Hope

Somethings are unexpected,
Always by surprise.
Since you never seem to open your eyes.
But even when thing catch you by surprise.
Even you look with dim eyes.
Even your hope is gone.
With the one you love,
you belong.

Merry Christmas

-Helga Pataki


Ok, I decided to make the disclaimer at the beginning, so I can make the chapter longer.

Phoebe: Um Natasha?

Yes, Phoebe?

Phoebe: I think it'll be better if you be quiet now.

What are you trying to say?

Helga and Gerald: Shut your mouth, the readers want the story!

Oh! *blushes* On with the story, Hey and where is Arnold ( In a closet, not too faraway. "Guys, Guys, it's not funny anymore. Let me out!")


Emerald eyes stares at Helga with confusion. "Angel?" He rubs his eyes and his vision becomes clear. *In other words, he wakes up from his dreamlike state* "Who are you?" Arnold mutters as he observes Helga standing in front of him. His emerald eyes filled with confusion and delight for this person seems so familiar to him. Helga's mouth opens then closes for she doesn't know what to say. They stare at each other for what seems like forever till, the silence is broken by Phil yelling "Shortman come on down and bring your little friend, with ya. Dinner ready!" Startled, Helga backs away from Arnold. Arnold smiles at Helga and says "Um, what's your name? I'm Arnold." Helga taken by Arnold's innocent question, finally gathering enough courage, she utters "I already know your name. It's me Arnold." Emerald eyes meet Sapphire ones once again and stay there. Suddenly Arnold grins and embraces the flushed Helga. "Thank you, Helga." Arnold whispers as he grabs Helga's hand before she could protest and leads her downstairs to the kitchen where the boarders already seated, were starting to say grace.
Arnold leads Helga to a chair and as he takes the chair out for her to sit in. Helga snaps back to reality, and pushes Arnold out the way and sits down. To her surprise, Arnold just smiles at her and takes a seat right next to her. As Pookie sits at the table, Phil exclaims "All right, who wants to say grace?" Arnold emerald eyes lit up with mischief and he suggests "I think our guest, should say it." Everyone turns to Helga which makes her feel uncomfortable, and she shifts in her chair and blushes. Helga stands up and replies "Okay, I'll do it. Everyone hold hands and close your eyes. *As everyone does this, Helga tries to make a break for it, but realizes Arnold, is holding her hand and she begins her prayer* "This is holy day where we are thankful for what we have. And I'm very thankful for this day seems to be filled with miracles for I'm spending Christmas with you guys, getting to finally enjoy a Christmas, for this holiday started on a miracle so it should be filled with ones." As Helga finishes, everyones in tears and they say amen and ate the Christmas feast.
After dinner, Helga sings songs with Pookie as Phil plays the piano.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Bitzen and all the reindeer are pulling on the rein.
Bells are ringing, childen singing all is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your pray'rs, "Cause Santa Clause comes tonight."

here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Clause Lane!
He's got a bag that's filled with toys for all the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleighs- bells jingle jangl, what a beautiful sight!
Jump in bed, cover up your head, "Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!"

*I had to have something, good. I'm not sure if they even have a piano, but this is my story and I'm trying to make this Helga's best Christmas. * Then the boarders played Charades, then they all told jokes. Finally, it was time for opening presents. Everyone opened their presents, then Arnold realizes he lost his presents but Phil comes over and gives the bag of presents to Helga. So as Arnold looks around, he spots Helga with his presents and hugged her once again. Helga blushes and so does Arnold and they separate quickly. Arnold hands out his presents to everyone and Helga feels left out so she starts walking away. Arnold spots her in the act and runs over to her with, a package in hand. He smiles and hands the present to Helga as she stops, to look upon him. His emerald eyes meet with her sapphire ones. Arnold smiles and kisses Helga on the lips.
The kiss seems like an eternity, for both of them and they're completely at peace. As Arnold and Helga part, both of them are now, flushed. Arnold recovers more quickly and he smiles at Helga and mutters "Merry Christmas." He embraces Helga and lets her go, leaving her standing near the door. Slowly, Helga recovers and put her hands to her lips and smiles. She looks up and sees a mistletoe and her grin widens. Then Helga looks toward Arnold as he walks over to his grandparents and joins in their singing, of Christmas Carols. Helga smiles as she opens the door and leaves. As she walks in through the streets, a bright smile stays, on her face for she had the greatest Christmas ever. As she reaches home, she realizes she actually missed her family and as she opened her door. She realized she was missed as well as everyone, crushes her in a hug. For even though, her parents don't show it, they loved her and missed her. For on this special Christmas she realized she has a chance with Arnold and her family loves her as well. Winter does bring Miracles.


-The End



So how did everybody like it? I decided to end it early cause, I'm planning to make a special for Christmas soon.

Helga: What kind of crap was that?!

Gerald: Geez, I never thought I'll say this, but I agree with Helga. This ending was horrible.

It wasn't that bad *I look over story and frown*

It is very short, isn't it?

Arnold: I liked it.

Phoebe: I did too, even if it was short and simple

Helga: figures!

Anyway thank you for reading and hoped you enjoyed this story. And Happy holidays!
