They went to the mall on Saturday. First, Rhonda demanded to shop at Nancy Spumoni's shop, but after the veto's, she ended up giving in. The girls were all chattering like crazy, except for Helga and Phoebe. They mostly watched from the sidelines as they went through racks of the latest dresses. Sheena and Nadine already found dresses, so they stuck around helping out. For Lila, she made a beeline to, Helga and Phoebe looking almost in tears.
"I keep thinking that I should do a more private shopping trip nearer to the prom instead of now." Taking a quick glance around for anyone else, Lila continued to whisper. "I know I'm not showing much, but those dresses right now show more than I care for."
Adjusting her glasses, Phoebe offered a solution. "I know how to sew. Same with, Helga. We could adjust the dress for you just in case."
"That would be ever so helpful, but I fear if I say I need another day of shopping, Rhonda will push a private shopping trip with her." Lila started to play with her hair nervously. "I hate this."
Helga wandered off to speak to a saleslady while, Phoebe continued to talk to, Lila. Coming back, Helga told them that the saleslady informed them to head to their largest private dressing room. It will be large enough to fit all three of them comfortably. Grabbing the dresses she picked out to try, Phoebe and her waited for Lila to finish selecting before they went to the room.
Phoebe already found a blue dress that had spaghetti straps. She found it comfortable and sexy at the same time. Helga almost thought she found a dress, but after one incredible flaw in it, she said that she wasn't a Las Vegas show girl. Lila kept going for the greens and lighter colors, but all of them had one flaw with showing her now noticeable belly. Plopping on the bench, she felt close to crying not even noticing, Helga slipping out of the room.
"My dad said when my mom was pregnant with me she immediately started to show. I'm gonna be so fat by time prom hits." Tears started to flow down her cheeks. "I know I wouldn't be like this if I wasn't still in high school."
Hearing Helga at the door, Phoebe let her back in finding even more dresses in her arms. "Wow, Helga that's a lot."
"Some are for me. Some are for her." Putting them on hooks separately, Helga crouched down in front of, Lila. "Some aren't the color you would normally choose, but they are in a style that will help mask you a bit more. You'll look more like a fairy tale princess, but less so."
Reaching for the first one that caught her eye, Phoebe helped her into the dress. Lila felt nothing but nerves afraid to look into the mirror. Looking up from her bodice, Lila saw the pleased looks from both of her friends.
"Seriously, Lila, look at yourself. Brainy won't help himself around you." Helga stepped away from the mirror.
Lila gasped. It hid the little belly she was sporting perfectly. It was a sage green tulle dress with a ruched bodice and beaded sash. "Helga..." She drifted off as she went to hug her. "It's perfect. I love it."
"And its on sale. Bonus!" Helga informed her.
"You better take it." Phoebe said as she played with the fabric just in case they did have to do anything more with it close to the date.
"I will. Brainy better ravage me."
Helga turned around trying not to show her amusement there as she went to find a dress for herself in the pile she brought in. "If you'll excuse me ladies, I want to find a similiar type of dress to invoke the same feeling from, Arnold."
"Oh Helga. Arnold loves to try to rip your sweats on." Phoebe mentioned casually as she helped Lila out of her dress again.
"Oh I know, but I guess I don't mind having to see, Arnold from going completely mad while in those thoughts." Pausing, Helga lifted a white dress from the mix. "Ummmm, I'm also shopping for another dress too."
Phoebe turned to her best friend slowly. "Are you and Arnold thinking of getting married earlier than expected?"
Slipping in a modest white dress, Helga eyed herself in the mirror waiting for, Lila to catch up. "I can already say no to this dress."
"So that ring on your finger isn't a promise ring, it is the real deal." Lila stated in a daze.
Turning to look at both of them, Helga started to slip into another dress. "Been engaged to him since before Christmas."
"Does his parents know?"
"Yes, Lila, they know. They accept it." Grinning, Helga continued on. "I also officially moved into the same room as him as of this Sunday. His own parents suggested it."
Lila and Phoebe came up to her hugging her. "I'm ever so happy to hear about this. Oh Helga."
"Oh Helga, this is getting to be more amazing for you. I thought you wanted to wait till after college to get married." Phoebe told her.
Removing both friends away from her person and then the dress, Helga started on another dress. "Well we did at first, but we'll have kids after college. Oh and we are attending the same college so we will be getting an apartment together." Seeing how she looked in the dress she was in, Helga turned to both of them. "I found my prom dress. I'll wait another week to search for the other dress."
"Arnold will be tearing that dress off at the end of the night." Phoebe declared.
"He better or I'll be sleeping in another room. I gotta hide this dress so I can enjoy his face when he sees it." Checking herself out some more, Helga finally removed the dress after a few more minutes of looking it over.
Getting home, Helga stowed her dress away before heading up to their room. Stepping inside, Helga went up to him as he sat at the desk researching the campus of the college they were going to, and wrapped her arms around him as she leaned against him. "Hello handsome."
"Hello beauty." Taking her hand, he guided her to sit on his lap. "The apartments are affordable to live in."
"That's good to hear. We need that." Checking out the prices, Helga smiled at how much money they could save. "I told, Pheebs and Lila about us marrying after school is over."
"How did they take it?"
"Well Pheebs is the maid of honor so she is excited. Lila wanted to jump up and down but feared an accident."
Running his hand up her back, Arnold lifted her up in his arms to carry her over to the bed. "So what does your dress look like? Your prom one."
Glad she locked the door, Helga loved how he removed her shirt to begin peppering with kisses. "The color is sexy." Removing his shirt, Helga smirked at the feeling of her bra coming off. "Hmm, you must be eager for something."
"Very." Laying her down on the bed, Arnold stood up to remove his pants. "It would make most guys tired of thinking of you trying on dress after dress for hours, but I'm thinking of how it looks with you removing one to place another on." Helping her with her pants, Arnold then laid on top of her. "I got very turned on."
"I'm glad you did." Shifting, they laid on their sides instead with her leg wrapping around his legs, while one of his legs was between hers. "I want you to."
In heaven with her body pressed against him, Arnold ran his hand up her side. "I've been thinking of one thing I want to try with you. Will you let me? This will be my desert for tonight."
"Whatever you want to do, I know I'll love it. Go ahead, Football Head." Feeling him place her back on back, Helga watched him move slowly down to spread her legs. "Oh." Realization dawned on her before feeling another of the best feelings of her life. So that's how this felt. Helga was in heaven.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was very late at night in the cemetery where a lone figure stood in front a grave. Studying it he had to admit her grave was far better looking than the decrepit ones around here. He knew, Helga did this according to, Olga. He didn't know how he felt about it though. He just knew he would know how he felt if, Olga did it instead. Not the girl.
The girl he had been watching from various distances. The girl he noticed was with the orphan boy. It sickened him that she lowered herself to be with him. She always did things to spite him. She never wanted to please him. At least Olga did.
He hated how the girl acted towards, Olga. When Olga came to him crying about what she said, he was pissed. Wanted to finish what he originally wanted to do with her. He hated that fancy lawyer for interrupting him. Hated those cops. Hated that judge for unjustly putting him away when he had all the right in the world to punish her. She sickened him.
"I wish we had her aborted, Miriam." He had choice things to say to his dead wife, but felt she was already 6 feet under so who cares? "The only winner we had is busy conducting business elsewhere. The empire will be built again on the girls dead ashes."
An evil smirk played up on his face before kicking some dirt. Knowing he couldn't stay there long, Bob kept moving around to remain ever moving away from the cops detection.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She was starting to get really sickened. Watching him leave the bed with a grunt and another sound that made her stomach turn, she contemplated leaving the bedroom, and house. No, she couldn't without making someone extremely unhappy. Hearing the flush and him saying he needs to head downstairs for business, she started to get up so she can use the bathroom. She wanted to vomit. Wanted to take a scolding hot shower, but knew this pissed him off.
Hearing a couple of voices, she softly padded her way over to the where the stairs were. Stopping to keep herself hidden, she heard both of them clearly. Heard their plans. Stifling a shocked gasp behind her hands, she went back to the bedroom to wait for his return. It wasn't time to leave the house yet.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Brainy never slept much except on the occasion after sleeping with, Lila. It helped always relieve him, but when he didn't, he walked. The air was hot, but at least the sky was clear. He loved it. Felt another type of peace this way. Was falling in love with another piece of nature whom he hoped was peacefully asleep in her bed. He smiled at the thought of her wearing her braids to bed. It was a sweet image to think about. She was a sweet person too.
Hearing a commotion up ahead, Brainy tore his thoughts of Lila away as he spotted, Helga's old house with cop cars surrounding it. Staying where he was, he spotted a blonde willowy woman standing aside as a slimy individual was hauled out of the house followed by a very large brute of a man. Bob Pataky. Brainy smiled that at least he was caught.
"Olga! How could you betray me? I did everything for you! EVERYTHING!" Bob screamed out as he tried to fight against the ones holding him back.
"I'm sorry daddy, but you did bad things. Helga was right." Olga's voice was lesser than him, but the whiney quality of her voice carried.
Brainy picked up his cell phone to text the one person who will appreciate this information the most.
Helga cursed herself for leaving her phone on when her ringtone went off. Patting, Arnold to relax him, Helga reached over to glance at the text. She was stunned to the point of her sitting up in bed and exclaiming in a hushed tone. Arnold though, sat up curious as he read the message from, Brainy.
Your father is caught. Saw him being hauled away. Your sister turned him in. I hope this news makes you be at ease. Good morning to you both. - Brainy.
Her sister did good for once. She was stunned beyond belief.
Olga did good finally. Isn't that just ironic for Bob? lol
