Chapter1#

31 year old Helga Pataki opened the door to her office and stepped inside. She walked quickly towards her desk not stopping or looking up until her secretary reached her.

"Helga I received two messages for you." Phoebe announced handing them to Helga on little sheets of pink paper.

"Thank you."

"Oh, and that new guy is here." Phoebe added.

"What new guy?" Helga stopped walking for a second and turned to Phoebe with a questioning look.

"The transferred resident from mercy general? He's coming today for an interview." Phoebe looked up from her clip board of notes and acknowledges.

"Oh, right. I forgot. I guess I am just tired from being on call all last night." Helga turned her attention back to walking down the hallway away from the hooting interns.

Helga had become the head doctor in the E. R. at Mount Sinai Hospital in new york.

She had her own office, her own secretary ,and free reign over all the people who worked for here. Recently she had been given a green light to hire more people.

Helga had changed a lot from that nine year old girl with blue eyes. She still had those crystal blue eyes but now her golden blonde locks were almost reaching her lower back. She was about 5'10 now with the perfect shape every woman dreamed of with all the curves in the right places. She wasn't fat but she wasn't anorexic skinny either. A lot of guys at the hospital had their eyes on her but Helga also had the reputation of being a cold fish. She didn't date or flirt with guys, she kept all of them at a distant, especially the ones at work.

The new guy walked in and sat down in the pink plushy chair across from her desk. When Helga didn't look up from her notes she was flipping through, he cleared his throat.

"I'll be with you in a second." Helga stated, still not looking up from her notes.

"No problem..." He started to fiddle with his thumbs in a circular motion.

Amazingly enough the man in Helga's office was Arnold.

Arnold had no idea who Helga was because she looked so beautiful and different even though some where something was saying he has seen her before.

Arnold looked at his new boss she was really pretty and Arnold had to fight the urge to stare. She tucked her hair behind her ear and continued flipping pages. When she finally stopped and found his resume, she glanced over it not paying attention to his full name.

"OK..."Helga stopped speaking the minute she looked up.

Helga knew Arnold from the moment she laid her eyes on him. He hadn't changed much from last time except he was a little taller. His cornflower hair was slicked back. His jelly bean eyes still stayed the same since I first saw them when I was three. She was shocked that he hadn't said anything about her yet. Arnold was still too dense to realize who the woman in front of him was.

"Uh...do you..?" Helga was speechless. She still couldn't believe who was in front of her.

"Are you ok?"Arnold asked, raising his eyebrows curiously.

"Yes. I'm fine. You've got the job. Congratulations."Helga said she just wanted him out of her office and as quickly as possible.

"Don't you need to interview me?" He stood up.

"Nope." She came over and started to push him towards the door.

"Ok. Thank you."

Arnold stepped outside Helga's office and Helga closed the door as fast as she could. Phoebe recognized Arnold the instant she saw him. She rushed over to say hello.

"ARNOLD!" Phoebe exclaimed with delight.

"PHOEBE!" Arnold was surprised to see Phoebe again but not so surprised to see her as a doctor. Everyone knew Phoebe would be in this position one day.

"When did you get here?" She gave him a hug, let go, and smiled at him with delight.

"A while ago I just got the last opening for a job position."

"Wow..." Phoebe looked down at her shoes, shocked to believe Helga would accept him.

"Yeah, now we can hang out and catch up."

"Yep. Just you, me, and, um, Helga." Phoebe smiled awkwardly and Arnold's face froze.

"HELGA?!" He finally managed to move his lips after a couple of seconds.

"Yeah she's in there." Phoebe pointed to the office door.

"In the office I just came from?" He said rhetorically.

"Yes." Phoebe crossed her arms over her chest. She was getting annoyed about how the boy never grew out of his denseness.

"Why?"

"Isn't it obvious? She is the head doctor Arnold."

"You...she?...that was...my boss?...Helga?" His head spun.

Arnold fainted on the spot.

"ARNOLD?!ARNOLD?!" Phoebe ran over and started fanning his face.

Helga was listening through the door the whole time. She was rambling with her own thoughts when she heard a thunk on the floor. She was surprised to have opened her door to see Arnold unconscious and ran over to help Phoebe wake him up.

Arnold opened his eyes and was surprised to see his boss standing over him. He sat up slowly and she grabbed his arm.

"Are you alright?" Helga asked helping Arnold stand up.

"Yeah. I just had the worst nightmare." Arnold shook his head and rubbed the back of it with his hand.

"Oh, really?" She raised one eyebrow in a sarcastic sense.

"You were this girl that used to pick on me and was nasty all the time... it was... weird..." He said looking into her eyes.

"Yes...that is weird." Helga agreed and looked over at Phoebe who was staring between the two.

"You're not are you?" He asked in a too hopeful voice for it to be true.

"I am sorry to disappoint you Football Head." She sighed and let go of his arm. Leaning back on her legs and staring at the floor.

He immediately shot up and felt the world spin around him. Phoebe helped balance him by holding on to his arm and looking at Helga with sorrow.

"Oh no... Maybe I should apply for a job somewhere else..." He offered.

"No Arnold. I already gave you a job here." She exclaimed while standing up and dusting off her jeans.

"I know, but, you and I, we just, we are not a thing anymore." He said looking at her face. He saw it change from disappointment to anger in one blink.

"Yes I know. We never were." She brushed passed him quickly, holding her clip board tightly to her chest. He winced with hurt at her words.

She walked into her office slamming the door. After a few seconds he opened the door to her office and slammed his hands on her desk making her jump and look up at his annoyed face.

"Helga are you still mad at me?!" Arnold asked with a little too much aggression that made Helga a little scared.

"To be honest...a little." She looked back down at her papers trying to distract herself from his stature.

"That was ten years ago!"

"So!" She looked up into his anger filled eyes matching his emotions with her own, "I remember like it was yesterday..."

***Flash back***

"So this is it?" Helga was 21 and standing with Arnold in the rain on the same bridge when she took that "anti-love potion", looking at the rippling blue water.

"Yeah..."

"I love you." She blurted out, covering her move with her hands the moment she said those words.

"What?" He looked over at her with an 'are you serious' expression.

She went over to him and held on to his arms for him to understand how much this meant to her. And for her own support.

"I love you. I have since the day I met you outside of our first day of preschool when we were three..." She looked into his jellybean green eyes and slid her hands down his arms to his.

"Why are you telling me this Helga?" He looked at her crystal blue eyes and saw that she was being serious. He couldn't believe it.

"Because, I am going back to school, and, I may never see you again..." She was leaving for Duke in a few short days and she just had to tell him. She may never get this chance again.

"Oh." He said it so dully that it made Helga drop his already slack hands.

"Do you love me?" She questioned with worrisome.

"No Helga. I don't..." He started to back away a little, noticing how close she was to him.

"Oh... But why?" She had water starting to rim her eyes.

"Because you are a cruel, uncaring, heartless person. You have made my life a misery since preschool and if you did 'love' me, I know you wouldn't have ever done the things you've did. Your the reason Lia and I never hit it off! Your the reason I lost my baseball cap all those years ago!"

He was yelling at her so loud that Helga didn't realize she had backed herself up against the concrete railing that led to freezing plummet on the over side. She had tears running down her face but stopped when she heard the last sentence and started to get angry at herself. But mostly him.

"What hell are you talking about Arnold!?"

"You heard me! I know all about your little shrines and poems. I've know for years! You were a stalker Helga! And I don't love you and don't think I ever will! The truth is, I hate you!" He was yelling at her but he never yelled.

"But-"

"Forget it!"Arnold stormed off leaving Helga crying on the bridge where she regretted ever asking to take the 'spell' off of her.

***end Flash back***

Helga had to blink to hold back tears that were memories still fresh in her mind.

"My Grandpa had just died! I was upset and really confus-"Arnold said trying to defend his younger, stupider, self. Regretting everything he said on that bridge.

"It is ok. All water under the bridge. So, just forget it." She said the armor coming back up preventing him from getting close and into her heart again.

"You never changed." He said standing up and shaking his head.

"What does that supposed to mean?!" She snapped.

"You are still the same old Helga. I thought you would have grown up by now."

"Shut up and go to work." She ordered with rage and looked back down at the papers she was stacking a little too forceful.

"Fine." He stormed out of the office slamming the door and Helga collapsed onto her chair with a heavy sigh. Letting old memories, that she thought she buried long ago, sweep back into her mind.
