And now, the next episode, known as 'Weighing Harold'! Well, that episode is going to be in the background, anyway, whilst a new original episode is taking place in the life of Rhonda Wellington Lloyd! Anyway, enjoy!
"...and in conclusion, I believe that by helping those in need... rich or poor... they can benefit to us by the use of friendship." I finished stating my report as everybody clapped.
"Good job, Rhonda. You certainly have what it takes to be a graduate." Madame Parvenu smiled as I took my seat.
I sighed in relief as Big Patty went up for her turn. She smiled as she did her report on friendship. On Sunday, it was going to be quite a big day... graduation at my finishing school. Luckily, every one of my friends was going to be there to see me graduate from the school... along with a graduation party back at my house. I sighed as I relaxed. Life was going to be good...
"Not quite perfect, but perfect enough to pass." I smiled as I went outside with Big Patty, looking over our evaluations.
"You're lucky." Big Patty said as she looked at the paper. "I have 'practically perfect in every way'."
"Oh, kind of like Mary Poppins?" I asked.
Big Patty blinked. "Who's that?"
"Oh, uh... she's from a movie." I explained. "It's pretty good, maybe you should check it out sometime."
"Might just might do that." Big Patty smiled. "Say, Rhonda, you know if Harold's coming over to the graduation ceremony?"
"Miss your boyfriend?" I asked as Big Patty blushed.
"It's not that... it's just..." Big Patty sighed. "Okay, maybe I do miss him a little."
"Well, tomorrow he's coming back from his weight cruise thing. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you." I smiled as I looked over to her.
"You really think so?" Big Patty paused... then smiled. "I suppose you're right."
"I KNOW I'm right." I gave a smirk as our rides came over. "I'll see you on Sunday for the ceremony?"
"For sure." Big Patty nodded. "See you on Sunday!"
I nodded as I went into the car, which to my surprise, I saw Olga inside rather than my parents.
"Hi, Olga!" I smiled. "I'm guessing my parents went out again?"
"Pretty much." Olga nodded... before she smiled. "But they told me everything!"
She squealed in delight as she hugged me. "Oh, I can't believe you're going to graduate! It must be a huge honor!"
Another Olga-hug... I always felt so comfortable around it as I hugged her back. "I'm as excited as you are... say, Olga, you're not thinking of coming over to see my graduation party, are you?"
"Oh... sorry, Rhonda. I want to come, but..." Olga sighed. "Well, you know my parents, right?"
"Hm-mm." I nodded as I held my head, Helga was obviously walking around in my mind again.
"Well, they need me home all weekend... you see, the other day, Dad brought home a pet green parrot." Olga explained... as she sighed. "He is so adorable! You should totally see him!"
"Wait a minute... green parrot?" Helga said in my mind. "That must mean..."
"Hold up, Helga." I told her before turning to Olga. "A parrot?"
"Oh, yes. You see, Daddy brought him home the other day... mostly to have a pet around the house. I thought he was a pretty cute addition..." Olga smiled... before sighing. "Unfortunately, I think Daddy's starting to regret buying the bird. I'm mostly taking care of it, but I don't know how much longer we can keep Tweety... that's what I'm calling the parrot... I don't know... but as long as I show Dad we can be responsible for taking care of it... I think we can make it work. Just shut it up at night, and we'll be fine..."
"Did you try covering its' cage?" I asked.
"Of course I have! Plenty of times!" Olga laughed. "Come on, even I know you have to cover the parrot's cage at night so that it can fall asleep."
"Right..." I nodded.
"Anyway, I think Tweety would be a fine addition to the family!" Olga said. "We need a little... joy in our lives. Just so long as I keep him covered."
"I see..." I nodded as I sighed as we arrived at my house.
After a couple of hours with Olga, my parents came back and I told them about my day, which they were very impressed about. We kept talking until it was time for bed.
As I was getting ready for bed, I decided to go talk to Helga.
"Hey Helga, back with Olga, you were about to say something about the green parrot." I said.
"Well, you're lucky you don't have to worry about that dumb bird in your timeline." Helga sighed as I started brushing my teeth.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because in mine, I accidentally done a little poem at night, I was unaware at the time Bob brought the bird to my room. I couldn't sleep, so I had to think about something, and it just happened to be Arnold." Helga explained.
"No way! Poetry?" I asked.
"You better believe it, princess!" Helga laughed in my mind. "I'm actually a great poet in my school... although I mostly kept all my poems anonymous. Thank you, Mr. Simmons for respecting that..."
"What happened with your poem?" I asked.
"Well, I wrote it in my pink book..."
"Like I used to do in the early days." I paused in surprise.
"Something like that. Anyway, I had to recite the words so that I could get it right... and the next morning, that bird was repeating the poem! I didn't want it to spread, so I went to get a chainsaw to shut the bird up..."
"Why didn't you just give it something new to say? Or repeat a certain catchphrase or something?" I asked in my mind as I took off my glasses to put on the table.
"When you're in love and you want that love kept secret, you do crazy things." Helga sighed in my mind. "Anyway, I guess Big Bob had the same idea to kill that dumb bird, because when I came back, he flew out the window, and I had to give chase until it came to Arnold's house! And man, what an adventure that was!"
"What happened with the bird?" I asked.
"It got eaten at show-and-tell by a monitor lizard that I bought on accident trying to get that parrot back from Arnold..." Helga explained. "But at least it was the best accident in the world. Bob even let me KEEP that monitor lizard around... after persuading him that 'scary is the new fad' so that he could use the lizard for his commercials..."
"Did the Olga in your timeline like your new pet?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, Olga never met Deadpool-zilla. He was always with Bob, doing beeper commercials while Olga was visiting at home. I think the main reason is because Olga's scared of reptiles... but who really knows?"
"Deadpoolzilla?"
"It's an awesome name, shut up." Helga glared at me in my mind. "Besides, if I had a name for the bird if it was still around, I certainly wouldn't name it 'Tweety'!"
"What would you name the parrot?"
"Spiraling Talon Feet of Death." Helga smirked in my mind. "Now tell me that's not an awesome name!"
I paused as I sipped on my glass of water next to my bed. "That is the dumbest name I have ever heard in my life."
"Well, I wouldn't have named that parrot 'Tweety'." Helga frowned.
"Well, whatever. Thanks for the slight information on this... I'm going to bed..." I sighed as I laid my head down. "Night Helga. I'll be in an Arnold dream."
"Suit yourself." Helga said as I turned off the light, going to sleep.
The next day, I was getting fitted for a graduation gown my parents gave me when I heard Helga again.
"Yo! Rhonda!" I heard Helga as they slipped the gown on me.
"I'm in the middle of a fitting, Helga. Is this important?" I asked.
"Kind of. Remember the monitor lizard I told you about last night?" Helga asked.
"Yeah..." I started... before my eyes gleamed up. "Oh! You think the lizard's still there at the pet store? I don't know, Helga, somebody might have bought it already..."
"Trust me, nobody did!" Helga explained. "They didn't buy Deadpool-zilla for the three years he's been there! Who would have bought him?"
"I... I guess I can take a look, but I'm not buying that lizard!" I frowned.
"Fair enough..." Helga said in my mind as I kept getting fitted.
Later that day, I was walking around the streets, heading towards the direction of the pet store that Helga was directing me to... when I came across Sharlene, who was drinking from a thermos.
"Hi, Sharlene!" I smiled as I came over.
"Oh, hello, Rhonda." Sharlene said as she sipped from her thermos. "Don't mind me, just having my lunch."
"Oh." I said as I looked at her. "What are you eating?"
"Just a delicacy from Hong Kong. You want to try?" Sharlene asked, handing the thermos over.
"Sure." I took the thermos as I took a sip. Hmmm... tangy taste. "Not bad. What is it?"
"Lizard soup." Sharlene said as she took another sip. "Did you know lizards make a great soup?"
"Huh. Weird." I paused. "Well, I'll leave you to your lunch break!"
"Okay!" Sharlene said as she continued drinking from her thermos. "But seriously, give this lizard soup another try! There was a small store that served it at the deli!"
"All right!" I nodded as I walked off. "See you later, Sharlene!"
"See you!" Sharlene nodded as she sighed, and I continued walking.
As I continued walking, I noticed Big Patty and Harold talking with each other, Harold a little upset because he... was a bit pudgy. From what I'm seeing, Big Patty seemed to be comforting him, giving him some advice. I didn't quite listen to what they were saying, but, I had a feeling Harold's cruise didn't go so well... but Harold seemed to be getting better because Big Patty seemed to give him confidence...
But I knew I couldn't stay around... I had to check out the pet store... just to please Helga...
When I got to the pet store, I looked inside and looked around.
"Birds, dogs, cats, fish... where's Deadpool-zilla? Where is he?" Helga said in worry as I looked around.
I sighed. "Helga, he was already bought! He probably went to a lovely home!"
"Nobody bought him before! Maybe they took him to the back! Go in and ask! I just want to know if Deadpool-zilla's okay!" Helga said in a panic.
"Helga..."
"JUST DO IT!" Helga said in my mind, really worried.
"Okay, okay! I'll ask!" I said as I went into the pet store.
The girl at the register looked up. "How may I help you?"
I took a deep breath as I said, "Hi, do you have any monitor lizards in your pet store?"
The girl at the register huffed. "Hm... should have been there yesterday, kid. The only monitor lizard in this place got bought yesterday by a purple-dressed, raven haired little girl!"
"Purple dre- raven hai-" Helga gasped in my mind. "Rhonda, that's the same girl who ruined my life! The one who killed Dr. Bliss! And the one you saw who tried to steal the boots at Christmas!"
"What? It can't be!" I thought in disbelief.
"Although she must have anticipated someone feigning interest on that lizard..." The girl said as she handed a note. "She said to give this note to the person who asked about that lizard... well, it seems it's you..."
I blinked as I took the note.
I heard Helga yelp in my mind. "I'm afraid..."
"On three?" I asked.
"Yes." Helga said before we paused. "Three."
I nodded as I opened the note and started to read it.
'I have killed your pet lizard and made him into soup. If this doesn't get you to reveal yourself, I don't know what will. You have been warned, unborn! I'm never giving up! I know you're out there... you've been hiding from me for almost ten years... but nobody hides forever now, do they?
Signed...'
I looked at the signature... it was the very same S Dr. MacFarlane had drawn when he showed us what was on Dr. Bliss' forehead... the one with ram like horns and tail.
"She's hunting me..." Helga said. "Rhonda, promise me no matter what, we'll get through this..."
I sighed. "I don't know what any of this means... but Helga... I promise, I'll try to protect you... should anything happen..."
When I left the pet store, I was in a bit of a... stupor. I knew Helga was sitting down, scared. I know now that little girl, the one that was... odd... who was she? Why would she keep tormenting Helga, who shouldn't even exist in this timeline... does Helga still exist in this timeline?
There were just so many questions spinning around, I had to get home quickly just to lay down in bed...
There's episode one hundred and twenty-seven! How'd you like it? Well, anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
