It was a warm spring morning and today was the day. The day for all of the fifth grader's different and, almost, separate plans to go into action, involving with Arnold's secret admirer. In the Sunset Arms of the boarding house, Arnold woke up with a smile on his face.

He stretched as he got out of bed and see's the sapphire blue bag still on his side of his bed. Arnold smiled dreamily at it, as it still contained the red heel and the little pink book. He then went downstairs to eat breakfast. As Arnold continued walking down the hall to go eat breakfast with his family, he sees all of the borders, including his Grandpa and Grandma, at the dinner table. All eyes were immediately on him, with exciting smiles on each of the adults faces, making Arnold feeling a tide bit nervous, but shook it off as he smiled more and started eating breakfast.

With eyes still on him, Arnold sighed as he looked up at his family, still with the smile on his face. "Guy's what's with the smiling?" Arnold asked humorously as the continued men started to snicker a little, including Grandpa, and the Mrs. Kokoshka and Grandma were giggling a little.

Grandpa Phil then started to speak out of all of everyone else. "Well Arnold, it's just that today you'll be in the park, and you'll finally be seeing who this secret admirer is! And well, we just can't help but laugh a little about it you know? Because your were never a ladies man or a catch with girls before. You were more of a-"

"A goodie two-shoes!" Mr. Hyunh said with a smile on his face.

"A wet blanket!" Mr. Kokoshka said smiling trying not to laugh.

"And you were always having bad luck with girls!" Mr. Potts, aka Ernie, said also smiling.

The men in the room started to burst out with laughter, but not too much to make Arnold run out of the dining room like last time. Arnold blushed red onto his cheeks as he sat there frozen for a few good seconds, until he shook his head and continued eating.

While doing so, he couldn't help but smile still at the very thought. It was also kinda funny to him really. It really was true that Arnold always did had bad luck with girls over the years, yet over those years, especially last year, Helga always secretly loved him by helping him with certain problems involving him.

Even though she doesn't show it and only shows her toughness, loyal, and helpful side, which he loved and admired about her. Over the years, Arnold's always had trouble with girls. Girls like Ruth, Ms. Felter, Summer, and even Lila, who was now one of his friends.

But now, he has a secret admirer, who's Cecile, who's Helga. And Arnold finally loved Helga. Arnold started to chuckle a little as he put down his fork, which contained eggs, as he laid his cheek against his hand and continued laughing a little.

The adults in the room were pretty surprised to see Arnold laughing. After a few seconds of laughing, Arnold looked up at the other adults with a smile, still red onto his cheeks. "Well everyone, I'm pretty happy and pretty much sure on who this secret admirer is.

And I can honestly say that I'm pretty happy that a girl...l-loves me hehe..."Arnold smiled sheepishly as he looked up at the time on the wall clock. It was 9:00 am. Arnold's green eyes went a little wide as he quickly ran out of the dining room saying, "See you guys later I gotta get ready my date bye!". And with that, Arnold went off to get ready for his big 'meeting' with Helga, didn't care that he said, 'my date', and leaving every adult in the dining room in surprise.

As he ran into his room, Arnold went to his side of the bed to get his spy outfit, almost forgetting his black shoes as he grabbed them from the closet, and went into the bathroom. After 5 minutes, Arnold got out of the bathroom with a refreshed smile.

He had on his spy outfit, but he's waiting to put on his tie until he goes into his bedroom where his big mirror is as to it was around his neck untied. He then quickly grabbed a light blue comb and started combing his sorta wet tufts of cornflower hair. It was tangled at first, but his hair was easy to brush.

When Arnold got done brushing, he put the comb back and grabbed a small cologne bottle from the bathroom cabinet, that was a dark blue, and the title of the bottle was saying in cursive, 'Entrancement'. Arnold sprayed the scented cologne onto his neck, his head, and around his body as he put the bottle in his pocket just in case.

The smell of the cologne didn't smell too bad, it smelled petty good to him, and he was happy about that. As he walked to his full length mirror, Arnold looked at his reflection. He was still rosy from his cheeks due to him still saying that he was getting ready for his date.

Smiling a little at what he said, Arnold continued to look at himself to see how he'll look for today. His hair was a little shiny due to it being wet. Arnold finally saw the last thing in his reflection. His black tie was still untied and still around his neck. Arnold then started tying his black tie with a smile.

When he got done tying it, Arnold grabbed his black shoes, also from saving the neighborhood, and a clean pair of socks, as he started putting on his white socks, and started putting on his black shoes. Arnold then walked to his closet and grabbed and put on a black formal jacket. Just in case it was cold out in the big open meadow in the park. He then walked up to the mirror again and stared at himself in the full length mirror again.

The black suit fitted perfectly around his small body, the sleeves weren't too long, the spy outfit still fitted on him perfectly, he adjusted his tie a little more with a smile, and to his own opinion, he looked pretty good. 'I hope this'll get Helga to bring her guard down. So I can talk to her about the dance and our plan...and maybe tell her...how I feel about her...'

Arnold smiled more and blushed, hoping that what he'll tell Helga that he finally loved her, before it may be too late. Arnold then went up to the roof of the boarding and grabbed the box of chocolates from the small hidden fridge. He went back inside his room and put the heart-shaped box into the blue bag on the larger side of the bag.

Arnold blushed and thought about something. Something that Mr. Kokoshka said yesterday. 'I bet that 10 bucks about that secret admirer that she may kiss you!' Arnold's eyes widened at the very thought. 'If...if Helga DOES kiss me then...t-then...' He started to go 'crush on a girl mode', but this time, it was more serious.

Arnold was 'in love' mode. And he's was NEVER in that mode before! Excitement and adrenaline went through his veins as he quickly ran to the bathroom to get a pack of breathe mint's and a spray of peppermint. As he put them in his pocket for later on, Arnold went and grabbed the bouquet of roses from his desk.

It still smelled pretty and looked beautiful. He grabbed the blue bag his hand and held the bouquet of roses in the other. He walked to the front door of the boarding house with a smile and a little sigh. Arnold held the blue bag with the bouquet in the same hand real quick so he can open the door.

A few stray animals came out of the house and Arnold walked down the steps of his stoop. He then looked around. The spring fever was still here as flowers were still blooming and the birds were chirping, and Arnold smiled more and ran off to the park, excited for today. Today, he was gonna talk to Helga about the dance, what plan they'll come up with, and he'll confess to her that he loved her before anything else.

As Arnold continued to walk down, but sped walk a little so he won't be late, the sidewalk towards the park, mostly familiar people kept on staring at him, whispering and mumbling comments about he looks, as he felt uncomfortable at the eyes were still on him.

Usually he only ever dresses up for anything formal, and people barely noticed him looking formal, yet right now he really was being noticed by people he passes by. Arnold started to run a little on the sidewalk, hoping that the park is near him so he didn't have to listen and see to the people noticing him.

But then suddenly remembering what he has in his hands, Arnold blushed a bright red as he continued on going to the park. As he hoped, the park was to the other side of the street. Looking in both ways to make sure no cars or trucks are driving in the street, Arnold ran across as he stood there in front of the entrance of the park.

Then as he stood there, Arnold started walking into the park, thinking that Helga must be waiting for him at the meadow. Arnold continued walking into the park as he was passing the big fountain and passing Mighty Pete's treehouse.

Arnold continued on walking towards the meadow in the park, hoping to see Helga soon at the front of the meadow, that was close to him and that was half of the park, and not see anyone else familiar. Arnold then looked at the meadow in surprise.

It was big open field with fresh green grass. It had butterflies, different types, and colors, of flowers, and even a few bushes. As Arnold started walking through the meadow, he notices a few rose bushes, that looked it was surrounding something that was glowing, on the edge of the meadow, which were a LOT of them, and then saw something.

He saw a blur of pink and gold again like before at the store yesterday. Arnold started following the blur of colors he now adored so. As he ran and ran, he found himself near the rose bushes circle. Still seeing the blur of pink and gold he loved so much, Arnold followed it closer to the big circle of rose bushes.

Then Arnold's jaw dropped a little as he first saw Helga. At first, she just stood in front of the entrance of the circle of the rose bushes. But Helga shrugged as she walked into the circle of mostly red and less green. Arnold then slowly, and quietly so he won't surprise or scare Helga, walked into the circle as well.

In the circle, there was an oak tree that wasn't too big nor too small with a lot of branches big and small to where someone could climb and hide, there were yellow and gold christmas lights onto the tree, one plate and a fork were on the right and left side of the picnic cloth, rose petals were on, and surrounding, the red and white checkerboard picnic cloth, and a picnic basket was on the cloth as well.

Helga started to walk around, but then stepped as she stepped on something that sounded like paper as she blinked in surprise. She looked down as Helga sees a light yellow sticky note on the grass. Helga picked it up and she started to read it.

When she was done reading it, Helga tilted her head a little in confusion as she had one hand on her hip, and the other hand, assuming it's under her chin, looking like she's thinking about something. Arnold stood there, in awe and shock.

He felt his cheeks turned red with heat as he felt his heart beating out of his small chest. There she was. There was Cecile, who was really Helga,...his...true love. Just standing there. With her gold hair down, curly, and shiny, wearing the Cecile outfit from last year, and the yellow and gold lights, from the oak tree, shining around her, making Helga somehow...glow. Arnold can honestly say that, Helga has never been so beautiful before until now. 'Helga she...she looks so...s-so...gorgeo-'

THUMP!

Helga jumped in surprise, as well as Arnold, who also got out of his trance, as he was having one of his lovesick gazes, of Helga's natural beauty, as she and Arnold heard two sounds, that sounded like a bag with two or three items in it and a few things colliding together like leaves or stems of flowers, hit the ground by him dropping them. She then turned around to see him with the sapphire blue bag and a bouquet of roses, as it was on the ground on its side, and in a certain familiar getup.

"A-ARNOLD?!"

Helga yelled out in surprise as she blushed red on her cheeks. Arnold looked surprised, by how cute Helga is right now with her blushing, and mostly how he got caught. His black tie was undone, was sweating a little, considering that he sorta ran here because of her, and was blushing red onto his cheeks and ears as he stood there frozen, only a few feet away from Helga.

Meanwhile with Helga only two hour ago...

Helga woke up with a smile into her face. Today was the day of her relaxing in the park, with her best friend, and with a picnic. She sighed as she grabbed her gold locket from the inside of her nightgown and smiled at it adoringly as Helga kissed the picture frame.

Helga then got out of bed and went to her closet, closing the door behind her, and flipped the night switch as her closet came to life with colorful lights. Her Arnold shrine glowed with Christmas lights all around it, volumes with books of poems were around the floor and piling on one another, and various and random items were scattered all around the wooden floor.

Helga smiled at the shrine lovingly as she started going through her clothes. Until she found it, at the end of her closet, was her Cecile outfit. It was a little dusty in certain places, but nonetheless, it was still clean. After that night, she vowed, in Pataki's honor, to never wear the outfit again.

Helga wanted to keep it as a memory. A memory for her very first date with Arnold, showing her real self to him, him LIKING her real self, and to the fact that Arnold kissed her hand at the end of their date. Helga sighed as she grabbed her Cecile outfit and got out of the closet.

As she still had her Cecile outfit in her hand, Helga went to the bathroom to get ready. After 5 minutes, Helga went out the bathroom in her Cecile outfit. It fitted perfectly around her chest and waist, the pink and red-striped shirt wasn't so long and big like last time, and the purple skirt didn't change length because of her long legs.

Helga felt a bit uncomfortable, but shook it off since she'll just be going to the park in disguise. Without hesitation, Helga first grabbed her white shoes, and went into Olga's room as she went near her makeup kit. Sure she had certain makeup of her own, thanks to Olga buying her some at the mall one day, but if she was going in total disguise at the park, she had to LOOK GORGEOUS.

MORE gorgeous than Ruth, Summer, AND Lila combined! After a few minutes of going through Olga's makeup, Helga found mascara that'll make the eyelashes longer and bolder, eye shadow that was a orange-brown that'll look good with her eyes and bring them out more, pink powder blush, and a bolder shade of pink lipstick to match her outfit, along with raspberry-lemon lip gloss for the flavor and shine.

As she gathered all of the makeup and put it in the bathroom and locking it, she first put on her shoes so she didn't have to put them on last, then started brushing and curling her hair so she can also get over with it as well.

When she got done with her hair, it was down, shiny, and curly due to her using a curling iron and hairspray, so her hair will stay curly and in place that way, and it made her have bangs on the side of her head. Helga sighed tiredly as she started working on her makeup, hoping that she'll do a good job of applying it and that the makeup will do her some good on making her beautiful to the point NOBODY will recognize her.

5 minutes later...

When Helga was done putting on makeup, she was really impressed with her work. Her eyelashes were longer and more bolder. The eye shadow she had on looked good with her blue eyes and brought them out more. Upon her cheeks were rosy thanks to the pink powder blush.

And finally, the pink lipstick was perfect with her outfit and her lips were shiny and had flavor due to the lip gloss and its raspberry-lemon flavor. Helga can honestly say that she looked gorgeous enough for people to be turning their heads in shock and surprise!

'HA! Let's see what people think of me NOW like this!' Helga smiled proudly, happy that she did good on her makeup. As she finally took one more look at herself, making sure that nothing is messed up with her appearance so she can leave for the picnic with Phoebe, Helga noticed something else about her.

It was her unibrow. Now that'll let people notice her! She could decide to fix her hair so that'll cover her face, but due to using hairspray for the first time, and using it too much, Helga wasn't able to move her hair, and it'll hurt and mess up even if she'll try to move it.

Helga only had thing to do, it will hurt on what she'll be doing, but it'll be worth it as long as no one will recognize her, especially Arnold. Helga then went into the bathroom cabinet as she sees a pair of silver tweezers. Helga grabbed them and started, and carefully, plucked the middle of her unibrow.

When she was done, Helga looked into the mirror and took in all her work on her unibrow. It was thin, not together anymore, but now regular eye brows, and Helga was quite proud and happy that she did a pretty good job on her eyebrows for the second time nonetheless.

The last time she did it was terrible! But instead of following other people's directions, she did that all on her own. Helga still smiled proudly on how good she did with her eyebrows on her own as she got out of the bathroom, headed downstairs, and walked outside to go to the park, where she'll be waiting for Phoebe at the entrance, or so she thought.

As Helga continued to walk down the sidewalk towards the park, people kept on staring at her, whispering and mumbling comments about she looks, as she felt annoyed at eyes were on her. Helga started to speed walk down the sidewalk, hoping that the park is near her so she didn't have to listen to the people noticing her.

It was pretty nice that people are noticing her more as a girl than a boy, but this was making her feel slightly uncomfortable and more annoying. As she hoped, the park was to the other side of the street. Looking in both ways to make sure no cars or trucks are driving in the street, Helga ran across as she stood there in front of the entrance of the park.

Then Helga noticed something. Phoebe wasn't at the entrance. Confused, Helga started walking into the park, thinking why her best friend just left her like that. But then she assumed that Phoebe was at the front of the meadow waiting for her.

Feeling motivated by her thought, Helga continued walking towards the meadow. As she walking into the park, passing the big fountain and passing Mighty Pete's treehouse, eyes were still on her as Helga hear the whispers continuing such as...

"Wow who's that? She must be new here into town."

"Maybe she's famous! She's probably from New York or Paris!"

"She's so beautiful! Oh I wish I hair like that!"

Ignoring the comments she's hearing, Helga continued on walking towards the meadow in the park, hoping to see her best friend soon at the front of the meadow, that was close to her and that was half of the park, and not see anyone else familiar.

Helga then remembered something. She was supposed to meet Phoebe in the meadow that was the FAR back into the park. 'Doi!' Helga rolled her eyes as she started to the far back of the park. As she was walking, Helga was lost in thought. 'That actually is a pretty good spot for anyone to barely notice it was there. Hmmm I wonder what the meadow will look like since I never been there befo-'

Then Helga's jaw dropped a little as she in front of the meadow. It was big open field with fresh green grass. It had butterflies, flowers, and even a few bushes. As Helga walked around the meadow, she notices a few rose bushes, which were a LOT of them, in the edge of the meadow.

Helga started going around them, but then see's an entrance. Helga shrugged as she walked through the entrance. Since she couldn't find Phoebe at the front of the meadow, she realized that Phoebe must be in the circle of the rose bushes.

In the circle, there was an oak tree that wasn't too big nor too small with a lot of branches big and small to where someone could climb and hide, there were yellow and gold christmas lights onto the tree, rose petals were on the red and white checkerboard picnic cloth, and a picnic basket on it as well.

Helga then felt odd about this place. Phoebe wasn't here either. Where could she be? A little annoyed and confused, Helga started to walk around, but then stepped on something that sounded like paper as she blinked in surprise. She looked down as Helga sees a light yellow sticky note on the grass.

Helga picked it up and it said, 'Hope you and ic enjoy the picnic Helga! ;) Sincerely, Phoebe :)' Helga blinked in surprise. 'What did Phoebe mean by that? And who was 'ic'?' Helga thought as she put her hand on hip and the other under her chin in curiousness. She then thought again, 'Did Phoebe somehow set this place up? Has this always been here? Where the heck is she? and what in Mighty Pete sake is Phoebe up to-'

THUMP!

Helga jumped in surprise as she heard two sounds, that sounded like a bag with one or two items in it and a few things colliding together like leaves or stems of flowers, hit the ground. She then turned around to see a boy with a sapphire blue bag and a bouquet of roses, as it was on the ground on its side, and in a certain familiar getup. Helga blushed red on her cheeks and was unable to move on who was in front of her. It was-

"A-ARNOLD?!"

Arnold looked surprised, as his black tie was undone, and was sweating a little, assuming he ran here, was blushing red onto his cheeks and ears as he stood there frozen, only a few feet away from Helga.

'What have you PLANNED Pheebs?!'

Meanwhile with the fifth grade boy's of P.S. 118...

As the boys of the fifth grade class were in one side of the park, way before Arnold and Helga showed up, they were in black clothing and the clothes were painted in camouflage. They all even had black markings on each of their cheeks and also camouflage colors.

Sid was the first one to speak to the rest of the guys as they were all looking around the park, for any sign of Arnold. "So you guys know what we're doing right?" Sid said, just to make sure that the guys know what plan they made yesterday. The rest of the guys started speaking all at once. About spying, Arnold's secret admirer, and mostly teasing comments about their blond haired friend. Sid shook his head at his friends as he spoke up out of all of them.

"Were just gonna spy on Arnold and his secret admirer that's it! We're not gonna do anything to disturb or humiliate them! Especially Arnold ok?" They all sighed as they agreed with Sid. Harold then spoke up. "But where are we gonna hide if were just going to spy on them?"

Sid was about to reply to Harold, but as he opened his mouth, he actually didn't know what to do. HOW are they going to spy on them? As Sid was trying to think of something as a hiding spot for him and all the guys, while he was walking around, including the rest of them as they were still looking for Arnold, he suddenly sees a few rose petals on the ground. The rest of the guys notices the rose petals on the ground as well. That could only mean one thing.

"Arnold!" They all said in unison.

They quickly ran to the trail of rose petals as it led them to the meadow. They all looked around for any movement. Until Stinky said to them, "Look over yonder!" He then pointed in a direction of a lot of rose bushes, forming a circle around something.

They all quickly realized that THAT was the place for Arnold to be having his date. The group of boy's ran to the bushes, since it'll be a perfect place to be hiding. But the thorns of the bushes were painful and difficult to move for the fifth grade boy's.

As they all pushed and shoved to get a better view on what they're looking at, their eyes widened a little at what the scene looked like for Arnold's date. In the circle of the rose bushes, an oak tree that wasn't too big nor too small, there were yellow and gold christmas lights onto the tree, a few red things were on the red and white checkerboard picnic cloth, and a picnic basket on it as well.

They all then noticed two figures in the circle and their jaws suddenly dropped. There they were. Arnold in a tux, as his black tie was undone, and was sweating a little, assuming he ran here, looking like he was blushing and standing still, and there was his secret admirer.

She had her gold blond hair curly and it stayed in place. In a pink and red-striped shirt, a purple skirt, white, and oddly familiar, shoes, and also a pink, and again familiar, bow on top of her head. The guys heard Arnold's secret admirer yelled out his name, in a surprised voice, as Arnold blushed more red onto his cheeks and ears while standing there stiff.

The group of boy's couldn't help but muffle their chuckles and snickers at Arnold's state. It's just the way he's standing, his eyes were wide, the way he's blushing, and not him even SPEAKING to his secret admirer was PRICELESS! But for Arnold's sake, they all kept quiet for their football-headed friend.

Meanwhile with the fifth grade girl's of P.S. 118...

As the girl's of the fifth grade class were in the other side of the park, way before Arnold and Helga showed up, they were in black clothing. They all even had camouflage colors on their faces. Lil even had snacks and drinks in a green backpack for all of the girl's, just in case they get hungry or thirsty.

Rhonda was the first one to speak to the rest of the girl's as they were all looking around the park, for any sign of Arnold. "So ladies, you all know what we're doing right?" Rhonda said, just to make sure that all of the girl's know what plan they made yesterday. The rest of the girl's giggled and squealed a little as they all agreed with Rhonda. Rhonda smiled as she continued to speak.

"All were gonna do is just spy on Arnold and his secret admirer that's all. This is our only chance to see Arnold on a date! And we're not gonna do anything to disturb or humiliate them! Especially Arnold ok?" They all agreed and giggled and squealed more as they continued looking for Arnold in the park.

Until Lila then spoke up as she held the green backpack close to her. "Rhonda, as much as I ever so much like your plan, where are we gonna hide if were just going to...watch over Arnold on his date?" Rhonda blinked in surprise at Lila. She actually didn't know what to do.

HOW are they going to spy on them? As Rhonda was trying to think of something as a hiding spot for her and all the girl's, while she was walking around, including the rest of them as they were still looking for Arnold, Sheena suddenly said out loud, "Girls look!"

She pointed with a smile to a few rose petals on the ground, that lead them to the big meadow, and towards a big circle of rose bushes. The rest of the girl's notices the rose petals on the ground as well. They all immediately thought that THAT was the place Arnold was having his date at. The girl's squealed as they ran to the big circle of rose bushes.

The group of girl's ran to the bushes, since it'll be a perfect place to be hiding. But the thorns of the bushes were painful and difficult to move for the fifth grade girl's. As they all finally were in perfect spots to get a better view on what they're looking at, their eyes widened a little at what the scene looked like for Arnold's date.

In the circle of the rose bushes, an oak tree that wasn't too big nor too small, there were yellow and gold christmas lights onto the tree, a few red things were on the red and white checkerboard picnic cloth, and a picnic basket on it as well.

She had her gold blond hair curly and it stayed in place. In a pink and red-striped shirt, a purple skirt, white, and oddly familiar, shoes, and also a pink, and again familiar, bow on top of her head. The girl's heard Arnold's secret admirer yelled out his name, in a surprised voice, as Arnold blushed more red onto his cheeks and ears while standing there stiff.

The group of girl's couldn't help but muffle their giggles and squeals at Arnold's state. It's just the way he's standing, his eyes were wide, the way he's blushing, and not him even SPEAKING to his secret admirer was so adorable! But for Arnold's sake, they all kept quiet for Arnold.

Meanwhile with Gerald only three hours ago...

Gerald woke as he sat up on his bed. For a second, he didn't know what to do today, but as his plan for today came to his mind, Gerald's dark brown eyes widened in surprise. He immediately got out of bed and went to his closet. He then got out his camouflage clothing and shoes as he put them on.

He went underneath his bed and dragged out his dad's video camera and the footage for it. Gerald then got up and got out a dark green duffel bag from the closet and put the camera and the footage in it, zipping it up. He held the bag on his shoulder by the long handle as he went downstairs, grabbed a few snacks and drinks from the shelve and put them into his duffel bag, pieces of bacon that his mom made for him, and ran out of the door, eating the pieces of bacon, and ignoring his family asking why he was in so much of a rush.

As Gerald stood in front of the meadow, panting heavily for running all the way here from his house, as he rested his hand's on his knees, he took a deep breath and started walking into the meadow, looking around for any sign of something involving with Arnold's date.

Until he found a big circle of rose bushes. He smiled as he quickly walked to the circle, knowing that THAT must be the place Arnold was having his date. As he found the entrance of the circle, Gerald walked in and his eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the date setup.

There were yellow and gold christmas lights onto the tree, two plates and forks were on two sides of the picnic cloth, a light yellow vase was in the middle of the picnic cloth, a few rose petals were on, and also, around the red and white checkerboard picnic cloth, and a picnic basket was on it too.

As he continued walking around the setup, he notices a sticky note on the ground. As he was about to pick it up, he then hear footsteps on the other side of the rose bush circle. His eyes widened again as he quickly climbed the right of the tree, into the side of the branches and leaves, hoping that the person didn't notice him climbing.

Gerald looked down at who came into the rose bush circle. It was Arnold's secret admirer! And he was right too! It WAS Cecile! Her gold blond hair was curly and it stayed in place. She was also in a pink and red-striped shirt, a purple skirt, just like last year, white, and oddly familiar, shoes, and also the pink bow on top of her head.

Then Gerald heard a second pair of footsteps behind the rose bushes. His eyes widened, again, as he see's Arnold with a sapphire blue bag in one hand, the bouquet of roses in the other. He stood there frozen while his black tie was untied, look liking he ran all the way here, blushing a bright red on his cheeks and ears.

Then suddenly, he dropped the two items to the ground. Arnold's secret admirer suddenly turned around, her eyes being wide in shock. She then yelled out Arnold's name in surprise as Arnold blushed more and his small body was being more stiff. Gerald shook his head, closing his eyes, as he mumbled, "Mmm mmm mmm. Arnold you better get a hold of yourself man!" He rolled his eyes as he started recording Arnold and his secret admirer with the camera.

Meanwhile with Phoebe only five or six hours ago...

As Phoebe woke up, it was 5 in the morning. She still had a whole lotta work to do for the picnic, but it'll be worth it as long as it'll be perfect for Arnold and Helga. She got out of bed and started changing into camouflage clothing.

When she got done changing, Phoebe then downstairs, with the picnic basket and a red and white checkerboard cloth, into the kitchen, and started making the food for the picnic. She started cutting two oranges in half twice and put them in a small container.

Phoebe then got out bread, peanut butter and jelly, and started making two PB&J sandwiches, as she cut them in half, and also put them in separate containers. She also got out two Yahoo soda's from the fridge as she put them next to the PB&J containers in the basket.

Next, Phoebe got out a cookbook as she flipped through each page, until she found the right dinner to make for Arnold and Helga. She got out noodles, ground beef, tomato sauce, and some diced tomatoes from the pantry as she started making spaghetti for Arnold and Helga's dinner.

After 30 minutes, Phoebe separated the spaghetti into two separate containers as she put them into the picnic basket. Finally, for dessert, Phoebe started flipping through page after page until she found the page to make the dessert Phoebe's planning on making.

She grabbed various of food items from the pantry and shelves, as she started making cheesecake for dessert. After 2 hours, the cake was finally done as Phoebe put the cake gently into a cake container and carefully put it on top of the other food. She then went into one of the kitchen drawers, as she got out two forks, one light green and one light blue plates, a kitchen knife, and put them on the side of the basket.

Last thing she had to do, Phoebe went upstairs, came back with a few sticky notes and a pencil, the roses that was left from yesterday, as they were still fresh, the light blue and pink cup that contained the liquid of the love potion, the book of the history of the love potion, a small backpack full of snacks and drinks, and a small light yellow flower vase.

Phoebe put down the vase and the two cups as she grabbed a water bottle and put it into the picnic basket, along with the vase, and finally, the two cups that contained the love potion. Phoebe then carefully put the book into the backpack, hoping that the book wont crush the bags of snacks.

She then, and almost forgot to, grabbed a small wireless CD player that had a remote to it, and that it was a dark red, like the color of roses. Phoebe went through various CD's, until she found romantic background jazz music, even a certain love song that made Phoebe smile excitingly.

She cleaned up the kitchen, had the sticky notes and pencil in her pocket, held the CD player by the handle in one hand and the remote to go along with it, had the small backpack on her back, held the picnic basket carefully by the handle in the other, and left her house for the park.

As she was in the park, Phoebe asked different people on where was the most romantic spot in the whole park. Most adults were weirded out, by a 10 year old asking such a question, but some adults said that there was a certain spot in the far end of the meadow.

A spot that had a giant circle of rose bushes, had a sorta big oak tree in it, and it wasn't very popular since that spot was in the very old days. The very old day's until Arnold's Grandpa wasn't born yet! Yet, the new park gardener always goes there for cleaning up the area, especially when she's just caring for the rose bushes.

People say that every weekend, the gardener always comes to that spot just to clean it up, take care of the area, and making the scenery beautiful and romantic for couples. She even set up yellow and gold Christmas lights lately for the mood. Phoebe smiled excitingly as she quickly went to the edge of the meadow, hoping that people were right about the big circle of the rose bushes.

Thankfully, she was right. Right now, the lights that were around the oak tree were on, the tree still had green leaves, and the rose bushes looked more beautiful than ever! With no time to waist, Phoebe got started by placing the red and white checkerboard cloth onto the fresh green grass.

Next, Phoebe got out the two plates and forks as she set them down across from each other. She then got out the light yellow vase and the water bottle as she put the vase in the middle of the picnic cloth. Phoebe got out the the sticky notes and the pencil from her pocket as she wrote down on four sticky notes, 'This is for lunch first', 'This is for dinner', 'The two light color cups are to go with the dessert you two! :)', and lastly, for Helga 'Hope you and ic enjoy the picnic Helga! ;) Sincerely, Phoebe :)'.

Phoebe couldn't help but giggle at the image of Helga seeing Arnold. She got out of all containers of food as she put the one for Helga onto the ground, and the right sticky note, with the right message, on the right container as she put them back.

Phoebe then grabbed the last of the roses as she put most of them in the flower vase. She then grabbed the small multiple CD player, as it contain romantic background jazz music, including a certain love song she'll be playing while Arnold and Helga are eating dinner, as she put it against the oak tree, covering it in camouflage by grabbing some sticks that has a bunch of leaves of them, as she still had the remote for the CD player in her pocket. Still with a few roses in her hand left, Phoebe smiled as an idea came to her. She then grabbed the petals from the leftover roses and started to sprinkle them around and on the picnic cloth to set the mood more.

Phoebe then backed away from the picnic setup and smiled proudly as everything was in its place. The right food containers were top of one another in the basket, in order from lunch, dinner, and finally dessert. The plates and forks were on the right side and across from one another.

The setup was glowing due to the lights from the tree. The vase held a held a few roses, that was almost filled with water. And the rose petals made the whole picnic look more romantic. Phoebe giggled again as she was happy that all of this was ready just in time.

She suddenly heard movement from outside the circle. Quickly, Phoebe climbed the tree. She was originally gonna plan hiding in the rose bushes, but this was actually a whole lot better. If she were to hide of the bushes, the thorns may hurt her, and it'll most likely to cause her to make some noises of pain, making her ruining the date, and her plan.

Phoebe ended up climbing at the far left of the tree as she sat on a big branch, with the small backpack in her lap. Surprisingly, she notices a little bit of movement on the right side of the tree, but she didn't move to see on what it was as she thought it was a squirrel or something.

Phoebe then looked down to see Helga walking into the the rose bush circle. Phoebe can tell she was a little confused. She then thought that Helga thought that she was gonna meet her at the front of the meadow. Phoebe frowned a little until she smiled again.

Arnold was walking into the circle as he was in a tux,had a sapphire blue bag in his hand, and a bouquet of roses in the other. She couldn't help but giggled at him standing still while blushing red on his cheeks and ears. He then suddenly dropped both items to the ground, causing Helga to jump and turn around. Her cheeks and ears was also red. Helga yelled out Arnold's name in surprise as Arnold blushed more. Phoebe giggled to herself.

Back to the present...

Everything and everyone was silent. No movement, no words, not even breathing. There was...silence except for the warm wind blowing and the birds chirping. Arnold cleared his throat, trying to calm himself down as he picked up the roses, and the bag off the ground.

Arnold then started walking to Helga with his usual kind smile he gives everyone, trying not to get lost by her beauty. "Hey He-" "Don't you 'Hey' me Arnoldo! Just WHAT exactly are you doing here?!" Helga said as she stomped towards him with a scowl. 'WHY is he have to be HERE of all places?!'

Since everyone else was hiding, they couldn't tell what they're saying as they looked surprised at what it looks like yelling from Arnold's secret admirer. Arnold blushed again, only slightly at Helga's angry, yet cute, question. He looked away as he said, "Well I just came here to talk to you since that poem you turned in on Friday."

Then Helga's eyes widened as her breathing stopped, and her completely forgetting about the poem. 'W...What I said...in that poem...the hopes...of a-affection...the...question I asked...for the dance and...the meetup spot...Criminy I really AM a basketcase.'

Helga slapped herself on the forehead as she growled a little to herself. Arnold looked at her in worry, hoping that she was ok. As she dropped her hand to her side, Helga took a deep breath, let it out, and looked back at Arnold as he still looked at her in concern.

"Arnoldo. I completely forgotten all about the poem, making me forget about the meetup, and...making me forget about meeting you here." As she was saying her sentence, Helga sat at one side of the picnic, and Arnold sat on the other side, putting the gifts he brought for Helga behind him.

Arnold smiled at her reassuringly. "It's ok Helga. At least no one isn't around to see all of this. Did you happen to...set all of this up?" Helga chuckled a little as she said with a smirk on her pink and shiny lips, "Nope ain't me Football Head. It must've been Phoebe who set all of this up.

Wow, I gotta admit though. She did a great job planning all of this! She must've wanted the two of us to talk about our plan for the dance. Hehe I guess she isn't the only one who's good at schemes involving love and romance." Helga laughed a little with a smile.

Arnold smiled at Helga, happy that she's a little comfortable being here and around him. Though he couldn't help but smile dreamily at the girl in front of him he now loved. She looked even more beautiful no than ever. Yet he couldn't help but blush more at what Helga said involving, 'schemes involving love and romance'.

Gerald and the group of boy's couldn't but laugh at the conservation, even though they couldn't hear it. And also the same thing with Phoebe and the group of girls as they couldn't help but giggle at Arnold and his secret admirer.

Helga sighed as she looked at the picnic basket that was over to her and her beloved's side. "Well, I guess we shouldn't let all this go to waste am I right Arnoldo?" She looked back at Arnold and blinked at him in bewildered expression.

Arnold sat there in a criss-cross form as his cheeks were red, he had a half lidded gaze, and he was smiling dreamily at her. 'Sigh...there's something different about her that makes so...so much beautiful now. But I just can't put my finger on it...' Helga blinked a few times.

'H...How come he's looking at me that way...? Hmmmm...ah! Right he now realizes that I'M Cecile! Doi! And the way he's blushing must've mean he likes the Cecile side of me. Eh oh well. At least it's better than nothing. I just hope soon that the little shrimp likes me for the tougher side of me too. Sigh I can't him look at me like that all day. Even though I REALLY want him to. And besides, I'm starving over here!'

She then scoffed and said, "Hello? Earth to Football Head? Wake up Hair Boy! It's pretty rude to ignore a girl you know?" Helga scowled a little at him, yet couldn't help but smile at the way her beloved looked like right now, as she shoved Arnold a little on the shoulder.

He blinked a few times and looked away, blushing a little more on his cheeks and ears. "S-Sorry Helga. It's just...there's something different about you. I just can't figure it out." Helga rolled her eyes, though couldn't help but smile a little bit more.

'Oh Arnold...you can be so dense when it's right in front of your face.' She looked back at him with a half a smile. "It's my unibrow Football Head. Since Phoebe suggested that I should wear a disguise to the park because of what happened on Friday..."

'And most likely yesterday.' "of when you asked me as a friend to the dance, I decided to completely change my look you know? I had to do it since SOMEONE practically asked me out on a date to the dance." Helga then smirked in amusement as Arnold blushed a bright red in embarrassment as his emerald eyes went wide. "W-What?! N-No that's not it! I-I only asked y-" Then suddenly, Helga started to laugh.

Arnold blinked in surprise as Helga continued to laugh. The group of guy's, and Gerald, couldn't help but snicker and laugh a little at Arnold looking embarrassed as they started making teasing comments about him. The group of girl's, including Phoebe, were giggling and laughing a little too at Arnold being embarrassed by his secret admirer.

When Helga got done laughing, she said while wiping a tear away from her eye, "S-Sorry Arnoldo. I couldn't help it you know? And I know. You only asked me as a friend and I accept your invitation. And for the part of teasing you, well..." She then looked at him scowling a little.

"I'M the only one who get's to pick on you!" 'Ok Helga. Now you gotta make sure that he won't fully understand on what you meant.' She then leaned close to Arnold as she was on her knees, causing him to lean back a little and blush more as Helga pointed a finger on his chest, and surprisingly, over his heart once again.

"And DON'T read too much into what I JUST said! You got that?" Helga sat back down in her spot as she continued to scowl at him, waiting for an answer from him as she smiled inside. 'There we go! All that I have to do is let him say his usual, 'Whatever you say Helga' excuse, I'll say 'That's right Football Head! Whatever I say!' to him, and we'll move on! Easy!'

Arnold gulped a little, trying to calm himself down from Helga being close to him. Arnold breathed normally, and also his heart beat was normal again, as he smiled at Helga with his usual half lidded look and smile. "Whatever you say Helga." Helga smirked again in satisfaction as she crossed her arms against her chest.

"That's right Football Head! Whatever I say! Now enough talk! I'm hungry." She smiled a little as she went through the basket, along with Arnold, who got out two containers, and Helga got out two Yahoo sodas. She put one of them on Arnold's side of the picnic blanket as she grabbed two of the four containers Arnold gave her.

They both opened th containers and started eating. They both smile at their food, as they can also tell that Phoebe made the sandwiches and the rest of the food in the basket, and continued eating as they started eating the cut up oranges.

Phoebe decided to go with Phase 1 of her plan as she started thinking of which romantic background music to play. As they ate together, Arnold and Helga heard music from somewhere. It started out as slow piano, but then it went along with drums, and finally a saxaphone playing smoothly.

Arnold and Helga blushed red on their cheeks as they looked away from each other, but couldn't help but have small smiles on their faces. They both assumed that it was Phoebe that started playing the music from somewhere.

Gerald chuckled a little, saying while he was still recording them, "Come on Arnold. Make a move!" He mumbled under his breath as he continued recording them, hoping his best friend will do something. The camouflage clothing boy's were trying their best not to laugh out loud as they were all covering their mouths, yet a few of them smiled at the blond couple, feeling happy for their friend.

On the other side of the tree, Phoebe giggled at the two, including the rest of the black clothing girl's that are hiding, happy to see that the two blondes are smiling while listening to the romantic background music and eating. When they started drinking their Yahoo sodas, Helga sighed a little in relief and a little bit of sadness, along the same thing with Arnold, that the music stopped playing.

Arnold this time went over to the basket and got out two warm containers as he gave one of the containers to Helga. As Helga grabbed it, she felt Arnold's hand on the bottom of her's. They looked at each in surprise as they locked eyes. Blue then meets green once again.

The color of each other's eyes were shining of the reflection of the yellow and gold lights as the two 10 year old's were close to other another. 'Her eyes...they're so beautiful. Especially right now...! How the eye shadow on her eyelids goes perfect with them and how the mascara on her eyelashes make them more beautiful than ever...sigh...Helga's really IS some girl fall in love with...and to...l-love you...back...I...I love you Helga...'

Arnold started to get a little closer to Helga as he was so entranced by her. Her looks, her sweet and pretty vanilla scent, her gold silk hair, her ocean blue eyes, her amazing personality, just...everything about her captivated him.

The same thing was going on with Helga, only she tried to FIGHT off this trance she was in. 'Oh no...I'm falling for his green emerald eyes again! Come on Helga! Get a grip!...A grip on how his gorgeous emerald green eyes are! Ohhh...! Grrrr! Come on! Get yourself together! He's only looking at you that way because you only just remind him more of freaking Cecile! You gotta get out of this trance NOW!'

Helga then pulled away from Arnold as Arnold blinked in surprise. Phoebe gaped at Arnold and Helga, upset that he didn't tell Helga that he loved her and upset that she didn't try to go for a kiss from Arnold. She just wanted to yell, 'OH COME OOON!', but she knew it would ruin everything.

He looked at Helga in curiousness as she breathed heavily a little while gripping the picnic cloth underneath them. Helga sighed as she opened the container that had spaghetti and was about to eat, until she still see's Arnold looking at her.

Helga then rolled her eyes as she scowled at him, yet couldn't stop a smile forming a little. "Take a picture Football Head. It'll last longer." And with that, Helga started to eat her spaghetti still with the smile on her face, happy that the spaghetti tastes great and that she has something to eat, as her blush gone down. Arnold cleared his throat a little as he started to eat his spaghetti as well.

Then romantic music started playing again, causing Arnold and Helga to blush red again. The music was a violin and mostly saxophone playing as music, and even a little bit of piano and drums here and there. As they continued eating, Arnold looked at Helga, who was looking away from him while eating.

Arnold looked up at Helga and asked, "Hey Helga? So for our plan at the dance, what are we gonna do when were together if we're just going to watch over Gerald and Phoebe?" He asked as Helga looked up at him in surprise as she replied, after swallowing the last of her spaghetti.

"Well, we just watch over them, pretend to hang out with each other, and all that. But NO funny business Football Head!" Arnold made a sound, and also couldn't help but chuckle a little, indicating that he agreed with Helga about their plan for the dance next Friday.

He then see's, even though he couldn't tell what it was, Helga having a tomato smudge of her cheek, and it couldn't bothered him a little. Arnold leaned over to Helga as he looked at her intently, to get a better view on what was there on her cheek, as she looked at him in surprise with blinking multiple times, making her look more beautiful, while blushing a light red on her cheeks and ears.

The boys, including Gerald, and the girls, including Phoebe, looked at Arnold in surprising smiles as they all started eating their snacks quietly and with anticipation. Arnold was right. There was indeed a smudge of tomato sauce on Helga's cheek.

He could kiss her cheek, but he was afraid she may keep her guard up more. So without scaring her, Arnold gently held, and couldn't help but caress a little on, Helga's left cheek as he used his thumb to gently wiped the red sauce off of her cheek.

For a few good seconds of staring at the purple, but more pink, and gold beauty in front of him, he pulled his hand away from Helga, leaving her leaning back with her breathing through her mouth shakingly and her blushing red on her cheeks.

She couldn't even be able to think straight, or couldn't think AT ALL, on what just happened to her as she felt like she was in the clouds. Well certain football-headed shaped green, blue and cornflower colored clouds too if she may add.

But then one word came to her on WHY Arnold did it. 'Cecile.' Helga got out of her state of shock as she got out the two light color cups and the gave the light blue cup to Arnold and kept the light pink cup to herself as she grabbed the cake container as it had a whole cheesecake.

Arnold and Helga quickly smiled, looking at the cake in hunger and mostly delight. Helga then quickly, and carefully, opened the container, and started to slice a piece for Arnold and herself with the kitchen knife from the basket. When she was done cutting, Helga gave the piece to Arnold on his plate and the same thing to her plate.

They then started to eat with happy smiles on their faces. Even Helga hummed and giggled in delight as she continued eating her slice of cheesecake. Arnold smiled at her, seeing her enjoying herself again, and he also couldn't stop staring at the girl that captured his heart, as he was about to take another bite of his cheesecake.

SPLAT!

Until he felt something hit his nose, making the bite piece of his cheesecake making a small mess on his nose. Helga looked at Arnold in little surprise, until she burst out into laughter, but mostly into a giggle fest as she covered her mouth.

Arnold blushed a bright red of embarrassment at what he did to himself, for getting himself so distracted by staring at Helga, but mostly at the way Helga's laughing and mostly giggling. It was light, sweet, and adorable. It was like music to his ears.

When Helga stopped laughing, well mostly giggling, she looked at Arnold with a smile. "Hehe well I guess that's what you get for trying to flirt with me Arnoldo! And there's just one more thing to put the cherry on top of your hilarious..." 'and VERY adorable' "...embarrassment AND to easily get my revenge on what you just did to me a few minutes ago."

"What's that Helga?" Arnold asked with a curious smile though he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous on what Helga was going to do him as her revenge. She looked at Arnold as she leaned in a little towards Arnold as she started fixing his tie.

Arnold blushed a little as Helga hummed a little as she continued to fix his tie. When she got done tying it, Helga pulled Arnold closer to her as she smiled at him while her forehead was against his and said in a flirtatious voice, "Hey Arnold."

Helga then pulled away from Arnold as she let go of Arnold's black tie. Arnold blushed slightly red on his cheeks. But then he smiled a little. "W-Was that the revenge you were talking about Helga?" Helga chuckled a little. "No I just wanted to do that for fun and to tease you of course."

But then she started looking into his eyes with a mischievous grin on her pink shiny lips. There was a twinkle in her blue eyes, indicating that there was something up involving with Helga's revenge on Arnold, and that made Arnold more nervous.

"T-Then what?" Arnold asked. Even though everyone couldn't hear what they were saying, they wanted to know what Arnold's secret admirer was going to do to Arnold since what Arnold did to his secret admirer. "This." Helga said with a smug grin.

Then everything went into a flash at an instant.

To everyone's surprise, especially to Arnold, Helga leaned in VERY close to Arnold's face, to the point Arnold's back almost hit the ground, as his elbows and his lower arms were on the ground, almost squishing the bag and roses, close enough to nose to nose, with loving half lidded eyes and a smile.

She giggled very lightly and sweetly at Arnold's reaction and also didn't notice that he was wearing cologne when he got here. 'He smells so...manly ohhhh...Ok Helga now you really gotta REALLY get him back for what boyish charms he threw at you! Time to throw my GIRLish charms at HIM!'

Then, very slowly and slyly, Helga brought her left hand down to Arnold's hand as she tiptoed her fingers slowly up to his arm, shoulder, head, and finally to his hair, and started twirling and playing the end of his tufts of cornflower hair she loved and worshiped sweetly.

His face was a crimson color as his eyes were VERY widened to this point and she can tell he wasn't breathing through his mouth or nose. Arnold's brain stopped working, and also felt fuzzy too, as he wasn't able to know what was happening on what Helga was doing to him.

He felt paralyzed.

With shock, but mostly love and happiness all over his body. Arnold started to feel light-headed, but it was sort of a good light-headed for him as his heart beated madly out of his chest. Suddenly, Helga stopped twirling his hair and started to drag two fingers down starting at the forehead, slowly going straight down, and stopping between his eyebrows.

Helga then moved her head closer to Arnold's, to the point their lips would meet if one of them would pucker or leaned in more. Helga said to Arnold, in an airy, girlish, cooing, romantic, and flirtatious whisper, "You know Arnold, your very cute. So. Very. Cute AND handsome."

Helga then giggle sweetly, yet girlish, again as she tilted her head and closed her eyes, making her look like she was about to kiss Arnold, but then pulled her head back to top it all off of her revenge. She continued to drag her two fingers down her forehead, wiping the cheesecake off of his nose. Helga then pulled away. Practically being top of Arnold, she was blushing red too herself, but smiled smugly and in satisfaction at her beloved nonetheless as she crossed her arms on her chest.

Arnold felt frozen, as he was still on the ground, and can still feel the warmth of Helga's body on him. His cheeks and ears practically BURNED with heat and color from what Helga just did to him. He felt like time had frozed. Arnold then began to slowly process on what just happened in his mind.

'She...she was on top...of me and...her body was close to mine...Helga...felt so warm...and she...t-tiptoed her finger from my hand...t-to my head s-slowly and g-gently...Helga...looked so beautiful that way...with her eyes half lidded...her pink and shiny lips smiling sweetly at me...they were so close to mine...and she even...c-called me c-cute and h-handsome...Helga w-was about to k-k-kiss m-me...and she even g-giggled to top everything off for her r-revenge...'

Arnold took a breath and let it out, though it was more of a shuddery sigh. He then got back and looked up at Helga. She was just sitting there with her arms crossed on her chest, look liking she was waiting for a response from him.

Arnold cleared his throat as he said, "Y-You got me Helga hehe. And um..." Arnold was trying to ask something from her, but it look's like he was having trouble by trying not to embarrass her. Helga raised an eyebrow at him. "Something you want to ask me Arno-?"

"Do you really think that I'm cute and h-handsome Helga?" Arnold asked sheepishly with a little grin. Helga's eyes widened as her cheeks turned red with heat. She stopped breathing as her mind went wildfire with thoughts. 'I-I can't believe that...t-that I called him CUTE AND HANDSOME!'

Helga started to breathe through her mouth as she starting to think on what to say back to Arnold. Arnold started to look worry as he put a hand on her shoulder for comfort. Helga jumped in surprise at Arnold hand on her shoulder. "Helga are you okay? It's ok if you called me-"

"OH LOOK! THERE'S STILL SOME CHEESECAKE LEFT ARNOLD! DON'T WANT IT TO GO TO WASTE NOW DO WE HAHAHA!" Helga then shakingly cut off two slices of cheesecake as she gave one to Arnold and to herself as she started eating.

Helga calmed down a little by eating her slice as she breathed normally and smiled again. Arnold smiled at her, happy that she finally calmed down. He then frowned a little at Helga as she still looked away from him in embarrassment. Phoebe, and the rest of the girls, frowned at the exchange of Arnold and his secret admirer's conversation, even though they still couldn't hear it.

Phoebe smiled as it was time to go onto Phase 2 of her plan. She then turned on a love song with the remote that would've been perfect for Arnold and Helga. It started out as bells ringing and violin playing in melody, but as it fade away, a slow piano started playing as a woman started singing.

"I love you.
I don't know what else to say,
'Cause I long for you more each day."

Arnold and Helga looked up at each other in surprise for a few seconds, but then quickly looked away from each other frowning while blushing and there heart's beating a little faster.

'I need you.
"I want to feel your embrace,
And have a chance to touch your face"

Arnold slowly looked back at Helga, who was still looking away from him. He really didn't want to just sit here as a romantic song was still playing. He needed to do something, but then had an idea. Arnold smiled kindly at her as he got up the ground and walked up to her as he offer a hand to her.

"Helga? Would you like to dance?" Helga looked up at Arnold in surprise at first, but then frowned as she took his hand and stood up. "Fine Football Head, but don't get too mushy you got that?" Arnold chuckled a little as he said, "Whatever you say Helga."

Arnold then was about to put both arms around her waist, but he hesitated while looking away. Helga sighed and rolled her eyes with a smile, on how adorable he is when he's embarrassed, as she grabbed her beloved's hands and wrapped them around her waist with a smirk. She then put both hands on his shoulders and said, "Seriously Arnoldo? You can't dance with a girl now? What happened to 'Tango Arnold'?" Arnold laughed a little nervously. "I-I guess I'm just nervous Helga."

"I was lost and alone
But you showed me the way."
"Now I call you my own
Things will never be the same"

Helga rolled her eyes again with a smile as they started to dance and swing a little in a circle. "Arnold you do know there's nothing to be nervous about right? It's just me. Helga G. Pataki and no one else around. Well, except Phoebe, considering she's around here somewhere." Arnold laughed a little and said, "Y-Yeah I know. I guess I just never danced with a pretty girl before that's all."

"How could I've known
You will hold me close so tenderly
Even though I'm alone
I can feel your arms enfold in me."

Helga blinked a few times in surprise at Arnold as she blushed again. "Y-You...think I'm...pretty?" Arnold looked up at Helga with a sheepish grin as he replied, "Well yeah Helga. You may not be the most prettiest girl in class, but your b-beautiful in your own way. Your tough, smart, loyal, helpful, you can be caring and kind too sometimes, and that's what makes you so pretty Helga."

Helga looked at Arnold with a surprised look, but then she looked away blushing shyly while smiling a little."T-Thanks Arnoldo. That means...a lot to me you know?" "Your welcome Helga." They smiled a little at each other as they continued to dance away while the song was still playing.

The sun was started to starting to set soon as they looked at the sun. It was a gold yellowish color as the sky had clouds and they were blue and even pink. The colors reminded the two kids of each other and smiled more lovingly at the view.

"And that love, became mine in just one night
When you held me tight
Oooh."
"It felt so right."

"I feel you
You're always here in my heart
It's where I've kept you since we fell apart."

As they continued to dance, fireflies came around them, making Arnold and Helga glow for one another as they secretly smiled lovingly at one another. From where the fireflies came from, Nadine opened a jar of fireflies she collected for the date just in case yesterday after she and the girls went to the store.

Arnold then grabbed Helga's hand from his shoulder and started to swing a little with her to the music. Helga blinked in surprise, but her pink and shiny lips smiled smugly again. "Trying to be romantic eh Football Head?" Arnold blushed a little as he smiled at her.

"Well can't I be a gentleman to a pretty lady Helga?" It was Helga's turn to blush a little as she puffed her cheeks in annoyance, though couldn't but smile a little, secretly trying to get back at her beloved by looking cute. "Quite flirting Arnoldo."

Arnold cleared his throat and blushed more by Helga looking cute as he looked away from her a little. But then looked back at Helga and the same thing with her. "Whatever you say Helga." They looked at each other with smiles, savoring each other's presence and the lyrics.

"I was lost and alone,
But you showed me the way.
Can't go on on my own,
Wishing that you would stay."

"How could I've known
You will hold me close so tenderly
Even though I'm alone
I can feel your arms enfold in me."

"I feel you
You're always here in my heart
It's where I've kept you since we fell apart."

As they continue to dance to the instrumental part of the music, Arnold let go of Helga's waist and started to spin her. At first Helga looked surprised, but started to giggle more with every spin. It made Arnold's heart beat and flutter more as he smiled at her. 'Oh my beloved! NEVER stop spinning me! And how your looking at me is such pure bliss! Ohhhh...!'

Helga swooned inside as she felt Arnold's arm around her waist again. Meanwhile with everyone who was hiding and looking at the two blondes dancing together, the group of boys were trying their best not to burst out laughing or gagging at the romantic music and dancing. The group of girls were trying their best not to giggle and squeal at the dancing and chemistry between Arnold and his secret admirer.

"I was lost and alone
But you showed me the way
Can't go on on my own
Wishing that you would stay
Tell me that you would stay...

Arnold stood there in surprise. Helga hugged him with a smile while her hands were around his neck as sh nuzzled the top of his head a little with her cheek. She was so happy, so happy that she was actually dancing with Arnold to a song. A LOVE song.

'Even though he thinks he's dancing with Cecile, at least it's better than nothing. Oh but he's dancing with ME to a LOVE SONG! Ohhhhh...Arnold my beloved, I love you...I love you...so much...' Helga hugged closer to Arnold as she smiled and blushed more while she closed her eyes happily.

Arnold just hugged her back with his arms around her waist, feeling her heartbeat against his. This moment, right here with Helga in his embrace while dancing to a song that was right for them, Arnold couldn't be more happier than ever before and he fallen more in love with Helga.

"How could I've known
(how could I've known, ooohhh)
You will hold me close so tenderly,
Even though I'm alone
I can feel your arms enfold in me.
(your arms enfold me)
And that love, became mine in just one night
When you held me tight
Oooh.
It felt so right.
Felt so right.
Hmmm
Felt so right."

When the song was almost done, Arnold and Helga continued to dance. But as they were focused on one another, there was root sticking out from the tree. Helga tripped on it, making her almost fall to the ground, but Arnold caught her just in time.

He held her close to him as her arms were around Arnold's neck and Arnold's arms were around Helga's waist. They looked at each other as they pant a little in surprise. As the fireflies continued to fly around them, Arnold look like he was glowing as his green eyes shined, which Helga smiled at, and Helga glowed and her eyes also shined because of the sun setting.

'She looked even more beautiful like this.' Arnold thought. They both smiled at each other as the song continued to play. But as they stared at each other, they locked eyes once again. They were hypnotized by each other. Their look's, theirs personalities, their actions for one another, everything about each other in awe and love struck.

Arnold and Helga then leaned in close to one another as Arnold held Helga's cheek while the other held her hand. Helga did the same thing as they both leaned in closer to one another. Then eyes slowly closing, theirs heart's racing, their cheeks and ears turning more and more red with heat.

Until Helga stopped. She can't do this. No matter how she wanted to kiss Arnold, she couldn't do it because of one reason only. 'I want him to love the real me. Not some mysterious girl. I want Arnold to love the real Helga G. Pataki. Not some dolled up, fake, dressed up, makeup wearing, feminine, pretty girl, me. Sorry my beloved, but if you really DO want to kiss me, then you gotta truly love and care for the real me.' '

Helga then pulled away from Arnold's embrace as she sat down on the picnic blanket. Arnold blinked a few times in surprise as he looked at her in curiousness, but inside he felt a little sad. But then realized why isn't a good time for a kiss.

'I needed to confess first. A gentleman doesn't just kiss a girl first then tells them that he loves her. That would make her feel surprised and probably run off. And besides, she's probably still embarrassed about what she said to me earlier.'

He then nodded to himself as he sat down back in his spot. The group of guys, but also Gerald who put in a new set of footage and continued to record them, looked at Arnold and his secret admirer in surprise. The group of girls, and also Phoebe, also looked surprise at the two blondes at the picnic.

They were about to KISS! Arnold was about to have his FIRST REAL KISS! But his secret admirer STOPPED it! Why would she stop it if she likes, well in this case from what the poem said two days ago, loves Arnold? It just doesn't make any sense!

As Arnold and Helga were finishing the cake by now, Arnold almost forgot the stuff he brought Helga. "Um Helga?" Helga hummed curiously as she had a bite of her last cheesecake slice in her mouth. Arnold first brought out the bouquet of roses and the box of chocolates to Helga with a shy smile.

"H-Happy two days late Valentines Day Helga." Helga looked up and her blue eyes widened as she almost choked on her bite of cheesecake. She then swallowed and slowly took the chocolates and roses in awe and happiness. Helga smiled loving at the items in her hands as she hugged Arnold quickly, before Arnold could hug her back.

"Thank you Arnold. This is very sweet of you. I love them." 'I can't believe that my beloved brought me GIFTS! Oh how I will love and cherish them for all eternity! I'll keep them in my closet safely forever with my shrine and my books of poems! Oh I love you my sweet, my darling, my love! Ohhhh...!'

Arnold smiled sweetly at her. "Your welcome Helga." Helga inhaled the roses and sighed happily as she put the two items to her side. Phoebe finally activated Phase 3 as she started to push play of the final music for them taking the love potion.

The music started out as a piano was playing, but then a saxophone began to play as romantic and enchanting music started to play. Helga sighed a she see's the light pink cup in front of her and grabbed it. She looked up at her beloved as he held the light blue cup in his hand.

"Well, here's to this...well, meetup Football Head." Arnold and Helga then 'clinked' their drinks as they opened the lid. The bright pink liquid glowed brightly to the point everyone in the meadow saw it. Arnold and Helga looked at the substance in their cups in surprise.

The light from it stopped glowing as bright pink heart bubbles continued to come out of the cup's. They both felt weirded and also freaked out by what Phoebe must've put in their drink, but then Arnold said, "It must be a glowing effect.

There's probably a light at the bottom of the cup or something. And she probably added a kind of substance to have h-heart shaped bubbles coming out of the cup Helga." Helga hummed in curiousness, but then shrugged as she smiled.

"Yeah I mean Pheebs the genius out of the two of us. Well, bottom's up!" Helga sad that as she drank all of her drink and the same thing with Arnold. Phoebe said in her mind while smiling excitingly, 'They're drinking it! They're drinking it! THEY'RE DRINKING IT!' When they got done drinking their drinks, Arnold and Helga smiled at each other, feeling happy yet sad that their 'meetup' will be over so-

HICCUP!

Then suddenly, to everyone's surprise, especially Arnold and Helga's, two bright pink half heart-shaped bubbles came out of their mouths when they hiccuped. They both came together as Arnold and Helga immediately leaned in close to one another while they locked eyes with shades of pink in their eyes, then disappearing as they backed their heads away while blinking in surprise.

'They're looking into each other's eyes!' Phoebe then giggled to herself. 'They're about to be in for a big surprise!' Then Arnold and Helga started to lean in closer while they blinked each time. As well as everyone with anticipation as they started eating again in suspense, as Gerald and Phoebe leaned closer on their branches.

And closer.

And closer until,

"Arnold?" Helga's ocean blue eyes were sparkling with love and care while smiling as Arnold replied with his emerald green eyes the same way for her, "Yeah?" Everyone's mouth's were gaped open, hoping that they might kiss or ANYTHING affectionate so some of them can laugh at them, giggle, and anything else that may get them caught.

As to the part of them getting caught however, they all didn't care considering they were holding everything back in them of anything loud and embarrassing for Arnold and his secret admirer since the beginning of the date.

"Will you be my very special Valentine?" Helga asked as Arnold was smiling at her lovingly. "Yeah." They continued to look at each other with half lidded loving eyes, smiling at one another in awe and love, and being so lost by each oth-

"YES!"

Everyone, well mostly Phoebe, said as they all popped out of their hiding spots as most of them giggled and laughed at Arnold and his secret admirer. But they all stopped as they looked at each and everyone hiding in shock. "What are you guys doing here? Well we came here to see Arnold on his date! Really? So did we!"

They all said in unison as they started getting out of there hiding spots and started talking and walking to one another. As they were all doing that, Gerald and Phoebe looked at one another in surprise, realizing that they were on the same tree.

Gerald smiled nervously as he said while blushing slightly, "H-Hey babe! What're you doing here? I thought I heard that you were suppose to hang out with Pataki today." Phoebe's eyes widened in surprise as she looked away from him. "U-Um well I uh..."

As she was trying to find a good reason for being here, Gerald looked at what she was holding close to her. It was a dark red remote that had a red light on. Gerald's eyes widened a little as he looked down at the picnic setup. The dark red music player was still on, playing the romantic background music.

The African-American boy's dark brown eyes widened a little as he looked back at Phoebe. "Phoebe YOU set all of this up? That means..." Then Gerald gasped as he looked at Arnold's secret admirer. She and Arnold still looking at each other in the eyes lovingly as everyone else was talking.

"YOU KNOW WHO CECILE IS?!" Phoebe's eyes widened as she and Gerald heard gasps under them. Every fifth grader was there and was staring at the two kids in the tree. Phoebe gulped and said. "Y-Yes..." Everyone started to yell out who it is and how long has she known.

She and Gerald started to get down the tree. Phoebe was suddenly surrounded by her classmates, continuing to ask questions. "Stop PLEASE!" Phoebe said as all of them stopped asking questions, surprised to hear Phoebe, the quiet and shy, smart girl in their class, to yell like that.

Rhonda then started to speak. "Phoebe darling you HAVE to tell us! This is major! And this girl here," She pointed at Arnold's secret admirer as she and Arnold are still staring at each other lovingly, unfazed and not noticing by everyone around them as they are now standing.

"may be Arnold's FIRST EVER girlfriend! And I gotta admit, she cleans up nice and dresses up beautiful! So please Phoebe, tell me who this girl is! I'm begging you here! We ALL are!" Everyone pleaded to Phoebe, including Gerald, as Phoebe blinked in surprise. But then looked away from them nervously. 'Should I tell everyone? If I did then...Helga will REALLY get upset at me and everyone else. What should I-?'

"HAHAHA! Awwnoooolld's in LOOOOOVE! BWAHAHA!"

Said Harold in the crowd of kids as the boy's started to laugh out loud to Arnold and his secret admirer as the two blonde kids were still staring at each other. After a few minutes of laughter, even though there were some who weren't done, they started to chant,

"Arnold's in lo~ove! Arnold's in lo~ove!"

Then Helga said, "He's my special valentine." She said in a airy, cooing, and romantic voice as she put her hand on her chest and blinked lovingly at Arnold. Arnold replied, "Yeah." as he tilted his head to the side a little, obviously lost by the beautiful girl in front of him. All of the girl's started to mostly aw, squeal, and giggle at the two, happy that Arnold's in love, and loving that the two kids are being really cute with one anothe-

"He's my shmoopy doopy sweetie weetie valentine!"

Every kid in the circle of rose bushes blinked in surprise and disgust as they see Arnold's secret admirer gushing at him while scrunching her nose and tickling underneath his chin affectionately with her index finger. "Your MY shmoopy doopy sweetie weetie valentine!"

Said Arnold as he scrunched up his nose as he tickled underneath his secret admirer's chin affectionately in return as he rubbed his nose in the air close to hers as he and his secret admirer continued to look at each other affectionately. Everyone's mouth gaped in shock at Arnold.

They all have seen Arnold liking a girl over the years many times, but they've NEVER heard Arnold say something so...romantically REVOLTING before! As all of the fifth graders were having disgusted and mostly disbelieved looks on their faces, they all had the same question in their minds,

'Did he just say...?'

And suddenly, every kid started to look at Arnold's and his secret admirer's eyes. Their eyes showed different shades of pink again. Only bolder and brighter. Every kid looked the two blondes eyes with curious look's. As they then started to look at Arnold's secret admirer's eyes after looking at Arnold's, they had panic looks while backing away from them a little as she pointed at Arnold and said, "Your my cutie patootie lovey dovey honey bunny!"

She then jumped in place, popped her knee as she intertwined her hands, laid her cheek against them, and batted her blue eyes and smiled at Arnold flirtatiously and lovingly. Arnold had on a goofy grin as his eyes became more half lidded.

"Your MY hearty smarty smoochy woochy baby waby." As he was saying his sentence, he held his secret admirer's hand and nuzzled it affectionately with his cheek and then kissed it lovingly. Gerald and Phoebe looked at their best friend's in shock.

"ARNOLD?!" He then went in between them as Gerald said with a panic voice while waving a hand in front of Arnold's face. He had never seen his best friend so, well, LOST by a girl before! And that got him grossed and a little freaked out.

"Hey! Arnold! Hello! What's going on?!" Phoebe then looked at Helga in worry as she said, "Um 'Cecile', are you alright?". The two blonde's just continued to stare at each other, not even noticing that their best friend's are calling out to them. Then Helga said a sentence, well two sentences, that made Phoebe gasp in shock and fear.

"I have a special valentine. A kissy wissy snuggy wuggy Football Head." Helga gushed as she scrunched up her nose and her eyes became more half lidded. And to top it everything off the cringe scene all the kids were seeing, Arnold and Helga Eskimo kissed with happy smiles on their faces while closing their eyes happily and blushing red onto their cheeks and ears.

And that did it.

It felt like time had frozen as every fifth grader of P.S. 118 gasped in shock and disbelief at the realization of Arnold's secret admirer being HELGA of all the girl's in the world. Phoebe frowned nervously and in fear for her friend. "U-Um. T-That's why I didn't te-"

"Oh this is SO juicy! I mean I know that Helga might like someone in future or something, but with ARNOLD? HA! This'll be the PERFECT gossip for the next few weeks! Maybe even YEARS!" Rhonda interrupted Phoebe as she and the rest of the fifth grader's chuckled and started walking towards Arnold and Helga, ready for the real teasing to begin.

Panic through her body, Phoebe stood in front of Rhonda and everyone else with pleading eyes. "PLEASE don't do this Rhonda! Helga may not have been the nicest to all of you, but you all shouldn't do this considering after ALL she AND Arnold has done for all of us over the years! Especially last year!"

She then looked at Harold first as she said, "Remember how Arnold defended you when you thought that you were being arrested with the little kitten you have? He only did that because he's your friend! And remember after you and Helga got lost? In the end, you two got along and went to Wrestlemania! She even said to me that your weren't so bad HERSELF."

Harold blinked in surprise. Phoebe then looked at the rest of the guy's and girl's. "And you all remember how we won that football game between Wolfgang and the rest of the fifth graders? It was Arnold AND Helga who motivated us and that's how we won!"

Phoebe finally turned to Rhonda. "And finally Rhonda. Do you remember how Arnold helped you and Nadine made up? Because he knows how precious and important you and Nadine's friendship is! And remember how Helga made your last year's slumber party great? She told all of us girls that there's more to be having fun at slumber parties than doing makeovers and just acting all girly and feminine! Don't you all see?"

Phoebe thn smiled at all of her classmates reassuringly. "Helga may act like a bully, but she's also our friend! She also may not act like a feminine, shy, or sensitive girl, but she keeps it all locked up inside! And she only shows her tough, sometimes helpful, and she shows her loyalty to only me because I'm the only friend...she's every had. Inside of herself, Helga's just scared and angry at everyone that doesn't like her, but not Arnold. Arnold...was the only one who ever really noticed her for once in her life. That's why Helga lo- likes him so much. But she doesn't show her care for him because of rejection. But she does help him with certain problems from last year. Helga's just...afraid that SHE'LL be the one that's bullied."

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. They never really thought of it that way. Helga was just like them. A girl who was scared of showing her real self. And...who was afraid of the world of also showing her true self, especially to all of the kids of P.S. 118. Every kid started to have guilty faces as they looked down to the ground.

"Were sorry Phoebe!"

Eugene and Sheena said as they smiled sheepishly at her. "Even though she may hate us, we still forgive her!" Said Eugene. "And of course we're her friends! Aren't we guy's?" Everyone looked at the flower head girl and the red head boy as they sorta agreed with them.

"So no more teasing right everyone?" Phoebe asked with pleading eyes. Then Rhonda sighed and spoke up."We can promise you that we'll make sure that no word would spread around the school, considering that Arnold and Helga helped us with our problems last year and that they're our friends, but we CAN'T promise you that we'll continue teasing Arnold and Helga though. We kid's just can't help it you know? And besides, we never get to tease Arnold and Helga about anything."

Phoebe rolled her eyes with a smile at Rhonda's reply to her question. She then sighed as her turned to Gerald. "I hope you aren't too freaked out about all of this Ge-" Phoebe's eyes widened at Gerald. His jaw was dropped and his eyes widened in total shock as he slouched slightly while standing and still holding the camera in his hand as it was still recording.

Phoebe cautiously walk towards Gerald as she grabbed the camera from him and started to try and get is attention. "Um Gerald? Gerald are you ok? Gerald?" Then she started poking and shaking him on the shoulder, but still no response or reaction from him.

Phoebe sighed as she turned to the rest of her class. "I guess we should figure out a way to-" Then Phoebe blinked a few times at the rest of the class. They all had surprised, some disgusted, and some trying not to laugh, or giggle, looks as they see Arnold and Helga interacting with one another.

The box of chocolates were open as Arnold and Helga were indeed, just like Stinky said yesterday at the store, feeding each other with loving smiles while sitting next to each other. They even shared a few kisses on each other's cheeks and noses here and there as they giggled and chuckled by them.

Helga was laying her head against Arnold's chest while half of her body was on Arnold's and her legs were wrapped around his. Arnold let out a shuddery sigh as he started playing with her hair affectionately that he adored and loved, making Helga hummed and shiver in satisfaction from her beloved playing with her hair.

Then Helga raised her right arm to play with Arnold's tufts of hair as her left hand intertwined with Arnold's free hand. He let out a lovesick sigh as he played more of Helga's hair. Helga started to nuzzle his chest a little with her cheek with a smile, causing Arnold's to beat faster. They then started to exchange mushy compliments at one another.

"You are such a flirt my love."

"Well I can't help it Helga. Your a very pretty and attractive girl."

"Well YOUR the one who's the most attractive here Arnold."

"Well I guess we tied then."

"Your adorable my magnificent prince."

"Actually YOUR the adorable one here my fair maiden."

"Well then I guess we tied once again."

"Gorgeous."

"Charming."

"Caring."

"Kind."

"Assertive."

"Fighter."

"Alluring."

"Irresistible."

"A lady."

"A gentleman."

"Flirt."

"Heartthrob."

"My sunshine."

"My sunflower."

"My joyful radiant Juliet."

"My romantic dashing Romeo."

Helga looked up at Arnold as they both smiled lovingly at one another and Eskimo kissed again as they continued on with their mushy and gag worthy compliments.

Most of the kids in the class started to gag a little, yet some of them awed and giggled at the two blondes being in love, even some of them find it hard to believe that Arnold and Helga are together. Then Rhonda remembered something. Something about the drinks they both drank and the color's in their eyes.

Rhonda faced Phoebe, who was having a 'feeling weirded out' look. "Say Phoebe. How come they're like this? I mean if they truly ARE together, which is STILL kinda hard to believe for some of us, then how come none of them aren't even realizing that we are still here?"

After Rhonda's question, everyone turned their head's to Phoebe, indeed curious on why they were like this in the first place. Phoebe sighed as she stared to explain on what was going on in the first place, from the FTi confession, even though not saying or going into details of Helga writing poetry, making shrines, her monologuing and stalking, and most of LOVING Arnold, to now the present.

An hour later...

"So what your saying is Phoebe," Rhonda started as they all sat on the grass while eating snacks and listening to the story, but also a few feet away from Arnold and Helga, trying not to gag and get weirded out by them. "Helga likes Arnold enough to ACTUALLY risked of her getting rich just to save the neighborhood, just him. And after a few weeks later of saving the neighborhood, and also the first few weeks of school, Arnold is still thinking over his feelings for Helga, and this month, Helga was, and also we didn't even notice before, sorta teasing and flirting with him in a way by her starting to, or at least trying to, smile at Arnold more often while having on lip gloss, her putting on lotion for a few weeks to make her look shiny, and then this week with her having different kinds of perfume on JUST to see Arnold's reaction when she gets close to him? AND two days ago, she even pretend to say that she lost a bet with Arnold, only saying that because we kept on staring at her when you and her first came into class, just because she was wearing makeup, only just to get Arnold's attention? And the reason he asked Helga to the dance was because he, and Arnold actually said it in the playground while you and Helga were gone, needed a fake date to the dance for helping out one of his friend's. And before that happened, you wanted Helga to talk to and ask Arnold to the dance as a fake date too for you. But Helga was stressing out about all of us teasing and making fun of Arnold about the way he asked her to the dance. And AFTER all that happened, that's when Helga's poem, but mostly an invitation like you said, was red out loud. I guess she got a little carried away with her liking him so much. Anyway as it turns out, Helga actually didn't mean to turn that in, making her want to, and ACTUALLY did, forget all about the poem. And while you and Gerald were walking to your house, you both bumped into Miss Blanches, the potion maker. She ended up bumping into you two because she was so distracted reading the history of Valentine's Day as it started out because of a love potion. Then you had this great idea about the love potion and one thing led to another, you set this whole picnic up, Arnold only came here to talk to Helga about what they'll be doing at the dance. And Helga only came here for the relaxation. They ended up having lunch, dinner, and dessert, they slow danced together, made them feel happy with one another, then making them drink the love potion. Making them act like THAT." Rhonda pointed at Arnold and Helga, who was still cuddling with one another as they started to read a little pink book while Helga was hugging something red.

Phoebe looked at Rhonda in surprise as she was surprised yet impressed that Rhonda said all that in once. "Uh yeah that's pretty much it." Rhonda then groaned as she looked at Phoebe with pleading eyes. "But WHY can't we just spread a little gossip? I mean there hasn't been anything juicy to hear for the last few months and I'm practically DYING with the need for spreading gossip! Especially for the romance kind!"

Then Curly suddenly grabbed Rhonda's waist with a thorn free rose in his mouth while smiling at her. "But why not OUR romance Rhonda baby? You know you want me!" Curly said as he put his cheek against her's with a crazy grin. Rhonda looked at Curly in surprise as she quickly shoved him away, blushing slightly.

She scowled at Curly, her cheeks and ears turning red with heat, embarrassment, and anger. "Get AWAY from me you little creep!" Phoebe couldn't help but giggle a little as she replied to Rhonda's question. "Sorry Rhonda but you promised already!"

Rhonda puffed her cheeks a little in annoyance, forgetting all about the promise she made for not spreading gossip, as she replied, "Well alright fine! But you know we're not gonna stop teasing and making fun of them right?" Phoebe smiled nonetheless at Rhonda.

"Yes I know Rhonda." "Good." Rhonda eyed at Phoebe in curiousness as she said, "But what happens to them? I know you said that they drank the love potion, but something is wrong with them. Like there was something more to the potion. Maybe you added too much of one of the ingredients or something? Is the book with you?"

Phoebe blinked in surprise as she completely forgot about her bringing the book with her. She then took off her backpack as she grabbed out the book and started to flip through the pages until she found the recipe for the love potion. Most of the pages were stained, but other than that, Phoebe can still see all of the words.

Phoebe then started to go through each ingredient for the love potion, but there was nothing else that she was missing, she got every ingredient, and she did it all in order. "Everyone I made sure that I got everything right. Got the right ingredients, did the steps right, and there's nothing wrong with the potion. See?"

She showed all of her classmates the ingredients and the steps for making the potion. When they all got done reading it, they all had 'I have a bad feeling about this' look. "I don't know about all of this. Even if I wasn't there to make the potion, something just...feels off somehow. Like something big is going to happen."

Rhonda said as they all agreed with her. Phoebe then sighed a little as she put the book back in her backpack. "Well I can always go home, read through the book, and make sure that I didn't miss anything." They all nodded at Phoebe as they all got up and stretched a little.

Rhonda started to speak as she gathered up all of her stuff. "Well it's getting pretty late. I should start walking to the spot of my limo picking me and the girls up." But then Lila spoke up. "But what about Arnold and Helga?" As she turned to see Arnold and Helga, as well as everyone else, Their eyes widened in shock at the picnic setup. The picnic was all packed up and...oh no! They were gone!

They fifth graders turned to Phoebe. Phoebe blinked at all of them as she said, "Sorry everyone. I don't know where they went either. They...just probably walked home." They all looked curious, knowing if that may be true, but they shrugged and hummed as they assumed that that was what Arnold and Helga must be doing right now.

As everyone gathered all of their stuff to go home, Phoebe went to the picnic setup and sighed in relief. Arnold and Helga cleaned everything up for her so she didn't have to do it. But then see's a sticky note on the picnic basket. Phoebe picked it up and started to read it.

'Thank you Phoebe for setting this up for me and my beloved Arnold! We appreciate it and we'll see you and Gerald tomorrow! Sincerely and with lots of friendship, Helga :)'. Phoebe stood there in surprise as her eyes went wide. She had never heard Helga say Gerald's real name before!

Usually she just says Tall Hair Boy, or even his last name sometimes, but she would never say his real name. That is WAY too weird. Shaking off the feeling of something being wrong with Arnold and Helga, Phoebe put the sticky note in her pocket as she grabbed the picnic basket as she grabbed the dark red music player with the other hand.

About to turn around and head out of the meadow, out of the park, and while walking home, going through the book just see if she missed anything, Phoebe bumped into Gerald, who finally got out of his state of shock while Phoebe started to explain on what happened to Helga and Arnold, looked at Phoebe with surprise while blushing slightly on his cheeks and ears.

"Hey Phoebe. Do you need help with that?" Phoebe blushed slightly herself as she nodded a little with a shy smile and handed the music player to him. "T-Thank you Ger-" Then suddenly, Phoebe blinked in surprise as she looked at Gerald in disbelief.

He was no longer paralyzed with shock for the fact that Helga likes Arnold! On instinct, Phoebe threw her arms around Gerald while she, also on instinct, popped her knee happily. "Gerald! Your ok!" Gerald blinked in surprise as his cheeks and ears turned a light red with heat.

"U-Um hey babe! Uh did you miss me or somethin'? And of course I'm ok. I'm not hurt." Phoebe broke the embrace between them as she giggled slightly."Well I know your not hurt. I just thought you might pass out or something after you heard Arnold and Helga are...well...in love...?"

She cringed a little while closing her eyes and saying the last bit of her sentence, hoping that Gerald wouldn't freak out about it. After a few seconds of hoping that he'll be ok, Phoebe opened her eyes to see Gerald trying not to gag and look disgusted at the thought of Arnold and Helga in love.

Gerald breathed heavily through him mouth and looked calm. "Um Phoebe tell me that everything will stay the same? Even if Arnold...and Helga are...you know." He then shuddered. Phoebe looked down and thought about the question Gerald asked her.

After a few seconds of thinking, Phoebe looked up at Gerald and said, "I'm not sure Gerald. But maybe...you can help me all of this out?" Gerald's eyes widened in surprise as he blushed more at what Phoebe looked like. She looked up at him with her dark blue eyes sparkling with plead and curiousness.

Gerald blushed red on his cheeks and ears with heat. 'She's so cute!' Gerald said in his mind. He then cleared his throat, trying to sound cool and smooth, but failing quickly as his voice sounded nervous. "U-Um y-yeah Phoebe! I'll h-help you out!" Phoebe then smiled at Gerald.

"Thank you Gerald. I'd appreciate the help." Gerald nodded at her as they continued to stare at each other, standing close, smiling, and blushing slightly. Then someone cleared their throat as Gerald and Phoebe blinked in surprise, making them get out of trance they were having by staring at one another, and looked at the rest of the class as Rhonda was the one who cleared her throat.

They all couldn't help but giggle and laugh a little at the two as Gerald and Phoebe cleared their throats and back away from one another, blushing more in embarrassment. Phoebe then started to speak. "So are you guys really ok with this? With...Arnold and Helga together?"

Then Rhonda stepped in. "Well I guess. They are sorta cute together I'll give it that, but...why did you do it Phoebe? Why did you give Arnold and Helga a love potion in the first place?" Phoebe blinked in surprise. Everyone then looked at her curiously on why she did it.

Phoebe took a breath, let it out, and started to answer Rhonda's question. "I only did for Helga everyone. She's my friend and...I only wanted Arnold and Helga to go to the dance together because...she'll be doing something that involves her with a date. But she was too shy and scared to ask Arnold. And also Arnold was still going over his feelings for her and...I just gave a little nudge, and it all worked out. Now they'll go to the dance with no problems in their way."

Everyone looked at her with a 'I understand now' expression, assuming that that was the reason why Phoebe gave them the love potion. "Well ok Phoebe darling, but if there's something bad going on by the love potion, please let us all know ok?" Phoebe nodded at Rhonda as they all started walking out of the rose bush circle with their stuff, leaving the meadow and the park to go home.

30 minutes later and out of the park...

As they all went their separate ways to go home, Phoebe and Gerald walked side by side on the sidewalk as Phoebe started going through the book just to see if she missed anything. "Did you find anything babe?" Gerald asked as he looked over to her at his side. He can see her shaking her a little. "

No nothing yet Gerald. So far I don't see anything wrong here." She then sighed tiredly while closing her eyes and shaking her head again. "Maybe there isn't something wrong with potion. It's just probably everyone still not getting used to that Arnold and Helga are toge- WHOA!"

Suddenly, Phoebe tripped on a crack on the sidewalk, making her fall forward, but Gerald grabbed her hand before she almost fell to the ground, making the book fall to the ground with a thud! The two kids looked at one another in surprise as Gerald ended up pulling Phoebe too close to him, making them stand close to one another.

They continued to stare at one another. Their eyes widened a little, their hearts beating, and their cheeks and ears turning a light red with heat. They were under a light post, and their eyes sparkled because of the light, making each other fall for one another a little more.

But then they looked away while clearing their throats, coughing a little, and backing away from each other. "A-Are you ok Phoebe?" Gerald asked the small Japanese girl in front of him. "I-I'm ok Gerald." Phoebe said, smiling at him a little. "O-Oh uh that's good to hear b-babe."

She then giggled a little at the nickname Gerald always gives her. Phoebe blinked in surprise as she forgot that the book dropped to the ground. She then see's the book on the ground as it landed on the same page she was on earlier. Phoebe sighed in relief as she picked up the book.

"Is the book damaged?" Gerald asked curiously. "No it's fine Gerald. It's just a little ripped he-" Phoebe then blinked in surprise on what she found on the recipe part of the book. On the title of the recipe, 'Love Potion', it looks like there was a paper on the bottom of the title of the recipe.

Since they were close to Phoebe's light blue boarding house, Phoebe ran to her stoop, sitting there, and curious on what was going on with the recipe part of the book. As Gerald sat next to her, also curious on what was going on with the page of the recipe, Phoebe carefully took off the paper that said the title of the potion.

And after the paper was off of the page, there were hidden, and sorta faded, dark pink and glittery words on the bottom of the paper. Suddenly, Phoebe dropped the book as she sat there frozen and in shock on her stoop, surprising the African-American boy.

Gerald looked at Phoebe with worry. "Hey babe? Phoebe? Are you ok?" Phoebe jumped slightly in her spot of the stone clean stairs. "I-I'm ok Gerald. I-It's just...what I saw under the paper...I actually gave Arnold...and Helga..." Phoebe then mumble in nervousness and fear.

Gerald couldn't hear on what she was saying. "Babe what did you ga-?" "I gave them l-love poison..." Said Phoebe as she covered her face. Gerald blinked as he smiled. "Well Phoebe, I know you gave them a love pot-POISON?! WHAT?!"

Phoebe raised her head and looked at Gerald with worry as she nodded. She then got up, grabbed the book from off her stoop, sat down next to Gerald and showed him the hidden, and original, title of the recipe of the potion. "See? And no wonder everyone was getting a bad feeling about this love potion."

She then went to the part of the book of the history of it. Phoebe started to tell the story on how the love poison was originally created. "it was right after the Tomato War. in a big company, there was a man and a woman who hated each other very much, but then by each day passing by, the women, who was one of the best employees of the company, fell in love with the man, who was boss. But the man still hated her and didn't return the woman's feelings. Heart broken and angry, the woman ended up making a love potion for her and for the man she fell in love with. But after she used the potion on him and herself, she then realized she created a love poison, making them falling desperately in love with each other. And...things didn't turn out so well."

Gerald's eyes widened a little as he grabbed the book and looked into the story more. "Hold on a sec Phoebe." After a few minutes of reading, Gerald looked shocked and that got Phoebe a WHOLE lot more nervous. "What did it say Gerald and how, not so well, did things turn out?" Phoebe asked.

"Well it says here that after the two fell in love, everything went wrong. It says something here about ignoring the employees, the business going down, the jobs people lost. Ok apparently it was because that the man and woman were so in love with one another, that they couldn't do their adult duties."

Then Gerald looked at Phoebe with worry and unsure. Phoebe looked at the book in disbelief as she said. "Great! I may not have turn Arnold and Helga into total lovesick freaks, I may have turned our whole neighborhood AND school into jeopardy!"

As she said all of this, Phoebe covered her face. Gerald blinked in surprise as he smiled at her. "Oh come on babe! Arnold and Helga are 10 years old just like us! They don't have adult duties to do." Then Phoebe looked up at Gerald with shock, as he backed away from her a surprise.

"But they STILL got responsibilities! If we don't fix this then...oh no! Arnold won't be able to give help other people out and give advice anymore, Helga won't be able to come up with plans if there are other problems in the future and won't be able to motivate us in games and mostly challenges in the future with Wolfgang or other people! And before we know it, P.S. 118 will be overrun with crazy kids with problems and have no self confidence to deal with anything or to DO anything! Oh it'll be chaos it'll be CHAOS!" Phoebe had her hands to her hair in stress and anxiety as she groaned and covered her face again.

Gerald looked at Phoebe with concern as he looked through the book for any solution of the problem. His dark brown eyes widened in surprise as he smiled and said, "There's an antidote Phoebe!" Phoebe looked at Gerald with a surprised look, her dark blue eyes sparkling with hope and happiness.

Gerald blushed red on his cheeks and ears again and cleared his throat as he tried to not get distracted by her eyes and to get back to the task at hand. "It's more of a food than a drink though. We have to make a special kind of chocolate that involves the opposite of what you put in the love poison."

Phoebe then looked happy, knowing that there's an antidote to the poison. "Well that's good to he-" But then she blinked in surprise as she looked at Gerald with a scared and shock expression. "What's wrong Phoebe? We have a solution to the poison. What else did we miss? Did we miss something in the book?"

"N-No! Well yes but n-not in the book. Gerald I know we have an antidote, well sorta, for the poison, but tomorrow is..." At first, Gerald looked confused, but then his eyes widened in shock as he and Phoebe said, "School." They both groaned as they forgotten all about that.

"What are we gonna do tomorrow Phoebe? I'll try to ignore Arnold and Helga, maybe even protect them from Wolfgang and the other sixth graders, but what if the sixth graders come here again like they always do and make fun of them? And what will the other kids of P.S. 118 say?"

Phoebe sighed as she stood up on her stoop. "Gerald, I'm really tired after all that's happened this weekend. So for tomorrow, let's just prepare ourselves ok?" Gerald looked at Phoebe with unsure look, but sighed as he smiled at her.

"Ok babe. I'll trust you on that and I'll try and prepare myself. So uh...goodnight Phoebe." "Goodnight Gerald." They waved at one another as Gerald went on his way home to catch some sleep and Phoebe went into her house to go to bed after a day like today.

Meanwhile with Arnold and Helga only an hour ago...

As they continued on complimenting each other with mushy and cringe worthy words while mostly staring at the locket Helga has kept for half of her life, after they got done reading the little pink book, Helga stopped listening, hugging the red heel shoe, and looked up at him as she asked her beloved a question.

"Arnold, can we go home now?" Arnold looked at Helga in surprise. He really wanted to stay like this with Helga for a little longer, even forever with her. But then he thought about it and smiled as he replied back to her. "Ok Helga. And besides, tomorrow's school and we don't want to miss that do we?"

Arnold said as he held her hand and nuzzled it with his cheek, causing his princess to giggle. "No we don't But we should pack this picnic up for Phoebe, considering after all she's done for us today." Arnold nodded at Helga as they got up and started cleaning up with picnic area.

After they cleaned and packed up everything, they walked out of the circle of rose bush, headed out of the park, and walked down the sidewalk. As they continued to walk to Helga's house, they were madly in love and glowing with happiness as they held hands.

Ever since the end of their meetup, something happened to them, yet something AMAZING happened to them. It's like they were shot by Cupid's Arrow. Now they were smitten kittens, head over heels, fly over the moon, mushy, mad as a hatter, roses in Paris, seeing hearts and pink everywhere they go, gaga, saying adorable pet names, affectionately, passionately, hopelessly in love!

As they both continued to walk, they continued to read the little pink book. They both giggle and chuckle at Helga's poems, feeling more in love with one another by each affectionate poem they read. As they finally reached Helga's stoop, they stood in front of one another closely with half lidded gazes, smiling lovingly at one another, and their cheeks and ears red with warmth.

But then Arnold backed up a little, making Helga look at him with mostly plead and sadness on why her beloved was backing away from her. Arnold then got out the pack of breath mints and the spray as he smiled at her sheepishly. Helga's face lighted up as she smiled happily as she took the breath mints from him.

They both turned around as Arnold used his tongue to check to see if he had food in between his teeth, along the same thing with Helga. Arnold then started to spray half of the bottle into his mouth, making his breath smell so much like peppermint. Helga munched on half of the mints from the pack to the point on where she exhaled, a blow of minty freshness, that was light blue, and including dark blue snowflakes, came out of her mouth.

They then started to adjust their clothes to see if anything was messed up. They turned to face one another with happy, yet nervous, looks. Sure they were so in love now, happy that they were together, and that they knew it, but a first kiss can always be nerve wrecking, no matter what.

Arnold then grabbed and held Helga's hand as he used his other hand to hold one of her blushing cheeks. Helga smiled more at the touching contact from Arnold as she intertwined her hand with Arnold's and stepped closer to him to the point they were toe to toe.

They looked at one another with their smiles growing, as well as their cheeks with blushing and warmth, their eyes getting more and more half lidded with love and longing, and their hearts bursting out of their chests as Arnold used his tippy toes to kiss Helga and Helga leaned down to kiss Arnold.

Their lips met as it felt like they were in heaven. A pink, blue, green, and gold heaven. It felt like an electric shock through Arnold and Helga's bodies. A electric of love and passion. They immediately smiled in the kiss as Helga held her beloved's head gently and kissed him more passionately, yet tenderly, making his feet go off the ground. At first Arnold was a little surprised at him being off the ground, but sighed deeply and shakingly through his nose as he kissed Helga back more.

'Helga's so...amazing...I love her toughness, her passion...her fiery and loving passion...sigh...And her lips...they're so naturally pink and soft looking...just like her...they feel so soft and sweet and...is that raspberry lemon?...Hehe the description reminds me more of her...she's sweet and everything a girl is...yet she's sour and a tough, independent, loyal, helpful, caring, passionate, sweet, gentle...girl...Helga...what a beautiful name and she's...one of a kind...sigh...'

'Arnold...oh how I LOVE you Arnold my love! Your so kind, helpful, loyal, generous, sweet, everything! Your lips...they're so soft and ohhhh! Words can't even describe how AMAZING I feel right now while were still kissing...! Oh how I love you my prince! I love EVERYTHING about you! Your personality, your actions, and your looks! How your eyes are the hues of the ocean that I'm bathed in every time and oh how your gorgeous tufts of hair are like a cornflower field I could run in...!...Sigh...'

'What a boy...'

'What a girl...'

They both said in their minds. 'No.' 'No.' 'What a MAN!' 'What a WOMAN!' Then Arnold held both of the sides of Helga's face gently as Helga's hands ran through the bottom part of Arnold's hair. Arnold shivered and sighed again through his nose as he started playing with Helga's hair, making her shiver and swoon through her nose.

The need of air was getting to both of the two kids as they pulled away from each other's lips with a small smack! as they looked at one another with flushed cheeks and ears. They both felt tingly, fuzzy, and light headed with love and passion all over their bodies.

Arnold and Helga's eyes were barely open as they stared at one another while panting slightly for air. "T-That was...w-was..." "Magical...my love?" Helga asked Arnold as he chuckled, but a little goofy, and also a lovingly, kind of chuckle. "Y-Yeah Helga...and...we should s-stop...so I can go home and...go to bed...for tomorrow."

"Y-Yeah your right...Arnold...w-we should stop..." But being so utterly and desperately in love, they both kiss passionately and tenderly once again. Helga then put Arnold back to the ground as they continued to kiss. He was so in love with Helga more than ever before, and feeling so helplessly in love right now by their second kiss, Arnold grabbed Helga's waist, dipped her, and kissed her passionately and holding her close to him.

Helga squeaked in surprise, but then relaxed as she sighed and moaned a little in happiness as she kissed back with all the passion she had. She then brought her hands to her beloved's head as she ran her fingers through his hair, almost massaging Arnold's scalp.

Arnold shivered again and moaned a little the back of his throat as he held Helga closer to him. After a few seconds of their second passionate kiss, they pulled away from each other as panted shakingly, and a little heavier, for air.

They continued to stare at one another with half lidded eyes, but they both sighed as they smiled goofily at one another and fallen more in love with each other. As they stood up, Arnold and Helga walked up to Helga's stoop and stopped at her door.

They faced each other. Helga was still red from her cheeks and ears, her long sleeved shirt was wrinkled due to Arnold dipping and hugging her close, and she barely has lipstick on her lips as her lips were smudged with lipstick and it was a bit of excess of shine on them.

Arnold was red to his cheeks and ears as well, his spy outfit was wrinkled due to Helga holding him close and him dipping her, holding her close as well, There was a big smudge of lipstick on his lips as his lips were a bold pink color from the lipstick and also shiny a little from the lip gloss.

They continued to stand in front of each other with smiles on their faces. "W-Well goodnight Helga. And tomorrow, how about I walk to here and we'll walk to school together?" Helga giggled a little, causing Arnold's smile to grow as well as his blush as she nodded at him.

"I would love that Arnold. And since you've practically made half of my kissing fantasies involving you come true, there's just one more thing I want to do." "W-What's that my Helga?" Arnold asked, eagerly on what other 'kissing fantasies' she had in mind.

Out of nowhere, Helga quickly ran inside her house, not even hearing Bob's request for something from the kitchen, went into the bathroom, and came back out with her lips, freshly clean from the smudge lipstick and lip gloss, covered with fresh pink bold lipstick with raspberry lemon flavor lip gloss on it.

"This my Arnold." Suddenly, as Helga stand close to him, she grabbed her beloved by the shirt and started to cover mostly his face, even on his chin, cheeks, ears, and neck, with pink bold and shiny stain kisses. Arnold hang there in the air, feeling loopy and in pure bliss as he had a VERY lovesick expression plastered on his face.

"H-Helga...?" Arnold asked in a whisper as he was up in heaven after a few minutes. His Juliet hummed happily as she continued to cover her Romeo with kisses. Helga could stop kissing Arnold, but still feeling in love with him than ever, and the need for kissing him, Helga just continued on kissing Arnold.

'And besides, he can talk while I keep giving my knight in shining armor of blue, cornflower, and green kisses of pink, gold, and blue! Ooooh! That's good! I should write that down later on!' "For now on, everyday, could you wear lip gloss and vanilla perfume...? It's j-just...your...an amazing...kisser and you smell s-so... oh your just so breathtaking m-my love..."

Arnold asked in a airy, cooing, and loving voice as he was still up in the clouds. Well, practically COVERED in very soft pink, blue, and gold clouds. Hey, a boy can imagine! His love giggled sweetly as she replied back to her love. "Of course..." A few more romantic kisses later. "...my darling."

She then continued on with the kisses of affection, which made Arnold more and MORE lovesick for her. After a few minutes of being up in heaven, Helga stopped the kisses as she put Arnold down, making him slouch while wobbling due to his legs feeling like jelly, and his cheeks and ears BURNING with heat and color, and him still having his very lovesick expression.

Helga giggled sweetly again at the expression of what her beloved was having. "Well goodnight my handsome prince." Still feeling utterly lovesick, Arnold said, "S-Sleep well my beautiful princess." Helga smiled and sighed dreamily once more as she went inside her house, leaving Arnold outside. He sighed lovingly. "W-What a...woman she is..." He then started walking home with a lovesick smile all the way there.

As he walked inside of his house, Arnold still was beet, fiery red to the cheeks and ears as he still had on a lovesick expression while his face, cheeks, ears, chin, and neck were practically COVERED with bold pink and shiny kiss marks. He then sees his Grandpa coming out of his private bathroom as he has on his pajamas and a newspaper in hand.

He sighed and looked over to his grandson."Hey Shortman! Where have you been all da-?" He quickly noticed how his grandson looked and couldn't help but smirk VERY slyly while trying his best not to laugh at him. "I've been with...sigh with Helga."

Arnold's eyes became more half lidded as his lovesick smile grew, as well as his blush. Trying not to laugh, Grandpa Phil asked Arnold, "A-And what's with the pink stain kisses all over you and why's your c-clothes wrinkled A-Arnold?"

Arnold's eyes grew happily as he quickly went into his room and a few minutes later, he came back down into the hall as he gave a camera to his no longer trying not to burst into laughing, but now surprised and confused, Grandpa. "Grandpa take a picture of me like this ok?" Arnold said as he stood here in the hallway, still feeling lovesick than ever.

Grandpa Phil looked at Arnold in surprise on why take a picture of him like this. "Uh Arnold why do you need me to take a picture of you like th-?" "It's for Helga Grandpa! Now can you please take the picture?" Arnold said happily as he stood still and smiled lovingly at the camera, his face still beet fiery red, ready for the flash of the camera.

Phil still looked at his grandson in surprise, but shrugged as took a picture of Arnold. Arnold quickly ran to his Grandpa for the picture. The picture came out of the camera as Arnold grabbed it and carefully waved it to see what it looks like.

In the picture, Arnold's face was still fiery red on his cheeks and ears as he smiled lovingly at the camera with his VERY half lidded gaze and the bold pink and shiny stain kisses showing all over him. Arnold hugged it happily and nuzzled it with his cheek with a big happy and lovesick smile.

"Thanks Grandpa! Now I'm gonna go to bed for school tomorrow! Don't wanna miss it! Goodnight!" Arnold then hugged his Grandpa as he happily walked to the ladder as he pulled the string, making the entrance of the attic open and the ladder came out.

Arnold climbed it while humming happily, closing the door attic behind him. Phil stared at the attic entrance to where his grandson went into with a surprised look. He has never seen Arnold so in love with a girl! And that actually got him, well, pretty happy for him. Phil then chuckled a little as he shook his head a little. "Hehe well, someone's got hit by Cupid's hammer! Hehe I'm such a willy ol' coot!" Phil said as he went to his bedroom to go to bed.

Meanwhile with Arnold and Helga in their separate bedrooms...

As Arnold walked into his bedroom and closing the door behind him, along the same thing with Helga, they both sighed lovingly while sliding down against the door while closing their eyes. Today was the best day they've ever had! Because they got to spend it with the one person they loved and adored so much.

Arnold then went to his desk and put the picture and the spray he used 10 minutes ago for his first, and second, kiss with Helga, on the desk. Helga put down the sapphire blue bag and the bouquet of roses in her closet with a loving smile.

She then went to the bathroom and cleaned off her face and brushed through her hair as she put her hair back in her usual pigtails. They got out of their clothes and put them in the basket as they put on their pajamas. They both sighed as their faces were still red from the first AND second kiss they've both shared. Arnold and Helga then jumped on their beds with happy smiles as their blushes increased.

"Today was the most AMAZING day of my LIFE!" They both said in unison as they laughed and blushed more. They then grabbed their pillows and hugged it affectionately as they nuzzled it with their cheek.

"And our kisses were just...oh it was LIKE HEAVEN!"

"And those kisses were just...oh it was PURE BLISS!"

Arnold and Helga said as they sighed again and hugged their pillows closer as they snuggled in them and in their covers.

"And Helga looked so..."

"And Arnold looked so..."

"Breathtaking..."

Arnold and Helga sighed lovingly as their lovesick looks grew. But as they continued to lay in their beds, Arnold and Helga realized something. Tomorrow really was school! And that made them more excited to not only see each other, but to show other people, especially the other kids of P.S. 118, that they were in love.

And Arnold especially, got an idea on how to SHOW the whole school, that he and Helga are in love! 'I can show them all at the assembly for the smartest kids in each grade! It's the PERFECT spot for everyone to be there! Hehe and I know JUST how to show them at me and Helga are in love!'

Arnold smiled excitingly as he was ready for tomorrow. Arnold and Helga began to fall asleep with smiles on their faces, before saying, "Goodnight Arnold...I love you...so...much..." "Goodnight Helga...I love you...so...much..."

They then sleep happily in their beds as Arnold and Helga couldn't wait for tomorrow, couldn't wait to show their friends that they were together and in love, but mostly just couldn't wait to show the WHOLE WORLD that they were together and in love.

To be continued...

"PHEW! Now THAT took forever! But hey! It was ALL worth it! So what did you guy's think of this chapter? Was it good or bad? Let me know in a review!" Melody then sighed tiredly as she looked back at the audience with a smile.

"But yeah! Tell me what you guy's think so far of the story! And of course I don't own the song in the chapter, 'Felt So Right' by Sarah Geronimo! I was going over love songs on YouTube and I've found this song! And I IMMEDIATELY thought of Arnold and Helga dancing to this on their 'date'! So yeah guy's! Like I said earlier, review on what you guy's think of this chapter and uh if your curious, Val is in the workroom thinking of ideas for our channel! That's right! In the future, we'll have our own channel on YouTube! I'll let you all know about it in the future! And like I always say, Melody out!" Melody then walked to her bedroom calmly and laid on her stomach on the blue bed.

She then grabbed her body pillow with a calm expression. Out of nowhere, Melody covered her face and screamed and squealed into it while her hind hooves kicked in the air on roughly on the bed. As she stopped her screaming and squealing, Melody started to say loudly as her words were muffled by her face deep into her body pillow.

"I can't believed that they kissed! But not by once, BUT TWICE! FREAKING TWICE! AHHHHHHHH! And I wrote, well, typed that they DANCED to a FREAKING LOVE SONG! And oh my CELESTIA I can't wait for the future chapters that I'll make! And I CAN'T BELIEVE AND CAN'T WAIT FOR WHAT ARNOLD WILL DO FOR WHAT HE'LL SHOW TO THE WHOLE P.S. 118 ON HOW HIM AND HELGA ARE TOGETHER!"

Melody continued on going total fangirl and scream into her body pillow on what will happen in the next chapter.

A day later...

Melody groaned in pain as she sat in the kitchen the next morning. Val yawned with a refreshed smile on her face as she started making two cups of coffee while humming the Cupcake song from Sugarcube Corner when Pinkie Pie sang one time to Applebloom for when she tried to get her cutie mark.

"Hey Mel. Did you fangirl and scream into your pillow again?" She said while looking at her with her red eyes slyly. Melody groaned again as she covered her face with her hooves. She then nodded slowly. Valerie chuckled at her friend's response as she put down a light blue coffee mug in front of Melody for her to wake up.

Melody took a sip of coffee as her eyes opened more as she sighed and leaned against her chair as Val put down a plate of eggs and pancakes with a happy smile. "Thanks Val." "Your welcome Mel! So...what will you do for the next chapter? What will happen with...well you know, with Arnold and Helga?"

Melody's sapphire blue eyes widened as she took a breath, let it out, and said, "I am NOT telling Val! The audience could still be here." Val groaned a little in annoyance. "Oh come on Mel! You gotta tell me! Please?" "Nope! Ain't telling!"

Melody then started to eat her breakfast with a little relaxed smile. Melody then got up from her chair and went to her workroom to now work on the next chapter. She sighed as she sat in her wheelie chair as she put her coffee mug down on the desk and started working on the next chapter.
