It is my first fanfic about Hey Arnold-Tom and Jerry cross-over, and I glad to see some reviews. I make that idea since I watched the Serbian movie St. George Shoots the Dragon.
P.S.: Hey Arnold belongs to Craig Bartlett; Tom and Jerry belong to William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Neven Potević belongs to me.

January, 1913
Balkan Peninsula
"Neven, are you alright? It seems like you're tired." – a voice began. It was Arnold.
"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm not tired. Told it to Martin." – replied Neven.
"We're in Balkan, right? In Ottoman Empire's own land. We're attacking Adrianople, and I believe that we shall win the battle."
"Thank you Arnold. It's time."
A general was arriving to their tent. It was Colonel Đorjan of Serbian Army. During this time, they were fighting in Adrianople, January 1913. A lot of Bulgarian-Serbian troops were surrounding the city. They waited the signal from the Turks. And finally, the battle continued.
"BOOM!" – Ottoman troops fired. Neven ran to Martin:
"Martin, will you follow me, and our Balkan League?"
"Don't worry. Besides, after war, we will return home, and get married."
"What ever, Martin."
But the place where Martin and Neven were standing in direct to an artillery of Ottoman Army. Inside the fort, an Ottoman commander shouted:
"ATEŞ!" (FIRE!)
Neven heard the sound of an ammo, he looked to the sky, and was shocked. He said:
"LOOK OUT…!"
It was exploded. Martin was survived, but when he looked to Neven, suddenly he saw… Neven… had changed… forever…

October, 1913
Belgrade, Serbia
Belgrade Train Station…
Helga and Rhonda had waited in Belgrade, and finally, Arnold, Martin and Neven walked out. Nikol then brought to Neven flowers, but suddenly, Neven had cold-hearted, said:
"I don't need it any more, Nikol. Bring it to my grave."
"Neven, what are you thinking?"
"Reason huh? Here."
He opened his coats, and all realized that he had lost his left hand. He told to Nikol:
"Nikol, I want to alone. Stay out… from now."
Helga looked Neven. That tomboy girl did not like his cold-hearted, due to history, he was very happy to play nice with her. Arnold, her best friend and… lover, arrived: "Arnold, follow me. I like to see something from you, but you know… it must be… reasonable." Right then, Martin told to the others, especially Lily.
"Let's go. We should help Neven about that."
They moved out from Belgrade…

Novi Pazar, Serbia
"Tomas 'Toma' Mačka, poštujem vaš nalog, ali ne bi trebalo da to učine." (Thomas 'Tom' Cat, I respect your order, but you should not do it.)
"Кога брига, Лигхтнинг? Аустро-Угарска жели да нападне Балкан, док смо британских официра који су послати да тренира у Српску војску. Ми смо ништа да кажем, брате. Можете изаћи." (Who care, Lightning? Austria-Hungary wants to invade Balkans, while we're British Officers who had been sent to coach the Serbian Army. We've nothing to say, bro. You can go out.)
Arnold, Neven and Martin arrived back to their hometown: Novi Pazar. Neven told, but unhappy:
"Well, guys, want to me Lieutenant Thomas?"
"Lieutenant Thomas?"
"He and his friends are very special, so you should spend time to get familiar."
Then, Thomas opened the door, and saw Neven. Thomas laughed: "Is that Neven? Oh boy, you're late! Hahaha…" Neven came to Tom, but with cold-faced. Tom looked back, and asked: "Neven, what's going on to you? Why you look so…" Neven opened his coats: "It is my answer. You shouldn't talk about happy anymore." Tom shaked his head: "Oh dear boy…" Arnold told to Martin:
"It seems like Neven did not want to live anymore."
"Yeah. Neven has lost his left hand, so now he wants to die is easy to understand. We need to follow him." – Martin said.
They walked out from the car, and met Thomas, a light-blue cat who wore an uniform of British Army. Tom said:
"Well… what are you doing here, Arnold?"
"Why do you know my name?"
"Neven told me. So, Arnold… why Neven looks so… sad?"
"Mr. Tom, he has fought with us in Balkan durings war, but during the battle of Adrianople, he has been hit an ammo, and lost his hand, left hand, sir."
"I've seen, but I don't like to see that. Besides, he is my man. Well, and…"
Arnold's grandpa, Filip, appeared: "Arnold, let's go. We have a farm to build!" Arnold arrived: "Yes grandpa. So… where is my parents?" Mr. Filip said: "Just go in, dear. We have not much time to do." and they worked…
Few days later…
Novi Pazar, Serbia
10:00 A.M
Neven arrived back, and said nothing about it. Arnold asked:
"Neven, you only sit down in your home. What was happening to you few days ago?"
"Nothing, Arnold. Nothing else was happened."
"So… how about the farm. Want to join us?" – Lily asked. "Thank you, Lily. I guess I've begun without left hand."
Lieutenant Tom and Officer Lightning came to the field where Arnold and Neven began to work. Tom did smile for that.
"Oh my… we cannot stay with them any longer, so… Neven must understand that I have helped his parents during the Balkan Wars."
"Just like I think."
"Hi Tom, hi Lightning, what to join the farm?" – Lily asked again, this time directed Tom Cat and Lightning Cat. Helga said: "Lily, they don't know how to raise a seeds. They're English Officers." Lily replied: "Oh don't worry about that, I'll help them. Are you want to join?" Thomas and Lightning just smiled: "No no. You just keep continue. I'll go outside." So the gang had begun to work on the rice field in Novi Pazar.
