Helga decided to snap out of it and start walking around. She thought she would start
on the first floor. Maybe that would let her tension and jitters go. She got up and
walked out. She headed toward the elevator to go to the first floor.
"I had a great time, Carey."
"Yes, me too."
Arnold and Carey walked out of the sun room on the 5th deck of the USS Turtle Dove.
"What do you want to do now?" Arnold said looking up at her.
"I'm not sure."
There was a rattle behind them. They looked back, but no one was there, but a dark shadow.
"Thats the third time that happened," Arnold said.
"What?"
"never mind."
"I know what we can do," Carey said.
"what?" Arnold said letting go of Carey's hand.
"Come on, I'll show you."
Carey and Arnold walked over to a dark corner on the 1st floor.
"What are we doing here?" Arnold asked.
"Arnold, I like you like you."
Arnold stared at her, the voice of Lila rang through his mind.
"What are you doing?" Carey said.
"Uh, what? nothing," Arnold said snapping out of his sudden daze.
Carey leaned in to kiss him. She got a good kiss. They sat there for a minute when Arnold's eyes flew open and pushed her away.
"What are you doing!?" Arnold said.
"I'm kissing you, what does it look like?"
"But, but...!" Arnold stuttered.
"ARNOLD!?"
Carey and Arnold snapped around and saw Helga staring at them wide eyes and in total shock.
"Helga! What are you doing here?" Arnold said.
"I was just, just, uh, walking around football head. Thats all. Are you two making out?" Helga said.
Carey and Arnold looked at each other.
"no, I-"
"STOP! Shut up!! Just SHUT UP, Arnold! I don't care!! GO ON!! Kiss her! Make out! See if I care! No snot out of my nose!" Helga said stepping away.
"Helga, wait! I wasn't! She- I- and then-!!" Arnold stuttered and got up to chase her.
"Wait, Arnold! What about me?" Carey said.
"Sorry, I have to go straighted up thing with Helga."
"Why do you care?" Carey said, "You don't love her."
Arnold stopped in his tracks.
"I'm not so sure anymore. I'm not so sure."
Arnold turned away and ran off.
Carey looked at Arnold. "Gee, what a twist of fate!"
"Phoebe!!! Where are you?! Are we playing hide and seek?!" Gerald looked up and down on all the corridors. He couldn't find Phoebe.
"Where is she?" He Whispered to himself.
Phoebe heard the cry from Gerald. She knew it was sound proof. But she could hear him. She got up and pounded on the door. It was padded.
"GERALD!!! GERALDDDDDD!!!!!!!!" Phoebe was yelling so loud she was deafing herself.
"Gerald....Gerald! Pleaseeeeeeeeee!!!!" Phoebe slid down the door and crouched against it.
Gerald walked right passed the door.
Helga ran farther and farther. She couldn't stop. She ran and ran. She could care less if her breath was gone, or if she just pushed someone to the floor. All she could think about was Carey and Arnold. Arnold and Carey. In the dark corner. She suddenly stopped. The rail was in front of her.
"HELGAAAAAA!!!!!"
Was she hearing things? She turned around. No one was there.
"Criminey, I'm a basketcase!!" She turned back around. It was about 5:00 pm. Dinner assignments would be announced soon, and then the confession.
"HELGAAAAAA!!!" The voice said again.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU-" She whipped around and saw Hart. Why was Hart always there when she needed someone?
"Just like Arnold." she whispered.
"Helga, whats the matter? Your out of breath. Your sweating." Hart came up and caressed her forehead.
"Please don't do that." Helga said turning away from him.
"ok. Whats the matter with you? You would think that we were on the Titanic except the Turtle Dove!" Hart smiled little but frowned as soon as she saw her tears.
"I saw your football headed friend. He seemed to be looking for someone. Maybe it's you."
"Hart, please. Not now." She turned around but no one was there. "Hart?"
"HELGAAA!"
"Oh no, not again. I can't stand those...." She turned around and face to face was her and Arnold. They were only inches away from each other.
"Oh, excuse me. I was looking for you." Arnold said backing away from her.
"Oh. Excuse me. I got to go to, to, to, to, uh..."
"go get ready?"
"yeah, that was it. See you."
"Wait."
Helga stopped, and turned towards him.
"Listen, I have to explain something. Carey was kissing me, and I didn't mean for her to-"
"Hey!" Helga barked, stopping Arnold from going any further. "No snot out of my nose."
"HEEELLLLPPPP!!!" Phoebe was pounding on the padded door and screaming her little heart out. Oh, dinner times about to start. I wonder if anyone misses me yet?"
"Phoebe. Where are you?" Gerald whispered to himself. He was sitting on his bunk.
Helga burst in and started to take off her dress.
"HEY HO HO!!!! Helga! Please! I'm here!!!"
"GERALD!!! Get the heck outta here! I didn't know you were here! I was thinking about something.....Well, Get outta here!!! I don't have all night you know!!!"
Arnold came in.
"Hello, Gerald."
Hello, Arnold."
"Are you two STILL fighting!?" Helga said getting another dress from her suitcase.
"yes." Arnold said. He took off his shirt. Helga watched. She didn't say anything.
"I thought you two talked things over! Why are you still fighting!?" She said.
Gerald and Arnold looked at each other.
"Phoebe." They said.
"We were fighting about Phoebe." Arnold said.
"Where is Phoebe?" Helga said.
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
