Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold. But i'm so happy that it was created. Who else misses the 90s?

CHAPTER 17: Meant to be?

"So after all that you decided not to be a couple?" Phoebe asked her best friend. It had been two week since Thanksgiving and therefore the first week in December.

"No we decided to take it slow and see where life takes us." She said well picking up the bouquet of flowers for her sister.

"Helga, I am proud of you but I feel like Arnold and you have waited so long to be together. Are you still scared?" Phoebe asked her best friend.

"WHERE ARE MY FLOWERS." Olga yelled from behind the door.

"Right now, all I am scared about is Olga going full on bridezilla and biting someone's head off. Take you seat Phoebe this wedding should be starting soon." Phoebe nodded and started to turned away. "Pheebs if it doesn't send an amber alert out because I think we will be short a bride."

Is everyone ready?"

"Yes Olga everyone is ready and waiting for you." Helga said well rolling her eyes, this was the tenth time her sister asked the same question.

"Are all the flowers, exactly where they are supposed to be?"

"Yes."

"All the guest are here?"

"Yes."

"Oh and the groomsmen are they ready?"

"YES!"

"Are you ladies ready?"

"Yes, Olga we are ever so ready. Like Helga has been saying for the past twenty minutes. Everything is ever so perfect." Lila said through a tight smile.

Helga could not help but snicker, even Lila was losing her patiences. "Do I tell them you are ready yet Olga"

"Is everyone ready?" Olga asked again.

"YES!" Lila and Helga said unison.

After what seemed like an endless amount of questions. Helga and Lila finally got Olga down the aisle.

The two newly weds made there way inside the lavishly decorated reception hall to greet their guest.

It was decorated with light cream pink ribbon and soft off white pearls. Like Helga said it screamed Olga.

"I am so happy that we got her down the aisle. She was just an ever so jumble of nerves." Lila said to Helga as they both observed the couple dancing from their spot by the bar.

"Me too, it was really touch and go at one point." Helga smiled. "But it will work out for them."

"I think so too." Lila smiled.

"Miss Lila I reckon you look mighty pretty in that dress." Stinky said well looking at his girlfriend. Lila was wearing a cream color strapless dress with a feather and tool bottom that was cut in layers. As were all the other bridesmaids except the maid of horror of course.

She giggled, "Why thank you. You look ever so handsome yourself."

Stinky was wearing a black tux with a white shirt and a cream pocket square that matched Lila's dressed. Helga wondered if the couple in front of her was always this corny or if they only did it in front of others. Something told her however, that they were always like this.

"Miss Helga your dress looks mighty nice also." Stinky said with his usual country draw.

Helga was wearing a long light pink-cream one shoulder dress. That had a little of the feather design on the shoulder. The bottom of the dress was cut into elegant layers that looked similar to Lila's dress however, much more graceful.

Helga smiled, "Thanks Stinky."

Stinky turned back to his girlfriend, "May I have this dance?"

Lila giggled and extended her arm and the two made there way to the dance floor.

Helga could not help but smile at her two friends. Those two are meant for each other, she thought.

"Hey."

Helga turned to face Sid. "Hey."

"I just wanted to say that I know I had my reservations before but I think you should be with Arnold."

Helga raised her eyebrows.

"I think I finally got that you two are meant for each other." He said with a small smile.

"Um thanks Sid, I am sure you will find someone." Helga said well shifting her feet uncomfortably.

"I already did." Sid said with a big smile as he gestured to a brunette that was waving at him. "I have to go, but tell your sister that I really enjoyed her wedding."

Helga smiled.

"Bonjour Helga."

"Louis? I did not expect to see you here." She smiled and hugged the french young man.

"Well Arnold my man, I hope you have not given up on your girl." Gerald said.

"Of course not, I think I am going to ask her today."

"Ask her?"

"You know to be my girlfriend, again."

"And how are you going to do that?"

"Well first I am going to ask her to dance. I already told the DJ to play a tango for us. I remember how well we danced together last time."

"Mmhhhhh and then what?" Gerald asked.

"I am going to take her outside to the gazebo where the Christmas lights are and ask her."

"Your a bold kid Arnold." Gerald says well spotting Phoebe talking to Rhonda just as a slow song came on."Well if you excuse me man there is a young lady I have to ask to dance."

Arnold watches his best friend approach his girlfriend and can't help but smile. Those two are meant for each other he thought to himself.

"You proved yourself." A deep voice said behind him.

Arnold turns around to see the young blonde boy that seems to be following him.

"It's you! Are you finally going to tell me who you are?" Arnold demanded.

"You know who I am. I am just older now." The young man wheezed. "Sorry, they changed my medication and I am not used to it yet."

Arnold's eyes widen. "Briany! You have been the one following me around and telling me thing about Helga? But why?"

"I wanted to make sure you weren't going to hurt her again."

Arnold smiled, "So Brainy, do I have your blessing?"

"I think you have come a long way Arnold but you still have a lot to learn about Helga."

Arnold looked at him confused, "Like what?"

"Like what happened in Paris."

"What happened in Paris?" Arnold asked

Brainy shook his head, "Didn't you learn anything. Just ask her yourself or risk losing her to another." Brainy said well guestering towards Helga and Louis talking.

Arnold turned to face the direction in which he was pointing. "Who is that?" When Brainy did not respond he turned around only to realize that Brainly was gone.

How does he do that Arnold wodered. He quickly shock that out of his head and decided to walk over to Helga and the young man, the song that was playing was going to end soon and the next one was the tango he requested.

Helga giggled. "You always knew what to say."

"It was a great summer, you can not deny that Helga." Louis responded with his perfect French accent, as he smiled at the blonde girl.

"It was." Helga agreed.

"You must come and visit me again." Louis said with a flirtatious smile.

"Excuse me, Helga may I talk to you. "Arnold asked.

Helga smiled at seeing Arnold. "Yes of course." She smiles to Louis whom excuses himself.

"Who was that?" Arnold asked.

"An old friend."

"Friend? From Paris, I don't think you told me about him."

Helga was a little stunned by what he was implying however she couldn't help but give a smug smile. "There is a lot that I have not told you about Paris."

"Well enlighten me then?"

"How come it must always be so difficult with us. Why can't we just me simple and just be well meant to be like everyone else." Helga said in a somber tone.

Arnold understood what she was implying and did not want his intentions to get misunderstood again. "Whenever you want to tell me I am here to listen."

Helga was taken aback by his comment and looked out at the dance floor to see Phoebe and Gerald dancing. Arnold looked at what she was looking at and then turn back to face her.

"How do you think they do it? How do those other couples seem to waltzes through life?' Helga said.

With that the song changed and Helga's eyes met Arnolds'.

"Well that easy, you and me we're doing a tango." Arnold smiled and extended his hand to Helga.

Helga took it and the two blondes made their way to the dance floor.

THE END!

Author Notes:

I could thought I posted this chapter months ago so forgive me. So guys what did you think? Not so much a happy ending more of an ambiguous one. As far as what happen to Helga in Paris, I thought that was better left unsaid. After all a part of why we like Helga's transformation is because of everything she went through and learned. Not having a piece of the puzzle just felt more fitting to this story. Like always PLEASE REVIEW!
