Chapter 14

Helga woke up a little after 2am, feeling very uncomfortable with the way she was laying. Trying to move around and squirming she felt a weight around her waist. Not wanting to open her eyes she felt around the spot with her hands.

"What in the name of hell is pulling me down?" Helga finally felt a thick log that tightly held her small waist. Following down the log of a weight she came across a flat surface. Sliding her fingers down Arnold's hand she felt the openings between his fingers.

Helga's eyes flied open! Lifting her head up she tried to see what was going on, by this time she felt breathing on her neck. Turning her head slightly she saw a sleeping Arnold holding on to her small body for dear life.

'What the hell is going on...I don't remember Arnold cozying up to me... This is like a dream! My Arnold is cuddling up to me like I was his girlfriend... Ahhhhh! He is so cute sleeping! I don't want to ever leave his side... But I really have to pee.' Helga gently lifted his arm that was placed so proactively over her just enough to wiggle away from his grasp. Once freed she she slowly moved her legs over top of Arnold to make it look like a deranged straddle. Once the other leg was over Arnold's body she carefully unzipped the tent. Making it outside she Squatted under a tree to do her business.

Helga made her way back to the tent just in time to see a shaking Arnold, cold out of his mind. Helga gave a small giggle, making her way back into the tent. Doing the same Procedure that she did the first time to craw on top of Arnold she Successfully made it back to her spot. Taking some of the blankets that were underneath her she dropped them in top of Arnold.

'There. Now he shouldn't be cold for the rest of the night, but damn I'm sure gonna miss cuddling with him.' Helga made her own way under the covers facing the opposite way from Arnold. Ready to go back to sleep she felt Arnold's arm wrap around her tightly once again. Shocked she turned to face Arnold, his green eyes a little open he murmured.

"Thanks Helga." Pulling Helga closer to him for more warmth she was surprised. Relaxing she turned her whole body to face her football headed love god.

"No problem football head." Tucking her head under his chin she started to close her eyes enjoying Arnold's warmth.

"You owe me an answer ms Pataki." Arnold put his face in Helga's blond hair, Helga just smiled and replied.

"Okay just for you though Arnold" just as Helga said the last sentence they both wondered off to sleep.

The next morning Phoebe was the first to waken, turning over her body to see Gerald past out. His mouth was wide open with his arms spread out on the bed. Phoebe only had a limited sleeping space because of Gerald. Smiling at her half naked boyfriend she looked at the small Digital clock that sat on her night table. Showing that it was only 9:34 she debated with herself.

'... Hmm. Should I go back to sleep with Gerald or should I give him a waking up surprise...we can make breakfast and have a bit of time together before we go with our friends.' Phoebe liked the idea of waking up her boyfriend.

Closing in close to his face she started to kiss his cheeks lightly, then slowly going down to his chin. Gerald giggled a bit in his sleep knowing he was ticklish there. Phoebe stopped to see if her Gerald was wake but no such luck. Moving up again to his chin she moved around his lips trying to advoide them, making it to his button nose she kissed the tip of it. Moving to the indent to his eyebrows. Her lips crawling to the top of his forehead she planted kisses all around it, with lots of force. Her head moved up as she herd Gerald's soft giggles coming from him but still didn't wake up. Getting annoyed Phoebe planted a big kiss on Gerald's lips, opening her eyes she saw Gerald started right back at her with a smile formed on his lips.

Putting his arms around her waist he pushed her small body hard against his. Making the kiss more passionate he closed his eyes once more, Phoebe did the same. Gerald flung Phoebe to the side of the bed making it so Gerald fell on top of her.

"Good morning to you too sunshine." Gerald laughed as he hovered over Phoebes small body kissing her small neck Phoebe moaned in pleasure. Her small hands placed on Gerald's toned body she pushed away.

"Now Gerald we did it twice last night, what are you trying to Achieve?Making a baby?" Phoebe smiled sweetly.

"Well maybe I am? What's the harm done in that Phoebe? We have our own house and we are getting married soon."Gerald continued to kiss his girlfriends neck as he began to slide his hand into the white tank top that Phoebe was wearing with her light blue pajama pants. Getting closer to Phoebes breast she moved his hand away.

"Gerald the two of them are going to be up right away. We need to be ready for the big day with our friends." Phoebe wiggled her way out of Gerald's body cage. As she did though the Beige colored sheet, tripping over one while walking out if the room.

"Man phoebe. I had a hard on for you and everything." Gerald's rolled over on his back and whined. Phoebe smiled at her boyfriend, walking out of the room she herd him say.

"Next time phoebe... Next time I will get you." Phoebe giggled and walked into the small dinning room area. Walking toward the coffee pot she made the coffee. Waiting Patiently for the coffee to make she settled down on the couch and started to read her book.

A couple minutes past by and the ringer on the machine started to beep, also at this time Gerald came out of the bed room awake now then ever. Giggling Phoebe asked.

"So I'm guessing it went well for you?" Looking back down at her black coffee.

"Yes, yes..." Gerald tossed a shirt on and headed outside to take a piss. Phoebe walked back to the small couch, putting her feet up and with her coffee she started to read again. Seeing Gerald walk up to the tent she got worried that he was going to wake them up and started to get off the couch. Looking up again Gerald had a huge grin on his face and started to run back to the trailer.
Storming in he smiled huge at phoebe.

"You are not going to believe what I just saw in that love shack phoebe! They where cuddling with each other! Like full on cuddle! Like what we do! Our plan is working!" Phoebe saw Gerald get all gitty over such a small thing made her gitty as well.

"Oh my... I be you anything that they will be together by the end of tomorrow night." Going back to the blue couch Phoebe sat down. Gerald looked back at her, smiling he sat beside her and peeked over the her shoulder to see what she was reading.

"Phoebe again with the Shayla Black books? Your obsessed women!"

"There very good Gerald you should give them a try."

"Nah I'm okay babe. I like to have sex not read about it."

"That's just what I need to wake me up in the morning Geraldo. " Helga walked into the trailer rubbing her eyes and wearing the same old white tank top with sweat pants on. Behind her was Arnold flashing them a simple smile.

"You two talk about... "Doing it" this early in the morning? I guess phoebe does have a cup of coffee in her hands... Where might I get one?"Arnold sniffed the air in the trailer, looking around for his coffee. Phoebe looked at him and pointed by the counter that was beside her. Arnold nodded and walked to his picker upper. Helga the other hand couldn't stand coffee, walking to the dinning table of the trailer.

"So you guys, what do we have planned today? I really need to get out since bucko over here poisoned me the other night." Helga glared at Gerald, cowering Gerald managed to spit out a sorry.

"Okay Helga, me and Gerald where planning a day with the same gender, meaning its going to be a girls day for us." Helga eyes went big, she had totally forgotten about the girls day thing after last night.

'I just wanted to spend the day with Arnold... He was so nice last night and sweet, this morning was a little awkward... What the hay! I can tell Phoebe the full details about me and Arnold, I guess it will be fun.' Giving Phoebe a smile she spoke out loud.

"Okay Phebes. What do you want to do or go?"

"We will decided that after breakfast which we should eat! In starving." The friends headed outside, leaving Phoebe alone in the trailer with her book.

-

The gang finished up with their bacon and egg breakfast and started to get ready for the big day that was ahead of them. Gerald wanted to check out the old coal mine and Phoebe decided to go to the grave yard. Just about ready to go Phoebe and Gerald exchanged kisses and hugs while Arnold and Helga stood there quietly. Arnold grabbed on to Helga hand to say.

"Are you sure your okay? Not feeling sick or anything are you? We don't have to go..." Helga took on a shocked expression but then her face turned soft. Holding onto his hand she turned to face him.

"I'm fine Arnold. Really. If your that worried about me I will give you my number." Helga took out her phone from her pocket to slide it unlocked, just to find out that Miles had texed her a million times. Helga made an annoyed voice, noticing Arnold eyebrows went up.

"What's the matter?" Looking up she saw that Arnold was Interested to what Helga was Irritated about.

Thinking back to the jeep Helga thought about the game they played, Arnold was not happy because of something she said...

'Maybe he was jealous...maybe it was because I've been farther then him, I really don't want to screw up Again.'

"It's nobody...hahaha.. Just my mom checking up on me to see if I was okay..." Helga slapped her face in her mind. 'Good job on not screwing it up Helga.

"Oh... Well that was nice of her, are you still going to give me your number?" Arnold had hope in his eyes until Gerald yelled at him to get a move on. Helga just laughed while she made her way to Phoebe.

"I will just get your number from Phoebe. If anything goes wrong then she will text you." Running to catch up to Phoebe they went their Separate ways.

-

Helga and Phoebe maybe took 15 minutes away from the boys to ask Helga her first question.

"So Helga how are you and Arnold holding up? Was the tent idea a good one or was it a back fire?" Helga looked back at Phoebe like she was nuts.

"Phoebe what are you trying to so here? I might have liked, liked Arnold back in elementary but it's totally different now." Helga looked ahead to try to brush off her blush.

"Oh come on Helga, you where pretty much trying to suck off his face the other night. I know that you love him, Gerald knows it too. So tell me how it is going in the tent? I know your going to thank me." Helga Glared at her small Asian friend but then gave her a smile.

"It's been great Phoebe, we have never been this close before. I think he might be starting to like me... Or maybe it's wishful thinking." Helga head went low but then perked up again. "Gerald knows I'm in love with Arnold!" Phoebe giggled and looked wickedly at her friend.

"I told you, you still love Arnold. Yes Gerald knows, he known since the 6th grade. Remember the time in 6th grade when your book fell from your desk and Gerald picked it up for you because you didn't realize? He saw the pencil figure of Arnold in there, he ran to tell me and I had to tell him the story about "ice cream"." Helga face fell in disbelief and of horror, Phoebe poked her in a tempt to get her out of her day dream. Breaking out of it she started to breath heavily.

"Gerald known since 6th grade... Why didn't he tell anyone?"

"I told him not too. That wouldn't be right. Now Helga tell me what you and Arnold did in the tent last night" Helga closed her eyes and breathed in and out. She knew Phoebes not going to give up on this

"To be honest with you Phebes we didn't do anything. I had to go to the washroom late last night and found Arnold's arm hugging onto me for warmth. Wiggling out I went to the washroom came back and put a blanket over him. Before I knew it... Arnold's arm was... was over me again..." Phoebe caught on to the blush Helga had on her face.

"That's all that happened, this morning was funny waking up I have to say. I woke up to see Arnold's white t-shirt and felt his breathing on the top of my head, remembering last night I jerked up quickly waking Arnold up. Once he remembered... Ahahaha Phoebe you should have saw his face." Helga looked up at the sky, forming a huge smile on her face. "He blushed so hard Phoebe, it was really cute."

Phoebe couldn't handle but smile for her friend. Looking at her watch she saw that the time had just flown by. Panicking Phoebe grabbed Helga's arm and ran down the small dirt track to the grave yard.

"We don't have much time Helga! We only have 3 hours to walk around and through it then walk back!" Helga rolled her eyes as she started to run behind Phoebe.

-

The men had just reached the coal mine as Helga and Phoebe started to run. Entering the mine the two boys mouths dropped at the sight. The mine had a huge opening, with some beat up coal cars that stood silently beside the mines walls. Looking toward in the mine you saw nothing but darkness, the lights that hung from the walls were dim, the ones that where working of course.

"Wow Arnold this place is huge! Apparently this was the history of the place you know? Hundreds of coal miners died in here from a collapsed ceiling. I beat you anything the ghost walk we are going to take tonight has all the details about this place." Gerald walked farther in the mine to take pictures for Phoebe. Arnold walked along with him, not expecting the question Gerald was about to ask.

"So Arnold my man have you banged Helga yet?" Taken back by this Arnold stepped back and went wide eyed.

"Gerald how can you ask that! You know I'm still a virgin! I'm not ready for that stuff... And with Helga? My bully? My tormenter? My life runnier? My...my..."

"Your lover? Come on Arnold I know you like Helga. I'm not that dense you know, you've liked her since...grade 10 at least." Gerald looked back to see Arnold face beat red.

"Gerald I was dating Lila! I wouldn't like anyone when I'm dating someone else. By the way Helga would never liked me even if I did... Have a thing for her."

"Arnold my man, I remember you so call told me that you wanted Helga to comfort you that nigt in that room. You knew she was there. I also remember you kept staring at her in bio in grade 11. You told me that there was a bee in her hair."

"That's because there was one..."

"Arnold it was the middle of winter." Arnold looked away at Gerald trying to make it seem like he was interested in the wall.

"So? Bees nest can be anywhere..." Gerald but a palm on his face.

"Arnold I saw you two cuddling in the tent, and how you where so proactive of her when she was sick, and how you got all jealous in the car because she's been a little farther then you." Arnold's eyes narrowed.

'That jerk... Whoever it is I will..'

"Arnold? Man you keep spacing. I seem to remember you also taking an interest after the FTI building. By the way you never told me how Helga got there and what took you guys so long to get down." Arnold's eye went down as he was kicking dirt with his feet.

"So? You don't need to know what went on up there..."

"Arnold she kissed you. I know. Phoebe has been my girlfriend for years. Helga tells her everything." Gerald smugly smiled at Arnold, Arnold turned around, knowing he was figured out.

"Fine you got me. I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She told me she loved me up there, I didn't know how to act or feel... I was so confused." Looking at Gerald he Squinted.

"You knew Helga was in love with me didn't you!" Gerald shook his head.

"Nope not me man... Well not until 6th grade when she dropped her book on the floor... Then I knew." Walking deeper into the mine Arnold grabbed his shoulder before he went to far in.

"You mean you knew all this time and didn't tell me!" Arnold was not pleased to hear that Gerald kept this secret from him. "Wait... What did she have in her book?" Gerald's hands went up to his mouth.

"I can't tell you... I promised Phoebe I wouldn't. What I want to know is do you have feeling for her?" Arnold was about to protest but then desided against it.

"If I tell you, you better not tell Phoebe." Putting his hand against his heart he Swear. "Okay... Well yeah. I like her..." Gerald eyebrows him, Arnold bit his lower lip. "Okay well maybe more then like... It's weird! I can't have feelings for Helga! She was my bully! Who is in love with their bully! It doesn't make since."

"So Arnold your in love with her?" Arnold stood there. His hair dropped down from the top of his head. The red checked shorts and back zip up hoodie seemed heavy on his body.

"I guess I am in love with Helga... Helga G Pataki." Arnold's big green eyes looked at his friend to see him grinning at him.

"I knew it. When are you gonna tell the lucky lady? I mean "if" she is still in love with you? You made her wait a long ass time buddy."

Panic raced in Arnold's mind, Arnolds look went to shock to panic.

"What do I do Gerald! What if I waited to long for her? What if she is tired if me? Oh my god I have to find her!" Arnold started to run out of the mine but felt a choke pull on Arnold's neck.

"Man Arnold. Have I taught you nothing? To make a women re-love you, you have to do something romantic. You just don't go run your ass to the girl to confess. What's wrong with you?" Releasing Arnold he turned back to in the mine. "You gotta do something that she will love, adore. Remember for the rest of her life! Do you know anything thing about Helga that you can use?"

Arnold sat in the mine cross legged, putting an hand on his chin he tried to remember every question he had asked her on this trip so far. Suddenly an idea past through his head that made him bolt up from his spot.

"Gerald I have an amazing idea! You see we have this deal..."

"That's great Arnold but look at the time! It's nearly 6! And I am starving... Lets carry this out tomorrow, okay? But in the meantime lets get a start heading back to the site." Walking out of the mine Arnold followed Gerald behind starting to plan for his amazing night with Helga.
