Arnold looked at his calendar to see when he could plan his secret surprise. It was currently Thursday, much to his surprise. So he decided to plan it for Sunday.
"Well, Sunday will be a day that I probably wanna forget or remember." Arnold then marked down Sunday.
Later at seven seventeen P.M
At the Lloyd residence, Rhonda was up in her room, painting her nails midnight blue, as Arnold had suggested. She also decided to add a little white to represent the stars. She blew on her nails and looked over them. "Hmm… Arnold will definitely love this! Now I wonder what I should wear…" Rhonda then began looking in her closet to see what she could wear for her movie date with Arnold.
A Minute Later
She found some possible outfits, but she discarded some of them. The light blue outfit she had when she wanted to show it off, her polishing school outfit, and her dress, since it was mostly for her dinner dates with Arnold. "I'm not going with these simple clothing… UGH, what should I wear…?" Her mother came into her room. "Having some troubles, hun?"
"Hm? Oh, hello mother. I'm only trying to decide what outfit I should wear for my movie date with Arnold. But I just can't decide on what!"
"Well, mind if I give a suggestion?" Brooke sat next to Rhonda. "I'm all ears."
"How about your outfit from polishing school?"
"Say what?"
"I know it sounds weird, but I'd bet Arnold would love it if you wore it! He's probably never seen it before, so why not go ahead and show him?" Brooke gave a smile. "I think you're right. Besides, I wonder how much he'll love it anyhow."
"That's my little girl! I'm sure Arnold will love it. Good luck, sweetie." Brooke kissed Rhonda's forehead before she left her room. Rhonda only smiled as she started getting dressed.
A Couple of Minutes Later
Rhonda looked herself over in her mirror, she twirled around once as she thought how splendid it looked. She then heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it!" She yelled out from her room.
She went downstairs and opened the door to a smiling Arnold. "Hey, Rhonda!"
"Hey, Arnold!" She immediately hugged Arnold. He hugged her back as he smiled.
"No surprise? I'm frankly disappointed… OW!" Brooke lightly elbowed Buckley's ribs. "Buckley! Be nice! You can't expect him to always bring her stuff as if he was also rich!"
"I'm off to the movies!" Rhonda told her parents. "Have fun, honey! And remember Arnold, bring her home safely!"
"I will Mrs. Lloyd!" Arnold held Rhonda's hand as the two soon started walking to the movies.
"Are your parents always arguing like that?"
"Never. I don't know what's gotten into them. But anywho, let's forget about it and focus on what's ahead." She winked at Arnold. Arnold only smiled as he then looked at her outfit.
"Say, I think I can recall you wearing this outfit once, no?"
Rhonda blushed. "Oh, you do remember? Well, I wanted to wear this and see what you would think about it."
Arnold then stopped as got on one knee and held her hand. "Well, I think it's just as gorgeous and beautiful as you are, Princess." Arnold then slowly kissed the back of her hand, Rhonda blushed while smiling at him.
"Arnold, you're such a gentleman!" Rhonda brought Arnold close to her and she kissed his cheek.
The two kept walking along joking around with one another as they soon arrived at the movies.
"You know Arnold, you really did hold up on your promise."
"I did?"
"Of course! Even though the headaches prevented you from going yesterday, you still pulled through and took me to a movie the next day even though I didn't want you to go through those efforts and possibly make your headaches worse."
"Oh Rhonda, this isn't a problem! I'm just glad I could take you out for a movie." Arnold then smiled. "So, which movie did you have in mind?" Arnold then asked.
Rhonda unlinked her arm from his as she stood next to her preferred movie while smirking. "An Eternal Love… Hm, I never knew you'd wanna watch that." Arnold slightly chuckled. "Well… now that I'm with you, suppose I should give it a go and see how it is." Rhonda linked her arm with Arnold.
Later Inside
Rhonda was already seated as she briefly looked over her nails and looked at herself in her pocket mirror. "Magnificent as always." She put away her pocket mirror as Arnold got back with his soda.
He sat down next to her and she only giggled. "You took your precious time."
Arnold only laughed. "Any idea what the movie is all about?" He then asked.
"A little bit, I may have forgotten about the rest of the description?" She nervously laughed. Arnold also laughed. "Think you'll be up for a milkshake after this?"
"Oouu, I think you're a mind reader."
"I am?"
"Why of course, you read my mind that I was craving a milkshake for a while now." She playfully had a hand on his chin. Arnold blushed as he gave a goofy smile.
She brought Arnold close to her for a quick kiss. After their kiss, she briefly nuzzled her nose against his as she giggled.
Shortly after, the movie was finally starting. Rhonda didn't hesitate as she grabbed Arnold's hand and squeezed it a little. Arnold squeezed her hand back as the two gave small smiles to each other.
An Hour Later
As they kept watching the movie, Arnold reached for some popcorn and coincidentally enough, Rhonda also reached for it. Their hands touched as they both looked at each other. Arnold blushed as Rhonda looked away, blushing. They tried reaching for the popcorn, their hands touched again.
Rhonda didn't reach for the popcorn this time, but Arnold did. Instead of eating it himself, he instead offered it to Rhonda. She blushed furiously, but could only smile at his kindness. She ate the popcorn from his hand and then kissed Arnold on the cheek. Arnold only blushed as he offered her some more popcorn.
Rhonda soon took some popcorn and offered it to Arnold. He only chuckled as he soon ate the popcorn from her hand. Arnold only smiled at her as they squeezed each other's hands.
Shortly after, Rhonda yawned a little as she soon rested her head on Arnold's shoulder. Arnold noticed as he soon blushed. "Feeling comfortable yet?" Arnold nervously asked. Rhonda only nodded happily. Arnold only gave a goofy smile as he blushed.
Arnold soon stretched out as he then put an arm over her, making Rhonda blush yet giggle.
A couple of Minutes Later
Arnold had gotten thirsty and soon took a sip of the fresh soda. Once Arnold put the soda in its holder, he looked over to Rhonda who was giving puppy eyes at him, as if she was saying she also wanted a drink. Arnold only smiled as he handed her his soda. She giggled as took a sip from it. Once she got done with it, Arnold snuck in a kiss on her forehead. Rhonda looked at Arnold as he only gave a small smirk. She smirked back.
Seventeen minutes Later
As the movie ended with the happy couple kissing, Rhonda couldn't help but notice how the entire movie was about a lower-class boy and a rich girl who had fallen in love with each other. She wanted to tell Arnold but she only kept quiet, that was until Arnold gave a small kiss on her forehead. Arnold only smirked at her as he stood up and offered his hand.
Rhonda blushed as she accepted his gesture. Arnold helped her up as he linked his arm to her arm.
"Well, how about that milkshake now?" Arnold gave a small smile. Rhonda kissed his cheek as she then replied. "I'd love to have one with you."
As the two walked out of the movie theater happily, the blonde pig-tailed girl was over a certain person's place, and not for a visit either…
"So let me get the straight, you want ME, to pummel that pipsqueak football head and I'll Rhonda all to myself?" Helga nodded. "And hey, don't you EVER call Arnold a pipsqueak! He's more than that!"
"Eh, I don't care. Besides, rumor is from my sources is that my precious sweet little love bug is SEEING SOMEONE!" Curly pounded his fist. "And if I ever catch who's going around and seeing my little love doll… I'm ripping his head off…!" Curly then scrunched up a piece of paper.
"Yeesh. That's how crazy you are over her?" Helga merely snorted. "Well, I got good news on who you can really pound…!" Helga then gave an evil grin.
Curly went wide-eyed as he clenched his fists.
Now that he was hearing this, trouble was bound to brew next week at school.
