Hey guys! So, I'm writing this story for three main reasons:

Multi-tasking makes me more productive.

I love body-switching stories and there aren't a lot of Hey Arnold! Ones.

IN ALL OF THEM (((ALL OF THEM))) THEYRE ALWAYS ALL LIKE "but how will we shower DD:" AND IT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH PUT ON A BATHING SUIT FOR GOD'S SAKE!

That's all, enjoy~

"Mmm-mm-m, man, I can't believe your assigned partner was Helga Pataki, I doubt she'll do any of the work." Gerald said to Arnold as they walked towards the bus at the end of the school day.

"Come on, Gerald, I'm sure she won't be that bad." Arnold said, with his typical blind optimism.

"Whatever you say, but I'm warning you, that is not gonna be fun."

The two hopped on the bus, following them, a small Japanese girl and a large, grumpy Helga Pataki, well, she wanted people to believe she was grumpy, in actuality, she was on the verge of celebration because she was partnered up with the love of her life, she was too distracted to hear what her best friend was saying.

"Helga, Helga."

"Huh, oh, yea?"

"What are you and your partner going to do for the science project?"

"Oh, I dunno."

"Oh, well, I was thinking me and Gerald would..."

Helga was too distracted to pay attention to Phoebe, her mind was racing with romantic, and probably improbable thoughts of her love, Arnold.

*********Later, Arnold's house.

CLOCK: 4:57PM

"Well, I guess I better call Helga about this science project thing." He said, despite silently dreading that call.

He dialed the number. One ring, as if Helga was waiting at the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Helga, it's Arnold, I got all the stuff for the science project ready, if you want to come over and do it."

Helga was happy, feeling as though he wouldn't have ever asked.

She tried to stay casual.

"Alright, Arnoldo, I'll be there in five."

She hung up the phone.

*****SIX minutes later

There's a knock at the door.

"Oh, hey Helga."

"Don't say anything stupid, Pataki." Helga thought to herself.

"Hi, Arnold, let's do this science project, or whatever."

The two went up to Arnold's room, there was a long table with two jumper cables, a small car battery, and some parts that looked like they were either a) from an old go-kart, or b) taken from a trash dump.

"This already looks like a bad idea." Helga said, worried one of them would get hurt or break something

"Yea, we're just gonna make a simple battery powered robot."

"Alright, let's do this."

The two started working, mainly just assembling structural parts and making a design, before they got to the real science stuff, the battery.

"Alright, just hook that cable up to the left side of the battery." Arnold pointed, but he wasn't really looking as to where he was pointing, making Helga grab the wrong cable.

"Wait no not that one!" Arnold rushed his hand down to grab the cable out of Helga's hand, even though she had already attached it, causing a shock in both of them.

BzzZbZZZZzzzZzzzzzzzz

Neither got hurt, but they both lost their balance.

"Helga, you grabbed the wrong cable." Arnold said while the two had their eyes closed, rubbing their heads from the shock.

"Point better next time, and whats up with your voic-" Helga opened her eyes, only to see herself looking back at her.

"AGGGGH!" She screamed very loudly.

"Helga, there's no need to-." Arnold opened his eyes, "Sc-scream."

They both stood there, horrified, not exactly knowing how to react.

"Uhh, you're not Helga."

"Yea, and you're not Arnold, we definitely had control over this."

"Maybe there's a way to fix this."

They tried shocking themselves again, but to no avail.

"Ok, ok, ok, we just have to figure this out." Arnold said.

"Arnold, it's 9:23PM and we can't find a way to fix this, we should just finish the stupid project and figure this out tomorrow."

"You're ok with this!?"

"You think I'm ok with this!? I'm tired, and confused, and stuck in a wimpy, 13 year old boy's body, while he's stuck in mine."

"Ok, well, I don't want to be in your...girl body either! Let's just finish this then."

The two quickly finished the project and decided to call it a night.

"Alright, well, I guess you can go home and we can figure this out in the morning."

"Uh, Arnold." Helga said, unenthusiastically, "I don't know if you knew this, but I'm in your body, and this is your house."

Arnold paused for a second, "Oh...right.. So I guess that means I have to go to your house."

"You don't say?"

"Well bye, I guess, Arnold picked up his backpack and made his way to the door."

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Leaving."

"Arnold, you're me, and that's your backpack. Here, let me give you mine, I just gotta, get some stuff out of it."

Helga took some pink diaries and a math book (Which had a mini Arnold shrine in it) and put them on his bed, upside down so he couldn't see the titles, she left one in which she believed exposed no secrets.

"Hand me your backpack." She said, putting out her hand.

He did.

"Helga, aren't we gonna have to like, act like eachother."

"Wow! No way! I totally didn't know that!" She said sarcastically.

"Helga! This is serious!"

"I know, just, go home we'll figure it all out tomorrow, Saturday."

"Ok, I guess, bye then."

Hi! Sorry if this seems a little out there and not Hey Arnold!-ish, I just REALLY love body switching stories, hope you enjoy, sorry for the kind of cliff hanger ending, and, no, I didn't abandon "A Unique School Dance" I just needed more to do, multi-tasking actually helps me work better, I already said that, I'm just rambling at this point, anyhoo, have a good day, even though it's 1:42 A.M

~Luv u lots
