Okay, I bought all the rights to Hey Arnold and am going to sue the shit out of all of you!! Just kidding, I own nothing.
Note: Sorry Lila didn't pop up last time like I said she would, but she's in this one! Oh and if anyone would like to see the picture I drew of Helga and Phoebe as they are in my story, just leave your email in a review.
Chapter 5
Her shoulder length red hair swayed side to side against her as she made her way down the street toward Sunset Arms. Her green tank top accented her matching green flip-flop sandals. Along with her normal pair of blue jeans. She reached the front steps and smiled.
'It's okay Lila; Arnold will beg to have you back! It's okay, just smile and he will be putty once again and you can clean up your reputation.' Lila said to herself. She took a big breath and pressed the doorbell. The door open to find an old woman dressed in a tribal outfit of some African tribe. Lila knew enough about Arnold to know this was his grandma, even though she never met any of his family.
"Good Evening, may I please talk to Arnold?" Lila said with a sugary smile and tilted her head to the side.
"Ahhh yes, a virgin for my sacrifice!" Grandma called out and Lila's eyes bugged out! "Oh no wait!" Grandma said and looked Lila up and down, "My mistake, I thought I found one."
"What? What are you implying?" Lila said in an angry voice. Grandma took no note of this.
"Kimba is upstairs!" Grandma said and walked off to put the animals in war paint. Lila scowled at the backhanded comment and made her way up to Arnold's room, which she been once or twice after their dates. She hoped this all worked out, she was getting the worse kind of rumors spread about her?
"YOU WHAT?" Arnold said looking at Helga. "You can't be serious! How long?"
Helga twiddled her hair in her fingers and looked at it as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. Arnold was just leaning next to her with his mouth hanging open. Helga could kick herself in the ass for putting herself in this situation. "Well, not that long, only really since what, kinder garden?'
Arnold's eyes rolled up and he fell back on the bed. Helga sat up and looked at him. She called his name a few times. No response, she crawled over. He had fainted.
"What the hell? What kind of guy faints? Shit!" Helga said and slumped down next to Arnold. She rested her head on his chest. "Ahhhh, how long has this been my dream? Well at least when he is asleep I am not so nervous."
Helga's dream state was broken by the knock on the door. She panicked. How was she going to explain herself up here and Arnold passed out? She quickly grabbed a class of water off of Arnold's bed stand and splashed him with it. He stirred and fluttered his eyes. He awaken to the sight of a very nervous Helga and the sound of knocking.
"How long have I been out?" Arnold said rubbing his head. Helga helped him sit up.
"You only had been out for about a minute you wuss!" Helga said. Arnold looked to see she didn't look too happy about him passing out; he put on a sheepish grin. She gave up her scowl and smiled back. The knocking came again.
"Not now Grandpa! I am busy!" Arnold yelled at the door. He then turned back to Helga and put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a loving grin. The knock came again. Arnold growled. "NOT NOW WHO EVER IT IS!"
"Arnold! It's me! Lila!" the voice chimed from behind the door. Arnold froze. "Please Arnold, we need to talk about us. I think I made a mistake."
Helga's heart felt like it fell into a pit of despair again. 'What? I thought she was gone?' Helga thought to herself. She was so close, why did Lila have to come back and want to get back together with Arnold. Why? Helga looked up to Arnold and saw that last thing she expected to see. He was shaking.
"You okay?" Helga said. Arnold nodded a 'no' and Helga grew even more concerned.
"I don't even want to talk to her, she hurt me so bad. I just want her to leave." Arnold said, he was on the verge of tears.
"Then just tell her to go." Helga said and patted him on the back. He sniffled a bit and raised his head.
"Lila, just please go away!" Arnold said with all his might. Helga smiled and felt her heart begin to lift.
"Arnold, no. Please, we need to get back together. You are the only one for me and I know I am the only one for you. We belong together." Lila said through the door. Lila felt bad for lying, but she had no choice.
"What? What a little twit!" Helga said, "Can you believe her, doing that to you then saying you couldn't be with anyone else." Arnold looked up at Helga, she was such a pillar of strength, and he wished he could have her courage sometimes. Then again, she wasn't brave enough to tell him that she loved him for years till now. Helga turned to Arnold with a devilish grin on her face. "Want me to get rid of her?"
"How?" Arnold said, he didn't like Lila, but he didn't want Helga to kill her. "Promise no violence?"
"Promise!" Helga said with an angelic smile. Arnold had a bad feeling about this, but nodded a slow yes. Before he knew it Helga stood up and ripped the covers from his bed under him. Amazingly, she pulled it so fast he didn't fall off, like the tablecloth trick. She threw the comforter over him. "Keep under that!" she snapped. He did so. Helga then took off her shirt, her back was to Arnold, but still shocked him.
"What are you doing?!" Arnold said. Helga gave him an angry 'hush' signal and then wrapped the sheet from the bedding around her self. Arnold watch as she kicked out her PJ bottoms from under the sheet. His mind was racing in excitement and fear.
"Okay then!" Helga said. She finally let her hair out of it's ponytail and messed it up with one of her hands, the other hand was clutching to the sheet for dear life. No way was she going to give Arnold a free show of her parading around in only her panties. She then made her way to the door.
Lila smiled as she heard the lock snap and the doorknob turn. Arnold was always a sucker, sweet, but a sucker. The door opened and Lila's jaw almost hit the ground. There in front of her stood a beautiful blond girl wrapped only in a sheet, her hair a mess, and a wicked smile on her face.
"Criminey Lila, can't you take a hint when somebody tells you they are busy?" Helga said and let out light chuckle. Lila was lost for words, but managed to choke out a few.
"Who are y..yo…you!?" Lila said and looked to see Arnold in the bed. She couldn't tell if he was undressed or not, he had the covers up to his chin. The girl in front of her leaned on the doorframe and crossed her arms.
"I always knew you were a little slow, but I thought it was obvious who I am. I am Arnold's new and improved girlfriend. But I think you will remember as Helga G. Pataki." Helga said, her voice had spilled into it's sarcastic tone. Lila nearly fell down the stairs after hearing her name.
"HELGA?" Lila screamed. She couldn't believe Helga the bully was now a blond bombshell. But she could see the attitude shining through. Helga raised one of her arms and grabbed the door.
"Yes, yes, yes. I know, you can't believe how I have grown, blah blah blah. But as you see I am very busy with Arnold and can't be held up any longer. Goodbye!" Helga said and with that she slammed the door in Lila's face. She had waited years to do that, it felt better then she imagined. Lila was still standing there for a minute trying to figure out what happened before she walked back down the stairs. Helga had been listening and waiting for her to leave before she spoke.
"WE DID IT!" Helga said and jumped over to the bed where Arnold lay. He had covered his head with the covers. She sighed, figuring he was mad or sad about what happen to Lila. "Arnold, it's okay, it's better this way, she would have hurt you again, you did the right thing, now come out of there."
"No!" Arnold replied and pulled the cover tighter around his head. Helga growled.
"Come on Arnold, she is not even that good looking anymore!" Helga said yelling into the covers.
"It's not Lila!" Arnold replied and scooted away. Helga got puzzled and angry. She grabbed the cover rim and yanked it from Arnold's grasp. She then could see why he was hiding his face. He was as red as a tomato in a blush. His entire face and even ears were bright red with embarrassment. Helga laughed. "Why Arnold! What seems to be the problem!?"
"Helga that's not funny! Now put your PJs back on before someone else come to the door!" Arnold said.
'Oh this is too funny. Arnold here must be the same as me, even worse. Now do I be nice and do as he says or do I be good ole' evil Helga?' Helga thought to herself and snickered. Now that Arnold knew that she really liked him, there was really now way of teasing him by taunts or insults. So this could be fun. "Arnold!" Helga cried out and set into a set of fake tears, "How could you!? Here I am baring myself to you and no other man, and you reject me!" She started up a set of fake sobs and threw herself down on the bed beside him.
"Helga! That's not it!" Arnold stammered and turned to face her. His heart stopped. If it wasn't enough to kissing Helga on his bed, now she was almost completely naked with only a sheet wrapped around her. The sheet he would be sleeping with tonight, his mind was lost in the thought. He knew to handle the situation, he would have to calm her down quickly. He wrapped one arm around her crying form and then used the other one to wipe away her hair. She was so beautiful, even crying.
"Oh Arnold, why am I never good enough!?" Helga burst out and then threw her arms around Arnold's shoulders. He chocked up.
'Okay. Helga in a sheet laying on you bed with you and clinging to you. What the hell am I suppose to do?' Arnold thought to himself. Sure he liked the turn of events, but this was way too fast. He needed a way out before he let himself get in too far. Suddenly he heard his savior. His phone rang.
"Phone!" Arnold yelled and dived over Helga to get it. In the process he fell off the bed and took Helga with him. He pulled himself up from the floor and grabbed the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Arnold!" Gerald's voice called out on the other end. " I just had the weirdest thing happen to me and I got something I got to show you! I am on my cell in the car, I'll be over there in a minute okay?" Arnold almost gagged on his own spit trying to say 'no', but nothing would come out. All Gerald could hear is choking noises and assumed Arnold was being funny again. "Alright, man, well I'll be over in a second, you live on till then man! Bye!"
"SHIT!" Arnold yelled out. Sure, he had wanted Helga to put her clothes back on, but he didn't want to end the night quite yet. He turned to she her laying in a mess of covers on the floor near his bed. "Helga! Gerald invited himself over, you got to get dressed!"
No answer from Helga. Arnold crawled over and poked her. She only let out a groan and went rolled over a bit more.
"Helga, no time to play around, you got to get dressed now!" Arnold said. He rolled Helga over.
"Oh look at all the birdies!" Helga said with her eyes rolled back and a huge bump on her head. She hit the nightstand on the way off the bed. She fluttered her eyes for a second before they closed and she went limp. Arnold tensed up.
"Helga come one! This is no time to pass out!" Arnold yelled at her in a nervous voice, but she was out. He began to panic, what was he going to do!? Then he heard the one thing he didn't want to hear. Through his open skylight he heard Gerald's might SUV pull up. "CRAP!"
'Okay okay Arnold, calm down.' Arnold thought to himself, 'You have to get Helga dressed. But she isn't awake, so you have to dressed her before Gerald comes up the stairs, but how am I am going to explain her being in here to Gerald? And I can't hide her somewhere, she'll wake up and stumble out. That would be even worse! What am I am going to do?!'
A knock at the door. "HEY ARNOLD OPEN UP MAN!"
