Silent Night
Disclaimer: I do not own Hey Arnold! I'm working on it, though. Just kidding! Don't sue me!
A/N: I wanted to thank everyone for reviewing to this story! You make writing it ten times better! I know I haven't gotten in on the juicy details yet but I'm working on it! Trust me! They're coming soon.
I give my thanks to: Helgoth11: I hate Lila, too! I'm so happy that you liked my story! I read your stories and, now, have you on my Authors Alert List! Thanks, again. Miss-Sea: Thanks! I will! Miah The Storm Wolf: I'm not sure. I know we all do. But do you really think Helga would spend that much time in a bathroom? You're a talented poetry writer and I look forward to reading more of your work! Thanks so much!

"This can't be happening! You can't do this! You can't take him! He's mine!" I screamed. I ran after her. "Why are you doing this to me? All I ever did was call you a few names! I didn't want to hurt anybody!"
"Helga! Helga! Wake up! Or at least stop screaming! We're trying to sleep!" Olga yelled, waking me from my nightmare. I sat up bolt straight. "What was all of that about, Baby sister?"
"She took him! She took him from me! I've got to go!" I said, standing and running to my closet. I threw out a bunch of clothes until I found my only ironed dress. I threw it on and grabbed my brush. I pulled out all of the tangles, put on my socks and shoes, and ran out of the door. I stumbled down the street to the boarding house.
Eleanor! Come in! Tex is up in his room." Gertie, Arnold's grandma, informed me. I nodded and ran up the two flights of stairs, yet again. Arnold was asleep. He looked so peaceful. How could someone be so at ease with himself?
"Arnold. Wake up. I've got to talk to you! Come on, sleepy head!" I said shaking Arnold until one of his eyelids opened. I laughed.
"Grandma! Five more minutes." He protested sleepily. I shook him harder. "I'm up! I'm up! Gees! How is someone supposed to get sleep around here? Helga!" He added seeing me.
"Yeah! Good old Eleanor! I need to talk to you. It's not important but I really want to talk to you."
"What is it?" He asked when we heard a loud BOOM from outside of his room. "What was that?" I jumped up and ran to his the middle of his room and looked up.
"I'm not sure but it's from up there." I said pointing to his skylight. He got up and walked slowly to my side. He was in his pajamas. They were monkeys.
"Nice." I mocked him. He rolled his eyes at the ceiling. "What was that?"
"Let's check it out." He said walking up his fire escape. We walked onto the roof and saw no one. "I thought you said it came from up here?"
"It did! I promise! I saw something move up here after the sound. Come on! Let's go find it!"
"Helga! In case you haven't noticed, I woke up five minutes ago and haven't had time to change!" Arnold shouted.
"I think they're cute!" I chuckled. Arnold scolded at me and climbed down his latter. I waited outside for a minute. Arnold came out without his hat. "Forgetting something?" He felt the top of his head and climbed back down.
"Okay. Now we can go." He said beckoning to the stairs that lead to the bottom of the boarding house. "Which way?"
"I don't know? I've never looked for anything like this except my locket. And I still haven't found it! Crap! How could I forget?" I said aloud to myself.
"Let's try this way first." Arnold said, pointing down an alleyway. We walked down it in silence. Suddenly, a cat jumped out from a garbage can. I let out a shrill scream and grabbed Arnold's hand. He smiled. "Easy. I would have thought old Betsy could have handled a kitten!"
"Be quiet, Arnold! That's not funny! You can't act like it didn't scare you!"
"No, it didn't. Have you not noticed that when I open the door a herd of animals run out?" He asked laughing the whole while. I pushed his shoulder lightly.
"Oh my goodness! What is that?" I gasped. We walked on something squishy. Arnold looked back but saw nothing. He wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. I shook my head as to get rid of my thoughts.
"It was nothing. Probably just a figment of our imaginations. It's okay. Let's go."
"Okay. Arnold? What if it was someone with a gun that made the noise?" I asked, my voice shaky.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to find out the hard way?" I nodded and followed Arnold down the alley. I was still holding his hand. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh, that. We can talk about that later. There are more important things to be solved at the moment. Besides, it was just a nightmare." I answered.
"You, too? I had a nightmare and woke up around 6:00 a.m. screaming my head off because someone that I didn't know took you. . . somewhere."
'Wow. I had the same dream! But I sort of remember the person. I don't know her name. It's on the tip of my toung, though!" I rambled on. Why couldn't I remember? How did I know her?
"Ha. They still don't know it's me. When will they realize it?"
