Author's Note- Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't post yesterday! IT WASN'T MY FAULT! I SWEAR! Okay...so I know this is kinda a short chapter...or at least I think it is, but it leads to a kinda big chapter. And like I have said before, I can't just rewrite all the chapters I have already written. It would confuse me way way way too much. So be patient and in a few chapters the writing will get better and things will be better explained. Please keep reading. I really appreciate it!

Princess Amanda- Frodo scream NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Don't leave me! Fine. I will still post though cause like you said, I don't want a riot. Though that might me fun. Mwahahaha...teehee...ok...I'm done.

Chic500- Me glad you still like it!

Sonia/Nony- haha...you have no idea. Teehee.

- haha...picky aren't we? Jk...I do enjoy people's advice. But you should know that for a few chapters I will not incorporate any of it since I have already written them. But I will try to do my best and explain everything and make it a little better for some people's sakes so some readers won't come after me with torches and pitch forks. So for now...LET THE AGNST PARTY CONTINUE! Who brought the dr. pepper?

Kim- gracias amiga! Haha...you are my new hero. Haha...yeah those "advice" people do get annoying but they are right sometimes....dang it. But thank you though.

Ok, reviews would be greatly appreciated and I thank the people that are reviewing and the people that are reading.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hey Arnold! How many times do I have to say that?

Helga slowly boarded the bus. She looked around, fearing what fellow students would think of her. By now they most probably have hear of her little excursion to Colorado. She looked around. Surprisingly everyone treated her same as usual. Helga went down to her seat next to Phoebe. As soon as she sat down she was embraced into a hug.

HELGA! I'm so glad you are all right! When Arnold told me that you were gone I was so worried! I am so glad you are all right! I am so sorry I didn't try harder to listen to you. If you ever need anything please come and talk to me Helga! I am always here! I missed you so much!

-Breathe, Phoebe! Breathe! I wasn't gone that long. Criminey! You sound just like football head and Olga.

Lila climbed onto the bus and made her way down the aisle.

Helga! Are you feeling better?

-What in criminey's sake are you talking about Lila?

I am oh so certain you were gone for a long while sick Helga.

-What? You thought...um...yes...I feel oh so much better. Thank you ever so much for asking.

Helga loved to mock Lila.

Um...I'm glad Helga. Talk to you later.

Lila slowly made her way back to her own seat. Helga went to face Phoebe.

-No one knows that I went to Colorado?

No Helga. We thought you would prefer it that way.

Helga went to look out the window. She looked at all the cars that went by but was so deep in thought she really didn't notice them. She had friends. Who else would care about her so much to do the things that they have done. They kept quiet that she had a mental breakdown and fled the state and they also called the police to help get her back. Life wasn't so bad after all.

Helga went to class in mood that easily surmounted the despair she had felt for the last few weeks. She was slowly becoming herself again. Granted she was very rude and obnoxious, but that was normal. She felt normal again.

-Good morning football head.

=Helga! I am glad you came to school! Feeling better?

Arnold knew she wasn't sick, but he didn't want to come out and say, "Are you still mentally incompetent?" Also there were people around them so he didn't want to let out any details that Helga wouldn't want out.

-Yes football head. School is much much much better than home. Criminey, if I could have I would have stayed home until the next millennium just so I didn't have to deal with this. Helga knew this wouldn't answer Arnold's question so she merely winked just so he knew that she was fine and that everything would be better because he helped.

-Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go have my head cut open and stuffed with unnecessary junk...aka... "learn".

Helga walked off. Arnold couldn't help but smile. He helped Helga. He never thought it possible. But it was surely evident by the way she acted today. She felt better and she was going to feel better for a while. Arnold looked at Helga as she walked across the room, her pink dress swaying as she walked, that cute bow bobbing up and down with every step, her hair gracefully dancing about her face. She was unique. She was an individual. She wasn't like all the other problematic kids in their grade. She was different. If she had a problem it was huge, not like a broken nail or a quiz not turning out as hoped. She was better than all of that. She wasn't perfect, albeit, but she was pretty close.

Author's note: Thanks for getting this far in my story. R&R...and thanks to my loyal fans. I couldn't have done it without you.
