Chapter 1: The Plan/Annoucement
The class shouted with joy. A contest has just been announced and whoever wins gets a free vacation to Europe for two. Due to this, the class was too busy focusing on ideas to win to notice their teacher trying to settle them down. This went on for a while till Helga shouted:
Helga: Shut up you morons!
~The class became quiet, but everyone was glaring at Helga. She blushed but managed to lift her fist and shake it around as a warning for everyone to stop looking at her. Everyone gulped except Arnold and Phoebe who rolled their eyes and directed their attention back on Mr. Simmons.
Mr. Simmons: Now class. It seems that only one person from each school can participate in this contest. So there will be a talent show to chose the person to represent our school for the contest. Good luck to you all. This will be a special day for all of us. (The class groaned.) The sign up sheet is on my desk so feel welcome, to come and sign up. And the talent show will be held on Friday. And.....
Phoebe: Mr. Simmons, Who will decide who wins?
Mr. Simmons: (looked directly at Phoebe and smirked). Well, it seems that special opportunity will be on your fellow classmates. *The Bells Rings*
Rhonda, Nadine, Lila, Sid, Gerald, Curly, Eugene, and even Harold ran over the sign-up sheet before, storming out the classroom as usual. Arnold walked over to the sign-up sheets as well, followed by Phoebe. Helga watching in amazement as everyone rushed over to sign their names on the sheet. "Crimney, I'm I the only person who's not entering the contest?" Questioned Helga as she saw Stinky get up slowly and walk over to her. "Nope, I'm not going to either. I don't wanna judge my friends or anything. I'm not even going to the Talent show." Explained Stinky as he was about to walk out the door when, Sid called him over. Helga watched as Stinky signed his name after seeing Lila sign and Gloria. "Phoebe? What are you doing? Your actually taking this thing seriously!" Roared Helga as she dragged her bestfriend from the mob of kids trying to get their names on the list.
Phoebe stared at Helga and shook her head. "It's not that. I'm not actually singing or anything. I'm gonna organize the Talent show. It's logically with so much people wanting to enter, There be no one to actually set it up." Answered Phoebe as she smiled shyly. Helga let her go and shook her head. " I guess that's alright Phoebe. But meet me outside later." Ordered Helga as she left the classroom and hid in a dark deserted hallway took out her locket. "What I'm I do? All my foolish classmates entering this stupid contest. Even Phoebe? Even my beloved?" muttered Helga as she overheard a conservation between Gerald and Arnold.
Gerald: Hey man. This Talent Show is gonna be great. Finally my talent will be noticed and a free trip too. There might even be some money for those who come in second place. I could really use that to get those cool new skates.
Arnold: I'm not sure. I just always wanted to go to Europe since, I found out my parents once went there. I'm not sure if I'll win though.
~Gerald put a resuring arm over his bestfriend~
Gerald: Don't sweat. You'll win with me helping you. Plus, even if we don't. One of our friend problemly will and they're pick you for sure. And Lila would problemly take you if she wins. She does owe you. Everyone does. You give all the advice and you saved some lives.
Arnold: Yeah, your right. Let's go. I hear Lila is doing a act with Rhonda and Nadine. I can't wait to see that. ~ Arnold and Gerald did their secret handshake and ran off laughing, trying to think of an act.~
Helga frowned, holding her locket to her body tightly. "So my beloved wants to go with Ms. Perfect. We'll see about that. I'll make sure she'll never wins by entering myself. I blow the socks off of everybody. Just you wait Lila. You'll lose and Arnold will fall for me. Oh my love, a whole week alone with you in Europe will be like Heaven. "(sighs dramatically and looks at her locket). A weezing is heard behind Helga and she pulls her fist back and hits Brainy right in the face like usually. Helga stomps off to Mr. Simmon's room and signs her name. "First part done. Now all I need is an act. Phoebe can help me on that." murmers Helga as she runs off to find her bestfriend.
Chapter 2: Getting Started
Helga sighed and looked over at her bestfriend. "Phoebe, how can I win this?" Asked Helga as her bestfriend looked at her. "Well you could recite your poems. ( Helga turns to her horrifed). Or you can sing. That's what Lila is doing." Suggested Phoebe. "Sing, that's brilliant Phoebe. What shall I sing?" muttered Helga as looked around her bestfriend's room, trying to find a song. Phoebe obserbed Helga as she saw the faraway look in her eyes. She knew Helga wanted to win this contest badly cause of Arnold and an escape from her daily life at home. She turned on the radio and a song came on: (Okay this is only a part of the song, I'm saving the whole song for Helga later)
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mild
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
to feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong
"That's beautiful Helga. You sing very well. I think your ready for tomorrow's Talent Show." Confirmed Phoebe. "I hope so" I mumbled.
