Hey Arnold!
Lila, Pick Me!
By Simmer2000

Notes: Okay, here's how it goes. The boys have had a discussion and each think that Lila would pick them to go on a date with, so Arnold suggests that they should all write Lila a note and let her decide for herself. This is what each boy wrote in their note:

Dear Lila,
I know you say that you don't "like me, like me" but I'm sure that if we went to a movie together, you would think differently. I am sure we have a lot in common, and a date would be a great way for us to get to know each other better. We could even go to a burger bar afterwards. Lila, please pick me, and I'm sure that you'll have a better time with me than with any of the other boys.

Waiting for your reply,
Arnold

Yo Lila!
Why not go for a date with me? I'm the coolest boy in the fourth grade, and I know exactly how to treat a lady. We could go to a disco and I'll even show you some of my smooth dance moves. And then I'll ask the DJ to put on a slow song, especially for us, for us to dance to. Lila, please pick me, if you want your date to be with the coolest boy.

Reply soon!
Gerald

Hi Lila!
It's Eugene! Come on a date with me and I'll do everything perfectly! I'll take you anywhere you want and say all the right things! And even my accident status is improving! I've only injured myself 26 times while writing this letter. Please pick me and I'll tell you about the time I broke all the bones in my body.

Waiting safely,
Eugene

Hi boys,
Thank you ever so much for your letters. Unfortunately, I think of you as ever so good friends so I wouldn't want to ruin our ever so perfect friendship by going on an ever so confusing date. But, I would like to tell you that I am ever so flattered that you wanted me to go out with you. But your ideas for dates were ever so good!

Flattered,
Lila xxxxxx
