And I just really like writing this story and I don't want people waiting long for another installment, and I kinda have fine tuned in how get my stories done.
And to RealGhostbuster1984if your reading, please be patient, something will happen soon enough.
Aswell I would like to thank the rest of you for reading, andI hope your enjoying the story. Now on with the story. (N/A: Oh before I forget, the song featured in this chapter is Like Wow by Leslie Carter from the Shrek soundtrack. I felt that it fits the situation perfectly)
Hey Arnold
"A picture's worth a thousand words"
Chapter 26
The party continued on as people talked to each other, played board games, and Phil dealt in a card game with Chuckie, Arnold, Gerald, Dil, Sid, and Stinky. To make the game semi-interesting, they played with chips that that represented fake money. Each player started with 500 never dollars in chips. "Man I'm down to 50 never dollars." Sid complained. "Lighten up Sid, you can still make it." Said Stinky trying to reassure his friend. "That's easy for you to say your up 100 never dollars." Gerald interrupts. "Can we get back to that game?" This time Stinky dealt the cards and out of nowhere, he put on his visor that he wears when he plays cards. "Okay fellas, 7 card stud, and deuces wild." He said as he dealt out the cards, as everyone took there cards Sid looked at his and sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be a good game.
Then there was a sound of a knife tapping on glass, and Helga turned down the music on the radio. " Arnold," she said over the crowd getting his attention from the poker game he was at. "I want to dedicate this song as a way to express my feelings to toward you." Arnold smiled and Helga returned the smile before turning to the radio to switch to the song she had picked out. She had to put in the CD with the song she wanted and in a moment, it was loaded and started to play. The radio was part of a karaoke player and she picked up the mic ready to sing.
Everything looks nice,
Staring in your eyes
Everything feels right,
What's left is ah out of sight
What's a girl to do
I'm feeling you, you're on my mind
I wanna be with you
'Cause when you're standing next to me
It's like wow
And now your kisses to seem to set me free
It's like wow
And when we touch it's such a rush
I can't get enough
It's like it's like
Arnold sat there admiring the voice that Helga had, he knew that she had a good singing voice, when she was in the musical "Man of La Mancha" when they each took acting. She played the part of Aldonza (aka: Dulcinea), and Arnold was lucky to get the part of the lead role Don Quixote de La Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes, and Alonso Quijana (he played a character who played a character, who played a character.)
Ooh, hey, what?
It's like wow! (4)
Should I hesitate when it feels this great?
Don't wanna make a big mistake
Don't wanna make you
Think I'm playing games
I'm just trying to say
I wanna be with you
'Cause when you're
Standing next to me
It's like wow
And now
During the song, Helga walked over to where Arnold was sitting; thankfully, they had a wireless mic. She stood over him and sang to him directly as those singers do in lounges when there is somebody playing a piano, and the woman would be wearing a shiny red dress and sing to all the guys. Except here, she was singing to only one guy, the guy she loved and adored. Then she came in close to him to sing a section of the song.
Your kisses seem to set me free
It's like wow
And when we touch
It's such a rush
I can't get enough
It's like
It's like
Ooh, hey, what?
It's like wow! (4)
Then she pulled Arnold lightly out of his chair and led him to a clearing where they could dance together. Helga managed to hold that mic and slow dance with Arnold. Arnold put one hand on her waist and held her hand that didn't have the mic and they danced together looking into each other's eyes as Helga continued to sing to him.
Fascinated by your love,
You know it's all I'm thinking of
Never waited long enough
My mind and heart are all mixed up
Feeling higher than a cloud
All my senses are like wow
Ooh hey, what?
It's like wow!
(Spoken:)
You know it's all I'm thinking of
It's like, it's like
Ooh, hey, what?
It's like wow! (4)
Then as they danced Helga put the mic down and held onto Arnold and let the song finish on it's own as she was lost in his eyes and smile. "I love you Helga." "Thank you." He looked at her curiously, and she whispered to him. "They say that it's easy to say, 'I love you,' to someone, but it's more meaningful to thank someone for loving you." Arnold just smiled at her then spoke up. "In that case Helga, thank you for loving me." He said softly so that only she could hear him. They stayed like that for a while longer, and as they stood there Chuckie walked up to Angelica and tapped her on the shoulder and whispered into her ear. "Angie, they're going to break our record." She smiles devilishly to him. "I guess will just have to try for longer won't we?" Chuckie smiled and gave her a small kiss, she looked at him. "That's it?" He shrugged. "Just saving up for later." Angelica smiled and gave him a small kiss in return.
Then Arnold slowly kissed Helga and she returned it ten fold, everyone just went silent as they kissed. A minute passed and Gerald was wondering when they were going to have to come up for air. But Arnold had been captain of the swim team their senior year and on top of that they were in drama were they learned breathing exercises for singing for long periods of time. Just when everyone thought that became stuck they pulled away from each other, but still holding on to each other. Phoebe looked at her stop watch that was a feature on her cell phone and went wide eyed at the time one it, a two and half minutes kiss time, she noted to herself to tell Helga later. Shortly after Gerald turned the music back on and the party resumed and Helga and Arnold finally pulled apart while looking into each other's eyes.
So what did you think of this chapter? you did? wow,
