Five of you guessed Phoebe, either in the reviews or by PM. You're very intelligent! Some said Brainy and Mr. Smith. Close.

Kryten: We don't know if bizarro-Helga was actually hit, and if Helga survived once, bizarro-Helga can, too. Still, you have to admire Stinky's optimism.

JayDogg187: Yes, she had enough stress and this was the last straw. Unwanted guest? Well, if she did go along, we don't know if she's right there with her. She might have ended up somewhere else, and somewhen else too. And yes, it was VERY cathartic, and for me, too, lol. We'll see more of Stinky in the next chapter.

acosta perez jose ramiro: The last straw for bizarro-Olga was the crowbar whack, but I think anyone would call any child a brat if they broke some teeth with a crowbar. And the others gave good guesses, too.

Inudaughter Returns: There are a few more to go, don't worry. Glad you liked the climax.

Pistal9189: Yes, you guessed correctly! And we'll see in a bit if she made it or not. And given that she had a "normal" morning when she was three, I doubt it.

DeepVoice'06: 1. Glad you liked it. 2. Yes, she's lucky. 3. No, because Arnold wasn't taken with her. 4. Let's hope so, they need each other after all. 5. Let's hope she does. 6. We'll see. 7. We'll see.

So what DID Helga write to Helga?

1111 – FROM SELF TO SELF

Dear Helga,

It's me, the "other" Helga, or your "other" self, if you will, from the "other" universe you might have been in for the past three months. I hope this letter reaches you without any problems.

I'm not sure if I'm in "your" universe, or if you are in "mine", or maybe I'm in your head, or maybe you're in my head…and I don't know whether to call you my sister, my clone, my other self from that universe…crimeny! It's all very confusing, isn't it?

Well, I hope that your experience in "my" universe went a lot better than mine did. And I hope that what I did to get us both home didn't hurt you too much or leave you in a coma again. Or maybe YOU did something over there and we got switched back thanks to you. If you did, then thank you so much! You succeeded where I failed! Say, did Phoebe help you? I bet your jaw dropped to the ground when you found you two were still the best of friends AND that she offered to help you—for free—right? I wouldn't doubt that if she helped you, she figured out how to get you home in one hour, maybe one day, tops.

Anyway, I bet you were also quite surprised when Arnold declared his undying love to you…well…I'm not sure at what point in my timeline you got sent to, so you might have also been very surprised when Arnold suggested…um…stuff. You see, we've been kinda together for a while, at least from my point of view, ever since we came back from San—ever since we rescued his parents in Central America. Crazy, isn't it?

If he kissed you, then he probably realised right there and then that you weren't me. And how do I know that? Well, first, if you don't know this by now, then know that Stinky—well, Steven—"your" Steven—loves you very much.

It also looks like "your" Bob and Miriam are MUCH worse than "mine". They had no right to give up on you the way they did! But then again, I suppose they had the time, ability, and love to raise only one kid, and they left you high and dry. Still, fight for your freedom. Fight the courts and try to get into foster care with Steven's family. Even those bullies' families are a better option than staying with Olga! Well, they're still bullies where I come from, as you might have seen, but here they're very nice boys.

I really wish I could talk to you face to face and give you a big hug; you deserve it, after all.

Cherish Steven's hugs and kisses and affections, and whatever more he might want to give you. Hey, those Mr. Nutty candy bars and all that lemon pudding were worth it, weren't they?

As for me and "my" Arnold, the trip to Central America was worth it. I don't know if you ever fell for the Arnold in "your" world, but here, he's happy with Ruth, and they're probably skinny dipping together as we speak like the good and stereotypical country folk they decided to become, ha-ha.

You might have noticed that "my" Steven doesn't have an eye on me anymore—well, if you arrived at the "right" moment, that is. From my point-of-view, he had two crushes already, but nothing became of those. Don't worry about him, though. I'm sure he'll find someone soon.

As for you, just stick with your man here. He did many things to help bring you back, and from what I saw, he definitely loves you, and barring a disaster, I have the feeling that you two are going to stay together for a long time to come.

Anyway, the reason why I know Arnold would know you weren't me if he kissed you is that Steven kissed me thinking I was you, and that's when he realised I WASN'T you. Now, I can't compare apples to oranges, so I won't say who's the better kisser. All I know is that Steven is very passionate, and he loves you with everything he has. And I'll say it again: cherish him, because he might be your only rock here. He waited three months for you to wake up, and he was overjoyed when he thought you did, and if you required a second hospital stay—unfortunately thanks to me—then I'm sure he waited for you there, too. He…he truly loves you, Helga, and I know you love him just as much.

By the way, why were you crossing the street without looking both ways? Was it to get Steven jealous, or was it to get revenge on Arnold, or did you still have amnesia, or what? Crimeny, I wish I could know.

You have a tough time ahead of you, one that will involve courts, judges, hearings, lawyers, social workers, psychologists, and what's left of your family. But you're a Pataki, and we Patakis never give up. Or, at least we don't in "my" universe, heh. Still, keep Steven and all your friends by your side, and don't be afraid to let them help you, including the Shortmans (Arnold's parents are social workers too, and they're the nicest people on this planet, so their help might give you an advantage in your legal battle ahead). And once everything is settled, I know you will end up in the best family for you. You WILL make it, because I know I would have made it too.

Hang in there, and never give up.

Love,

Helga

P.S.:

I hope that here you can sue Bob and Miriam for parental malpractice and maybe criminal neglect, as well as abandonment. If you can, go for it, and don't let them get away with what they did to you.
