Burn-a-dark-soul, I'd lend you my insurance card if you are suffering from a heart attack. ;)
LaDawn, get in line, I want to strangle Olga myself too.
Historia70, leave it to you to leave that review about Olga lol
Ludwig's bail was set by his parents. I'm actually unsure if I am mentioning it here or in another chapter. I'm pretty boggled with work right now.
Wandering past, Rhonda's locker before heading to lunch Arnold leaned in to whisper, "So is Curly off taming the lions right now?"
Rhonda laughed breathlessly as she turned to walk beside, Arnold and Helga. "No but you know how he goes on the run after these endeavors. He has been pretty successful so far in not getting caught so why he runs, I have barely a clue."
"You know how weird it is to see a giraffe standing in the alleyway of the boarding house?" Helga asked. "I'm not complaining about what he did but I could deal without the thought of possibly running into tigers and lions."
"Oh I know what you mean seeing that I woke up with a cheetah in the garden. It was shocking to say the least." Rhonda replied.
Arnold was laughing. "Grandma put her safari gear on and was already out the door the very moment a tiger ran by. I know I should be worried, but I've seen her do some much larger things that would make, Curly look like he was just playing with an Etch a Sketch."
Both Rhonda and Helga laughed at the comparison both agreeing that his Grandma has done some head scratching incredible moments.
Nadine was heading up to them. "Iggy asked me out." You would think she'd be excited, but she appeared more scared.
"You are acting like this is a horrible thing, Nadine." Rhonda pointed out in confusion.
"Yeah. Did he ask you out while holding an active grenade?" Helga asked a bit sarcastically.
"Well..." Nadine started to mumble out something when Arnold decided to speak.
"Please don't tell me he's going to ask you to wear bunny pajama's and make you do a walk in front of everyone." Arnold groaned out dispassionately causing, Helga to snap her head in his direction.
"What?" Helga almost screamed out.
Rhonda suppressed her smile while, Nadine said no. "No, but since you are still holding a grudge there I was just nervous about accepting."
"Arnold?"
Hearing Helga's questioning voice, Arnold put his head in the air. "Nadine you don't need my permission. I trust your judgement always."
"But you still don't appear happy." Nadine's, forehead was wrinkled with concern.
Smiling down to her in comfort, Arnold knew he had to let some things go. "I'm fine and I really need to let that go. Please enjoy yourself."
"Thanks Arnold." Grabbing Rhonda's hand, she escorted her away.
Getting in front of him, Helga placed her hands on his chest. "Please tell me what happened between you and Iggy."
"Just some huge humiliation that involved bunny pajamas."
Cocking her eyebrow up, Helga wasn't about to let him slide. "Seriously tell me. If it will help, I'll put bunny pj's on and hop around in front of you, before taking it off."
Arnold felt heated in more ways than one, visualizing her hopping around before disrobing. Mostly at disrobing. "I know I'd want to see that."
"I'm sure you do." Grabbing him by his collar she gave him a quick kiss. "Now tell me."
"Ugh fine, but I still wouldn't mind seeing you in bunny pajama's." Sucking in a deep breath, Arnold told her about everything, happy she didn't laugh at all as he relayed all the details. When he was done, he just waited to hear from her.
"Pretty long time to hold a grudge, Football Head. You were 9." Seeing at unhappy he was looking, she pulled him down for another kiss. "I'll give you a present later." With a wink, she turned around to swish her hips in a tantalizing way that made, Arnold look deeply lovesick.
During lunch, Helga wanted to get a bit of writing in so she sat in her usual spot almost finished when Brainy came up to her from the front instead of sneaking up. Examining his face, Helga determined he really wanted to talk so she indicated for him to sit down next to her.
At the same time as, Arnold exited the building after using the restroom, he was approached by Lila. "Hey Lila. You alright?"
Shaking her head, Lila looked down. "No Arnold I'm ever so not alright and I need to talk to someone."
Walking away from the entrance, Arnold stood there to speak to her. "What's the matter?"
"Oh Arnold, I'm in trouble. I'm in ever so much trouble and I don't know what to do. I don't know what people will say. I almost went to talk to Helga or Phoebe about this, but I figured to come to you first." She felt so flush and almost went to throw up.
"Well, Lila whatever it could be, I'm certain it really isn't that bad. Just tell me and I'll try to help." Arnold told her soothingly.
"Oh really?!" Lila never raised her voice so this took Arnold back. "I'm pregnant, Arnold." Covering her face up, she started to cry. "Oh maybe I should of told the girls."
"Lila, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Is it Stinky's?"
She shook her head. "No." She sniffled. "Brainy's."
Alright that shocked him. "When and why? I hold no ill will towards, Brainy, but I didn't know you were interested in him. No one did."
"After the slumber party, Brainy saw me standing outside my home, and asked me to walk with him because he saw me sad. Well on the walk I found him ever so interesting. He barely talks, but when he does he is quite deep. I did give him a kiss much later on when he told me he never kissed a girl so I did. Well I developed a crush, and even though he wasn't interested in me, but someone else who was not available."
Arnold knew she was referring to Helga. "How far along are you, Lila?"
Thinking about it, Lila made a humming sound. "I went to his place without his invitation, and let me come in, and we were watching something. Anyhow, I can't help but think of him as attractive and so forth so I kissed him. One thing led to another, and I must admit it felt good, but now here I am. I'm a month along now."
"Does Brainy know?"
Lila nodded her head. "I told him sunday and I have no idea what I want to do now."
Arnold had no clue what to tell her. He just stayed quiet letting her speak.
Helga's mouth dropped. "Did you just tell me what I just thought you said?"
Brainy nodded his head. "Yes, and I know she isn't lying about it."
"I'd say." Helga had to be less shocked right now so she can try to talk, but she was drawing a blank. "So do you guys have a plan?"
"No, and I almost talked to, Arnold about this, but I thought to come to you instead." Brainy looked at those wide blue eyes wishing she was having his child, because he would automatically want to marry her, and raise that baby together. He must of liked, Lila more than he originally thought to have sex with her, but he was nothing but a mass of confusion inside his head.
I bet Lila is speaking to you because I have Brainy here with me. - H
Yes and I'm dumbfounded right now. - A
We could have them over so we can all talk about it without risking our peers from hearing this. Especially Stinky. - H
Great suggestion and also thanks for putting my brain inside my skull. - A
No problem. Ask her over and I'll do the same. - H
Sure thing. - A
Putting her phone down she thought how much better it was to remain mostly celibate. "After school, you are coming over to the boarding house so we all can speak. All four of us. Got it?"
"Uh yes, Helga." Brainy blushed.
Not wishing to question the blush, Helga stood up so she can have some alone time with her Football Head.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After school, Lila and Brainy, were sitting on the couch in uncomfortable silence while, Helga and Arnold sat on the ground across from them.
"We won't let our friends know about this since it is your secret to tell." Helga informed them both.
"Thank you ever so much, Helga and Arnold for doing that." Lila kept her eyes focused on her hands in her lap. "I'm also sorry again, Brainy."
Brainy finally looked at her. "Lila, we made this decision to consummate that night so stop apologizing. I know we wished to have protection, but we both weren't exactly thinking when we both were hormone driven."
Lila blushed. "I was very comfortable with you and when I kissed you it felt right to me. I know you have feelings for someone else, and I know you would of made up your mind more quicker if it was her involved."
Brainy thought of her as perceptive, but mostly it didn't come as any surprise to anyone in the group on how he felt about, Helga. "It doesn't make you any less." He told her honestly.
Helga and Arnold were thinking to themselves that at least they were talking, but one of them would have to speak so Arnold chose to speak this time. "Did you get this checked out with a doctor, Lila?"
"That's embarrassing." Lila squirmed in her seat. "I'm afraid of my father finding out. I know he will eventually, but I still don't know what to think."
"Couldn't your mom help out there?" Helga wondered as she looked at Arnold.
"I think she could, and I know she'll be discreet about it." Arnold said, as he thought about the sex talk once again accompanied by loads of condoms.
"I would appreciate it, Arnold, but I don't know what I'll do. I'm not sure if I want to keep it or give it away for adoption." LIla started to rub her hands together on her lap when, Brainy's hand laid out on top of hers.
"I know it's a huge responsibility with you taking a lot of the heat because you'll be carrying our child." Brainy paused as he had been considering this. "If you decide to keep it I'm helping out. I want to."
"Thank you, Brainy I appreciate it. It does help with my decision." Looking at Arnold, she smiled. "Could you let your mom know."
"Certainly Lila." Arnold said, knowing it will be after this conversation ended.
Standing up, Lila smiled down at their friends. "Thank you ever so much to the both of you. I should be off. Have a pleasant night."
"I'll walk you home." Brainy told her as he waved at the pair. "Uh... Night."
Helga flopped to the ground more after they left. "Yeah no sex for us both right now since you see what happens to teenage brains."
"I agree, Helga." Standing up, Arnold decided to go and speak to his mom right now instead of later.
Reaching Lila's house, she noticed her father wasn't home and remembered he was out working late. "Well thank you, Brainy for walking me."
"Your father isn't home." Brainy observed.
"Yes. Working late." Sighing she decided to ask, "Would you care to come inside to keep me company? I hate when I'm alone in there. I hate the creaking of the floor boards."
Nodding his head he let her lead the way in. Lila was a pretty girl, and it was bad of him that night to imagine her being, Helga instead, but when she portrayed this dominate side of her when she switched positions he had to admit it was a complete turn on.
"You alright?" Lila asked in concern.
"You turned me on when you took charge when we were in bed." He admitted to her in hopes to make her feel a bit better about herself.
"Really? I thought I looked easy, and I felt ashamed thinking how illy you might of thought of me now." Lila truthfully told him. "Want to know the truth?"
"I would."
"While I was ashamed of what you might of thought of me, I didn't regret being with you." Blushing, she looked down to her feet unaware of him approaching. "I know you love Helga but..." Her head pulls back up startled that he was so close to her.
"I won't lie about her being this dream that I know I can't have. I'm happy she's happy and I'm content in that fact." Seeing her eyes for the first time, Brainy blushed. The only other girl he ever blushed for was ,Helga and now he was here blushing for, Lila. "Want to go on a date some time? I'm liking you more as each day passes."
Leaning over to kiss his chin, Lila smiled. "Why certainly, Brainy."
"Can I kiss you now?"
She nodded to his question. Smiling, he brought her closer against him as he planted a soft kiss on her lips. Feeling her arms go around him, Brainy increased the kiss happily enough. The baby at this time for them wasn't ideal, but he wasn't arguing with the kiss he was receiving back. It certainly wasn't boring.
The mystery pair has been revealed. Any thoughts on that?
