New Beginnings New Friendships

Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold and I hope y'all like this story. Enjoy!

Helga then looked around. She then said calmly "Arnold may I ask how you wished to the past?" Arnold was afraid she was going to pound him but he said "I sorta got frustrated when I got home and I made a wish." Helga was so afraid now. She could see that her bullying was going to far that she was pushing Arnold away (literally). Arnold and Helga walked around the house.

Arnold could not believe how different everything looked in the house. But he did remember when his grandfather told him about Gertie and how she would always bother him. "Just like me and Helga!" he thought. So he knew he had to find his grandfather as a boy and become friends and possibly get some answers. Helga didn't know why she was there.

But somehow she knew that something good was going to happen to her during this time. "Hey you football head and unibrow girl!" Young Phil said. Arnold and Helga had to think up something. So Arnold knew he had to think of something."Um this is my sister Helga we need a place to stay,we were kicked out of our house by our parents." he said. "Well why didn't you say so let me go get my pa and we'll arrange something." he said. Helga looked at him "Sister?" she said. "Well it was the only thing I could think of." he said. Young Phil then came back with his father.

And gave Arnold and Helga a room. "So how old are you guys?" he asked. "We're both 9 it's sorta a tradition in our family." Helga said. "Well I suppose I can pay for you two to go to school." Phil's pa said. So Arnold and Helga stayed in the boarding house to live in. The room looked like it was suppose to be a superstar suite.

It had a big bed,a bathroom,a t.v.,journals,pens,pencils,desks, and a piano. "Whoa!" Arnold said. Helga immediatly went for the journals. She found the perfect one. It was glittery pink and on the journal cover it said My Thoughts My World. She opened it and started to write. Arnold went straight for the piano. He played some soft jazzy melodies. They loved the room except for the bed.

There was only one bed. But luckily there was about 8 pillows. So they put six straight down the middle of the bed leaving one for each of them. It was dinnertime for the boarders and surprisingly the dinner was a turkey with mash potatos,corn,cranberry sauce,gravy,and rasberries. It was a feast that Arnold and Helga had never seen in their lives. "Uh that was a great dinner honey (grumble) oh would you all please excuse me and never eat rasberries!" Young Phil's pa said.

So it was true that the only advice giving to Phil was Never eat Rasberries. Arnold and Helga went back to their room. All was quiet until there was a knock at the door. It was Phil's mother. "Oh heavens child you look so beautiful." she said to Helga. "Um thank you I guess." she replied. "Oh but it seems that your parents didn't let you kids pack any clothes. Well Phil's clothes should fit you and little girly I have the perfect outfit for you." she exclaimed.

She got out a dress that was glittery pink. It wasn't puffy,it wasn't long,and it wasn't too short. The dress length was above her knees. "Oh we have to do something to your hair." she said. So she took down her pig tails and let it fall down behind her back. She then put some hair clips in her hair. They were pink butterflies. Helga then said "Wow you're really amazing!" Phil's mother then said "Well child I always dreamed of having a girl for a child but since you're here I can let you wear this stuff. There now you look marvelous."

Helga looked at herself she was beautiful. Phil's mother actually got rid of the unibrow. Arnold then came back and said "Oh hi are you new here?" Helga and Phil's mother laughed. "Heavens boy this is your sister." she said. Arnold was shocked. Then Phil's mother got her a pink glittery nightgown. "Here this is for you to sleep in." she said. "It's beautiful." she replied. "So Arnold is it what did Phil give you to wear?" she asked. "He gave me these blue ovaralls and a white shirt." he said. "Then go try it on then boy." she said.

So he tried it on and when he came out he looked like any other boy in the city. "Now your brother is looking charming." she said. "I know he is." Helga replied. That night before Helga and Arnold went to sleep Helga wrote in her journal and Arnold played the piano. Then Helga turned off the reading light and got into bed. Arnold then stopped playing the piano and went to sleep. The next morning as Helga got ready for school she watched Arnold still asleep.

She sighed and then opened the door and went downstairs. "Well then how are you little lady?" Phil's mother asked. "I'm fine." Helga replied. "Now then where's your brother?" she asked. "He's still asleep." she said. "What do you want me to make you today. I could make you pancakes,eggs,biscuits,bacon,you name it. she said. "Um I guess I'll have 2 pancakes,a biscuit,and a sunny side up egg." she replied.

So Phil's mother started to cook. Arnold then awoke. He patted the bedside and noticed Helga was gone. He got ready and went downstairs. He saw Helga eating her breakfast. Phil then came down and said "Arnold are you excited about going to school today?" Arnold replied "Um I guess so." Phil then said "My your sister is a beauty." Arnold hesistated but he said "Yeah she is." So Arnold and Phil walked over to the breakfast table. "Well boys eat up Helga decided what all of us should eat today."Phil's mother said. "Um I thought I just decided for myself." she said. "Oh heavens no. Second one to get downstairs is the one to tell me what to cook for breakfast." she replied.

So after Helga,Arnold and Phil finished up breakfast they got their books ready for school. "Now just to tell you I should warn you about Gertie." Phil said. "Gertie? Who's Gertie? Helga asked. "Only about the meanest girl in the whole universe." he said. Arnold and Helga didn't say a word to each other after that comment. "Well when I met Gertie I thought she was nice but then she started to become mean." he said. So when they got to school Arnold and Helga walked to the front of the classroom. The teacher Ms.Weathers then said "Class this is Arnold and Helga. They are new to this school so please be kind." Arnold sat behind Phil and Helga behind Gertie. She noticed that Gertie would spit spitballs at Phil. "She's just like me!" she thought.

So what will happen when Helga talks to Gertie? What happens if Phil falls in love with Helga? Stay tuned for chapter 3.
