Chapter 4:
"Arnold…..Arnold….ARNOLD GET UP!" Amelia screamed looking over Arnold in his bed.
"What?" he asked rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"Don't you remember? Today's the day you ask Helga to go on a date" Amelia said eagerly.
"What? Oh…yeah… listen Amy I don't think I can do this, Lila would get really mad at me if I did" Arnold said laying back down.
"Who cares, she's really mean, and evil, and Helga's not" Amelia said smiling.
"Well how am I going to ask her? Oh hey Helga my little sister wants me to go on a date with you because you were nice to her, don't pound me" Arnold said dumbly.
"Pound you? Helga she seems really nice to me" Amelia said shrugging.
"She is….. well….kind of…sort of…not in so many words. What do you think Helga's like anyway, since you know so much about her?" Arnold asked raising his eyebrow.
"Well she seems kind of shy, but protective, she's not the kind to get close to a person, because I think she's scared she might lose them. Helga likes fighting for what's right, and she has really big amazing dreams, but has no self confidence to think she could achieve them" Amelia said.
Arnold stared at her stunned. Amelia got everything right about Helga, and some stuff he probably never thought of. "Amy, how'd you do that?" Arnold asked.
"I can read people, it's actually pretty easy" Amelia said shrugging. "Mom and Dad used to call it my gift."
"Well, now I know we're brother and sister. We both have that keen since of reading people" Arnold said smiling.
"Well me yeah, but you are kind of thick in the head" Amelia said laughing.
"I am not thick in the head!" Arnold said offended.
"Can you tell Helga has a crush on you?" Amelia asked.
"No, because Helga doesn't has a crush on me, she hates my guts" Arnold said sadly.
"Wow, you're even thicker than I thought you" Amelia said.
"Gee, that's a very nice thing to say to your only brother" Arnold said sarcastically.
"Hey I'm just saying you should pay attention to people more often" Amelia said shrugging.
"Well, I'm the one people call when they need they're problems fixed" Arnold said proudly.
"Wow, you guys must be desperate" Amelia said.
"HEY, That's mean!" Arnold said angrily.
"Man, Arnold don't take everything so seriously, so are you going to do it" Amelia said laughing.
"Do what?" Arnold asked smiling.
"ARNOLD!" Amelia said.
"I'm just kidding don't take everything so seriously, I'll ask her" Arnold said laughing.
"Good now go" Amelia said pushing Arnold out of his bedroom door.
"I'm going, I'm going. Gosh I've only known you for three days and you're already playing match maker" Arnold said smiling down at his little sister.
"Yep, I'm awesome like that. Now go Helga's in the park I called her" Amelia said, almost pushing Arnold head first down the steps.
"Hey!…wait you called her!" Arnold asked looking at her like she had all her mind.
"Yeah, I told her you wanted to talk to her, and she said ok, so she's waiting for you right now" Amelia said happily.
"How did you get her number?" Arnold asked her suspiciously.
"Grandpa had it, he said that you two used to call each other a lot when you guys were kids" Amelia said.
Arnold stopped. "I remember that, I haven't called her since I was like…9 years old. It's been seven years!
"Well good you two have some catching up to do, now go" Amelia said.
Arnold ran to the park as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Oh and, Arnold!" Amelia called. "Good luck!"
