The Visit
Chapter 3
The Note
"Mom! I'm going to a. a friend's cousin's house with my. ah. friend for the weekend, OK?!" Helga said, bursting into the house, her happiness shining on her face. When nobody answered, she remembered that they both had gone on a two-day vacation to visit OL-GA.
'Oh well,' she thought, 'At least they won't ask who I'm going with!' She smiled to herself and went into the kitchen. She wrote a note:
Dear Bob and Miriam,
I'm going to a friend's cousin's house with my friend. I'll be back on Monday.
~Helga
Meanwhile, Arnold had just gotten home.
"What's up Shortman?" Grandpa asked, curious of Arnold's depressed mood.
"Grandpa, Arnie wants me to go to his house for the weekend. Helga is coming too." Arnold said to his concerned grandpa.
"That sounds. ah. fun!" his grandpa said, trying to lighten his spirits. "Well, at least a friend gets to go with you!"
"Yeah." Arnold said, not very excited. He went up into his room to start packing for the next day.
