Here's the next episode of this series, which is 'Arnold Saves Sid'! Keep in mind, though, since this is still in Rhonda's POV, I'm telling a different story, so even though this is pretty much the same episode, I'm going to tell it a little differently. Anyway, enjoy!

The next morning, at breakfast, as I was enjoying some cereal, I tried my best to overhear my dad reading the paper, mostly on the parts with Frankie G.

"Well, seems Frankie G was caught and ended up in jail for a few years." Daddy said as he peeked over the newspaper. "Honey?"

"Yes, Daddy?" I said, smiling, but at the same time, a little nervous. My name must have been printed in the paper.

"From what I'm understanding from the paper, YOU called and turned him in?" Daddy told me.

"Yes, I did. But let me explain. I was trying to save my fr-" I started before my dad hugged me.

"Honey, you did a good deed. You may have just saved somebody's life... I'm grateful you did the right thing, but at the same time, I'm concerned for your safety." Daddy said. "You were just lucky you with a cop, otherwise, it would be awful if our baby girl got kidnapped."

I looked over to my dad as I hugged him back. "Don't worry dad. I'll be fine."

"I hope so. Just keep close to your friends, okay?" Daddy said. "Promise me, pumpkin."

I sighed. "Fine. I promise I won't put myself in any more danger."

Dad smiled as he let go of me. "I'm glad to hear it, honey."

"Dad, is there anything else in the newspaper concerning Frankie G, like, did he answer any questions?" I asked.

Dad took a look in the newspaper as he said, "Only that any disappearing kids that he did take, he took them to someone else. He refused to say who. Why do you ask?"

"Just curious." I said as I packed up my things. "I have to get to school, Daddy."

"Keep close to your friends, Rhonda!" Dad called as I took my backpack.

"I will!" I called to my dad as I went out the door.

"Dads will be dads, Rhonda." Nadine said as we, along with Phoebe, were riding the bus together. "They're always protective of their baby girls, no matter the outcome."

"...I see your point." I sighed.

"Besides, you're always with us, so we won't have a problem being separated." Phoebe smiled. "So, what did you find out from the newspapers?"

"Well, Frankie G said any disappearing kids he had, he gave them to someone else... who, we don't know." I sighed.

"Then we're at a slump unless Curly can get more info..." Nadine sighed.

As the three of us were riding the bus together, we saw Sid coming up to us as he said, "Hey, girls, mind if I ask you something?"

"Uh, sure." I rolled my eyes. "What is it, Sid?"

"Well... there's this guy I know... and we were walking together... the next thing I knew, he just saves my life from a falling billboard. I really appreciate the guy for what he did. So, how would I repay him back?" Sid asked me.

"Hmmm..." I paused. "Good question, Sid."

"I'm sure you must be grateful for saving the guy's life." Nadine smiled.

"No, no, you got it backwards. The GUY saved ME!" Sid smiled. "I really want to repay him, but how?"

"Well, I don't know if it helps, but I've read somewhere that when the first party saved the life of a second party, the second party then became the first party's servant... out of gratitude." Phoebe said.

Sid's eyes twinkled in delight as he left. "That's it! I'll be Arnold's servant! Thanks, girls!"

"You're welcome." I said, not paying attention to what he said at first... then I raised my head. "Wait, Arnold saved his life?"

"Let's not worry about it for now." Nadine said. "Whatever Arnold did with Sid, it's not our business to wander in."

"I suppose you're right." I said as I pulled out my James Bond book. "Let's just relax for a while, and we'll have our book club! I want to talk about James Bond's latest adventure I just read!"

"Good thinking." Phoebe smiled as she pulled out her copy of the book. "So, let's talk about 'You Only Live Twice'."

"Best book ever!" I sighed as we continued chatting until we reached school.

The next day, on a Friday, I noticed how Arnold was getting embarrassed at the fact that Sid was talking about how Arnold saved his life, even when answering an important Social Studies question (probably one of the few I would get right). Arnold could only duck his head in embarrassment and I could see why. If someone had bragged about me saving that person's life everywhere I went in public, I'd probably never live it down...

In fact, it was pretty much like that with Sid and Arnold all day, Sid following Arnold around and helping him out whenever he could, even after school. I couldn't help but feel concerned for him.

Well, hopefully, whatever Arnold thinks up for how to get Sid off his back, I'm sure he can figure it out...

It was the next day on Saturday as I was alone today at the house, reading a new spy novel when I heard a knock on the door. Curiously, I walked towards the door as I opened it. I was shocked to see Arnold wearing a trenchcoat and a hat at the door. "Arno-"

"Sh!" Arnold said as he quickly slipped inside and shut the door. "Rhonda, I need your help!"

"Let me guess, you saved Sid's life and he decided to make it up to you by being your servant." I said.

"Yes." Arnold said. "And before you say it, yes, I didn't really want Sid to do anything for me, and yes, he keeps following me around, opening doors, making my breakfast, and never giving me a minute's peace! I had the same talk with Grandpa."

"Hmmm..." I paused. "So you came to me for help, why?"

"I just need a place to hide from Sid for a while. He's becoming too MUCH servant!" Arnold said. "I tried to talk to him, but he didn't listen to a word I say, he just said that he knew I didn't mean it. He's just that dedicated to the fact I saved his life."

We both heard another knock on the door as Arnold yelped, diving behind the couch in the living room. "Don't tell you know who that I'm hiding you know where!"

I blinked. "I know... what?"

I shook my head as I went and answered the door. Sid was there, and seemed to be looking into my house, probably trying to find Arnold. "Hey, Rhonda! You seen Arnold around? I can't seem to find hide nor hair of the guy who saved my life! Did I mention he saved my life?"

"No, sorry Sid. Haven't seen him around." I said as Sid try to peer in, but sighed.

"Oh, that's disappointing. I figured he'd probably be here. Oh well, I'll check Gerald's place. He's probably over there! After all, I have to take him for a walk!" Sid said as he ran off. "Bye, Rhonda!"

I nodded as I closed the door. Arnold sighed in relief as he came out from behind the couch. "Thanks, Rhonda. You saved my life."

"Does that mean Sid's my servant now... or are you?" I smirked.

Arnold's eyes widened. "N-no! I-"

"Relax, Arnold. I'm only kidding." I said. "But seriously, what are you going to do?"

Arnold sighed. "I don't know... but I feel like I just have to... give in... may as well let Sid do what he wants..."

"Oh, Arnold!" I shook my head. "Arnold, Arnold, Arnold... don't you ever watch TV?"

Arnold raised an eyebrow in confusion. I smiled a bit as I walked out. "Come with me, I can tell you how you can get Sid to stop being your servant!"

"You can?" Arnold smiled as he walked with me outside. "That's great! How?"

"Oh, you'll see." I smirked.

"Is tying me up in the bench in the middle of the park necessary?" Arnold frowned as I was finished tying him up with my jump rope.

"Don't worry, it'll work." I explained. "All we need to do is wait for Sid to come along and save YOUR life, then you two will be even."

"If you say so..." Arnold said as he started to call out. "Sid! Sid! Sid, help me!"

We waited for ten minutes as I sighed. "Where is he?"

"He's probably not in this area." Arnold said. "You know, you probably should have checked to see if he was in the area first BEFORE tying me up!"

I sighed. "Yeah, I guess I didn't think this through."

I untied Arnold as he sighed. "Well, we better go look for him."

I nodded as me and Arnold started to walk off... and I could have sworn I heard Nadine gigging and laughing, skipping from a distance.

Then I heard her voice saying, "Either somebody's very long shoelace has been untied, or Rhonda lost her jump rope. I better return it to her."

I then heard a scream as I quickly turn around. Nadine tripped on the jump rope and her shoelace as she was about to take a tumble. I yelped as I ran over and fell down, causing Nadine to land on me. I gasped and wheezed a bit as Arnold watched.

Nadine recovered and gasped. "Rhonda, you saved my life! How can I ever repay you?"

I groaned. "Nadine... you can start by calling me a doctor."

After explaining to Nadine about Arnold's situation, she agreed to help out. Near a small sign, me and Nadine were hiding behind it as Nadine was finishing unscrewing some screws off a billboard. I talked in my earpiece, "You all set down there, Arnold?"

"I'm in position!" Arnold said. "And Sid is nearby, getting a couple of ice creams."

"Good." I nodded. "Nadine, you almost ready to push?"

"Ready now!" Nadine said as she was shoving the billboard.

"Okay, now!" I whispered into the earpiece.

From the earpiece, I heard Arnold's cries, "Sid, oh Sid, help!"

"Hey Arnold! What's the problem, my hero?" I overheard Sid's voice.

"Now!" I smiled as Nadine pushed the billboard near the edge.

"Rhonda, where are you? The billboard's still screwed on." Arnold whispered into the earpiece.

My eyes widened as I looked in front of the billboard. On the other side of the street I saw Arnold and Sid talking. I looked down to see if there was anybody down below as Nadine was close to pushing the billboard.

"Nadine, we may want to screw those back on." I said as I stopped Nadine from what she was doing.

"Good idea." Nadine nodded. "Because I don't want to endanger other people's lives just to get Arnold and Sid even with each other."

"Good point." I sighed. "Arnold, try to get away from Sid as quickly as you can, we're trying another idea."

I smiled as I saw Arnold sitting on a tree branch, waiting as he was now calling for help.

"Help, yoo-hoo, help!" Arnold called.

I then heard footsteps coming over as I turned... only to be disappointed to see it was Phoebe carrying a ladder as she put it up next to Arnold.

"Phoebe, what are you doing?" I frowned.

"Well, Arnold's in trouble. I heard him say help." Phoebe explained.

"No, see, Phoebe, we were waiting on SID to rescue him." Nadine explained.

"Oh... Sid still has the life debt, huh?" Phoebe said.

Arnold sighed as he climbed down the ladder. "It's no use. Thanks anyway, girls, but I think it would be better if I just accepted Sid's fate."

"Arnold, come on! We can think up another way!" I said.

Arnold shook his head. "Sorry, Rhonda. My mind's made up. I may as well have Sid as a servant for the rest of my life."

I looked over and saw that Sid was nearby as he was holding a cart of some type. "So, what you're saying is, you'll take advantage of Sid's friendship?"

"I don't want to, but it doesn't seem like I have much of a choice." Arnold sighed.

I looked in the corner of my eye as I saw that Sid stopped and was listening in. Phoebe said, "Surely, there's another way..."

"I'm sorry. Sid has the life debt, and I can't go through with it... and there's no probable way he can save my life to be even with him, so may as well just let Sid do what he wants..." Arnold sighed.

We then heard Sid sniffling as Arnold's eyes widened. We all turned to see Sid was disappointed, hard. I knew he was there, but I didn't want to say anything... Arnold seemed worried. "Sid, wait! How long have you be-"

"Long enough." Sid sighed. "I just can't believe what I overheard, the fact that you would take advantage of me. You may have saved my life Arnold, and it was a very nice thing to do, but it wasn't that big of a deal."

"B-but that's exactly what I said to you at the beginning." Arnold said.

I looked over to see Sid and Arnold being uncomfortable around each other. Me and the girls looked at each other as we nodded. "Guys, hang on. Sure, everything may not have went according to plan, BUT that doesn't mean you'll stop being friends, right? Sid, Arnold is a great guy, he really is, just try to tone it down a little bit, okay?"

Sid paused... as he said, "I... guess I did get carried away, didn't I? I'm sorry, Arnold."

"No, I'm sorry. I can't believe I didn't think I would actually take advantage of your kindness." Arnold said. "I'm just glad I didn't do it."

"So, does this mean you guys are even?" Nadine asked.

The two paused... before smiling as Sid said, "Yeah, we're even!"

Sid and Arnold hi-fived each other as me and the girls smiled, Phoebe saying, "That's great you two made up. Well, we have a few things to do. What would you like to do?"

"Well, I've yet to go over to Mr. Chicken's House of Pancakes and Halibut." Sid smiled.

"Oh yeah, I heard that restaurant just opened up." I said as we decided to take our walks with the two boys. "Is it true they serve pancakes AND halibut? I didn't think it was possible."

"I know, breakfast with dinner? Unreal." Phoebe smiled.

"Oh, you'll see." Sid laughed.

"I'm just glad you're not my servant anymore." Arnold smiled.

I paused as I smirked mischieviously. "Don't worry, Arnold. Sid could still be your servant if you want."

Arnold's eyes widened as he started to run off, like a marathon runner as he screamed, "YAA! Someone save me!"

Sid blinked as he said, "I never knew Arnold to be a fast runner."

"I don't know what's wrong with him. Doesn't he know good help's hard to find?" I laughed as the other girls and Sid laughed too... we did eventually catch up to Arnold and explain that it was only a joke, so it was all good.

And so, we spent the rest of the day having a good time with Sid and Arnold... though I knew my next good time with Arnold would be our partner school project for Sunday and Monday... I was personally excited! This was going to be my moment!
