And now, for 'Helga's Parrot'! Or rather, 'Olga's Parrot'! Or rather, this episode is going to be more in the background while I write a different episode that expands a little more on Helga's backstory... as well as learning who we're up against! Anyway, enjoy!
I lied down in bed as I sighed, deciding to talk to Helga. "I just don't understand it, Helga. Why would that little girl be after you? Who is she? Why does she seem obsessed with you?"
Helga paused as she sighed. "Take a little nap. I have another thing I want to show you."
I blinked. "Okay..."
I decided to blink my eyes a little bit as I went right to sleep.
Inside Helga's room, I sat down as Helga was preparing a screen. I looked up at the screen. "Another movie?"
"Just watch..." Helga sighed as she pushed 'Play' on the monitor. "This is the Pataki household almost ten years ago..."
Outside the Pataki household, ten years ago, it seemed like a regular house as a piano was heard playing. On the screen, I saw Helga and that little girl peeking into the windows.
"Jesus, even as a little kid, Olga is still so obnoxious!" Helga groaned as she was looking inside.
Inside the window, a young teenage girl, in a white shirt and a blue shirt, with combed blonde hair was playing the piano perfectly as an older, but younger, Big Bob Pataki was sitting nearby as he was smiling.
"Another good one, Olga!" Big Bob laughed. "I'm proud of you!"
The young Olga giggled. "Aren't I always, Daddy?"
Helga rolled her eyes as she sat down. "Why am I even HERE anyway?"
"Well... nobody can see you, right? Of course they don't." The little girl gave a large smirk. "What is the biggest thing you ever wanted to do to your mother... ever?"
Helga paused as she blinked. "Miriam? Well... if she wasn't so drunk all the time, I'd... trip her, get her by surprise."
"Of course you would." The little girl nodded. "Well... you're here, and this is a time when your so called mother became sober. Go on..."
"I don't know..." Helga said, looking down. "Even if she was a bit of a pain and not helpful..."
"Are you telling me you STILL have feelings for your mother? The one who constantly ignored you, the one who never was a big help to you? She only helped you when it became necessary for help! She was drunk those other times..." The little girl smiled.
"Well..." Helga blinked... then smirked. "When you put it like that... tell me where she is..."
"We're too transparent, your sister and father won't see us... but if we do this right... your future mother will... let's say... go down the stairs?" The little girl raised an eyebrow.
"When you put it like that, Solara..." Helga smirked. "Let's go for it."
Solara... so that was the girl's name...
I continued watching as Solara took Helga by the hand as they walked right through the door, as if they were ghosts. I continued watching as the two passed by Big Bob and Olga.
"Listen, honey..." Big Bob took a deep breath, as if not finding any words easy to say.
"Yes, daddy?" the young Olga looked up at Big Bob, smiling.
"God, she's even doing those big eyes!" Helga said in disgust.
"Does it matter! Get on me, and put your foot in position on the middle step!" Solara ordered.
"Fine, fine... anything to get a normal life, like you're going to give me!" Helga said as she climbed up the step and positioned her foot. "Jesus, you're hard to keep balance on!"
"...your mother and I... well, we have some news..." Big Bob sighed. "I'm... I'm just not sure how you'd react..."
"She's about to come out..." Solara gave a smirk.
Helga laughed... before pausing. "Wait a minute... Solara, what day and year are we in?"
"Does it matter? Keep your foot out!" Solara glared.
"WHAT DAY AND YEAR... ARE WE IN?" Helga said about to lift her foot off the step.
I suddenly gasped, realizing what was about to happen... as Helga looked down in shame.
"Miriam, could you come down here? I think it's time..." Big Bob called as Olga looked up.
"Coming, honey!" Miriam was heard calling as she was about to come downstairs.
Solara frowned as she bit Helga's finger.
"YEOWCH!" Helga yelped as her foot on the step rolled around, right into Miriam's path... the only focus was Helga and Solara as Helga felt Miriam tripping on her foot.
"AHHH!" Miriam was heard screaming as she fell down the steps.
"MOMMY!" Olga was heard gasping.
"Miriam, are you okay?" Big Bob was heard.
"What just happened?" Helga glared as she got off Solara. "Why the heck did you bite my finger!"
"You were interested in the day and year?" Solara smirked.
"Yes..." Helga said.
"Olga, call a hospital, quick! Hurry!" Big Bob was heard calling. "It's okay, Miriam, you're going to pull through..."
"Welcome to 1992... you would have been conceived in about seven months." Solara gave a smirk.
"I would have been conceived, what do you-" Helga started... before sudden realization dawned on her. "...no... no, no, Miriam couldn't have still been..."
"That's right, Helga. She was pregnant with you!" Solara smirked as she walked out.
"You-" Helga growled as she ran off, not paying attention to the fallen Miriam, who had a bit of blood surrounding her.
Solara was outside, filing her nails as Helga frowned. "YOU TRICKED ME, YOU LITTLE..."
"Bitch?" Solara blew on her nails. "I expect that kind of response."
"Put me back in my world... my timeline... where I LIVE! NOW!" Helga growled.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Helga, I can't do that." Solara frowned. "As you may have noticed, the way we got here is now gone! Your world is no more."
"What! Of course my world is still there! It has to be!" Helga begged.
"Nope. Sorry. All gone. The minute Miriam tripped and lost you." Solara smirked. "You know, Helga... you should have known better than to trust the devil."
"Devil?" Helga paused... then her eyes widened. "You're the devil?!"
Then, to Helga's (and me when I was watching this) shock, Solara grew little ram horns and a small devil tail. "Oh come on! Isn't it obvious, Helga? I'm sorry to say, every dimension I've seen, you were always there... and that was a shame. I'm interested in seeing a world without Helga Pataki... aren't you? Anyway, you're dead now..."
Solara then summoned a scroll as she read it. "Oh... my, my... it seems that an unborn soul is on my list... future name that could have been... 'HELGA PATAKI'!"
Helga growled. "You set me up! You set this all up! That pole when I punched Arnold was definitely not there!"
"Of course it wasn't! I conjured it up!" Solara laughed. "As for your little friend... Phoebe, I believe... I had to manipulate her mind... just a little. Besides, I needed you to not have any comfort or someone to talk to... and anyway, I knew you'd fall for something stupid like 'having a normal life with loving parents'! You really think the DEVIL would give you a normal life? Well... I suppose you have a new one in my version of Hell! Well..."
Solara snapped her fingers as a devilish portal appeared. "You're not born and it seems you have no reason you shouldn't exist! Time to go, Helga!"
"I'm not going anywhere!" Helga growled as she put up her fists.
Solara just laughed. "Do you really think you have a choice in the matter? Time to go, bitch!"
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a bright light shined right on Solara as Solara groaned. "AW, MARCIE DAMMIT! How did the sun move in my eyes?"
Helga blinked in confusion... when she heard a voice.
"Helga! RUN! RUN NOW! You're no match against her! GO!"
Helga looked around. "How?"
"You're transparent and a ghost! Fly!" The voice said in annoyance. "Run and hide, hurry!"
Helga didn't need another prompting as she started to run off. As Helga kept running, she heard Solara yell, "YOU MAY HAVE ESCAPED, UNBORN, BUT YOU JUST WAIT! I WILL FIND YOU! THERE'S NO WAY BACK! AND WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU... THE REST OF THIS WORLD IS GOING DOWN!"
The screen stopped as I stared in shock. Helga looked down as I looked at her. "So... Miriam tripping and her miscarriage..."
"It was all my fault!" Helga sobbed. "I was tricked by a little girl who was a demon in disguise!"
Helga then sat down and sobbed a bit. "I thought I would get a normal life... but no... it's because of me Olga ended up where she is now!"
"I guess Big Bob wanted to tell Olga that they were having another child..." I sighed.
"I feel so stupid..." Helga sniffled. "Maybe I SHOULD just give myself up... I mean, Dr. Bliss and now Deadpool-zilla? What if... what if she tries for Arnold next?"
"Helga... it's not your fault. If anything... it was that girl, Solara." I explained. "Don't you see? She's trying to get you to come out... she's trying to lure you out! Helga, I said I would protect you... and I mean every word of it! Even if people don't know who you are... I promise you, you're staying with me!"
Helga looked at me, pausing... before hugging me. "Thanks, Rhonda..."
"No trouble... though one thing puzzles me... HOW did you and Solara get into the time period you were in, seven months before... well, in your timeline, BEFORE you were... well..." I paused, awkwardly.
"That's yet another story... for another time." Helga sighed. "For now, why don't we stick together?"
I nodded. "Okay, Helga. You just tell me what to do and how you did it... and if situation comes to worse, I'll try it."
"I knew I could count on you, Princess." Helga laughed as we shook hands.
I woke up from my bed as I yawned. I looked outside. Almost late afternoon. Well, better to see if I can just get another walk in.
As I went outside, I noticed Olga was sitting near the steps of the house. I walked out, surprised. "Hey, Olga? You okay?"
"Well..." Olga sighed. "Sort of."
"What's wrong?" I asked as I lifted her up.
"Daddy took the bird back to the pet store." Olga sighed. "It just wasn't working out. It wasn't the bird or my dad, it's just... well, let's just say we figured it was okay to take Tweety back."
"Oh, sorry to hear that, Olga." I sighed. "Do you need some comfort?"
"Well... I was thinking about getting ice cream... and then figured, 'What better way than to eat with a good friend?'. Sharlene is working late, and my other friends are out, and... Rhonda, would you mind if..."
I smiled as I hugged Olga. "I wouldn't mind at all..."
Olga smiled as she took my arm. "Well, let's go then. Maybe we can discuss possible careers."
I smiled as we continued walking, when I heard Helga's voice. "You know, Olga may not have a sister in this timeline... but she is definitely becoming closer... to us."
I nodded as we continued walking.
There's episode one hundred and twenty-eight! How'd you like it? Yeah, I realize I put out some bombshells, but hopefully, in time, the story will become more clear in the future. For now, though, we'll continue on with some lighter stuff in the next episode! Well, anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
