Anyway, keep reading and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Sorry it's so short though. It's all I could think of for this chapter. Okay, here it is, chapter 12 of The Great Search.
-----------------------------------------------------
Chapter 12: Lost and Found.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It had been days since their encounter with death and they had been extremely careful since. Nothing could prepare them for what would happen next.
Arnold and Helga walked along the cliff, trying to see if there were any villages or smoke where they could find help. One step and the rocks began to crumble under Helga. She gripped the ground for dear life until she found herself dangling off the edge of the cliff, with nothing below her for hundreds, maybe thousands of feet. Arnold quickly ran to her and held her wrists.
'Helga, don't let go. I've got you.'
'Don't fall because of me.' Just then he had an idea
'Hang on, I'll be right back.' He ran over to a vine and tied it around his waist, then ran back over to Helga.
'Okay, the vine is secure around me. I won't let you go. Just try and pull up as I pull you up.' She nodded and pulled with all her might as he did the same. Sweat trickled down her forehead and she could taste it's salty flavor on her lips as she bit her lip trying to pull. All of a sudden, one of her hands lost grip and she let out an ear-piercing scream. He quickly grabbed her wrist again and continued to try pulling her up. Was this the end?
~*~
Meanwhile, Miles and Stella were searching around. They knew these jungles like the back of their hand, but got lost for a little while from being dizzy after escaping Eduardo's hut where they were kept prisoners. They wouldn't get lost now.
They heard a scream in the distance, and quickly ran to its source. There they found a man, trying to pull something, or someone up.
'C'mon Helga, just a little further,' they could hear him say. Without realizing the obvious they ran over to help him. Together they pulled Helga up, and to safety. Panting, trying to regain themselves, Arnold took a look at Helga's rescuers. His mouth dropped, his eyes widened. He knew these people.
'Mom, Dad?' He asked. They looked at him a moment, and smiled, finally recognizing his football shaped head.
'Arnold.' Stella whispered. All three joined together in a huge hug. The reunion was filled with laughter, tears, and words long wanted to say as Helga looked on with a smile. Arnold realized he hadn't introduced Helga to them, because he was so caught up in the reunion.
'Mom, Dad, this is my girlfriend, Helga.' They looked at her for a moment, when Miles' eyes widened.
'You, you're that girl that saved Arnold's life that one time.' Everyone looked at him skeptically, 'Arnold had disappeared from us in the park when he was one and I saw you pointing to the slide, saying slide. (A/N: Did anyone catch that Helga said in the journal, 'Slide, hehe, the slide.' That was so cute. It's too bad he didn't know it was Helga.) I looked that way and there was Arnold. You found him for us.' Helga and Arnold listened in amazement. Was this true?
'And now you've helped us reunite. We don't know how to thank you.' She crossed over and enveloped Helga in a hug. Soon Miles did the same, as Arnold was the one to watch this time. He smiled and tried to remember when that had happened. The only memory, his first memory he could think of was the first day of preschool.

'I like your bow.'
'Huh?'
'I like your bow, because it's pink like your pants.'
~^~
A realization hit him. THAT's why she always wore that bow, and pink was her favorite color. He smiled and walked over to his parents and girl friend.
'S-so, d-do you know where we are, Mom, Dad?' Stella smiled and Miles looked around, when he spotted the green smoke in the distance, in the valley where Helga almost fell.
'Down there, where the smoke is.' Miles pointed toward the smoke. They all followed his finger and saw the greenish smoke filing out of the trees. Helga was astounded from the color.
'W-why is it green? I-It's not supposed to be green.'
'It's the green-eyed people,' Stella explained, 'They mark their presence with green smoke, although we've never seen them. Eduardo used to work for them until we found an artifact he had been searching for years. He recently kidnapped us, tied us up, and the green-eyed people came in the night and helped us escape. We never saw what they looked like though. They continued to save our lives over and over again in the past years, so we've vowed to help them as well. We trust them, and they trust us, Helga.'
Off in a bush, there was a native to the land, a green-eyed watching. He saw how they saved her life, and trusted her.
'Helga.' The man whispered and ran away. (A/N: Did anyone else catch that when the Green-eyed guy was hiding in the bushes and said Arnold's name in the Journal ep too? I think it will have something to do with the movie, if they make it.)
'It's getting late, we should set up camp and go find where the smoke is coming from tomorrow.' Miles suggested, 'Here, this looks like a good spot.'
'Okay dad.' Arnold said, 'Me and Helga'll go get some wood for a fire.' He grabbed her hand and ran off into the jungle.
'Don't go far,' Stella warned, 'we don't want you out of our sight again.'
'Don't worry, we'll be right back.' He assured them.
'I don't know Miles, I've got a funny feeling about this.'
'I'm sure they'll be all right,' He said while pulling the tent off Arnold's bag as a giant spider crawled over the bag as a giant spider crawled over the bag. Miles pulled back, terrified yelling, 'I hate spiders! I hate spiders! I hate spiders!' As he ran away. Stella just laughed in amusement as she watched her husband run around.
'Nothing ever changes, does it?' She said almost to herself.
~*~
'I-I can't believe we found them--I mean, it's like fate helped us find them.' He smiled as Helga came up from behind and wrapped her arms around his neck. He spun around so he was facing her. She kissed him.
'Aren't we supposed to be finding stuff to make a fire?' he joked. She laughed and slapped the back of his head playfully, then let go of him and walked toward a tree.
'Some things never change, do they?' She said while laughing. It had been a long day and Arnold just wasn't in the mood. They had just found his parents! He was too happy to do anything, so he told them they were going to get wood so he could have some time to think, then go back and spend the rest of their lives with his parents. He was wondering how Helga felt.
'Helga, Hey Helga?' No response. He turned to look at her, but she was gone. He panicked when he saw her bow, lying on the ground. He never heard anything. What happened to her?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I saw the journal episode and then looked at my story. Well, Eduardo's really a good guy, but I wasn't all too sure before I saw the journal ep, so now he's a good guy gone bad. Did anyone else notice that Stella acted like Helga in some ways, like when they were climbing that rock she said, 'Well I'm going to punch him when we get back.' And when she was in labor with Arnold, Miles was trying to calm her down and she told him to shut up. Heh, that was funny. Plus, she's a true romantic like Helga, I think. So, anyway, I tried my best to change the story to fit the journal ep, and I think it turned out okay. SO, r/r. Can anyone tell me what rnrn means? Okay, bye and stay tuned, I think I've got it all planned out! Yay! Okay, bye.
C ya l8ter!
