-Chapter one-

Things had definatly changed since 5th grade for example helga let her true side show and Phoebe had become a little more relaxed. Aronld was still his self as helpful as ever, but it seemed he had become more popular if that was even possible. Her secert still remained as it always had for Helga was scared that maybe if it did her life would be over. Gerald was now on the basketball team captain of course. Aronld was the captain of the baseball team and seemed he had ever girl after him within in a 50 mile radius. They were all now 16 which is safe to say in their own worlds.

Aronld P.o.V Hey aronld...hey aronld...hey aronld Aronld woke up tired pratice ran longer than usual. Well that and lila had tried to contact him again, but ever since he caught her with Arnie He wanted nothing to do with her. He realized long ago that what helga had told him was right and ever since he regreted pushing her away because of it. Getting up and running down the shower so being late wasnt a choice. After running back upstairs he grabbed his usual jeans, sneakers, and green shirt. Aronld had grown he was now 6'1 with his blond hair and still even had his hat for it was one of the few thingsthat he felt still attached him to them. Safe to say his looks were defeinatly a blessing.

"Shortman, Get down here! time to eat" called his Grandpa from down stairs

"Coming granpa!" Aronld replied in his usual tone

Once down stairs Aronld hovered what his unquie yet loveable grandma. He grabbed his keys and eveything else and ran as he ran out the door.

"Bye Grandma! Bye Grandpa!" Aronld said as he ran out the door. His phone went off gerald's car was still on the shop so he picked him up. Once in the car the did there hand shake that they had since they were kids.

"So my man you ready for the game saturday?" Gerald asked apparently over excited.

"Yeah been looking forward to it since monday. How about your game you locked and loaded?" Replied aronld smiling with a chuckle

"Yep and Cant wait to see my girl." Replied Gerald with a lovesick grin spread across his face.

Since freshman year gerald had been going strong for it was quite obivious that love was present. Gerald had grown tall a little taller than aronld. He was 6'2 and had cut his tall hair off long ago although at times he did miss it. He still wore 33 for it seemed to be his lucky number since he was a kid.

"yeah i bet" aronld said back happy for his best friend.

Gerald knew ever girl in school wanted aronld, but it seemed evertime he got close he pushed the girl away or closed him self off.

"You know man, being lonely really is not your thing" Stated gerald clearly worried for his best pal Aronld replied with a simple wishful voice "I know"

Once He parked he walked into school and the first thing he saw was helga as always with phoebe. Helga had changed but aronld busy with his own life failed to notice. Also thtas she was in the boat. Yes she had dated, but every time she did he got jealous without truely understanding why. he felt bad for not talking to her. Although, he did try she she seemed closed off to him like when they were kids. He was still so dense he never saw how much she truely loved him or the signs. The looks, or the behavior, mostly the anger that was once on display.

Helga's P.O.V

The morning started like ever other day like shit. Helga got up deciding today to try and impress also to show that she could in face be girly, but seems that her attempts were useless. She ran to her closet pulling out a pink Halter and regular jeans that shaped her lower in all the right places. She left her hair down like she had when she was playing the fake ceceil as a child. Happy with her hair and make-up She went down stairs as usual. Bob and Miram still didn't notice or seem to care going into the kitchen to hopefully find something for lunch ifat all possible. Miriam asleep on the table from one of her "smoothies".

"Olga!get in here" Yelled Bob from the living room

Helga Mumbling under her breath walked in there with a very fake smile. There he stood cranky as always negcleting his younger daughter's feelings.

"Its Helga Bob! Crimany! what do you want?" Repsoned Helga in her usual tone.

"Where are you going girl?" Asked Bob not getting the obvious

'School Bob!Doi!" Replied Helga through Groounded teeth

Bob threw her lunch money as he ran out the door without saying word to either. Helgas world wasnt perfect nor had it truely ever been. The only thing that gave light to her world was Aronld her dense knight and shinging armor that caused he to swoon almost everytime. She had stopped Monologging years ago, but her heart had never truely stopped beating for him. Somehow she still held hope, even though at times her heartt felt like breaking for the last 13 years. Helga had changed her hair much longer,
much nicerthan her past self was although at times that side shone through. Her eyes blue as ever, she stopped growing at 5'10; which in her mind was still pretty good. Phoebe was outside waiting as she did every morning. Helga was greatful for her for she was always there no matter what. Phoebe still had thesame black hair only it was tied back in a ponytail. she was still short, but not oneyou wanted to cross. Over the years she had taken on some of helgas traits, which wasnt totally a bad thing. Phoebehad been dating gerald for sometime now and truely couldn't be happier.

"Greeting's Helga" Chirpped phoebe in a very happy mood

"Hey Pheeb's how was the date Geraldo?" Repiled helga

Phoebe Blushed, "Perfect helga" She replied smiling ear to ear

In truth Helga couldn't be happier for Phoebe except for the fact that her prince charming never seemed to know she existed, but maybe it was time for that change she thought with a smile.

"Helga, you need to tell "ice cream" how you feel I don"t like see you alone." Stated Phoebe with a worried undertone.

"Its not that easy Pheeb's" Replied a frustated helga

The silence was a knowing one from the conversion for the same topic that had been discussed over the years. It was one of those moments phoebe decided it was time to get the ball rolling they had both stalled long euough. Her and gerald had known for years that Helga and Aronld were never gonna make the move so it was time to do it for them. Helga had done so much over the years she wanted to repay her by giving her the one thing she had wanted her whole life. Once in teh parking lot she parked next to arnold. Helga's heart always started to beat fasteronce she saw arnold or even heard him, hell he was he true weakness. Seeing that they had started to to walk towards them Phoebe was excited, but helga was scared not to mention nervous he hadn't talked to her in so long as least a normal conversation. She thought it was now or never Helga thought for she had waited long enough.
