Hey guys... my first fanfic was a little cramped, and I apologize... I'll explain why it was so hard to read... I had written the story, and as soon as I was done, my computer froze. I was so mad, and I wanted to get it in that day, so I rewrote it really quickly lol. I'm sorry bout that... I will continue it soon, as soon as I get some good ideas about what to write about with it. Thanks for all that read it and replied to my first one! I appreciate you struggling through it lol.
Arnie comes for a Month
It was a fresh spring day, the sky was pastel blue, the birds were chirping and you could hear grandma, making breakfast. Arnold woke up, glanced around his room and finally climbed out of bed lazily. He buttoned up his plaid shirt and struggled with his teal shirt over his head. It was Saturday, and he was excited because he was meeting all his friends at Geralds field at 11:00 sharp, he remembered the time exactly because Helga made it clear to him not to be late. He slowly made his way down to the kitchen.
The phone rang as he sat down at the table. Grandpa answered. "Yes, this is the Sunset Arms boarding house, can I help you?"
There was a slight pause while grandpa listened to the person on the other end of the line. "Oh, so he'll be staying with us for a month?"
Arnold was confused. "Who could be staying here for a whole month?" he thought to himself.
"Ok, well young Arnold will be happy to bring him to school with him. When will he be over?" There was another small pause. "Ok, see you tomorrow."
"Uh, Grandpa? What was that all about?"
"Well Shortman, looks like your favorite cousin, Arnie will be staying with us for a few weeks."
Ernie walks into the room, he overheard what Grandpa had said. "Oh no, not Arnie! That kids the weirdest kid I ever met!"
"He's not that bad Ernie", said Arnold with hope for his cousin.
"Oh give me a break Arnold! Admit it! That kid is STARRAAANGE!"
"Yeah, I guess your right. But we might as well get used to him, He'll be staying with us for a while. By the way Grandpa, when is he coming, next week?"
"No, not next week..."
"Phew, not for another week at least..." said Ernie hopefully.
"He's coming tomorrow afternoon."
"TOMORROW?!" Everyone within hearing distance of Grandpa shouted.
"For a month?!" exclaimed Ernie.
"We're all gonna lose our minds!" said Oscar making a motion of pulling his hair out.
"I think it's a little too late for you, Kokoshka!"
"Well Arnold, He's coming tomorrow, run upstairs and set a bed up for him."
"Ok Grandpa."
Arnold ran up the stairs, and got his remote control couch to come out, then put blankets and a pillow on top of it. He figured Arnie could make it himself when he got there. He flew down the stairs, and told Grandpa that he was going out to Geralds field for a while to play baseball with his friends.
"Ok shortman, don't forget to tell all your little friends that Arnie is coming tomorrow, and will be joining you in school for the next 4 weeks."
Arnold sighed. "Yeah, Grandpa, I know. Bye!"
Arnold walks through the doorway of the boarding house and closes the door. "Man, what am I gonna do for a whole month with my cousin, the lint collector. Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of something." He thought. On his way to the vacant lot, he realized that he had lost track of time while he was worrying about Arnie in the boarding house. He took out his pocket watch from his pocket, and takes a quick glance at it. "Oh great, Helga's gonna be at my throat, I'm 10 minutes late. Oh well, I'll just have to brush it off like I always seem to do. I have to tell everyone about Arnie too..."
He can hear Helga hollering at the top of her lungs that he was 10 minutes late. When he's in sight, Helga yells to him that he's late.
"I realize that Helga. I need to talk to everyone for a few minutes."
Everyone gathered around Arnold, wondering what it was he had to say.
"Well, do you guys remember my cousin Arnie?"
"Of course, how could we forget about that freak of nature?" said Helga
"I know, he's repulsive. I mean, He collects LINT." Rhonda said.
"Yeah, he freaks me out!" Harold says with a sort of a worrisome face.
"Well, he's coming for about a month visit, he has to go to school with me, and go wherever I go." Arnold said sadly.
"Awe gee!" Said Stinky in his simple country tone voice.
"You mean, Arnie is going to school with you for a month, and if we wanna go somewhere he has to go too?" Gerald said, disappointed.
"Yeah, kinda looks that way Gerald. I just wanted to let everyone know in advance that he'll be spending a lot of time here. And, I want you all to try and be nice to him..."
"We'll try buddy." Gerald said, reassuringly.
"Thanks guys, I owe you one."
"Ok football head! Lets get playing before you think of another way to keep us from the game! Crimady!"
Arnold was up at bat, and as usual everyone thought he couldn't hit. But before he struck out he hit it with great force and hit Helga down. He rushed over to see if she was OK.
"Helga? Are you OK? Talk to me."
Helga had lost her senses for a minute, and was actually being nice to Arnold.
"Oh Arnold, of course I'm OK, I'm always OK when your around."
"Huh? Uh, Helga, I think you need to rest for a while. I'll sit with you." Said Arnold.
"Oh Arnold, you're so caring."
All of a sudden Helga realized what she had said... and noticed Arnold sitting next to her.
"YYUCK! Move aside football head! Your crowding me!
"Sheesh Helga, I was just trying to help."
After the game, everyone headed home. Meanwhile, Helga is still at the field, thinking about Arnold, and how she thought of yet another plan to capture his attention.
"I have thought of the perfect plan to get Arnold to notice me!"
Helga walked to her house and went inside, then danced happily up to her room. She locked her door and went into her closet. She flicked the lights on, and praised the figure of Arnold.
"Oh, My love God, you WILL notice me this time! I have thought up the most perfect plan! Since Arnie likes me, I'll pretend to like him and I'll spend my time with him, and being nice to you and everyone else! This has to work!"
".... Helga, you're a genius!"
I'm going to make more to this, well, if you, the "people" think its worth it. Same with "The school Project" you gotta let me know these things guys! I don't know if this is pathetic or not lol.. so tell me!
