Chapter One: Presents/ Pleasant Surprises
Helga stared in amazement at the beauty of the store, it was perfect. It was filled from shelf to shelf with shimmering crystal sculptures. There were sculptures, as tall as Helga while others were so small that they would easily slip out of the palm of her hand. In the corner, there were rows and rows of books while the rest of the store was filled with breathtaking paintings and other sculptures. Helga walked into the store, slowly and one painting in peculiar caught her eyes.
In the painting, it was raining and it showed two young girls exchanging presents trying to shield each other from the rain with their multi-covered umbrellas. It was so touching that it brought tears to Helga's eyes, it reminded her of her friendship with Phoebe and how they were always there for each other when they needed each other. She smiled for she knew the artist was trying to capture a friendship that was going to end eruptly, Helga could tell for the rain symbolizes an oncoming sadness and the pain both girls would endure their friendship. Helga sighed and knew this painting would be perfect for Phoebe. Before Helga would try to carry the painting over to the cashier and pay for it, she opened her eyes and realized the painting was gone.
Helga's crystal blue eyes scanned the store and the sound of the bell brought her attention to Olga who was beaming at her with a newly wrapped present. "Well, one down Baby-sis, How about your other friend?" Olga murmured as she took the newly wrapped painting from the cashier gently and put it in a giant shopping bag. Helga shook her head, sometimes it was uncanny the way her sister knew her so well. There was no way, she could possibly afford that painting, don't get her wrong? She did have some money but most of it was all ready, used up from buying her own school supplies to replace her old broken ones, let's just say life is harder for Helga and she can't keep money long with her budget.
Helga looked around the store and closed her eyes, trying to find a present that would be perfect, for her beloved. Something that will show Arnold how much she did care for him and would touch him in such a way that'll he never forget her or the gift no matter what fate, bestowed on them. Helga sighed and just when she was about to reach for her locket, A shiny object caught her eye. It seemed to be coming from a dark corner in the store.
Helga walked over cautiously to the dark corner, each step made her uneasy but the bright light seemed too interesting, to ignore. She walked closer, humming a song to herself to keep her occupied as she was engulfed in the darkness when she reached her destination. Helga always had an incredible fear of dark scary places cause anything, can sneak up on you and you never know what can be around any corner like spiders or rats. Helga shivered but she froze once again as she saw the lovely vision. It was a crystal structure covered with diamonds, it was in shaped in a form of a plane with very cute male pilot and football headed woman next to him. There was determination and sadness on their expression, it seemed that every detail of their face and body in that moment was sculpted in. The foot-headed woman was holding something in the palm of her hand which Helga couldn't make out what it was, but by the way the woman was gazing at it, she knew it was special and that cute man was looked back at the wife, with the same expression.
Helga sighed and wondered why this sculpture was so special, why it captivated her so much. Instead of questioning it as usual, Helga carefully lifted the sculpture in her hands and brought it to the cashier, Olga brought it for her but before they wrapped it. Helga whispered something to the cashier. The cashier ran off in the back with the special sculpture in her hand. After a few minutes, the cashier came back and held up the sculpture for Helga to see. Now engraved on the sculpture was: To Arnold, my heart and soul. My only love. I wish you a birthday filled with joy, peace and plenty of laughter. May all your wishes come true on this special day and know always that you can count one me and all your friends whenever, you are feeling blue. Love, Your Secret Admirer. You'll be in my heart forever. This I'll promise you.
Helga smiled and thanked the cashier. The Cashier lady smiled brightly at Helga and wrapped the present in blue wrapping paper as requested. "Good luck!" The young cashier called out with a wink as Helga and Olga left the store hand in hand. About time the young duo left the mall, it was pretty late and Olga drove them home. As soon the door to Pataki's home was opened, both girls raced to the rooms, took a long hot shower, and went to asleep. It was long day and both girls will need the rest for the days to come. *Note: They did lock the door behind them, if any one of you readers were wondering that*
Pleasant Surprises,
Some things happened for a reason. I never really thought that anything good would happen to me, but things seem to be looking up. I found the perfect presents for my bestfriend and my beloved. This day couldn't get any better. There's only one problem now, how I'm I supposed to get this present, to Arnold without him noticing me and how should I dress for the party? I mean I never really liked Rhonda's parties and the last time I made huge scene, at one of her party saying "That I. Helga G. Pataki will never set foot in one of your crummy parties again miss princess. You can enjoy your snobby parties without me from now on!" I was really pissed, for the whole party was a gag. Rhonda just wanted to make a fool outta of me, well Helga don't play that, but I do want to go to the party for Phoebe and Arnold. But how? Oh well, I'll deal with that later but now I'm looking forward to Phoebe coming back tomorrow, we'll have our annual get together and have a blast. Just her and me partying all night long. Crimney, I'm getting way too mushy. Oh well as you can tell, I'm looking forward to more pleasant surprises and Phoebe is one of them. She's coming back early and I'm ecstatic. Plus, I might see my beloved again. I overheard Arnold saying that he and Gerald always go to the movies too when one of them comes back from a trip and I personally know Gerald is coming back from a trip as the exact same time as Phoebe for, Phoebe's family invited Gerald's family along with them on the trip. Okay so, I kind of persuaded Phoebe to invite them for my own purposes, but I thought of her as well. You wouldn't believe how red Phoebe gotten when I suggested Gerald. It so oblivious, that she likes him and she deserves happiness, but it was still so funny. It was one of those Kodak moments. It was priceless. Well, goodnight. Wish me luck!
