Last night had been one for the books after Arnold walked her home, and gave her his phone number. She had walked inside with her usual "I'm home!" before coming in to find her mom making dinner and greet her with a hug before going back to cooking. She walked in and found Big Bob on the couch watching 'Wrestle Mania'. "Bob, you started it without me!" Bob turned to his daughter, Helga expected some dismissive remark, but was stunned to see his face change to a curious look and hear him say "Why are you wearing that? Get yourself some nice clothes girl!" before grabbing his wallet and handing her his credit card. "Uh- Dad? Are you okay?" Helga said holding his credit card, absolutely dumbfounded. Bob didn't respond but continued to focus on the TV.

Helga, feeling a bit traumatized by what had just occurred, got up from the couch and went upstairs to do some online shopping for some new clothes, since her current wardrobe consisted of old, frumpy and work out outfits that no longer fit her correctly. She chose clothes that were more her style, which consisted of women's baseball tee's, sports bra's, bras, tank tops, two new jackets, a few pairs of skinny jeans, plus a pretty swimsuit since it was now summer, but also picked out a nice dress or two she couldn't resist getting incase a certain football head decided to ask her on a date, or something crazy like that- HEY! A girl can dream! Bob hadn't given her a budget, and her total without coupons was $275… Helga began to coupon it down and only chose items from the clearance section and managed to coupon the total down to $125! She decided she had done good and placed the order. She then returned Bob his card and ate dinner with her parents. Bob asked her how much she spent, and when she told him the total he looked angry. Helga flinched before Bob stated annoyed "Helga, I asked you to pick out new clothes, meaning all your current ones go. You should've spent more. You are a Pataki, and Pataki's always look nice, girl!" and handed Helga the card. Helga was pretty sure her jaw had just dislocated itself from her mouth… "Bob, my total without coupons was $275, and I managed to get it down to $125… and you're asking me to spend more of your money?" Bob continued to eat his food "Spend what you want, you're my daughter and my girls only get the best! You and Olga are allowed to have whatever you want! You both make me so proud!" Helga looked at her dad's credit card, and shook her head.

Later that night she had spent a good amount of time last night in front of her bathroom mirror observing the new her. She was, without a doubt, pretty. Rhonda had texted her asking if she and Phoebe wanted to go shopping later that week, and Bob had told her "Go tomorrow with your friends." Before handing her his credit card again for the third time that night. Helga rolled her eyes. She did not feel comfortable taking Bob's money, but at least he was somewhat acting like a dad now. She shot Rhonda a response and Rhonda was more than thrilled Helga was so eager to go shopping so soon. Phoebe wanted new clothes for summer anyways, and was happy to be going along with the rest of the girls from their class that Rhonda had invited.

Helga had to admit she looked really good, and because of how little make up she wore she didn't have any acne. She had been lucky enough to have a straight smile and big blue eyes that coupled with her long blonde hair. Helga realized she was starting to grow in her chest area, and didn't know how comfortable she was with it. She decided bras were a must when the girls went shopping. Helga looked at her slim figure that her current clothes didn't show off, and she never really paid attention to. She decided to raid her closet again for clothes she would need to get tomorrow when shopping. Bra's, sports bras, t-shirts, pants and shorts, swimsuits, shoes and basically everything. She suddenly realized her wardrobe was all Olga's hand-me-downs, and didn't fit her correctly at all. They weren't correctly proportioned with her body. She needed a new closet at this point. She picked up her shoes, which she had been wearing the last two years. They were white when she got them, but they were covered in dirt and falling apart entirely… She was disappointed her dad was only doing this now that she looked pretty, but at least her family somewhat acknowledged her now, even going as far as to call her by her name. She would stay pretty, but not for her parents sake. She was doing this because she liked how she looked. Her eyebrows didn't make her insecure and neither did the rest of her body. She was still tough, and she would show it. She would just have to learn how to be friends with Arnold while doing it. Helga got showered and picked the nicest outfit she could assemble for tomorrow before going to bed.

Rhonda had picked the girls up that morning, eager to have a shopping trip with them all. "Finally, Helga, darling you have come to your senses and became one of the beautiful people!" Rhonda said as they finished picking up the last few girls. They had valet parking and were able to shop as they pleased. They started at Charlotte Russe making their way through Hollister, A&F, American Eagle, Forever 21, Nordstrom, Journey's, Tilly's, Tiffany & Co. for Princess Lloyd, Dillard's, JCP & Sephora before ending their trip at Victoria's Secret. Helga gulped at the beautiful models advertising the clothing. Rhonda grabbed Helga's arm and dragged her in, while Phoebe and Lila pushed Helga inside from behind her. Helga felt like she was in another realm. Was she really supposed to wear this stuff? It was sooo… Sexy? Provocative? Sensual? Not her. Helga turned to make a B-Line before the Sport Section caught her eye… Sports bras, yoga pants, gym bags and so much more… Her eyes lit up as she caught glances of her favorite football team on baseball style shirts and leggings. Helga suddenly began to feel more at ease with the women's lingerie store. She liked Hollister perfumes better but VS had some very beautiful sports items for her. She grabbed the items she wanted, containing pairs of underwear from their current deal, some push up bra's, Sports bras, Leggings, and sleepwear, tried them on and because she spent over $150, she received a $45 PINK gym bag for $15 and a matching free PINK water bottle. Helga was very proud considering everything was on sale. Every store she had been to she shopped in the clearance section, which seemed to have the items she wanted, and if she found something she liked at regular price, she had found a coupon for it online. Helga was so happy for summer sales! The girls went to the valet area and got in the car, and Helga was surprised when Rhonda gave Helga a Tiffany & Co. Bow necklace in pink. Rhonda called it a "Welcome to the club" gift. Helga took the beautiful gift and promised to wear it that evening. The girls got a bite to eat at the Slaucens before going home to get ready for the baseball game. Helga put all her new clothes away and put her old clothes in a large box and tossing it in the back corner of her closet. She was happy to have such nice new clothes. She picked out a white and pink baseball t-shirt sports bra and black PINK yoga pants, with her new black/pink sneakers. She smiled at what she saw in the mirror. Her hair was in a single ponytail with her pink bow, and she was wearing her new necklace from Rhonda.

Helga walked to Gerald Field with pep in her step. She was still tough, but she was now gorgeous on the outside- and her confidence had begun to grow because of it.
