Well, well, I took so long, I know, but I didn't know how to make the end.
So, sorry for keep you too long.
I'll be making another fics, so I'll try to post more frequently.
Anyway, this in the end of my first story *gasps*
A/N: Helga isn't being dense, she just refuse to accept the idea of Arnold having feelings towards her.

The next morning the sun was shining intensely.
At the school, students were talking and whispering things about the obviously party at the night.
-I'm serious Phoebe; I don't know what to do! – A worried Helga said.
The intellectual girl smiled with concern- Well, Helga, if he truly wanted to say you something, you just have to wait until tonight. I guess Arnold really wants to clear you everything- she stated- Besides, he is a mature guy; he couldn't have had in mind hurt you-
The blonde girl smiled at her advice- You're right. Maybe wait, is the best option…for now- she said sighing.
Meanwhile in the gym Gerald and Arnold were doing the same thing, discussing obviously the same stuff as the girls.
-Man, why did you say to her after that?!- The black haired boy said in a curious tone.
-I tried to make a lame excuse, but after she didn't believe me, I guess that saying the truth was the right thing to do- the teenager with the green eyes said shrugging a little- Although she didn't seem to be uncomfortable. In fact, maybe she…she was responding-
Gerald looked at his face- You're still one bold kid Arnold, you really are-
Arnold snorted- Maybe- he answered- Anyway, I want it to be special, since I want to impress her- he added with a lovesick smile.
-If that makes ya feel right man, I'm by your side, just be yourself Arnie, and cool out- he winked punching his shoulder.
Both guys laughed as they heard the bell rang.
Helga and Phoebe were walking to the cafeteria when they ran into Mr. Johnson with a satisfied smile –Good morning- he said.
-Good morning Mr. Johnson- they echoed- How has your day been? –Phoebe said in a happy tone.
-Wonderful, I'm impressed with these reports, you'll find out your notes after recess- I'm proud-
The girls smirked- That's cool! Well, we better keep going, right Phoebs? Bye Mr. Johnson- Helga waved a good bye taking her best friend's wrist.
After he waved a good bye, the two teenagers entered to the cafeteria where Arnold and Gerald were.
-Hi there girls, hi babe- said Gerald flirting to his girlfriend, who obviously giggled at his comment.
-Yuck- Helga muttered from behind closing her eyes playfully- Nice to see you Geraldo.
Arnold snorted as Helga took a sit next to him- You know, we ran into Mr. Johnson- she commented seeing the boy's expression.
-He told us he was proud about our reports, heh; maybe working with you hadn't been such a bad choice football head- she played.
The light haired boy chuckled- Really? Told ya, we make a good team- he added with a satisfied smile.
After some conversation between the four teenagers; the sound of the school bell rang again.
The students went to their class, taking his seats. Sighs echoed all the walls because of the heat it was doing outside.
Suddenly the teacher of literature made his entrance- Good morning students. I've already saw your reports-
Everybody was silent, waiting for his approval or disapproval comment.
-I'm proud of all you class. You've made a correct decision in your partners, I'm glad you work hard because I know this night is special- he said winking seeing all his students' reactions full of happiness.
-Although they're some mistakes, you've made a wonderful job class. Congratulations-
All the teenagers started to cheered up and throw their papers happily.
Mr. Johnson began to give the reports adding a "Congratulations, good job, well done" but when it came to Arnold and Helga, he kept silence.
Both teenagers looked at each other and then back to the teacher, who after two seconds began to smirk and winked- You two had made one of the most interesting assignments. Giving you an A isn't fair with everything I've read in this, congratulations-
Arnold and Helga's grin became wider than ever, even they blushed at such appreciation.
Just when they were going to answered him, Curly got out of his bag a water gun- THE GAME STARTS! –he yelled as everybody screamed in joy running from them seats with water's pumps.
-Thank you- they whispered as Mr. Johnson nodded walking outside.
The room was full of laughs, screams, and some splashes.
-I'm going to get ya Phoebe- Gerald played holding two water's plump behind his hands and his Japanese girlfriend was giggling behind a table.
Eugene, who was running from Harold, fell with Phoebe's foot- I'M OKAY- he declared getting up, but after he could say something more Harold noticed him- THERE HE IS! –he screamed splashing him with all he got.
The Asian girl bitted her lips as she saw Gerald standing in front of her- Where were you going babe?-
She smiled nervously as she stood up trying to run, but her boyfriend was too fast, so he grabbed her easily by the wrists smacking her with the two balloons laughing heartily all the way along.
Curly ran into Rhonda and Lila throwing them a pail full of cold water.
-CURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLY! –both girls screamed shaking as the black haired boy laughed maniacally.
Helga was standing with a water gun, as she saw Phoebe and Gerald laughing as they were playing.
Her smile became sincerely, she imagined herself with Arnold holding her tightly in his strong arms, smelling his attractive cologne.
-HEY, HELGA, WANNA PLAY? –Arnold yelled splashing her from behind, which obviously she surprised.
-HOW…YOU…DARE? –she said seeing him directly in the eyes.
He grinned- What? THESE?! –he screamed squishing all her body.
-THAT'S IT! YOU'RE DEAD FOOTBALL HEAD! –Helga declared running into him, as he started to get away from her.
Both teenagers laughed as they were trying to avoid each other.
To Helga's luck Arnold fell into the wet floor.
-GAME OVER ARNOLDO- she smirked as she started to wash him all over his body.
-HEY, HELGA, THAT'S….NOT….FAIR!-He managed to say trying to hold his breath but it was difficult, so an idea came to his mind.
Seeing that the blonde girl was just between his legs, he closed them making her totter.
-Gotcha- he whispered as he got up one hand reaching to hers pushing her down to the floor with him.
They burst out in laugh as he was holding her hand tightly trying to take off her water gun.
After realizing that it wasn't working he tickled her hearing how she screamed playfully- N-NO NO, please, okay, okay. YOU WON!-
After one hour or two the little party in the class was over.
Everybody cleaned up and prepared their things to go to their houses to preparing for the big night.
-I see you had so much fun- Helga said to her best friend who was still breathing heavily and socking her hair.
She giggled- I have to concur a certainly yes, as well as you too-
The blight haired girl smiled- Yeah, guess some games with the football head hadn't been boring-
Suddenly Arnold and Gerald appeared from behind with towels around their necks.
-Better get going babe. Bye guys, see ya tonight –said Gerald taking his girlfriend's hand and walking away.
Both teenagers waved a good bye as Helga started to blush a little- Well, well…Geraldo is right, so, I see you tonight Arnold-
The blonde boy looked at her and smiled warmly- See you tonight then, I'll pick you at 8:30 pm. Bye Helga- he ended kissing softly one of her cheeks.
She tried hard not to faint at his gentle touch- Bye, football head-
After afternoon, all the teenagers were preparing themselves for their moment.
Helga was already done; she had her dress, her shoes, and her slightly make up. Just still working on her hair, it was being a problem.
-Criminy, it's already 7:30 and I don't know what I'm gonna do with my hair! –she said sighing a little.
That's when she heard a loud and girly sound behind her door- BAAAAAABY SISTERRRRR! ARE YOU THERE?! –Olga said.
She snorted- No Olga, just my soul…DOI, of course I'm here, what is it? -she asked.
Olga giggled entering to her sister's room- Well, to be honest Helga, I couldn't resist listening to you and your complaints about your hair, I think I could help with you with that-
The blonde teenager shrugged; there was no time to take back Olga's help. –Okay, but don't put it on something to girly and sweet. Try something emphasizing my face and with my hair down-
-Shhh, you just let me work, you'll get beautiful! -Olga screamed happily.
Meanwhile Arnold was putting on some cologne; he already had put on his tuxedo, shoes and a little rose to put on Helga's hand.
He sighed, he knew that tonight everything was going to give him an answer, hopefully he expected a yes, but he didn't know what Helga would say.
His thoughts were interrupted by his grandfather knocking the door and entering to it.
-Well, hi there Shortman, are you ready for the big night? –he winked.
Arnold nodded getting up of his bed seeing himself one last time in the mirror.
-Grandpa, can I ask you something?-
The old man smiled- Sure big boy, what is it? Is something about your date with the lady? -Phil asked crossing his arms.
-It is Grandpa- the light haired boy answered- I-I don't have enough self-confidence to tell Helga about my feelings, what if she rejects me? After all these years, we haven't talk about us and for some reason she hadn't touched that subject neither- he explained.
-So, let me get this straight. You think that if you tell Helga your feelings she'll run away of ya and don't talk to you anymore or something like that? -he repeated in a slowly voice.
-Yeah- Arnold whispered rubbing the back of his neck.
Phil walked next to his grandson as he patted him on the shoulder- Arnold, Arnold, look, being scared or worried it's absolutely natural, mostly at your age. Hey, I remember when I was a boy like you and those problems were on my mind too. But, you know what I did?-
-Let me guess…follow your instincts?-
The ancient laughed- Right Shortman, just be yourself; be encouraged and…NEVER EAT RASPBERRIES- he ended running across his grandson's bedroom.
Arnold smiled more- Guess grandpa is right, well…better get going- he muttered looking to the moon which was illuminating the entire city, such a lovely night…
He went downstairs as his parents were waiting him.
-Take care of my Eleanor! –Said Pookie hugging him as Arnold responded her affection- I will Grandma. See ya-
On the other side Helga was looking at herself again, she couldn't believe it, Olga really have done a good job. Well at least she thought that, she would let the opinion to her beloved.
-Speaking of him- she muttered touching her hair- Where the heck he is? We'll be late-
Before Olga could say something the bell rang which make both girls jumped of their seats.
The older sister of the Patakis opened the door seeing a handsome boy with a shy smile- Oh hi there Arnold, hold a second, here comes my sister.
He nodded kindly as he waited for her.
Suddenly Big Bob and Miriam appeared with a warm gaze- Hi there…huh…- started Big Bog when he saw to Olga who whispered his name- Hi there Arnold, well, I-I hope that you and Helga have a good time, and TAKE CARE OF HER- he ended with a firm voice.
Miriam nodded as he patted him on the shoulder- In top of all enjoy this night. Oh look- the older woman said- here she comes-
Arnold gulped a little as he listened to the sounds of her steps coming.
Then the world stopped. He saw the most beautiful girl in front of his eyes.
There she was, with her golden hair down with and a crown of very small white and pink roses in her hair. A beautiful light pink dress mixed with white hearts around the back of her body and her waist. Her shoes were simple and looked so comfortable; besides after all she was Helga.
Olga giggled putting out her camera- Oh c'mon baby sister! ; let me take a sweet photo of you and your date, please! You... look, so beautiful- she said wiping some tears from her face.
Both teenagers looked at each other and blushed, they managed to stay calm and do not feel embarrassed because of the too many attention they were having.
After literally ten minutes, Helga's patience was done.
-OK! OK! Sheesh Olga, is not like I'm a star. Let us go!- she said in a sarcastic and playful voice.
After saying all the respective goodbyes and getting into Arnold's car they arrived, for their lucky, at the time.
Arnold got out quickly of his car to open gentlemanly his date's door –Come out my star- he whispered getting a hold of her soft hand.
The blonde girl's cheeks became redder than ever- I-I-I… Thanks Arnold-
-Thanks brain, really. THANKS- she said mentally.
-You are looking half glamorous too football head- Helga said as they took the steps up to the main door.
He chuckled- I guess that's a way of complementing me, isn't it?-
-Yup- she nodded smirking as they both made their way to where they friend's were.
Helga was trying so hard to not moan at her beloved's touch. He was holding her hand tightly.
-I don't want to let it go-they thought at the same time.
-HELGA! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DRESS!- said Phoebe letting go of her boyfriend's arm as she hugged her- You're looking beautiful- she declared sincerely.
-You two Phoebs- she said patting her shoulder and looking directly at Gerald's face- Please don't drool too much-
To her surprised Gerald began to blush looking immediately to her opposite side- Same goes to you Pataki-
They laughed, as soon as the music began to play.
All different styles were making the atmosphere increase and increase.
Helga was sitting in one of the decorative chairs. She moved her gaze to all her classmates.
We've all grown up. Who could have said less?
There was Rhonda dancing trying to emphasize her golden accessories. Behind her was at some meters of distance Nadine and Lila who were talking like there was no tomorrow. Apparently they were going to the same college, so they became closer.
Helga had to laugh when she saw Curly, who was still trying to get Rhonda's attention. She blushed when he took out a rose from behind his jacket and winked.
Suddenly all the room was filled with girly screams and claps from all the men.
Rhonda took a scent of the rose and couldn't help but close her eyes, to her surprise, Curly was still Curly, so he tugged her down to her back and kissed her fully on the lips.
Everybody screamed joyfully.
-What a boy you little twisted freak- the girl with the sapphire eyes stated grinning.
After seeing both teenagers get outside Helga's face turned to Eugene and Sheena. They were dancing happily around all their classmates, laughing and cheering.
Then she heard a manly deep voice- YOU BOYS GET BACK HERE! - yelled Principal Wartz. Of course he wanted to said good-bye to all of his once little classmates. But he didn't count with the idea of Stinky, Sid and Harold putting some painting when he entered to the room.
-That was good- said Helga laughing heartily- Oh boy, she missed the old good times-
Then her gaze turned to Arnold.
The boy whom she had been in love since forever… The boy with the golden curls, which still make her senses all go wacky.
She couldn't help but stare at his eyes shine against all the lights.
Those green emerald eyes… She could get lost in them; the sparkles he was sending were electrifying to her.
That's when he turned to see her too.
She blushed slightly and even more when Arnold stopped his chat with Gerald and made his way towards her.
Oh my…
-Hey there –he said friendly kneeling so he'd get a better look of her face.
-Hey- Helga stated simply trying to sound normal.
His scent was killing her.
-Wanna dance? -he asked putting out his hand, in fact. He didn't wait to a respond; he just took her hand in his.
-Whoa, whoa! Easy Arnold-o- she admitted chuckling a little at his boldness.
They dance easy like half an hour without getting a break. They laughed hysterically all the time, their movements, their faces.
It was such a perfect time.
Then suddenly the voice of the Principal Wartz was heard- WELL, WELL! I guess you are having an amazing time. But…let's turn it a bit slow-
Everybody started to partner up as a beautiful quiet song was heard.
Helga looked around… all her classmates were with someone.
She gulped when she saw Arnold smiling warmly. Without letting go of the eye contact he reached her hand, giving it a bit squeeze.
Without trying, Helga just simply put her hands around his neck smiling lovely at her comfort.
Arnold was, in fact, doing the same.
He put his hands around her little waist and back. He mumbled the noise of the song sending goose bumps to Helga's body.
-You really are looking so beautiful tonight- he whispered in her ear.
Helga tightened her grip on Arnold's shirt, laughing a little- Thanks to Olga, then-
The blond boy shook his head- No. Because as you are, your beauty is already there-
Her eyes widen at such statement- Arnold- she whispered surprised.
He chuckled silently- C'mon let's get outside-
Once they made their way. Helga let go of Arnold's grip only to see the moon reflecting the roof, the roses which were there were glistening, like they were painted. She could smell them, and couldn't help but closed her eyes at that.
Arnold bit his lip, but then relaxed a little.
-Helga… about the stuff on my house- he started not looking at her at all- I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable-
She kept quiet for a moment or two, which made Arnold; continued- I guess my emotions won me. Pretty bad- he said emitting a low soft laugh.
-I-I, look football head… it was the heat of the moment… let's get it done there- she tried to say sounding simple and non-caring.
-N-NO! -he screamed turning his gaze towards here and grabbing her shoulders- Helga, please. What else do I have to do?! I-I-he muttered grabbing her closer-
-I love you- she whispered with him at the same time.
It was Arnold's time to widen his eyes- You reall… - he couldn't say anymore because his lips were full taken.
He melted immediately putting his hands around Helga's waist.
When the lack of oxygen got them, slowly they opened their eyes seeing in each other's the love which has been hidden.
-I really love you Arnold- she said tracing one of her hands on Arnold's cheek.
He shivered at her touch, and smiled goofily- I really love you too, Helga- he ended hugging her-
Helga laughed a little, which made Arnold questioned- What's so funny? –
-I'll be the boyfriend in this relationship- she said crossing her arms.
Arnold smirked widely- No, you can't. That's my job. Thanks anyway for caring. You are rolling to be my girlfriend-
Helga punched him slightly trying to hide the blush of those words- That's what you said-
-Yes it is- he said laughing and lifting her up a little- You can't do this. It's my part-
She smirked- Then this is mine- she smacked again, her lips onto his savoring every part of them.
After Arnold put her down he took her hand- Then, I won't disagree with you in that- he wicked.
They laughed as they made their way again, towards the main room.
Phoebe and Gerald looked at them, then at each other and laughed- Finally! –Gerald sighed punching Arnold in his back.
Phoebe squealed hugging her best friend who laughed hugging her back- What are we still doing here?! Let's dance!-
They all laughed and continue to dance until the sun was set.
Dreams can become true, if you have the courage to believe in them.
