Hello guys, I'm back! Thank you to everyone that reviewed my fan-fic! Well, I bet you don't
want to hear any of my boring conversations, so I better got into the story before I start to get
talking boring talk. (Lol, that's kinda true, I talk boringly. In fact this is what I sound like: blah-
blah-blah! Lol again)
disclaimer: I do not, and never will, own Hey Arnold! So don't bug me.

Helga: alright, already! But I have to get off the phone with you, I'll call as soon I'm done talking
to her, ok?
Lila: mmm, well, after you call her I think I'm going to call her and make SURE you said the right
thing, oks?
Helga: (mumbles something under her breath, then talks normal) yes, ok, of course. Now see ya!!
(clicks the phone off) phew! (Dials Phoebe's number and hears Phoebe answer) Phoebe, don't tell
Lila that I told you this, but Lila is blackmailing me!
Phoebe: *gasp* how Helga? Why?
Helga: she is going to reveal my deepest darkest secret, and the reason is cause she wants Arnold
to help her be popular forever!
Phoebe: I knew there was a terrible reason why she wanted Arnold!
Helga: she wanted me to tell you to tell Gerald to tell Arnold that she has no one to go to the
prom with her, and that she loves him again.
Phoebe: I think she should tell Arnold herself!
Helga: yeah, so do I, but she says that (mocking voice) 'she's too nervous'!
Phoebe: no one should be THAT nervous.
Helga: she is going to call you as soon as I get off the phone with you, she will ask if I told you
the right ting, say that I did.
Phoebe: ok Helga. Bye!
Helga: bye Pheebs! (Hangs up)
Phoebe: (puts phone back on the receiver just as it began to ring, she picked it up and answered
it) hello?
Lila: hi Phoebe, good pal!
Phoebe: (grimaces) what do you want?
Lila: Helga just called right?
Phoebe: uh huh.
Lila: well, what exactly did she say?
Phoebe: um, let me see... oh yeah, to tell Gerald to tell Arnold that you are free and you love him.
Lila: (evilly) right! Buh bye! *click*
Phoebe: poor Helga, I have to help her! (Puts on jacket, and runs out door)
Helga: (calls Lila) ok little miss 'popular' I did your little scheme, will you let me off the hook?
Lila: oh, no, Helga! You might still tell someone about it, so I have to keep on blackmailing you!
Sorry! *laugh* (can barely hear her) oh, hi Rhonda, what are you doing here?
Helga: you mean you still won't let me live my normal life?! I will not tell him about the little
scheme, alright?!
Lila: one minute Helga. (Four minutes later) ok, I'm back. What did you say? (Pause) Helga? Are
you there Helga? Ok then, bye! (Hangs up)
Helga: (calmly) hey Phoebe, why did you cut the phone line?
Phoebe: heh heh, oops, sorry Helga!
Helga: that's ok, I really didn't want to talk to HER anyway's. (Puts phone down) so, how are
you going to help me? (Sits on her bed, and Phoebe sits next to her)
Phoebe: I don't know. Maybe I could... wait, that won't work... hey! I have a great idea!
Helga: oh yeah? What is it?
Phoebe: you tell Arnold your secret yourself, then Lila won't be able to blackmail you anymore!
Helga: (narrows eyes) who's side are you on? (Opens eyes more normally) I can't tell him yet!
Maybe not ever!
Phoebe: but, Lila could always do it for you...
Helga: are you on her side or something?
Phoebe: Helga!!!! you know that Arnold doesn't hate you right? (Helga nods her head) then why
is it such a big deal if he finds out from you, or Lila?
(Helga shrugs and looks at the floor)
Helga: I guess it's cause I know that he'll never ever love me back. (She looks up at Phoebe with
tears threatening to fall)
Phoebe: *giggle* if you only knew Helga, if only.
Helga: (straitens up and looks at her best friend who is about to break out in laughter) what are
you talking about? (Realizes) you mean?
Phoebe: well, I was talking with Gerald, when we got on the subject of who we think has crushes
on each other, (Helga frowns at Phoebe) oh, don't worry, I didn't mention anything about you
liking 'ice cream'. (Helga relaxes) first I mentioned Sid and Rhonda, cause I think they have a
thing for each other, then he mentioned Harold and Patty, then I mentioned Stinky and Lila, (that
made Helga laugh) that's what Gerald did when I said that, then we got into it so much until it
was his turn and he said exactly this: "Arnold and Helga! *gasp* did I just say what I think I
said?" so I asked him why he said you two, and it turns out that every time Gerald looks at
Arnold, he's looking at you with that goofy smile!
Helga: (jumps up, and begins dancing around the room) oh my love! (Stops and slaps herself)
what am I, nine?! Oh brother! (Walks over to Phoebe) do you think he really loves me, or just
likes to stare like that?
Phoebe: (looks at the floor them back up at Helga smiling) Helga, Helga, do you think Arnold
stares like that for nothing? Especially since he has that feeble-minded smile?
Helga: you're right Phoebe. (The phone rings, and Helga picks it up [wait a minute, didn't Phoebe
cut the cord?]) hello?
Lila: hello again!
Helga: (mouths the words 'it's Lila' to Phoebe) so, it's my rival. What do you want?
Lila: oh, just to see how you were doing. Oh, but then I decided I would rather just say, I have
something else for you to do!
Helga: (her jaw drops) what!? What on earth else could you get me to do?!
Lila: ooooo, just a little something called... change.
Helga: what on earth are you rambling on about?
Lila: I want you to join my group!
Helga: (narrows eyes) there is no way, Helga G. Pataki, is EVER going to join your stupid little
'group'!!!!!
Lila: oh, really?
Helga: YES REALLY!!!!!
Lila: I'll tell your little secret!
Helga: no, you wouldn't dare!
Lila: oh, wouldn't I?
