"So did you ask her?" Gerald asked on the other line. "No Gerald." Arnold frowned noticing that he missed a big opportunity by being stupid. "Arnold! Wasn't that the whole reason you asked her to Slausen's?" Gerald sounded frusterated with Arnold . "I'm sorry Gerald I guess I'm just… scared." Gerald sighed "Dude Wolfgang is in 7th grade now and when you go to 7th grade you guys will be totally separate from him. He can't make fun of you anymore." Arnold felt hurt in the pit of his stomache remembering that day.
It was a lovely December day. Arnold and Helga were having fun in the park throwing snowballs at eachother, laughing , and enjoying eachothers company when… Wolfgang showed up. "Well well what do we have here? A couple of lovebirds I see?" Wolfgang and his group laughed. "Leave us alone Wolfgang!" Arnold yelled. "Awww football face is standing up for his little girlfriend!" He laughed and Helga walked up. "Wolfgang you better leave now or else!" Helga had anger in her eyes ready to strike at any moment. "What are you ganna do huh? Hit me? Oooh big bad Helga's ganna hurt me." That's when Helga punched him right in the nose. Wolgang ran away crying his groupies following behind. "Helga what are we going to do. He keeps bothering us." Arnold looked at Helga with a serious look. "I know. I'm getting sick of his crap too." Arnold got very sad at this point. "Well… there is only one thing we can do." Helga was just about to cry. "Yeah." They hugged "Goodbye Arnold… I love you." Helga now had some tears streaming down her cheek "Bye Helga. I love you too." They released eachother and walked away. When Arnold was out of sight Helga was letting all her feelings out. Crying really hard. Arnold heard her and knew that even if it broke their hearts it'd keep Wolfgang away from them.
Arnold was brought back to real life when his friend was practicaly screaming on the phone. "HEY ARNOLD WAKE UP MAN!" Arnold blinked a few times trying to remember what they were talking about. "Oh yeah sorry Gerald what were you saying?" Gerald shook his head "I was saying Just ask her out again Wolfgang can't bother you guys anymore. It sickens me to say this but you guys are ment to be together. No one should be able to stop you from that." "Ok. I will ask her tomarrow during practice." They said their goodbyes and hung up.
