may need to be careful when we make the turns."

"With your little upgrades, Phoebe?" Helga smirked. "And your driving skills, anything is possible!"

"I figured..." Phoebe said.

"Plus, we both seen you at the racing track. You drive like a maniac on the course!" Harold said in surprise.

Phoebe groaned as she put her hands on her face. "Why do you keep bringing that up..."

"Oh come on, Phoebe, you totally are!" Helga said as she sat down next to her friend. "Look, Phoebe, there's this doubt in my mind that you're not quite as good, but that doubt is gone, so I say... I'm letting the glasses-wearing girl drive!"

"You really have this much confidence in me?" Phoebe smiled as she looked at Helga.

"Eh, sure, why not?" Helga shrugged... then yelped as Phoebe gave her a hug. "Okay, okay, don't get all mushy on me!"

"Isn't this wonderful, Arnold?" Eugene smiled as he was pushing the Mauve Avenger out of his garage for him, Arnold and Stinky to see. "If we can get the Mauve Avenger upgraded to something new, we can totally win the race."

"I don't know Eugene." Stinky said. "Last time we tried the Mauve Avenger with you driving, we lost the race..."

"Yeah, but we beat Wolfgang!" Eugene smiled.

"Come on, Stinky, give Eugene a chance." Arnold smiled. "He went through all this trouble to revive the Mauve Avenger for us..."

"Well, I suppose it is well put together..." Stinky said as he started tapping it... and on cue, it just fell right apart.

Eugene chuckled nervously as Arnold sighed, saying, "We'll put it back together!"

"Great!" Eugene smiled. "It's a shame it's three-A-team, but with all we got, I think we can work out the kinks."

Arnold nodded. "The only thing I'm concerned about is Gerald. He said he decided to enter as well... I wonder who his teammates are..."

"And I wonder why Sid didn't want to join us this time..." Stinky said, scratching his head in confusion.

"Listen up, boys!" Gerald said as Sid and Tucker Wittenberg watched him. "We watched from the sidelines and we all know the manner of go-karting! But we never attempted it. This time, I have assembled the perfect team to help us win this race! Sid, you were a former expert on go-karts, and Tucker, you're a sports god!"

"Thank you." Tucker nodded.

"I won't let you down, Gerald!" Sid nodded.

"Make sure you don't." Gerald frowned at Sid, before smiling. "Okay, well, I designed some plans for a go-kart... look at them and tell me what you think."

Gerald gave Sid and Tucker a few plans as they took a look at them. Tucker paused as he said, "May need a little boost."

"Exactly what I'm thinking, I'm the driver, you're the workers!" Gerald laughed.

"Yeah, I think we can make this work!" Sid said. "Let's get that go-kart built!"

All three boys hi-fived each other as they proceeded to put their heads together.

Looks like the four teams were ready for their small go-kart tournament... who will get the win?

And there's the first chapter! How'd you like it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
