Hey Arnold!
The Dance - Part One
Disclaimer: I own the plot of this story, but not the characters. I do not work on the show.
"Attention, students," Principal Wartz said through the P.A. system. "The end of the school term is coming up and to reward the good results of the recent exams, you will get a dance in two weeks time! That is all."
"Yay! A dance!" squealed Rhonda. "Another excuse for me to ask Daddy for a new dress!"
"Oh no! A boring dance full of smooching!" groaned Harold.
"I'll be chaperoning the Dance," said Mr. Simmons. "I'll be there to make sure that you all have a good time, in your own special way!"
The bell rang and the class made their way onto the playground. "So, are you going to ask Lila to go to the dance with you?" Gerald asked Arnold.
"Why would I do that?" asked Arnold.
"Oh, come on, man. It's obvious that you still have a crush on her," said Gerald.
"I don't think that I should," said Arnold.
"Why?"
"Because she said that she doesn't like me in that way! She won't want to go to the dance with me!"
"She can only say no!"
"Maybe I'll mention it to her. Are you going to ask anybody? Maybe Phoebe? I know that you like her!"
"Well, maybe I'll mention it to her, too!"
Helga and Phoebe were also talking to each other about the dance. "Great! A dance!" Helga said sarcastically. "Nobody is going to want to go with me."
"So, you don't think that Arnold will want to take you to the dance?" asked Phoebe.
"Arnold? Why would I care about Arnold?"
"Because you have told me a lot of times that you have a crush on him!"
"Yeah, well. We all know who he will want to go with him. Lila! I'm not going to the Dance. I'm not even going to try and get together with Arnold. You and Gerald have a good time together."
"Gerald? I'm not going with Gerald!"
"Yeah, but you want to. So ask him."
"I don't know..."
"I have to go and see somebody." Helga went to find Lila who was sitting alone on a bench. "Lila! Can I speak with you?" she asked.
"Sure. What do you want?" Lila asked.
"Remember when we did the play of Romeo and Juliet and I told you that I liked Arnold?" Helga asked.
"Don't worry, Helga. I haven't told anybody." Lila reassured her.
"I know. I think I can trust you with my secret." said Helga.
"You can." said Lila.
"Well, I think that Arnold may want to ask you to the Dance. I'm not going, but I want to know if you will go with him?" asked Helga.
"I'm not. I don't like him in that way and if I go with him it will just make him get the wrong idea," said Lila.
"So you're not taking him? Then, maybe I will go. So, who do you want to go with?" asked Helga.
"Eugene." said Lila
"You like him?" asked Helga.
"Yeah. Mostly because..."
The bell rang. Lila was the first to run inside. Helga tried to think of a way that she could go to the dance with Arnold. Later on, she thought of something and told Lila. "If Arnold tries to ask you to the dance, just say that you are waiting for somebody else to ask you and that you will get back to him. Don't get back to him until the day before the dance and then say that you are going with Eugene. All of the other girls will have dates and he will be forced to go with me!"
"But I am not officially going with Eugene," said Lila.
"Don't worry!" snapped Helga. "I'll make sure that you end up going with him"
