Unsuspected Surprises

There are times when you give up,
when you lost all hope and will despair
Suddenly the most amazing thing happens to you.
You find that you got a second chance
Either a new beginning or another nightmare.

-Helga Pataki


Helga's POV

I felt like I was in heaven. I was sleeping with Arnold, and I got to embrace him and he accepted the offer of affection. My eyes opened and widen as I observed my surroundings, A familiar music system and couch came into view. I was in Arnold's room, the only question now is how did I get here? I quickly gathered my things, actually I couldn't find anything of mine. Only my diary which was under the pillow, I was laying on. I tried to get up but I was too weak and collapsed back into the bed, my diary slipping from my hands. I turned my head since I couldn't move the rest of my body. My breath caught in my throat. My angel Arnold was sleeping near me. His hair was all messy and a blonde strands were covering his beautiful face, his lips were parted slightly as he breathed in and out as he slept contently. His blue cap was missing though. Strange! He carries that cap everywhere with him since it's always on his head. Taking a deep breath and clearing my thoughts, I stared at Arnold once again and leaned in closer so I could get a better view of perfection. My lips press softly against his forehead.
His body stirs and his eyes twitch as if they about to open. Crimney, what have I done? I just couldn't let the opportunity pass, I had to touch him. My thoughts are interrupted as a soft moaning is heard. My eyes dart over to Arnold and he sighs in his sleep then wraps his arms around me, bringing me closer towards him. My eyes close and I fall back into my deep slumber, yearning for love and the glimpse of the emerald eyes I love in person without others, around to express my love to my desire. My mind is troubled but my heart is at peace being so close to Arnold's.

Meanwhile...............*Downstairs in the kitchen of the Boarding House*

Pookie was singing The National Anthem happily as she cooked dinner. Phil was reading the newspaper, comfortably sitting in his chair. To others, Phil was either a senile old man or the coolest grandpa ever. Things aren't often what they seem, although this seems like a normal day with a crazy Pookie and Phil at the table. It seemed like an ordinary day but something was afoot. Finally after a long period of silence from Phil, Pookie was still singing the anthem and other songs. "Pookie, the Shortman and his little friend were outside freezing, they were innocuous when I found them. They may have caught ammonia, the weirdest thing about it, is Shortman's little friend seemed more affected by the cold then he was. *chortles* It seems things are coming together, earlier than we thought." concluded Phil. Pookie smiled "Just in time for the holidays." Pookie mutter as she seemed to lose herself in the moment. They smiled at each other contently and laughed merrily. They both became quiet. Phil finally breaking the silence, he uttered "I better go check on them." Pookie nodded and give him two mugs filled with hot cocoa then, continued her singing and dancing around the kitchen. Phil shook his head and with the two mugs in his hands, he walked upstairs.

Arnold's POV:


I was having a nice dream. My parents were in the distance, smiling at me, they had fluffy white wings. I had wings as well and I soared over to them. They grinned and embraced me. I was completely happy, in this place, I had my parents and was at peace in harmony one and for all. Then I looked around me and saw buildings of gold and silver upon the clouds. I must be in heaven, I thought. That wasn't even the best thing in my dream. In the middle of my golden city, there stood a beautiful angel. She had long golden hair, some of it covered her eyes. The eye that shone seem to be a shade of blue, it reminded of a jewel, the Sapphire. She was wearing a long silver gown. She smiled at me and I blushed. I let go of my parents and I walked toward her. As I did, the dream turned for the worse. My parents vanished and each step I took closer, to the angelic beauty before me, she seemed to move farther away. Her face was hard to make out now, I wanted to get a closer look, for she seemed familiar. Suddenly the angel burst into flames and it destroyed the entire city that's when I realized my parents were gone. I cried out, but no one answered me. A ball of fire was advancing towards me, and I tried to dodge it, but I couldn't do it in time. I felt the heat burning my skin.
