As they were walking to the set Helga tripped on a camera cord, Arnold went over to help her up.
"Helga you okay?"
"Yeah I just tripped, but thanks for helping me."
"Hey you two, we need you on the set, NOW!"
Arnold and Helga scurried into position, it was an action scene, and Helga had to jump off a platform.
"And, ACTION!"
"Craig! Watch out!"
"Huh?" Craig said looking up. Suddenly someone grabs him from behind.
"CRAIG!"
"Run, Jenna! Don't get caught yourself!"
"I will not run! You've saved me! Now I'm going to save you!" Jenna jumps off the platform, onto the man's back, making him drop Craig and fall to the floor.
"And Cut! Arnold you okay?"
Arnold picked himself up and shook his head.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Okay People, since we're doing stunts, lets do the one right before Jenna gets hurt, we'll do the chase that precedes that, during the field trip tomorrow. Okay Helga, you ready?"
"Yes sir"
Jenna was standing on the top of a building, with the bad guys coming from all around, then she falls over the edge.
Craig runs to the edge.
"Jenna! NO!"
He cries looking down.
"Ouch!" Helga screamed.
"And CUT! That's a wrap"
Arnold began to worry about Helga, he ran down to the stunt bag Helga had fallen into.
"Helga you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, that was weird."
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"Arnold, no offence, but WE ARE NOT ACTING ANYMORE!"
"Sorry Helga, I was just...well worried."
"And you say my character is rubbing off on me."
"Okay kids you can go home now."
Arnold headed home and decided that maybe he should talk to Grandpa about all that was happening.
Arnold came in the back way, "Hey Grandpa"
"Hi Short man, how was work?"
"It was great, I got out without anyone seeing me today. Even though I think mine and Helga's characters are really getting to us."
"Why is that?"
"Helga keeps acting really nice, even when we're not Jenna and Craig."
"Ever think that it may be because she really is nice? and was only ever acting mean all that time in school?"
"Why would she act mean all that time?"
"I don't know short man, she must have had her reasons"
Arnold thought for a minute then asked "What time is it Grandpa?"
"Um... 8:00"
"Darn! I'll never be able to play stickball again!"
"Well, Up to bed with you, you have to be at the studio at 6 am tommorrow"
Arnold Sighed and went up the stairs
"Hey Arnold! Can I have your Autograph? So when you are a big star I can say I met you? Ah ha ha ha ha"
"No Mr. Kokoshka I've given you three already!"
"Just one more! Arnold, Plaaeeeesse?"
"Fine, one more"
Arnold signed The picture Mr. Kokoshka had and then went up to bed.
Arnold got up to his room and the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Arnold."
"Hey Gerald, what's up?"
"I was just gonna ask you how the movie is going."
"Okay I guess."
"How's Helga treating you? Mean as ususal?"
"No actually I think her character is rubbing off on her, she's actually being nice."
"That's good, so you nervious about all of us coming tomorrow."
"Yep, you won't believe what scene we are on."
"You mean...in front of all of us?"
"Yeah"
"Oh, that's got to be tough, do you think you can do it?"
"Yeah, I know we can do that scene without anyone starring at us, but with all those people..."
"Wait a minute, you mean, you practiced it?"
"Yeah"
"Did the director force you to?"
"No, I was my idea. To make me less nervous."
"Wow, you actually volunteered to kiss Helga, your character has gone to your head man."
"Don't say that Gerald, Helga's not that bad."
"That's it, the madness is spreading. So, how did you...um.. practice it."
"Well, we just did that's all."
"Did she get mad, or try to punch you."
"No actually, I think I saw her slightly smile."
"I told you man, you two are psychically connected."
"Whatever you say Gerald, I have to get some sleep, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah see you man."
Meanwhile Helga was getting ready for the next day.
"I wonder what kind of flavor lip-gloss Arnold likes, Razzberry or Bubblegum" Thought Helga aloud, rummaging through the bag of make-up Olga had gotten her.
When she heard a knock she stopped her rambling, "What is It?"
"baby Sister? are you still up? We have to go to the studio early tomorrow, so you need your rest"
"What do you mean we?" Asked Helga, Flinging the door open.
"Mr. Clermont called and said that the family could come down to watch you tape, and we're all going tomorrow!"
"But Bob had work tomorrow!"
"He is taking the day off to come down to the studio"
Helga was amazed, Bob had *never* missed a day of work, ever!
The next day came and Arnold and Helga were both very nervous. Then Bob came storming up, "Helga we need to talk, it says here you have to kiss orphan boy." "Don't call him that dad! And what about it, I did in the school play, what's the difference?"
"Helga that was local, this movie is not. I don't want anyone saying my daughter is kissing and orphan."
Helga was sick of Bob always putting Arnold down.
"I'm going to do that part whether you like it or not Bob, I'm not Olga, I won't always do what you say, and don't you ever call Arnold an orphan, ever again!"
"Now you listen here, Helga..."
For once in Helga's life Olga was about to do some good.
"Daddy, let Helga do what she wants, she's not me and I don't like the way you are pushing her around."
"Fine, Helga you can do the scene, but only because Olga here talked me into it."
Bob stormed off, trying to find someone who needed a beeper
"Wow! thanks Olga! That was the nicest thing I have ever seen you do!" Helga said, hugging her sister.
"It's nothing..." Olga said, "I'm going off to Find mummy, you get ready.." Then she walked off, too.
Helga turned to go the dressing room, only to have someone hug her.
"Arnold?"
"Thanks Helga, you stood up to your dad for me... again!"
"It...It was nothing football-head" Said Helga, using Olga's line, "Now come on, we have to get into our costumes before the class gets here."
"Helga you okay?"
"Yeah I just tripped, but thanks for helping me."
"Hey you two, we need you on the set, NOW!"
Arnold and Helga scurried into position, it was an action scene, and Helga had to jump off a platform.
