As the day in the neighborhood continued, still being in the morning, all of the young Shortman boys were hanging out by Slausens, the only ice cream parlour the Patakis and The Shortmans share unfortunately to them both, that was at the edge of town and next to the ocean, and they were eating a different frozen treat they had in their hand.
They all talked, laughed, shared stories and whatnot, and yet, all of them still had nothing to do today except eating their different and sweet treat from the ice cream parlour. There was now silence between them except for the warm spring breeze flowing in the air.
But then there was chuckles from somewhere from one of the boys as they looked around to see who it was as the small bits of laughter continued. The boys finally turned to Sid, who was chuckling here and there. They all looked at the chuckling boy in confusion, wondering what their fellow Shortman found funny-.
"Ok guys! This one will kill you! What is everyone's favorite day for ice cream?" He then held up his chocolate ice cream cone as the rest of the boys still looked at him in confusion. "Sundae! Hahahaha! You get it?! Sunday and sundae?!" Sid then laughed out loud as he had his free hand on his knee while he still sat down.
Sid then looked back at the guys as they started to sigh and rolled their eyes a little at the joke. Their fellow Shortman continued, "No? Ok ok ok! What did the janitor say when he jumped out of the closet? 'Supplies!'" Sid laughed again as the Shortman boys still looked at him with dull and annoyed looks.
He continued on laughing as Sid said to myself, while looking down to the ground he was sitting on, "That's so funny!" He quickly looked around and he sees a man selling clams and other seafoods at his stand on the other side of the street. Sid smiled as he turned back to the other Shortman boys.
Why wouldn't the clam share his toys? Because, he was SHELLfish!" He laughed even harder as the guys sighed again and shook their heads as they went back looking at their friend making jokes. Sid also sees some clothes in a bag from a Wellington walking down the other sidewalk across from them. Sid smiled more as another joke came to him.
"Hey hey hey! What did the model say when she got tangled up in fabric?" Sid then grabbed the collar of his shirt and put his head in it, put both of his hands on both of sides of his face, while he surprisingly held his ice cream in one of his hands, and said with a shaky smile, in a fake panic, and trying not to break into laughter while telling the joke, expression, "Felt! Feeeelllt! BwahahaHAHA!"
Sid laughed even harder as he said to the guys, "Oh man! I'm a comedic genius!" He laughed harder as Sid ran out of breathe and laid his back on the sidewalk while the rest of the Shortmans just looked at their fellow Shortman with dull looks, hoping that the bad jokes will end soon.
Meanwhile with Arnold...
As Arnold was walking over to the church outside of the neighborhood, he was in a dark green tux and had on a green and blue flower in his vest pocket. Arnold walked inside as he looked around the church. It was a large building and it was dark. "Friar Simmons?" His voice echoed as Arnold kinda yelled out the Friars name, but there was no response.
"Uh... Friar Simmons?" He said, sounding unsure. Arnold started to walk more into the church while looking around the big room. But then he stopped as he was near the stairs, Arnold sees a light yellow glow. He started to slowly walk up the stairs, being cautious on what it was. And then the blonde boy heard voices. Two of them actually.
As Arnold finally went up the stairs, he sees Friar Simmons putting some ingredients into a rusty old cauldron as a woman stood next to him, saying the words as Friar Simmons could say it back, and put more items into the big rusty pot. Arnold then recognized the woman. It was Madame Blanche, the potion maker!
The reason Arnold knew the older woman was because she was kind to his family. Even to Helga's family. Arnold then started to wave at the two adults a few feet away from him. "Friar Simmons...?" Arnold asked with a little smile while he waved a bit. He got the Friars attention as he complained in surprise, by the young boy suddenly being here.
Friar Simmons then accidentally slipped into the cauldron, a bright sunset color of smoke and flames coming out of the big pot. Arnold gasped in surprise at the reaction from the Friar. "Friar!" But then Friar Simmons climbed out of the pot as he coughed and choked a bit while he was covered in dark grey dust.
The Friar snorted, by how much smoke and dust was up his nose also when he accidentally slipped into the cauldron, causing Arnold to chuckle a little, but then he cleared his throat as he walked up more to the two adults. "Uh... Friar Simmons?" "Oh! Arnold my boy how are you?" Friar Simmons asked as Madame Blanche helped him out of the cauldron.
Arnold smiled more and started to blush as he said, "I'm in love Friar!" The two adults looked at the boy in surprise until they smiled at Arnold, walking up him. "Ah very good Arnold! Very good!" "And who, is the lucky girl?" Madame Blanche asked as they both looked at the blond boy with intrigued eyes.
Arnold then had a half lidded gaze while smiling and blushing more as he responded back to the adults. "Helga~! Of the Pataki family~...!" Then Madame Blanche and Friar Simmons gasped while looking at Arnold in shock. Arnold looked at them in slight surprise, wondering what's got them so shocked.
Friar Simmons then said, "Y-You...You just..." Arnold couldn't help but giggle and blush a little while looking a bit bashful of him telling this out loud. "Wha?! Your mad!" Friar Simmons and Madame Blanche suddenly said in unison as the two adults went back to the cauldron.
"Please! Friar Simmons! I ask only that you marry us!" Friar stopped in his tracks as he turned back to Arnold with a shocked look. ""What?! Marry you? A Shortman and a Pataki?!" "Y-Yeahuh..." Arnold said nervously. "O-Oh your mad! Insane!" Friar Simmons continue to go back to the cauldron. "Oh Friar please!" "Now I know your mad!"
He then sighed in tiredness as Friar Simmons turned back to the young Shortman boy. "Can you imagine what would happen if I married a Shortman and a Pataki? Huh huh?" Arnold looked at the adult in slight surprise, until he hanged his head in sadness, saying, but when he said the last part, he looked back up at the Friar, "Please Friar. I love her."
Friar Simmons looked at Arnold with surprise, not expecting so much sadness from the boy. He sighed as Friar hanged his head, trying to think on what to do. But then, Arnold and Friar Simmons heard some words being said out loud. It was Madame Blanche. She looked down to the cauldron with concentration, saying, "A Pataki and a Shortman. Huh."
She then reached into her bag, that was full of different ingredients and bottles full of potions and other substances, as Madame Blanche got out a piece of rock. She then cracked by the edge of the cauldron as what came out of the rock were two small and shiny gems, an emerald, and a sapphire. She made the two tiny jewels fall into the cauldron saying, "A Shortman and a Pataki."
Then suddenly, a sunset color fire came out of the big pot as Arnold and Friar Simmons looked at the cauldron in amazement, but then Madame Blanche see's two different colored figures as she surrounded it with her hands with focusness, and made the two colored smoke figures go up to view for the three of them. The blue colored smoke figure looked like Helga and the green colored smoke figure looked like Arnold.
The three beings in the church then sees more blue and green figures coming out of the cauldron as they heard the wedding march playing and they see Arnold and Helga kiss. The other blue and green figures all danced and cheered at the two, rejoicing. Friar Simmons examined the whole thing closely and said, turning to Arnold. "Huh... ok Arnold. I'll do it."
Arnold smiled and ran to Friar Simmons, now standing in front of him. "Oh thank you thank you thank you! Thank you Friar Simmons!" Friar Simmons and Madame Blanche smiled at the young boy being happy about Friar Simmons decision. "Maybe this marriage will bring peace to your two families after all." Madame Blanche said with a little smile.
But then there was a figure at the bottom of the stairs, which Madame Blanche, Friar Simmons, and Arnold didn't noticed, until, "Arnold...?" Said a distant voice. Arnold gasped, thinking that it was his love, as he quickly went to the top of the stairs as he sees Helga. She looked around the church curiously, wondering on where her beloved was, as she was carrying a dark blue satchel.
Helga wore but an ankle length light blue dress that had gold, pink, and even some purple shiny stitched roses as a design at the bottom and the sleeves were long. She also had on a flower crown that had pink, blue, and yellow flowers on them. On her feet, were simple white flats. And for her hair, her gold pigtails were up in her original hairstyle.
She then turned to Arnold and smiled and blushed at him instantly. And the same thing with Arnold as he immediately sees his love's beautiful face.
"Arnold~!"
"Helga~!"
Then the two kids ran to each other with happy and loving smiles on their lips. "Ah! And here she is now!" Friar Simmons said as he and Madame Blanche went to the top of the stairs, staring down at the two kids running towards each other, with smiles.
As Arnold and Helga continue to run to each other, the two blondes were just feeling really happy! So happy that not only they found and loved each other, but they were going to get married! Married! Being together forever in love, in bliss, and in holy matrimony!
The two blondes were also not only happy that they were going to get married here for a few minutes or so, or that they were together, but they were so... well, so attracted to each other! Both inside and out! And Arnold and Helga just couldn't agree a whole lot more than ever before!
How Arnold's cornflower hair were the beautiful gold wheat fields that Helga could practically run through them, how her beloved's eyes were as pure, kind, and gentle as ever, or how when he looks at her with those eyes and his half lidded gaze of his! But the best part that Helga loved about Arnold was that he went passed by her blustery side and loved the real her! Like Helga wanted in a guy!
She just couldn't resist such a boy!
And Arnold to Helga, Helga's hair was like the sun was setting, her eyes were like the beautiful ocean, how they were just like the beautiful hues and colors of the sea, along with the pink and gold of her bow and hair. Oh and the way Helga looks at Arnold, and with her eyes filled and just sparkling with real love and care for him. Like Arnold always wished that a girl would look at him in that way!
He just couldn't resist such a girl!
Arnold and Helga ran towards each other still with happy and loving smiles, their arms reaching out for one another, their love actually growing more. They felt so much bliss, happiness, excitement, giddiness, LOVE, just running through their very cells, blood, veins, muscles, and minds by how much love and care they felt towards one another! So much love that they could just... just...!
Gasp...!
Thump!
Suddenly there was two gasps of surprise from the two adults as Friar Simmons dropped a book, he would use for the wedding, a sorta loud thump on the ground. Madame Blanche and Friar Simmons just looked at the two kids in slight surprise.
Arnold's left arm was around Helga's waist, holding her close to him, as he had his right hand holding the side of Helga's face, gently holding her slightly blushing cheek. Helga had an arm wrapped around Arnold's neck while leaning down towards her beloved, bringing him closer to her, as she had he left hand holding the side of Arnold's face, too gently holding his blushing slightly cheek.
But the most surprising thing of all, to Madame Blanche and Friar Simmons, Arnold and Helga were kissing on each other's lips, even on each other's faces, nonstop, look liking that they never wanting to stop the loving affection and wanted to pour every emotion they've had for each other. The two adults still had their bodies facing the two kids as they eyed each other, not expecting this kind of reunion of Arnold and Helga.
"What should we do?" Friar Simmons whispered to the woman next to him. "We should probably stop them before they get too carried away." Madame Blanche whispered back as she cleared her throat and said out loud to the two kids, while both of them feeling a tide bit uncomfortable with the affections they were seeing from the two kids "You two can't uh... wait till after the wedding?"
Arnold and Helga stopped the kisses with a small mwah! as they intertwined their hands while looking at the the two adults, Arnold saying while nuzzling Helga's cheek, "But I love Helga with all my heart~!" Then Helga as she nuzzled back. "And I love Arnold with all my heart~!" They laughed a little as they continued the kisses, their hands now intertwined.
Madame Blanche sighed as she shook his head a little, then looking back at the two kids. "Look kids, I can see your in a hurry, I'll try to keep it quick." Friar Simmons said. Arnold and Helga heard this, quickly ran to the to the church hall, hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces still, and pushing Friar Simmons out of there way, making him complain in surprise, and falling down on his back.
A few minutes later, the Organ was playing the wedding march as Arnold and Helga faced each other with happy smiles while blushing slightly, both of their hands intertwining, and Friar Simmons says, "And now by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now, kiss the bride."
Arnold and Helga then slowly leaned in and kissed gently and tenderly, both of their eyes closing, smiling a little into the kiss, and Madame Blanche and Friar Simmons looked at the two kids with smiles, happy that the two blondes were being finally married.
Meanwhile with Gerald, Sid, and the rest of the guy's...
Hey guy's!" Mostly every boy jumped at the sound of Sid's voice being heard all of the sudden, as they turned to the chuckling boy with annoyed looks, and heard him say, while looking up to a pickle stand to see a pigeon flying above them. "If a pigeon flies over to a pickle stand, does that make it a pickon?" Sid laughed out loud once again.
The Shortman boys sighed in annoyance again while covering their ears at yet another joke Sid just said as he continued on with the bad jokes. Sure they all could leave to go back home, but right now, all of the adult Shortmans were busy with a big meeting, so they didn't have anywhere else to go. "Wait wait wait! I got another one for you! What do you call a Pataki with one brain cell? Gifted!"
Not fully covering their ears, they all started to chuckle and smiled a little at the Pataki joke. But as Sid tried out another joke, Gerald took over as he continued with the Pataki jokes. And besides, he always did like to tease and make fun of the Patakis more than Sid and everyone else did in the Shortman family. "Oh you love that one? What do you have when a Pataki is buried up to his neck in sand?"
They all started to smile more, liking where this joke was going, as they all uncovered their ears. "Not enough sand!" They all laughed at the joke. But as Sid stopped his laughter, he accidently looked behind him, and sees a few Patakis looking at them with annoyed and angry scowls from a few yards away from them.
His face turned into slight panic as he nudged the other Shortmans, except for Gerald, as he did a gesture that some other people were here. The rest of the Shortmans looked over to where Sid was talking about, and they all went a little pale as well as a few Patakis were scowling at them in anger from afar.
Meanwhile, with a certain Shortman, "Wait wait wait wait! Do you know how to save a drowning Pataki?" They all shook their heads and their hands in panic, wanting Gerald to stop with the Pataki jokes before anything else bad can happen to them. But, "No? Good!"
Gerald laughed more as he laid back a bit while holding onto his stomach. The Patakis from a few yards away from them scowled a bit more at the Shortman making jokes about him. They then hear, "What is the difference between a slug and a Pataki?"
Gerald points at a dull green slug from a few feet away from them as he continued, "One is a tough-skinned terrestrial mollusk. And the other, is a SLUG!" Gerald laughed out loud again as he continued on. "Wait wait wait wait wait! What do you call 500 dead Patakis at the bottom of the ocean?"
The young Shortman boys shushed him in a panic matter, wanting Gerald to stop with the Pataki jokes. But then of course, "No! A good start!" Gerald hollered out with more laughter as he choked out between laughs. "Ohohoho mahahan! I'm juhust killing mysehehelf!"
Gerald continued to laugh out loud while holding his stomach again, but also his forehead, little tears at the corners of his dark brown eyes. The Shortman boys continued to look at Gerald with nervous and panic looks, but then getting the feeling that they'll be in huge trouble sooner or later.
Meanwhile, the few Patakis from afar looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with one another that they'll attack the Shortman of boys soon, as a more Patakis were coming to the other Patakis bit by bit while continuing to scowl and create of their plan to attack the Shortman boy's, especially the one making jokes about them.
Meanwhile with Arnold and Helga...
After Arnold and Helga got married, they were out in the city, running with one another while finding things to do as a couple. But they were wearing black cloaks to stay undercover while being in the city. As Arnold and Helga started to look around the shops, they both hear upbeat jazz music from one of the big boarding houses. It was from the Wellington family!
Then they hear the music from inside the black and red large boarding house as Arnold looked over towards Helga and shook his wide head to the side, gesturing that both of them should go inside. Helga smiled at this and quickly nodded. They both laughed a little to themselves as they ran inside the boarding house.
The two blondes looked around while running to the source of the music as they see the hallway glowing with yellow lights to the side walls. And when they reached a faded colorful glass double door, they can barely see so many yellow colored lights, and people chatting, but mostly dancing and laughing.
Arnold and Helga opened the door to see that the upbeat jazz music was coming from the same band from last night at the Pataki party. They see adults and mostly kids dancing with one another. But the two blondes could also see all kinds of families at this party. Including Gammelthorpes, Horowitzs, Wittenberg's, and of course Wellington's.
Arnold and Helga smiled in awe and of course in excitement by how fun this looks as Arnold grabbed Helga's hand and wrapped an arm around her. Helga smiled more and blushed at this as she and Arnold started to sway a little to the trumpet, but mostly to the piano, part of the music while slowly moving towards the crowd of dancing kids and adults.
And as they continued to dance, Arnold spinned Helga 3 times, earning a few laughs from the blonde girl. But as a rhythmic and beat part came into the music, Arnold and Helga did some actions to the beat in sync. Like when they stop dancing and looked at each other, Arnold quickly kissed Helga on the cheek. Helga pretended to be surprised by the sudden action as she playfully punched him on the upper arm.
But thinking that it was a sign of playfulness, Arnold fell to the ground flat on his face, but he quickly got up and started to dance to the drums part of the rhythmic beat of the music. But as he danced to himself for a bit, Arnold accidentally tripped on one of his tied shoelaces, causing him to fall, and his eyes swirling by the painful contact to the floor.
Helga couldn't help but smirk more in amusement and chuckled a tiny bit by her beloved as she pretended to stomp over to him, acting like she was angry. Though she still tried to put on a fake scowl, Helga still somehow had on a smirk on her naturally pink lips.
When Helga went to Arnold, she picked up her beloved by the back of his collar with one hand, her other hand on her hip. Arnold looked at Helga with surprising eyes. Surprised, and yet mostly impressed and feeling more in love, that Helga was strong.
And to Arnold, he kinda wanted that in a girl, no matter what they were by their family or anyone or anything else. Arnold wanted a girl that's tough, strong of course, independent, and witty. But also smart, funny, cool, loyal, kind, sweet, sensitive, and of course beautiful. Yep, definitely a girl Arnold would love and forever cherish.
Anyway, as Helga still held Arnold up, she quickly planted a passionate kiss on his lips, making Arnold smile happily after the kiss ended. Arnold quickly went to a nearby table and a few chairs, as he did some movements around and mostly on the objects, while the rhythmic and beat part of the music was still playing.
Like swinging and hanging onto the chairs and the table, dancing around and even sitting onto the chairs, and finally even under the table as Arnold smiled up at the golden haired girl, that he loved and adored so much, a few feet away from him.
Helga let out a few laughs, by how Arnold was being ridiculously funny, and cute of course, right now, as she regularly walked up to Arnold this time, her lips smiling in amusement. As Arnold quickly got up from under the table, just to see what Helga's reaction was, as he stood in front of her now.
Helga bend down, to Arnold's level, and kissed him on the cheek. Arnold's face went a little red with blush as he laughed a little, as Helga laughed along with him, by his reaction to the kiss, and mostly by how ridiculous they acted to make the other person laugh and smile, as Arnold dragged Helga to the dance floor.
When the upbeat music came back, the two blondes started to dance and sway to the music. Having fun to this point, and not focusing on anything or anyone else but each other of course, the yellow lights, that were being waved and turned through the entire party, aimed at Arnold and Helga only.
And as the two happy, and in love, kids continued to dance, Arnold spinned Helga, earning a cute laughter fest from her, and as he grabbed Helga's waist, the clip of both cloakes went undone, by the way the two kids were dancing. And finally, when Arnold grabbed Helga's waist, he dipped her, and the two smiling and blushing at each other, the music ending.
Right now, the two blondes didn't focus on anything or anyone else. Only each other as they continued to stare at the person they loved and cherished so much. Suddenly, as they were in their own little world, Arnold and Helga got out of it, and gasped a little as they turned to everyone around them.
They were all just... staring at them.
But... why?
As Arnold and Helga looked at everyone on the dance floor curiously, wondering on what's with all the staring, Helga scowled slightly at everyone, a little annoyed with everyone staring, as she stood regularly on her feet, holding her beloved's hand. And before she could finish her response, "What's with the star-...?!"
"Oh look, A Shortman and a Pataki together...!"
Said the conductor from the band. But before any of the two blondes could respond to that comment, some people spoke up, also making comments, and if Arnold and Helga could've sworn, disgusting comments, at the two blonde couple. Comments like,
"A Shortman and a Pataki together!" "Together?!" Said a mother and their child, the clothing on them were red and black, indicating they were in the Wellington family.
"It's disgusting!"
"Revolting!"
"I can't stand it!"
"It's an outrage!"
"I think I'm gonna be sick!"
"I'm mortified!"
"It's horrible!"
"I can't believe my eyes!"
"It's just not right!"
"Yeah a Shortman and a Pataki together?! That's disgusting!"
Then everything, the ball room, and everyone started to circle around Arnold and Helga while the nasty and hurtful comments continued. The two blondes started to get scared. They both didn't understand! What was so shocking about them being together?! It didn't make any sense to them!
Arnold tried to hold his ground, but with everyone saying that him and Helga didn't belong together? He just couldn't do it! Meanwhile, Helga tried to be tough in front of everyone, but being made fun of of someone that she held close to her heart? She just couldn't do it either!
As the people in the ballroom continued the comments and words of hatred towards the blonde couple, Arnold and Helga embraced each other out of slight fear, not liking this once on what everyone was going to do to them. All they wanted was to spend time together, feel free to love each other, but this isn't how they planned to do so!
They needed to get out of there somehow!
Then they made a break for it. Arnold and Helga started to run to the exit, but they were blocked by people starting to make fun of them more of them loving each other. As they both went to the entrance they came in earlier, Arnold and Helga felt some stuff being thrown at them. They turned to see of kids their age throwing food at them in disgust and anger, them saying,
"Get out of here!"
"Yeah! You don't belong here!"
"You disgust us!"
Arnold and Helga covered their heads as food continued to be thrown at them. They both continued to run to the entrance, but they were blocked by other kids. Kids that were older, that were in a grade up, and they all looked at the two blondes in anger.
Arnold was shield by his love, as Helga stood her ground, scowled at the older kids in anger, and had one of her fists in the air. "You better let us pass you idiots! Or I'll have Ol' Betsy talk to yo- yahh!" Suddenly, one of the bigger kids grabbed Helga by the collar. He looked down at the angry Pataki in anger.
As Helga thrashed around, she was trying to get out of the older kid's grip, but his grip was stronger. Helga growled at him with more anger. "You... You better let me go! Or I'll have to tell Bob Pataki about yo- ack!" He then started to choke Helga on the collar and making her stop breathing in air.
She then turned to her beloved, who was standing there in fear and concern, not knowing what to do. "A-Arnold! Go... o-on...! I'll be... f-fine!" Helga choked out as her ocean blue eyes glistened with tears. Tears of pain, tears of not breathing any air all of the sudden, and tears of fear by the older boy choking her.
Arnold's emerald green eyes widened in shock at the sight he was witnessing. A person... was hurting Helga. And Arnold... he loved Helga more than anything or anyone else ever! She was the only girl he ever loved and for to love him back! And now she was in pain. Pain by the people that they thought that him and Helga weren't meant to be together.
Then Arnold felt boiling anger running through his entire body. Angry and upset that some people would hurt the one person he loved and cared about the most. Arnold stomped over to the big kid that held his love and scowled at him. "Hyah!" Arnold said out loud as he punched the older kid in the stomach.
The bigger kid cried out in pain as he suddenly let go of Helga, who was about to pass out by breathing in no air. But as she was about to fall to the floor, Arnold caught her with concerned as he set Hega down to her feet, her coughing a little and tried to get air into her lungs, Helga's breathing became normal, and looked at her beloved in surprise on what he just did.
"F-Football Head... what did you do-?" "Helga come on there's no time! We gotta go!" Arnold said suddenly as he grabbed and held tight onto Helga's hand and both started to run out the exit. As the two blondes continued to run however, everyone started to chase them throughout the entire Wellington boarding house, continuing their words of hatred towards them.
Aside from thinking about what her beloved just did to make herself be free from the bigger kid earlier, Helga got an idea on how to get away from the people that were chasing her and Arnold. Helga started to lead into the run with Arnold, who was looking at her curiously, but went along with whatever she was doing.
As she see's the sunlight from outside on a hallway, Helga ran faster to the hallway, to where Arnold was almost literally dragged by Helga, and he could tell because his feet felt like they left the ground while he and Helga continued on running.
Meanwhile, everyone continued on following them, still throwing comments and mean words at the two while throwing random objects at them. But as they all went to the hallway the two blondes went to, they saw that they weren't there. But thinking that they ran outside, everyone continued to run down the hallway that led to outside. But as they were close to the door,-.
SLAM!
Suddenly, everyone slammed against the door, for Helga slammed it right in their faces. As the adults quickly backed off against the door, they see the kids were still slammed against the door and now windows, and they could see Arnold and Helga laughing in amusement by how everyone inside looked.
Arnold then offered a hand to Helga, who happily took it, with a smile and a tint of red heat on his face, including Helga's face, and both of the two happy blondes now started to go walking down the street to the park to spend more time together for the rest of the day.
In the park...
As Arnold and Helga were in hand in hand and were walking around the park to do something as a couple, they spotted a big cherry blossom tree. In the spring, it's very rare that a few cherry blossom trees grow in the city. But Arnold and Helga guessed that they were lucky to find one.
Anyway, when Arnold and Helga went up to the cherry blossom tree, they both see a person up into the branches. As the two blondes walked closer to the tree, Arnold and Helga jumped and gasped a little out of surprise, and heard, "What the heck?!"
Arnold and Helga walked further away from the cherry blossom tree quickly as they see a Gammelthorpe, the son of the king of the Gammelthorpes, Curly, jumping off of one of the big branches, and jumping out of the tree, and looked at the two kids with shock and disgust.
"A Shortman and a Pataki?! HA! That's the most craziest and disturbing thing I've ever saw! That's even crazier than me! Speaking of crazy, time to release the animals! Mwahahahaha!" Then Curly ran off laughing maniacally while throwing his arms in the air, leaving Arnold and Helga looking at him with disbelief and shock.
Helga started to growled to herself in anger, her body barely shaking a little with her temper, as she had her head down, and her golden bangs covering her face. Arnold instantly noticed this and went to Helga for comfort. He then put a hand on Helga's shoulder if she needed comfort. "Helga, are you ok-?"
"Why do people have to hurt us like this?!"
Helga suddenly yelled out loud in rage as her body shook more, causing Arnold to immediately take his hand off of Helga's shoulder, and with him looking at Helga with less surprise and more concern. But as Arnold was about to speak, his love continued. "Why is everyone in this stupid city so judgemental?!"
Arnold could hear Helga's voice sounding less angry and more in hurt as his love continued on speaking. "All I wanted was to spend time with you Arnold! Like how married couples are supposed to do! But no! All we get is hurtful words and actions from everyone around us! Even the son of the King of the Gammelthorpes thinks were crazy being together! A Gammelthorpe Arnold!"
She then turned to face Arnold as Helga kept speaking. "I want us to be together without everyone judging and criticizing us Arnold! I want to be with you without everything negative in this world to get in the way! I want you to be with me without everything negative in this world to get in the way! I...!"
Meanwhile, while Helga was talking, she grabbed her beloved by the shoulders, and faced him with plead and pain, no longer anger, in her eyes. And after she got done speaking, Helga hanged her head in sadness. "I-I don't... want to lose you Arnold...! I love you... s-so much and...-!"
And after Helga trailed off on her words, she faced Arnold once again, her hands still on his shoulder, but she was gripping onto them with hurt and and upset. Arnold looked at Helga with surprise and with even more concern. Helga's face was no longer in anger, for her expression was a mixer of sadness and grief.
But what got Arnold most concern for Helga, was that her eyes were... glistening again. Glistening with... tears. Tears of sadness, pain, a little bit of anger, and of course grief. All of those emotions were... from everyone that hurt not only Arnold, but mostly Helga.
And if Arnold didn't know any better, he had a feeling that... this was the first time that Helga actually broke down like this. Even though Arnold never knew Helga for a long time, he knew that she was a tough, independent, witty, and smart girl.
Like earlier with one of the big kids at the Wellingtons party, how she reacted when Arnold got caught by Prince Wolfgang, and how Helga tried to hold back any angry or any other negative emotions towards the Prince while they 'danced' at the Patakis party last night.
And now, with Helga being so... broken like this, by the people in their city, Arnold felt... he felt his heart in so much pain, that it like it could break and shatter any second now. So much pain to see one of the people he loved and care the most be hurt and damaged, physically but mostly emotionally, by other people that live in the same city as Arnold.
It was practically painful for him to watch this happen in front of his eyes.
As Helga started to cry a little, tears started to fall from her eyes while she had her head down again. "I love you Arnold, but... how...h-how are we gonna make this work...? I will be with you no matter what of course, but... what are we gonna do...?" Arnold inhaled a small breath of astounded by what Helga just asked him.
His love continued. "What are we gonna do with everyone still judging us Arnold...? How are we gonna be together with everyone in the way...? Especially from that stupid Prince Wo- gasp...!" Out of nowhere, Arnold wrapped his arms around Helga in a loving embrace, feeling like he never wanted to let go of his love, and his emerald green eyes closing tenderly.
Helga stood there in mild surprise while her beloved continued to hug her. But now thinking that this was a sign of comfort, she hugged Arnold back, tears continuing to spill from her eyes. The two blondes were now silent in their embrace under the cherry blossom tree, the gentle breeze still blowing in the air.
After a few good minutes of the comforting action, Arnold ended the hug, and reached up as he grabbed both sides of Helga's sorta wet face, due to the painful and upset tears of course. Helga looked at Arnold in surprise, but before she could ask on what her beloved was doing, Arnold started to speak first with a reassuring smile.
"Helga, don't think about what will happen in the future between us ok? Just worry about the now. And if something bad happens in the future, we'll get through it together alright? I love you no matter what happens to us." Helga looked at Arnold with surprise, but then frowned in sadness, thinking that something bad will happen to them.
Arnold looked at Helga with concern again, realizing that his smile wasn't working to make his love feel better. But then he had an idea on how to make Helga happy and feel like her old self again. Arnold then started to wipe Helga's tears away gently while saying, "Come on... where's that smile that I love?"
Arnold asked and chuckled a bit playfully, but mostly with reassurance, as he continued to wipe Helga's tears away. Helga on the other hand, felt her face growing with warmth by the way her beloved was talking to her. But when Arnold asked her that question, Helga felt the corners of her lips curling up slightly.
Arnold smiled more at this as he continued on with his encouraging words. "Where's that beautiful, romantic, tough girl?" He asked Helga. Helga blushed on her face more as her lips slowly turned into a smile. Arnold started to blush a little as his smile grew into a tiny grin at Helga's, he never knew until now, cute reaction and expression.
He then used his tippy toes to bring his face closer to Helga's as he laughed a little while his eyes closed, including Helga, while having his forehead against her's. "Hehehe! There she is...!" The two blondes started to laugh to themselves at Arnold's words as they smiled and blushed at each other. Helga then cleared throat a bit and took one or two steps back.
She started to wipe the remaining tears from her eyes and face, while saying, "Football Head, first off, no one has ever made Helga G. Pataki cry before, and that's saying something considering everyone in the neighborhood are afraid of me. And two,..." Helga walked back up to Arnold, bend down to his height, and kissed him cheek.
Arnold smiled and blushed a bit more by the small yet sweet affection from his love as Helga looked at him, still down to his height. "... thank you for making me feel better Arnold. And I love you too." She finished. Arnold's expression increased as he let out a small sigh, through his nose, of relief and happiness that Helga was her old self.
"Your welcome Helga." A few seconds past of the two blondes staring at each other lovingly, until Helga let out a sigh, and stood up regularly, went to the base of the cherry blossom tree, and sat down with her back laying against the base, still with the smile on her lips. "Well, we didn't came here to get all sad Arnoldo."
Arnold chuckled and blushed a bit, by what new nickname he was given by his love, and went to where Helga was sitting. After he sat down, Arnold smiled and blushed a bit more at Helga. "Your right Helga. We only came here to spend time together. And that's what... were gonna... do...?" Arnold's voice trailed off as he see's Helga getting out a little pink book from her dark blue satchel.
Helga looked at Arnold, curious on what happened to his words, until she smiled in amusement at her beloved's reaction. Arnold still looked at the book curiously, wondering what's in it, but mostly on why would Helga bring a book. "Ok Arnold, the reason I have this book is because... well, i-it's for... my poems."
Arnold just stared at Helga with surprise and yet with... awe. Helga... writes poetry? Helga writing poetry? Wow. Arnold really didn't take Helga for the literature type. But it was... pretty interesting to know. Now Arnold kinda wants to know on what types of poetry Helga writes. Maybe adventure? Horror? Or what about... love?
He then asked her kindly, scooching a bit closer to her out of interest and curiosity, "May I... listen to one Helga?". Helga instantly blushed a bit by the small amount of surprise closeness from her beloved. But she smiled a little as she said to Arnold, "Uh... sure whatever floats your boat Arnoldo. Let's see..." Then Helga paused as she looked through her pink book, trying to find a good poem to read for Arnold.
Then after a few moments of looking, from Helga, and waiting patiently, from Arnold, Helga successfully found a poem as she beamed with success. Arnold instantly took notice of it as he smiled at Helga, getting ready to listen to her poem that she, her beautiful, sarcastic, and tough self Arnold couldn't resist adding, made. Helga now cleared her throat a little and began to speak one of her poems out loud to her beloved.
"Cowlicks, like fields of yellow corn,
All the hours of a day,
I think and admire of the name I dare not say.
The boy with the emerald green eyes and cornflower hair,
My beloved, and my despair."
Helga finished as she turned to Arnold smiling, her smile loving yet nervous. Nervous because this was the first time she has shown one of her romantic poems to someone. But this was no 'someone'. This was Arnold Shortman. A boy she loved and cared about the second they both have first met on that magical and love filled night. But then, Helga looked surprised by what Arnold's reaction was to the poem she red.
He was just... smiling.
Arnold wasn't saying anything, doing anything, he was just had his body sitting next to hers against the base of the cherry blossom tree, his hands were just placed on the grass on each of his sides of his body, his football shaped head was slightly turned to the side facing Helga, his eyes were a little lidded and sparkling with love and admiration, and Arnold just continued on smiling at Helga.
Helga felt her blush on her cheeks growing at the way Arnold's eyes were, how they were half lidded and sparkling adoration and love for only her and her alone. Not to mention the small yet sweet, and Helga could've sworn, charming smile from her beloved just made her melt a little now.
But trying to stay focused on why Arnold wasn't saying anything, Helga said to Arnold, leaning towards him a little just to catch his attention. "Uh Arnold? Earth to Football Head. You the-? Mmm!" Suddenly, Helga's words were cut off, and suddenly leaned back a little, by none other than her beloved Arnold.
For when Helga was speaking, Arnold smile and half lidded gaze grew as he quickly leaned in and kissed his love, smiling a tiny bit into the kiss while he had a hand gently holding Helga's cheek, the other holding her hand. Helga now just sat there, stunned and in awe with love by this sudden kiss. But she kissed back as Helga closed her eyes tenderly, the same with Arnold, and her lips having on a small smile in the kiss also.
There was silence between Arnold and Helga, the quiet romantic atmosphere having a warm gentle in the air, and very few cherry blossoms, mostly petals than the flowers in general, continuing to fall. But then, there was a beautiful light pink cherry blossom falling down to Arnold and Helga. Then the flower ended up falling on top of Helga's head, but she didn't notice since she's so lost by this kiss she was in with Arnold.
And then slowly, Arnold and Helga slowly broke the kiss as they fluttered their eyes open, their different yet beautiful colored eyes locked once they stared at one another. Their eyes were now sparkling even more now that they took in their love's eyes. How they were like they're families colors, how they were different, and yet, they were the same in a way. And their just... so beautiful to stare at even.
But then Helga blinked two or three times as she suddenly pulled away the lock on her beloved's eyes while she turned her head away from Arnold, her clearing her throat now, "Uh... t-that was um..." she was now at a loss for words. Helga just didn't know what to say! Out of all the kisses they've had, they were always kinda fun yet passionate to have.
And yet,... this one however, this was... amazing and loving. Arnold and Helga know that they've kissed a bunch of times today, and not to mention already giving their first kiss to someone they love, but this one felt like... it was their first. It just felt so... magical and had so much love, that all of that turned into a slow tender kiss, they couldn't help but think and feel of this as their first ever kiss now.
"Nice Helga. The kiss was... it was nice." Arnold kinda finished with a smile, since he was still distracted by the kiss and the poem, as Helga looked back at him with a sorta surprised look. But then she smiled and blushed at him as Helga said back to her beloved, "Yeah, it... really was nice. Anyway, that was my poem and-." But then, Helga was again cut off.
Because Arnold was leaning in more towards Helga, making her confused and now a little weirded out, though her heart was beating and her cheeks were flushing a little. How come Arnold's acting like this? Was it because of the kiss they both shared? Was it because of Helga's poem? Maybe it was both? What if it was something else? What could Arnold be doing right now thou-?
Then Arnold was using his hand to reach the top of Helga's head, making Helga more confused now. "Uh Arnold? What are you...-?" Then her words came to a stop once again, but by her own will. Because Arnold had his face really close to her's, but he didn't notice since he was too focused on the thing on top of Helga's head. Helga blushed red at this sudden closeness from Arnold, staying silent for she was that much in shock.
But Arnold pulled himself away from Helga as he smiled at her, now showing her the light pink cherry blossom to her by holding it by the sorta long stem of it. Hlega looked surprised by this. But thinking of something else, she asked Arnold, "Hey uh Arnold? What was up with that... kiss that you gave me? Not that I'm complaining of course."
Arnold perked up by the mention of the kiss they've both shared as he scooched an inch away from Helga now. "Oh... uh well I... was just... when you red that poem to me, I just... wanted to do it and that I love you so much and when you red that poem to me, you sounded so loving and passionate, I-I just wanted to kiss you and-"
"Alright Arnoldo I get the gist. You were in awe by my poem and the way I red it, you wanted to kiss me. Not that it was it was a bad idea or anything, but... it really was nice. The kiss I mean." Helga said with a small giggle, her blush growing a little while she eyed down the book she held. Arnold let out a small chuckle through his nose. "Yeah, it... really was. Anyway, is it alright if I listen to another one?"
Helga was now a little taken back by what her beloved asked of her as she looked at Arnold with surprise. "You... really want to listen to more of my poems?" Arnold smiled more as he now scooched a little closer to Helga again. "Of course, I wouldn't kiss you if I thought that your poems are bad Helga. I would love to listen to more of them. If you would like to though it's your choice and-."
"What? No Arnoldo, I would love to read more to you. And besides, I've been meaning to look back at my old poems." Arnold smiled more as he now sat next to Helga, who was continuing to find a new poem to read to her beloved. After a few seconds of looking, Helga found another good one as she said to her beloved, "Now this one, I... actually made last night. Right before I went outside to my balcony."
Arnold smiled more and started to blush, so did Helga, at the mention of last night. Now Helga was reciting her poetry to Arnold as Arnold continued to listen and admire the poems from his love. But then, Arnold noticed something about Helga. She was reading one of her poems, but it was... the way she looked.
Helga was having her head down a little while her eyes aimed at the small pink book in her hands, her lips were moving as she continued to recite more of her poems to Arnold, a faint blush were onto her cheeks, her hair was gently moving by the small amount of breeze in the atmosphere, and her ocean blue eyes were half lidded with love and passion as she continued to read.
Arnold was now practically spelled.
Spelled by the way Helga looked right now, the way she was speaking, the way her facial features stayed beautifully, and not to mention the scenery they were both in! And Arnold could've sworn Helga was glowing brightly yet warmly. It must've been the sun, but Arnold didn't barely thought of it as he was continuing to fall for this beautiful sight next to him!
But,... there was... something missing. Something was actually missing in this scene with Helga looking naturally beautiful. Arnold started to think on what was the thing that was missing as the cherry on to- Wait a sec. Arnold now had an idea to make Helga's look more beautiful. Then he starting to plan his idea into his head and getting ready for it.
Meanwhile, when Helga just finished one of her poems to Arnold, she said to Arnold while she closed her book, "Well, I don't know about you Arnold, but I'm getting kinda hungry. Do you want to head for Slausens and get a ice cream?" She then looked over to her beloved as Helga sees Arnold getting up. But instead of standing, Arnold was now standing on his knees.
Helga was now confused on what Arnold was doing. "Uh... Football Head? What are you doing?" She asked. Arnold didn't respond back as he now trying to grab something from behind him. Helga continued to see Arnold doing this as she was now curious on what was Arnold doing as she just sat there, waiting on what Arnold could possibly be doing. Until Arnold went over to Helga as he smiled at her.
But Arnold suddenly showed the cherry blossom he grabbed from behind him to Helga. Helga now looked at him with more confusion, curious on what he was up to. Arnold then moved a little closer to Helga as he put the flower on her ear as he took a knee step back. Arnold now was smiling more, blushing a faint bright red on his cheeks by what Helga looked like now.
Helga was only sitting on the grass while her back was no longer against the base of the cherry blossom tree, her arms were at her side, amd she continued to stare at him with confusion, though a single strand of golden hair was out of place as Helga didn't noticed it barely blowing in her face, but she was that curious on what was up with Arnold rather than that.
Arnold couldn't help but chuckle a little as he went to Helga and carefully reached for Helga's forehead as he pulled the soft, silky, golden strand out her face and placed it behind her ear, between the back of her ear and her head. Arnold now had his hand holding his love's cheek gently as Helga looked surprised by what Arnold was doing, her instantly blushing to her cheeks again.
She could see her beloved tilting his head to the side as he smiled a little goofy like at her, his cheeks turning a little red as well, and his eyes were sparkling with love and admiration. "Hehe... so cute." Arnold just said out loud to Helga, not realizing on what he just said to her as his lovesick gaze was still on his face.
Then all of a sudden, Helga looked in complete shock as her blush grew so much to the point it was like her face was on fire. She instantly turned her head away from Arnold as her blush grew more, and her blush was that bad to the point that actual heat was coming off of her face now. But Arnold blinked a few times as he looked at Helga with curiosity and worry.
"Helga? Are you ok? What happened?" He asked. The truth was, Arnold actually didn't know what just happened to him. All he knew was that he was too busy thinking of Helga, how she is, and how her beauty was, to the point he actually didn't remember on what happened between him and her.
Helga, who was trying to calm herself down because for the simple fact that Arnold just called her cute, perked up at her beloved's question. She then turned to him and said, her blush still there on her face, "You...Y-You called me... cute Arnold." But suddenly, "Hm? No I didn't." Arnold replied back. Then Helga's eyes widened a little now. "Yes... you did Arnold."
Arnold was now thinking over on what just happened between him and Helga But then after a few seconds, Arnold suddenly surprised as he looked down to the ground while his hand was raising up to his face to cover his mouth, his entire face a bright scarlet now, and his eyes went wide. Helga barely looked at Arnold with surprise now, knowing that Arnold knew what happened between them.
But she heard from her beloved, Arnold slowly facing her, "S-Sorry Helga, I never meant to call you... c-cute like that. It's just that your very pretty, especially when you were reading your poetry to me. B-But there was something missing with the way you looked and then I put the flower in your ear and I just couldn't help but say that you were cute and you really are cute and-!"
Arnold instantly stopped talking as he was quiet for a second or two, until he groaned a little while he covered his red embarrassed face with both his hands. "Ugh... I just said it again didn't I? I'll just... stop talking now." Helga was now silent with the way Arnold was acting. But then, she spoke up. "It's just that no one has actually never... c-called me cute before Arnold. That's why I was surprised."
Her beloved perked up by this as he faced his love with astoundment. "Wait really?" "Yep, not a single soul has called me that." But then, Helga looked down a little to the ground, her rubbing her wrist a little. Her unibrow furrowed with embarrassment yet with shyness as she looked back at her beloved. "But... do you really think I'm cute?" Helga asked.
Arnold had his eyes widen a little as he said to her, "What? Of course I do! And like I said, your beautiful too!" Helga help her cheeks turning warm with color by Arnold calling her now beautiful. But she laughed a little as she turned her head away from her beloved, having on a small sad smile. "Your just messing with me. As if you would ever call me beauti- whoa!"
Suddenly, Arnold brought Helga close to him as he placed her in front of him, turning her around, and her back was facing him now. They both now sat down as Arnold was going through his tux real quick. Helga was just surprised by what Arnold did just now as she turned her around to see what he was doing now.
"Uh Arnold? What are you doing?" She asked. Arnold didn't reply as he continued looking through his tux. But after at least a minute of searching, Arnold successfully found the item he was searching for. He then showed it to Helga as Arnold's expression was happy yet reassuring. Helga then looked down to what her beloved had in his hands.
It was... a comb?
Helga blinked a few times out of bewilderment, kinda confused on what Arnold will be doing with a comb of all things. But then, Arnold gently turned Helga's head forward, making her vision no longer see her beloved. "I'm just trying to prove a point Helga. Just relax and you'll understand why." Arnold said, answering Helga's question from earlier.
Helga just looked confused, not getting on what her beloved meant. But then, she shrugged a little as she continued to look forward. "Well, alright then. I'm ready to let you make your point. Though I don't get it on why you would be using a comb just to only make your poiIIINT!"
Then out of the blue, Helga suddenly felt something going through one of her pigtails as the sensation of it brought chills up and down her spine while her heart beated out of her chest. She even felt her cheeks suddenly really warm by the feeling. That's when something clicked in her head.
She turned around only to see Arnold no longer holding one of her pigtails as he smiled at her reassuringly. But then Helga turned back around as she said, "S-So this is what you meant by... m-making your point. But why brushing my hair though?" She stuttered. It's just that no one has never brushed her hair before so it was surprising.
And more surprising that someone Helga loved the most was doing it.
Arnold smiled more as he started to brush the same pigtail again, but gently and slowly, only to admire the soft silk that his love's hair. "You'll find out later on Helga. Just relax and... let me do the work ok?" Helga's blush grew more by the words from Arnold. "Uh... y-yeah ok. I can do that. In fact, being relaxed is my specialtyYYYYY!"
Then Helga sorta squeaked and shrieked as she felt one of her beloved's hands going through the same pigtail he was brushing. Arnold then frown a little with concern by Helga's reaction. "Helga, if you don't like this and feel uncomfortable, I can stop if you want and we could-." "What? No!" Helga interrupted Arnold as she turned to him. Arnold jumped a little as he looked kinda surprised at Helga.
"Arnold, don't get me wrong it feels weird, but.." Then Helga smiled and blushed as she looked down a little in a shy way. She then started to giggle as her smile and blush grew. "... it felt nice. Like really nice Arnold. And its that no one's ever brushed my hair before. But still, you can just... keep brushing my hair Arnold." Helga now turned forward as her blush and smile grew a bit more.
Arnold now smiled a little at his love's words as he asked, "Did it... felt really nice Helga?". Arnold asked that question because he just wanted to make sure Helga wasn't lying to make him feel better. Plus, Arnold asked the question in a kinda happy way. And right now, he actually did like to brush Helga's silky thin, that shined like pure gold mind you, hair.
Helga giggled a little as she smiled, blushed, and closed her eyes a bit in a sorta bashful and kinda giddy way. "Yep. Yep it did." Arnold noticed that Helga was waiting for him to brush her hair again as he smiled and blushed in admiration at the way Helga looked right now. Arnold now continued to brush Helga's hair.
But Arnold instantly heard Helga trying to contain her giggles and shivers by covering her mouth a little. And right now, Arnold actually... really liked to hear Helga giggling. It was so sweet and tremendously cute, Arnold wanted to hear it now. He barely laughed himself as he said to his love, "Helga, if you need to giggle, I don't mind. All I just want you to do is relax ok?"
He now could see Helga barely humming back as a response and as Arnold started to brush the other pigtail for the other one was done being brushed, Helga giggled and her back shivered a little by her other pigtail being brushed. Arnold smiled at this as he continued to brush his love's hair. But Helga suddenly leaned forward a bit quickly as she let out a... chirr and yet she tried to keep it in?
Arnold now just sat there with surprise as he sees Helga covering her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise and embarrassment, and her face a bright shade of red. Feeling worried now, Arnold put down the comb, got up from the ground, and now sat in front of Helga. "Helga, are you ok? I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked, his voice full of concern for Helga.
Helga looked up at Arnold as her red face cooled down a little. "I-I...I'm fine Arnold. It was just... ok, that was unexpecting." She mumbled to herself. But being really quiet out here in this area of the park, Arnold heard Helga correctly. "Wait, unexpectingly how?" he asked her. "It was... unexpectingly nice. Like... really nice." Helga said as her lips suddenly had a small smile, her cheeks barely flushed again.
Arnold was now slowly standing up and walking behind Helga now from where he sat before, him asking her, his tone full of wonder yet to him, a hint of intrigued, "Soooo,... I didn't hurt you?". Helga now looked calm as she sat straight again, her face barely red now. "No, it was just... it felt reallyYYYY!" Then Helga was cut off by Arnold once again.
For he was using his fingers to brush through Helga's hair. Arnold even mainly went through Helga's scalp a little, just to brush Helga's pigtails again and again, as he barely massaged the base of every single piece of hair on his love's head. Helga reacted quickly as her back arched and stiffened, including the rest of her body.
But she suddenly twitched a little on some parts of her body, mainly her back and her arms. Then out of nowhere, Helga started to hum, chirr, and even purr in complete pleasure by her hair being brushed by the love of her young life. Arnold chuckled a little at the cute and sweet sounds Helga was making as he suddenly had an idea to make Helga feel more relaxed now.
Arnold used his right hand to reach and grab Helga's right hand as he intertwined his with her's, gently holding it, and he could see Helga feeling more relaxed now. But feeling totally lovesick now, Arnold leaned forward to the right side on where he held his love's hand, and he was now hugging Helga, his hand barely brushing with one of her pigtails, for he now twirled and played the end of it, now.
Helga shakingly sighed at Arnold doing all of this as she felt so much love for Arnold while her sounds of delight continued. Arnold's smile turned a little goofy as he said, well barely since he too felt so much love and he was completely lovesick now, nuzzling and even cuddling with Helga while he was continuing to play with the end of one of Helga's pigtails, "Your so cute Helga. You... r-really are.".
Arnold sees Helga's lovesick look growing as she suddenly swooned and hugged his lower arm, his upper arm instinctively wrapped around her waist. Now Arnold and Helga were hugging and even now cuddling with each other as they looked at one another with loving gazes.
They were that in love to where no words to describe on how they felt for each other. Then Arnold leaned in towards Helga's face as he slowly closed his eyes, ready to kiss his love. And Helga too leaned in towards Arnold's face as she slowly closed her eyes, ready to kiss her beloved.
Then closer.
And closer.
And close-.
"Oof!"
Suddenly, Helga complained as her face, mainly her lips, were just inches away from Arnold's by an object suddenly hitting her on the side of the head. They both got out of their lovesick states as Arnold blinked a few times and sees what object was thrown at them, well mostly Helga, to what stopped them from about to kiss again.
It was a rolled up newspaper! But Arnold didn't payed attention to that as he went to Helga with worry, who was scowling and feeling annoyed on who threw the newspaper. "Helga, are you ok?" Arnold asked. "I'm fine Arnold, but I swear, whoever threw this...this..." Helga was now looking around on what object hit her.
Helga's scowl grew, as well as her anger, as she got up from the grassy ground and went towards the newspaper. "...this newspaper, they are going to get i-!" "Helga wait! Look!" Arnold abruptly said to Helga, cutting her off, as he pointed on what was on the newspaper. Helga looked at the newspaper as she sees a painted symbol on it.
It was from Prince Wolfgang!
And as Arnold and Helga looked at it, Helga unwrapped the newspaper, and on the front page, the large bold words said, 'Prince's Bride Stolen By A Shortman!'. Arnold and Helga gasped as they continued to ready. Then they oth felt a bit on edge when they red on what the Prince said, 'If I ever find Arnold Shortman, he'll be dead!'.
Arnold and Helga looked at each other with worry as they quickly gathered up their stuff. And after they both grabbed their things, Arnold and Helga each held onto each others hand, looked around them to make sure no one was near them, and ran off to somewhere else where no one, not even the Prince, will find them both.
But behind the fence of the left side of the park, Prince Wolfgang and his goons looked at the two blondes run off with each other. Sir Ludwig looked at the Prince with unsure as he and the others kept quiet, trying not to let out a single sound out of their bodies and/or mouths.
Because Prince Wolfgang scowled at Arnold and Helga with rage, his eyes glowing with hatred, and his hands clenched into fists with fury while they even shook with anger. And what's worse, to show most of his anger to those around him, Prince Wolfgang's face grew red, and he was growling so much, with anger. But all of his anger were to Arnold and Helga as they were now out of sight.
