Chapter 1- The Plan

"Hello Phoebe, can you help me out for something?" Helga asked, twirling her finger in the telephone cord nervously.

"Sure, Helga but what is it?" Phoebe answered in the receiver of her phone while getting a notepad in her neat and organized desk.

"Um…okay, it's like this…can you come with me and go to Madam Rosmerta's?"

"Why?" Phoebe asked, her brow furrowed.

"Because…do you know what I mean about Arnold…the way I…like him?"

"Yes."

"Since you know it already I just wanted you to come with me to buy a potion that'll change my appearance into Ruth and then—you know," Helga said.

"Kiss you? Helga, are you crazy? You are changing your physical appearance into Ruth? What if she passes by and saw a person that looks exactly like her?" Phoebe asked with a tone that makes Helga nervous.

"Please Phoebe, you're my only hope," Helga said in her most sincere voice.

Phoebe sighed loudly and said, "Okay, Helga."

"Thanks Phoebe, meet you in your house by 15 minutes," Helga said, hanging the phone.

Helga sighed dreamily and said, holding Arnold's picture in her chest, closing her eyes. "At last I can touch those adorable lips with great love and passion but then…I'm not…Helga."

She put out the dreamy face she had and exchange it with a sad look.

'If only he would know that the girl that kisses him is me,' she thought desperately. 'Why, oh, why can't I make my mouth shut everytime he's there, helping me.'

Helga dressed up and headed straight for Phoebe's house. She knocked the door of Phoebe's house.

"Hi, Helga. Are you ready?" Phoebe asked.

Helga nodded. They walked together and when they arrive at Madam Rosmerta's potion shop, Helga nodded at Phoebe. They entered the shop and instead of a door, they passed through a purple curtain with gold and silver stars and moons on it.

"Good afternoon, Helga and Phoebe," a voice said that made Helga and Phoebe jump.

They looked around and saw Madam Rosmerta sitting in a big, comfortable chair.

"What do you want, my dear?" She asked, her eyes looking at Helga.

"Um…er…ah, do you have a potion that will change my—appearance into someone else?"

"Yes, yes, my dear, I have all of the Polyjuice potion's ingredients but there is one ingredient that I don't have," Madam Rosmerta said in a scary voice that makes Helga and Phoebe shiver.

"What was it, Madam?" Helga asked.

"A piece of hair or a finger nail of the person you're changing to and then I will be the one to make the Polyjuice potion for you, my dear," She said softly but still scary.

"Um…okay but, how much is the bottle of the Polyjuice potion?" Helga asked, not sure on what she is saying.

"10 dollars, my dear and—" She paused.

"And what?" Helga asked

"And if you give the ingredient I'm asking for you earlier than four days, I'll make it 7 bucks," Madam Rosmerta said.

"Yes, Madam Rosmerta and…thanks," Helga and Phoebe smiled at her.

-----ooOoo-----

"But Helga, how will you get a piece of hair from Ruth?" Phoebe asked when both of them were walking in the street.

"I've got a plan," Helga said, grinning at Phoebe.

Helga told the plan to Phoebe.

Author's Notes: That's all for Chapter 1, folks! Too short, huh? Well, don't worry, Chapter 2 is up already. And remember you have a promise. J

Disclaimer: Oh! I almost forgot, I don't own the Polyjuice Potion, it belongs to J.K. Rowling. She is the author of the Harry Potter books and believe me, her books are so nice.
