Back to the Past

Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold and um I hope you enjoy this fic. I had a sudden inspiration. R+R.

The kids of PS118 where all excited about a talent show. Everyone was entering. Arnold,Gerald,Sid,Harold,and Stinky were doing N'sync's song Girlfriend. Lila,Rhonda,Sheena,and Nadine were doing Destiny's Childs song No No No. Phoebe was going to play the piano. Helga surprisingly was going to do Mary J. Blidges' song No More Drama. Everyone was in shock when they heard what she was doing. "Gosh I could never imagine Helga singing a purdy sad song." Stinky said. "I know I mean I always thought that the talent she had was punching people out."Sid said. Then they all laughed. Phoebe who was also somewhat shocked asked Helga "Why are you doing this song?" Helga then calmly said "I know you must have thought that I would have done a rock song or something but I wanted to really express the real me." Phoebe understood what she meant. She knew all Helga had been through. From the abandonment from her parents to the fear of losing Arnold. "Well I hope you do great." she said. "Thanks Pheebs I really needed that." she replied. So Helga started to walk home. She stopped by the local market and bought the new issue of Preteen Miss. This time Mrs.Johansen didn't have to call for a price check. So afterwards Helga ran all the way home and locked herself in her room. She then tried to see if she could this time be successfully make herself look beautiful. (2 hours later) She heard a pounding on the door "Helga get down here now!" said Big Bob. "O.k. ok.!" she replied. So Helga walked downstairs. It appeared to be dinnertime. As soon as she walked in Mirium said "Oh hi there do we know you?" Helga was shocked that her own mother couldn't recognize her. "Must be one of the girls little friends." Big Bob said. "My you're looking pretty today young lady." she said. Then Helga couldn't help but laugh and say "Oh my gosh are you 2 blind it's me Helga!" They both looked at her. "No wait you can't be Helga she had a unibrow and she was a lot less prettier." Mirium said. "Uh duh mom it's called a makeover." she said. Then Helgas' mom fainted and Big Bob was surely suprised that he actually called her the right name for once. Helga than prepared for school tommorow. The next day she woke up put the right makeup on and wore the same dress. She wondered what would everyone elses reaction would be. When she got to school that day people stared at her shocked. They couldn't help but stare. They were all speechless. Rhonda was mad cause she wasn't getting any attention. But Helga couldn't help it but to smile. It came to the day of the talent show. Although Helga had the voice and beauty she didn't have the clothes. So she and Phobe went to the mall. She found the most perfect out-fit. It was a light pink shirt that said Drama Queen and sparkly pants that are light blue with a spread of light pink. Phobe just bought a kimono

which sort of is a nightgown with a corsit around it. It was blue and red. So then Phobe and Helga got a ride to school and changed. Helga kept her hair down. Phobe put it in a bun. Both applied make-up. Helga put on pink blush,light and glitterly pink eyeshadow,and pink lipstick. Phobe put red blush,sparkly red eye shadow.and red lip stick. As soon as they got out of the girls bathroom they both looked like dreams. The talent show was about to start. "The first and very special performance from Arnold,Sid,Stinky,Gerald,and Harold.

Arnold: Would you be my girlfriend? Would you be my girlfriend? I like you, right. Would you be my girlfriend?

Gerald: I don't know why you care. He doesn't even know name, no. Cause he don't love your eyes. And he don't love your smile, Girl you know that ain't fair.

Stinky: Middle of the night is he gonna be by your side. Or will he run and hide.

Sid: You don't know cause things ain't clear. And baby when you cry is he gonna be by your side.

Harold: Does your man even know you're alive? I got and an idea.

All: Why don't you be my girlfriend? I'll treat you good. I know you hear your friends say you should cause if you were my girlfriend. I'd be your shining star. The one to show you where you are girl you should be my girlfriend.(mintues later) My girlfriend.

Everyone gave a standing ovation for them. "Now wasn't that an oh so special performance?" Mr. Simmons said. "Now give a big welcome to Lila,Rhonda,Nadine,and Sheena.

Lila:Boy I see you want me I can see it in your eyes. But you keep on frontin won't you say what's on your mind?

Rhonda: Cause each and everytime you need me you give me signs.

Nadine: But when I ask you what's the deal you hold it all inside. If you wanna be with me you gotta keep it real.

Sheena:Tell me what's going on

Tell me how you feel

Cuz boy I know you want me

Just as much as I want you

So come and get my love

It's all here for you

All:You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah(mintues later) No No No

Everyone gave a moderate clap. They didn't really like the song. They knew it was old. Next Phobe went. "Good Luck Phobe" Gerald said. She blushed because she could tell Gerald thought she looked beautiful. She got out on stage and said "I'm going to play on the piano Alicia's Keys Fallin but I'm not singing." So she started to play and the audience sang to the melody "I I I keep on fallin in and out of love with you. I I I never loved someone way that I love you!" When she was done she also got a standing ovation. Then it was Helga's turn. She was the last performer. "Oh great Helga the horrible's next." said Sid. But he was shocked once she got on to the stage. Everyone was shocked to see how beautiful she was. So then she started to sing in a really good voice " So tired, tired of this drama(in the middle of the song)When you let go

Avoid these drama in your life

Now you're free from all the pain

Free from all the game

Free from all the stress

So bye your happiness

I don't know

Only God knows where the story is

For me, but I know where the story begins

It's up to us to choose

Whatever we win or loose

And I choose to win

No more pain (no more pain)

No more game (tired of your playin' game with my mind)

No drama (no more drama in my life)

No more, no more, No more, no more

No more tears (no more tears, no more cryin every night)

No more fears (no more waking be up in the morning)

No drama, no more in my life. When she was done people were silent for a moment then they started to clap and they stood up. Some even whistled. They gave her a standing ovation. So afterwards everyone went home. As she walked home she just thought of how people actually thought she was great. Until she bumps into someone. "Arnold!" she said. "Uh hey Helga." he said. Then she slapped herself and said "Watch where you're going football-head. Usually Arnold would just walk away but this time he snapped "Helga what is your problem!" Helga looked at him with fear then she ran away. Arnold walked back to the boarding house frustrated. Then he made a wish before he went to bed. "I just wish I could talk to another person who's going through the same thing I'm going through just once I would like to know I'm not the only one going through this and maybe Helga would learn something." So then he drifted to slept and the next day he woke up to her another little boy. "Hey you football headed kid what are you doing in my bed!" Arnold woke up and saw that he wasn't in his room anymore. He was in his grandpa's room when he was a little boy. He then heard a scream. It was Helga and she was shocked. She then yelled "What did you do football head!" Arnold hesistated but then said "I think I wished us into the past!" They both stared at each other than they both screamed.
