The Last Straw
Disclaimer: I do not own Hey Arnold!
…...
It was another day at P.S.118 in Mr. Simmons class. Helga was doing her usual spitballs at Arnold, Harold dozing off and Curly trying to kiss Rhonda.
"Get away from me you little freak!" Rhonda pushed Curly.
"Never, ahahahahaha!" Curly said while trying to kiss Rhonda again.
"Ughhh."
The bell rung signaling time for lunch. Everyone made their way to the cafeteria and into the lunch line. Helga decided to cut in front of Arnold to get the last tapioca pudding.
"Helga, why don't you get in line like the rest of us?"
"Why should I Football Head?"
"Because it's only fair."
"Yeah yeah, whatever" as Helga grabbed the last tapioca pudding.
"Helga, I was looking forward to have some tapioca pudding, could I have it, please?"
"No way hair boy!"
"Helga.."
"Okay, fine."
Helga carelessly dropped the pudding into Arnold's hands before slipping out and getting all over his shirt.
"Whoops, how clumsy of you" as she walked away laughing to sit with Phoebe.
"Mmmmmm, mmmmmmm, mmmmmm" Gerald was shaking his head. "Arnold, when will you show her who's boss?"
"Gerald, I don't want to stoop down to her level, it's better if I just ignore her" as Arnold was cleaning the pudding off of himself.
"Whatever you say, Arnold."
…...
There was 10 minutes left in class before everyone can go home. Helga kept throwing spitballs at Arnold. Arnold just kept his cool for as long as he could. Helga was packed up at ready to go once the bell rang. And on cue, the bell rang. She got up from her seat and ran down the isle, but not before stealing Arnold's hat from his head.
"Helga! Give that back!" as Arnold got up from his seat to chase her down. He looked down the hallways but couldn't find her in the sea of children. That does it, when I get my hands on... Arnold shook his bad thoughts and continued looking for Helga. Outside the school, Helga was running home cackling to herself for stealing his hat. The first time she got his hat was when it blew onto the roof from a gust of wind.
"Hahahaha, I got his hat again!" as she went inside her house and up the stairs into her room. She took his hat and opened the closet door. Helga turned on the lights and moved her clothes aside. There staring back at her was Arnold, but with a football, button eyes and yellow yarn hair. She put his hat in the center of his head.
"It is complete!" as she opened one of her pink books and started writing away.
A few minutes later, the phone rang and Helga picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Konichiwa, Helga" Phoebe chirped.
"Hey Pheebs, what's up?"
"Well I was wondering if you would like to come over to work on our project for science class."
"Alright, Pheebs, I'll be there soon."
"Okay Helga, see you."
"See you" Helga said before putting the phone back to it's place.
Helga went back into closet and put her pink book she was writing on back with her other pink books.
"See you later my beloved" as she turned off the lights to her closet. She put her locket on her table and left her room and out the house on her way to Phoebe's.
…...
Arnold was very upset on the inside. His hat had been stolen from him by none other than Helga.
"Arnold, we better get your hat back."
"You're right Gerald."
Arnold and Gerald walked to Helga's house to get back his hat.
"Yo Arnold, there's Helga, but I don't see your hat in her hands. I wonder where she is going."
"I don't know, she probably left it in her house, let's keep going."
They continued walking to her house. As they reached to her stoop, it looked as if no one was home. Arnold walked up the stairs and knocked the door. He waited a minute before knocking again. Still no answer.
"It looks like no one is home, Gerald, what should we do?"
"Hmm, maybe there is a key around here somewhere."
"Why would they leave a key out here?"
"Beats me, let's just look"
They both searched around the front of house but couldn't find a thing. Arnold kicked a rock in frustration before he heard a metallic sound.
"Hey look, a key."
"Good work, Arnold."
Arnold picked up the key and put it inside the keyhole. He turned the key and the door clicked. He turned the doorknob and they both went inside and closed the door behind them. Inside, Arnold and Gerald looked around the house.
"This is a pretty nice house they have here."
"Yeah, Gerald, and look at all those trophies. I wonder who they belong to."
"I don't know man, probably her sister or something, let's just look for your hat."
Arnold looked in the kitchen but couldn't find it in there. Gerald looked in the dining room but it wasn't there either. So they decided to go upstairs to look to see if it was there. Gerald checked Helga's parents room, but wasn't seen. Arnold checked Olga's room but didn't see it there. They both check the bathroom and it wasn't there either. They had one room left: Helga's.
