....finally got to play Stickball again!
"Come on Arnold! You can do better than *that*! I know you can!" Said Helga, being the Umpire/Catcher, as always.
"It's two outs and bases loaded Arrrrrrnold, are you going to hit the ball or not" Asked Harold, who should have learned by now that Arnold *always* hits the ball the third time!"
"Just throw the ball Harold! There are three balls anyway you stink pitcher you!" Said Melvin off to the side, keeping reporters away.
Harold threw the ball, and ended up conking Arnold in the Head, making him faint.
"Look what you did Harold!" Said Helga, catching Arnold as he fell.
Arnold woke up. "Ow... I can't believe I missed playing this game.."
They finished the game up quickly after that, and the next two weeks flew by even faster.
The movie release day came, and Arnold was in his room while Gerald was going over his schedule.
"Okay Arnold, you have an autograph session at 1, a photo shoot at 3, and..."
All of a sudden a mob of screaming girls stormmed into the room. Apparently they had paid Oskar to sneak them pass Melivin.
The girls practically jumped Arnold.
"I like got his hat!" one fan screamed, then Arnold snatched it back.
"I've got his sweater!" One screamed after yanking Arnold's sweater off over his head.
"Gerald, HELP!" Arnold screamed trying to get the girls off him.
"Okay man, escape plan A" Gerlad whispered to Arnold.
"Gotcha Gerald."
Gerald blew a whistle.
"Hey like where did he go?" one of the fans asked.
"There he goes, down the hall." Gerald pointed.
The girls ran screaming out.
"Hey wait, I was in the movie too." Gerald said following after them.
Arnold's door swung open to reveal Helga. She looked around, then saw that the closet was cracked open.
"Let's see, what could be behind door number one." Helga said flinging the door open, to reveal Arnold, with his hair all tossled and his plaid shirt almost completely off.
"Helga?!?" he screamed, trying to pull his plaid shirt back on. "Don't worry, the sea of raging hormones has ebbed."
"Helga how did you get in here?" "I have my ways Arnold, now let's get out of here and go do something."
"I don't know Helga, I have a photo shoot at 3 and then Melvin is gonna..." Helga grabbed Arnold by his shirt. "Mel, smel, just follow me, out the window, down the fire escape, through the alley and we're gone." Arnold just smiled.
They had gotten halfway down to the park, when a mob of fans spotted them.
"There they are!" one fan screamed and Arnold and Helga started running.
"This is more tiring then the chase scene in the movie."
"I know Arnold, but where can we go?"
"Well, we could try to get back to my house..."Started Arnold.
"Mr. Simmons!"
"What you mean that Mr. Simmons is chasing us too?"
"No! we can go to Mr. Simmons house!" said Helga Pointing to Mr. Simmons street.
"Your right Helga! Lets go!" and so they ran down Mr. Simmons street and knocked.
"Hello?" asked Mr. Simmons, opening the door, "Oh, Hello Arnold, Helga, what in specialness are you doing here?"
"Hi Mr. Simmons... Um... can we hide from the mob of screaming fans out there?" Asked arnold quickly.
"Oh dear! Their chaing you? Come right in" Mr Simmons Ushered them in, and shut the door, "I'll go get us something to drink and then you can tell me what happened.
"Whew! Good thinking Helga!"
"It was nothing!"
Mr. Simmons came back with some iced tea, "So what are you doing away from your body guard Melvin?"
"Well, Helga and I..." Arnold stopped when he heard a crash.
"Their in here Girls!!" Screamed someone outside.
"Ack! They found us!" said Helga.
"NO... I have A place for you to hide.." Mr. Simmons got up, lifted a mischievous looking ceramic kitten and a section of the wall opened up to a secret room.
Arnold looked inside, "Nifty"
"Mr. Simmons why do you have a secret room?" Helga asked.
"The prior owner of the house had it for some reason, and I never dreamed I would use it. But lucky for you two special people, I can hide you here till I can contact Melvin.Be right back."
"This is cool, don't you think Arnold?"
"Yeah this is interesting."
"Um Arnold, Helga."
"What Simmons?" Helga questioned.
"We have a bit of a problem, your fans have disconnected the phone line."
"Great, now what are we going to do." Helga asked aloud.
Stinky was walking by when he saw the mob outside Mr. Simmons house. "Goush, Arnold and Helga must be a hiding with Mr. Simmons."
Then Melvin came up to Stinky,
"Hey kid can you help me?"
"Well I's don't know, what's I gotta do?"
"I need someone to get inside and tell Arnold and Helga the plan."
"How can I's do that?"
"Wear this and sneak in the back way, deliver this note."
said Melvin handing Stinky a black leather jacket and a piece of paper.
So Stinky put on the Leather Jacket and made it throught through tha crowd,
"One side! VIP coming through!" Said stinky his accent ammazingly gone. The girls parted for him, thinking he really was some important person, they remembered his face from somewhere.
Stinky opened the door and in his real voice called, "Hey Arnold! I have a note from Melvin!!"
Arnold read the note:
"Arnold, Helga, this is from Melvin, we've got a situation on our hands, go to plan B."
"Ready Helga?"
"I guess so Arnold."
"Mr. Simmons, we have to go." Arnold said starting to climb out the back window.
"But Arnold how are you going to get away from those fans, I don't want two of my special students getting hurt."
"We didn't do our own stunts for nothing Mr. Simmons." Helga answered.
"Okay Arnold, I'm ready to go, action sequence 2, scene 5."
"Right Helga."
Arnold and Helga jumped out the window in the back and ran down the alley, with the fans close behind.
They got to a dead end.
"Okay Helga, now!" Arnold shouted as he propped her up so she could reach the top of the wall. Helga held on with one hand and pulled Arnold up with her free hand. They jumped safely to the other side.
"Okay Helga back to the boarding house." Arnold said running down the alley.
A mob of press people were still camped outside the boarding house's front door.
"Okay Helga, up the fire escape, quietly." Arnold said helping Helga climb the ladder.
Once on the roof, Arnold realized they were locked up there.
"I can't get in, Grandpa locked the door to the stairs."
"No problem Arnold." Helga crawled over to the sunroof. "Let's see, third row of windows second pannel. Yes!" Helga said pulling the loose window pane up.
"Helga how did you know that window pane was loose?"
"I um...noticed it the other day."
So they climbed back down into the room.
Helga laid down on the bed, "And I thought those stunt training lessons would never come in handy."
A knock came at the door.
"Not again." Arnold sighed.
"Hey if it's that mob of girls after you, they'll have to get through me first."
"So are you going to guard me Helga?" Arnold said jokingly.
"Hey no one lays their hands on my Arnold." Helga said placing her hand on Arnold's shoulder.
"Short man, you in there?"
"Yes Grandpa." Arnold began to unlock a couple of locks.
Grandpa came in
"Well you two made it back, Melvin's downstairs guarding the front door again, he said you'd be up here."
Another knock came, "Run kids run!"
"I'm too tired to run Grandpa, who is it anyway?"
Grandpa called out, "Who's there?"
"Phil, let me in, Kimba must be starving."
Grandpa opened the door and let Grandma in. She was carrying a couple of trays.
Then next thing you know she had a full course meal all laid out, there was even candles for the table.
"Wow Grandma thanks." Arnold said.
"Anything for you and Idella, Kimba!" Grandma cracked up then left the room.
"Um.. who's Idella?"
"You are.... don't worry about it, let's just eat, I haven't all day!!"
When they had eaten (it was very good in fact) They heard a phone call come in from downstairs.
"Oh no! Now they've figured out what our Phone number is!" cried Arnold Frustrated.
"Idella! It's your Father calling from the America's!" called Grandma.
"Hello Bob?"
"Helga thank goodness you're safe, the entire house is surrounded and I didn't know where you were."
"What a minute, you were actually worried about me?"
"Yes Helga, you're a movie star, what in the beeper empire were you thinking not telling me where you are."
"Dad listen, I'm at Arnold's, I'm safe, don't worry."
"Helga who was that?"
"Just my Dad, he was actually worried about me."
"Really? That's nice. I guess this movie really did change our lives."
"Yeah, I guess it did."
A couple of weeks later almost everything was back to normal. Arnold and Helga were allowed to return to school, but Melvin did have to guard the door. Helga's parents were still paying some attention to her, but not as much, since Olga had won some award. All the kids at school still asked Arnold and Helga to recite lines from the movie every now and then.But over all they main thing that changed was between Arnold and Helga. Despite the strange looks they got from their friends, and disreguarding the few times they did cause Rhonda to faint, Arnold and Helga were always together. They had learned one important lesson in life and if you ever asked them for advice, they'd always answer the same,
"You shouldn't waste your whole life thinking just follow your heart and hopefully it will lead you right."
Sometimes late at night, you can see the two sitting up on the top of the boarding house, while Melvin guards the front door. Helga lays her head on Arnold's shoulder, and they sit there and talk about their little taste of fame, and how it completly changed their lives.
"Come on Arnold! You can do better than *that*! I know you can!" Said Helga, being the Umpire/Catcher, as always.
"It's two outs and bases loaded Arrrrrrnold, are you going to hit the ball or not" Asked Harold, who should have learned by now that Arnold *always* hits the ball the third time!"
