*Author's Note* Once again I don't own the Temptations. So Otis Williams shouldn't call me trying to sue. None do I own Pepsi, but I do own the can I am drinking right now. Ahhh! The Joy of Pepsi. Anyways, Enjoy.

Friends, again?


Helga browses through Gerald's CD collection and pulls out The Best of the Temptations CD.
Just as Just My Imagination came on the door bell rang.

*Ding Dong*

Helga: I guess since I'm the only one here I should get the door.

Helga gets the door and is surprised to see a wet Arnold there. Arnold is ringing out the ends of his shirt and hasn't noticed Helga yet.

Arnold: Hey Gerald, what's u...(Arnold looks up and see Helga standing there smiling slightly)Helga...what are you doing here?
Helga: It's nice to see you too football head (sarcastic yet real tone)

Arnold: I'm sorry Helga, I didn't mean it that way. I was just looking for Gerald, we are suppose to be hanging out and As I was on my way here, it started pouring.
Helga: Criminey! (One for good measure) That's okay. Why don't you come inside. Gerald and Phoebe just left but they should be back. Unless they got caught in the storm. (Suddenly Helga looks at Arnold with his clothing and hair soaked and bursts out laughing.)

Arnold: What's so funny? :/

Helga: You are you're soaked. Why don't you take off your shirt while I go upstairs and find you a towel to dry off with.

Arnold: Okay. I guess I do looked kind of pathetic, uh?

Helga: (to herself) Kinda of wonderful to me.

Helga returns moments later and is the wonderful sight of a slightly muscular, shirtless Arnold downstairs.

Helga: Here's yo-your tow-el Arnold
Helga turns her head slightly while handing Arnold the towel so he can't see her blushing
Arnold: Thanks. I put my shirt in the dryer so it should be done in about 30 minutes.

Helga: Umm, okay. Umm, Arnold can I ask you a question.

Arnold: Sure, what is it Helga.

Helga: Umm. Ummm. Why haven't you spoken to me in the past couple of days.

Arnold: Well, I.....Well....Let's not worry about that okay.

Helga. What don't you trust me Arnold. I thought we were friends.

Arnold: We are friends Helga.... I just thought that I might have made you uncomfortable at the movies the other day.
Helga: Why? We are "friends" So are we cool again?
Arnold: Sure. Helga I have something to tell you......
Helga: What??

Just then Phoebe and Gerald enter the door with pizza and Pepsi.

Gerald: Hey guys what's up. Hey Man! (Noticing Arnold) What happened to you?
Arnold: Got caught in the rain...speaking of which, my shirt should be dry be now. Excuse me Helga, Phoebe. Gerald can you come help me get my shirt.
Gerald: Yeah Man. No Prob! Excuse me my love ( he says bowing at a blushing Phoebe)

Both Helga and Arnold caught Gerald and Phoebe up on the fact that they are friends again and that everything is alright. They all hang out for awhile, Gerald forgetting all about his mom's "surprise."

*Sorry this one is so short but you'll see why during the next chapter.*
