The school bell just rang and all the kids ran out the door, Arnold and Gerald
were walking down the hall towards the door when a voice called out from
behind them. Arnold turned around to see Lila running towards them.
Lila: (breathless) Hi Arnold I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come
to a party with me next week.
Arnold: Uh I`m not sure I`ll check my schedule and see ok?
Lila: Ok when you do find out please call me ok?
Arnold: Sure Lila well I better go, see ya. (he said with a smile and a wave)
Lila: Bye Arnold (she said smiling and waving back)
Helga was close by hearing their conversation and suddenly hit herself
why? she thought why did I write ARNOLD LOVES LILA on the wall? If
only I kept what I wrote before maybe Arnold would be smiling at me
rather than Lila, oh how am I ever going to convince that stupid little
football head that I love him I should but how? hmm I`ll have to think on this
and with that she walked home.
Arnold just got home and hung up his coat.
Arnold: Grandpa I`m home
Grandpa: Hey there shortman, your birthday is in three weeks do you
know who you are going to invite?
Arnold: My birthday? (surprised) I completely forgot, well I`ll make a
list of my friends later, I gotta call Lila see ya later grandpa.(walks up
to his room and shuts the door.)


Meanwhile Helga is in her room laying on her bed thinking about Arnold,
pretty soon she falls asleep.
Helga:Huh? Where am I? who is that? (she sees someone in the shadows)
uh who are you? Arnold? Is that really you?
Arnold: Yes Helga, (stepping out of the shadows) I have something to tell you
Helga: Really? What is it?
Arnold: Well I... I actually have feelings for you I never knew til now but I love you Helga.
Helga: What?! You do? Are you serious? (she said feeling herself get excited as she`s hearing these words)
Arnold: Yes Helga it`s all true.
Helga: Oh Arnold!
Arnold: Oh Helga! (as they embrace each other.)
Helga wakes up holding her pillow close to her "What am I doing? I must be crazy but it was such a good dream but maybe this dream will come true maybe all I need to do is be nice and change myself around then maybe Arnold will fall for me, yes! I`ll do that it`s now or never Helga." she said to herself.
Arnold and Gerald are waiting at the bus stop when Helga and Phoebe walks up.
Arnold: Hey Helga, Hi Phoebe
Gerald: Hi Phoebe, Hi Helga
Phoebe: (blushing) Hi Gerald, Hello Arnold
Helga: Um Arnold would you like to sit with me on the bus?
Arnold: (shocked) That`s very nice of you Helga but I`m gonna be sitting with Lila, sorry maybe next time.
Helga was burning with anger Why? Lila over her? Why oh Why? Little miss perfect had to be out of the picture but how? hmm well this wasn`t gonna be easy but it just may work if she could get something to happen maybe another guy yeah! another guy after all Stinky does like Lila alot. " What a perfect plan!"

" Hmm now all I need to do is get the two of them together and get football head to notice heh what a excellent plan Helga you`re a genius!" she said to herself. She looked over and saw Lila with her head on Arnold~s shoulder, she burned with anger. " How dare she? "I even spilled my dark secret to her too she is such a tramp well I know what`ll end this!", she said with a evil smile.
The bus stopped in front of the school and everyone got out Helga decided she would talk to Stinky about Lila at lunch." Oh yeah this is gonna be sweet just then she skidded right into Arnold. ARNOLD! she said with a high yet excited voice. "I mean what are you doing here football head?"
Arnold: "Oh sorry Helga you ok?"
Helga: "Yeah I`m ok, just watch where you`re going next time. Sheesh!
Arnold: Whatever you say Helga, I better get on to class see ya, (he waved as he walked away)
Helga stared at Arnold as he walked away and said to herself, " Arnold what a dweeb, what a slob how I hate him!" , and yet I love him so thoughtful so caring so compassioniate if only I could express my feelings toward him. Brainy was standing behind her wheezing and smiled when she punched him. " I better get on to class." she said and walked toward her classroom.
At lunch Arnold was handing out envelopes.
Helga: (says to Phoebe) "I wonder what the football head is giving out this time."
Phoebe: "Oh didn`t you know?"
Helga: "Know what Phoebe tell me!
Just then Arnold handed her a envelope and Phoebe too she j took it and didn`t say a word, after all if she was to ever get a chance with him now might be a pretty good chance to start.
Helga: " So Phoebe what is this?"
Phoebe: It`s a invitation to Arnold`s birthday party are you going Helga?"
Helga: "I might, but how did you know?"
Phoebe: " Oh Gerald told me."
Perfect!, she thought now she had to find Stinky and get little miss perfect out of the way. When she spotted him she went up to him.
Helga: Hey Stinko what`s up?
Stinky: (gazing loving at Lila, Helga could tell he was jealous.) Afternoon Helga.
Helga: "Stinky I have something to tell you, you`ll want to sit down for this."
Stinky: " What is it Helga?" (He says sitting down)
Helga: "Well I overheard Lila saying that she really likes you Sinky."
Stinky: (shocked but happy) " But Helga miss Lila is with Arnold, did she say she loves me?"
Helga: (thinking yes if she was to say that then she could get Lila out of the picture, a very good plan now was the time to put it into action.) " Yes Stinky she does."
Stinky: (excited) "Gawrsh, Helga is it really true?"
Helga: (feeling so sure this was going to work said) " Yes Stinky it`s true."

Stinky: "Thanks for tellin me Helga, maybe I`ll ask her out sometime."
Helga: "Oh yeah (she said rubbing her hands together with a evil grin) She`ll love it."
Meanwhile Arnold and Lila were sitting together when Gerald came over.
Gerald: "Hey man can I speak to you for a minute?"
Arnold: "Sure (looking at Lila) " I`ll be right back ok?"
Lila: "Ok Arnold"
Gerald: "What is it with you and Lila?" I thought you two were just friends."
Arnold: "Well she changed her mind."
Gerald: "But you understand she could easily change it again don`t you?"
Arnold: "Gerald! What is with you?" Lila and I care about each other, why can`t you accept that?"
Gerald: " Hey man I`m sorry but I just don`t think Lila is right for you."
Arnold: "What do you mean?!"
Gerald: (giving his best friend a honest look) " You`ll find out."
Arnold was confused he didn`t understand what Gerald was telling him. After all he did wind up getting Lila, the girl of his dreams. But there was something in Gerald`s eyes that told him he was making a mistake,but Arnold refused to listen, Lila loves him and that`s all he cares to know.
Lila: (Seeing Arnold come back from talking with Gerald said) "Nice to see you again Arnold."
Arnold: (smiles) "Yeah you too shall we go?" I need to go for a walk."
Lila: "Sure."
Helga sees the two of them walk out of the lunchroom and starts to smile a bit, she just had a feeling this plan of her`s was gonna work out.
