Here is the next episode in line... 'Helga and the Nanny'... OR, as I'm going to put it... 'Olga and the Nanny'! This is probably going to be an interesting set-up for sure! Maybe. Anyway, enjoy!

"So, let me see if I'm getting this correctly..." I said as we got off the bus with Sharlene. "Olga's mother drove while drunk, got into an accident, and has to do community service?"

"Yep." Sharlene nodded.

"So, while Olga's mother is off doing community service at an animal shelter, Olga's FATHER decided to hire a nanny for around the house." Phoebe summarized. "Doesn't sound bad so far..."

"Hm-mm..." Sharlene sighed.

"But she seems to control Olga wherever she goes?" Nadine asked.

"Seems to know where she is at the exact moment!" Sharlene groaned. "It's been like this almost all week!"

"Is the nanny... bad?" I asked, out of curiosity.

"No, no, she's not "bad". She just seems to control Olga's life!" Sharlene groaned. "And I'm sick of it. Olga's nanny NEVER lets her hang out with me for more than... like an hour! That's not nearly enough time to grab a milkshake!"

"Come on, Sharlene. Maybe this whole nanny thing is exactly what Olga needs." I said. "You're probably just overreacting. Besides, Olga has a good personality, I'm sure she doesn't mind the nanny idea. If anything, it probably saves her some time from helping her mother out all the time. Besides, Olga's pretty well-behaved in the house, she'll probably be fine."

Sharlene sighed. "I guess you're right. Besides, from what Olga told me, it's only temporary. Big Bob got her hired for a week, so it probably won't be an issue."

"Just wait for a while, then. Olga will be back in her regular schedule in no time." Phoebe smiled.

"All right, but come to the mall at my shift. I'll show you what I mean." Sharlene said as she turned to leave.

We got a little curious as we decided to head home.

Friday after school, as me, Nadine and Phoebe arrived at the mall and into the clothing store, we carefully walked around as we spotted Sharlene talking with Olga. We were pretending to browse around while we were listening in to Sharlene and Olga.

"Seriously, Olga, when are you going to get rid of that nanny? It's been almost a week!" Sharlene said. "I'm begging you, please get her out."

"I don't see what's wrong with Inge." Olga shrugged. "Personally, I like her. She's that bundle of positivity I need after all the negativity that's around the house. Besides, from she told me, she's only here for the week, just to help around. She even taught me to be well-behaved."

"You're already well-behaved!" Sharlene glared.

"Well, more well-behaved than I usually am." Olga smiled. "Unfortunately, that means Inge'll have to leave tomorrow or Sunday morning, it depends on her schedule."

Sharlene frowned as she crossed her arms. Olga sighed. "Come on, Sharlene, don't be like that. Maybe YOU need the nanny. Hey, maybe I can recommend Inge to you!"

"Oh no! I already HAVE enough things at my apartment!" Sharlene shook her head.

"Okay, have it your way." Olga shrugged. "By the way, if you see Rhonda or her friends, could you tell her next NO PEOPLE meeting is on Monday afternoon?"

"Will do." Sharlene smiled. "See you tomorrow... if I do."

"You will." Olga said.

"Olga, darling!"

Sharlene groaned as me and my friends turned our heads to see a blonde Swedish woman in typical Swedish dress. Hmmmm... not a bad clothing choice. The woman then said, "Talk time is over, Olga. Time to head on back."

"Yes, Inge." Olga smiled. "See you, Sharlene."

As Olga decided to follow Inge out, as soon as she was out of ear and eye shot, me, Nadine and Phoebe came over as Sharlene sighed. "See? This is what I had to put up with all week!"

"She seems pretty nice, though..." Phoebe said.

"Yeah... I guess..." Sharlene sighed. "But you know what? Even if Olga didn't even need that nanny, maybe she did need a little more positivity. Even if Big Bob fires her for no inexplicable reason, I'm sure Olga needs all the help she could get..."

"Don't worry. Olga's fine. She seems to be getting along with her nanny pretty well..." I said.

Sharlene paused. "Maybe you girls are right..."

"You ever wonder what it would be like if we HAD a nanny around?" Nadine asked.

I paused to ponder that question. "An interesting thought, Nadine... but not likely. We're good girls. We're well-behaved. I'm sure we'll be able to get by with what we had."

Nadine blinked. "That's probably a good point."

As me, Nadine and Phoebe decided to leave the mall after our talk with Sharlene, I was still pondering the question on the whole nanny idea...

Heck, I was even pondering that question later that night, after dinner, as I was making my plans to get closer to Arnold and arranging the best party of the century. What would it be like to have a nanny? I looked up and sighed.

Sure, there are a few nannies that are fussy, and yes, there may be some mean nannies somewhere... but I'm sure they don't mind the work they do, and the pay they earn. I thought it would be nice to have a nanny around the house, even if she's tough, but fair. I mean, we're rich, my parents could probably afford a nanny...

But then again, maybe I don't need one in the end. Sure, they're helpful, but I already got what I needed... two loving parents, some great friends, and a life to look forward to, no matter what the outcome is.

As I kept writing up plans, I sighed as I kept looking up to the ceiling. I looked towards the calendar and noticed Monday was Veterans' Day. I smiled as I looked up. Veterans' Day, meaning no school on Monday! Even if it is to honor the troops who served our country...

Maybe NO PEOPLE could have a picnic. Maybe I'll throw that idea to Olga. I'll call her tomorrow, though. As for me, I need to rest up. It was going to be a long weekend...

And there is episode eighty-five! How do you like it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks! And don't forget to check out and/or add to the TVTropes page!
