Chapter 5: The Winner/ Back to Confusing

Gerald and Phoebe: And the Winner is: Nobody. What! Nobody
~The Audience gasps and starts booing and throwing food~

Gerald turned toward Phoebe as an apple hit him on the head. "Ow! This is getting ugly. Let's get out of here!" Pleaded Gerald as he raced toward the curtains dragging Phoebe with him. "Gerald, we got to figure out what's going on. They're must be some can of misunderstandment. I mean it's so....... unfair. Everyone worked so hard and someone should at least get the trip," concurred Phoebe as tears spilled from her eyes. "I worked so hard to put this play together. Everyone was counting on me to bring them to Hollywood. I failed them all. " Phoebe mumbled as Gerald embraced her. { Aw.. isn't that cute? If you haven't guess already, I love for Gerald and Phoebe to get together. Their so cute. Arnold: Oink Oink (turn me back please) Sure cutie. (Arnold changes back but he's not in clothes. Arnold blushes) Arnold is so cute. Come on, you can't blame me for having a little fun with him. I'm cruel, I know. Okay back to the story}
Phoebe and Gerald blushed, holding each other tightly. Just as they were about to kiss. Lila rushed it. "Oh I'm ever so sorry if I interrupted something [Gerald and Phoebe blush then reluctantly pull away from each other) I left my costume here and make-up too." Suddenly Rhonda barges in: "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! HOW DARE THEY DO THIS. I WON'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. I WANTED TO WIN. I SHOULD WIN. THIS ALL YOUR FAULT PHOEBE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED YOUR GAMES. BRINGING ALL MY HOPES UP FOR NOTHING!" complained Rhonda as she looked directly at Phoebe with hatred. Lila looked at Phoebe and Rhonda. "What's going on?" whispered Lila. Gerald gulped then took a step in front of Phoebe. (Isn't that cute? He loves his girlfriend a lot. (Gerald appears) Gerald: Huh? What's going on? Hey Phoebe is just a friend *blushes* Sure she is. *ha his blushing gives it away. Don't you think? *)

Gerald: Come on Rhonda, Settle down. Phoebe didn't know anything about this. None of us know what happen. No winner was announced, there was nothing on the card, all there was "Nobody" Sorry. I know how you feel, let's just chill and figure out everything together.

Lila and Rhonda: Okay!

Phoebe: Your right Gerald. There must be a logically reason for this. We just got to find out what.

Rhonda: Then what are we waiting for?

Everyone: Right! ~Gerald, Lila, Phoebe and Rhonda walk off together. ~

Sid And Nadine: We wanna help too! (So Sid and Nadine join the group as they try to investigate.)

Meanwhile..........


Helga is walking out of the bathroom, back in her regular outfit. Looking like she regular does except her hair is in a ponytail since, one of her bands broke while she was hurrying to change her clothes and stuff to make it in time to catch the winner's name. Helga starts running and bumps into someone. (*cough* Arnold). "Watch where your going! (Helga looks down and finds her blue eyes lost in the beautiful green eyes staring at her.) Arnold? Stay outta my way you Football head!" Helga pushes the person but they grab her and she falls to the floor with the person. In a few fast movements, the person was on top of her and it wasn't Arnold. (HaHa! I got ya. Didn't I? I was going to use Arnold but every story needs adventure and plot twist).

Helga POV:

I wanted to scream and I know I had to be strong. Patakis are not wimps, they're brave and winners. I glared at this boy, observing him. Now focusing, I can see that he has brown hair and his eyes were a darker green than Arnold's and held no warmth or love. I think he was little older than me. At-least he looked older. What did he want? Before I knew it, I fell to the ground and pain shot through my body. I bit my lip to keep from crying out but I was a little dizzy. The next thing I knew something heavy was on top of me. I looked up to see this boy was on top of me and struggled, trying to get him off of me by kicking and hitting him. He just looked at me and smirked, moving closer to my ear and whispered "i would stop struggling if I were you, I'm the one in control. Don't you want to be the winner?" Before I could stop myself, my eyes widened, and I felt goosebumps rising as, he drew nearer to me.

Helga: Get off! You pig! When I'll get free, you'll be sorry!
~ Helga tried to fight the guy on top of her, but she realized he was holding tightly to the floor. He was stronger but Helga wouldn't give up.

The Boy: That's not nice. I'm Derek by the way. I'm here to give you a message. ( his hand quickly shut down her dress and grabbed her locket then, pulled back). I'm only here to help you. I'm a friend. Your the winner of the Talent Show. Your perfect. And you shouldn't mess with me or get me angry. I can be a terrible enemy Helga, I can make you suffer much more than you do now! Much More!
~ Derek heard footprints and without warning kissed Helga. Helga gagged, trying to push him away. She tried biting his tongue but he darted it all around her mouth so, she wouldn't have chance. He held her so tightly, it was beginning to hurt Helga. Since Helga never been kissed this way, she was beginning moan but she tried to fight these new emotions, but failing miserly. A gasp is heard and Derek pulls way smirking. "Do you mind?").

Arnold POV

I been surprised two times in this Talent Show. One was Helga and the other was the announcement. There was no winner and the meant a lot of kids will be very angry and start to blame. This wasn't good, especially since everyone could get hurt and might even blame Phoebe and Phoebe is pretty sensitive to words and actions. I frown and then started up the stairs to the right to the stage when I heard a wheezing behind me. I don't know why but I jumped slightly as Brainy appeared in front of me. "Brainy?" I mutter as I stare at him, he looked miserable. " Arnold *weeze* I found *weeze* you I need *weeze* your help *weeze* Go find Helga *weeze* She's near *weeze* bathroom. She's in trouble." Brainy explained then I heard a sound and turned around. When I turned back t the spot Brainy was, he wasn't there. That creeped the hell out of me. I wondered what can off danger Helga could be in and how Brainy knew. And if she's in danger then, why is the one looking practically dead. I shook with worry. I hope Helga was all right. It wouldn't hurt to check now, would it? I ran. I didn't know I cared so much about the Helga, that basically hates me. I don't know why though.
Finally, I'm almost there. I thought as I ran through the halls. I'm coming Helga. Then I practically screamed and gasped. Helga was there all right and she was being kissed by some boy. He was on top of her and holding way too tightly and kissing her. My body froze. I wanted to move and leave them to privacy, but something didn't feel right about the two. I felt sick. I should leave so why won't my feet move? I gulped and gasped loudly and this time, it looked like it got the boy's attention cause he turned to me. His eyes looked so cold, it give me chills. I backed away.

Derek: Do you mind? *smirks* (Helga whimpers and looks at Arnold)

Arnold: (gasp) *blushes* I'm sorry, I should go. (Arnold tries to leave but made the mistake and looked at Helga. His green eyes met with her eyes and he saw fear. Arnold never saw Helga afraid before and he didn't like it.) Helga, are you okay?

~ Helga looks at Arnold. ~ Helga: Arnold!

Derek: Yes Arnold. Just go! Pretend you saw nothing. You don't care about this bully who bugs you and call you names. (he looks at the locket and looks back at Helga, sensing and seeing her longing and love for Arnold in her eyes, begging him to stay with her, to save. Derek chuckled and glared at Arnold. Arnold gulped and took a few steps nearer to Helga and Derek.)

Arnold: I can't leave. Helga, I can't leave you! All right, what do you want?
(Derek smiled and got off of Helga and shoved her. She cried out in pain and before Arnold could go to her, Derek grabbed him. )

Derek: I want her! She's perfect and it's not like anyone would notice she's gone or even noticed her beauty. I'll take her off your hands. She's just a sick girl and you hurt her more than I did. (Arnold eyes widen)

Arnold: What are you talking about? People will miss Helga. Just Stop it! Just give her back.

Derek: I give her back as soon as I take her most treasured possession. (Arnold looks at Derek, confused then turns his gaze on Helga who's shaking and waking up.)

Derek: You Arnold, I need you to get what I want from Helga. Why do you care? If you truly want to save her, you can take her place.

Helga: Nooooooo! Arnold, don't do it. I'm not worth it. No, Arnold, I can't lose you!
~Arnold averted his gaze from Helga and nods his head. Derek smirks and lets go of Arnold, watching him go over to Helga and embrace her.

Arnold holds Helga. She bruised from being shoved, struggling, and being held so tightly by Derek. "Come on Helga. Everything going to be okay, I'll take care of you." Whispers Arnold as tears escapes his eyes. Helga looks at him brightly "I lov..." Before, Helga could finish Derek grabbed Arnold. " A deal is sealed. Come my slave." Arnold and Derek vanish and Helga is left crying. "No, come back! Why are you such a goody-goody? murmurs Helga then she realizes her locket is gone and screams. Slowly Helga gets up and weakly shouts "Noooooooo!" And faints.
Hearing Helga's cry. Gerald, Phoebe, Rhonda, Lila, Nadine, and Sid run over in the hallway. A bruised Helga was on the floor with a tear-streaked face. Phoebe rushed over to her and hugged her. Gerald, Sid, Nadine, and Phoebe lifted Helga and carried her gently to the Nurse Office. "Arnold, please save Arnold!" Helga murmurs in her sleep. Everyone looks at Helga in shock. What was going on? Was going through their heads.
