The gang is now in 6th grade. They're graduating P.S.118 soon. Not much has happened. Helga's mom and dad sepereated and Helga has no idea where her mom went although her father says Miriam went to live with Olga up in Alaska. Phoebe got an invitation to go study a new animal deep in the woods of another country but she declined because Helga was having to much trouble with her family and would rather stay to help her out. Gerald hasn't change a bit. Him and Phoebe are still dating which everybody knows now so it isn't a big difference. Last but not least Arnold. Him and Helga have been going back in forth with eachother. Arnold's trying to figure out if he likes her or not and if he does what he's going to do.
It was a quiet Saturday when Helga got a call from Phoebe "Hey there's an audition for 2 singers at the school for a end of the year concert. Want to come audition with me?" Phoebe sounded quite sure Helga would say no but that's not what happened. "Sure Phebes. It'll be fun." "Well ok Helga see you in an hour."
An hour passed and Helga was chatting with Phoebe on the plan. "You sing 4 songs in the concert. You Audition 1 and they decide if you're good enough or not." "Ok. Sounds great." Helga grabbed her bag and left out the front door.
On her way there Helga was lost in thought . 'This is going to be great! I can confess my feelings for Arnold in front of everyone and no one will even know! I can also send a signal to dad that he's a great big jerk! I better get the part or I'm going to teach that sorry loser director a lesson'
"Hey Helga!" a familiar voice called out making her pull out of thought. "Huh? Oh hi Phebes." "Have you chosen your songs yet?" "Yeah but you won't know unless I get the audition." "Actually I will because you have to audtion in front of the whole 6th grade." Helga got nervous at that point knowing Arnold will hear what she's going to be sining but ofcourse he was going to hear it no matter what but she was still nervous. "Th-The wh-whole 6th grade?!" "Yeah didn't I tell you that Helga?" "No! Phoebe I…" Helga couldn't finish her sentence because the director called out Helga's name. "Helga Pataki you're next!" "Oh God…" "Helga Just go!"
Helga walked on the stage and scannned the crowed. Ofourse the first person she sees is Arnold but she tries to ignore him because he's the main source of her nervousness. "Ok Helga what song are you auditioning with for us today?" she looked over to see that it was Mr. Simmons asking her the question. 'Oh boy Mr. Rainbows and sunshine' Helga thought. "Uh I will be singing Perfect by Pink." Helga smiled because that's pretty much her theme song. "Ok Helga go ahead." The song started and automaticaly everyone was watching Helga, especialy Arnold
"Made a wrong turn once or twice dug my way out blood and fire. Bad decisions, that's alright. Welcome to my silly life. Mistreated , misplaced, misunderstood Miss "No way, it's all good" It didn't slow me down. Mistaken. Always second guessing. Underestimated. Look I'm still around. Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than less than perfect. Pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel like you're nothin' you are perfect to me."
Every 6th grader stood up and cheered. "Helga… that was amazing! You get the part!" Helga jumped up and squeled. Phoebe ran up and hugged her. "This is great Helga!" Phoebe said as they walked off the stage. Helga was talking to Phoebe when she felt a small tap on her shoulder. "Hey can't you see I'm… oh hey Arnold." Her face instantly lit up with joy to see him. He seemed nervous and was rubbing the back of his neck so Helga knew something was up. "Hey Helga… um I was just wondering if you wanted to go get some ice cream at Slausen's?".
