"Arnold with. hey there are no more paper in the girls box! Now, girls whose name wasn't called out?" Mr. Simmons asked. Helga gritted her teeth to cover her true expression. Helga raised her hands slowly " T-t-that would have t-t-o be me Mr. Simmons," Helga said sounding very "scared". "Oh well Arnold, looks like you will have to go to the Dance with Helga" Mr. Simmons said. Just then the lunch bell came on. The kids walked out while Arnold waited for Gerald by the corridor.

"Oh man! I cant believe I have to go to the dance with Helga!" Arnold cried. " I'm so happy! I get to go with Phoebe!" Gerald said. " GERALD!" Arnold cried that instance. " Sorry dude!" Gerald said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~In the cafeteria~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Helga settled once again to a place where she couldn't be seen. " Oh my love!" she started. "I will make you have the time of your life!" she cried once again. Suddenly Phoebe popped out from nowhere. " Hey Helga! What on earth are you doing?" Phoebe cried." Oh nothing! Lets go and eat!" Helga said trying to change the subject.

~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*At the table~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Well phoebe the dance is in two days aren't you exited?" Helga said with a smirk on her face. " Oh yea I am Helga. What about you?" Phoebe said. " Oh! Are you kidding me? I DON'T want to go to the dance with Football head!" Helga lied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Two Days later*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Helga changed into her gown, which she bought a day before the Dance. She snapped away her pink ribbon and changed it to the matching color, blue. She let down her hair and tied and small bunch in the front. She went to her mother's room, " Mirriam! Can I borrow your pink lipstick and your pink lip gloss?" Helga asked at the top of her voice. She wanted the night with her love to be special. " Yes hun, whatever" Mirriam cried. Helga scurried back into her room. " She applied some lipstick onto her lips. She made it look fuller by applying an extra layer of lip gloss. She put on her blue earrings which she bought together with her blue gown. She ran downstairs to the shoe compartment and found her new blue shoes in a box. She slipped into it. " Well," she whispered to herself. "Here goes," she said, " I'm leaving Mirriam!" she shouted. " Okay hun! Have fun!" she said. She began walking to Arnolds house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~At Arnold's*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Arnold changed into his tuxedo. He gelled down his hair. His cap was the matching color, black.

He took out his leather shoes. Knock-knock. "Commin'!" he shouted. He ran downstairs with one shoe in his hand. He opened the door. He stood there frozen. He dropped the shoe, with his mouth open. " Mom? Dad?" He said with a tear or two rolling down his cheeks. " Hi Honey!" Arnold's mom said half happy half sad. " Hi Son. Its been a long time," " Short man! Who is it?" Grandpa shouted. " Oh well look who's here!" he cried happily. " Dad!" Arnolds parents said at once. Arnold's mom threw a hug to grandpa. Pookie came into the room. She was speechless. Arnolds dad gave Pookie a hug. " Lets all settle down!" Grandpa announced. " What's with the tux?" Arnold's dad asked. " Oh! There's a dance tonight. My date will be here any second." Arnold replied. Knock-knock. "That's her!" Arnold said, " Mom Dad ill be back and then we could spend sometime getting to know each other again." "Bye Arnold!" The folks cried. " Hi Hel-" he paused. " WOW! You look.nice!!!" He claimed " You to Arnold," she replied. " Okay we better get going" she said.

~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*At the Dance~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Arnold held Helga's waist. They swifted to the music. " Helga you look terrific tonite" He said. " Thanks! You look nice too,"
