I have about 8 chapters of this already written out, so I'll be updating soon.

Helga and Krystle sat in Helga's living room, looking for something good to watch. "No..." Helga mumbled, clicking another button.



"Channel 190 have anything on?" Krystle asked, half yawning. Helga punched in the numbers, and it switched to "the all food channel", Nancy Skillet's show (a/n: my friend played Nancy Skillet in our Christmas play: "Channel surfer Christmas."). Krystle sat straight up. "I love this show! I watch it EVERY day!" Helga sighed, and rolled her eyes. 'Great. I have to sit through this stupid eating show.' she thought, massaging her head slowly.



"Could you imagine going through life without shellfish?! Niether could I." Nancy said, shaking her head. Krystle sighed, and shook her head.



"I've seen this episode about... ten times already this year, and it's just the Christmas one! You can change the channel. Try 156." Krystle said, leaning against the back of the couch. Helga smiled, and wiped off her forehead. 'Thank goodness.' she thought, changing the channel to 156. It was "the Animal station" with Kitty Furr's show (a/n: that was my character!). "Oh! I love this show!"



"Your first thought was probably "Poor little donkey!" Could you imagine carrying a pregnant woman on your back while you walked over rocks? Animal abuse!" Kitty stated, eyes wide, and hammered her fist against the desk--once--she was sitting at.



Krystle sighed, in an annoyed way. "This is also the Christmas one... ok, I'm officially bored now, lets go meet some of your friends." she said, standing up, and helping Helga up. Helga pushed her away from herself, and brushed off her arm.



"Who said you were going to be the boss? Crimany! You don't live here, I do, and I decide what we're going to be doing, alright?" Helga snapped, pointing to herself with her thumb.



"Touchy..." Krystle said, backing up, and holding up her hands in defense. "It was just a suggestion! Crimany!" she stopped backing up, and scowled. "Wait a minute... didn't YOU say earlier that after we got home we would go so I could meet your friends?"



Helga relaxed, and sighed. "I guess I DID say that." long pause. "Fine, have it your way! Lets go to Gerald field and have you meet my friends! Come on..." 'All the sooner for Arnold to get a new crush... it was about time he get a new one.' she thought, as her and Krystle walked out the door, and down to Gerald field. Once they got there, everyone turned there heads to them.



"Ahh! Look! It's a clone of Helga!!!" Sid screamed, pointing at Krystle. Helga sighed, clapped a hand over her eyes, and shook her head.





Krystle rolled her eyes, and laughed. "Uh, not exactly." she said, looking at Helga, who was still shaking her head. She looked back to the others.



Most of them walked over. Some, like Harold and Sid, stayed where they were. Stinky was the first to say something. "Hey Helga, who's your friend?" he asked.



Helga slowly brought her hand away from her face. "She's my cousin, Krystle." she said, motioning to Krystle. Krystle smiled.



"Yep. Krystle Pataki. Nice to meet you... uh...?" Krystle raised half of her eyebrow at Stinky.



"Stinky Peterson, mis Krystle." Stinky said, smiling. Some of the other kids came up.



"Oh... my... gosh," Rhonda started. "Your clothes are so chic!" she said, placing her right hand on her cheek. Krystle smiled.



"Thank you... uh...?"



"Rhonda Wellington-Lloyd." Rhonda said, doing a curtsy. Nadine came up, smiling.



"And I'm Nadine, her best friend." she said. Then Lila and Sheena came up.



"Hi, I'm Lila. I'm ever so glad to meet you, Krystle!" Lila said, with a smile. Krystle forced a smile. 'This girl already is one I want to avoid.' she thought.



"Yes, and I'm 'ever so' glad to meet you, too!" Krystle said in mock sweetness; which Lila thought was really sweetness.



"I'm Sheena." Sheena said.



Then, the part which Helga was dreading, Arnold and Gerald went up. 'Please don't get a crush on her Arnold... please...' Helga pleaded in her mind, getting a disgusted look on her face. "Hi. I'm Arnold." Arnold greeted, smiling.





"Hi Arnold." Krystle said, with half of her eyebrow raised. 'What happened to this kids head?' she thought, and chuckled.



Arnold noticed how she was staring and laughing. "What's so funny?" 'I shouldn't have asked. She's Helga's cousin, I'm just going to get insults...'



"Oh. Nothing is funny. I was just thinking." she sighed, taking Arnold by surprise. 'Well, I guess we can all see who the good cousin is.' Arnold thought, chuckling himself. Krystle sighed, and turned to Helga.



"Ok Helga, I want to leave now, I'm bored." she said, grabbing Helga's hand and dragging her a little away from the others. Krystle turned her upper body towards the others and waved. "G'bye, see you tomorrow!" she called, turned around, and ran back to Helga's house.
