Chapter 4 is long like 3, I hope. My computer is acting stupid so I
couldn't update, some ppl already know, bear with me, I'm trying to clear
it up.
"Helga? Helga? Wake up!!!"
"Come on! We have to go to my house"
"Ugh! You need better deodorant."
"Shut up Jessie!!"
"Helga please wake up."
Helga woke up surrounded by the girls, ordering her to wake up. She groaned while she sat up on her bed droopy and tearing and saw Rhonda's face right in front of her face. "AHHH! Rhonda!" Everyone in the circle gasped scared and shocked. "Helga?! What happened to you! You look horrible!" Rhonda almost screamed. The girls were all asking "Are you OK? What happened to you?????!" Helga was talking trying not to stutter, mumbling to herself "it was just a dream.... It had to be just a dream! I mean, I'm not at the boardwalk I'm here..." She sighed. "What was just a dream? Though it was... but what happened?" Phoebe asked.
"It was too real. I couldn't handle it" Helga was pale and wrinkles covering her face and dark eye bags under her eyes, and her eyes puffy. "Lila was in it!!!!!" she glared at Lila that kind of scared her. "Whatever did I do?" Helga lifted her nose explained her story about that dream and how Lila was in it. "And so that's how Lila messed up my perfect date with Ar- I mean the boy in my dreams."
Rhonda looked at Helga with a knowing look "Oh come on Helga. Don't have to be all secretive with us"
"What do you mean?"
Sheena and Nadine giggled behind them.
"We all know you are so crushing on Arnold"
Rhonda explained while looking at the rest of the girls waiting for agreements, and everyone nodded.
"Who told you blabbermouths? PHOEBE?!"
Phoebe backed up nervously rubbing herself against the pink wallpaper hoping Helga wouldn't pound her.
"No, I swear Helga. It wasn't me. I would never do that"
"Then LILA did!" Lila looked shocked at Helga.
"I'm ever so certain it wasn't me!"
"Helga, we've been knowing since like forever. I mean we saw u follow him around and you're always staring at him. Isn't it obvious?" Jessica added knowing she was right.
Everyone but Nadine nodded she was gazing out the window or spaced out.
Helga saw all the nods except Nadine's and didn't bother for a response; she figured Nadine was in her own pretend world. "Well since you people know about that, how did I end up here if I was in the bathroom?" Lila, Sheena, nor Jessica didn't know and looked at each other and backed up steps and shrugged. "I brought you here along with Phoebe and Rhonda." Lila stated smiling at them both. "Its true Helga, cause you collapsed against the ground while you were talking." Phoebe explained. "So I thought you had passed out so I tried to pick you up. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SO HEAVY! I ran back to class to ask for help but Ms. Carol stopped me and asked what I was doing so I told her I had forgotten something and I told everyone here about what happened to you. Lila and Rhonda were the ones that ditched class and"- Helga interrupted her wide eyed at what she heard "LILA?! You ditched class?! For me?! But I- I though you were a good kid? Perfect attendance and all that stuff?" o0 Lila looked at her and laid her hand on Helga's shoulder. "I did it because I was worried about you. Beside you are my friend right?" Helga wanted to say no but she just looked down kicking her feet saying "I guess"
"Ok ok whatever. Before we forget when are we going to Rhonda's house? I mean the more we chat the less time we have for you to prepare for your big date today with you know who." Sheena nudged Helga on the elbow so she wouldn't ignore her. "OH YEAH!" Everyone said in unison even Nadine. Helga remembered about what Phoebe told her "all right! But... after my dream, I don't think I want to go to over there." She looked down at the ground and at her closet ashamed of herself, she could've spoken to Arnold but she had to have that stupid dream! Everyone in the room looked at each other looking for what to say under all the silence until Rhonda spoke up. "So you had a stupid nightmare about tonight, big deal. You weren't afraid of anything before, and I don't you would be afraid of anything but rats now right Helga?" Helga stared down staying silent not even looking at Lila or Phoebe. "Right Helga?" Rhonda stared at Helga again hoping for her to respond. Helga got up not lifting her head walking out the door. Everyone grew disappointed and all looked at Phoebe "We tried Phoebe. We really tried." Lila looked at Phoebe frowning. Phoebe sighed and looked at Helga walking downstairs. "Wait... I don't think that was a no" Sheena observed Helga with a tear drying in her eye. "What?"
Everyone followed Helga but stopping by the stairs trying to see what she was doing. Helga stopped and got her sweater "I'm going out Miriam!" Everyone group hugged while cheering. Nadine spoke during the cheering,, "we better get her stuff" Jessie was the first in her room then Rhonda then Lila and so on. Helga ran upstairs exclaiming "Lets go people, we only have um...." She looked at her watch "2 hours to get ready" "We aren't going to make it at Rhonda's in 10 minutes walking. So how will we make it in time?" Questioned Nadine stopping in her tracks that made everyone else stop. Helga turned and smiled at the group. "I got it covered. I'll drive you all there." Everyone sighed in relief. "It's just ever so smart you had your driver's license as soon as you turned 15." Helga got out her car keys and said bye to her mom. "See ya Miriam. I'll be back tomorrow like at.... 10?" Miriam stopped making her smoothie and turned to Helga "Ok dear, take care and be safe" Everybody was already inside her car and honking at her to get in. Helga hopped in and turned it on "What do you want to listen to?" Rhonda was the first to answer, I have a Beyonce CD! I wanna hear Naughty Girl!" Sheena nominated Hillary Duff "Come Clean" What about you Phoebe? "If you wouldn't mind, I'd listen to some classical music for band" Some girls started to boo. Nadine wanted to listen to the Ace Ventura soundtrack, Sheena changed her mind and wanted to listen to Ravens "Supernatural", Rhonda still wanted Naughty Girl Phoebe wanted Alicia keys "If I ain't got you with me", Lila wanted "Ms. Independent", Jessica wanted "With you" by Jessica Simpson, and Helga wanted "the Reason". "So Beyonce is the highest nominee?? Going once..." Helga stated everyone stayed silent "going twice...." Still no response from anyone. "OK Beyonce wins the match, Rhonda pass me the CD!" Rhonda got her CD out of her purse and passed it to Helga's hand waving in front of her. Helga opened the garage and stuck in the CD and cranked the music at the highest it could go. Some neighbors got out saying "WE WANT SOME SHUT EYE! WOULDN'T YOU MIND IF YOU KEEP IT DOWN!?" Helga didn't care she drove by them singing as the rest were doing karaoke.
Minutes later they all arrived at Rhonda's house laughing, they all got out, Helga set the alarm for the car and they all ran in to Rhonda's room/s "We've got a lot to work on" Rhonda stated. Helga snorted and went to look for a comfy seat. "I got the eye shadow!" Jessica exclaimed while running toward Rhonda's dresser, "I'll cover her jewelry!!" Sheena squealed while getting her jewelry box out of her bag. "I got her clothes! She has to look nice" Rhonda walked over to her closet looking at different matching outfits. "I'm oh so certain I'll fix her hair" while she got a brush out of her purse. "I'll do the rest of the makeup!" Nadine went over to Rhonda's dresser and got out her makeup kit. "Where does that leave me?" Phoebe stood there crossing her arms and tapping on the ground waiting for a response. Everyone stopped and looked at Helga "Hm.... Maybe you should take care of... her eyebrow?" Rhonda observed while picking out tweezers out of her pocket. "STAY AWAY FROM THE EYEBROW!" Helga covered her forehead and thought of something of a way Phoebe could help. "Phoebe... maybe you can keep track of time, so I won't be a minute late." Phoebe looked at the clock and winked and started listening to her CD player while reading.
Everyone was busy looking for items for Helga to wear, finally it all ended. "Ok Helga what do you think?" Rhonda walked Helga toward her mirror and Helga was amazed at what she saw. "Is that me?!" Helga scanned herself head to toe, she wore a beautiful red silk dress made of silk, red high heeled shoes, pink eye shadow, her hair curled making her red lipstick show off more. Even Lila got jealous. "Wow Helga, you look better than I ever could be" Helga looked at her shoes; "These got to go" She got her red sneakers and put them on. Everybody looked and clapped at Helga proud of their work. Phoebe got up and was about to say it was time to go when she gagged looking at Helga, "Helga you look magnificent!" Helga spinned around and stopped "Thanks Pheebs, I can't believe I look like this". Helga remembered her dream and stopped "Wait, this is exactly what I wore in my nightmare!" Lila patted her on the shoulder, "I'm ever so certain it was just a dream, I promise I will not show up at all during this whole date." Helga sighed and trusted Lila, but that was too much of a coincidence, she agreed "Fine but I only do this because I trust you". Phoebe came back to her senses and reminded Helga "Oh Helga, its 10 to 10:30 we should be going, the park isn't next door you know." She started pacing towards the door. Everyone started walking out the door, Helga walked at the door last and said encourage, "Look out world, Helga Pataki is out!" She shut the door behind her and ran downstairs where everyone was in her car. "Hop on in!" Helga hops in over the door and is about to turn on the car when...
"Where's my keys?! O I think I left them in my pants hold on" She ran back upstairs and turned on the car, then remembered that she was supposed to be alone with Arnold. "Um, girls, I'm supposed to be alone." All the girls walked out of the car as Helga drove away; they all waved at Helga driving away. Jessica whispered to them all "Lets go follow her!" Nadine nodded, as Rhonda walked over to her dad's Corvette, "I'm using the car daddy! Be back by mid!" They all rode off to the park where Helga was supposed to meet her beloved Arnold.

OK RR! This was longer, I think than chapter 3. I have to work on chapter 5! Like I'm working on this while I post, so now the posting will take long.... Not too long I hope, if I don't post in 2 weeks, then my internet is disconnected or my com is with the technician, I doubt that'll happen though.... -- but that's just a heads up
