Later on in the day, Arnold And Rhonda were at the park as Arnold had an arm over her as they were walking along, giving each other a kiss on one another's lips.

"I love you." Arnold kissed her.

"Aww, I love you too." Rhonda kissed him.

"I love you more." Arnold kissed her back.

Rhonda giggled. "No, I love you more!" She kissed him once more.

As the two kept giving each other kisses, Arnold soon asked. "Hey Rhonda, now that we know it wasn't me who wrote that writing, who could've?"

Rhonda then turned his face towards her. "Arnold doll, that's a question for another time.." She cupped his face. "Right now, all that matters here is you, and me sweetie." Rhonda then started to kiss Arnold. Arnold returned the kiss and that question quickly got off his mind.

As they kissed, a certain blonde pig-tailed girl was walking by writing her usual love poems when she saw something she didn't want to see.

"What in the… Is that?! Arnold?! And what's he doing with Princess!? And… are they.. kissing?! When did this even happen! Did they become.. an item or am I goin' nuts?!" Helga stared at the new couple for a few seconds. As much as she wanted to break the two up, she had to keep silent, but she had a small idea to embarrass the two.

"That'll embarrass the two!" She cackled as she walked away.

Arnold and Rhonda soon separated from the kiss as Rhonda soon looked at her nails. "Arnold, could you help me out with something here?" Rhonda asked. "Anything for you, my Princess." Arnold smiled. Rhonda smiled as she gave a quick kiss on his cheek. "Say Arnold, I've been having some trouble picking out a color for my nails for the past few days, and I wanted to know if you had a color suggestion."

Arnold thought for a moment. "Hmm. You know, you could go for red, since it'll also match the color of your sweater. For the most part since you're wearing a crimson red right now." Arnold held her hand as he kissed it. "Arnold, you're so sweet! But how'd you know I have a crimson red sweater on?" Rhonda asked, surprised.

"Let's just say.. not only have I had my eye on you, but I also had a thing for you." Arnold then got close to her as he then kissed her.

After they separated, Rhonda was amazed at how sweet Arnold was to her. "Arnold, your the only one who can tell the difference between the colors of my sweaters! Nobody has ever even mentioned that to me.. Arnold, you're extremely special to me!" Rhonda then hugged him as she kissed his face a few times.

"Someone's in a kissing mood today." Arnold smirked. Rhonda could only smirk back. "You know… I feel like there hasn't been enough kisses between you and me, how about one more for your Princess." Rhonda wrapped her arms around his neck.

Arnold then leaned in close, making her blush. "Rhonda my Princess, I'll give you more than just one." Arnold pressed his lips onto hers.

After a few seconds, the two stared lovingly at each other for a brief moment as Arnold soon started. "Have I told you how much I love you?"

Rhonda could only giggle. "Maybe… But I wanna hear more, after all, you spoil me, doll." Rhonda kissed his noses and then his lips. Arnold nuzzled his nose against hers as he gave her another kiss.

The two then started walking to Arnold's place to tell his parents that they are a couple now.

Later, as the two were at his place, they couldn't even separate from each other as they were arm-in-arm.

"Ready?" Arnold looked at her. "Always when you are." She smiled at him. He couldn't help but smile back as he gave her a brief kiss.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home! And I brought someone special!" The two walked in to see his parents in the living room rather anxious.

"Ah, Shortman! There you are! So how'd it go?" His Grandpa asked. "Well, you'd be surprised actually." Arnold smiled as he looked over at his new girlfriend. Rhonda only giggled as she kissed his cheek.

"Woah hang on here. Arnold, are you trying to say…" Stella started. "That's right mom! Not only have Rhonda and I reconciled, but we're now dating!" Arnold said, excitedly.

"Aww. Well let me be the first to say, you two more than deserve each other! And we're all proud for the two of you!" Stella smiled at the two. "Congratulations Shortman! We're real proud for ya!" Grandpa smiled.

"So when are you gonna give her a ring?" Stella teased. "Mom, really?!" Arnold facepalmed.

As soon as Arnold turned to face Rhonda, she surprised him with a quick kiss. "Hopefully that'll motivate you to get me that precious ring sooner." Rhonda giggled as she gave him another kiss.

As the day would go by, Arnold and Rhonda were mainly in the backyard throughout the evening as they were with Moses and Harper.

Night time soon came by, and Arnold walked Rhonda home as usual, only this time was a little different now that they were dating.

"Arnold buddy, I can never thank you enough for your kindness! I truly can't!"

"Oh I think you did, actually." Arnold smiled. "I did? How so?" She asked. "By becoming my girlfriend! How else, my sweet." Arnold then kissed the back of her hand. "Awww. Your kindness can't go unpaid!" Rhonda hugged then kissed Arnold once more.

"I love you Rhonda."

"I love you too Arnold."

The two shared one more kiss before Arnold headed home.


The Next Morning

Arnold had soon woke up from his best dream in a long time, he soon fed Moses and Harper shortly after he woke up. Arnold went downstairs after he got ready for school, and he had a beaming smile on his face.

"Morning Arnold!" Miles greeted his son. "Morning Dad!" Arnold hugged his parents.

"You seem very chirpy today, what gives?" Stella asked. "Oh wait! I think I should know the answer to this one!" Miles said. Arnold nodded happily.

"Our little Romeo is eager to see his Juliet, I'd bet." Stella chuckled. "Mom…" Arnold lowered his eyelids a little. "Oh we're just kidding with you hun! We obviously know why you're so chirpy today, and we couldn't be any more happier for you." Stella smiled at Arnold.

Arnold smiled. "I'll see you two later. Bye Mom, bye Dad." Arnold hugged both his parents. "Have a great day son." Miles patted his back.

Arnold soon met up with Gerald outside. "What's happenin' man?" Gerald smiled at his best friend. "Great to see you man." Arnold replied as they did their handshake.

"So Arnold, get me up to speed here. How are things with you and Rhonda? Any feelings yet?" Gerald asked. "Well uh.. you'd be surprised." Arnold replied, leaving Gerald slightly confused.

As the two were walking along, Arnold told Gerald all of the fun stuff Rhonda and he did throughout the week, even told him about his first kiss with Rhonda.

"Arnold… You, are a BOLD kid. And I mean it." Gerald said, flabbergasted. "And funny thing is-" Before Arnold said anything, he then saw his girlfriend walking alongside her best friend, Nadine.

Arnold then ran up to Rhonda and hugged her. "Rhonda!"

"Arnold!" Rhonda hugged him back.

Gerald was rather surprised. "Woah… I missed out on a lot."

Arnold gave her a brief kiss, surprising Nadine as well. "Wow, I knew you had a thing for him but wow! You two are really cute together!" Nadine smiled at the couple.

Arnold and Rhonda could only smile. "So tell us, how much you love each other, hmm?" Gerald snickered.

Arnold blushed while Rhonda had a flirty idea. "So, do you really wanna find out?" She asked. "Uh… what's that supposed to mean?" Gerald looked confused. "Uh Rhonda? Why are you looking at me like that?" Arnold looked at her. And she had that flirty look in her eyes. "Arnold doll, let's give them an answer shall we?"

Before Arnold could answer, Rhonda yanked on his collar as she started to kiss him, really surprising Gerald and Nadine. "Looks like his boldness rubbed off on her." Gerald snickered to Nadine.

Arnold soon had a goofy look once the two separated. Rhonda could only giggle.

Later at school, most of their friends would meet up with the new couple. And they all saw how Arnold and Rhonda were hand in hand.

"There they are." Helga was unphased surprisingly.

"Uh Arnold? Why are our friends all here? Did you tell them to meet you here or something?" Rhonda asked. "I never said anything." Arnold looked confused.

"Hey Arnold! Is it true?" Sid asked.

"Is what true?" Arnold replied. "Come on, you should know!" Harold blurted out. "Are the rumors we heard true?" Stinky chimed in.

"A rumor Rhonda hasn't heard? Please. That's impossible." Arnold snickered. "Oh very funny you are huh. . . Aw but I still love you though!" She kissed his cheek.

"Wait, so the rumors ARE true!" Sid said.

"Sid, what rumors! Who even said anything!" Arnold replied.

"Are you two.. dating?"

Arnold and Rhonda didn't hesitate to answer. "Yes. Yes we are. Problem?"

The group was actually surprised. "Wow! Who would've thought? The gossip queen of P.S.118 would actually fall for someone despite saying she wouldn't!" Sid started. "Well, she wouldn't fall for ANYONE except my main man, Arnold!" Gerald put an arm over his best friend.

"The real question is how did he do it?" Stinky asked. "Now he has real guts! More than all of us combined!" Harold said.

"Oh you'd be surprised at how bold my buddy is." Rhonda giggled as she kissed Arnold.

"Don't you guys get it! THESE TWO KISS NOW. KISS EQUALS GROSS! ARE YOU GUYS OUTTA YOUR MINDS?! THEY ARE NOW BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND. WHAT DON'T YOU GUYS GET ABOUT IT?!" Helga snapped.

"Hang on a second Pataki. Is it just me, or did you tell all of them these two were dating?" Gerald had a raised eyebrow. "Woah hold on. You told all of them me and her are dating now?" Arnold looked at Helga.

She was speechless not knowing what to actually say. "Ok so?! I found out somehow ok! I have my sources!" She snarled.

Rhonda merely laughed. "Hang on a second now. This is rather funny, you wanna know why? We're at an age where kissing isn't gross or none of that! Sure it may seem weird or something to others, but that doesn't make it gross or any of that! It's called true love! Something you've never heard of."

And those words really made her snap. "What did you just say to me!?" She snarled.

Helga was about to grab her by the collar but Arnold stepped in front of her. "Outta my way football head! I got some business to handle!"

"No! You got a problem with her, you'll be having a problem with me!" Arnold said rather sternly. Rhonda could only flash a small smile as she hugged him from behind.

Helga could only growl as she soon stomped off.

"My hero." Rhonda whispered as she hugged Arnold tightly.

"You really are right, he's quite a bold kid." Nadine said to Gerald. He only nodded.

"Alright shows over you guys, what are y'all standing around here for." Gerald and Nadine told the others.

"You ok, Princess?" Arnold asked. Rhonda nodded. "I'm more than ok, thanks to you my sweet." She gave a small kiss towards his cheek, making him blush.

"You two alright?" Gerald asked. The two nodded. "Man, what's the deal with her? And how'd she find out about our relationship?" Arnold soon asked.

"I don't know man, whatever it is, something tells me it probably isn't pretty." Gerald replied. "Oh Gerald please, when it comes to Helga, nothing is pretty, not even her appearance." Rhonda said while Arnold laughed a little.

Arnold then started to think about some things that didn't add up for him. "I think we'll need a little talk with her." Arnold soon said.

"Say what?"

"Some things here aren't adding up, which means we'll need to have a little talk."

"You want us to come with you guys or maybe not?" Gerald asked. "No thanks. It's rather something between us." Arnold replied.

"Alright man, just be careful around her." Gerald said.
