*Pattie's POV*
The gang welcomed me back like the family we were nine years ago.
I did not expect that.
Especially from Harold; I always thought he still had hard feelings because I was tougher than him. Well, I've changed now. I'm more…feminine. I think that's part of the reason I was welcomed mostly by the guys.
I plucked by uni-brow and it seems that Helga did the same. At least now I'll fit in better.
And Rhonda even invited me to a sleepover at her place tonight!
Rhonda! Invited me!
And I thought I was one of the guys.
*Rhonda's POV*
"Alright, Nadine, everything has to be picture perfect! We have to make this the best night Helga's ever had in her entire life!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms out for emphasize.
"I know, I know. I'm just glad she agreed or else we would have to use force!" she made a face as she laid out sleeping bags and pillows. I laughed, knowing that I would and could use force if I had to. I have to help Helga since she helped me. It's just the way it is. Plus, I can't stand not being even with someone.
Then I may end up owing them money or something.
Nadine stood up and gave me one of her pretty smiles, "Rhonda, I think we're ready."
"Great. Let's go get everyone."
*Arnold's POV*
"So, you gonna talk to her, man?" Gerald was driving everyone home and trying to convince me to make up with Helga at the same time.
It wasn't really working.
"I don't know, Gerald. She knows. She knows how I feel about my parents. She shouldn't have brought it up."
"But you should be able to forgive and forget! That's what love is!"
I sighed and looked in the back seat at Curly, Sid, Stinky, Harold, and Eugene. None of them have to deal with this.
"That's just it, man." I replied without thinking.
"That's just what? What do you mean?" He glanced at me.
"I-I don't think I love her." Again, not thinking.
"WHAT!" He slammed on the brake, sending everyone flying forward.
"Shit! Gerald!" Curly yelled from the back.
Gerald turned violently towards me, "OH HELL NO, MAN. I AM NOT GONNA LET YOU LET HER GO."
I backed up, "What the hell, Gerald? You almost got us killed!"
"That's it! You're gonna talk to her TODAY." He shouted, making an illegal U-turn.
Now I understand the phrase 'Love makes you do crazy things'.
"No!" I yelled, "I can't!" I made a grab for the wheel but Eugene grabbed my arms.
"Arnold, you're gonna kill us!" and considering that he's in the car, we'd probably end up dying anyways.
And then all of the sudden, "EVERYONE, STOP NOW."
Gerald, Eugene, and I stopped struggling and turned to look back at Harold, the source of the scream. Stinky stopped wailing and stared also.
"Thanks, Harold." Sid said. "Now, gentlemen, I have an announcement that might just solve our problems."
And knowing Sid, it probably won't.
We all groaned as Sid smiled triumphantly.
"I overheard Rhonda talking to Nadine, my girlfriend, and she said something very…intriguing."
Stinky suddenly yelled out, "She catch a big fish or somethin'?
Sid groaned, "No, Sid. She's planning a sleepover for tonight.
"And you all know what that means."
Kinda short chapter but it's a cliff-hanger! Not a good one since if you're a die-hard Hey Arnold! fan like myself then you already know what a Rhonda sleep-over plus Sid means. And how did you guys like Gerald's little freak out? Haha, hope you guys like it! xoxo
