I'm having a writer's block, so I might not be updating as often. Plus, another fan-fic idea
smacked me in the head, and is trying to get out. It's making this really hard, 'cause I want to
write this one, but that one wants out instead of this one! In fact, I've messed up from this other
one because it's trying to get out! The thing about it is that it isn't a very good idea. It's about
where Helga's cousin (another unofficial character of mine) Kali Josef finds out about Helga's bad
home life, and wants her to go to a boarding school with her and her friends. Helga does, and she
finds out a secret about herself that is very shocking. It's a fantasy/humor one. Look for it as soon
as this one is done! Oh, by the way, to the people that think that Helga and Arnold are a little
OOC, it's because I meant to do that. It's kind of a role reversal, but yet, not!

Disclaimer: I've said this a million times, and I still don't thing the message gets across. Don't
now, and never will, own Hey Arnold!


I grabbed Spike's hand, and pointed to 'the area.' He smiled, and nodded his head. "In a minute,
my sweet, but I have to use the rest room." he said, kissing my cheek, and walking away. I waved
at him, smiling goofily. Oh, I love him so much! No one could make me happier. Really. It's true.
I looked over to Arnold, and saw that he was looking at me also. I mean, looking back at me. I
smiled, and waved.

He smiled back, and also waved. Now... why does this seem so stupid? I mean, we only saw each
other a few minutes ago, and I'm standing a few feet away from him! And now we're waving and
smiling as if we haven't seen each other in 19 years! Oh well, I don't care. I like smiling and
waving. I turned back around just in time to be grabbed by Spike and getting dragged to 'the
area'.


%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!


I waved at her, until Brainy came and dragged her to the area where couples like to you-know-
what. Man, I think that waving right after seeing each other not long ago is stupid, but, whatever
she wants to do is fine with me. I turned around, so I was looking straight forward on the bench,
and sighed.

Suddenly, I heard a clearing of a throat, and felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up, and saw
Rhonda. "Hello." I greeted, without smiling. She smiled, and flicked the tip of my nose. "Ow..." I
said slightly, and rubbed my nose. She sighed, and rolled her eyes. "What is it?" I asked as she sat
down next to me.

"I overheard a conversation Helga and Brainy were having earlier today, and I just remembered it.
They are going to a movie later today, in fact in a few minutes. I think they're going after they get
done, you knowing." she said, smiling. Hey... I get where this is going. Go to the same movie as
Helga and Brainy, kiss and stuff in front of them, Helga gets jealous, and she comes crawling to
me. Hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha, HA, HA, HA!!! (A/n: I know, I'm making him act weird. Oh well.
*shrugs, and sighs* lol.)


I smiled, and narrowed my eyes. "Soon Helga will be mine!" I whispered to myself, rubbing my
hands together. I began to chuckle slightly, smiling more. Helga will surely be mine soon... HA,
HA, HA!!!

Rhonda cleared her throat, and waved her hand in front of my face. I shook my head to snap out
of it and looked up at her. Oops, forgot about her yet again. Hee, hee, hee. I blushed, and stood
up. "Ok, the movie is "That oh so special someone II", but I'm not sure. I'll be right back." she
walked towards where Brainy and Helga were. I watched her go in, and smiled, crossing my arms.
I know this will work... I know it... ok, so I don't know it, but I'm pretty sure. She walked out,
and towards me. when she got here, she smiled. "I was right, they are going to that one. Come
on, lets get there before they do!" she grabbed my hand, and dragged me out of the park.

We got into her car, and she drove off. Hey, I didn't even get to buckle up! I grabbed my buckle,
and did it. "Could you MAYBE drive a LITTLE slower?!" I said, as calmly as possible. Which,
isn't very calm, just to let you know. I mean, would you talk calmly if you were in a car going
WAY over the speed limit? I think not!

Rhonda looked over at me, and smiled. "No way! We want to get there before them, right? Well,
they were leaving right as I went into the area!" she said, and turned her head back to the road. I
nodded my head slowly, and looked back at the road myself. "What? Is the speed scaring you,
Arnold?" she asked teasingly.

I shook my head, and let go of the bottom of my seat. "No. No, of course not! Where would you
get that idea?" I asked with a laugh. She laughed out loud, and shook her head. Great, she doesn't
believe me and now thinks that I turned into a chicken. Oh well.

"Arnold, Arnold, Arnold... I thought that you were braver than this. I mean, when we were nine,
you weren't scared of anything! And now... heh, lets just say, you've changed." she laughed, and
parked in front of a building I've never seen before. We stepped out, and walked up to the ticket
booth. "Two please." Rhonda said, handing the guy money. He gave her our tickets and we
walked in.

I turned to her, and grabbed her shoulders. "Rhonda, even though you have millions of dollars,
I'm going to buy the drinks and snacks. What do you want?" I asked, letting go of her and
grabbing my wallet out of my back pocket.

She thought for a minute, then smiled. "7up for the pop. Ok with you?" she asked, fluttering her
eyelashes at me. i sighed, and rolled my eyes. How could I have accepted her offer to be her
boyfriend? Oh yeah, she was going to tell that I fell for Helga.

"Ok, and a large popcorn. Is that alright with you?" I asked, and she nodded her head. She
walked to the bathrooms, and I walked to the counter. "A large 7up, and a large popcorn." I said,
and the person went to work getting the things. I looked over my shoulder at the door, and saw
Helga standing there, but with no Brainy. What, no Brainy? She looked towards me, and I turned
away from her. The person behind the counter brought me our stuff, and I walked towards
Rhonda. She took the 7up, and gave the ticket taker, I can't remember what he's called, our
tickets. He directed us to the nearest theater, and we went in.

We chose our seats, which were right under Brainy and Helga's; the reason we knew they were
theirs was because Brainy obviously came in here before us and put his and Helga's coats on the
chairs.


^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^


Spike and I walked into the theater where "That oh so special some II" was playing, and sat
down. I really didn't want to go to this one, but Spike said it was the perfect movie to make out
during, because it is ssssoooo boring. Then, I noticed something about the people in front of us. I
looked closer, and gasped. Arnold and Rhonda! I knew that odd shaped head ANYWHERE!
Even after not seeing it for several years. And, I knew by the look of the greasy black hair that the
girl was Rhonda. Plus, they're boyfriend and girlfriend!

The movie started, and Spike wrapped his arm around my waist. Oh... no... it didn't send shivers
down my spine like normal! But, when I made contact with Arnold I got that feeling... this is bad.
This is NOT good. I don't even like-like the guy any more, at least I don't think, but when he
touches me it gives me shivers, and when I touch Spike it doesn't. Please, I can't be falling for
Arnold all over again. I can't be! C-A-N-'-T! Can I? No, of course not. I have Spike.

He sighed, and turned his head to me. "You want to?" he asked, turning his body more towards
me. I smiled, and turned to him. I nodded my head, and he pulled me into a kiss. Passionate, the
way I like it. But... for some reason it isn't the same. Oh well. I wrapped my arms around him.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

I was watching the movie, when I heard a whisper behind me. I turned my head just enough to see
Brainy and Helga kissing. I turned back around so they wouldn't see me staring, and clenched my
teeth. "Rhonda... I'm ready if you are. I want to make them stop!" I whispered to Rhonda, and
she turned her head to me. She smiled, and sighed.

"You mean...?" she asked hopefully. I nodded my head, and she grabbed me. Ow... ow! She
planted her lips on mine, hard. I sat there for a minute, my arms hanging down by my sides, then I
snapped out of it and wrapped my arms around her too.

I glanced out of the corner of my eye, and saw that they hadn't even noticed yet. Rrrrrrrr... come
on, notice us already! Then, Helga's eyes darted over to us. I looked away, and hugged Rhonda
closer to me.


After a few minutes, I needed to get a breath. I pulled away from her, and gasped. "How can you
kiss so LONG?!" I asked, still gasping for air. She shrugged, and smiled.

"I learned it from my last boyfriend, Lyle." she said, and turned back to the movie screen. "It's a
good thing we didn't come here to watch the movie. I watched it once, and it sucks, big time."
she said, and turned back to me. Yeah, we didn't come here for the movie, at all. I forgot that we
were even at a movie, to tell the truth.

I glanced behind us, and saw that Helga and Brainy were still at it. I turned to the movie screen,
and growled slightly under my breath. I shouldn't be so jealous, but I am. I can't help it. I wanted
to beat Brainy's brains in, but I can't do that. It's illegal, and I'm just too dang nice! Grr, it
aggravates me! I heard a snicker beside me, and looked to Rhonda. She had her left hand over her
mouth, and was turned to me. "What?" I growled through clenched teeth.

She got control of herself, and took her hand away from her mouth. "Oh, it's just how silly you're
acting! You're not at all the same Arnold I used to know!" she said, placing her arm around me,
and pulling me closer. "You are much less helpful, and all that stuff. I like that in a guy. You
know, if this whole getting Helga jealous thing doesn't work, I'm still open. I'm a bad girl, she's
just a good girl." she said, rubbing the top of my head.

I pulled away from her, and frowned. "As a matter of fact, I'm still as helpful as before, I just am
kinda jealous. And, I like good girls much better than bad girls!" I said loud enough for Helga and
Brainy to break apart, and look at me. I blushed, and sank down in my seat.

*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*``*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`

I was kissing Brainy when I heard Arnold say "And, I like good girls much better than bad girls!"
pretty loudly. Not loud enough for everyone in the entire theater to hear, but loud enough for us
to hear. We broke apart, and looked at Arnold. I could see a blush creep across his face as he
sank down in his seat. I slightly laughed, and shook my head.

I leaned forward so my mouth was right next to his ear. "Why didn't you just shout whatever you
said? It was close enough to a shout." I whispered, breathing right into his ear. I could see him
shiver, then he blushed a deeper crimson. Poor Arnold, I guess I never quite got over teasing him
like a I used to. Even after not being able to tease him for 6 years!

"I didn't want to be that embarrassed..." he whispered back, turning to look me right in the eyes.
When he turned around, our noses touched, and I blushed. Why, oh WHY, do I feel these things
like I used to? It isn't right! I have a boyfriend that I love for crimany's sake! He pulled his face a
little away from mine, and blushed even deeper, if that was possible. "Sorry, sorry, sorry..." after
he said that, I smiled and chuckled.

"That's funny..." I laughed, and the people in front of Arnold and Rhonda hushed me. I waved my
hand at them, and said, "Ah, just watch the movie, don't pay attention to anything else!" now,
back to the important stuff. Arnold looked at me strangely. "What?" I asked, placing my hands on
my hips.

"I was wondering why you said, 'That's funny...'" he said, turning more around. I sighed, and
shook my head.

"I said that's funny because of what you said when your nose touched mine. You know, 'Sorry,
sorry, sorry,'? Because that's something one of the roosters, named Senex rooster with his back
to the mountains, in my book says whenever he messed up! Oh, I mean, USED to say when he
messed up. I forgot that his son pecked his eyes out, and then killed him." I said, resting my head
down on the back of his seat.

Those people that hushed me before hushed me again. I looked up, and scowled at them. "Aw,
shut up and watch the movie." they scowled back at me, and turned back to the movie. I looked
at Arnold, and he was staring at me strangely, again. "What?!" I almost shouted. Everyone in the
theater hushed me this time. I blushed deeply, stood up, and walked out of the theater.

'That was the worst! Stupid Arnold, makes me always shout, doesn't he? Doesn't he?!!? He even
makes me shout in my head! Rrrrrrrr...' suddenly, another thought popped into my head like an
instant message pops up on the screen. 'Maybe you yell at him because you love him, and are
trying to hide it?' I stopped, and my eyes widened. 'What are you talking about? I don't love him!
I used to, but that was just a stupid little crush! And, I have Spike!' I argued with myself.

'Pff, Spike, don't you mean Brainy? Don't you think that 'Spike' is a little immature? You know
you like Arnold, there is NO denying your conscious. Your conscious knows more than you do.
And, he likes you- likes you, and you know it! He said so in the theater! He said, 'As a matter of
fact, I'm still as helpful as before, I just am kinda jealous. And, I like good girls much better than
bad girls!' to Rhonda, and you know it! Just say so, break up with Brainy, and get together with
Arnold! It's your childhood fantasy! Take it while it's available!'

'No, I don't love Arnold. No, I don't think that Spike is immature. You do not know more than
me. Arnold doesn't like me-like me, and didn't say that he was jealous. And I AM NOT GOING
TO BREAK UP WITH BRAINY! I mean, Spike...' my thoughts trailed off as I stopped at the
concession counter, at least I think that's what it's called but I'm kinda confused at the time, and
thought about this a little more.

'You called him Brainy, not Spike for once. Wow, I'm so proud of you. Not! Helga ol' girl, just
admit it to yourself! Or, I'll keep on bugging you.' my conscious threatened. Oh great, if I don't
say something that isn't true, I'm going to be going crazy from my conscious bugging me! 'I
heard that! You know t's true, just say it.'

I took a deep breath, and shook my head. "I'm not saying something that is not at all true!" I said
to myself, then turned around, smacking right into someone, and falling back against the floor.
"Oof!"

Obviously, Arnold was the person, because I heard a gasp, and then, "Oh, Helga, I'm so sorry!" I
sat up, and looked at him. He was also sitting on the floor, staring at me. He stood up, and
offered me a hand. "Here,"

"Thanks." I thanked him, and grabbed his hand. He pulled me to my feet, and I looked down at
my clothes. I blushed, and looked back up at him. "You better not have seen anything when I
went down, or I'll bring old Betsy out of retirement." I said, because I was just in a skimpy
spaghetti tank top that barely covered up everything, and a small little mini skirt.

He shook his head, and held up his hands. "No way! Didn't see anything, Helga. Who do you
think I am? I'm Arnold, in case you haven't noticed!" he said, pointing to himself. Yeah, I know
you're Arnold, the one that I'm trying to figure out if I love or not! The always sweet, never sour,
Arnold.

"Yes, I noticed. The head was a dead give away." I said, poking his head in a playful way. I
turned away from him, and walked towards the door. "Now, I'm leaving, and never coming back
to this theater. Way too embarrassing."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!!!!#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!!!!!

She began walking away from me, while saying, "Now, I'm leaving, and never coming back to
this theater. Way too embarrassing." she held up her right hand as if to silence me, but if that was
what it was for, it didn't work.

I ran after her, and yelled, "Helga, wait!" she stopped, and turned to me, obviously mad at me. "I
didn't mean to make you so angry, if I did. I'm the whole reason you yelled!" I said, pointing to
myself. Helga calmed down, and shook her head. "Yes, I was! I gave you that confused look, and
you got aggravated at me! I should leave too." I said, and began to walked outside. But, she
grabbed my shirt, and pulled me back, making me almost fall backwards onto her. Luckily, for
her, not me, I caught my balance.

"Now where are you going, football head?" she asked, and it gave me chills down my spine. I
sighed, and smiled goofily. "I'm the one that needs, and wants, to leave here! Not you! You stay,
I'll leave so I don't get any more embarrassed then I already am!" she pulled me around to face
her, and her face turned into one of shock. Her jaw dropped, she let go of my shirt, and she
placed her hand over her mouth.

My eyes widened, and I began to panic. "What? What is it?!" I asked, trying to calm myself down.
she saw something on my face... what was it?! What was it?!

She smiled, and began to chuckle. She shook her head, and pulled her hand away from her mouth.
What?!! "It's just that you have lipstick smeared on your face. Here, let me get it off." she said,
pulling a handkerchief out of her pocket, and licking it. She began to rub the part she licked
around my lips, and I was slowly beginning to melt; or, was that a blush? Yeah, the second. I
began to blush.


Once she was done washing my face off, she put the kerchief back in her pocket. When she
looked back up at my face, she began to laugh. "What's the matter, Arnold? Don't like getting
your face washed off like a little two year old in public?" she asked in mock sweetness. I
narrowed my eyes, turned on my heel, and walked out of there, as quickly as possible.

I heard the doors open behind me, and I sighed in frustration. I turned around so fast she jumped,
making me jump slightly, also. "Ok, Helga, we're even. I made you embarrass yourself in the
theater itself, and you embarrassed me in the lobby. Is that enough embarrassing for one day?" I
asked, crossing my arms across my chest.

She smiled, and nodded her head. "Yeah, no more embarrassing each other. For today, at least."
she stuck out her hand to shake. I half smiled, and shook her hand. "So, can you maybe, walk me
home?" she asked, shrugging. I smiled a normal smile, and nodded my head eagerly.


"Thanks. Course, you're probably coming over for dinner tonight, right?"she asked a few minutes
later as we were walking towards the boardinghouse. I sighed, and looked at her.

"Yeah, probably." I said simply, then looked forward again. It was dark, and kinda hard to see. I
could barely see her, so I moved a little closer to her; I think. "Helga? Where are you? I can't see
you." I said, feeling my way around. I heard her groan, teasingly, then felt a hand grab my wrist.

"Crimany, football head, don't tell me you're scared of the dark?" she laughed, then I could finally
see her face. It was right next to mine at this moment. Oh, I felt like lunging into her, and kissing
her, so badly! Wait... did she ask if I was scared of the dark?

"No, not really. I just didn't want to lose you, because I forgot the way to the boardinghouse.
You know; I've been away from here so long I forgot." I said, and I could hear her snicker.

"Sure Arnold, sure." she said, nodding her head. "Well, we're almost there. In fact, here we are!"
she pointed up, and I looked up. Yep, this is it. She dragged me up the steps, and into the house.
"Phil, Gertie, I'm home, and I brought Arnold! Your grandson!" she dragged me into the kitchen,
and then let go. She sat down, and motioned for me too, also.

So, I did. I sat down just as grandpa and grandma walked in. "I told you millions of times, Helga,
call us grandpa and grandma!" grandpa said as he sat down. He smiled at me. "Long time no see,
short man!" he said.

I raised one of my eyebrows at him. "I saw you this morning, remember, grandpa?" I asked,
shaking my head. He made an "oh" shape with his mouth, and nodded his head. I think grandpa's
mind is slipping. Or, has already slipped.

"Yes, yes I remember." he said, still nodding his head. He turned to Helga and smiled. "Did you
tell him?" he asked, and she gave him a scared look. What? Tell me what?


"Of course not, Phil! I'm never going to tell him, because I don't feel that way any more!" she
whispered to him. Feel what way?

"Feel what way?" I asked, planting my hands on my hips. She turned to look at me, and gave me a
scowl. Yeah, a scowl is the REAL answer that I wanted. Not. I was just being sarcastic.

"It's none of your business, football head!" she snapped, and stood up. She turned on her heel,
walked to the stairs, and walked up them. I looked back at grandpa, and raised an eyebrow.

"What's her problem?" I asked, pointing over my shoulder with my thumb at the stairs. Grandpa
sighed, and shook his head. What is going on here? Feel? What doesn't or does she feel? Oh
great, I'm acting stupid.

"She used to have a huge crush on you, making her obsessed. That's the whole reason why she
moved in here after she heard that you were dead. Which, you really weren't." he said, shrugging.
My eyes were bigger than my head, I'm sure. She had a... crush on me when we were nine!? Why
didn't she say anything sooner?! What if she still feels the same why?! Why am I suddenly feeling
very nauseated and everything is spinning!? That's the whole reason she moved in here!? I feel
sick!

Suddenly, everything started becoming black. I heard grandpa say, "Pookie! I think he's fainting!"
and then I met with the floor, and everything went absolutely black.

)_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_()_(

I was up in my room when I heard a loud BUMP! downstairs. I got up off my bed, and ran
downstairs. I thought that Arnold had followed me? I ran into the kitchen, and saw Gertie picking
Arnold up off the floor. "What happened to him?!" I screeched, and my hands flew up to my
cheeks.

Gertie looked up at me, and slightly smiled. "Kimba here got bit by a deadly jungle beetle, but I'll
have him back to life in no time!" she said, dragging him into the livingroom. I raised an eyebrow,
and looked over at Phil.

"Deadly jungle beetle? I still don't get her after living with you guys for 6 years." I said, shaking
my head. Phil sighed, and shook his head.

"I told short man about your obsessive crush on him, and he just fainted. That's what Pookie
meant by that." he said, standing up, and walking into the living room. They told him about my
obsessive crush!?!??! Now I think I'm going to faint!!!

I shook my head to keep myself from panicking, and walked into the livingroom. Man, I think
Gertie takes her imagination too seriously. She had him up on the couch, and was reading through
some jungle books. I walked up to her, and kneeled down next to her. "Uh, Gertie? You know, he
just fainted. He didn't get bitten by a jungle bug." I said with a slight chuckle. She looked up at
me, and shook her head.

"Nonsense! He got bit! And, call me Gwanna. Now, Eleanor, go get the aloe and fern! We need it
to revive Kimba!" she said, pointing into the kitchen. I shrugged, and went into the kitchen to get
a glass of water. Aloe and a fern to revive someone from a bug bite that never happened?
Arnold's grandma sure is crazy!

When I came back in, Gertie grabbed the glass. "Ah ha! You got the aloe and fern!" she poured it
on Arnold's face, and he shot up.

"I'm drowning!" he shouted when he sat up. I slightly chuckled, making him look over to me. He
went pale, and I stopped laughing. "H-Helga... you u-used to like me like me?!" he screeched. Ah,
man...
