This chapter is much different from anything I've ever written before, and its probably the last time you'll ever see me write anything like this. Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter five: Sweet Revenge Set Up
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The sun beat through the shades and awoke Arnold. They stung his eyes and he moaned from the lack of sleep. He couldn't sleep last night, not after what had happened. He kept visioning her, and him, and he couldn't sleep. But the sun forced his eyes apart to wake up as he glanced over at his clock.
10:00
Well, I'd better try waking Helga up if we want to get some runs in, today, he thought as he headed for her room.
Once again, she refused to get up, throwing her pillow at him, hiding under the covers, anything to make him make her awake. She couldn't sleep after what happened last night. How could she? Arnold had seen her.naked. Their relationship would be ruined forever unless they got married some day, but that seemed pretty unlikely right now.
~^~
They managed to make it out to the slopes, but to find it almost deserted. That was extremely rare for Colorado.
'Wow,' Arnold said in awe, 'This is pretty rare, considering how exclusive this place is. I'm surprised it is so empty.' Helga nodded in concurrence as they headed for the entrance.
'That means more snow for us!' she said happily. They had talked about last night over breakfast, and decided they would both forget about it, and somehow they had. Between the snow, and anticipation of snowboarding, they had forgotten.
'What, now you're looking on the bright side?' Helga smiled and punched him playfully in the stomach.
'C'mon, lets go.' He raced after her.
~^~
They reached the top of the mountain and boarded down some more advanced slopes then yesterday, these ones with higher jumps, and steeper hills. Arnold felt the rush of pure exhilaration as he raced down the black diamond, Helga at his heels. There were two, maybe three other parties on that hill, but otherwise it was theirs, all theirs.
The cold wind didn't freeze them, just made this experience more fun. This was like a dream, like the dream he had.
But Helga never fell, not once. When they finally reached the bottom, they decided to go back up. There was no need to wait since there was no line for the gondola. They got their own. It was cold inside the little car, but the excitement of going back down the mountain again warmed them up. Then all of a sudden, the gondola stopped halfway up. Arnold and Helga got up and looked out the window, and heard a voice over the loudspeaker.
'Its okay folks, we should have this gondola up and running again in just a few moments. We just have some minor technical difficulties,' Helga sighed.
'Ugh, that's what they tell you, but what they tell you is never the truth. We're probably gonna be up here for hours.'
'I'm sure its only a matter of time before we start moving again.'
'Still optimistic, eh football head?' she asked a little coquettishly.
'Somebody has to.' She smiled, but then a shiver shook her entire body. She just then realized how cold she was. He noticed and scooted closer to her, wrapping his arm around her, 'Better?' he asked. She nodded and snuggled deeper into his warm embrace. How could he be so warm on the coldest day of their vacation?
'Thank you for being patient, we have specialists working on the problem right now, it should only be a matter of minutes,' the voice on the loud speaker said. Helga scoffed.
'A few minutes my ass,' Arnold shushed her and they just waited, now warm.
~^~
A few hours later
~^~
'L-like I said,' Helga shivered, 'A f-few hours my ass. They've been t- telling us this for the last f-few hours!'
'D-don't worry Helga, w-we'll get out of here. T-then we can go have some n- nice, w-warm hot c-chocolate,' he shivered, subconsciously running his hand that was wrapped around her up and down the length of her arm. He could tell she was still really cold.
'R-remember that one T-thanksgiving?' she asked vaguely. He knew exactly which one she was talking about though.
'Yeah, it was f-freezing out.'
'H-how was your f-fourth of July c-celebration?'
'Eh, Grandma got to set off her fireworks, but we had turkey and everything else,' He remembered how happy she was though that she was getting attention. He wondered why. He remembered one other time that she was so sad, but then happy.
'H-Helga?' she looked over at him.
'Hmmm?'
'Why were you w-walking to school by yourself when we started p-pre school?' she looked at him shocked. Never in a million years would she have guessed he would ask a question like this.
'B-because, m-my parents were busy and they wouldn't take me,' she said quickly.
'W-why, what were they b-busy with?' tears started forming in her eyes just remembering it.
'T-they were too b-busy listening to Olga p-play the piano.' It was his turn to look shocked, to really wonder why. Why was she happier by the end of the day? He wiped her tears back.
'You s-seemed happier after we s-started class, why?' Oh boy, now she was stuck. It was either tell him and lose what they had for years, or tell him, and go up a lever, but face the consequences, OR, lie and tell him something else. Her intuition told her to go for it. She took a deep breath and looked his straight in the eye.
'I was h-happier b-because of you,' she hesitated for a moment, then continued. This was it, 'I.l-love you.'
He stared at her for a moment, then realized she had started leaning in. Before their lips touched, he mumbled his response.
'I love you.'
Their lips touched slightly, then with a force so powerful neither of them know what to do. She felt so clumsy as she draped her arm around his neck, pulling him close to her.
He was in pure ecstasy. She was the only other thing in the world, nothing else existed. He pulled her closer to him, so close that light couldn't pass through them. His hands rubbed her back which made her moan in pleasure, causing his blood to run faster, faster, faster. He nearly died.
The car jerked forward; it had started up again and hurdled them to the other side of the gondola. They fell, Helga on top of Arnold as she took in the scent of his hair. Yep, still the same shampoo.
They looked up at each other and without words were kissing again, with more passion, more urgency then before. The heat between them warmed up the gondola. They were nearing the top of the mountain. Helga pulled away breathlessly.
'Arnold,' she breathed, 'Lets go back to the lodge. I'm done snowboarding for today.' He nodded. He may be dense, but he knew what her invitation meant. It was crazy, it was stupid, but it felt right. Even at seventeen, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, to commit himself to her. He knew they would wed someday. They shared a brief kiss before getting out of the gondola, the cold air being their greeting, and racing down the mountain in anticipation of what was to come.
~^~
The door opened and closed behind them as she leapt onto him, wrapping her legs around the back of him. She kissed him and he kissed back, harder. He struggled, but managed to make it to the couch. They fell down in a heap, tangled up in each other. Before either of them knew what was happening, her jacket was next to the fire place, his by a chair, her sweatshirt behind the couch, his at the end of the couch. They continued to strip each other down until her bra was on the coffee table, his boxers slipped from her fingers onto the ground. They kissed and roamed each other, feeling every inch of every part. They couldn't get enough of it. Neither of them could believe this was happening; it all seemed unreal. Their minds had been lost in a swirl of passion, kissing, love, and deep inside each other. They were feeling weaker by the minute, barely able to hold on, but they continued.
Sweat drenched their bodies and they no longer needed to worry about being cold. The passion heated them up and the fire between them would keep them warm forever. She screamed and he kissed her, biting with love at her neck. She moaned and pulled him further into her. He felt it coming, and almost exploded from the rush.
They collapsed and he fell on top of her, breathing hard. A piece of hair covered his eyes as she brushed it away, laughing slightly. He laughed along with her and kissed her forehead, her nose, her lips, her chin, her neck, and down and down. She gave into him. When he was done, he got up and picked up al his clothes, hanging their jackets up, and bringing his clothes upstairs. She was still trying to regain herself. She had been paralyzed from him, but she wanted that. She could not move her muscles. Eventually she too picked up all her clothes and brought them upstairs, to be met by him coming out of the bathroom.
'I need a shower,' he said smugly into her hair. It was pretty amazing that he had been shorter then her when they were younger, but now he was taller. She nodded.
'Me too.' She led him in the bathroom, and turned on the water. He stepped in, and she went and locked both their bedroom doors, just in case before joining him.
~^~
It was nine o'clock, and they had been watching TV for about two hours when there was a knock on the door. Helga relentlessly got up from Arnold's arms and went to answer it, now clad in her pink pajamas. His were blue, what else is new?
'Peter?' she asked shocked,' W-what are you doing here?!' He walked in, uninvited.
'Ya know Helga. I just gotta tell you straight out.' She looked at him skeptically, and he continued, 'I love you.' Her face wrenched form confused to horror. She couldn't stand the guy and here he was telling her he loved her, after she had just proven her love to Arnold? Brainy was a better catch than Peter, but she had laid it easy on Brainy, she could do the same to Peter. She looked over at where Arnold sat on the couch. He too looked surprised. She turned back to Peter.
'Look, kid. I'm gonna tell you what I've told all the other guys. I'm in love with one person, and I'm sorry to say that guy isn't you,' well, she said it the best she could without throwing up. After all, they were staying hi his parent's lodge. HE still looked hurt though.
'But I can prove myself. I know you can learn to love me.' He pleaded. It almost sounded pathetic.
'You can't force someone to love you. It has to come from the heart,' she said a little more forcefully. This guy just wouldn't give up. Peter just got infuriated.
'Fine! You'll be sorry you ever said no to me! I'll find some way to win your heart, or make you never see the guy you love ever again!' HE stomped out of the room, and slammed the door. Helga and Arnold stared where he had made his grand entrance, and exit. Then they looked at each other. Arnold's eyes hypnotized her and she returned to his waiting arms. They just snuggled, and fell asleep, which wasn't uncommon when Mary found them like that when she returned from her short trip with Jane. Many times had they watched TV like that. She thought it was cute. She didn't even bother going in their rooms, which was a good thing since Helga's clothes lay on her floor, Arnold's in the bathroom. She just retreated to her room and fell asleep after turning the TV off, and slipping a blanket around them. She had no idea, and that's how Peter found sweet revenge.
++++++++++++++++++++
So, like I said, that's the last time I write anything like that. If you didn't like that little part, I understand, but I'd like to hear how you like the rest of the chapter.:D I'll post the next one up asap. I've completed writing this, so I just need to find time to type up every chapter. It takes me an hour to type it and go through editing it. Till next time.
