I'm back kinda soon, huh? Sorry if that bugs you, I'll just leave, and write the next chapter later.
*walks off screen*
my cousin: Serena has left the computer!
*runs back to the computer* don't you dare touch any of my stuff, Talitha! I changed my mind; I
will write it now. You can leave now, Talitha. *gives glare of death to cousin, and cousin walks
away* thank you. Oh!!! Important note!! This is the LAST chapter!! Yes! All the way to ten!
That's the farthest I've ever gotten on a fan-fic!
Disclaimer: well, I'm just going to state a few facts; 1: if I did own it, do you seriously think that I
would post it here? 2: if I did own it you would all know Arnold's last name. 3: I'd be rich, and
I'm just the opposite. 4: ok, lets say I did own it; how old do you think I'd be? 13 « like I really
am, or OLDER? Seriously, people. That's all the facts I can think of now, but I'll have more later!
Helga: (thinking) this is ssssoooo wonderful! Arnold drools at me, I love him, I'm going to the
prom with him, and he thinks I'm beautiful! This is wonderful! (Talking) hey Pheebs... (looks
around her, to find Phoebe; but isn't successful) HEY PHEEBS!!!!
Phoebe: (runs up, tears running down her face, and is out of breath) sorry Helga, I was just calling
Gerald's parents.
Helga: (takes notice of Phoebe's tears) is he ok? Why are you crying?
Phoebe: *smile* he is doing wonderfully Helga! These are tears of joy! (Wraps arms around
Helga; too tightly)
Helga: (turning blue) Ph...Ph... Phoebe... t... too TIGHT! (Phoebe looks up at her much taller
friend)
Phoebe: (lets loose of Helga, who takes in as much air as possible) sorry Helga, I'm just so happy!
Helga: (panting) uh...huh... I... understand completely.
Phoebe: *giggle* come on Helga, we'll be late for class. (Grabs Helga's hand, and drags her
toward their English room)
:::that night:::
Helga was pacing back and forth in her room. Thinking about the next night.
Helga: (thinking) how shall I say it? (Talking) "hi Arnold, are you having fun? I am. Especially the
fact that I'm with you. Oh? Didn't you know? I love you more than life itself!" yeah, like that'll
make him love me back. Maybe, "Arnold, you hate me, I love you, and opposites attract right?
That's an opposite, right? Of course!" and after he walks off with another girl, I'll live miserably
ever after. Perfect Helga, think like that. You're a pessimist.
Bob: (knocks at the door) Olga, one of your little friends is on the phone!
Helga: (snarls) it's Helga, dad. Which one of my friends is it?!
Bob: (quickly pauses, before saying) Alfred!
Helga: what could Arnold want?! (marches over to the phone, and holds it to her ear) hello,
football head. Whatcha want?
Arnold: I was wondering... what does this guy that you like, look like?
Helga: (eyes go wide; thinking) oh my... I can't tell him what he himself looks like!! (talking) uh...
he has... hazel eyes... and long brown hair.
Arnold: (thinking) there is only one guy in the whole high school that looks like that... (talking) it
couldn't be Derrick Elisios could it?
Helga: no...
Arnold: then who is it?!
Helga: I told you; you don't know him. I met him... at... a thing my dad brought me to.
Arnold: rrrrrrrr...
Helga: is that jealously I hear? Did the green eyed monster take hold of you, Arnoldo?
Arnold: no, of course not.
Helga: uh huh... sure Arnold... but I don't normally hear you growl for nothing. Well, I better go.
:::the next night:::
It's about 7:15 p.m. and Arnold still hasn't came to get Helga. Helga stood in her doorway to her
house, in a ankle length black sleeveless dress, with a lace cardigan that had silver glittery things
in the shapes of flowers on it. Her hair down in the Juliet style.
Helga: (looks at watch) where is that football head?!
Suddenly a teal convertible with the top up drives up. Helga walks down to the car, and peers in
one of the windows to see Arnold in a tuxedo.
Helga: you look good that way, Arnoldo. But, you would look better to me if you were, say... 15
minutes earlier!?
Arnold: (blushes) sorry Helga, I just got caught in traffic. (Opens passenger door) here, get in.
Helga: thank you. (Slides into the car, thinking) I wonder what Lil' miss perfect is doing right
now?
Arnold: (starts the car, and drives off; while thinking) I hope my plan works. Ok, think it back
over, Arnold... we walk in, get a few pictures taken, dance for a while, get refreshments, go
outside to dance, and tell her you love her. Perfect plan.
Helga: ARNOLD!!!
Arnold: (shakes head, and realizes he is in the wrong lane. He swerves back into his own lane)
sorry Helga! I was just...
Helga: daydreaming, like always. (Scowls at him)
Arnold: (blushes) I said I'm sorry.
Helga: well, I don't want to be dead before I even get to go to my first prom, football head.
Arnold: I said I'm sorry.
Helga: yeah I know, but I still want to be alive when we get there. Don't you? i should have just
asked that one guy that I like to go with me, even though he goes to another school. He might
have kept his eyes on the ROAD!
Arnold: (starting to get a little ticked) why did you even come with me? You hate me, right? Why
did you? Just to get that one guy to like you, I know, you said that. But Helga, you had a bunch
of other guys before me ask you; why accept from ME?
Helga: (thinking) he's catching on! Maybe he isn't as dense as I thought! (Out loud, stuttering)
uh... Well... I-I don't know... football head! I-it's just that... all the others... were nerds!
Arnold: don't think I didn't hear that stutter in your voice, Helga! You really get on my nerves
sometimes. I don't even know WHY I invited you in the first place! (Thinking) great, ignoramus,
you're ruining it! (Talking) listen... I'm sorry, alright? Lets just forget about it, ok? (He looks
over at Helga, who has her back turned to him, and is shaking) I'm really sorry Helga. I didn't
mean to panic you or yell at you.
Helga: (turns back around, and her mascara is running down her face but she is smiling) you know
something? This isn't at all how I thought I would tell you.
Arnold: (raises one eyebrow) huh?
Helga: keep your eyes on the road and I'll tell you. (Arnold turns his head back to the road) ok...
how should I say this? (Suddenly Arnold turns his head back to Helga, eyes wide open) what?
Arnold: didn't you see that?!
Helga: what?
Arnold: Lila was walking towards the school! She's better, and walking by herself!
Helga: (gets sad look on her face, and thinks) he doesn't even care about what I'm about to say?
Wait! Lila is better and walking to the school!? No!!!! (talking) how can that be?! She's sick!
Arnold: (turns around in his seat) yeah, I know! But there she is! Right behind us! (Points to back
window)
Helga: (turns around, and sees that Arnold was right) no!!
Arnold: (turns head back to Helga) no, what?
Helga: (turns head back to Arnold) Arnold, I'm afraid that I have to not go with you to the prom
if she's going. It has to do with the thing I was going to tell you. Just pull over here and let me
out. (Helga points sadly out the window at the sidewalk)
Arnold: (frowns, and looks back to the road) no.
Helga: (looks back to Arnold with a confused look on her face) no, what?
Arnold: no, I'm not going to just drop you off here just because Lila is going to the prom!
Helga: (half smiles, and shakes head sadly) Arnold, you wouldn't understand. I can't go if SHE is
going to it. I could go if I wasn't going with you, though.
Arnold: (gives confused look to Helga) huh?
Helga: *sigh* I'll tell you after we get to the prom, ok?
Arnold: ok.
Arnold drives in to the school's parking lot, and steps out of the car. he walks around to Helga's
side, and opens her door.
Arnold: (opens door, and bows) my lady.
Helga: why thank you kind sir! (Gets out of car, and kisses the top of Arnold's head) don't tell
Lila I did that!
Arnold: (thinking) she kissed my head!!!!! I think I'm going to die! (Talking) and why not?
Helga: I told you I would tell you after we got... here. Later, I'll tell you after a couple dances, or
something. Ok?
Arnold: (rolls eyes) *sigh* ok, ok, whatever you want! Lets go dance so you can tell me
A.S.A.P.! (grabs Helga's hand, and drags her into the gym) hey! Look, there's Phoebe and
Gerald! Hey Gerald, Phoebe, over here! (Gerald and Phoebe looked towards them, and smiled)
Phoebe: (her and Gerald begin to walk towards Arnold and Helga. She is wearing contacts, a
black choker, a glittery baby blue spaghetti strap dress that just came down to about halfway to
her knees, azure high heeled boots, and her hair was up in a bun held with a scrunchie that was
made out of beads and little tiny flowers, the bun was also held together by chopstick type things
(sorry, I'm too descriptive)) Helga! Arnold! You guys missed some of the most exciting parts!
They played about...(counts on fingers)... five beautiful love songs!
Gerald: (wraps arms around Phoebe) they don't want to hear what they missed, my darling
Phoebe, they want to do what they HAVEN'T missed. (Kisses Phoebe's ear, making her giggle)
Helga: ew... (turns to Arnold, who is looking towards the doors) whatcha looking at, football
head? (Looks in the direction he is looking and sees her worst nightmare... Lila. She was in a tube
topped dress, that came down just to a little above halfway to her knees and was red, black high
heeled shoes, and her hair was down in pigtails) no, not her...
Arnold: (thinking) I hope she's not still sick. I don't want Helga to catch it. (Talking) oh, look
Helga, it's Lila.
Helga: I, know, that, Arnoldo. Why do you think I said "no, not her"? (Arnold smiles,
embarrassed, and blushes)
Arnold: sorry, I wasn't really listening. Heh, heh...
Helga: (rolls eyes) well, I think it's time we danced! (Grabs Arnold's hand, and drags him to the
dance floor)
Arnold: (they get into the dance position, and the song starts) Helga, what were you going to say
in the car?
Helga: well... can I tell you after we dance?
Arnold: ok.
Song lyrics: "Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you"
Arnold: (stops dancing when the song ends, and drags Helga outside) now, what is ssssoooo
important that you can't even get around Lila when you're with me?
Helga: you might want to sit down for this...
Arnold: ok! (They sit down on a bench) now, tell me, please?
Helga: ok... it started a while ago. Remember that play Romeo and Juliet we did back in fourth
grade?
Arnold: yeah.
Helga: well... the only reason I was Juliet was because I knocked off Rhonda, Sheena, Phoebe,
and Lila. Lila wouldn't go down unless I told her WHY I wanted to be Juliet. So, I told her... and
now, she is using it against me. She wants you to love her again, and I knew so she was
blackmailing me. If I told you about her little scheme she would tell you my deepest darkest
secret. I had to completely stay away from you, or she would tell it to you.
Arnold: (with a confused expression on his face) why would she want me to love her again? She
doesn't love me.
Helga: no, of course she doesn't. She just wants you to be her boyfriend to raise her popularity.
Arnold: oh, that makes sense. (Nods head, then stops, and looks at Helga again) wait... what was
the secret, or can you tell me?
Helga: Arnold... I-I...I l-l-l-love... you... I have since preschool! I used to have shrines to you,
even. I have about 20 volumes of poetry books to you also. I know, you probably don't feel the
same way, but I just wanted you to know.
Arnold: (eyes wide) you mean... I'm the guy that you were talking about?! I don't have hazel eyes
and long brown hair!
Helga: I couldn't tell you that you were the one! "Oh Arnold, you don't know the guy. He has
blonde hair, green eyes, and a football shaped head! Doesn't that seem weird? He looks just like
you!" I couldn't say THAT to you.
Arnold: (thinking) she loves me?! This doesn't make any sense!
Helga: (notices the look on Arnold's face, and stands up slowly) well, I better go back inside and
get my jacket so I can go home. (Suddenly, Arnold grabs her hand, and pulls her back down
without even looking up) what are you doing?
Arnold: (turns his head to her, with a smirk on his face) well... I should be asking you that.
Helga: come again?
Arnold: (leans towards her a little bit) I don't know why you're going home. You're welcome
here, and you'll miss the crowning of prom king and queen.
Helga: what are you getting at? Are you saying that you WANT me to stay, or something?
Arnold: shut up.
Helga: (shocked, sits up completely straight) what?!
Arnold: I said, shut up. Stop talking for just ONE minute, ok? (Pulls Helga towards him, and
places his lips on hers)
Helga: (thinking, shocked) what?! Is he... kissing me?! I think I'm going to melt, right now.
(Wraps her arms around Arnold, and pulls him closer)
Just then, Lila came out, and saw them sitting there... kissing. Arms wrapped around each other.
Lila: HELGA!!!!!
Helga: (pulls away from Arnold, smirking at Lila) sorry, you lost. I told him myself. I told him the
WHOLE story about you blackmailing me, and about me loving him. Come to find out, he feels
the same about me. So there. Ha!
Lila: (right eye begins twitching, and she points her index finger, on the right hand, at Helga and
Arnold) you will pay for this Helga! He will love me someday, and HATE you!! Someday,
somehow! (Turns around, and stormed down the street to her house)
Helga: (gets sad look on her face, and turns head to Arnold who is frowning) do you think you'll
ever love her again, and hate me?
Arnold: (wraps arms around Helga) no, not really. Nothing could get me away from you right
now. Come on, lets go back inside and dance. Maybe even get nominated for prom king and
queen.
They walk back in, and dance a few more dances. Soon it was time to announce the king and
queen. It was Helga and Arnold.

Lila: (right eye begins twitching, and she points her index finger, on the right hand, at Helga and
Arnold) you will pay for this Helga! He will love me someday, and HATE you!! Someday,
somehow! (Turns around, and stormed down the street to her house)
Helga: (gets sad look on her face, and turns head to Arnold who is frowning) do you think you'll
ever love her again, and hate me?
Arnold: (wraps arms around Helga) no, not really. Nothing could get me away from you right
now. Come on, lets go back inside and dance. Maybe even get nominated for prom king and
queen.
They walk back in, and dance a few more dances. Soon it was time to announce the king and
queen. It was Helga and Arnold.
