Helga got to Arnold's house and was bombarded with questions.
"Can you help me?"
"Can you give me some advice?"
"Can you do this for me?"
"Can I have some money?"
It was all really annoying.
"Please everyone...I am really tired and just need to rest. Can I please have some peace for one night?" 'Arnold' asked.
"Sorry Arnold...we'll leave you alone," Ernie said with a guilty expression as he was about to turn away. Oscar on the other hand was still going on.
"But Arnold, I-ow! What was that for Ernie?" Oscar asked as he looked at Ernie's elbow right next to his ribs, where he had hit him.
"Leave the kid alone and come on," Ernie said, ushering him out of the hall and to his apartment.
Helga rolled her eyes and went to lay down in Arnold's bedroom.
"How does he do it?" Helga asked herself. She then closed her eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Arnold was left alone and sad. He felt so bad that Helga had to endure such things from her own flesh and blood. He could barely sleep with these thought going through his mind.
It wasn't surprising that he had bad dreams of her getting abused that night. He woke up countless times that night.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The routine was the same for the two switched children. When they got to school, they went to Mr. Simmons' desk to get their work from yesterday. Wen they went back to their assigned desks, their est friends came to them.
"Hi Helga, I was wondering if you're feeling better...
"Hi Arnold, I was wondering if you wanted to...
"Have a sleepover tonight?" The two children asked their switched best friends. Arnold and Helga nearly fell over in their chairs.
"You want me to sleep over at...your...house...all night?" 'Arnold' asked.
"Yeah...if you're up to it of course...though you seem pretty fine today. Besides...you owe me from bailing on me so much this week. What's that all about anyway?" Gerald said to 'Arnold.'
"I guess you have a point..." 'Arnold' said with a stutter of nervousness. Helga did not want to spend the night with a boy...especially this boy.
"I miss hanging out with you Helga," Phoebe said with a pout plastered on her face. Arnold felt bad for Phoebe, knowing that Helga and her relationship was as tight as his and Gerald's. How could he refuse something like that?
He couldn't.
"I would love to Phoebe," 'Helga' said to Phoebe. Phoebe giggled happily. She gave who she believed to be her best friend, a hug.
"I guess we could do that, considering I have been kind of bailing on you this week. I'm sorry for that by the way. I would love to sleepover tonight Gerald," 'Arnold' said to Gerald. Gerald smiled and stayed cool, though he was very happy to spend some friendly quality time with who he believed to be his best friend.
The two children hugged their loves best friends awkwardly, not wanting tonight to come any time soon.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
