Brainy and the spirits will speak in a echo type voice with Brainy only having the eery tone to his so that is why I write it in italics. The translation to what they say from Portuguese is in italics plus underline.

Thanks for the reviews :)

Brainy studied plenty of things in his quest to be with Helga over the years. True he knew about her feelings for Arnold, but he always thought he was better. He loved her since he was 3. Cherished her to the point of his never ending cravings. He knew that most children wouldn't be this obsessed over someone of the opposite sex, but Helga and him were the exception.

She inspired him. He actually loved it when she punched him since it meant physical contact. Since he spotted the annoyed scowl on her face when he snuck up to her. Since the way she expertly punched him without even looking. The way she pouted as she was in the act. What he loved about sneaking up to her was listening to that dreamy way she spoke. How it sounded like she was singing out a melody.

Passing through layers of dirt and wall to reach his destination, Brainy rested himself in a spot he felt the most power was dwelling. Didn't these fools from this culture even feel this? No! They were as blind as the idiots that surrounded Helga for many years. All idiots except for Phoebe. There was some regret in him taking her on prom. He hated knowing that Helga feared losing the one she called her sister. He also regretted in not killing Arnold then too. He knew he had to get Helga away so he did what he thought was best.

He also thought about killing Lila. He wished he did, but the way she casually looked towards him before turning back around made him wonder how truly devious she was. It isn't everyday you see someone with a blonde slung over your shoulder in a prom dress. Come to think about it, he really should of killed Lila simply because she was annoying. A fake. A person who hid her true self underneath piles of sugary sweetness.

Shaking his head to remove the thoughts of that horrid person, Brainy shifted back to his muse. Her purity was taken away last night by Arnold. Helga was reserved solely for him. Hearing voices from beyond had him ignoring them as he thought about his beauty. In spite of her being on display in front of Arnold, Brainy only briefly imagined himself being there kissing every square inch of her.

"He will never love you as much as me." His voice echoed in the chamber. "When I'm through, you'll never remember Arnold again once we are joined."

Extending his arms out, he raised them slowly with his palms extended up and out. Concentrating on what he learned, Brainy began chanting.

"Você não é bem-vindo aqui." Came a very strong voice behind him. You aren't welcome here.

As much as Brainy learned different things he still didn't care to listen to this spirits voice.

The Leader spotted a source dragging into his body prompting him to move easily in front of Brainy. This magic he was using was something even he never quite learned. In truth, it was something that was forbidden to use.

"Está a passar o limiar para a vida futura. Ser ido para onde você pertence." The Leader tried with a far more commanding voice. You are to pass the threshold into the afterlife. Be gone to where you belong.

Brainy already couldn't take this spirit. He was interfering to what he wanted. He couldn't be stopped. He won't be stopped as he continued his chanting till he felt a jolt prompting him to find himself against the wall, landing hard. Brainy's eyes narrowed as he pushed away to study the spirit that was still weak compared to him.

"Ela pertence comigo. Eu vou levar o que pertence a mim mesmo se eu roubar um outro pedaço de outro lá em cima. Você quer isso?" Traveling with Helga all this time helped him hone in on other languages. She belongs with me. I will take what belongs to me even if I steal another piece of another up there. Do you want that?

Taking a step towards the delusional entity, the Leader wasn't afraid of him. "Revivendo-se a viver vai resultar em algo cataclísmico. Ela o vê como um monstro agora, mas o que você revive-se a ser será irreconhecível. Mesmo para si mesmo." Reviving yourself to live will result in something cataclysmic. She views you as a monster now, but what you revive yourself to be will be unrecognizable. Even to yourself.

Brainy laughed at his stupidity. "Moron." He muttered out as he stepped forward.

The Leader continued unhampered. "Ambos são destinados a ficar juntos. Eles foram feitos para ser como um. Você está destinado a passar. Faremos tudo o que pudermos para ajudá-la." They are both destined to be together. They were meant to be as one. You are meant to pass on. We will do all we can to help her.

"Oh we'll see about that." Instantly, Brainy vanished into the ground. He'll have to continue this another time.

Calling the others into the chamber, the Leader had to keep trying to help them out above.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Smelling the scent of coffee, she smiled as she opened her eyes to find Arnold looking adorable with a plate of food in his hand and a mug in the other. Sitting up she kissed him.

"What a way to wake up."

Arnold peered down to find the sheet clinging to life against her bosom. Waking up with her in his arms was the way he always fantasized about. His other thing he wanted to do was to give her breakfast in bed. "I love so many things about you."

Accepting the food she watched him grab his own plate. "Oh really?"

"Really." Coming back to her side, Arnold looked at the way she started to eat. "I also love the way you eat. I always thought it was adorable."

"Well you wouldn't of if you spotted how I ate when I was young." She wanted to finish this meal. "Working today?"

"Yes, but it will be a slightly later schedule while I do some things in here." Coming to kiss her shoulder, Arnold had a hard time leaving. Feeling her shift he moved away slightly to find she cleared her plate before reaching to grab her mug. "Hungry?"

"Extremely." Sipping a few more times she settled it back on the ground before laying down. "I'm very hungry." Moving her sheet down to expose herself, Helga brought her hand up to touch her chest. "What about you?"

Reaching to get his mug to drink it, Arnold settled that and the plate down in order to stand up. Rushing over to the tent flap to tie it, he quickly came back over just removing his clothes as he did it. Standing over her his hand pulled back the sheet more to reveal that magnificent body. "What do you think?"

Giggling, Helga loved the feeling of his skin meeting hers.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Back in Hillwood, Phoebe went into the local bakery to get a large coffee with a few pastries. Normally she was pretty strict with what she put in her body lately. She would lessen up on the goodies to once a week or just continue to eat her far more healthier option of food. Today has been a build up of several months of what was going through her mind. She had been sticking closely to her job with her coming home to an empty apartment on a daily basis. No boyfriend since that one crash and burn of a relationship. The one Helga actually came out of hiding to take pictures of her lying cheating scumbag of a boyfriend. Since then she had been single.

"Hello Phoebe. Isn't an ever so lovely day today?" Lila chirped out.

Phoebe maintained a pleasant facade in front of her in spite of the fact of Lila's see through facade. "Greetings, Lila. It is."

"What will it be?"

"I want a large coffee with a cheese danish, and a eclair." Hearing a giggle from Lila, Phoebe couldn't wait for her two cents.

Heading to the pastries, Lila placed them in a bag before rushing to her coffee. Returning to the counter she rung it up. "I do hope you are sharing this. It is oh so much for such a petite girl."

Seeing the total on the register herself, Phoebe handed her exact change as she grabbed for the bag and coffee. "I have a long day at work."

Lila held such a vacant look to her features as she blinked at Phoebe. "Oh yes. No boyfriend since Gerald has been with Nadine. Also your last boyfriend cheated on you. It is ever so sad."

Ignoring her, Phoebe turned on her heel to leave. She was two seconds out the door when Lila couldn't seem to resist herself.

"I'm oh so certain that if Arnold wasn't so sucked in by Helga, even though she disappeared to never return again, that he would of been mines again. Oh well. Arnold was always so naive about her."

Phoebe turned to face her. "Just let it drop. Are you this sad in your own life to want to keep driving this screw in? Arnold doesn't love you. He never will. I don't know what got in Katrinka's head to set that date up between you and Arnold, but I'm very happy that he left you high and dry. I use to defend you, but now I don't see the point. As for Arnold and Helga, I do know how much they belong together." Taking a sip of her coffee, she turned to leave the bakery.

She refused to give Lila any more thought as she continued down the sidewalk towards her car. Taking another sip she smiled knowing exactly where Helga is right now after she received an email from her. She knew Brainy was still haunting her so she hoped her being reunited with Arnold will do a lot of good.

Over the years she couldn't bring herself to say anything to Arnold about her still in communication with Helga. She only hoped that Helga told him things he needed to hear. She hoped that things will work out for them.

Almost near her car, Phoebe saw Gerald walking down the street towards her. While she has seen him around, Phoebe has avoided him for the most part. Seeing him with Nadine hit a raw spot inside of her. It was the rawness that hurt her most. She couldn't go to anything she was invited to unless it was for the hospital thing alone. She couldn't risk seeing them together.

"Hey Phoebe."

Her heart stopped at the sound of his voice. She felt misery knowing how much she missed him. "Hello Gerald."

Gerald had a feeling she was heading into work with how she was dressed. Professional clothes and her hair done up in a loose bun. Continuing to smile at her, he said the first thing that leapt into his head. "I miss you."

She could of lied, but it was hard to. "I miss you. How are you and Nadine doing?"

"We broke up. She fell in love with Peapod kid and we both knew how I was still in love with you." Gerald watched her mouth open up wide at that before adjusting her glasses in an attempt to distract herself.

"I need to get to work, Gerald." Phoebe didn't know her reaction to this. It felt staged. If he loved her then why didn't he at least call her to see how she was doing?

Gerald watched her pass him to get to the drivers side of her vehicle. "I tell you how I feel and you run away?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

Phoebe put her key in the lock, but didn't turn it. "All this time in not seeing one another. Not speaking and yet after you said that why couldn't you of picked up the phone to call me?"

Gerald was offended. "You could of done the same thing too, Phoebe, but you didn't. Why?"

"Because it hurt to see how quickly you moved on from me. How you immediately went out with Nadine."

"You broke up with me."

"No, Gerald. We came to this conclusion at the same time because of college. Because of our careers we wanted to concentrate on, but the very next day I see you and Nadine holding hands. I thought it was just friendship until later on I spotted you both on a date. I guess you needed to concentrate on her. It hurt, Gerald, and I thought you were one of the last people to hurt me." Opening up her door, Phoebe climbed into her car to head into work.

Gerald stood there watching her vehicle disappear around a corner. His mind raced as he wished Arnold was here so he can easily get to him for some advice, but he was all the way in Brazil. Lifting his phone up, he accessed his own email to email Arnold to call him once he is free to talk.

As for Phoebe, she was parked in the employee lot nibbling on her pastry. Her nerves were shaken simply by the encounter. As she tried to calm herself she heard her phone ringing. Guess Helga felt her nerves all the way in Brazil.

"Hello, Helga."

"Hey. You know I feel you all the way here. What's happening?" Helga sounded surprisingly chipper for once instead of her more disturbed self.

Phoebe contemplated telling her, but even Helga could sniff out the truth. "Lila was a bitch due to me grabbing a large coffee and two pastries."

"Ah! Did you get an eclair? I miss those suckers."

Giggling, Phoebe licked her finger from the remaining remnant of it. "In honor of you I did."

Helga was touched on her end as she watched Arnold speaking to his crew from her end. "I love you for that." Taking a step away from the crew she needed this to be more private. "But that isn't what is bugging you. What is bugging you?"

Frowning, Phoebe sighed. "I ran into Gerald before I headed into work. He said he missed me. He broke it off with Nadine again."

Gerald had a on and off thing with Nadine since they broke it off. "What did you say to him?"

"It hits a raw spot still with me, Helga. I really loved him but our study loads were crazy. We both agreed to break it off because of that so we can concentrate on college." Smiling at a passing doctor, Phoebe continued. "I told him how it felt after we broke it off. How quickly he went out with Nadine. It hurt me to see that. I told him that I guess he needed to concentrate on her."

Helga looked up to see Arnold's concerned face towards her. "I know how you feel. I know you still love him and I know that makes the hurt even worse. Do you believe that you can forgive him in the end?"

"Possibly, but I will need to really be in the mood to talk about this."

"Well you can't put it off for long." Helga smiled at Arnold. "Eventually you have to show your face up and face up to your past. It is better than hiding forever."

Phoebe got the gist of her sage advice. She heard the heavy hinting that was underlying the surface. "Helga, what is going on?"

"A lot. I'm now staying in Arnold's tent because this site has given Brainy the ability to be a lot more solid."

She blinked in disbelief. "So he isn't just in your head. Is that what you are telling me?"

"That's what I'm saying. Arnold has seen him. He's already possessed one crew member and did horrible things with another crew member. No one has blamed me for this and agreed on their own to help out." Turning away, her eyes misted over. "Phoebe, I believe this is where it is all supposed to go down. I'm going to rid him away from me for good."

Phoebe hadn't heard this strength from her friend in such a long time that it gave her hope. "And after that, then what?"

"I'm staying with Arnold. He said he loves me. He loves me, Pheebs. I know we can make both our professional lives work. I have hope finally for the future." Wiping a stray tear away from her, Helga sighed. "I'm finally facing it so it is time for my best friend to do the same."

Feeling actually empowered by that, Phoebe began to open her door up. "I will. Helga I need to head into work. I need to tell you something that I'm proud of you right now. Proud that you want to take your life back. I want you not only to be careful of him if he is that dangerous, but also make him disappear so you can have a full life with the man of your dreams."

"I love you, Pheebs."

"I love you too, Helga. Sisters to the end."

Helga smiled at their typical way of saying good bye. "Sisters to the end." Hanging up, Helga turned to Arnold to give him a kiss. "I'm alright. Phoebe ran into Gerald today."

"Meaning I'll be hearing from him soon." Wrapping an arm around her, Arnold kissed her again before they ended up really dirty once more. "Will my love join me down there now?"

Almost climaxing from him saying that, Helga nodded her head. "Will Amy be with us down there?"

"Yep and she wants to fight back. We have a lot of angry people here." Spotting the anxiety written all over her face, Arnold had to assure her. "They are angry at Brainy. We are protective over one another so since they accepted you, they will fight with you."

Hugging him, Helga whispered in his ear. "I'm sick of crying, but I am loving this kinship."

"My love deserves the best." Kissing her once more he pulled away. "Want to play in the dirt?"

"Mmmmmmm. Dirt is fun, but not as much as making sandcastles." Winking at him, Helga went to grab her equipment.

Arnold watched her skip off. Watched how Amy came up to help her out. Watched how the others greeted her again. This was his future wife right now. Gorgeous in any setting.

Don't worry but Gerald did make a mistake but he isn't really a bad guy. I try to make this as close to real life as possible. Also the idea of Gerald and Nadine is from what I got from Diamonddiva's first story. Gerald seems natural enough to float over to another smart girl.
