Chapter 7: Truth
Kurt and Kitty sat in the rec room. Their popcorn cracking in their mouths. They had just declared themselves 'boyfriend, girlfriend'. Arnold, Helga, and Rouge had heard the agreement between the two, with heavy breathing.
"Keety?" Kurt stated.
"Yeah, Kurt?" Kitty asked.
"Vill you be my girlfriend?" At that moment, Arnold, Helga, and Rouge all held their breath.
"Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend." The troop on the top of the stairs all smiled. They had done it. They had brought their couple together.
Later, Helga and Rouge were sitting in Helga's room. They were talking about how early they had to wake up, and how high school was a little dull. Suddenly, Rouge changed the subject.
"Helga how did you and Arnold declare your relationship?" Rouge asked.
"Oh, um, well we met and we became an instant couple." Helga lied.
"That's not the truth is it?" Helga shook her head. "Come on, Helga. What really happened?"
"Alright, when I started preschool, I felt like I didn't matter. My parents barely noticed me, and no one ever stopped and helped me along.
"That sounds rough." Rouge stated.
"It was, until I met Arnold. He put his umbrella over my head and told me that he liked my bow. He was the first person to show me any kind of kindness. I fell for him instantly, but I was confused over my emotions. Instead of showing him the kindness he showed me, I bullied him for a long time. Then when we were nine years old, I confessed that I loved him, but then I took it back, because he didn't tell me how he felt. Then when we were ten, he told me that he had a crush on me, but wanted to wait to have a full relationship. Then two years passed and out of the blue at lunch, in a private part of the school, Arnold told me that he loved me. We had an almost husband/wife relationship, and I guess you can say, we have been married for three years now." Helga told Rouge.
Rouge's eyes were wide at the wild, crazy, and entertaining roller-coaster that these two had been on. It reminded her of that cartoon, Yo Bob!, but she had to pay attention to this.
"That's a very good outcome, Helga." Rouge stated.
"Yeah, I always think of what might of happened if Arnold went to a different preschool, and never put that umbrella over my head. Before he did that, my closet was a place where I cried my heart out, but after that one action, it became his shrine." Helga told Rouge.
"Shrine?" Rouge asked.
"From ages four to twelve, I always made little statues crafted into Arnold's likeness, but don't worry, my therapist says that's okay*." Helga stated.
"Okay. Wait, when did you say that Arnold told you he loved you?" Rouge asked.
"October 25. Why?" Helga asked.
"That's tomorrow."

UPDATE: Guys, I'm so sorry for the long wait. I just started high school, and getting homework, so I'm going to be busy, but I will make my fanfiction account my third priority, behind homework and getting into the play at school!
This story is almost done. Actually, I only have one more chapter left! Then I would like to work on my next story, TRAINing, about the X-men going on a train trip from New York to California. I'm excited about this one. Thanks to everyone who has read this story and reviewed! See you soon! Live long and prosper.
