A/N: Whoa. I'm back! I feel bad, but I got so caught up with other things. I had testing, vacation, weddings, parties... Anyway here's Chapter 6! It's gonna show what the characters think. I have to think of way for them all to be together or at least Helga and Arnold. Anyway I'll think about it as I write. Also I want to say that I have a new story coming up. I just have to post it up. So, check it out sometime. It should be up before the weekend ends.

Helgagurl46: Thanks for reviewing and the comments! I didn't get a chance to check out your profile.

cassbball9797: Yea, I love that song. It's actually ironic, because I mostly like punk music, but whatever. It's all good. As far as Helga and Arnold go, not too much goes on this chapter. They hardly talk at all, but Chapter 7- they will.

Heidi: Write more about Lila? I'll keep that in mind. I didn't put too much about her, just because I'm not too focused with her, but maybe that'll change. Thanks for your insight.

iluvarnold: Indeed, sad. Rhonda- one of my favorite chapters. I made her a lot cooler than she probably would be, but I can't help it.

StarGazer39: Thanks! That's probably the most compliments I've ever gotten. Hmm...Chapter 5 was the best chapter? Yea, it's probably better than this one too. Not much went around here. Review again!

By now tears were streaming down my eyes, leaving a pink path from where they traveled. Phoebe had given my tissues, but now they all lay crinkled on my lap. There were some near her too. I silently chuckled at the thought of Gerald crying.

I hated crying. I remember crying that night in my room. I promised the next morning to never shed a tear again. I just broke that promise...

Arnold was staring at me, but I didn't dare look at him. I could see from the corners of my eyes that he was trying to catch my eyes. Instead I just looked at other people's reaction. Phoebe gave me a weak smile as a silent tear fell down her cheek. Gerald wiped it away and looked in my direction. He gave me a sympathetic smile and turned his hand into a fist. He took the other hand then made a circle. He pushed his fist into the circle. I'm guessing that the circle is supposed to be Arnold's head. I tried to give a smile, but my smile never reached my eyes.

I turned my head to look at the others. Rhonda was quietly directing Herald to find something in her purse. She said something about needing powder to cover her flushed face. I had to admit that the girl looked like a wreck. Sheena and Nadine were sobbing next to each other. Sheena used to be the immature one, yet now she was holding up much better than the rest. Nadine was wiping her eyes with some ladybug handkerchief... The al' mighty Sid seemed very depressed. His nose was totally crimson. He solemnly held his hat as if he was situated in a funeral. Lila on the contrary to everyone else had not even stayed for the whole story. She left sometime before she was mentioned. I noticed, but I'm not quite sure if the others did.

Unfortunately I whirled my head, expecting to see someone else. I couldn't be any more wrong. Actually I wasn't wrong because it was someone else, but it was Arnold. Uhh...you know what I mean! A striking realization hit me. Anthony! I thoughtfully thanked Lord that he was not here. I can just imagine him trying to control his fury. Although Anthony could be romantic he had a bad temper, especially when considering his family and friends. In fact, I highly doubt Arnold would still be alive if he were here.

As I woke up to reality I realized I was still staring at Arnold. I carelessly blushed at his stare. Grrr....What am I doing? I don't blush at anyone except Anthony. He's the one for me. The ONLY one for me. I even have had premonitions of a proposal coming up.

"So that's the unknown tale. I'm sorry Helga...I know I can heal your wounds, but I can't give you anything more. Maybe one day you'll have the strength to forgive me. Until then, I'll see you around," Arnold conclusively spoke. He silently left the room. He shut the door as I shut my eyes.

Later that Night

"How come you never told me?" Phoebe questioned as she grabbed some home blankets. She spent fifteen minutes lecturing everyone before bed that it's been proved to find bugs in hotel sheets. She gave everyone their own sheets and blankets. I wondered how she managed to bring all that crap despite their petite car.

"Yea, Helga. When something like that happens you must share! It's helps a lot! Plus we would have shunned him until he apologized!" Rhonda wailed. She had changed from the gossiping freak to still a gossiping freak, but with some concern.

"Firstly, I wasn't exactly close with everyone and I didn't want to make a big deal about it. Secondly, shunned him? He left for college the next day. I'm sure he would have caved in after 24 hours." Hopefully, Rhonda would notice my sarcasm at the end.

"Certainly!" Guess not...

"Ladies, I think it's time for light's out!" Phoebe explained.

"I didn't even change into my pajamas. Plus we haven't talked about the marriage, what-so-ever," Rhonda pleaded.

"By pajamas, you meant...?" I asked, praying for anything that would cover her.

"I meant by my Victoria's Secret one."

"Are you trying to kill Phoebe and me?"

"Totally harsh, Helga! I was kidding. I keep an extra pair of jammies just in case Harold unexpectedly drove me to his parents' houses and we had to sleep over!"

"Has that ever happened?"

"How else do you think I got into the habit of doing that?"

"Whoa! Are you serious? I have to got to hear this one!"

"Well, Helga, I would tell you, but the camp counselor over there wants lights out, now..." Rhonda could be pretty smart at times. She knew that Phoebe had grown tough, but still listened to me. With this knowledge she used me to get her wants. Smart girl...wonder where she got it?

"PUHHHH-LEASE! Phoebe, this is the one day I get to spend with you guys without worries and work. You're ruining it!"

"If you guys just go to sleep now, then you'll wake up early tomorrow and have more time to talk!"

"It's only fun in the night!"

"I don't know... Fine! But only until 1 o'clock."

"YEA!" Now call me spontaneous because about a half an hour ago I was crying, and now I was filled with joy. I knew that before I slept that I would think it all over. I was just avoiding the situation. The pain would just ruin my time now. Anthony often tells me that I'm too mercurial and someday it would kill me. Hopefully he was only being sarcastic.

We spent the whole night gossiping over endless things. From our most embarrassing moments, to love, to hate and everything in between. I was especially glad that Rhonda was there. She reminded me of the singer, Jessica Simpson. Not exactly blonde, but certainly acted like the girl. Very entertaining. Phoebe was also enjoying herself. After convincing her to stay awake, I personally made some coffee. She was fully awake afterwards.

"Helga, tell us more about Arnold." Rhonda squealed, reminding of the incident.

"...What do you wanna know?"

"Do you still like him?" I smiled at her. It's funny how I came to the reunion with Anthony, but no one regarded us as a couple.

"Of course not. I have Anthony."

"Does it hurt to look at him?" Phoebe silently asked. I sighed at the question. I'm personally someone who likes to share what I deeply felt, but Phoebe wanted to know. I had too much respect to lie to her. Obviously the same feelings and friendship with Rhonda aren't there, but she did earn much of my respect today.

"Yes. It's always going to hurt." I stood up and went to the screen door leading to the balcony.

"Those days...I felt so complete. My life revolved around him. How can you forget someone that you obsessed over? How can you not remember the memories? You can't. I moved on though. Tried to at least. Today...when I saw him...he asked me to dance. In my mind I remembered the pain he put me through, but in my heart there I felt something else. It took me until now to realize that..."

"Why didn't you just dance with him?" Rhonda questioned. I laughed at the obvious.

"Anthony."

"Helga...is it possible you replaced Arnold with Anthony? Just to push it all away..." Phoebe asked.

"...Maybe."

A/N: As you can see, not much happened. It was more of a peaceful chapter. I couldn't make all the chapters revealing...unless that's what you guys like it that way. I prefer not to write these chapters, but I want the story to be stable. Tell me what you think in your REVIEW!
