Chelsey: "It has been a year after Jeff and I left the High School. I
didn't know that when it was Arnold and Helga's senior year, that Helga had
stopped talking to Arnold. And if Arnold got in Helga's way, he was to be
tormnted by Helga's bully mode. Arnold thinks he diserves it, which he
kinda does, but not all the time. They ignored each other for the whole
year.Were going to a reunion for juniors and seniors. Me and Jeff would see
Arnold, Helga, and everyone again now after 9 long years. Jeff and I were
going to try to get Arnold and Helga to become friends again, maybe even
more than just friends, well, you know what I mean. But Jeff had a plan all
figured out, I was suprised when he did his plan. I'll tell you about
it..."
(*Flashback*)
Jeff and Chelsey had entered the buildings of H.S. 118. Going into the halls of the school brought Chelsey and Jeff back to some sad and unforgetful memories.
Chelsey: "Doesn't this remind of what happened between Helga and Arnold on Our very last day?"
Jeff: "Yep, It was really sad, but we are going to get them together. Not just as Best Friends, but maybe to the point of getting Helga on the verge of telling Arnold her secret."
Chelsey: "Oh, really. How?"
Jeff; ' You'll see. Whatever I do, play along until I think it's time to have out my secret plan, then, take it serious. "
Chelsey: "OK, Jeff. Whatever you say."
They walked into the gym and saw that everybody was talking to each other and some music was playing in the background.
Chelsey: " C'mon Jeff, Let's find Arnold and Helga."
Woman: "Hi Chelsey, man it has been quite a while. It is great to see you again."
The woman wore a gray-blue suit and a long skirt to match it. She obviously wore contacts.
Chelsey: "Hi Phoebe. How are you doing?"
Phoebe: "Just fine. I work for N.A.S.A. now. The children are doing fine to."
Chelsey: "That's wonderful. How is Gerald?"
Phoebe: "Oh, he's around here somewhere. Have you seen Helga?"
Chelsey: "No I haven't. I'm looking for her and Arnold. Have you seen Arnold?"
Phoebe: " Yeah, look for Gerald, and you'll find him. Oh I'm happy about your winning tournement. That was one of the best games I have ever seen. I like tennis now. You've inspired me."
Jeff: "Yeah, well, she gets it from me."
Chelsey: " Ha ha... very funny Jeff, let's go find Helga. See ya later Phoebe."
Phoebe: "Bye take care!"
So Jeff and Chelsey tried to fine Arnold and Helga. Chelsey looked around and saw a girl with long blonde hair flowing down her back. She was wearing a pink dress and was very beautiful. She entered in the room, but when Chelsey tried to get over to her to say hi, a crowd of men surronded her, having diamond rings all in a little black box. They were trying to propose to her. Helga ignored them all and saw Chelsey trying to get her attention. Helga went over to Chelsey and said Hi.
*
Meanwhile, Jeff was looking for Arnold and Gerald. Jeff tried too find them, when he suddenly noticed someone at the punch bowl with an odd looking head. The man turned around. It was Arnold. Jeff saw Gerald walk up to him and decided to go up to them. Jeff went up to Gerald and Arnold and said Hi.
Jeff: "Hey Arnold, Gerald, it's great to see you again."
Arnold: "Jeff, is that you? Man you haven't changed."
Gerald: "Mmmmm.... I love your suit man. It's great to see you again."
Jeff: "I just saw Phoebe. Chelsey and I saw her upon entering the gym. She congradulated Chelsey on her Tennis Game."
Gerald: "That was a good game too."
Arnold: "Yeah, she was great."
Jeff: "Hey, I have something to show you. Can you keep this secret from Chelsey?"
Arnold and Gerald nodded their heads, and Jeff pulled out a black box and opened it. It had a diamond ring inside of it.
Arnold: "Wait a minute. Are you going to..."
Jeff finished his sentence.
Jeff: "Propose to Chelsey? That's exactly what I'm going to do. I hope she says yes. I've been in love with her ever since the 5th grade..."
Gerald: "Man I can't believe it. Oh, look there's Helga and Chelsey right now."
Arnold looked over at the entrance of the gym and saw Helga and Chelsey talking. You can tell Chelsey was talking about her winning Tennis Game just by her making stances and hand movements. Helga seemed really impressed. Helga took a quick glance at Arnold and back at Chelsey. Arnold wondered.
Arnold: "I wonder if I can ever tell her my true feelings for her. She still probably hates me for what I did to her our Junior year."
*
Helga had just entered the room, and suddenly, all of the boys that she new in Elementry School and High School have surrounded her. Everyone held out a box with a diamond ring inside it. Helga rejected everyone. Then she saw a girl waving at her, trying to get her attention. It was Chelsey! Finaly a familiar face.
Helga: "Hi Chelsey. Wow, it has been a long time, hasn't it?"
Chelsey: "Yep it sure has. Man, people are crazy if they think that they can ever win your love with some diamond ring."
Helga: "I hate it. People are taking me for what I look like and not what I am on the inside."
Chelsey: "I know. It is so cruel how people can be so narrowminded, not like Jeff and Gerald."
Helga: "Or Arnold."
There was a short pause.
Chelsey: "Do you still think about him Helga?"
Helga: "Of course I do, I can't get him out of my mind. Ever since I last saw you, when he kissed me... and he wanted to forget about it."
Chelsey looked at her sadly.
Chelsey: "Let's change the subject. Did you see me in my Tennis Tounament? I was great, wasn't I?"
Helga: "Of course I did. I thought you did great."
Chelsey started to explain what was happening. Helga was listening with such amazment. Then she looked over at the punch bowl real quickly, and saw Arnold with 2 other people. She looked away really quick.
Helga: " Oh no. There he is! He's looking at me. Why? I wonder if he'll ever know..."
Chelsey: "Hey look, There's Arnold, Gerald, and Jeff! Let's go say hi."
Helga: "I'm not going!"
Chelsey:" Oh, come on Helga, You have to face the music sometime."
Helga: sigh "Oh, Alright. Lets just get this over with."
Chelsey: "Great! Let's go!"
Chelsey and Helga headed toward the punch bowl and saw Jeff waiting there for them. Gerald and Arnold were shocked when they saw Chelsey and Helga.
Chelsey: "Arnold, Gerald, It has been a long time. I've missed ya'll so much!"
Arnold: "It's great to see you too Chelsey. I has been a long time, I am glad to see your doing well."
Chelsey: "Oh, Arnold. Such the Gentleman. You always knew how to act."
Gerald: "Hey, Chelsey, That was a great tournement."
Jeff: "She gets it from me."
Chelsey: Oh Jeff, be quite. You never know when to keep your mouth shut, do you?"
Jeff: "I'm sorry Chelsey, I was just playing."
Chelsey: sigh... "OK. Juat don't do it anymore. OK?"
Jeff: "OK."
Phoebe: "Hi everyone. Hi Helga!"
Helga: "Phoebe! It's been a long, long time."
Helga and Phoebe hugged each other for a very long time. They were about to burst into tears. They let go and started talking.
Phoebe: "I loved your last poem. It was beautiful."
Helga: "Thanks Pheebs. I do love writing poetry."
Jeff interupted everyone from talking. He took Chelsey by the hand and got down on one knee.
Chelsey: "Jeff, what are you doing?"
Jeff: "Chelsey, you'll never know how much you mean to me. I love you with all of my heart, and I want the whole world to know."
Chelsey: "Is this part of the plan Jeff?"
Jeff: "No. This is serious. You left me heart broken when you left Tennessee. I followed you here so I could be with you. I've loved you since the first day I met you. I guess I'll get to my point. Chelsey..."
Jeff pulled a small black box from his pocket and opened it up in front of her. It had a diamond ring in it.
Jeff: "...Will you marry me?"
Chelsey was shocked and was on the verge of tears and was ready to let them tumble. She closed her eyes and smiled a little smile. And then she looked straight into Jeff's eyes.
Chelsey: "That was the most sweetest thing, anybody has ever said to me. Jeff.... Yes, I will marry you."
Jeff was so happy he stood up and hugged Chelsey. Then after that embrace, Jeff looked into Chelsey's eyes and looked into them for a while. Then, Jeff dipped her down and kissed her. Everybody awed, because it was so special. Everyone was so shocked and happy for the two. Arnold and Helga were about to cry too. Gerald and Phoebe looked into each others eyes and kissed. Arnold and Helga were standing right beside each other and didn't even know it.
Arnold: "Wow! That must of took alot of courage to tell someone how you really feel about them, not knowing if you'll get rejected by the one you love and still taking a chance anyways, still afraid of what might happen."
Helga: "Yeah, I guess."
Chesey and Jeff came up to Gerald, Phoebe, Helga and Arnold and told them a few things.
Chelsey: Everyone, you are invited to our wedding. Helga, would you do me the honors of being my Bride's Maid?"
Helga: "Of course I would!"
Jeff: "Arnold, would you be my Best Man?"
Arnold: "Anything for a friend."
The reunion ended and everyone departed. Helga and Arnold were left all alone. They sat on the steps in front of H.S. 118 and they sat there very quitely. Suddenly, Helga got up and broke the silence.
Helga: "Well, I better be heading back to the hotel."
Arnold: "Wait Helga."
Helga stopped walking and turned around and looked at Arnold straight in the eye.
Arnold: "I'll take you."
Helga: "No Arnold, you don't have to."
Arnold: "But I want to."
Helga stood there gazing into his wonderful, caring green eyes.
Helga: sigh "OK, Arnold, whatever floats your boat."
He drove Helga to her appartment and then went to the boarding house to stay the night.
Arnold: "I'll tell the boarders what happened to Chelsey and Jeff tonight. I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to walk down the isle? Hopefully it will be with her."
Arnold went to a room, and laid on the bed and went to sleep.
Arnold: "Good Night, Fair Maiden."
*
Helga went up to her room and laid on the bed.
Helga: "Man what a night! I'm so happy for Chelsey and Jeff."
She paused and looked out the window. She looked at the moon, and it reminded her of Arnold. She lay back on her bed and blew a kiss to the moon.
Helga: "Good Night, Sweet Prince."
And she went to sleep. Having dreams about her wedding day.
Wow. I wonder were this leads Arnold and Helga? Find out in Chapter 6: The Wedding Day
