I'm SSSSOOOO sorry about the wait, but I kinda was busy... ok, well, I was really just working on a few other of my fan-fictions... ok, ok, I have too many! I have several that I've posted here on fanfiction.net and on my Hey Arnold! site, but I have 49 that no one besides me has ever read! Can you believe that? Most of those fics, though, should be tossed in the recycle bin because they're so bad! Well, anyway, I'm sorry but I had kinda forgotten about this one... *sniffs and tear falls down cheek* now I'm officially inattentive... and I hate it. Oh, and about in the middle of this you hear the names Darius and Daria, Rhonda and Sid's twins. Well, they're rich you know; do you know what those names mean? Well, Daria is a feminine form of Darius, and both names mean wealthy! Lol! Ok, it made me laugh anyway...



Disclaimer: I own Hey Arnold just as much as I own your house. *grin* and YOU know I don't own your house, so, what does that mean? If no one answers this question then they must be dense.







She gasped, and almost dropped the binocular things. Josh grabbed for the things, but Cassidy always pulled then away. "I can't believe it... your dad is such a cheater!!!" she yelled, pulling the things away from her eyes; frowning. She looked at Josh, still frowning. "You're dad is a lying, cheating, rat! Believe your mom! Don't believe your dad, he's a cheater!!" she shouted, sounding almost hysterical for no apparent reason.



Josh gasped, and slapped Cassidy across her cheek. She completely stopped moving, and stared at Josh with wide eyes. "Sorry, Cassie, but you were getting hysterical." he stated, but she kept still, looking lost in thought.



She blinked hard, and shook her head. "That's ok, I needed it." Josh stared at her for a while, with her staring back. She sighed, slightly annoyed, and shook her head. "What?"



"I was wondering what you saw," he said, and she paused, envisioning what she had just seen through the office window. She sighed, and looked at Josh almost sullenly.



"I'm sorry, Josh, but I think your dad IS cheating on your mom..." she whispered; Josh snatched the binocular things out of her right hand, and peered at the office window.



His jaw dropped to the bottom of the tree trunk. There was Gerald and a woman with curly blonde hair, kissing. He blinked, and looked again. Then, he saw what Cassidy hadn't seen. He leaned a little farther forward to see better. The woman had a strong grip on Gerald, and Gerald was struggling! Josh smiled, and looked away from it.



He gave the things back to Cassidy. "We don't have to worry. Dad isn't enjoying it, it looks like." Cassidy slightly smiled.



"He isn't?"





"Nope, it looks like he's struggling to get free," he looked back to the window with a thoughtful expression. "Just if we could get in somehow so we could see better..." before he knew what was happening, he was getting dragged out of the tree and down the road. "Hey, where are we going?!" he inquired as Cassidy pulled him along behind her.



"Just come on and don't ask questions! You'll find out as soon as we get there!" she said with a laugh. Soon they were in front of a large white mansion/house. Josh frowned, and looked at Cassidy.



"What are we doing at Darius and Daria's house?" he asked, sounding slightly--ok, more like completely--miffed. She looked at him, shaking her head.



"Heh, and I'M the one with the dense dad. Haven't you been listening to them boast about themselves being great at sneaking into places?" Josh nodded his head. "Well, there's your answer!" she declared, ringing the doorbell. Rhonda opened it with a aggravated look on her face.



"Yes?" she asked, sounding as angry as she looked. Cassidy gulped, and looked back at Josh who gave her a sorry-pal-you're-on-your-own-on-this look. Cassidy frowned at his response, and looked back up at Rhonda.



"Um, are Darius and Daria home? We need to talk to them." Cassidy said softly. Rhonda sighed, turned around, and called to the twins. Soon Cassie heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and she smiled to herself.



Darius looked exactly like his dad and Daria looked exactly like her dad, only as a girl. Darius wore a red long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and his dad's old hat, while Daria wore a long sleeved black cardigan sweater with a light pink almost lacy tank top underneath the cardigan, a light blue jean skirt, and the same beetle boots her dad used to wear (even though they used to be boy shoes, and that was completely a fashion no-no for girls to wear boys' shoes.).



"Hey guys, whatcha doin'?" Darius and Daria asked in unison. Cassidy and Josh always had to laugh at that. Darius and Daria ALWAYS spoke in unison at least every other sentence.



"We need your help," Josh said, with a hint of mystery that always sent shivers up Cassidy's spine. She slightly shook her thoughts away, and then nodded her head to show that she agreed with him 100% to the twins.



"Ok, but what's in it for us?" Darius asked, crossing his arms. Cassidy and Josh sighed in disgust, and each handed the twins a Mr. Nutty bar (two a piece). Darius looked at his two Mr. Nuttys, then back at the two in front of him. "More."



"What?!!?" Cassidy and Josh asked in unison; each equally surprised. They were sure that the twins were Mr. Nutty-aholics!



Daria's turn to talk. "We need more stuff, or a good reason to help ya', or no deal." she said, trying to sound as gangster-like as possible. Cassidy was definitely her mother's daughter; She growled, made a fist, and cracked her knuckles.



"Oh yeah, we have a good reason! We need to sneak into Josh's dad's work so we can see if he is cheating on Josh's mom then we need a way to sneak into my dad's work to see if he is cheating on my mom because Gerald and Phoebe are getting a divorce, and my parents are fighting more than I have ever seen an couple fight before!" she stated... in a sort of speed talk way.



Three pairs of eyes were on her, before two of the pairs of eyes turned to the other pair of eyes. "Is that true?" the twins asked in unison; like usual.



Josh nodded his head drearily. "Uh huh, it is," he said, all the while looking at the pavement under his feet. He looked up, and slightly smiled. "But it will all be forgotten if YOU two help us." Daria looked at Darius with an eyebrow raised.



They completely turned to each other, and began to talk about it, quietly. Cassidy fidgeted, while Josh whistled. The twins turned to them, and nodded their heads in agreement. "Fine, fine. We'll help you, but can you wait for a sec? We need our equipment." Darius asked. Josh and Cassidy nodded their heads. "Ok, wait here in the foyer and we'll be right back." the twins rushed upstairs as Josh and Cassidy walked inside the massive doorway.



They sat on a couch, that just so happened to be conveniently placed close to the door. Cassidy looked at Josh who had a solemn look on his face. She sighed, and smiled, putting her arm around him. "Come on, Josh, cheer up! It'll work; I know it will."



Josh looked up at her, and slightly laughed. "You sure change moods a lot, don't you?" he chuckled, and looked at the stairs. "And just HOW do you know that it'll work? What if it doesn't and I never get to see either my dad or my mom ever again? Or same with you!?" he was on the verge of tears, and Cassidy hated it.



She frowned, and hugged him. "Come on, Josh, don't be such a pessimist!" she ordered, and he looked down at her.



"Ok, I... won't... as long as... you.... let me... breath..." he said, gasping for air. She looked up, gasped, pulled away, and blushed.



"Uh, sorry about that..." she said, then looked up at the stairs. "Oh, look, there's Daria and Darius, we, uh, better get going!" she said, jumping up and running out the door; with Darius, Daria, and Josh watching her. They looked to each other, then shrugged, and followed her out the door.
