Here's the second part of the episode 'April Fool's Day'! Anyway, enjoy!

I just watched as Caroline... eh, the old woman... eh, I mean Marcie, I mean... I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE! God... I'm just going to say Marcie since that's what Curly calls her.

"I'm okay... just a little in shock..." Marcie muttered, rubbing her eyes. Marcie then sighed as she then said, "It's okay, Rhonda, I know you didn't mean to cause harm... to me anyway."

I blinked as all three kids, including Curly, turned to where I was watching from the door. I tried to duck, but Pudding then said, "We just saw you, na no da! You don't need to pretend you're hiding."

I just sighed as I walked in and closed the door. "Okay... answers. Why is Caroline suddenly an old woman? Why is Caroline not named Caroline, but named Marcie? Are you really-"

Marcie did nothing but put a hand up as if to stop me from talking. I instantly kept silent as she motioned me to sit. I obeyed as Marcie sighed.

"I know you probably don't remember me, not that I blame you. Sometimes, memories can be affected in splits." Marcie explained in a calm, old woman British sounding voice. "But basically, I am the person that Curly here explains to you as Marcie."

"Yeah, we used to be-" Curly started, but Marcie shook her head and held up her hand to stop Curly from talking.

Marcie sighed. "You see, Rhonda, I am not actually a little kid, I grew out of being a child since the early 1930s."

"1930s?" I said in disbelief.

"I am well aware that it's hard to believe, that I've been living since the 1930s... I was actually born in the early 20s, but I spent a good majority of childhood in the thirties." Marcie explained.

"How did you live this long, and how can you transform?" I asked.

"You've heard from Curly about Craz-E religion, right?" Marcie asked.

I nodded.

"Well... it's sort of something I accidentally created, along with my friend, who I didn't know had dark intentions at the time. You've heard all the ghost stories of old and how strange things often happen in Hillwood City?" Marcie asked.

I nodded, listening.

"Well, believe it or not, most of these occurrences, while a few are questionable, there are quite a few things that may be not so far-fetched as you think." Marcie explained as she rubbed her head. "You see, I'm not even from this world or universe, I live in another universe, though I frequently travel..."

"Wait... so, I knew you as Caroline, and you don't live in this city?" I frowned.

"No, and neither does Solara, who as of now is currently on the hunt for you." Marcie explained.

"So, Solara... she was your friend?" I asked, blinking.

Marcie sighed. "She was... once... we were the best of friends, but I didn't know at the time that she would betray me, all because she became obsessed with destroying worlds... I already told you of a great battle I had with her, but all I can say any more about that battle was that it involved religious items from my end, and body parts of certain creatures on Solara's end. Either way, I learned that Solara was the Anti-Christ bent on destroying us all. She meant to do it in 1929, but I stopped her at the last second and defeated her."

"What did you do to her after this... battle?" I asked.

"I had the opportunity to just end her... but I couldn't do it. Maybe it's because I still saw her as a friend... so I just banished her to some other dimension..." Marcie said.

"...but she escaped, somehow." I finished.

"I'm afraid so." Marcie sighed. "I didn't even know about it until the eighties. Some say she escaped with her life, but some say that she's still in that other dimension, but couldn't manage to get to the home dimension I live in."

"Indeed." Pudding nodded. "Actually, me and Bucky here? We're not in your world either."

"You're not? Why are you two here?" I asked.

"It's probably pretty obvious..." I heard Bucky say from under his hood. "Like Curly here, me and Pudding are also followers of Marcie..."

"Yeah, though Bucky's support is pretty... questionable..." Pudding sighed. "But all the same, we're still a team... Rhonda, I know you don't remember me, but you and I have met before..."

"We have?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, you probably don't remember, but you and I, along with three other girls, each from different dimensions, were trapped by Solara who put us in an office building and forced us into a time loop to follow a certain story. I don't know why Solara did it, maybe she was bored that day... or maybe it was days... could have been months. Either way, your memory got wiped of that event, so I'm not too surprised you don't remember... in fact, all of us girls that were in that office building got our memories wiped. I only got them back because I was a friend of Marcie." Pudding said.

"When was this?" I asked, confused.

"You weren't wearing the glasses back then, so... probably BEFORE you got them? I guess?" Pudding shrugged.

"I see..." I paused as I turned to Bucky. "And what about you?"

"Oh come on, surely you remember the... 'Wonderland' thing?" Bucky said as he rolled his eyes.

"Wonderland-" I started, before my eyes widened, remembering that dream. "Wait... you're that cat from my dream that acted like a jerk!"

"Well..." Bucky said before lifting his hood up... to reveal a black haired human face with purple eyes. "You got part of that right. Like Marcie here, I'm a bit of a guardian... whenever nobody's around, I fill in... I've been a supporter since the beginning, one could say..."

"Does anybody know about this... crazy religion?" I asked.

Curly shook his head as he said, "It's only known to those who have indirectly been involved with Solara..."

"Is there a way that she can be beaten?" I asked as I turned to Marcie.

Marcie sighed as she shook her head. "Nobody knows for certain... she was destined to be a destroyer of worlds... and that's my job... even though I have a good satisfying life, I want to make sure that every dimension, no matter how crazy or nonsensical it is, be safe from the harmful ways of Solara..."

"Why did she..." I started to ask.

"...murder Helga?" Marcie sighed as she looked down. "Sometimes, Solara just feels in the mood to collect souls... troubled souls. She intended to take Helga's soul away by tricking her into doing her bidding... fortunately, I got a heads-up on where she was... and I temporarily blinded her for a time, giving Helga time to escape..."

Marcie then put a hand on my head. "Rather than explain it, how about I just show you?"

I felt a tingling in my head as a flash came before my eyes.

I looked around to see myself on the streets. It was then I heard panting from nearby.

I turned around and saw Helga near a street corner, holding her heart as she took a deep breath. It was obvious she had just finished running. Helga sighed in relief as she muttered, "What the heck was that?"

Helga groaned as she walked out. "Great... I'm lost somewhere in the past, the machine that took me back is with Solara, and it's probably destroyed!"

Helga then saw a man walk past her. "Hey! I'm walking-"

The man then went through Helga, as if she was air. Helga's eyes widened as she watched the man walk by her. "...here?"

Helga paused as she looked inside her dress. She sighed. "My things I took are still there..."

Helga groaned as she tried to reach inside... Helga groaned. "I can't even touch them... are they transparent too?"

"I'm afraid so, Helga."

Helga's eyes widened... as she turned to see Marcie sitting nearby. Helga fearfully put her arms up as she threatened, "You... you're not with... with that demon, are you?"

Marcie sighed. "You might say we used to be friends... but not anymore..."

"How-how come you can see me, and not anybody else?" Helga asked out of mere curiosity.

Marcie sighed as she motioned Helga to come closer. Helga did as she sat next to Marcie.

Marcie then said, "Unfortunately, I'm alive, but also a spirit. Helga... sometimes, life throws a curveball that nobody can understand, not even the people of yesterday, today or tomorrow... Solara wanted to get you because... you had the most troubled soul in your timeline."

"S-surely there was somebody else in my... my home that..." Helga started.

"I'm afraid that she seemed interested in you. I'm sorry, Helga. I wanted to save you, but it appears I came too late." Marcie sighed.

"So... am I really dead? Am I... going to be gone?" Helga looked down.

"Well... you are dead in this timeline, Helga. However... it's THIS timeline where you're dead." Marcie said.

"Are you saying that my timeline still exists?" Helga asked, curiously.

"Yes, but the way won't open unless you try to redeem yourself... through the three feelings for people you never even knew cared for you." Marcie said. "If you can manage to get those feelings, the pathway will be open for you to go back..." Marcie explained.

Helga just blinked. "I don't understand..."

"Things may not make sense to you now, but..." Marcie said. "In time, they will. Until then, you need to hide in a very pure place where even Solara wouldn't dare tread or find you..."

"Where is that?" Helga asked as Marcie got up.

"You should know... you're sitting next to it..." Marcie said as she walked off.

Helga paused as she looked up. She gasped as she saw the familiar red colored building... with the 'No Kids, Pets Okay' sign.

Helga gasped. "Arnold..."

It was then Helga noticed a car pulling up to the road... and when I felt myself being pulled out...

I blinked as I looked at Marcie, who by now, had transformed back into her kid form, Caroline. I shook my head as I looked at Marcie. "So... you helped Helga hide in... Arnold's place?"

"Unlike Solara, she didn't care for romance or love or whatever. She was more into... troubled people and their souls." Marcie explained. "But I saw Helga for who she really was... she may have been a tough person, but she really wanted to be kind at heart..."

"Did she get those feelings from the people?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know. You tell me." Curly rolled his eyes.

I raised an eyebrow in confusion as Marcie told me. "I merely took this kid form just to keep my eye on Helga, to help her out through these adventures..."

"That's why you randomly appear each time I'm talking with one of my friends or if I'm doing some odd activity!" I snapped my fingers.

"Exactly." Pudding said. "We want to help you... help Helga."

"We all want to get her back to her timeline." Bucky explained. "However, the way she's going... I don't know if that'll be the way... unless she... well... I don't know if she can do it with..."

"What are you trying to say?" I asked.

"Isn't it obvious!" Curly groaned as I shook my head.

Marcie sighed. "Don't worry about it, Rhonda. In time, you'll figure it out... until then, I wouldn't advise you to tell anybody about what you saw."

"Because they'd dub me insane?" I asked.

"Something along the lines of that." Marcie nodded. "But don't expect this to be the end of the conversation. Come back to us when you or Helga have more questions."

I just nodded as I heard the school bell ring. Marcie then turned to me as she said, "And I hope you can keep calling me Caroline each time we meet when you're not alone."

"Right." I said as two portals appeared behind Bucky and Pudding as they each stepped into one and disappeared.

As of current, there was quite a lot to take in as I was back in class, looking at Olga teaching away a math problem. So... was there some sort of magic that goes on in this world? And other worlds? If so... do they work the same way?

When I heard the lunch bell ring, I got up and started to go off.

"Rhonda!"

I stopped and turned to see Arnold come up to me. "Oh. Hey, charming!"

"Hey, beautiful." Arnold smiled. "I was looking for you at recess. Where were you?"

"Oh..." I paused as I smiled a bit. "I've been a bit preoccupied. Sorry about that."

"Eh, it's all right." Arnold said. "Anyway, I needed to talk to you about something."

"What's that?" I asked, out of mere curiosity.

"Well, you know the April Fool's dance is tonight, and I was wondering if you'd... well..." Arnold paused.

I smiled a bit and put a hand on his shoulder as he looked at me. "I'd love to."

"Great!" Arnold said as he started to go off. "I'll see you soon, then!"

"You know it!" I giggled as I sighed. Oh, Arnold... such a sweet soul...

I heard a girlish giggle coming from next to me. I turned to see Olga giving a warm smile toward me as I said, "Something humorous, Miss Pataki?"

Olga gave a smile as she bent down to me and smiled. "Your parents would be very proud of you, sweetheart, having a boyfriend as sweet as yours."

I smiled a bit at Olga. "They probably are, Olga, they probably are..."

"After school, we are getting you a new dress so that you can go to that dance together!" Olga squealed in delight.

I smiled as I nodded. "Thanks, Olga. That's really thoughtful of you."

Olga just gave a smile as she said, "You better get off to lunch, sweetie. You're late as it is."

I nodded as I started to go off.

Well, throughout the rest of the day, aside from the students pulling the occasional pranks, we had a relatively easy school day. After school, Olga took me to get a new dress for the dance tonight, which looked pretty good on me... a red velvet dress with a pretty pearl necklace that Olga owned.

And over at the dance, everyone was happily dancing with their partners... me with Arnold, Gerald with Phoebe, Nadine with Tucker, heck, even Lorenzo and Lila were having fun and dancing in public, now that they had nothing to worry about concerning the upper and lower class rights. There were many others there as well, but me and Arnold were just having the fun of our lives...

"Arnold... this was the sweetest thing you've done for me. Thank you." I smiled as we were leaning together.

"You're welcome, Rhonda." Arnold smiled as we leaned closer...

Why do I hear the floor on the gym opening up?

"PUSH!"

Me and Arnold both yelped as we felt two pairs of hands pushing us at the pool. We yelped as we got wet, shaking ourselves as everyone was watching us. I looked up to see a chuckling Curly and Marcie, in her Caroline form, as Marcie looked down at me and said, "April Fool's. We're now even."

Marcie snapped her fingers as she walked off.

Arnold shook his head as he turned to me and said, "I don't know what you do to Caroline that makes you angry, but please don't torment her anymore. Seriously."

"Okay, okay." I said. "I'll stop."

And stop I would, because even I knew not to hurt Marcie anymore... now that I know she's actually on my side.

Anyway, guess that caused a little reaction, because it was just after me and Arnold got out, that Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz announced the King of Fools, which just happened to be Eugene... who of course, fell into the pool. Curly and Caroline pushed us again, but this time, we took them in with us, where we all had a good laugh. Actually, that caused about everybody to just push or pull somebody in the pool, which was just the best moment of our lives.

And as I was getting out with Marcie, I smiled towards her and said, "You're not too bad... Caroline."

"You're a good prankster yourself... Rhonda." Marcie nodded as we were getting out. "By the way, we just swam in sewer water due to a prank gone wrong by two big nosed boys who were trying to flush a live turtle down a toilet."

I stopped in sudden shock as Marcie smirked and left. "I'll leave you to let it all sink in..."

I grimaced in disgust as Arnold took my hand and said, "I think it's time to go, shall we?"

I nodded. "Yeah... let's go back home. We need a shower, bad."

"Why?" Arnold asked.

I quickly whispered in his ear as Arnold's eyes widened and yelped. "Good point."

Well, either way, we all had a good night... and even though I know a lot about Marcie... there's still a lot on Helga that I wanted to know...

And there's part two of episode one hundred and forty five! How was it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
