So. Although originally I had another idea of who I wanted to go with Lila I have also taken into consideration what everyone else wanted. So I decided to write two versions of this story. One the way I was picturing it. And the other the way that others were looking for.

Scenario 1.

The car is pulled up to the curb as Rhonda's entire group of friends watch in anticipation. As it turns out Rhonda and Lila decided not to tell anyone who it was that Lila was bringing and to instead leave it as a surprise. Rhonda smiles to herself. Although she did approve of the guy that Lila was bringing, she had an alternate plan that no one really knew about. That was why she had no problem with borrowing an extra pass for him. See, even though Lila had her own free ticket. It was not actually a full access pass like Rhonda's. Every pass has its own plus one. In other words, you can bring someone with you. Lila's ticket was more of an extra plus one. If Rhonda wanted to go to the club with Nadine she could bring that Nadine and Lila could tag along with them. The special passes were rarely ever given out. Only in special cases such as Lila's. She was a total sweetheart plus the fact that she didn't have money yet still dressed in the newest fashions. Nadine never got one because the managers of the club were weirded out by her obsession with bugs and dirt.

"You told him what to wear, didn't you?" Rhonda asks Lila. "We do not want a repeat of the whole Stinky incident, do we?"

"Oh I promise he will be properly dress, Rhonda. Oh, I am ever so excited."

"Does she always talk like that?" Sebastians asks in a whisper.

"Why? Do you have a problem with it?"

"No...Not at all. It's actually kind of cute." He responds looking at Lila. He then turns to see Rhonda glaring at him as if to say "excuse me?" Realizing his mistake Sebastian adds, "Well I mean, not as cute as anything you do babe...Of course."

"Of course." Rhonda says critically.

While they wait for the car door to open, Helga and Brad are having their own fun. Well, their version of fun. In other words, the two of them sit underneath the food tables surrounded by cupcakes and straws, while giggling to themselves. Every couple of minutes one of the two of them would stick their head out from under the table with a straw. They would look around for the perfect target. Then after finding said person, they would hold the straw to their mouth and blow spitballs. Afterwards they would duck down below the table and laugh about whoever it was that got hit.

"Haha I just hit this short kid wearing over by Rhonda, he's wearing a backwards green hat and Rhonda is flipping out. Now they're just like flabbergasted and all like 'oh my god, what was that.' The kid had some nice white boots, though." Bradley laughs

Helga leans over and lifts the table cloth. "Show me." She demands as he sticks his head through. He points directly three feet in front of him and Helga gasps. "Sid's here? What would he be doing here?"

Before her question was answered, however, she could hear Rhonda's voice calling, "Helga G. Pataki and Bradley Bennett, what do you think you are doing?"

"Aw lighten up sweetheart." Brad says as he moves out from under the table and stands up. "But I must compliment how quick you were to realize who and where the spitballs were coming from."

"Trust me, it wasn't hard to pick out. And besides it wouldn't be the first time for either of you."

"Just be glad that I didn't put any in your thousand dollar hair." Brad mocks refering to the new hairstyle and color that Rhonda has chosen recently.

No one in the group pays attention to the fact that Sid has walked away. He has his cell phone out and attached to his ear, his hand covering his other ear.

"Hey, Arnold, you there?"

"Yes. Sid. What do you want?"

"Well I told you that I would go to the party with Lila right? Yes." Sid starts, not allowing Arnold get a word in. "Well I told you that Helga would be here, right? Well it turns out that she was under the table, sharing spit with this tall guy. And he's not exactly the worst looking guy."

"Okay, Sid. Why do I care?"

"Because. You walk up to her and kiss her this morning and now she's totally making out with a guy not even 12 hours later. Now I think that Helga is gross but I mean if you like her, go ahead. But you're really missing your chance. You have to get her, right away." Sid practically yells. A few of the surrounding people, mainly the elderly, turn around to watch him as he freaks out. One old woman walks up to him and offers him a pill.

"What is this? Some sort of drug? WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM? I DON'T DO DRUGS!" Sid yells at the woman. He turns back to the phone. "No not you Arnold. This old person's trying to drug me."

"It is not drugs. It's 'medication.' for that yelling problem of yours, sonny."

"I DO NOT HAVE A... I mean, I don't have a yelling problem. I am a completely sane human being."

The woman rolls her eyes and walks away. Meanwhile, Lila has reached Sid's side and grabs his hand. "Oh I'm sure I would just love to get some punch with you."

"Oh, of course. Just give me a moment." Sid says as he shoos Lila away. "Listen Arnold, I am here for one reason and one reason only. To spy on Helga. I have even got a mini camera attached to the rim of my hat. I'll send you the video later."

"What about Lila? Lila is a nice girl. You better hang out with her."

"Oh I will, I just want you to know that I will be texting you throughout the night."

Sid walks over to Lila and grabs her hand back. He tries to make it seem that he genuinely likes her. Which isn't to say he doesn't like her, it just means that he wasn't with her for that reason tonight.

"We were just trying to have fun." Bradley pleads.

"Yeah, come on, don't be so uptight. You brought me here to have a good time. See look, I found a new guy and I'm having a good time." Helga says smiling. "What more do you want?"

"I brought you here to forget Arnold. Not disturb the other guests." Rhonda scolds. Helga flinches at Arnold's name but nods as she considers the suggestion.

"Fine. I promise that we wont shoot anymore spitballs." Bradley says, smirking.

"Okay. No terrorizing the guests in any way." Rhonda clarifies.

"Wow princess, you really need to learn to kick back and have a little fun."

"There is plenty of room for fun in one's house. Not here. This is supposed to a sophisticated party."

"My father is throwing this party. I think I'm in the clear."

Blythe Bennett comes over to compliment Sid's hat and then walks away as if nothing happened.

"What was that about?" Sid asks.

"That's my brother Blythe, he really isn't into all this upper crust society thing. He had to take his hat off. It was probably a genuine compliment." Brad says to Sid, he turns to Helga and says. "I am so glad that you were able to come tonight, babe. It's been a blast, but I think I should be going for reasons I will tell you over text." He takes out a card and hands it over to Helga. "It has my number on it."

Brad turns to walk away as Helga clutches the paper to her heart. "Oh wait." He says turning around. He leans in and to everyone's surprise, kisses Helga. Forget about Arnold, THIS is the best moment of my life. Helga thinks to herself. As soon as Brad is out of eyesight, Helga faints on the ground, her pupils turned to hearts as she wakes up only seconds later. Sid is ultimately the one to help her up and she thanks him. A half hour later they leave the party, every one of them happy with their results.

Later on that night Lila and Rhonda have a slumber party.

"Remind me again why I needed to bring Sid and not just take Arnold."

"Because Arnold would have been all over Helga and probably find a way to stop them. Sid would watch from a distance and tell Arnold about it. Now that Arnold will believe Helga has moved on, he will want to move on as well. And who will he find will be interested? Oh that's right. You."

"Don't you think that this is all kind of mean."

Rhonda winks,"Sometimes you've got to mean to get what you want."

Scenario 2 will be coming soon. I kind of liked the idea of Sid being in this and I had to write it. But there will be another scenario with Arnold. Chapter 10 will probably also have 2 scenarios or people can just pick which one they liked better. We'll see. Thanks for your support guys! :)
