Alright, thanks to all of you who have replied to me, you help me a ton.
Lets see, I don't own anything related to Hey Arnold! Aaaaaaaaannd action!
Arnold stood there, looking at Lila. 'I didn't even hit her that hard.' thought Helga as she turned and went back into the auditorium. She sat with her head in her hands by the wall. She was soon startled by a breathing at her side. Despite the years since this excorsize, her fist shot up toward Brainy. To her surprise, her fist hit something hard.
"Ow! Ugh.." She rubbed her sore fist and turned to see Brainy, with the same looking glasses and weird smile he held two books and a pen.
"Uh.could you sign this?" He breathed. She rolled her eyes under her lids and signed it quickly, then shoved it back to him.
"Congrads on your book, Brainy." She said as she rested her head on her hands. She looked around the room.
"You like it?" he sighed. She looked at him.
"It was okay, Y. Mind, whats up with that?"
"Lila, I don't understand."
Arnold looked at her in complete confusion.
"Its just." she struggled. "I never really.I guess I felt..guilty."
Arnold raised an eye brow.
"Guilty? Why would you feel guilty?"
"Because of you!" she said with very surprising volume. " I have known Helga loved you ever since that stupid little play in fourth grade! But you. loved me.I couldn't just. I guess I took advantage of you. I guess I was just jealous."
"First your guilty and know your jealous of me?" Asked Arnold. Every thing seemed to be coming out too fast for him.
"Not jealous of you, Arnold.of Helga. I mean, I felt guilty because I didn't love you as much as Helga did, but I still had you."
Arnold didn't get any of this.
"Helga loved me? How could Helga love me? All she ever did was yell and scowl and, and,."
Lila shed a tear as he drifted off. He soon recovered with a nother question.
"What did she mean when she said she was tired of helping me? She never helped me."
"Yes she did." said Lila in hiccuping voice. "she helped you ever so many times. but she never had the courage to tell you, I guess. I just said those things to her because, I never feel guilty! Im Lila! I never do anything wrong."
Arnold hugged her.
"I cant marry you, Arnold." she said into his shoulder. "I just wouldn't be being completely honest to myself."
Arnold closed his eyes.
"I know." he said as they let go from their embrace. "I mean, what would Arny say?" he asked calmly.
Her eyes widened. "How ever did you know?." she whispered.
"So then, we go to Africa, but we cant find the beetle anywhere!" Nadine was talking about her and 'PeaPod Kid's trip to Africa. They hosted their own bug show on the Discovery Channel. Rhonda, Pheobe, Gerald, Eugene, Sheena, Iggy and Harold were all at one table listening to Nadines story.
Pheobe glanced over to the doors. It had been a while since she sent Claye to get Helga outside where she knew that Arnold wouldd be. Her eyes suddenly caught Helga, however, who was sitting alone like a wall-flower.
Phoebe stood up and walked towards her.
"So, whats fifteen times one?" asked Huoghston, Eugenes son, to Claye.
"fifteen." Claye said triumphantly.
"Hey, your cool,kid." Said Tenni to Claye as Anya talked to Hortense and Beulah, Eugenes daughters, and PoinDexter, Eugenes other son.
"So, your dad is a Butcher?" asked Claye.
Tenni took a proud pose. "Yup. He gives me all the sausages I want."
"I am so sorry, Helga." Pheobe stammered. "I didn't know Lila would be there, I swear.."
"I know Pheebes, thanks."
"For what?"
"If it werent for you I."
Helga stopped as she looked at the dance floor. A slow song had struck up and the lights turned blue. Arnold was on the floor dancing with Lila.
Pheobe tried to say some thing, but was soon pulled onto the floor by Gerald. Helga watched as the couples held one another and danced. Gerald and Pheobe held Claye in between them as they danced.
Helga forced herself to stare down at the floor. Soon she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up. It was Curly.
"Would you like to dance?"
"No." She said flatly as she rolled her eyes.
Curly grabbed her arm and pulled her up. They quickly danced across the floor.
"Where are we going?" Asked Helga. By the strength that he was pulling her he had to be wanting to go some where.
Soon rhonda came into sight. Rhonda was tugging on Heralds arm to dance. He was shaking his head. When Rhonda saw Helga and Curly dancing, she crossed her arms and stomped toward them.
"Thanks." He said to Helga as Him and Rhonda started dancing. Helga stood awkwardly in the middle of the dance floor. She was startled by a hand on her shoulder. It was Arnold.
"May I have this dance?" He asked as he bowed a bit. She didn't say anything as he took her hand and placed his other hand on her waist.
Helga glanced around the room. Lila was walking out the door.
"Where is she going?" Helga asked.
"To pack her things."
"You guys are leaving today?"
"She is." He said. "Thank you, Helga." He said in a half whisper.
"F-for what?"
"Every thing."
"What did she tell you?" asked Helga as she slightly pulled away.
"Everything, I guess. Unless there is more than that you used to like me when we were small." He said, looking at her.
"Used to?" she snorted. Her heart was beating very fast. "I still do."
She wasn't sure if she had always expected the world to stop when she said this to Arnold, but she was surprised when every thing kept going.
Arnold looked at her for what seemed like forever. She looked away. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"You do?" he finally asked. She nodded. "your sure?" He asked calmly.
She looked at him. "I have been sure since the very first time I saw you. Do you remember the first day we met?" He shook his head. "I do." She said as he held her closer. "It was the best day of my life." she said quietly.
"why didn't you ever tell me?" he asked at the same volume.
Helga hesitated.
"I was scared." she finally confessed.
"I didn't even know you." Arnold said. "I knew what was outside. That's why I love your book. It gave me a chance to know you. The real you."
She suddenly remembered earlier when they were in the hall.
"Arnold." she said. "When we were in the hall, you said my book was your favorite.''
"yeah?"
"Well, you called it Escape to Somewhere. my book is called Escape to Nowhere.."
He thought for a second.
"Did I?" he asked as Helga nodded. "I guess, I just said what I felt." he continued.
"What do you mean?" asked Helga.
"Well, this was kinda an escape to somewhere, wouldn't you say?"
Helga thought about it.
"I guess so." She said as the song ended.
Okay, I hope you like it so far. Ill make the next page tomarrow. Reply to me and tell me how I am doing. Thanks! Ladida
