Chapter 10
Gerald woke up to see a sleeping Phoebe laying on his arm. Smiling at the thought of what they did last night pleased Gerald, giving a kiss to Phoebes forehead he wiggled out of Phoebes grasp. Landing his feet on the floor to the trailer Gerald let his forearms hang from his legs. Taking a moment he stood up to stretch and yawn, shuffling along the side of the bed he opened the door. Letting the door swing he looked up with his hand on his left eye and the other one open to see a pair of hands holding in the middle of the small hallway.
"What in the world..." Gerald came closer to the hands to see that the hands belong to Arnold and Helga. A little taken back with his best friend holding hands with his bully Gerald also smiled at them.'Man they sleep together in the hotel and now their holding hands in my trailer. Ummm hmmm they sure got it bad.'
Gerald looked at the small microwave that was placed in the wall. "Oh my god! It's like 12pm!" Arnold and Helga perked up from their bed as if a volcano broke out.
"Crimany Geraldo! What's with all the noise?" Helga hated to be waken up even if it was in the afternoon.
"Yeah Gerald what's up!" Arnold was also quite cranky because of Helga's whining last night.
"Yo love birds we gotta get some breakfast and go! If we wanna get there to make something to eat for dinner then we gotta go now!"
Hour and a half later...
"Man I can't believe it took you guys that long to get ready." Gerald was not pleased to be leaving at 1:30, but he was happy to be on the road finally.
"Sorry Gerald.. It's hard getting up in the morning. Besides we are on the road now right, now we will be there around 8ish if we don't stop and eat lunch." Arnold rubbed his tummy. " It's a good thing we ate breakfast before we hit the Road... Hey! We had a brunch!" Arnold seemed pretty happy with this fact.
"Arnold why do you always look on the bright side? It's just sooo... "
"Annoying?" Arnold asked reading Helga's mind.
"No more like... Out spoken."
"We'll Gerald somebody had to."
Doing their hand shake while Phoebe and Helga sat in the backseat together.
"We should play a game." Helga blurted out of no where. "It will give us something to do while we are driving right?" Every body agree to this game Helga had in mind, Arnold was kinda nervous to play.
"Okay Helga what game do you want to play?" Arnold turned back to look at Helga like he really wanted to play.
"Hmmm.. Does everybody have a drink? Like a water or Pepsi?" Everybody looked down at the cup holders. Looking back at Helga they all nodded. "Good... Well I would like to play never have I ever." Every body smiled at one another, thinking of ideas that would get everybody playing. "Since I picked the game I get to choose the first question okay? However is done their drink first loses."
"What does the winner get when they win Helga?" Phoebe was curious about the prize.
"Okay whoever wins gets to pick what he or she wants to eat tonight. The loser has to go for a dip in the river by our camp site."
"Helga... How do you know that there's a river by our camp site?" Arnold asked looking suspicious.
"Just a lucky guess if there isn't one then they have to stick there head in the outhouse toilet. So let's be hoping for a river."
Everybody looked at Helga like she was mad, but they shrugged it off and agreed.
"Okay then lets begin. Never have I ever... Died my hair..." No body drank.
"That was pretty lame Helga." Gerald snickered as he drove.
"Then you go Gerald."
"Okay. Never have I ever tanned." Only Helga and Arnold drank, looking at each other remembering that time they where at the summer house together. "Okay Arnold you go"
"Well okay... Hmmm... Never have I ever... Sneaked in a persons house before." Helga looked around to see if anybody drank but sadly she was the only one. Raising an eyebrow they wondered.
"Your turn Phoebe."
"Well never have I ever... Had a crush at PS 118." phoebe gave a smile, Gerald looked crushed but he drank, after his sip he looked at Arnold. Arnold gave a small sip as well, they all looked at Helga. She nervously looked at everybody, gave a blush and drank a small portion of her soda. Gerald's eyes went big, so did Arnold's. not thinking it's new Phoebe just giggled at at her.
"What? I have crushes to you know... I'm not just a evil person that don't have crushes..."
"WHO!?" Yelled Gerald and Arnold at the same time,Helga swallowed a huge lump and perked up in her seat.
"It's not 20 questions you guys, so can you drop it? It was a long time ago... Hehehe who remembers that stuff anyways." Arnold looked back at the front of the jeep and glared a little bit while looking forward.
"Sooo I'm guess you guys don't want to play anymore? Hehehehe..." Helga relaxed a bit thinking nobody wanted to play.
"No lets continue. Helga it's your turn." Arnold didn't look at Helga when he talked to her. Thinking that this maybe make him more talkative she asked the big question that she would probably regret.
"Never have I ever had sex." The jeep was quite for a few seconds before Gerald smiled huge and took a huge gulp of water, Phoebe blushed and took a sip of her water as well. Arnold didn't take a drink at all but instead had a smile on his face.
"Helga that was dirty!" Phoebe looked at Helga and was not happy.
"Hey Phoebe that how it goes in the game. Hehe you should have expected it." A huge relief lifted Helga's chest, now she knows Arnold is still a virgin.
"Don't worry babe I will get her back, never have I ever... Lied about being blind." Helga glared at Gerald as she took a small slip out if her soda.
Eying Helga Arnold was excited and scared to ask his question. "Okay my turn you guys, never have I ever been to second base.." The words slipped through Arnold's mouth... Regretting it. Gerald and Phoebe of course took a sip but he didn't care for them. He wanted to see Helga's response, taking a breath in she hung her head and took a small sip.
Arnold couldn't believe his eyes, turning around once again he slumped down.
"I don't want to play anymore..." Arnold turned his head to look at his window.
"Are you sure man? We can play something else?" Gerald looked at Arnold for a reply.
"No Gerald I'm fine."
"Well okay man" for the rest of the ride there nobody said a thing to each other, just listening to music and being awkward. Helga kept looking at Arnold, although he didn't look at her at all. Having his huge headphones in not listening to anyone.
Helga couldn't help but look at Arnold most of the way there. He was ether on his cell phone or looking out the window day dreaming.
'Why is Arnold being like this? I didn't do anything wrong... Did I? What a stupid football head... But yet he is my love god. What is on his mind, and who is he texing! It's driving me mad.' Helga glared down at her phone to see Miles was trying to text her. Helga began to text him back.
"Hey Patki hows the big camping trip going? You and Arnold do anything yet?" Helga could just hear Miles low voice laugh at her. Texting back she wrote.
"No Miles. It was going fine until Arnold started to act like a crybaby. I don't know what the losers problem is."
"Well... Did u sat anything to make him that way?"
"I don't think so... We played never have I ever and I told him I went to second bass and..."
"Wait you told him what we done? Thy was one time! Never again... Well we could do it again if you wanted to. ;) I'm down."
"Shut up Miles that was a one time thing. Anyway... Ever since I told him he has been acting like this, it's pissing me off."
"Hahahahaha!"
"What? Why are you laughing Miles."
"Patki you are so god damn blind. He's jealous! It's so obvious, man don't tell him it was me or where I live. But gtg my breaks over text me later girly."
"Ha yeah right. Talk to you later Miles."
As Helga put away her phone she looked out her window trying to avoid Arnold as much as possible. Also trying to get the thought of Arnold being jealous out of her brain.
'He could never be jealous. It's not like he likes me, likes me anyways, he was just being nice to me yesterday because I got scared by the story.' As Helga wondered off in her own thoughts Arnold looked back at Helga though the rear view mirror, shaking his head to look back at his phone. Feeling a vibration from his phone he sees that Lila texted him.
"Why hello there Arnold." Even on text messaging Lila talks the way she does. Arnold rolled his eyes he responded back.
"Hi Lila."
"Oh Arnold it is ever so good to hear from you again! It's been forever!"
"Yeah... Forever. Look Lila..I don't think we should talk to each other anymore."
"But why Arnold? We can still be friends..."
"Lila you are dating Arnie. Wouldn't he be mad if you where talking to me?" There was a pretty long pause after Arnold sent that message,
Worrying if he said the wrong thing. About to text back he saw that Lila had text him first.
"Arnold, Arnie broke up with me this morning. Your the only one that I want comfort from. Please forgive me for what I did to you back in high school. I was young and stupid, I lost such a good friend. Please Arnold. Give me a second chance."
Arnold pondered for a moment, looking back at Helga to see a frustrated look on her face and a scowl. He smiled a bit while looking at her. Thinking to himself that she was so pretty with that blond locks of hair. Looking back at his phone he breathed, again starting to type on his phone he remembered that Helga has been farther then he has. A huge wind of jealously washed over Arnold, making him mad all over again.
'Who was it... Who could it have been? Someone I know? Thank god she's still a Virgin, that makes me a little relived. I still don't like the thought of Helga with another guy though.' Arnold had tons of questions floating around in his head about Helga. 'I hope she screws up today so I can get some answers.'
Seeing that Lila sent him two extra messages, rolling his eyes again he texted.
"Okay Lila. I will listen to your story, BUT we are only friends. I have someone else I have feelings for so don't try anything on me okay?"
"Deal Arnold."
Arnold put his phone in his pocket and decided to text Lila about her problems later. Looking up from a dirt road and a little blue sign came into view.
"Cadomin? Where are we Gerald? It's like a ghost town..."
"This is the best camping spot in the to Rockies Arnold. It's a little coal mining town... Well it was at a time. We are in Alberta, Canada Cadomin. Ha just an hour away from Jasper."
Arnold looked at Gerald funny but also looking out the window again he saw a few houses, lots of mountains, a little shop, and tons of cabins. The population there isn't more then 50 people. Leaving the small town they entered a pathway with houses on ether side. one side it had little houses and on the other huge houses. Leaving the trail Gerald travels into a pathway of trees. Passing by a huge amount of fire wood and a outhouse for males and females.
Twisting and turning thought the dirt road he also spots some horses and lots of trailers. Turing again he sees a beautiful river that looked like crystals from where they where. Gerald stopped the jeep and started to back up into a small camp ground that was just on the river. As Gerald was backing up he hit a small tree, pulling up again he tried again to pull into the tight space. Yet hitting another tree Arnold finally got out of the car to help him out. Arnold got Gerald to pull into the spot first try, getting out if the jeep Gerald looked at everybody with a huge smile.
"WE'RE HERE!"
