Chapter 8

Arnold POV
I wake up happy from the night before because Helga is still sleeping. She is so adorable when she sleeps on my chest. I am so happy that finally with Helga. The only weird thing is that she is right down stairs if I want to see her. I think I am going to take her out tonight. I lay in bed thinking about what I could do today with her. I see that Helga is starting to wake up. She looks up at me and smiles.

"Morning! What are you looking at?"

"Morning beautiful!"

She looks at me she and blushes. I ran my fingers through her hair.

"How about I treat you to a day out?"

"Arnold that sounds fun!"

"So lets get dressed and go out on a second date. You deserve it well after what hell you were put through."

"All right let me go shower and get dressed." She got up to get ready and so did I.

Helga POV
When I get to my room I look around and I am so happy it. I go to my dresser and grab the locket. For the first time I wear it not under my shirt but where everyone can see it.

"I can not believe that I have you all to myself. I have always dreamt this would happen. I just hope Lila will stay away. Why would she want you back after what she did to you?"

I quickly put on a pair of black Capri's with pink flames on the bottom. I have pick scarf belt at my waist. A pink tang top with a white short sleeve shirt. And of course pink flats. I pull my hair into a ponytail with a bit of hair dangling in front of my ears. I put on some earrings and other jewelry that matches to complete the outfit.

I then walk out to meet with Arnold. I walk out and I see him walking down his stairs. Oh my god he looks so hot! He is wear blue jeans, and a greenish blue muscle shirt with a plaid open button up shirt. He has his hair up just as we where kids with his little blue hat and his black tennis shoes.

"Hey Arnold you are looking so nice!"

He looks at me and I see him smile real big and then he blushes, "And you are looking so beautiful. I take it you have a hot date?" he giggled a bit.

"Why yes I do with a prince!" I giggled back at him.

He reached out his hand and I took it. We walked to the front door. We got stopped by his Grandpa.

"Hey you kids going somewhere special?"

"Yes Grandpa I am taking Helga out. We will be back later!" he gave his Grandpa a hug. I think I just saw him slip something in his pocket.

I giggled and we walked out. When we got off the stoop I stopped.

"Hey football head check your pocket!"

"What why…" he pulled out what his Grandpa slipped in there, "oh my god $100 I know I have enough and what is…GRANDPA!"

"Forget it lets go!"

I still can't believe he would give him that.

Normal POV
the two went for a long walk through Tina park. They then went to the Root Beer Palace and got something to eat. Arnold took Helga to the movies and let her pick the movie. He thought she was going to pick a scary movie, but she picked Kiss Me Again. Which he did not care as long as he could hold her.

After two hours they went to Slausens Ice Cream Parlor. When he looked at his watch it was about three-thirty in the afternoon. He did not want this to end so he looked at her.

"You want to go to one more place?"

"Sure my dear Arnold I would not want this to ever end as long as I am with you!"

So he took her skating at Skate Time Roller Skating Rink. He rented skates for the both of them. When they got to the entrance of the rink he held her hand. Then Helga was pushed by another girl, but Arnold caught her before falling. When they looked up they saw that Lila was there. Then all of a sudden Rhonda pulled Lila down.

"Don't touch Arnold or Helga again. She is my friend and I don't want any harm to her. It is not her fault that you are a cheating whore. Now leave or I can have my daddy get your dad fired!" She yelled at the top of her voice. Then she looked at Helga and smiled with thumbs up.

She looked at Arnold, "that should solve that. I just love how everyone is with us. Especially Rhonda!"

"Me too are you all right babe?" he said as he was getting her steady again.

"In your arms I am!"

The skated around till the rink closed at six and headed home to the boarding house. Helga would not let him got at any given point. Well except when either one had to use the restroom. Before getting to the boarding house they grabbed a quick bite to eat and waited to eat.

They got back to Arnolds room he popped a movie in and they ate their food. Before the movie was over they found themselves locking lips. Holding each other close. Arnold was hesitant he wanted to go a lot further. But, he knew it was not the right time for that. So he just left it to the kissing. Neither one cared as long as they where in each others arms all night long. After letting the kissing go on for a while they laid on his bed till they fell asleep holding one another. They never slept sounder in their lives. And of course Helga felt safe in his arms.

Before the fell asleep completely Arnold kissed her forehead and whispered, "I love you my dear Helga!"

And she whispered back, "I love you too my dear sweet prince Arnold."
