Hey Arnold!
Oskar, the Millionaire - Part One
Note: This fan fic takes place after the episode "Oskar Can't Read?" because he can read through a shopping list and a scratch card. I didn't want to write another Helga/Arnold love fic, so I decided to write one about other characters. My future fics will probably all be like this. I'm planning on writing a fic about Lila that you can look out for on the site.
Disclaimer: I own the plot of this story, but not the characters. I do not work on the show.
Oskar and Suzy were both in their room at the boarding house on a Saturday afternoon. Suzy was busy doing cleaning, while Oskar was watching his favourite TV show.
"Oh, Oskar," said Suzy. "I need you to go to the grocery store and get me some things!" she told him. "I've made a list and I've put it on the counter."
"Oh, Suzy, I'd love to go but it feels like I am getting a headache!" he moaned. "Oh! The pain!"
"Oskar, I have been doing work around the house all day and there is a lot more to do," she said. "I need these things from the grocery store, if you want to eat tonight!"
"Oh, okay, I'll go," he said. "If tonight's meal depends on it!"
He took the list and went to the store. He read through the list and put every item on the list into his shopping basket. Then, he walked to the counter.
"I would like these things!" he told the shop assistant and he put the basket onto the shop counter. Then, Oskar noticed a poster up on the wall. It was advertising a scratch card. "Win Win Win" he said aloud, reading from the poster. "Buy a scratch card for $1 and have a chance to win $1 million!"
"Yeah, one scratch card printed in the series has a $1 million prize," said the shopkeeper. "Would you like one?"
"Yeah!" said Oskar. "I'll take one hundred! Forget the items in that basket!" Suzy had given him a $100 bill because she had not had any change. Oskar handed in the money. He really thought that he had a chance of winning the big prize.
The shopkeeper gave him a box to put the cards in. He didn't try to stop Oskar. He was just happy that he had made a big sale on the cards. Oskar left the shop. He was very excited. "I'll be a millionaire as soon as I scratch these cards off!" he said to himself. "One of the cards must be a winner!"
He ran home and into the boarding house. "Suzy!" he shouted when he reached his room.
"Are the groceries in that box?" asked a confused Suzy. "Where is my change from that $100 bill?"
"No!" he said. "Forget the groceries! I used the $100 to buy one hundred Big Winner Scratch Cards!"
"You did what?" screamed an angry Suzy. "Don't you understand that they are big scams? Do you know the chances of winning those things?"
"Suzy, you don't understand!" he said. "With 100 tickets I've got the a great chance!"
"Millions of those tickets are printed!" said Suzy. "You have just wasted $100 on them and I am going to sit here and watch you scratch them all off and find no winners. Then maybe you will learn that these tickets are scams!"
Oskar emptied the box of tickets onto the floor. He started to scratch the tickets off, but found no winners. When he got to the last ticket, and scratched it off and found that it wasn't a winner Suzy said, "Oskar, what did I tell you? You wasted $100 on those tickets. That was our money for food for the rest of the week. We have no money now and it is your fault! I'm changing my life, Oskar! I'm going to pack up my things and go and stay with my mother."
"Suzy, wait!" said Oskar. "I'm sorry! I can change!"
"I can't stay here!" said Suzy. "There is no food here! How can I survive for the rest of the week?"
"We'll just go back to the Boarding House meals and ask Grandpa to add the cost onto our bill!" said Oskar.
"Okay, Oskar. But this is your last chance," said Suzy. "If you do anything like this again, I will go and live with my mother."
"Yeah, I will change!" he said.
Then, Oskar spotted a scratch card on the floor that hadn't been scratched off. "Oh, look Suzy!" he said. "I missed one!" He scratched it off. He revealed a three $1 million symbols. "Suzy, I have a winning card!" he shouted. "I've won $1 million!"
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yes!" he screamed. "It says that you have to match three $1 million symbols and we win that amount! It says to read the small print for more information! Oh, that doesn't matter! There's nothing else we need to know - we're millionaires!"
"Oskar, I love you!" said Suzy. "Let's go and tell the other boarders!"
"Not yet!" said Oskar. "First of all I will go down to the office of the scratch card company and I will give them the winning card. Then, we can tell the others!"
Part 2 coming soon!
