Silly little drabble that I came up with once a long long time ago. (Yesterday)

The first thing Gerald noticed about his friend's arrival was his anger, which radiated off the boy as if he were up in flames. He couldn't understand what could've happened on the short walk from the school to Slausen's that had made him so mad.

"Hey Arnold? What's the problem?" Gerald asked.

"She's so confusing!" Arnold cried and slammed his books onto the table before sitting across from him.

"Who?" Gerald asked, expecting another 'Lila' conversation.

"Helga. G. Pataki!" Arnold said in a slightly exasperated voice.

Gerald's eyebrow crept up, this was new.

"What did she do?" he asked.

"Same as every other day, tripped me up, called me names..."

Gerald couldn't see what was wrong.

"...and then she apologised." Arnold cried.

And there it was.

"Whoa! Back this train up... she apologised?"

"Yes!" Arnold cried and ran a hand through his unruly hair. "Helga Pataki is the most crazy, annoying, obnoxious, excruciatingly irritating, infuriating, intoxicating, stubborn girl I have ever MET!"

Gerald frowned at his friend.

"What did you say?" he asked.

"That Helga's the craziest..." Arnold started again.

"No, at the end." Gerald interrupted.

"Girl I have ever met?" Arnold asked, confused.

Gerald sighed at his best friend's density. "No, before that."

"Excruciatingly irritating?"

"NO!" Gerald half-yelled and stood up, slamming his hands on the table.

Arnold looked at his friend in shock.

"You said that she was INTOXICATING!" Gerald said, his eyes wider than saucers.

"I did?" Arnold asked, chuckling nervously.

"Yes, you did! Would you kindly explain why?"

Arnold rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"To tell you the truth Gerald, I don't even know."

"But it must mean something...I mean, you just threw that in with all the insults you were throwing!"

"I...it's just that...our fights are intoxicating...they're just...exhilarating and I just LOVE having someone to take my anger out on. I love seeing the fire in Helga's eyes when she's fighting with me, when she's so happy It makes my blood boil and it's just so...confusing."

Gerald shook his head at his friend. "Mmmmmm-mmmmmm-mmmmmm, if I didn't know any better...I'd day that you were crushin' on Helga Pataki."

And for once durring this whole time Arnold thought deeply.

"I love her happiness... I love my aggressiveness towards her...especially after the dance...after the tango..."

And Arnold and Gerald exchanged worried looks.

"I'm slightly afraid to admit it...but Gerald...you're right. I think that I might...like...Helga." Arnold said.

And with that, everything went dark for Gerald.

Sorry for that but I've gotta get it out of my system. Hope you liked it! (This takes place after the movie and the April Fool's Day ep., kinda approaching the Jungle Movie... sadly that was never made).

Peace, Love, and Pink Ribbons to all!
