Arnold's P.O.V: After Helga told me her plan, we started to head to our houses. I can tell that Helga was in her little world again. I have to admit, she did look alot happier being in her own world. I wonder what she thinks about? She's probably thinking about ways of killing me. That's probably why she's so happy. I always thought Helga was an interesting person, I don't know why but her appearance always excited me. I don't have a crush on her or anything but seeing her smile makes me smile too. The way her eyes would go dim when she saw me coming her way, sometimes they would light up but mostly dim. Suddenly I see Lila coming my way. Lila I always had a crush on her since 4th grade, she was a ray of sunshine. Her lovely red hair, and her lovely dresses. I remembered when we dated, but she broke things off because she fell for Stinky. I was upset but I was also happy for them. Helga told me I should be mad but I don't know why I wasn't I was just happy for them. Lila see's me walking and she decides to come up and talk to me.
Lila: Hi Arnold.
Arnold: Hey Lila
Lila: How are you doing?
Arnold: I'm doing pretty great. Thanks for asking. How are you doing today?
Lila: I am ever so great today thank you for asking.
Arnold: Hey no problem. How are you and Stinky going along?
Lila: We are doing great. Stinky is an amazing guy. He brought me this ring while he proposed to me for The April Fool's Day Dance.
Arnold: That's so sweet of him.
Lila smiled at Arnold, and they sat in silence for a few minutes, until Lila spoke up.
Lila: So The April Fool's Day Dance is coming up. Are you planning on making an appearance this year?
Arnold: I don't know yet Lila, I never have anyone to go with when I go. So I might not go and I might go.
Helga snaps out of her "little world" and she has a look of hate on her face.
Helga: What is she doing here?
Lila: Oh Hi Helga! How are you do...
Helga: Yeah yeah yeah, cut the shit Lila. Now if you excuse us we have stuff to do.
Helga grabs Arnold's hand and leads them the opposite way of Lila. Arnold looks confused at Helga, while he is taking his hand from Helga's grip.
Arnold: Helga, why did you do that? Isn't Lila one of your friends?
Helga: Arnold, I hate Lila more than I hate you.
Arnold: Why?
Helga: Why what?
Arnold: why do you hate Lila and me?
Helga: Because ummm...
Arnold: Because What?
Suddenly Helga see' s Phoebe and Gerald walking their way. Helga runs up to Gerald and snaches Phoebe then Helga and Phoebe walked the other way while talking and laughing.
With the boys
Gerald: They were in quite a rush. What did you do?
Arnold: All I did was ask Helga...
Gerald: Woah, woah, woah! What are you doing hanging around with Helga G Pataki? Do I to be worried?
Arnold: It's not what it looks like at all. Helga and I wanted to talk to you guys but you weren't listening to us, so we left you both.
Gerald: So why did you skip school then?
Arnold: To be honest I didn't notice till Helga said something about it.
Gerald: You like Helga?
Arnold: No way! Helga hates me. She even told me she doesn't consider me a friend.
Gerald: Yeah sure she doesn't.
Arnold(rolls his eyes and sighs): Well I have to go face my parents.
Gerald: no you don't
Arnold: huh? Yes I do.
Gerald: No I want to hear about you and Helga's day today.
Arnold: All we did was talk about everyone and eat food. We didn't do much.
Gerald: Call me and tell me because I have to get home before my mom yells at me for being late again.
Arnold: Alrighty.
Arnold and Gerald does there famous hand shake and says there goodbyes and leave each other.
With the girls
Phoebe(laughing): Aw I can't believe that you and Arnold skipped school.
Helga: There's a lot of stuff I can't believe.
Phoebe: Oh yeah, like what?
Helga: The fact that we didn't talk all day today; until now.
Phoebe: well geez Helga, I didn't even know you wanted to hang out. Why didn't you say anything?
Helga: Geez Pheebs don't you think I did?
Phoebe: I'm sorry Helga. It wasn't my intention to ignore you. Can you forgive me?
Helga: Sure, But if you do it again you will be answering "Bestie and The five Avengers." Got it?
Phoebe: Getting it
After a few seconds
Phoebe: Are you going to The April Fool's Day Dance?
Helga: You and that damn dance. I'm not going.
Phoebe: Why not? It won't be fun without you?
Helga: I just want don't want to go okay? Besides I never have anyone to go with.
Phoebe: You can come with Gerald and...
Helga: I'm not going and that's final. I'm not supposed to have fun. I'm always supposed to be lonely. Pheebs you go on and have fun, I'll just stay home.
Phoebe: If that's what you want Helga. Do you want me to walk you home? Gerald can wait.
Helga: No, you go. I have something to do anyway.
Phoebe: Okay Helga, but can I ask you something first?
Helga: Sure, what's on your mind?
Phoebe: Do you still... like... Arnold?
Helga: Why are you asking me that?
Phoebe: Come on please Helga I really wanna know.
Helga: (sighs) Of course I do. I will always love Arnold. The way he smiles, his greenish-blueish eyes. The way his face lights up in the sun or moon. God Pheebs, he doesn't even have to speak and I still give myself to him. He doesn't have to ask, and I will tell him everything. So yes I love him. He is my sky and my ground, my heaven and hell, my night and day. I live, sleep, and eat Arnold. He still makes me tingle in some spots that shouldn't be tingling. He's just so perfect.
Phoebe: Well why don't you tell him any of that?
Helga: Because
Phoebe: Helga, I want to help you; but the only way I can help you if you let me help you. Now tell me why you can't tell him how you feel.
Helga looks at the ground and just pauses. Phoebe being the smart girl she is figures out why she is scared to tell Arnold how she feels.
Phoebe: Helga, you don't have to be scared of rejection. If he doesn't feel the same, you move on and forget about him. Do you want me to be there when you tell him how you feel?
Helga: I'll tell him later, but for now I better get going I have stuff to do.
Phoebe: Well you should tell him soon, you kept this secret to yourself for 7 years. Don't you think he should know now?
Helga ( huffing and Puffing) Goddamnit, I'll tell him when I'm ready Okay Pheebs? Now drop it and let it go.
Phoebe: Okay Helga.
Phoebe smiles and gives Helga a hug. Being Helga, she rolls her eyes and huffs and puffs. They say there good-byes and go their separate ways. Helga started to walk to her house,she wasn't used to walking home alone. Helga noticed how it was dark outside by the time she got home. She also noticed that BIg Bob was outside waiting for Helga to come home. Helga just huffed and puffed and rolled her bright blue eyes.
Big Bob: Where have you been girl? It's dark outside, you should've been here hours ago.
Helga: Oh shocking, I'm actually being notice today. What's the catch?
Miram: Bob, did we feed the dog?
Helga: Miram, we don't have a dog
Miriam: Oh, hi Olga, I haven't seen you since yesterday.
Helga rolls her eyes and goes upstairs to her room where she finds a rose and a letter from Wolfgang. Helga reads the letter aloud.
Helga(reading): Dear Princess, I know you don't like me anymore, but please spend The April Fool's Day Dance with me. I understand if you don't want to go. But at least wear the clothes I brought you. Let me know if you want to go or not. And remember I'll always love you no matter what baby girl. Love, your one and only Wolfgang.
Helga puts the letter in her cabinet of other letters, then looks in her closet. She saw new expensive skirts, pants, shirts and shoes.
Helga: Wow, he spoils me so much. Well let me take a shower, do some type of homework, then go to sleep.
Helga took a shower, washed her hair, and did her English homework. Then 2 hours later she went to find something to eat. She looks in the fridge nothing there, looks in the cabinets nothing there, she then looks in her secret stash of food and nothing there.
Helga: Miram, when was the last time you went food shopping. There is nothing to eat around here.
Miriam: Oh, I don't know Hegla. I can go after work tomorrow okay?
Helga: Miram, I'm starving. I haven't ate since yesterday. Meaning no breakfast, no lunch, and now no dinner. Miriam and Bob, you need to get yourself together.
Helga goes upstairs to change into a pink crop top and white jeans.
Big Bob: Hey, where do you think your going little lady and dressed like that? Olga doesn't wear those type of clothes
Helga glares at Big B and slams the door. Then yelled through the door.
Helga: I'm not fucking Olga. I'm Helga, stop comparing me to that dumb bitch.
