Here's the next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!


Later that night, all four kids somehow involved in this little love square, Helga and Curly knowing about it, and Arnold and Rhonda not realizing it, were getting ready for bed as different thoughts ran through their minds.


Over at Rhonda's place, as she was getting ready for bed, she kept thinking back to the kiss that both she and Arnold shared in that moment.

"I can hardly believe it..." She thought to herself. "We actually both initiated a kiss between the lips... I honestly didn't expect this until... well, much later, if we got that far along."

Rhonda paused as she laid down on the bed. That kiss felt like the right thing, but at the same time, she was a little nervous. Why did she feel that way?

Rhonda looked up at the ceiling for a bit as she turned off the light. If her feelings for Arnold weren't intensified before, they were starting to grow now.

Rhonda couldn't help but give a small smile. She still can't believe that she and Arnold shared a kiss amongst themselves. Sure, Arnold may have had his fair share of kisses before... she certainly knew he forcefully shared one with Helga for the school play of Romeo and Juliet... and she didn't know of any other times that Arnold may have been kissed on the lips...

Then she thought of the times she was kissed on the lips... by Curly. Rhonda shuddered. How Curly manages to be annoying and sneak around in her thoughts, she would never know. Curly forcefully grabbing Rhonda, saying his infamous lines to 'give daddy some sugar'... she still shuddered, thinking about those horrible kisses... her mind was still clear on the time Curly blackmailed her to be HIS girlfriend for the week...

Which, come to think of it, Rhonda and Arnold were doing something similar... but they were both willing to give it a try after talking about it. Unlike that annoyance Curly...

Rhonda frowned. Why was she thinking about Curly at this hour? She hated him. Everybody at PS 118 knew THAT.

She shook all thoughts of Curly out of her brain to focus on Arnold... she smiled a bit as she lifted her eyes down to sleep, her dreams overtaking her...


Over at the boarding house, up in Arnold's room, as Arnold just got ready for bed, Arnold sat down at his desk as he was rolling a marble around, his mind still on the kiss he and Rhonda shared.

"Oh Rhonda..." Arnold sighed. "She is a very beautiful girl... a nice, pretty girl... how have I never noticed her charm before?"

Arnold then got up from his desk and laid down on his bed, smiling about the kiss. He felt like it was the best thing in the world... but, somewhere deep inside him, he felt worried.

As Arnold turned off the light, he looked up at the ceiling, wondering how his relationship with Rhonda would work out. He remembered something similar happening when Rhonda was Curly's girlfriend for a week... but even then, he didn't know the FULL story. Curly was pretty secretive that way, but he never asked.

Arnold smiled, thinking about the kiss once again. He remembered the sweet kisses he had before, with Lila, maybe one of the sixth graders, he didn't remember if he gave one to the fake pen pal known as Cecile, who he could never figure out who she really was... and...

Arnold raised an eyebrow as he was now thinking about the forced kisses he was given... by none other than Helga G. Pataki, the girl who would often bully him. Even though Helga does bully him on occasion, Arnold always thought that she was a complete enigma. She had her own agenda, sure, she would often make his life a living hell... but at the same time... Arnold frowned as he thought about the times Helga forcefully put her lips on Arnold's...

The school play. The FTI building incident when Arnold figured out Helga was Deep Voice. The one summer at the beach... and even that 'heat of the moment' confessed love, which took him by surprise. Arnold couldn't help but wonder...

Arnold frowned. How did his mind wander right into the mystery of Helga G. Pataki. She hated Arnold, and everybody knew it too. But, still, just to know the mystery of Helga...

Arnold shook his head of all thoughts of Helga so that he could go back to focusing on Rhonda's beauty... he gave a lovesick smile as sleep overtook him...


Over at the Pataki household, Helga was over in her Arnold shrine in the closet, ready for bed, as she was trying to write another love poem whilst thinking about Arnold... but she was having difficulty.

"I can't focus!" Helga growled. "Every time I try to think up something, PRINCESS pops into my mind!"

Helga groaned as she decided to put up the dartboard that she had acquired a few days after accidentally starting the whole 'Arnold Loves Lila' scenario. She would usually have a picture of Lila as the target she would try to hit with the darts, but ever since she heard that Arnold didn't like her like her anymore, thanks to word from Phoebe, she took down the photo of Lila. But now she felt the need to hang RHONDA'S picture up on the bullseye now. And hang a picture, she did.

Helga growled as she threw darts over to the dartboard, saying multiple things. "This is for crushing me! This is for stealing Arnold! This is for admitting smugly you kissed him on the cheek!"

Helga's eyes narrowed as she looked at Rhonda's face on the dartboard, ready to take aim toward the eye in the picture. "And THIS... oh this..."


"...THIS... is for the kiss you planted on MY Rhonda!" Curly growled as he was throwing darts at Arnold's photo. Curly was similarily upset.

Curly sighed as he looked up at the ceiling, still in shock about the kiss that happened between his beloved and that football head! He just couldn't believe it! All his hard work, of him trying to impress Rhonda... all dashed because both of them happen to have a crush on each other! And if Arnold didn't have it before... he certainly did NOW!

Curly sighed as he looked up. Some people would say he was mainly obsessed with Rhonda, kissing her against her will and being amourous towards her was crazy and stupid. Most people would think Curly does that randomly for attention... but it wasn't it at all, for Curly.

Curly didn't KNOW when the crush on Rhonda started. Maybe it was from when Rhonda had glasses for a short time. Curly thought to himself that Rhonda didn't really look too bad in glasses, that she was just letting her emotions do the talking for her, refusing to believe she didn't look good in glasses. Curly knew she eventually got contacts, but he still thought she looked better in glasses.

Anyway, ever since then, Curly wanted to get to know Rhonda, wanted to get attached to her, but he knew someone like her would never approve of him. So he did what he did best... be random and crazy. And when Rhonda had her eyes on Sid and Harold for a short period of time, Curly became jealous as he tried to get rid of his competition as best as he could, which were met with good results.

Now, with Arnold being Rhonda's new boyfriend, Curly was still jealous. This was EXACTLY what he did with Rhonda, be boyfriend and girlfriend for a week! Okay, maybe he blackmailed her into being boyfriend and girlfriend, but it was the best for him! But to think, Rhonda would actually do it WILLINGLY... WITH THAT FOOTBALL HEAD! He just couldn't wrap his mind around it.

Well, now that he and Helga are teaming up... maybe it'll be better... he knew one thing... he and Helga had to meet up and discuss future plans with each other now... seeing as how they shared a similar hatred for the relationship...

He laid down on his bed as he tried to go to sleep...


Helga sighed as she was now trying to sleep, knowing full well that meeting with Curly... with HER being in charge, of course... will be the best thought out plan she could have done... she now knew that she and Curly share a similar hatred for the relationship between Arnold and Rhonda...

Helga laughed a bit as she fell asleep. She felt pretty good, that much was for sure.
