(Wellington-Lloyd's House)
The main door was opened and Nadine, along with the rest of Rhonda's friends, went inside the house. Once there, the kids started to look around for her, with Harold being the only one to wonder "Wait a minute, why are we looking for Rhonda?" asked Harold.
"Ever since Rhonda found the document, she's so afraid to accidentally reveal the information inside it that it got to the point she doesn't want to meet anybody face-to-face." explained Nadine in a worried tone. "I need you to help me find her so I can see if she's doing okay or not."
"And once we find her, we all will beat some sense into her, right?" asked Helga, looking under the couch.
"No, this is something only I and Rhonda know about, and I want to keep it this way." replied Nadine. The dark-skinned blonde then got an idea and turned to see the stairs leading to upstairs. "You keep looking for her over here, I'm gonna see if she's upstairs."
The girl went upstairs and left the kids alone, with Helga being the only one to actually complain.
(Hallway to Rhonda's Room)
Walking and looking around the hallway, Nadine constantly shouted Rhonda's name in hope for a response. "Is that you Nadine?" heard the dark-skinned blonde from Rhonda's door, running towards it and knocking the door to see if she got another response.
"Is that, really you?" asked Rhonda from inside her room.
"Oh thank goodness you're okay." said Nadine in an excited tone, trying to open the door but unfruitful failing. "Umm Rhonda, why is your door closed?"
"I need you to tell me the next first: What are you doing here?"
"I came here with the rest of our classmates, or at least a few of them, to go search for-"
"You gotta get them out as fast as you can!"
"Why?"
"Because the closer they are to this place, the more likely I will show what is in the document to them!" replied Rhonda in a panicked tone. "I might probably become the laughingstock of the school!"
"Rhonda that's ridiculous," remarked Nadine. "and by the way, what are you doing inside your room?"
"I'm staying here until I can find a way to keep the horrible secret inside the document a secret that neither you or me will ever tell." explained Rhonda, Nadine rolling her eyes in response. "And this is the only idea I got so far. Could you please, just tell the guys to leave?"
"Oh there you are Nadine." said Gerald, who was with the other classmates as they walked to the girl. "We searched everywhere downstairs but we couldn't find Rhonda."
"Have you find her?" asked Arnold.
"Rhonda is inside her room, and I talked a bit with her already." answered Nadine, turning to her classmates.
"Great, so?" said Stinky.
"Sorry guys, but Rhonda wants to be alone for a while." told Nadine to the kids. "So let's all go home and try to forget this happened, okay?"
"What?! We spent minutes having to search for her downstairs, and you just tell us to go back home like nothing happened?" asked Helga, earning a nod from Nadine in response. "Tough luck, I didn't come here for nothing. What is
"I can't tell you guys anything." replied Nadine.
"Well, then answers us why did she thought I and Stinky put some information in there as a prank." said Sid.
"Stinky and Sid, you both are the worst kids on the classrooms, mostly you though." replied Nadine, putting her hands on her hips. "Of course you would have the audacity to do something as horrible as put fake information in a family document."
"But if you don't have any proof that they did it or we don't know what topic you are talking about that bothers Rhonda so much, we cannot know if they made the information as prank." replied Phoebe, adjusting her glasses as she said so.
After hearing that, Nadine got a worried look as she realized Phoebe was right. "In fact, considering the security around the Wellington Lloyd's mansion and their own handwriting, Sid and Stinky would have to be ninjas or perfect writing mimickers to barely be able to put information in the document that didn't look off."
"In words that are a bit easier to understand, if you don't tell us the information in the document, we can't believe Rhonda's story that Sid and Stinky did it." added Gerald. "So what are you gonna do, Nadine?"
Looking at all the classmates around, Nadine crossed her arms, gave them a stern look and said "...I'm not telling you anything." in a serious tone.
"Then we'll have to beat the information out of you!" exclaimed Harold in an exasperated tone.
Harold and grabbed and lifted Nadine, getting ready to hit her. With Rhonda hearing everything from her room, her eyes started to water with tears as she heard her classmates try to stop Harold, who really was serious when he said he was gonna beat the information out of Nadine. So, not wanting to hear this go on any longer...
"STOP IT ALREADY!"
Rhonda slammed the door opened, startling and getting everyone's attention. "If you wanna know what happened, then It's me you're supposed to be bothering." before continuing, Rhonda wiped off her tears and put on an angry look on her face, giving her classmates a glare in the process. "And. Not. Nadine."
Harold released Nadine and joined the rest as they watched the rich girl. "Okay then, tell us." replied Harold, crossing his arms. "What's wrong?"
With the sudden realization of what she got herself into, Rhonda knew she had to make a choice: Tell her teammates what was in the document and probably made fun of for the rest of her life, or not tell them and go back to her room, leaving her teammates rather angry and demand that she told them.
So of course she chose the former, it was the most logical sounding anyway. "I...I..." stuttered Rhonda, sounding like she was at the brink of tears.
"You're what?" asked Harold.
The girl fell down on the floor after hearing the question, with everybody running to her to see if she was okay. "...I'm a product of incest." stated Rhonda, tears rolling down her cheeks as she said it.
The statement left everybody in the room shocked, with their shocked looks remaining frozen on their faces as Rhonda got up, covering her face as she went back to her room to cry, with Nadine soon following.
After a while and some thinking, everybody just...left.
They didn't try to go in the room and do something, they just went downstairs and left the room. For most of them this was something normal, seeing the issue was a bit big for them, but if Arnold was among them-and he is-then something clearly wrong was happening.
"Football head, where are you going?" asked Helga, seeing Arnold leave with the rest.
"Rhonda was right, this IS something too big for me." stated Arnold, pearcing right through Helga's heart. Was she hearing stuff or did those words actually come out of his mouth? "It's better if we leave poor Rhonda alone, unless any of us knowns anybody who can help with these kind of issues."
Arnold followed Gerald out of the mansion, with Phoebe following them. However, she stopped when she saw Helga wasn't moving, but looking at a phone. The blonde girl suddenly noticed and turning around, she told Phoebe the next: "Oh you go ahead Phoebe, I'm going to follow you a bit later." briefly before turning back to the phone.
"...I know someone who can help." said Helga, narrowing her eyes as she grabbed the phone.
