All She Has Left Chapter 2, a hey arnold fanfic

Hi, everybody! Now you say "Hi, Dr. Nick!". I said I would update, and I'm keeping that promise. I just hope you can enjoy this chapter as much as the first one! 

Random Halo 2 Quote: Grunt1: Me have bad feeling about this… Grunt2: You have bad feeling about everything. You had bad feeling about Quar'an Food Nibble!

(P.S. I don't own Hey Arnold or Halo)

I chose this song to write down because it kind of reminds me of Helga… at least in this story.

LINKIN PARK – SOMEWHERE I BELONG:

I had nothing to say
and I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
and I live it all out to find, but I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(inside of me)
but all that they can see the words revealed
is the only real thing that I got left to feel
(nothing to lose)
just stuck hollow and alone
and the fault is my own and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long.
(erase all the pain til its gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real.
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
somewhere I belong

and I got nothing to say. I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
look at everywhere only to find.
it is not the way I had imagined it all in my mind.
(so what am I)
what do I have but negativity
cuz I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me
(nothing to lose)
nothing to gain I'm hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
and the fault is my own

I wanna heal I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long.
(erase all the pain til its gone)
I wanna heal I wanna feel like I'm close to something real.
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
somewhere I belong

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
cuz I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything til I break away from me
I will break away. I'll find myself today

Arnold awoke the next morning to a light weight on his chest. He opened his eyes to see Helga, his angel, sleeping peacefully, still wrapped in the towel from last night. Although he really didn't want to disturb her, he knew he had to wake her up. He shook her lightly until she finally opened her eyes.

"Good morning, dear" she said sleepily, than gasped and blushed when she realized what she had just said. Arnold just smiled and sat them both up. They the noticed Helga's clothes lying clean and neatly folded up by the door, along with a small note. Although Arnold couldn't really make out the words, he could tell it was his grandmother's "handwriting".

Arnold turned around so Helga could get dressed, then helped her brush her hair, but she decided to let her hair down for this day. He was soon glad of her decision, since, in his opinion, she looked lovely with her hair down. He took her by the hand and led her down to breakfast.

When they got to the table, everyone was already digging in, but they stopped when they saw the two. Arnold quickly said "Don't ask" to the other boarders, and they, surprisingly, didn't, and continued their meals, and then headed back to their rooms. "Grandpa," Arnold said, stopping the man in question, "Can I- I mean we – talk to you for a minute?" "Sure, short man" he replied, sitting down and listening to the two explain why Helga was here.

When they were finished, Phil was obviously in a mix of emotions. He decided to first vent about Big Bob, explaining how "he had never heard of such heartlessness or regret in his life", and then calmly and kindly told Helga that he would let her stay with them free of charge. She replied with a soft "Thank you", and she and Arnold were about to leave when…"

"Hey, Arnold, wait a minute". "What it is, grandpa?" "Well," he said, "There's one thing I never told you. Remember that girl Gertie who was always pickin' on me in 4th Grade?" "Yeah," said Arnold, curious about where this would lead. "Well, I never really told you what happened to her". Arnold thought for a second. Where exactly was he going with this. Grandpa Phil merely pointed at the kitchen door, just as Arnold's grandma walked in.

It took a few seconds for this to register with the two, but the look on their faces told Phil that they finally caught on. "Grandma is Gertie!" Arnold exclaimed. "Normally, yes," his grandma said, "But right now I'm Gwana hunting the vicious man-eater. Oh, there he goes!" she said, right as a fly flew past her, and she gave chase with her flyswatter. Phil chuckled, saying "I figured out that she had a huge crush on me the whole time! What a shock, eh?" "I guess this means history does repeat itself, doesn't it?" Helga said. All Arnold could do was nod.

The rest of the day was spent gathering rent, since it was that day of the month. Thankfully, Mr. Whynh didn't make them do chores, and Ernie didn't creep Helga out the way he did Gerald (although he did make her feel the slightest bit nervous with that sledgehammer in his hands). Mr. ----- (I forget his name) gave his rent, and his chicken could be heard clucking the whole time. "Don't ask" Arnold said to Helga right after the chicken clucked loudly. Mr. Smith had his money this time, as well as a paper that read 'Good luck with your relationship'.

At about 2:00 in the afternoon, Helga reluctantly agreed to go with Arnold and Phil to retrieve her belongings from her "home". Her father tried to stop them, but quickly shut up when Arnold karate-chopped a table in half and said that he could do the same thing to his spine. Before they could leave, Olga came running out to the car. Surprisingly, she was on Helga's side in the whole ordeal, and would be leaving the house soon to find a stay closer to Helga, "Just in case you need me" she said.

After taking their (separate) showers, Arnold and Helga went to his room for the night around 8:30. "Arnold," Helga said, "I-I want to thank you for all the things you've done for me". He smiled and said "You don't have to thank me, Helga. You're supposed to help the ones you love". This basically put her on Cloud Nine. She couldn't help letting out a swoon, but blushed when she realized it. He just smiled again.

"Arnold," she asked somewhat hesitantly, "C-could I – and if not, it's okay – but could I… kiss you?" He looked a bit surprised. "I mean," she continued, "Since I didn't exactly ask you last time…" He said nothing, only smiled and nodded. They slowly closed their eyes and put their lips together. This time, he didn't resist.

It was magical. Both of them felt like there was nothing else in the world but each other. His arms wrapped around her waist, and hers wrapped around the back of his head, pulling them closer together. They needed oxygen, so they quickly detached, took breaths, and reconnected. This time, she… I'm sorry, but for some reason, a "French" kiss just isn't my thing as far as typing goes, but at least you now know that's what they did. Oh, and Helga was the dominant one.

When they finally pulled apart, their breathing quick and their cheeks flushed, they both (without looking at each other… okay, maybe Helga sneaked a peek) got undressed and changed into their pajamas. After turning out the light and climbing into bed, they both snuggled up and tried to go to sleep.

They key word is "tried". After about ½ an hour, they just gave up. After a few minutes of thinking, Helga got an idea, and a somewhat dark grin appeared on her face. She turned to him and said "I know what we could do…"

I can't really say what happened, or I'd get my $$ kicked off this site so fast it'd make your heads spin. PLEASE DON'T BAN ME FOR THIS! And they both lived happily ever after, finding Arnold's parents alive in San Lorenzo 3 years later. THE END!

Sorry about the rushed ending, but I have limited online time, so I had to finish up quickly. I'm sorry. Please tell me what you think, but don't be too harsh.
