DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN HEY ARNOLD OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. Do any of you guys think I should extend the story more, please review.

Helga's POV

Ughh I feel like I was hit by a truck. I slowly opened my eyes n tried sitting up. The world started to spin around me so I layed back down on my bed. I looked around the room and realized this is not my room, it's….

"Helga, you're up, how are you feeling?" said Arnold. Oh my gosh I am in Arnold's room, lying down on his bed. How did this happen?

"Arnold, how did I get here?"

Arnold started to scratch the back of his neck like he does when he is nervous. And he was blushing. What is he blushing for, what's going on?

"Uhh, you fainted walking home from school and brought you to my house since it was closer. Then my grandma noticed you have a fever. She changed you out of your wet clothes and changed you into my old pajamas I hope its okay". How sweet of him he such I could just kiss him. Nooo Helga old girl you got to control yourself. Thank the boy and leave.

"Oh yeah, it's fine. Thank you but I guess I better get going". I quickly stood up and tried to walk out the door but the room started to spin again.

Arnold caught me quickly

"Helga it looks like your fever is still high. I don't think it's the best idea for you to go back out there like this. Plus your clothes are still trying. Just get back in my bed and rest a bit"

"No I don't want to burden you and your family anymore it's alright. I can take care of myself". I tried to get out of Arnold grip but he gently pushed me back down onto the bed. He put the covers over my feet and tucked me back in.

'I'm sorry Helga, but I'm not giving you a choice. You're not leaving like this and you could never be a burden to me or my family." Since when did Arnold get so bossy, I kind of like it. And why is he doing all of this for me, does he like me? Nahh, it's just how he is. He would do this for anyone.

"Fine, it's not like anybody is waiting for me at home anyways". When I said that I saw a dark look come onto Arnold's face but then it quickly disappeared. That's odd.

"Helga I know you don't feel too well, but can we talk?" It depends on what he wants to talk about. It's probably about school, well hopefully".

"Uhmm sure, what do you want to talk about?"

"Helga why haven't we talked since school started and how come you don't wear your pink bow anymore" Why is he asking all these questions, what does it matter to him.

'It doesn't matter" He started to fist his hands

"Well it matters to me. Do you know how it feels to be ignored by you and not fully know why?"

"You know why I ignored you; you just didn't care enough to fix it. I also stopped wearing the bow for the same reason".

Arnold's POV

She really knows how to make things difficult. I may as well come clean and try to fix things with her.

Sigh.

"Helga, I am sorry for how things went down with the FTI incident. I didn't really know how to handle things and I was so used to believing that you hate me"

She frowned and crossed her arms.

"Oh please Arnold, just be real. The thought of me loving you disgusted you, I get it. I was a horrible bully to you and I am undeserving of you".

She must be crazy if she thinks that.

"No, that was never it. In fact it's not even close". Her eyes widen and she looked at me to see if I was being honest.

"Helga, you could never disgust me. You may make me angry and a little crazy but I could never hate you. You are a wonderful person, how could I not like someone like you".

Helga's POV

Did he just say he likes me? I must be dreaming. I pinched myself, nope that hurt I am awake.

"Helga you are an incredible person. I always thought you were a good person underneath. But when I really thought about it I realized how amazing you are. You helped me so many times without expecting any type of credit for it. You even dressed up in disguise just to be my date without me even knowing."

How does he know that?

"I don't know what you're talking about; you must be getting sick too".

"Nope I am fine, except that it took me so long to realize how important you are too me. You have been a constant in my life without me even knowing. I know things have been rough between us but I want to make it better. "My heart started beating rapidly.

"Do you mean that Arnold?"

"I do. I really like you Helga; I may even be falling for you. You do not know how worried I was when you fainted today; it felt as if the world just stopped. I never felt that way about anyone before". He really means it, my dreams are coming true.

"Helga, will you forgive me? Can we start over and try being together?"

"Ohh Arnold of course I will. Bring it in football head. " I grabbed him in for a hug. As we pulled back I saw him blushing.

"You are so cute I could just kiss you. Oops did I say that out loud." I am getting ahead of myself; don't want to freak him out.

"WelL I we did kiss earlier" He blushed. We did what!?

'What?"

"You were dreaming and you asked me to kiss you so I did but only on the cheek. Maybe when you get better we could try it on the lips. What do you think Cecile?" He smirked. That boy must be really feeling bold. I can't believe it.
