THE REUNION

I loooove Hey Arnold and have done since it first aired in 1996 and being old I was well 12 or so when it started haha so yeah guess my age if you want but I like to watch, read and try to draw Hey arnold stuff and adore Helga and Arnold. I like the way Helga dreams of her wedding with Arnold and is actually sweet to him which makes me think perhaps when they are married and come on they would have married eventually, that she would not be a bitch to him, but as far as everyone else is concerned even Geraldo she would probably stay cold and well pretty rude but who cares? she has arnold and a quick note, my fics will have her with Arnold, no surpries there. I may add gloria, arnie and lila to the story too. Oh and Jason (chocolate boy) for fun, just what will he be addicted to now?

Well here is my First Hey arnold fic. Yes it will be long. Bare with me.

Oh and to the person who asked about ages and such, Yeah they are meant to be 25 yrs old and Helga got emancipated at age 15 and moved in with Arnold not long after. The torn up bit of journal he found was from when she was 15 as well. So yeah They are 25 now and I tend to do flashbacks to high school only really as I do not think the childhood stuff needs mentioning, you can watch the show if you want that haha!

Also, I doubt this fic will have a pregnancy in it as I already have another fic for that after this one.

THE REUNION

The kids of Hillwood are all grown up and MR Simmons has invited his most favored fourth grade class of PS118 to a big reunion. Its been 15 years so alot has changed. Who is married? who is successful? who are not even friends anymore and who is not invited but comes along anyway. A funny read with some real sad, fluffy and angst thrown in.

info

Miles and Stella are Arnold's parents

Sorry if the fic is drama centric, its just based on my own experiences to a point, well not the violence part. I'm just depressive at the moment and find it easier to write darker more serious stories at the moment. However Arnie will be showing up in this fic as promised to the loyal reviewers so thank you for the reviews. xoxox

"Good bye Jason, we barely knew you."

Two weeks had passed since the news flash and only a matter of days later Arnold was called, because Jasons mother got in contact with the HRC and asked to speak with the last person Jason officially talked with before being admitted. Arnold gladly accepted the call and was shocked when he was one of the only people asked to identify the body. The world of drug dealing is not one people come racing to the police about especially those who supply and cook up the meth which Jason was distributing on behalf.

The funeral was small and everyone dressed in black. Jasons body according to Arnold was almost emaciated and his skin was yellow with purple stains under his eyes. his mouth was wide open and his fingers were lifted up as were his feet. He was a devastating sight to behold and his poor mother cried on Arnolds shoulder.

Helga attended the funeral with her husband and sat at the front, where the coffin was lowered. The irony was that Jason aka chocolate boy was wealthy, he had a hired nanny look after him when he was very small which is actually how the chocolate obsession began, he did not have ADD as she told Arnold in his drug induced state that evening he visited. Arnold remembered trying to help Jason but it got to a point where he did not only not want help, he wanted to sell and promote the very thing he was addicted to. The drug had consumed his mind, body and soul and taken everything and everyone he loved away from him.

A few tears fell from the familiar faces that stood up when Jason was laid to rest. Noone really knew which grade he was in and there was no one that Arnold or Helga had recognized from the year below them right through school.

Sid and Stinky came to pay their respects while Lila, wearing a black veil and long black dress wailed on her husbands shoulder. "This is ever so awful."

Rhonda clung on to her husband dressed like royalty in a velvet dress and hair in a french style bun. She could not stop crying. This had nothing to do with "chocolate boy." It was her hormones. She was now into her fifth week of pregnancy and very hormonal.

"Its your hormones sweet pea." Thaddeus whispered while trying to stroke her hair. She smacked his hand.

"Not my hair." "Do NOT mess it up" she growled then started crying again.

Harold stood behind Sid and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Does er She know who the Father is?" "What if its you Sid?" he whispered.

"Shhh." Sid hissed. "We wont know anything until after the baby is born."

Harold sighed. "I guess Curly isn't that smart after all."

Sid attempted to suppress a laugh as it was very inappropriate to giggle at a funeral.

Helga held on to Arnolds hand and told him she felt sorry for his demise.

"Its rough you know." She said. "You think you have it bad and then there's someone else destroying their life right infront of you." The wind blew in her long blonde hair as she spoke.

Arnold clutched her waist. Her black satin skirt fell just below her knees and she wore tights and buckle shoes.
"You're right Helga." "Its just such a shame." "none of us here really knew him at all."

"Well you knew him better than most." Helga replied softly.

When his Mother got up to speak, she could barely get her words out. She wished her husband was here but he had died long ago due to Alcoholism.

Helga gasped and Arnold tightened his grip on her waist, he knew this would hit home hard for her with Miriam.

"Now my baby Jason is gone, I feel I lost a son I barely knew and and..." she could no longer speak any longer for her tears were gushing out of her.

The minister led her down and she sat beside Arnold.

"Thank you for coming Mr shortman" she wept. "I don't know about Jason's friends and I can only imagine the people he associated with during his...final days." she blubbered. "Im just so thankful you could be here."

The raven haired woman looked at Helga. "Oh forgive me and you too, Mrs Shortman?"

Helga nodded and smiled. Letting her nice sympathetic side show she apologized and said she understood addiction.

"It had gripped someone in my family for a very long time." "It hurts alot, I am so sorry."

Jasons Mother went to embrace Helga in a warm hug. Helgas eyes bulged and the friends she knew who were at the funeral were wide eyed.

Helga just gave into the moment and hugged the poor woman back.

Arnold then handed his card over to her and said if she ever needed to talk, that she could make an appointment with him, the first one would be free of charge on account of the situation.

"Thank you." She said. "I'll do that."

Helga sighed when they arrived home. The night was falling and the wind was cooling as autumn was in full swing now.

Helga went upstairs to remove her outfit and Arnold checked his phone. There was a text from his cousin Arnie.

"Im coming to visit." "where do you live?"

Arnold sighed. "Oh just great." He replied with his address and asked when he would be heading over.

"As soon as possible I have very good news" "Im married." "See you soon."

Arnold told Helga about the text.

"What the hell is that?" "Thats not a text its a few lines, its not even a proper string of sentences." she groaned.

Both of them were in the kitchen chopping up vegetables and Helga was putting some pasta in a boiling pot.

"I don't know, but that's my cousin." Arnold sighed.

"Does he have to come?" "I mean do you want him to?" Helga asked, stirring up some vegetables in a pan.

Arnold bit his thumbnail. "I guess." "Its been over ten years."

Helga added spices and some meat to her stirfry and kept her eye on the boiling pasta.

"Well okay then." she said.

"He wont stay long will he?" She shot her husband a look.

Arnold smiled. "No, and he wont be staying here." "He prefers the boarding house."

"The boarding house?" Helga questioned.

"Yup." "Since My parents are back he will want to see them."

Helga dished up two plates and Arnold placed two glasses of wine on the table with some cutlery.

"Well good." She said. "He wont be here long then?" she started to eat.

Then there was a knock at the door.

Arnold took a sip of his wine then went to answer.

"Criminy." Helga grumbled. "There's always someone banging on our door."

"Hey cuz"

It was Arnie and he had a wife, a very familiar looking one too.

Standing outside in the moonlight with a swollen belly, was Gloria the girl Helga despised even more than Lila.

"This is my wife." "She is an amazing beauty." "I like her alot."

Gloria smiled and held her hand out to Arnold.

"Hey Arnold Im so pleased to see you again." she squeaked.

"You too." Arnold replied. He looked at her belly.

"Ah, congratulations." "When is your baby due?" he asked.

Arnie let himself in and walked toward the kitchen where Helga was eating.

She immediately dropped her fork and froze.

"You're here already?" she asked with an unfriendly tone.

"Hey helga, you are looking lovely as usual."

"Oh yeah?" She replied. "I've gotten back from a funeral less than two hours ago."

Arnie smiled. "Oh, well it suits you." He then walked in and sat in Arnolds seat and sipped on his wine.

Helga got up and walked outside. She was clearly annoyed at Arnolds cousins brash actions.

She almost screamed when she saw Arnold talking to Gloria. He was taking her coat and leading her down the hall.

"Gloria?" she narrowed her eyes.

The blonde waddled over to Helga and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hello dearest Helga." "Can you believe it?" "Im married and pregnant."

Gloria rubbed her belly with glee when she spoke.

"Im due in three months time." "Its a boy." "ahhh we are so excited." She ranted on about the pregnancy and how well she felt.

Arnold led Gloria into the living room.

"Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" Arnold said.

"Oh no coffee, i cant have caffeine." Gloria patted her belly protectively.

Helga rolled her eyes. "Well what can you have?" she asked.

"Uh a glass of orange juice would be amazing." she replied.

"Sure thing." Arnold replied, walking into the kitchen.

He was a bit shocked to see his cousin sitting at their table eating his dinner and finishing his wine.

"Arnie?" he asked.

Arnie spun around and wiped his mouth.

"Your wife is a good cook." "My Gloria can barely boil an egg but oh how I love her."

Helga opened the fridge and poured a glass of juice into a glass.

She handed it to Arnie. "Give this to your wife." she ordered.

"Arnold I need to speak with you."

Arnie shrugged and headed into the living room.

"What the hell was that?" She said, hands on hips.

"Helga" Arnold replied. "Dont put your hands on your hips its bad for you pelvic muscles."

Helga threw her arms in the air. "I dont care." "What is that weirdo doing waltzing on in here eating our food and drinking our wine?"

"thats what he's like." Arnold replied. "You know him."

Helga folded her arms and grabbed her glass of wine, still half full.

"I knew he was madly in love with me." "I still don't trust him."

Arnold walked up behind her and kissed her cheek. "I'm sure if he does still like you, Ill make sure he knows whats what."

This made Helga feel giddy. She loved it when her husband went all macho protective on her.

She sipped the rest of her wine and leaned her head back to kiss him.

"You do that my love." "I wont stop you."

Arnold clutched her arm. "Damn right you wont."

"Oh Arnold, stop it you're turning me on." She giggled.

The two of them playfully teased each other until they reached the living room where Gloria had finished her juice and was sitting beside Arnie.

Arnie was resting his head on Glorias belly, he was waiting for their wee boy to kick.

"He has times where he kicks like crazy." Gloria said. "Then nothing and then at about midnight he goes into this kicking frenzy."

Arnie had a dreamy smile with a bit of drool when Gloria spoke.

She looked down at him and patted his parting where his spiky blonde hair was split.

"We're calling him Arnie Junior" Gloria said with a sweet smile.

Arnie then kissed Glorias belly and looked back up at her.

"Isn't she the greatest?" his cheeks were red and his eyes a glow. Arnie was definitely captivated by his new wife.
Helga realized she had no reason not to trust him.

"We had a traditional country wedding." Gloria said with another big smile.

Arnie sat up. "Yeah she was already three months gone so ya know we kept it traditional."

Helga sighed. "Good ol country folk and their shot gun weddins." She mocked.

Arnold chuckled.

Arnie and Gloria looked at Helga a little confused.

"Ah never mind." Helga said rolling her eyes.

"Ah Arnold before we go do you think my lovely gloria could have something to eat?"

"Sure." Arnold replied. "What would you like?"

"I have been craving oranges like crazy, I just cannot get enough." She nudged Arnie and the couple both laughed.

"Good thing we live near an orchard huh?" Arnie chuckled.

Helga could not take the bumpkin talk anymore.

"Ah excuse me." She said walking out of the room.

Arnold went to peel some oranges and put them in a bowl when Helga came up behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I want you to tell me what to do tonight." She whispered seductively. "Tell me what you want of me." "Make me do things to you."

Arnold started to sweat as Helga ran her fingers underneath his buttoned shirt, feeling his toned abs and smooth skin.

"Uh..." "Sure thing darling." He managed to say before exploding with lust.

"Just let me get these oranges to uh whats her name?" he was still fixated on Helgas tempting offer.

"Gloria." She said taking a slice of orange and sucking it. Winking at him she held the plate and took it into the living room.

As she walked out. Arnold wiped his forehead and smelt his shirt, his wife's perfume lingered on the fibers of his white shirt.

"hurry up and leave Arnie." He said...

Once gloria had finished her oranges she thanked Helga repeatedly and told Arnold she had the most wonderful time with them.

Thank god they had only been at their place for around an hour. Arnold was getting more and more aroused thinking of his wife who kept winking at him every time he spoke to Arnie or Gloria.

"Well it was nice to see you." "Call us when you're at the sunset arms." Arnold said, waving the couple off.

Once Arnold had locked the door and turned the security system on he went in search for his wife who he assumed would be in the living room, sprawled across the couch in her lingerie begging him to take her now.

"Helga?" "Sweetie?" "Where are you?"

The blonde man headed upstairs and opened his bedroom door to find Helga laying in a pink negligee across the bed, the covers were removed and she was lying on her good side that did not hurt. Her hair was falling past her boobs which stuck out of the lingerie just perfectly. Her skin looked soft and her eyes were alluring.

Arnold instantly threw his clothes off until he was standing there naked. His toned body would always send his wife into a spin but this time it was Helgas turn to show some sexy. She knew she had it, she had shown him many occasions since they were married that she could turn him on like a light easily and it kept their marriage alive and fun.

"The name's Cecile and I am here for your enjoyment Arnold." she flicked her hair with her head and winked at him.

Arnold took a few steps closer and cupped his hands over her pert breasts.

"So Mr Shortman." "How can I assist you tonight?" She said in a seductive tone, her finger was placed in her mouth and she was sucking it.

"Oh I have a few ideas Madame." he whispered leaping onto the bed.

Little did they know that there was someone waiting in the wings, standing on the beach with the sand and salty air surrounding him.

"She is going to pay and I am going to love every minute of it." He growled...

TBC

Woot a little dark a little flirty and a little scary and ominous.

Brainy is not the guy on the beach, I would like to add that while he is a bit psychotic he would never HURT Helga NEVER at least not in my story...
Look out for him though...
