Hey everybody! I know in the last chapter I said that I'd update before the
end of the month but I meant January, not December. Anyway this chapter is
in Gerald's point of view. Happy reading!
Chapter 4
Did I just hear right? Tell me I didn't hear that. Tell me that I didn't hear that Arnold likes Helga because her bow is pink like her dress!
"Arnold, you cannot be serious! Liking Helga is like liking the Teletubies! (AN: no offense to those who do like the Teletubies) And just because her bow is pink like her dress does not make that fact excusable." I just have to make him see it my way.
"Gerald I still don't see what's so wrong with me liking Helga. She's pretty, witty, confident, pretty, original, smart, strong, oh.and beautiful. She's everything I want." I cant' believe him. He said she was pretty and beautiful. Does he not see the monobrow?!
"Arnold you forgot to mention one thing."
"What's that?"
"Nice, which see most certainly is not! She shoots spitballs at you. She's glued feathers to your butt. She's spilled paint on you purposely. She's pushed you down, shoved you around, called you names, she even puts Wolfgang to shame and you like her. Name one nice thing she's ever done, just one."
"She helped save the neighborhood."
"Okay, okay name two."
"She helped save Mighty Peat and took you, Pheobe, and me to dinner."
"Okay, name thre-"
"Gerald! Just get over it. Sheesh! You act like it's the end of the world, it's not."
"Please Arnold I just have to know!"
"Fine I'll tell you. You remember the time we tried to find Mr. Whuin's (AN: Spelling?) daughter?" I nodded 'yes'. How could I forget? We nearly froze our butts off looking for those stupid Nancy Spumoni boots. "Anyway you remember that Helga got the last pair of Nancy Spumoni boots, right? Well she was the one who gave it to the guy at the agency to find Mr. Whuin's daughter. She was the reason why Mai showed up on the doorstep on Christmas. Are you happy now?" (AN: I had to change that scene from the show a bit.)
That's just too impossible to believe. I never thought Helga could do anything even remotely nice, but still. This is Helga we're talking about. I'd have to see it to believe it. I just stared at him for a while. Okay, I'll deal with it for now. I mean it's just a crush right? He has a new crush every week. This'll pass over soon, I know it will. I saw him going into the closet to get our checkers game. It's just what I need to get my mind off of the ever so not wonderful news. Great, he's got me talking like Lila!
"What?" Arnold asked me.
I stared at him funny. "What do you mean 'what'?" Ooops, was I talking out loud?
"You said something about Lila."
Now there's the Arnold I know. He's already back to crushing on Lila. Good ole' predictable Arnold.
"See Arnold, I knew you still liked Lila. The minute I say her name you start asking questions."
"Gerald, I don't like Lila anymore. I was just asking why you said her name, that's all."
"Now can we play checkers without so much as a peep from you about me liking Helga or Lila?"
"All right Arnold, but after I beat you at checkers we'll go watch 'Pop Daddy'"
We played checkers for a while the watched dome T.V. before Arnold's grandma smashed it with her fly swatter trying to catch "diner". All in all it was a pretty normal day at Arnold's house. We had pizza for dinner then we played Doom Busters 3000 at which I won of course.
I kept true to my word about not speaking of Helga or Lila. But I know I'm right about this. Helga is nothing but trouble whether she brings it of is the cause of it.
Arnold you've got a death wish and her name is Helga G. Pataki.
AN: Thanks for reading everyone. Please review. Up next is the moment you've all been waiting for. Piggies!
