I dun own Hey Arnold…and if I did that'd be pretty cool.



The recess bell rang and the students did not hesitate to run out into the playground in the middle of the teacher's lecture. Helga picked up a foursquare ball, quickly ran to a foursquare court and stood in square number one. She bounced the ball, waiting for other members to come. Harold went into one square, Arnold, and then Phoebe.

"Okay you bunch of losers! See if anyone of you wimps can defeat me!" Helga bounced the ball a couple of times before serving across to Arnold, who bounced it to Phoebe. She passed it too Harold who missed it. The ball rolled out of the court.

"You're out pink boy!" Helga pointed to the end of the line.

"No fair! I wasn't ready!" Harold yelled and folded him arms.

"Harold, you're supposed to be ready at all times during the game," Phoebe said matter-of-factly. Helga lowered her eyebrow.

"You heard her. Now get your heavy frame to the end of the line!" Helga scowled, becoming impatient. Harold was furious and mumbled something along of lines of 'madam fortress mommy.' Sid came into the court and Helga again served the ball to this time Phoebe, who passed it to Sid. Sid started rapidly bouncing the ball in his hand.

"Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-" Sid continued. Helga folded her arms and waited for him to serve to someone.

"Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-CORN!" Unexpectedly, Sid passed the ball to Helga. The ball bounced on the very corner (near the middle) of the court. Not wanting to miss it, Helga jumped forward, and alas, her foot stepped on the hem of her dress. About one foot from the bottom of her dress made a loud ripping noise. The bottom half of her dress had been ripped off. The worse thing is? She did it too her self. Everyone is entitled to a few embarrassing mistakes, and she just used one of hers.

Helga froze and stood there, dumbfounded and totally unaware of her surrounding. It couldn't possibly have been more then 2 seconds, but to her, it felt like someone had froze time. Phoebe put her hand on her mouth. Rhonda, who was standing in a crowd watching the game, had let out a small giggle. Helga's first thought was "Run."

She quickly ran out of the court, shoving who ever was in her way, into the school building and into the bathroom stall, completely ignoring the "Do not Run in the Halls" rule that had been posted in many of the halls.

Helga stood in a bathroom stall and bit her fingers nervously. She sat down on the toilet. She told herself she was never going to come out. Not on her life. Not after what had just happened. Sid and the other kids would never let her forget it. She heard the bathroom door open and a small timid voice.
