I'm Pretty!
What is pretty? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder is it not? Guys are attracted to girls whose interests lie anywhere from makeup to sports.
Was it Helga's masculine interests that kept Arnold's attention, or the sensitive side he knew she possessed, but was too scared to admit it?
MODELING VS DEFICIENCY
Personally, I thought you were great out there. It's the first time I ever saw you, well being nice.
Helga, I've known you my whole life practically and you've always been angry and sort of mean.
YEAH! SO…..
But I've also seen you be really loyal and super brave, so I always wondered if you did those things because you loved me.
I'm Feminine
Does being a girl really require dressing up to keep someone's attention, or is it just an amusing trait to see one show off every now and then. The less likely you are to show interest in such a thing, the more likely one is to be surprised when you do it.
FEMININE VS BEHAVIOR
Wow Helga! You've got flowers in your hair!
Yeah, you wanna make something of it?!
No! I was just thinking you looked kind of nice.
You think you're mean and nasty, but deep down, I believe you're a nice, normal, sensitive person, and maybe one day you won't be afraid to show it.
What do you know football head? I'm bad see! I'm bad to the bone bucko, and don't you forget it!
Okay Helga...
I'm Delicate
Do all men find women who are elegant and graceful attractive? A girl's looks may catch their eye, but is it what holds it to them? There's more to a relationship than fine appearances. Common interests play a major role in keeping one's attention.
STYLE VS INDEPENDENCE
I've never seen you like this. So…
Sophisticated?
Yeah. And I'd have to say that…
Yes Arnold?
Well that, I'm impressed.
I don't get it?
Because it isn't funny. Come on Helga, we know you're just saying that stuff.
What am I supposed to do?
Do the old stuff Helga.
Relationships are based on two theories: Birds of a feather or Opposites Attract. While Helga's intense behavior may have caused a wall between her and Arnold for a few years, there was still a window in which her sensitive and loving side for him shone through.
Although it took awhile, the blonde boy was right...one day she wouldn't be so afraid to show it.
THE END

And yes, I have the Helga Pataki shirt with the angry facial expression that says "I'm Pretty, I'm feminine, I'm delicate! Where'd ya think the idea for this fanfic story came from? DOI!" ;)
