Ash's Note: Alright, alright, I forgot to tell you I had this idea
WAAAAAAAY back as a sequal to the story Not So Bad. The difference to the
HA version to the original, no one is in love in the real one. Besides,
this is too good of an idea to me to waste as a sequal! READ ON!
Disclaimer: Don't. Own. Jack. Squat!!!!!!!!!!!! I adverted words to the songs but that doesn't make them mine. It's not me it's you belongs to Simon and Milo and I'm just a kid belongs to Simple plan. I adverted the words to Simon and Milo's song but not a lot, only enough to make sense to go with the story.
"Hey Arnold! Hey Arnold! Hey Arnold!" The alarm clock chanted. Arnold pulled the switch and crawled out of bed, Gerald fell out of the couch as his pillow hit his face.
"No man! I don't wanna go to school! Can we try playing hookie again?" Gerald pleaded, but Arnold pointed to a picture Stinky gave them of the school carnival they had missed. "Nevermind..." ~~~~~
"Hey girls!" Gerald greeted Helga and Pheobe, stretching the world 'girls' out as they approached the boys waiting at the bus stop. Helga looked up at them with a smirk, her hair up and the distant look seemed gone forever.
"Hello Geraldo." Helga replied. Everyone stared at her.
"Did you call him Geraldo?" Arnold asked, Helga nodded in equal astonishment. Arnold chuckled and added. "Welcome back Helga."
"So, what did you do yesterday before the Blockapalooza?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, Gerald insisted we get ready AEAP (As Early As Possible) for our 'appearences'. He insisted we look 'fly for the ladies.'" The girls giggled as Arnold raised an eyebrow in an attempt to look like Gerald as Gerald gave a smirk that he called the Players Smirk. Arnold groaned. "Come on Gerald, I have no idea why puberty chose to let you go first on hormones, we always ended up going through things together, why did this have to be different?"
"That's because you're gay man!" Gerald replied, the girls laughed harder.
"No I am not! Remember what I said when we saw Helga in that two piece black bik....ini? oops....." Suddenly Anrold stopped, along with the other three who was staring at him with differnt looks. Gerald looked amused, Phoebe looked shocked, Helga looked embarressed. So was Arnold. "Well yeah, I complimented her on nice choice of outfit..."
"No way man! You were all, 'DAAAAAAAANG! Is that Helga? Daaaaang, she fine! She got one good looking bo-day! And Gerald look at dat fiiiiiine shape and bust! All the right places....'" Gerlad doubled over laughing and had to hold on to a street sign to keep him up. Arnold was trying to pretend he hadn't heard anything.
"Sooooo, what did you do Helga?" Phoebe asked. Helga coughed as she tried to lose her blush Geralds laughing accumilated and replied.
"Awful, my parents are totally better now after they found out I saved the house. But before that it was like..." She jerked over for some strange reason. They heard a faint sound of music somewhere. She looked confused and continued. "It was lik-" Suddenly they heard music the music blast around them. Helga was just as confused till she began singing.
"*I woke up it was seven, I waited till 11 just to figure out that no one would call.*" Helga sang. Gerald stopped laughing as he, Arnold, and Phoebe stared at Helga in confusion, who was doing a few cool moves that even Gerald couldn't get on the first try. "*I think I got a lot of friends, but I don't hear from them, what's another night all alone? When your spending every night on your own! And here it goes!*" Suddenly Helga jumped and landed wearing a mid drift tube top and a pair of jeans that bagged around the legs. Her hair was down and flowed straight down to her mid chest. She held a electric guitar which she began playing.
"*I'm just a kid and my life is a nightmare! I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair! Nobody cares because I'm alone in the world and the world is having more fun than me! Tonight.*" She was creating a scene and Arnold, Gerald and Phoebe watched, amazed that she could sing, dance and play. Even though they knew she didn't know much about playing guitar.
"*And maybe when the night is dead, I'll crawl into my bed, staring at these four walls again, I'll try to think of the last time, I had a good time, everyone has somewhere to go. And there gonna leave me here on my own! And here it goes!*
"*I'm just a kid and my life is a nightmare! I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair! No body cares because I'm alone in the world and the world is having more fun than me!*
"*What the hell is wrong with me! I don't fit in with anybody! How did this happen to me! Wide awake I'm bored and can't fall asleep! And every night is the worst night ever!*
"*I'm just a kid......I'm just a kid......I'm just a kid.....I'm just a kid......I'm just a kid....I'm just a kid! And my life is a nightmare! I'm just a kid and I know that it's not fair! No body cares cause I'm alone in the world and no body wants to be alone in this world!*
"*I'm just a kid....I'm just a kid! And my life is a nightmare! I'm just a kid and I know that it's not fair! No body cares cause I'm alone in the world and nobody wants to be alone in this world! (x2) No body cares cause I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me, tonight! I wanna rock, tonight! No body cares tonight! Cause I'm just a kid, tonight!!!*"
Everyone stared, Helga's new clothes stayed as the audience she created left. The gutiar still in hand.
"How'd you do that? Why'd you do that?" Arnold asked. Helga just looked at them with the same bewildered stare.
"I have no idea...." She was gonna drop the guitar when she strapped it to her bag. She'll try to see if she could play it later. "Now where'd my real clothes go?"
They looked around till they heard the bus advancing towards them. They walked up just as the bus pulled over and opened.
"Hey Murry." Gerald greeted as Murry gave him a high five. He had changed departments after he and Moana got married and are having a little baby soon, MJ. M standing either way.
"Ooooooh! Look it's Arnuld and Hellll-ga! Kissy, kissy!" Harold taunted as they sat down, Gerald and Phoebe had rushed to their own personal seat leaving Helga and Arnold to sit together.
"Ooooh! Look it's Haaaar-old! Munchy, munchy!" Helga replied in her Harold voice pretending to chug one of those foot-long club sandwiches, everyone even Arnold laughed. "Look now he'll go, 'WAHHHHH! MO-O-O-OMMY!'"
"No!" Harold replied. Then began crying and ran off the bus. "DA-A-A- ADDY!"
Everyone laughed harder. Helga sighed, it felt good to say something mean after so long. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arnold and Gerald were walking down the halls of PS 118 and were talking about Simmons.
"Man, he just keeps thinking things are really special when they aren't! I mean come on, it didn't bother me, but talking about Mickey Kaline about being a 'special retired baseball player who couldn't compete with Nick Saguire' is just crossing the line." Arnold huffed. Gerald laughed. "It's almost disturbing, like the time I saw Curly wearing tights and dancing the lambada..."
"I'm telling you man! I'm starting to think your gay!" Gerald doubled over again remembering the Helga incident at the bus stop.
"Your annoying me Gerald." Arnold warned, leaning against his locker, arms crossed over his chest and a leg bent upwards and resting on his locker behind him.
"Right, right, right." Gerald replied and regained composure just to double over again. Anrold sighed as Gerald saw a pair of green high heeled shoes between his legs.
"Arnold, check it out! Lila, 6:00." Gerald told him standing straight. Arnold looked over Geralds shoulder to see Lila and a hoard of boys and a janitor with a mop cleaning the drool.
"Yeah, and?" Arnold asked, for some reason, Lila felt like yesterdays news to him, which technically, she was. Gerald looked stunned.
"You say your not gay, but one of the hottest girls in school, the one you've been DESPERATLEY PINING after is comming your way, and you don't care? Your just asking for some more humiliation right?" Gerald asked. Arnold shook his head.
"I guess I'm tired of being shot down." He told her. Suddenly he felt a jerking inside. He bent over like something inside was pulling him down as music began to play faintly. He straightened and looked at Gerald, who was as confused as he was. Then he felt the jerk again as the music blaired.
"Oh no man, somethings gonna happen to you like what happened to Helga!" Gerald said just as Arnold jumped and his outfit changed. He was wearing his normal clothes except now his shirt was green like his eyes and the buttons were broken and it was opened showing a nice toned stomach and chest, and his blue jeans were slightly tight and form showing. He had one of those ghetto bowler type hats on too that he now was using to cover his face. (Hoooooot! Bunni I'm sorry, but it's my turn to start clinging to some arms! Again, HOOOOOOOT! /\__~)
"*I recall the way she said to me, stuffily, gallently, it's not me it's you. And I remember just how she dropped my hand, then she ran! It's not me it's you. Seems like the old equations holding true, one from two, equals blue and nice guys always lose.*" He jumped up and began some choreography that a crowd, mainly girls, crowded to watch. "*First we're stuck like glue, than you say we're through, and all that you can say to me is it's not me it's you. HEY!*"
"*It's not me it's you! Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na, na na na! It's not me it's you!*" Rhonda, Sheena, Nadine, and Phoebe who was also watching began to sing.
"*I can see the day she made me pay, walked away, heard her say, it's not me it's you. And how could I forget how her name was signed, dotted line, it's not me it's you. Shaired a brain like you, relationships take two, but all that you can say to me is it's not me it's you, hey!*"
"*It's not me it's you! Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na, na na na! It's not me it's you! It's not me it's you! Na na na na na na na na na na na! It's not me it's you!*" The four girls sang, they didn't know what song they were singing, but they didn't mind, it was fun. Arnold didn't mind niether he was dancing some great choriography and the girls were enjoying it, even two others who you would think last would watch.
"*Isn't life a game of cut and blow, girls talk high, boys talk low. It's not me it's you! Voices ring and that goes pyscho show, that mean flow, now sing low. It's not me it's you! Prophocy come true! Message comming through! Click on ICQ! Starting words of love denied are- It's-It's- It's-It's!*"
"*It's not me it's, it's not me it's, it's not me it's you!*" (x4)
He did one last move and returned to his starting postitiong with the hat over his face. The girls suddenly screamed as they tried to bombard him, he was going to be a goner when a hand grabbed him. He saw Gerald and everyone else dissapear from view as his savior rushed him down into a janitors closet.
"Thanks." Then he became really phreaked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Brainy what are you doing here?!?!" Ashley screamed as she jumps off her chair.
::Wheeze, wheeze::: "Uh...".::Wheeze:: "I dunno..."
"Whatever Brainy, just don't do that again! Anyway, see you next chapter!" Ashley waves at you but before you press the back button she screams. "Sorry, but, please review! I just want maybe five or more reviews, I like comments, no matter how long...-__-; God I'm desperate..."
::Wheeze:: "Uhhh, yeah..." ::Wheeze.::
::Back punches Brainy, who becomes uncouncious.::
