Here's the next chapter of 'Love Square'! Anyway, enjoy!


Over at the arcade, Arnold and Rhonda entered inside as Rhonda smiled. "You know, Arnold, this feels pretty nice, just being here. You and me."

Arnold smiled towards Rhonda. "Yeah. Usually, something would happen around this point, but I'm glad it hasn't yet."

Arnold then thought to himself, "Okay, Arnold, you just got a date with Rhonda Lloyd, a girl you never would have guessed had a crush on you! This is a good opportunity. Don't waste it."

At the same time, Rhonda thought to herself, "All right, not going to mess this one up. Just treat it like you treat an outing with boys like Sid or Harold... though don't try to come on to him too suddenly. I don't want to chase Arnold away."

"So, Arnold..." Rhonda asked as she and Arnold sat down to a little space-shooter. "I know this isn't your first time, dating somebody, but... so far, I'm enjoying your company."

"I'm enjoying your company too, Rhonda." Arnold smiled as he looked towards her eyes.

From behind the machine, where Rhonda was sitting, Helga peered from behind and snickered as she muttered to herself, "Not for long..."

Helga then disappeared into the machine and got straight to work as she decided to cut a little wire to disable the game. She smirked. "No way will Rhonda be having fun if her machine doesn't work and Arnold is winning!"

As soon as Helga got out of the machine and crawled off so that Arnold and Rhonda don't notice her leaving, Curly was seen, crawling towards the back of the game machine as he entered inside.

"How convenient!" Curly smirked as he saw a wire nearby and cut it. "Arnold can't win my sweetheart's heart if he can't win!"

Curly laughed a little bit as he rolled out of the game machine and crawled off before the two of them could notice.

Before Arnold and Rhonda could insert their coins, Rhonda looked up to see her screen was glitching.

"Arnold, I think the screen on this is glitching a little. Yours?" Rhonda asked.

Arnold looked up. "Mine seems to be glitching as well."

"Hmmm..." Rhonda paused. "Wonder what happened. It seemed to be working all right a second ago..."

Arnold shrugged. "Oh well, it was probably just an old arcade game anyway. What do you say we try something else?"

"Okay." Rhonda nodded as the two started to walk off.

Nearby, Helga could not believe what she just saw. Sure, she got Rhonda's sabotaged... but how did she get ARNOLD'S screen to sabotage? She thought she clicked Rhonda's wire only! She didn't get it!

Not too far, Curly was thinking the same thing as he muttered to himself, "I could have sworn... I thought Arnold's screen was the only one I glitched! Why did Rhonda's glitch too?"


Nearby one of the dancing arcade games, Rhonda smiled as she examined it. "Oh, I always loved those DDR machines! Good for the exercise, as Nadine always says!"

"I don't think I've tried them." Arnold said in curiosity. "But anything goes once..."

As Arnold and Rhonda went towards the DDR machines, Helga peeked out and smirked. "No doubt Rhonda and Arnold will go easy. I'll just set it to super hard on her end..."

Helga smirked. "MY WAY!"

Not too far, Curly smirked as he watched Arnold and Rhonda coming in. "So, Arnold and Rhonda at the dance game? Well, no doubt he'll want to go easy..."

Curly smirked. "Let's turn it up a level... or three!"

Curly laughed to himself evilly, but quietly so that he wouldn't draw attention to anybody...

As soon as Arnold and Rhonda got on the machines, Helga already entered Rhonda's end of the machine as Rhonda inserted a few coins in the machine and set the difficulty to easy. Around the same time, Curly entered Arnold's end of the machine and watched as Arnold put a few coins in the machine and set the difficulty on easy. As soon as Arnold and Rhonda turned towards each other, Helga and Curly both took quick control of the sticks as they both put their machines on super hard.

"Any song you had in mind?" Rhonda asked as she pushed the enter button with a variety of songs. By this time, Helga and Curly had already got out of the machines and went towards a safe distance.

Arnold turned as he examined the songs on the list. "Oh, I didn't think they'd have this one!"

Rhonda examined the song choice as she said, "Oh, nice! A remix of one of Dino Spumoni's songs! I like that choice!"

Rhonda then pushed the button as she nodded. "Let's get started!"


From inside the machine, Helga chuckled as she watched Rhonda stare in shock.

"What the- uh!" Rhonda yelped as she started to dance along to the number.

Helga chuckled to herself. This was going great.


Curly smirked, watching Arnold dancing to the multiple arrows as he was trying to pay attention.

"This is easy?" Arnold said to himself as he started to dance around to it.

Curly chuckled to himself. Oh, this was too easy!


Both Arnold and Rhonda were having a difficult time keeping up as they kept trying to dance towards the arrows so that the song could be finished. Both Arnold and Rhonda were getting tired out. This was proving to be more difficult than they thought.

As soon as the song ended, Rhonda groaned as she collapsed. Arnold responded by turning around and collapsing right on Rhonda.

Arnold and Rhonda both panted as Rhonda said, "Yours went super hard too?"

"I don't know what happened..." Arnold groaned.

Both of them recovered as they realized the position they were in. Arnold quickly got off of Rhonda as he blushed. "Oh, I'm so sorry..."

"It's all right..." Rhonda chuckled as she blushed. "I guess we both didn't know what we were doing."

Arnold and Rhonda then smiled at each other.

From nearby, Helga stared with wide-eyes. This was supposed to drive Arnold AWAY from Rhonda! How are these two getting a deeper connection!

Not too far, Curly growled. This wasn't supposed to happen! It should have been HIM on top of Rhonda! Oh, how he HATED that football head, to quote Helga Pataki in his head.


"Whew..." Rhonda smiled as she and Arnold walked out of the arcade. "All in all, not bad..."

Arnold nodded. "Yeah, it was actually pretty fun, Rhonda. It's weird, usually, a date would probably go wrong at this point..."

"Buddy, I assure you, this date is the right thing in the world." Rhonda smiled. "Anyway, let's do this again sometime tomorrow, but I'll pick the spot."

Arnold nodded. "All right. See you around, Rhonda."

"Bye, Arnold." Rhonda smiled as the two of them went off together.

Watching from nearby, Helga growled as she started to angrily walk out of the arcade. Instead of driving them away, they got closer together! She didn't break them up!

Well, no worries. She'll try again... tomorrow.

Walking out at the same time was Curly, still mad that he didn't get his beloved in his arms. He didn't want Arnold to get close to her! He knew he would have to try again tomorrow. Curly was persistent, he knew exactly what to do!


And that is the fourth chapter! How was it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest!
