A Bed Time Story
"I know, and neither could your mother. This is where I take over." Phoebe said entering the room. "Lets see, Helga had just left the diner. Oh yeah its all coming back..............."
--*Flashback*--
Lila and Arnold sat on the park bench looking out across the river. He had dreamed about this moment for so long. A shrill wind came and surrounded the couple. Lila snuggled closer to Arnold to try and get warmer. "I'm ever so glad were together"Lila settled against his chest. "Me two"he said smiling.
At that moment it began to snow, and snow. It was like magic falling freely. Lila did't like the snow so she told Arnold that she'd see him later. He still couldn't believe that snow had chosen to fall at this exact moment. He heard screams of delight coming from the other side of the park and went to see who it was. When he got to the person he saw it was Helga. She was twirling around, jumping, and having a wonderful time. "I love snow!"she screamed at that exact moment. He laughed at her, and she noticed he was there to her embarrassment.
"Arnold if you ever tell anyone, your gonna have an encounter with Ol' Betsy and the four avengers"Helga threatened but Arnold ignored her.
"I'm not gonna tell anyone I saw Helga Pataki having fun. Pasides who would ever believe me." Arnold joked and Helga went to storm away when she slipped because the snow was making it wet. She screamed as she fell down and Arnold rushed to her side.
"Helga are you okay?"he asked really concern, but she started laughing so hard she could barly answer.
"Football head it seems like something is always happening to me because of you"she giggled.
"Are you calling me a jinx?"he was shocked.
She replied, the laughter under contol now. "No, of course not. Help me up will ya."
"Sure, Helga" he pulled her up and almost slipped in the process.
"Ya know, your not so bad, Arnoldo"Helga commented as she brushed the snow from her clothes.
"Thanks I guess."
"Well I have to get going. It was nice talking to you"Helga began to walk away but she heard Arnold yell out.
"Coffee."
"Huh?"she asked starring at him like he was insane.
"Since we don't see each other a lot we could meet at the diner Friday night for coffee."
"Ah sure, that'd be great."
--*End of Flashback*--
"Ah common Auntie"Cat whined. "I want to know more."
"My father always said good things are worth waiting for"Gerald spoke.
"But daddy"his daughter chimed in, "Grandpa wasn't listening to one of the bestest bed time stories."
"Shes right Gerald"Phoebe giggled. "How about we tell you more at the park tommorow. Uncle Gerald has to work so thats where we'll be spending the day."
"Do you promise?"Cat questioned.
"Of course. Cross my heart, hope to die, and stick a million needles in my eye"Phoebe recited the child hood poem.
"We love you both very much"Gerald said kissing each of their forehead before Phoebe. The children drifted off into a slumber filled with dreams of what tommorow would be like.
