Hey-Arnold:Wanna Come In Helga?

Taking A Step Forward

They stood outside Arnold's house. The place Helga had wanted to enter for years. "Helga"Arnold said the rain still beating down. Not letting up.
"Yeah Arnold"she shook her head sending water flying everywhere. "You wanna come in?"he asked.
"No. I should probable head home. Wouldn't want Big Bob to worry now would I"she fought to keep a strtaight face as she smiled.
"Since when does he worry Helga. Common just come in."

She closed her eyes. "Arnold I don't think i should"she wanted to walk away but her heart wouldn't let her.
"Please"he begged. 'I can't believe I'm begging her to stay'he thought.
"Okay,but only because I live to blocks from here"he opened the door.

Helga stood in the mirror. She was finale dry while borrowing some cloths from Arnold. She couldn't believe she was finale here. She walked out of the bathroom and back to Arnold's room. it just felt so right to be here.
The phone rang while she sat on his bed. Arnold answered.
"Hello"he spoke.
"Oh hi Arnold. Its Rhonda. I was just wondering if you were still comming to my party."
"Ah Rhonda, i guess. Its Saturday right?"
"Of course Arnold and I am so looking forward to you comming. Ta-ta."She hung up the phone.
"Who was that?"Helga asked.
"Rhonda. Wondering if i was comming to her party."
He rolled his eyes and lay back on his bed. She watched out the corner of her eye. 'How cute is Arnold when he thinks no one is watching him?'Helga drooled. :"Are you going?"she asked. "Yeah I mean why not there is nothing else to do.
"Well thats cool I mean your right there is nothing else to do. There are probable gonna be some juvinile games like spin the bottle and then maybe we'll have fun,right?"she smiled a warm smile.
"Yeah right. Are you going. Yeah maybe you'll see me there,huh?"Helga's blond hair swung forth as she moved off the bed.
"Where ya goin?"he asked moving off the bed to follow her. For the first time in his life he actually cared where Helga Pataki was going.
"Home. My god Arnold i can't stay here all night I mean I could but I wouldn't feel right"she smiled a girlish smile. Arnold had never known she was capable of such a thing.
"No,no. Helga stay. We have plenty of room. My grandpa already got a room sat up for you. Please stay"Arnold heard his voice but couldn't believe it. He was begging Helga to stay. "I don't know Arnold. I mean I could be intruding, ya know plus we have school tommorrow."
"Helga"Arnold stepped forward. "I'm pretty sure we have girl clothes that fit you so don't worry, and I bet you mom and dad haven't even missed you."
"God Arnold what do you really know about my parents. You never know if they went upstairs to tuck me in and give me a good night kiss. And they might have even called me Helga nad not precious Olga"she screamed. She hated having the rejection of her family thrown in her face like it didn't matter. Wrong it did matter.
"Helga I'm really sorry."
"Yeah whatever football head. Could you just show me the room."
"So your staying?"he asked opening his bedroom door.
"Looks that way."

Arnold walked Helga to the room at the end of the hall. They tiptoed past the other residents of the boarding house. They stopped and Arnold opened the door. He turned on the light and let Helga and himself take in the room. It contained only a small bed and that contained one pillow and a flowered quilt. It smelled a bit musky but Helga decided it was better than walking two blocks to a house that might as well have been condemed since Miriam and Bob were almost never there.
"Thanks Arnold"Helga walked into the room. "Yeah well goodnight Helga"he began to walk away.
"Arnold wait"Helga said in a soft-spoken tone, but he heard and reappeared in the door way. "Yeah."
'Its now or never Helga. if your gonna do this it might as well be tonight'she thought.
She walked towards him. "Only this"she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
