Ahhh yes Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat DO NOT own HEY ARNOLD!

Helga walked away from the table, and sat down at an empty one.

Helga--Oh Criminey!! How the heck did I get myself into THIS one!!? How am I supposed to help Arnold find someone who is ME without ACTUALLY letting him KNOW my deepest most darkest secret? Sheesh, this is confusing!


Soon Phoebe sees Helga at the table and sits down next to her.

~Helga~ This requires professional help!!

Helga--Hey Phoebes, how's it goin'?

Phoebe--Hi Helga. oh, nothing much...

Helga--yeah, yeah, I need to, umm, ask you something.

Phoebe--What is it Helga?

Helga--Well, my friend, she has a problem.

Phoebe--What kind of problem?

Helga--Criminey! What is it about today!?? Oops, sorry Phoebes. Anyway, umm, see she told this guy, that she would, well, help her find this girl that this guy likes. And well, it was her in disguise. The only problem is that she cant tell him that she is truly, deeply, absolutely, positively, crazy for him!

Phoebe--Oh, I see. Well, why doesn't your friend just come out and say what she feels?

Helga--That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard! No Phoebe I'm- I mean my friend isn't going to tell Arn- I mean this guy that she is crazy for him!!!

Phoebe--How crazy, exactly?


Helga paused for a minute. Then closed her eyes and started to speak. As she spoke her voice became higher and higher.

Helga--She's absolutely, deeply, positively, without a doubt, wild, crazy, over the moon, loopty loop, whaa whaa toot, IN LOVE WITH THE BOY!! She wants to know his every secret, his every wish! She wants to have a fabulous life traveling the world with him! Coffee in Paris, sailboats, roses the whole nine yards!! She wants a perfume named after them, uh, which I cant tell!!! She wants him to be there for her whenever she needs him! And whenever she doesn't! She wants to be able to walk into a room filled with starved rabid rats and yet full of peace, only because he's right there beside him!!! She--


Helga realizes that she is now standing on the table, waving her hands like a manic. The whole cafeteria is quiet and starring at her, including Arnold. She suddenly turns red with embarrassment. She wants to run out of there like the force of hurricane wind. But instead she quickly snaps out of it. She clenches her fist into a tight ball, and places them to her sides. Her face posing into a scowl.

Helga--WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!!!!


The kids quickly stop looking at her and turned back to their food. Not wanting to face the wrath of Helga G. Pataki.

Helga--Well, now that that's over with.


Helga sits back down in her seat.

Helga--That's how much, Phoebe. THAT much.


The school bell rings. Arnold quickly tells Gerald that he cant hang with him today, because he has to catch up with Helga to go find Cecile. They quickly "thumb shake" and Arnold rushes over to Helga. Helga is simply trying to run away, but it's too late.....

Arnold --Helga!! Helga, wait up!!!

~Helga~ Oh, Criminey!

Arnold--Ready to look?

Helga--Yeah, yeah, football head! Lets go look for this girl you like so much. First you have to describe her to me.

Arnold--Ok, well, she has long blonde hair, and some of it hangs over her eyes. She's really pretty. And charming.

Helga--Pretty?

Arnold--*yeah....*

Helga--You really think she's pretty??

Arnold--YES! I just said that.

Helga snapped back. Arnold was getting a little irritated. So, she left it alone, but she was completely flattered.

Helga--Ok, football head, lets see. humm, Whats the evidence that you're not putting me on a wild goose chase?


Arnold went through his backpack and pulled out a little red shoe. He handed it to Helga. Helga studied the all-to-familiar shoe.

Helga--Ok, last question! Where did you two last see each other?

Arnold--At Chez Paree.

Helga--Oh, the fancy French joint that got us, including Phoebe, and Gerald, into big trouble. Yeah, I remember it.

Arnold--Why do you want to know anyway? It's been a week!!!

Helga--HEY! This is the master! Don't question me you little winged haired spit wad!

Arnold--Sheesh! Ok, Helga.

Helga--Humm, lets go to this place. Something MIGHT turn up.

Stay tuned for part 3!!!
