And just like last time I wrote this, I should technically be doing my uni studies but instead I'm editing :)


Technically I should be working right now but instead I'm writing this.


The bass of Black Eyed Peas 'Dirty Bits' filled the room as the gang walked into the club. Word must have gone out about the new club because it was busy filled with people on the dance floor. Coloured lights were going crazy and smoke machines were working overtime. Harold had been right, the bouncer had let them through without checking their IDs. He walked over to the bar with Sid and Stinky while Eugene and Nadine went straight to the dance floor. Arnold and Gerald found a booth in the corner while they waited for the girls to come. They had decided to come separately so they could have two cars.

"So Arnold, my man, any progress on Helga?" asked Gerald as he nodded at Harold indicating they wanted a beer as well.

"I think so, I mean, you saw our dance practice this afternoon." Replied Arnold as he took his wallet out of his back pocket to grab some money out.

A girl walked passed and winked flirtatiously at Arnold. Arnold being his usual self didn't notice. Gerald did though and rolled his eyes.

"Man, I swear you never notice any girl lookin' at you." Gerald remarked.

"Well, there's only one girl I want noticing me but she insists on pretending to hate me." Replied Arnold leaning back on the booth.

It was at that moment, Gerald spotted his girlfriend at the entrance. He wolf whistled in appreciation as the girls walked towards them. Phoebe was wearing a skin tight sky blue mini halter neck dress and 3 inch platforms. Her hair was down and crimpled. She wore baby pink lipstick and light eye shadow. She looked smoking hot. Her best friend also looked hot. Helga was wearing a black boob tube and a flowy pink and purple skirt that was at her thighs at the front and to the floor at the back. Her hair was curled and pinned to the side and she was wearing pink peep toe pumps.

"You better make her yours soon, or I can see you getting into a lot of fights tonight." Commented Gerald to Arnold noticing a lot of the guys at the club looking at Helga and Phoebe. One guy even tried to touch Helga but she just turned her head and glared at him. He immediately backed away.

'Yeah that's right. She's mine.' Arnold thought to himself as he watched Helga reject another guy. He chuckled watching their attempts.

"Hi boys." Helga greeted as she sat in the booth next Arnold. Phoebe went to the other side of the booth and sat next to Gerald.

"Mmm, mmm, mm, my girl is lookin' fine tonight." Gerald hollered happily as Harold came to the booth and gave Gerald and Arnold their beers. He grabbed a chair from a nearby table and sat at the end of the booth. Arnold gave Harold some money for the beer.

"This place is pretty good. I was totally right about the ID check. They play good music too." Harold said before taking a swig of his beer.

"Come on, let's dance." Phoebe said excitedly as she pulled Gerald up off his seat. Gerald smiled. He took a sip of his beer before putting it down and followed his girlfriend to the dance floor.

"You guys should go dance as well, I'll stay here with the drinks. I'm waiting for Patty anyways." Harold insisted pushing Arnold and Helga out of the booth.

"Hang on! Let me at least taste my beer!" Arnold said quickly before drinking his beer then putting it back down on the table. He then followed Helga to the dance floor.

"Yuck, how can you drink that crap?" Asked Helga in disgust. She had her fair share of drinking but never went overboard. She had seen her mother go downhill too many times.

"Aw, it's not that bad." Arnold grinned in his 'look at the bright side' attitude.

J-Lo's 'On the Floor' came on and Phoebe and Helga smiled excitedly. "This is our song!" Phoebe said happily. Helga nodded also excited. Arnold smirked as he grabbed Helga's hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor.

"Dance with me." Arnold whispered as he placed Helga's arms around his neck. At first Helga was hesitant but then listening to the song she started swaying her hips with the music. Arnold's movements followed her as he placed his hands on her hips. They took step back then a step forward never stopping the swaying of their hips. They weren't doing any fancy moves, they were just moving to the beat of the song. They looked like the perfect couple.

"Dance the night away, live your life, and stay young on the floor, dance the night away, grab somebody and drink a little more," Helga sung softly with the music as she turned so her back was to Arnold's chest. She swayed her hips grinding into his.

"I'm gonna have to steal you away if you keep dancing like this." Arnold said softly in Helga's ear then placed a soft kiss on her neck. Helga moaned as she felt his lips. She didn't have the will to stop him. She couldn't hide the fact that he felt so good kissing her. She moved her head so Arnold had more access. Her hand moved up and clenched his hair as they moved to the music.

"Then take me away." Helga replied as she closed her eyes not realising she had said that out loud.

"Let's get out of here." Arnold said with desire in his voice. He stopped dancing then took Helga's hand. Helga opened her eyes in surprised as Arnold led her back to the booth.

"Arnoldo?" Helga asked confused. Arnold ignored her and instead looked at Harold.

"Harold, I'm gonna take Helga home, she's feeling sick. I'll text Gerald so he can go home with Phoebs. But thanks for the invite." Arnold said to Harold who was now sitting with Patty. Harold nodded and waved goodbye to Arnold and Helga. Patty smiled knowingly. She knew there was always a spark between the two but never said anything.

"I'm not sick." Helga said smirking as they walked towards Arnold's car. Arnold had saved up over the years and now he had a classic red Nissan 300zx. It was a classic muscle car that had an engine loud enough to wake the dead.

"Well, how else was I going to steal you away?" replied Arnold pushing her back against the car with his body. Her hands leaned on his chest, his leg in between hers.

"Are you okay with this?" Arnold asked hesitantly as he pulled away wondering whether this was a good idea or not.

Instead of Helga replying, she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought Arnold close then placed a soft kiss on his lips. Arnold smiled, glad that she still wanted to go with him. He opened the passenger side door to let Helga in then quickly sent a text to Gerald before driving off.

Gerald opened his phone up when he heard the message tone go off. He looked at the message and chuckled.

"What's so funny?" asked Phoebe curiously. They were at the bar waiting for the bartender with their drinks. Gerald gave his phone to Phoebe so she could see the message.

'Taking Helga home, tell Phoebe she's staying over my place tonight.'

"Arnold's a bold kid." Commented Gerald as Phoebe gave him back his phone. He placed the phone back into his back pocket.

"I think you're too much of an influence on him sometimes." Replied Phoebe almost motherly but then added, "I'm glad you do. He needs to have a dark side once in a while."


"Why are we going through the fire escape?" asked Helga as they climbed the fire escape of Arnold's building. It wasn't something new to her, climbing the fire escape to Arnold's room. She had often snuck into Arnold's room when she was younger but it was only in the last couple of years, she was actually invited.

"So grandpa and grandma don't know you're here." Arnold replied as they reached the roof and headed for the skyline window that led to Arnold's room.

"Isn't that a bit too 'bad boyish' for you?" Asked Helga with an eyebrow raised.

"Hey, I'm not a goody-goody all the time." Retorted Arnold as he opened the window. "Remember when Gerald and I nearly ditched your food groups play?"

"Nearly? you mean you DID ditch it." Helga retorted with her arms crossed.

"We came back didn't we?" Arnold answered back as he helped Helga get through the opened window.

"That banana suit did kinda look wrong on you." Helga chuckled remembering how the banana suit came between his legs.

When they were safe inside, using his infamous universal remote, Arnold turned his stereo on softly and turned on the spotlights instead of the main light. It created a romantic mood to the room. The room hadn't changed much over the years, the stereo system and the laptop had upgraded, the bed was still against the built-in bookshelf but the carpet had changed to dark grey and the windows on the skylight had been tinted.

"Helga, I can take you home if you don't wanna be here." Arnold said allowing his chivalrous side to come out again. He took Helga's hand and lifted it to his lips.

"Oh Football head. You lie to your friends, you sneak me into your room, and now you're telling me I can go home if I want to?"

Arnold looked at Helga sheepishly. Helga chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I thought you just said you weren't a goody-goody?" She said softly then lifted her head up as pulled his head down and softly placed her lips on his.

Arnold deepened the kiss and pushed his tongue in her mouth as his hands found her hips. Helga responded by parting her lips and giving him more access. Arnold's hands made their way underneath her boobtube and he caressed her flesh as he kissed her.

"Arnold," Helga gasped as Arnold's lips made their way to her neck trailing down to her shoulder.

"You should take this off." Arnold said softly as he pulled Helga's boobtube over her head then threw it to the floor. He kissed her bare shoulder and trailed to her collarbone before taking his own shirt off and throwing it on the floor with the discarded boobtube.

Helga loved the feeling of Arnold's bare chest and stomach up against hers. It turned her on even more when she felt Arnold poking her with a certain organ. She moaned as he cupped her breast. He had only held one other girl's breast before, Lila's. He and Lila never went further than that though. Just as Arnold was about to unclip Helga's strapless bra. The bedroom door swung open.

"I'm sure I heard someone in here." A female voice said before she flipped the switch to the main light on. Stella stood at the door wide eyed with Miles behind her. They were speechless at the scene in front of them.

"Mom!? Dad!? What are you doing here?!" exclaimed Arnold as he held Helga close. Helga went bright red and hid her face in Arnold's bare chest.

"We came home to surprise you!" Replied Stella, red in the face, trying not to look at Helga. "It looks like you are a bit busy so we'll just go back downstairs now. Just come down after you're fully dressed." Arnold's parents quickly shut the door and left.


AN: Sorry to leave it on a cliff hanger, actually no not really. I like leaving chapters on cliff hangers.


AN: so with the new semester starting in AUS, I may not be able to get on fanfic as often but I will finish editing and rewriting this before I start anything else
