******disclaimer- I love Chinese food. I could LIVE on Sweet and Sour and Sechuan (sp.?) Chicken. Oh, and don't forget the Wonton soup... mmm... Wonton (mind you, it's not wanton, i said Wonton instead of wanton while reading Shakespeare aloud when i was 8 years old and my dad laughed at me... not to mention i was tongue-tied for a week, lool, so it's Wonton soup, not wanton soup. moral: 8 year olds shouldn't read Shakespeare... though i did like The Tempest for some odd reason...)... *drools* Oh ya, I don't own anything, cuz if i did, i would OWN CHINESE FOOD! *cackles and jumps into a pool filled with sweet and sour sauce* ******

Olga took them to the park that afternoon, after lunch. Helga held Brainy's hand and led the way.

Brainy had never been to the park before, but since Helga was excited about going, he decided that it couldn't be all bad.

"You like the park, Bwainy?" Helga asked him as they walked.

He shrugged slightly.

"The park is fun!" Helga told him, "Thewe's odder kids to pway wif, and thewe's the swide, and the swing, and the sand box!"

He nodded as she told him about the kids and all the things she had done at the park. He had never heard of such things, and was quite curious as to what a swing was.

"Hee we are!" Helga said when they got to the park.

He looked around. There was a lot strange things there. Some children were going down a big piece of metal that was at an angle, some kids sat in a pile of dirt making big piles of the stuff and decorating them with leaves, some were spinning around and around on a big metal wheel, some were even flying back and forth through the air. It looked kind of dangerous and scary to Brainy, but he noticed that most of the children were laughing and seemed to be very happy.

Olga sat on a bench, "Now, be careful, and Helga help Brainy and show him around, ok?"

Helga nodded.

"Good, now I'll be right here watching." she pointed to the bench she was sitting on, "Come to me if you need anything, ok?"

Helga and Brainy nodded.

Olga grinned, "All right! So, go! Have fun!" she clapped her hands together.

Helga laughed and pulled Brainy over to the playground where the other children were.

First they came to the box of dirt, where three boys were sitting. One, who looked older than the rest, was eating the dirt. The others were two strange little boys, one with a big nose and a backwards hat, and the other one was taller and had pointy ears.

They looked at Helga and Brainy.

"Who's he, Helga, your boyfriend?" the one who was eating the dirt said.

Helga frowned, "No, he's not my boyfwiend, he's Bwainy." she said. She turned to Brainy and whispered, "That's Hawold, he thinks he so gweat just cuz he's 5, but he's weawy stupid."

Brainy giggled at her comment.

"Brainy, what kind of a name is that?" the littlest boy with the nose asked.

"A good one!" Helga told him, "It's bettew den SID."

"I have a good name!" Sid began to cry.

Helga whispered to Brainy again, "That's Sid, he's two, wike me, but he's just a baby."

"Why you made Sid cry?" the taller boy asked.

"Cuz." Helga said.

"Oh." the boy shrugged and went back to his little pile of dirt.

"That's Stinky," Helga whispered, "His name is that cuz he is. He pwetty stupid too. He's thwee."

Brainy tried not to laugh too hard.

"This is the sandbox." Helga pointed at it, "That's the box," she tapped a side of the wooden box, "And this is the sand." she said as she showed him a handful of dirt.

Brainy sneezed, and Helga giggled, "No, you don't bweave the sand, you sit in it and let it get down your pants!"

Oh, so that's what "sand" was for. To make you uncomfortable. Maybe it was for when you were bad.

Helga led him to the big spinning metal thing. It stopped and two girls wobbled off of it and fell to the ground in a heap.

"Rhonda!" a woman with black hair picked up the girl that resembled her, "I told you, you can't get that dress dirty!" she carried the little girl over to the bench and made her sit there. The woman then went back to filing her nails as she talked on her cell phone, "Yes, yes, I'm at the park. I know, dreadful place really... yes, but her usual nanny is out today... I know... yes, but according to her Rhonda needs to get some exercise... we wouldn't want her to end up...oh I know...."

Helga pointed to the little girl who sat and watched longingly as the other children played, "That's Wonda." she told Brainy, "She gots... um... awot of dough... i think that's what my Daddy caws it. She's thwee and she's not weawy sposeda pway wif us... but sometimes Sheena," Helga pointed to a little girl, with brown hair who was picking dandelions, "Sheena's aunt watches Wonda sometimes, and then she pways wif us." she lowered her voice a bit, "But Wonda's not vewy nice, so we don't wike it when Sheena's aunt is hewe."

Brainy looked at Rhonda and indeed, he felt a bit sorry for the little girl with a lot of dough.

The other little girl who had been playing with Rhonda sat up and looked around, still dizzy from her spinning.

"That's Nadine." Helga said, "She's Wonda's fwiend. I dunno how many she is."

It seemed that Nadine wasn't too much of a friend. When she couldn't find Rhonda, she began to chase after a passing butterfly.

Helga pointed at the spinning metal wheel thing that Nadine and Rhonda and fallen off of, "That's the spinny thing." she said.

Ah, of course, it made so much sense.

Next, Helga took Brainy to the big metal thing that some children where going down.

"That's the swide." she explained, "You go up on the bla- ladder, and den you swide down the slipel-slippewy side and land on your butt." she saw Brainy's confusion, "Yeah, I dunno why it's fun either."

Brainy watched with interest as a little boy slid down. He was different from the other children, he had a wide head and blonde hair that stuck up all over. He also wore a little blue cap that didn't really fit him.

Helga looked over where Brainy was looking, "Huh? I dunno who that kid is... he's weiwd." she said and dragged Brainy to another part of the playground.

"And this is the swing." Helga pointed to the place where people flew through the air.

That was the swing? It didn't look very fun.

A small girl with short black hair and big Cat's Eye glasses sat in one of the swings, slowly rocking back and forth. She saw Helga and Brainy and smiled.

"Hi Pheobes." Helga greeted her, "Bwainy, this is Phoebe." she introduced her best friend to her new one.

"Salutations, Brainy." Phoebe said softly. For a two year old she had an extensive vocabulary. ******i know a kid like this -.-"******

Brainy simply nodded in reply.

Phoebe and Helga began to whisper among themselves and Brainy felt a bit left out. Once again he wished that he could talk to Helga, he wished he was the one whispering and telling her things she didn't know. But Helga knew everything anyway, didn't she?

Brainy's thoughts were interrupted by insane giggles. He looked to the swing beside Phoebe and saw a strange little boy with thick glasses and a bowl haircut, spinning in circles and tangling the chains as he laughed madly.

Helga and Phoebe looked at the maniac three year old beside them, and Helga rolled her eyes, "Don't wowwy, Bwainy," she told him, "That's just Curly, he's cwazy."

Oh, ok, no need to panic, you're just standing beside a psycho.

Curly then jumped a couple feet in the air from the swing, and landed gracefully on the ground, "Plie(sp.?)!" he said and then ran away giggling hysterically.

Brainy wasn't sure whether he should laugh or run over to Olga and hide under the bench. He looked around to see what else was going on. He wanted to know everything.

Over by a tree, a small family was having a picnic. A dark little boy was playing catch with his father, and amazingly caught the football a couple of times.

Brainy tapped Helga on the shoulder and pointed to the little boy.

Helga looked, "Oh, that's... um... Gewald?" she said, uncertain. She looked at Phoebe who nodded, "Yeah that's Gewald." Helga said.

Brainy then saw another little boy. He was laughing happily as he played on a big metal thing with his dad. Up, and down, up and down, until he fell off.

"Are you ok??" His father, a nerdy looking man, asked as he picked his 2 year old son up.

"That's Eugene." Helga explained, "He faws down awot. Oh, and the thing he fell off of was the teetew totter."

Ok, there where a lot of strange children at the park.

"Brainy, Helga, it's 1:30!" Olga ran up to them, "We need to get going so we'll have time to do something..." she whispered in Helga's ear, "For Brainy's birthday."

"Yeah!" Helga got excited.

"Shh, we musn't tell Brainy, it needs to be a surprise." Olga shushed her.

They left the park, and Brainy wasn't at all sad to have not had a chance to "play".

******Ack, my sis just made me realise something!!!!!! Olga would have to be 14 for this to work! cuz when Helga was three, Olga was 15 being "Class Valedictorian at 15" that she was. arg... just pretend that neva happened.******

******well, im gonna get a third chapper up as soon as possible.. tomorries da last day of Break *sigh* oh wells ******
