The next day Arnold saw Helga sitting out in the middle of the park wearing a really nice pink dress with sequins.
"Helga what's that matter?" Arnold said walking up.
Helga quickly wiped the tear out of her eye. "Nothing Arnold, I'm fine, nothing's wrong at all."
"Helga you can talk to me, it's about your family isn't it?"
"Yeah, Bob's company wants the family to be in a commercial."
"What's so bad about that?"
Helga stood up, put on a fake smile and began to act out her part.
"Hi there all of you out there, I hope you can see the wonderful man behind me, that's my loving, caring, father, Bob. You should buy a beeper from him, he's the nicest guy around." Helga dropped out of character and went back to scowling.
"So what's the matter Helga, that sounded fine."
"Except I'm totally lying! Here's what it should sound like: Hi all you slobs watching TV this is my idiot father, who hates my guts. He calls me by my older sister's name and pretty much doesn't even care that I exist, so you should never ever buy a beeper from him ever again!" Helga broke down and began crying, the tears running the mascara the makeup people had put on her. Arnold came over and without thinking placed his hand on Helga's shoulder, she withdrew at first then looked up at Arnold with tears streaming down her face, she got up and hugged Arnold.
"Arnold I hate it, I just can't take it Arnold, it's so horrible, I wish I didn't have parents!" Arnold patted Helga on the back.
"It's okay Helga, I know how you feel, just so....so..."
"Lost" Helga said finishing his sentence.
"Yeah, see you know exactly how I feel." Arnold said almost on the verge of tears himself.
Helga sat down and Arnold placed his arm around her shoulders, still trying to comfort the crying girl. Just then Harold walked by with Sid and Stinky.
"Hey fellers, look." Stinky said pointing to Arnold and Helga. "I wonder what Helga's all dolled up for, her dad must be a shooting a dang commercial or something."
"I don't know Stinky, why would Arnold hang out with Helga for?" Sid said shrugging his shoulders.
"I know guys, Arrrrnolddd must have a crush on Helga." Harold said with an impish smirk on his face.
"Yeah Sid, remember that bracelet, I told ya Helga done gave it to um." Stinky said matter-of-factly.
Arnold turned red at Harold's comment. "See, Arnold's even blushing. He must have a big crush on her"
"I... I.... Helga and I are just friends"
"That's what they all say" said Sid, who laughed when Arnold turned even redder..
"Sorry Helga, I have to go, I hope everything goes okay with the commercial, bye" Arnold said quickly then he turned and left.
The others boys also left, leaving Helga alone, She sat there until Bob called her over.
"Okay Helga stand right there, now do you remember your line"
"I'm not doing this..."
"You're a Pataki and you'll do it, it's best for the beeper empire!" stated Bob, getting mad.
" I won't do it! because none of it is true!"
"Look! you're doing this commercial, and that is final!"
"She doesn't have to do it if she doesn't want to" said Arnold, running up.
"Arnold? Didn't you leave?"
"I thought that leaving just then was very mean of me, so I decided to come back" said Arnold, looking up at Helga and smiling.
"What are you doing here Alfred? This is none of your business, Let Olga do the commercial."
"She's Helga!"
"That's what I said! And I don't like orphan boys turning my kids against me!"
"Bob that's it I am sick of you saying that to Arnold. Now usually I would keep my mouth shut, but not this time, you already ticked me off with this stupid commercial, then you go and insult one of my good friends. Sometimes I wish I was an orphan just so I wouldn't have to live with you!" Helga screamed right in her father's face.
"Come on Arnold, let's get out of here." Helga said grabbing Arnold's arm and dragging him down the street.
"Helga where are you going?"
"I don't care anywhere away from HIM"
Helga arrived at Mighty Pete, and drug Arnold up behind her. She ran over to a corner and sat down facing the wall.
"Helga? Helga are you all right?"
"Just stay away from me you....you....football head."
"Helga why did you do that, I...I.....I thought you hated me."
"No it's just.....it's none of your business football head."
"Okay Helga if you want to be that way about, I understand." Arnold began to walk away.
"Arnold wait!"
"Yes Helga?"
"I'm sorry for my dad saying that, I know that had to hurt, and I'm sorry."
"Thanks Helga, that's sweet."
"Thank you too" said Helga, and then he left. 'Well that's something I have to tell Dr. Bliss, Arnold is so sweet! And now we're friends' Helga thought, almost swooning, but then she thought about Big Bob.
"He's going to be mad that I didn't do his little commercial, heck let him be mad!! I'm mad and have better reasons to be" She said to herself, then she left to change out of the dress.
The next day Helga was talking with Dr. Bliss.
"And he stood up for me, I mean not just to anyone, but to Big Bob Pataki!"
"That's really nice Helga, then what happened."
"Well my Dad got ticked, and can you believe, had the nerve to call my beloved Arnold an orphan again."
"Oh dear, I hope Arnold's all right."
Helga just smiled, "I think so, because that's when I went off on Bob. Got right in his face and told him, I didn't want him calling Arnold and orphan ever again."
"And how did Bob react to that?"
"I have no clue, I ran off to the treehouse, dragging Arnold with me. Then he....."
"Yes Helga, go on."
"Well I apologized for my Dad, and he said thank you. And he had the cutest little smile on his face, and oh how adorable he looked with the sun rays shinning off his golden hair, and he was smiling, at me, because I did something nice for him."
"Really Helga? That's good that you were able to help each other out like that."
"Yeah, I just hope I can keep it up, maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I think he's starting to like me more."
"Well that's wonderful Helga, but our time is up, see you next time."
"Okay bye." Helga said walking out the door, and then she saw Arnold sitting in the waiting room.
"Hi Arnold, you still a little upset about my Dad?" Arnold jerked up, surprised that Helga still cared.
"I think I'll be fine Helga, but...um.. thanks for asking."
"No problem Arnold, anything for a friend like you." Helga said turning to leave. Arnold began to wonder what Dr. Bliss had said to Helga, this was just not like her.
"Good afternoon Arnold, and how are things going?"
"Fine"
"So what have you been up too?"
"Well, I invited Helga over to play checkers two days ago, and I thought it was kinda weird..."
"What do you think was weird?"
"Well, Helga was really nice to me until Gerald came in, then she turned mean again. People think I'm crazy because I say Helga is being nice, then she turns around and starts being mean when anyone else comes by"
"Why do you think she does that?"
"I think it's because she thinks she has a reputation to hold "
"Maybe that's it"
"But she can be so nice sometimes, like yesterday, when her father called me an orphan again, she stood up for me, but later, seemed to forget what she did"
"And why do you care so much?"
"Well because, I....I don't know why. I just can't explain it."
"Well Arnold, maybe you should think back over what happened, did anything happen before that?"
"Well I saw her in the park crying..."
"Why was she crying?"
"Because her family, her father was trying to force her to do this commercial, and well......"
"Yes Arnold?"
"She started crying, I didn't know what to do, I wanted to comfort her, but when I put my hand on her shoulder, she pulled away, like no one had ever given her any love her entire life. Then she hugged me Dr. Bliss....and I....I felt so sorry for her, but I didn't know what to do. Part of me was saying it's Helga Pataki, who cares, but the other part of me was....well...."
"Wanting to give her that missing love?" Dr. Bliss said quietly.
Arnold looked right up at Dr. Bliss. "And then I put my arm around her, trying to calm her down. I had never seen Helga this upset before, let alone this emotional. And then the problem began."
"What happened Arnold?"
"A couple of kids from school started teasing me about it, so I made a bad excuse and left. I felt horrible, I mean she was already hurt and then I walked off. I did come back later though, and apologized, but she still seemed upset about it and her dad wasn't helping any. I just wish I could make it up to her, but how? I mean I feel terrible about it, I think she's still mad at me for it."
"What did these kids from school say that upset you so much?"
"They said I had a crush on Helga."
"And what's so bad about that?" Arnold turned a little red.
"Oh I see Arnold, you do like her don't you?"
"Well I guess so, I mean I'm not quite sure, I mean no. I'm so confused."
"Arnold, I want you to tell Helga how bad you feel about walking off like that, I don't care how, just a nice little way to say, 'Hey I'm sorry' Can you do that Arnold?"
"I think I can Dr. Bliss, I mean what's the worse that could happen...wait a minute, she could pound me!"
"I don't think Helga would do that if you were being serious."
"Yeah I guess you're right, but I just wish I could understand where's she coming from with her whole 'tough girl' attitude."
"I think you will in time Arnold, but it might take awhile."
"So what can I do to make it up to her?"
"Perhaps inviting her over to your house for checkers again, or just hanging out with her. It sounds like Helga really needs a friend that understands her."
"That's it, I can talk to Phoebe, maybe she'll know some way I can be nice to Helga."
"That's a good idea Arnold, well our time is up, but remember Helga has feelings too so be careful."
"I will Dr. Bliss."
The next day Arnold got on the bus and sat behind Phoebe and Helga, and try as he might he couldn't stop sneaking glances at them.
"Man, you've got it bad!"
"I've got what bad?"
"I didn't believe it when Sid told me, but seeing is believing!"
"Seeing what?"
"You know what I'm seeing!"
"No I don't, can you explain?" asked Arnold, in his completely oblivious way.
"Never mind, Arnold, never mind...."
Later, right after lunch, Arnold approached Phoebe's locker.
"Why hello Arnold, that Math test today was extremely easy, don't you think?"
".... Yeah..." said Arnold after a moment, who was thinking how the math test was kinda hard.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk about?"
"I, uh, wanted to know what Helga does after school, other than play baseball with us."
"I really have no idea, Helga goes off by herself a lot"
"Oh... thanks anyway" Arnold left looking for Helga, deciding that he'd have to figure out something to do with her while he was finding her. Helga was hiding behind various objects watching Arnold's every move.
"What is that stupid football head up to?" she said to herself. Arnold had walked all over and still no sign of Helga. He decided maybe she was at Phoebe's house.
"Hello Arnold, may I do anything to assist you?" Phoebe said answering the door.
"Yeah, I can't find Helga, I was wondering if she was here."
Helga was hiding around the corner at the time. "He's looking for me!?!" She said falling off the trash can and out into the street.
"Helga? Is that you?" Arnold said looking at the girl who had mysteriously seemed to appear.
"Well who else do you think it is Einstein? Of course it's me."
"Helga what were you doing in that alley?"
"I um...I ....my monitor likes to eat....mice so I was....um trying to find some." Helga said stumbling through a really bad excuse.
"Whatever you say Helga, are you still looking for mice or do you have time to talk to me?"
"You know what I just remember something, I fed my monitor lizard yesterday, I don't need to feed him again till um....some other day."
"So you can talk now?"
"Sure Arnold, as long as no one sees me with you I'm fine. I have a reputation to keep up you know."
Arnold sighed, then said, "Do you want to do something?"
"Like what, football head?"
"I don't know, we could go walk around the park"
"Whatever floats your boat Arnold!" said Helga smiling.
"... And he just waltzed into my room like an good friend! I couldn't do anything in my room without getting interrupted."
"Heh! That was probably annoying when it happened, but funny when you look back on it, Mr. Kokoshka was pretty stupid."
"He's not stupid just...... special in his own way."
"Mr. Simmons is rubbing off on you too much football head!" said Helga with a laugh.
Arnold began to laugh to, but was stopped suddenly when he heard Harold laughing.
"See, I told you, Aaaaaaarnold does have a crush on Helga!" Arnold started to say something, but Helga beat him to the punch. Harold was sent to the ground, and Sid and Stinky, who where with him, ran home before the same could be done to them.
"Helga, you shouldn't have done that..."
"The geekbaits had no right to make fun of you, and they were getting on my nerves"
"Well.... I have to be going now Helga, bye" and Arnold walked off in a different direction.
After he had left, Helga started talking to herself, "Oh that's great Helga, Arnold starts thinking of you as a friend then you go and scare him off, at this rate he'll hate you even more than he did a month ago! And now your talking to yourself! Isn't that wonderful!" Helga then ran to the docks and started venting her anger by throwing stones into the water.
"Helga are you okay?" Phoebe said coming up behind Helga.
"No I'm not !" Helga said throwing another rock.
"Helga what happened I thought you were talking with Arnold."
"What ? Are you stalking us Pheebs? You better not be stalking Arnold, that's my job."
"Helga, remember Arnold came to my house searching for you. I assumed that since you went off together that you would still be together, apparently my hypothesis was incorrect due to some factor that I have a feeling you added."
"I punched Harold." Helga mumbled.
"You what? Well then with that action added into my deductions then the current scenario is correct after all. I presume Arnold became infuriated at your anti-social behavior and left?"
"Yes, I'm such an idiot!"
"Helga, what pray tell did cause you to strike Harold. I suppose you had a reason of some sort."
"Yes he was teasing Arnold about having a crush on me."
"And so in protecting the aforementioned you lashed out and caused Arnold to remove himself from your presence."
"Yeah, I told you I was stupid. I should do like Dr. Bliss said and try to control my anger, use it more productively."
"Yes your physician is quite correct Helga, you need to express your anger in a more proactive manner."
"You're right Pheebs, come on let's get something to eat I'm starving."
"Coming"
The next day Arnold saw Helga sitting out in the middle of the park wearing a really nice pink dress with sequins.
"Helga what's that matter?" Arnold said walking up.
