"Hey Mr. Uh... Arnold, I think you should get back upstairs" Said Melvin.
"Why is that Melvin?"
"Take a look outside"
Gerald, Arnold, And Grandpa all pulled back the curtain to look outside.
And Grandpa fainted.
Outside the door there was what looked like a wall of Cameras.
"I think the Previews came out" Said Arnold, who then tried to wake his grandfather up.
The phone rang, and Arnold answered.
"Arnold, is Helga there?"
"Who is this?"
"It's Dr. Bliss, Helga has an appointment with me today, and with all this movie chaos, I think she should try and make it."
"Okay, I'll tell her."
Arnold walked upstairs and knocked on the door.
Helga and Phoebe were still recovering from their little inside jokes.
"Helga, a Dr. Bliss called, she said you have an appointment today."
"Criminey! I do, well I see you later Arnold, I've got to go." She said running downstairs. She told Melvin what was happened, and the limo came to take her to Dr. Bliss' office.
Helga walked in.
"Hello Helga, having a good day?" Said Dr. Bliss holding one of the movie posters that had Helga and Arnold kissing on it.
"Yeah, I think they got my good side in that picture."
"Well Helga, I figured you might want to talk about it, I've been hearing a lot of rumors, so I figured I'd heard the true story from you."
"It's wonderful Doc, just wonderful. Here we are shooting this movie, nothing out of the ordinary, untill boom, a couple of kissing scenes. Next thing I know, Arnold comes up to me, and tells me he likes me. Trust me it took awhile to believe that I was awake. And well, ever since then we're practically always together."
"And what do your friends think about this."
"They all think it's a publicity stunt."
"Oh, so you're using a cover up."
"Yeah, you might say that, but who cares, we are actually getting along together."
"That's nice to hear Helga, so tell me a little more about this movie."
"Well there is this one scene where Arnold saves me, because the rope bridge broke, and then I had to stunt fall off a building and Arnold was actually worried about me, and then Arnold..."
"Helga, Helga, I said the movie, not every scene you did with Arnold."
"Oh, sorry. I guess I got a little carried away there."
Helga preceded to tell Dr. Bliss about the movie.
"That's great Helga, I'm glad to hear that you and Arnold are finally getting along. Well our time is up."
"Dr. Bliss?"
"Yes Helga."
"I'd like to do something for you, since you've been so nice and all, so I'll make sure you get invited to the premier of the movie."
"Thank you Helga, that's really nice."
Helga hugged Dr. Bliss and was escorted, by Melvin, down to the limo.
About a week later, the movie premeired at the kismet. Arnold, Helga and the rest of their class where all brought in two limos then escorted to the seats.
Helga and Arnold sat in the first row, With Phoebe and Gerald to their right, and Mr. Clemont to the left, and the rest of the cast to either side of them.
Eugene, Sheena, Curly, and Brainy actually didn't sit in the back, they sat in the 3rd row, but Eugene ended up with a broken seat.
Sid had thought he hit the jackpot, he was sitting next to Terry Viksten, the man who played the evil frog mutant in "An American WereFrog in Luxemburg" which happen to be his favorite movie.
Rhonda and Harold had just sat down when Rhonda fainted when Antoinette La Cherin, a famous model, sat down next to them and said she like Rhonda's Dress.
Just as Dr. Bliss woke Rhonda up, the Movie started playing.
The first action scene, had everyone ooooo-ing and awwww-ing. Then then it came to the scene where Jenna falls off the building, everyone seemed to inhale all at once, "ah"
Then came the big chase scene, followed by the kiss. Phoebe whispered to Gerald, "Look Gerald, this is where you save me." Gerald blushed. Arnold and Helga were sitting there, holding hands, but all the kids just figured it was part of a publicity stunt.
It came to the big love scene, Rhonda started crying on Harold's shoulder. Harold gave Rhonda a strange look, and continued eating his popcorn. Mr. Simmons was crying as Sheena tried to comfort him, assuring him it was just a movie.
Then came the kiss.
Arnold put his arm around Helga, and smiled. Helga laid her head on his shoulder.Harold stared at the screen and dropped his bucket of popcorn.
The movie continued, then it came to the kiss at the end, which almost no one knew about.
Rhonda was sobbing on Harold's shoulder.
"It's sooo romantic." She blubered.
All of the kids from school were in shock, they didn't know about this kiss.
"That's really good actin' if I's says so myself" Stinky said to Sid.
Eugene fell out of his seat, "I'm okay!"
The movie was over, and everyone was in tears.
Dr. Bliss came over to Helga.
"Hello Helga that was really good, and this must be Arnold."
She said motioning towards him.
Helga nodded.
"Pleased to meet you Arnold." She said shaking his hand, and winking at Helga.
"Let me tell you kids this much, since I'm a psychologist I happened to notice, that you two weren't always acting, if you get my drift."
"Dr. Bliss!" Helga said.
"Don't worry kids, I'll keep it under my hat, Helga with tell you that I can be trusted."
And with that Dr. Bliss waved goodbye and headed out.
"What did that lady do to make you's two blush so much?" Asked Stinky coming up behind.
"Wha? I mean... nothing Stinky!" Said Arnold, a bit too fast.
"Are you still trying to make me believe that you's two ain't a couple? Well you can't fool a Psychic... at least not for long"
"What do mean Stinky? We wouldn't lie to you, heh, heh" Asked Helga, turning pink.
"Then why are you and arnold over here blushin' up a storm?"
"Um..Stinky..it's just a..a..publicity stunt..yeah that's right."
"You's two can't fool me, you's two a couple and the lady done said so, so you's blushing. Don't you fret though I's know hows to be discreet about these here things. I won't tell no one, they won't believe me anyhow."
"You'd do that for us Stinky?" Arnold asked.
"Sure you's two seem like perdy nice people, and I's knows that showbusiness ain't that easy. No need for all the kids at school to start a dang fuss over it."
"Thank you Stinky." Helga whispered to him.
Grandpa came up to Arnold and Helga.
"I've got a surprise for you kids."
"What grandpa." Arnold asked.
"Oh, you'll see."
The limos took Arnold, Helga and their entire class to the boarding house. On the roof, Grandpa had set up a party for them all. He even arranged it with Mr. Clemont to let a few press members in.
Mr. Clemont came over to Arnold and Helga.
"Hi kids, can you do me a favor."
"What Mr. Clemont?" Arnold asked.
"Well the press people are going to be here, and lets just say I don't want you two fighting, keep up this niceness."
"Sure thing Mr. Clemont." Helga said smiling.
"We won't let you down!" Said Arnold, and the two Joined the party.
"Nadine! Did you hear? Antoinette La Cherin liked my dress!!" Exclaimed Rhonda.
"Um.. who is Antoinette La Cherin?"
"You don't know who the biggest fashion model in the world is? You really must have bugs on the brain!"
"Whatever Rhonda" A nadine walked off to find Sid.
"Hey Helga, I think we'll have to stop, The press people are here." Arnold stopped dancing.
"Why must they ruin my fun!" Said Helga, pretending to pout, but she was really just kidding
"I don't want to talk to reporters either" He said, then more softly, "Let's escape!"
"What do you mean?" Whispered Helga laughingly, an idea forming in her head.
"Come on!" Arnold took Helga's hand and pulled her too the fire escape.
"I like where this is going!"
"So do I! Lets get down before they see us!"
And they made it down the fire escape as quietly as they could.
Arnold took Helga down to a corner of the park, knowing all the press people would be outside the boarding house.
They sat down under a tree.
"Whew, I'm glad we got away from all those press people."
"Me too Arnold, me too. So now what do we do?"
"Just enjoy being alone together without, anyone bothering us, or taking pictures of us."
"That sounds nice." She said laying her head on his shoulder. "Arnold look at the stars, aren't they lovely?"
"Yes, but so are you." Arnold said as he kissed Helga on the cheek. Then they heard a loud thump. They both turned to see Harold laying on the ground. Harold had gone out to the park to get some ice cream, when he saw Arnold and Helga. He was so shocked, he dropped his ice cream and fainted.
"Um.. Helga, maybe we should go back."
"Why Arnold?"
"You know, at least for our friends."
"Okay Arnold." So they snuck back into the boarding house, by climbing through the kitchen window. Grandpa came in.
"So here's where the two love birds have been hiding out."
"Grandpa!"
"Sorry short man, just telling it like it is."
Arnold just shook his head and went back upstairs with Helga. Where they were bombarded with press people, luckily Melvin was there to keep them away.
Arnold and Helga walked over to where Gerald, Phoebe and a few others were standing.
"And what pray tell have you two been up to?" Gerald asked.
"Um...nothing." Arnold replied.
"Sure man, whatever you say." Gerald said shaking his head.
"Oweys!" yelled Harold, holding his head with both hands, then he looked around
"Aw Man! I fell asleep in the park again!! This is like.... the fifth time!" Harold Said without thinking, "wait a minute.. Hey! Where'd those two go anyway!" and he stalked back to the boarding house.
Meanwhile, Stinky was talking to Lila, "You sure where good in the movie Lila, you played krissy real well!"
"Why Thanks ever so much Stinky!"
"Your welcome Miss Lila, can I get you some punch?"
"If you don't mind, i'm just ever so thirsty"
"Be right back with yer punch"
When Stinky got to the punch table, he heard something.
"Psst! Hey Stinky over here!" Said Harold from behind a potted plant.
"Why it's Amazing! A talking Plant!"
"Hey! I'm not a plant!" Said Harold peaking out from behind.
"Harold? What are you doing hiding behind a plant?"
"I need to talk to some one! You wouldn't believe what I just saw!"
"What's you dang problem Harold?"
"Stinky I was walking, I was walking...and.."
"and let me guess, you was walking some more."
"And..and then I saw...I saw...I saw."
"And then you saw the light."
"No Stinky, I didn't see no light."
"Oh, then what'd you see?"
"I saw...them.. I saw them."
"Who Harold, the imaginary people in yer head?"
"No Stinky, I saw them...them two." Harold said trying to point to Arnold and Helga.
"So, you saw them, I can see them too."
"No Stinky, it's what they were doing."
"Well what was they doing?"
"They were....they were...they were."
"I know 'they were' doing something, I ain't that slow Harold."
"They were...(whispers to Stinky) kissing."
"Is that all Harold, that's nothing at all didn't you see the dang movie, they was a kissin in it too."
Harold was so confused, he actually took this as a reason and blew it off.
"I guess you're right Stinky, I'm just a little shaken up." Harold said as he pulled out his Wally doll.
Stinky started walking away.
"And peoples say I's got problems, the dang fool gettin all worked up over nothin."
"Why is that Melvin?"
"Take a look outside"
Gerald, Arnold, And Grandpa all pulled back the curtain to look outside.
And Grandpa fainted.
