Guest chapter 1. Jun 8

Good story! I love it.

- Thanks, glad you're enjoying the story. That means a lot. :)


It has been about a few weeks since Helga and Arnold have decided to hang out and get closer to each other. Arnold had to admit although Helga had used to bully him (She still does bully him just not as much) he had to admit...he was growing really fond of Helga. She was really fun to be around. Arnold liked her sarcasm and her funny jokes. Of course, she would still pick at him, but Arnold didn't care as long as he was with Helga.

As Arnold and Helga just driving around in Arnold's car they were talking and just laughing enjoying each other's company. Arnold wasn't really listening to what Helga was saying, he was just happy to see Helga happy and smiling. He liked Helga's laugh and smile, seeing it really made Arnold's day.

Helga: And that's when I said, "You're a real crazy person Bob for giving up the furniture; especially my bed."

Arnold chuckled while looking at the road.

Arnold: Your life sounds like a movie.

Helga: That would be a great idea. Helga G Pataki: The movie.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Sounds like a blast.

Helga chuckled while putting her feet up on the dashboard.

Helga: I know. A whole movie about me? Now that sounds like something to watch.

(Author's notes: No really, let's get that to happen. A movie or show about Helga! If we can make The Jungle Movie happen, we can definitely make Hey Arnold come back some sort of way.)

Arnold: Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Helga rolled her eyes while crossing her arms under her chest.

Helga: Oh, shut up Football head.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Who would be in the movie?

Helga tilted her head, thinking.

Helga: People who are important to me.

Arnold: Like whom?

Helga: Only people who are important to me are myself, Phoebe and Yo-...

Arnold looked over at Helga and smirked while she looked at the ground blushing.

Helga's thoughts: Great, nice going Helga. Now you have to think of something to say quickly.

Helga: You- you ask to many questions. Just shut up.

Arnold rolled his eyes while smirking.

Arnold: Yes ma'am.

Arnold said, winking at Helga. Helga could feel her face getting more red. She eventually sighed and looked out the window….

A few moments later Arnold was driving while Helga was sleeping. Arnold couldn't help but to look over at Helga a few times while driving.

Arnold's thoughts: She's just so beautiful. I never realized it before, but she has her own type of beauty. Helga was just different and that's what I liked about her. She didn't care about how she looked or how she appeared towards others. Helga was just Helga and that is what made her beautiful. It's not about her looks or her amazing body she has grown over the years. It was about her personality, and frankly I liked that about her very much.

Arnold signed. A few months ago, Arnold and Helga hated each other. Now the pair is inseparable; they are always together even when in public the two still manages to sneak away and hang out. He couldn't believe that this was happening, but he liked it at the same time. Arnold liked getting to know Helga; everyday it was something new to him. He liked trying to put all the pieces of Helga together. Although it took time since Helga didn't like anyone to get to know her, but Arnold didn't care. He just likes being around her.

As Arnold was deep in his own thoughts Helga began to wake up from her sleep. She began to stretch out her body making Arnold blush as he looked over. Helga noticed Arnold blushing and looked at him confused.

Helga: Are you okay?

Arnold cleared his throat while looking at the road still.

Arnold: What do you mean?

Helga: I mean your face is red you look like a tomato again.

Arnold: Yeah... sometimes that happens when it's really hot out.

Helga: Oh...

Arnold: Yeah…

Helga: Then roll the windows down. Crimeny, is it that hard to do.

Arnold rolled his eyes.

Arnold: Whatever you say Helga.

Helga: I'm glad you finally understand that.

Arnold: Understand what?

Helga: That it's my way or the highway.

Arnold rolled his eyes.

Arnold: You're always so bossy.

Helga: Well yes, I like being in control. Don't you?

Arnold: Depends on the situation.

Arnold smirked.

Helga: I would love to see you take control. You're always so laid back and nonchalant.

Arnold smirked while keeping his eyes on the road.

Arnold: Ask nicely and you might.

Helga looked confused at Arnold and then started blushing.

Helga: Oh.

Arnold then winked at Helga then went back to looking at the road while still smirking.

Helga's thoughts: He's been so flirty with me lately. Not that I'm complaining, I love the attention Arnold is giving me. It's just kind of weird when he has a girlfriend... Oh well! This is my time! Lila should've backed off.

Helga then sighed and put her feet back on the dashboard. Then after she sat back in the passenger seat and put her hands behind her head. As she was getting comfortable Arnold couldn't help but look at her. Helga was just so beautiful to him. Arnold then sighed and noticed a tattoo on Helga's upper thigh. It was being covered up by the jean shorts she was wearing. He tilted his head to try to see what it was. When he couldn't figure it out, he decided to ask Helga about it.

Arnold: You sure do have a lot of tattoos.

Helga: So?

Arnold: Nothing, I just noticed that's all.

Helga: Let me guess, you also want a tour?

Arnold: A tour?

Helga: Of my tattoos. Now I can't show you all of them because some of them are in 'private places', but I can show you the ones that aren't.

Arnold: Okay Helga. Whatever makes you comfortable.

Helga chuckled while Arnold began finding a place to park. After trying to find a place to park Arnold's car, he shifted his body so that way he was facing Helga. Helga sighed and took off sweatshirt she was wearing to reveal a pink t-shirt crop top. As Helga was taking off her sweatshirt, Arnold couldn't help by stare. The way she arched her back while sliding off the sweatshirt was really making Arnold 'excited.' After Helga had finished taking off her sweatshirt, she looked over to Arnold who was stairing at her.

Helga: What?

Arnold cleared his throat and looked away from Helga.

Arnold: N-nothing. I was just looking at the tattoo on your right arm.

Helga: Why? You've seen it already.

Arnold: Yeah... I know. I like it, it's very detailed.

Helga laughed then pulled up her jean shorts a little bit to reveal the tattoo on her upper thigh. It was a type of bird. While Arnold was blushing, he also looked confused as well. Helga sighed.

Helga: I uh.. Had a pet bird, he died so I got a tattoo of him to remember him always.

Arnold: I'm sorry.

Helga: For what? It was long ago.

Arnold: Losing a pet is hard. I remember when Abner died. It was hard.

Helga: I didn't know he died.

Arnold: Well, I know you wouldn't have cared so I didn't tell you.

Helga: That's true.

Silence

Helga: I'm still sorry for your loss.

Arnold smiled while looking Helga in her eyes.

Arnold: Thank you, Helga, that means a lot.

Helga smiled back.

Helga: Yeah, no problem.

Arnold then looked up from the tattoo on Helga's upper thigh again only to look at her confused.

Arnold: I'm just confused.

Helga: About?

Arnold: You told me before that your tattoos don't have any meanings.

Helga: Some of them don't. Like this one I have on my collarbone.

Helga pulled her t-shirt down using its collar to show a tattoo of a small little heart on her collarbone. Arnold chuckled.

Arnold: That's interesting.

Helga then fixed her t-shirt and then looked at Arnold.

Helga: I also have one on my boob, but I don't know-

Arnold: Can I see it?

Arnold said quickly while Helga looked confused.

Helga: You want to see my boob tattoo?

Arnold could feel his face turning red.

Arnold: Well, I mean... I just want to see the tattoo.

Helga laughed while pulling her collar down once more to reveal an Aries sign with fire surrounding it. Arnold looked at it while in deep thoughts.

Arnold's thoughts: Wow, from what I've seen they are beautiful. If I wasn't excited then, I definitely am now.

Helga cleared her throat while waking up Arnold from his thoughts.

Arnold: Sorry I was uh... Thinking.

Helga: About?

Arnold: What does that symbol mean?

Helga: It's an Aries logo.

Arnold: What?

Helga: Zodiac signs. I'm an Aries.

Arnold: I'm a Libra. (Author's Note: This probably isn't accurate information, but that's how it's going to be in my stories.)

Helga: Why am I not surprised?

Arnold chuckled.

Arnold: What do you mean?

Helga: You have the characteristics of a Libra male. Most Libra men are calm, optimistic, problem solvers, and like to live in harmony. Does that remind you of anyone?

Arnold rolled his eyes.

Arnold: Whatever you say Helga.

Helga laughed, while grabbing onto Arnold's thigh almost touching his... Buddy downstairs. Arnold blushed while looking down at the ground.

Arnold's thoughts: God, I want her so bad. I can't take this anymore. She's all I ever think about. I know it's bad, I know. I just can't help it. She's just so beautiful. I'm just not sure if I should make a move or not. I mean what if she doesn't like me like me? I would hate to be embarrassed and make her unconformable…

Arnold sighed while Helga looked over to him.

Helga: Are you okay?

Arnold: Yeah, it's just really hot.

Helga: Why don't we go and get some ice cream to cool off?

Arnold: I could go for a snack.

Arnold smirked at Helga. Helga's eyes widen while she blushed.

Arnold: I'm kidding Helga. I'm just, teasing you.

Helga chuckled.

Helga: You seem to be doing that a lot recently.

Arnold: I mean, you've done it for me for years. Sixteen years to be exact.

Helga: You make a very compelling case Arnoldo.

Arnold laughed at Helga then grabbed her hand to hold it. She looked at Arnold with surprise written all over her face, but eventually she gave in and sighed. Arnold has been very touchy with Helga lately. Although Helga liked it very much, she just wasn't sure if Arnold was doing it as a friend or if he saw her more than that. Either way she liked when Arnold touched her. Even if she acts like she doesn't, she really does.

Eventually Arnold would turn back to the wheel and start up the car while still holding Helga's hand. They smiled at each other as they began to drive off somewhere still holding hands...

A few hours have passed, and Arnold and Helga were eating at an ice cream joint talking about what they should do since they have next week off from school.

Helga: Phoebe is going to be with Gerald, so I guess that just leaves us two.

Arnold: What did you have in mind?

Helga thought for a second while licking her spoon. Arnold noticed this and looked down at the ground trying to hide his blushing face.

Helga: We should go somewhere.

Arnold looked up confused at Helga.

Arnold: Where?

Helga: I don't know, it was your idea.

Arnold: What are you talking about?

Helga: That time you came to my house. Then you asked me if we could take a road trip?

Arnold: You really want to do that?

Helga: I would rather do that then be home when Olga comes for the week.

Arnold: How are we going to get away? Everyone will know?

Helga: That's why we lie to them saying we are going different locations when we really aren't.

Arnold: Gotcha.

Helga: Yeah, no shit Football head. It would be nice to just get away anyways. Everyone in Hillwood is annoying.

Arnold: I agree, the last few weeks Lila has been bugging me to hang out.

Helga rolled her eyes.

Helga: Why not avoid her?

Arnold: She really wants to hang out next week, during the break.

Helga: So you're going?

Arnold: Helga no. We just talked about us hanging out over the break.

Helga: Oh, I thought you were going to ditch me and go hang out with Ms. Perfect.

Arnold rolled his eyes.

Arnold: I'm not going to hang out with her, when I already made plans with you. I'm a man of my word.

Helga: Okay.

Arnold: Besides, I can talk to her during school. I don't need to hang out with her over the break as well.

Helga: Good.

Arnold: She says she wants to be friends, but I'm not so sure.

Helga: Right.

Arnold: What do you mean?

Helga: Nothing.

Arnold: Okay.

Silence

Arnold: You never really liked Lila much have you?

Helga looked at Arnold confused.

Helga: What are you talking about? I never said I didn't like Lila.

Arnold: You never said you did either.

Helga: I did, in one epoiside. It was scripted so I guess it doesn't count.

Arnold: I'm just confused, why wouldn't you like Lila?

Helga: I'm fond of her. I just don't like her.

Arnold: Why?

Helga: I mean, she's annoying. That "ever so" or "oh so" come on. She's clearly putting up the sweat girl act to get whatever she wants.

Arnold: I don't think you like nice people.

Helga: Lila is nice now.

Arnold: I think she's a nice person yeah.

Helga: Okay, Mr. Got cheated on.

Arnold: That's in the past. We let that go.

Helga: Stupid choice.

Arnold: No, it's more like a mature thing to do. I forgive and forget.

Helga: I don't. I hold grudges.

Arnold: So that's why you don't like Lila? Because she cheated on me.

Helga: No.

Silence

Helga: I don't like Lila, because she's everything I'm not and I hate that.

Arnold looked confused at Helga.

Arnold: Why would you hate that?

Helga sighed.

Helga: Because it's annoying being around someone so perfect. She does one thing bad, and everyone forgives her because she's pretty. I do one thing bad I'm the bad guy. She's literally the perfect woman. I mean, I'm not smart like her, or pretty like her, or even kind like her. She's better than me and I hate that.

Arnold looked down at the ground. He didn't know someone so beautiful was also very insecure. Is that Helga bullied everyone? Because she was an insecure person really who hated herself?

Arnold then sighed and reached across the table to grab Helga's hand holding it. Helga looked confused at Arnold while blushing madly.

Arnold: No, you aren't prettier, or smarter than Lila... You're better. You are you Helga and me personally I like that very much. You're not afraid to just be yourself and I adore that, a lot.

Helga could feel herself smile.

Helga: You do?

Arnold smiled and then squeezed Helga's hand tight.

Arnold: Yes, I do Helga.

As Arnold was getting ready to lean to Helga to kiss her, he felt his phone ringing in his pocket. He sighed and went to answer his phone only to be his mother calling him.

On the phone:

Arnold: Hello?

Stella: Hey, are you out?

Arnold sighed.

Arnold: Yeah, is everything okay?

Stella: Your grandma stole your father's car and went driving. Now, she's missing.

Arnold: Okay Mom, I'm coming. I'm on the other side of Hillwood so it will take me a while, but I'll be there as fast I can.

Stella: Thanks honey. I'll see you when you get home.

Arnold rolled his eyes while smiling.

Arnold: Okay mom. I love you.

Stella: I love you too.

Arnold hung up the phone. Helga looked over at Arnold.

Helga: Everything okay?

Arnold: No, my grandma stole my dad's cat and went driving again.

Helga: Oh no.

Arnold: Yeah...

Arnold said laughing.

Arnold: I'll drop you home and then go to look for her.

Helga: Okay.

Helga said smiling. She then got up from her seat to stretch her legs. As she was walking to the door, she realized the two were still holding hands. They looked up at each other and blushed. Arnold then got up and smiled down at Helga since he's much taller than she is now. After staring and smiling at each other they left out the door continuing to hold hands….


A few hours later Helga was at home in her room lying in bed. She would normally be in her room writing poems or worshiping her Arnold figure she had in her room, but tonight was different. Tonight, she wanted to touch Arnold. As Helga and Arnold were holding hands earlier, she kept getting this feeling of wanting him and craving him. She has always had these feelings even before learning about sex but tonight it was different. She actually wanted to experience sex with Arnold.

Helga sighs then gets up out of her bed. As she was getting out of her bed, she heard her doorbell ring. Helga looked confused but went to get the door to reveal...

Helga: What are you doing here?

Big Gino: Sister. How are ya?

Helga rolled her eyes then leaned against the door frame. Ever since Olga had married Big Gino's older brother, Gino and Helga have become close, but Helga couldn't stand him either. They were supposed to go to a club one night, but Gino left Helga and Pheobe behind for some woman. Helga hasn't let go of that ever since. Although Gino had made it up to Helga numerous of times, she's still decided to be bitter.

Helga: I'm not your sister. Now what do you want leprechaun?

Gino rolled his eyes.

Gino: I can't come and see my sister?

Helga: We are not brothers and sisters. Just because our siblings are married, that doesn't mean we are related. We are just in laws.

Gino: Same thing sister.

Helga: Whatever, now what do you want? I have plans tonight.

Gino: Like what?

Helga: If you must know, I was going to catch up on some homework. We all can't drop out and become rich like you ya know.

Gino: Hey, I have offered you numerous times to come work for me, but you always say no.

Helga: The nerve of me not wanting to be a drug dealer.

Gino rolled his eyes while crossing his arms.

Gino: Anyways sister, I was just letting ya know I'm having a party during your school break. I want you there.

Helga: A party for what?

Gino: It's been five years since I've been working… ya know...

Helga: Really? It's been that long?

Gino: Yes ma'am. So, are you coming or not?

Helga: Hmmm, what am I getting out of this? I mean it is going to be downtown, is it?

Gino: Yes...

Helga: So, what am I getting out of going to your party?

Gino rolled his eyes.

Gino: Really? You're my sister, I would do the same thing for you.

Helga: Says the guy that ditched me to go with babe.

Gino: Really Helga? That was a year ago?

Helga: And I'm still mad. Phoebe and I really wanted to go to that club.

Gino face palmed then rolled his eyes.

Gino: What do you even want? I give you money and edibles all the time. What else could you want?

Helga: Five thousand dollars. I want to take a trip somewhere.

Gino: To where?

Helga: I don't know, I just want to go somewhere for a while.

Gino: Fine whatever. Now if I give you the money will you come?

Helga: You have yourself a deal.

Gino: Thank you, You're always so complicated.

Helga: And you only speak to me when you want something.

Gino: Sister, really? You know family means everything to me.

Helga: Sure, even though you ditched your 'sister' for some babe but that's okay.

Gino rolled his eyes.

Gino: You're still talking about that?

Helga: Did you expect me to forget?

Gino: Yes. Yes, I did.

Helga: Well, I didn't

Gino: Yeah of course you didn't. Anyways sister, I'll see you later. See you-

Helga rolled her eyes and slammed her door in Gino's face. After she went to her room and closed the door. Helga then took off her blue pajama pants and wore her white lace thong since no one else was home but her. She then went to bed and laid down. As she was getting comfortable, she heard another knock on her door. Helga huffed and rolled her eyes once.

Helga: Why does everyone keep coming over here?

After she got out of bed to answer the door, she felt her heart scream…

Helga: Arnold?

Arnold: Hey... Is this a good time?

Helga: Yeah, is everything okay?

Arnold: Yeah, I just wanted to get away from home. Can I... stay for the night or two?

Helga: Yeah, I guess.. Is everything okay?

Arnold: Yeah, I just wanted to get away from home.

Helga's thoughts: Wow I just started thinking about him and here is at my door wanting to see me. (Sighs) Oh Arnold my love. How so sweet of you.

Helga cleared her throat and rolled her eyes.

Helga: Sure. Come on in.

Helga opened her door and let Arnold come inside of the house. After Helga had closed her door Arnold put his green duffle bag on Helga's couch and sat down next to it. Helga looked confused at Arnold.

Helga: So... out of all of your friends you come here?

Arnold: Well, to be honest Helga; I just wanted to come and see you.

Helga's eyes widen with shock.

Helga: W-what?

Arnold: I felt bad that we didn't get to finish our day so I thought maybe I could sleep over so we could finish hanging out.

Helga rolled her eyes then smiled.

Helga: Okay Football head, what did you have planned?

Arnold: Well, we can go on a walk or stay in to watch a movie or go for a drive?

Helga's thoughts: Maybe if we stay in, things will get heated… Hmmm.

Helga: Sure, let's stay in and watch a movie.

Arnold: Okay, I'll order some pizza.

Helga: Okay and I can go into my snack cabin and get some snacks and drinks out.

Arnold looked at Helga.

Arnold: Drinks?

Helga: Just some Merlot.

Arnold looked at Helga confused.

Arnold: Merlot?

Helga: It's a type of red wine Football Head for cripes sakes.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: So, you want to get drunk tonight?

Helga: No, but ever since Gino brought me to some fancy Italian restaurant; I like eating pizza with red wine.

Arnold: Why would Big Gino bring you to an Italian restaurant?

Helga: He's, my brother-in-law. His brother is married to sister Olga.

Arnold: I didn't know Olga was married.

Helga: Yeah, she got married two years ago in France.

Arnold: So that's why you, Phoebe and Lila went to France.

Helga: Yup, the vacation was terrible, but the drinks good.

Arnold: Drinks?

Helga: Yeah, I had did some stuff I regret but that's beyond the point. Let's just focus on having a movie night.

Arnold rolled his eyes.

Arnold: Okay Helga. May I use your bathroom?

Helga looked at Arnold confused.

Helga: You have to ask to use the bathroom? We aren't in school.

Arnold: I know, just out of respect.

Helga: Arnold you can go anywhere you want except for my room.

Arnold looked up to Helga since she was standing in front him while he was still sitting on the couch.

Arnold: Why can't I go into your room?

Helga: Because it's a mess and I have to clean it up.

Arnold: Seems about right.

Helga: Good. Now I'll be right back.

Arnold stood up from the couch while looking down at Helga, since Arnold was taller than Helga.

Arnold: Where are you going?

Helga: To my room to get changed into some comfortable clothes. Is that okay?

Arnold: Yes ma'am.

Helga rolled her eyes and started to walk off. As she was walking, she tripped over Bob's shoes and stumbled backwards landing on Arnold's lap, since he was pushed back to the couch by trying to catch her. The two looked at each other blushing debating if they wanted to kiss or not…

Helga's thoughts: He's right there, just go for it Helga. If he doesn't like it, just run away.

Arnold's thoughts: Should I kiss her? I mean what's the worst that can happen? She won't like it and she kick my butt?

Arnold sighed and leaned in while Helga was also about to lean in.

Arnold's thoughts: Just do it Arnold.

Helga's thoughts: Come on Arnold, don't make me have to do it.

As Helga and Arnold were a few inches apart Helga heard the house phone ringing. Helga slammed her fist into the couch and reached over to answer it; while still sitting on top of Arnold.

On the phone:

Helga: Hello?

Miriam: Helga is that you?

Helga: Yes, it is Miriam.

Miriam: I thought you were here. I just saw you a second ago.

Helga growls.

Helga: Then why the fuck would you call home then?

Miriam: Home? I thought I was calling your father.

Helga growls once again and hangs up the phone.

Helga: She's so fucking annoying.

Helga then turns to look at Arnold, while he's laughing.

Arnold: Your mom seems... Interesting...

Helga: You mean dumb?

Arnold: No comment.

Helga rolled her eyes then laughed. As she was laughing, she put her head on Arnold's shoulder. Arnold smiled then put his head on top of Helga's head. As the two were cuddling they eventually they went to sleep holding each other...

When Arnold woke back up a few hours later, he saw Helga was now laying on his chest while Arnold was laying down. Arnold smiled and gently got up off the couch to not wake up Helga and to go use the bathroom. After he was done in the bathroom, he gently picked up Helga and brought her to her room where Arnold tucked Helga in bed. As Arnold was getting ready to go shower Helga grabbed onto his hand. Arnold looked down to see Helga was still asleep but also talking. (She was talking in her sleep)

Helga: Stay Arnold. I need you right now.

Arnold gulped and then did as he was told. He took off his sweatpants he was wearing along with his t-shirt and shoes and climbed over to Helga to lay next to her. When Arnold managed to get in the bed Helga moved her body next to him and began to cuddle him. Arnold smiled and then kissed Helga on her forehead, then tried to get some sleep. As Arnold was on his way to sleep, he heard Helga mention his name….

Helga: Oh Arnold... I need you right now.

Arnold: Huh?

Helga: Oh yes Arnold, please don't stop.

Arnold: W-what? I didn't do anything...

Helga then started to moan which really turned Arnold on. He tried to ignore her, but she kept moaning his name. Arnold then shook Helga to wake up. After Helga was awake, she shifted her body so that Arnold and Helga were face to face. Helga smiled while looking into Arnold's gorgeous green eyes. Arnold then sighed and leaned in to kiss Helga. She was shocked but she returned the kiss. After a while Arnold then climbed on top of Helga pinning her down to the bed. He then continued the kiss moving his way to Helga's lips (on her face ;)) to her neck making her moan.

Helga: Oh Arnold.

Arnold smirked as he heard Helga moan his name. He wanted to hear more of her moans. He liked hearing Helga moan; it turned him on. As he was moving back to her lips Helga stopped him. Arnold looked down at Helga confused.

Arnold: I'm sorry, did I hurt you?

Helga: No, it's just that... We shouldn't be doing this...

Arnold: I'm sorry I thought-

Helga: Arnold we can't. I mean you're dating Lila…It's not fair to her.

Arnold looked down confused at Helga.

Arnold: I'm not dating Lila.

Now Helga looked up at Arnold confused.

Helga: You're not?

Arnold: No, as far as I know Lila is with Joey.

Helga: But at the basketball game after party…

Arnold: What about it?

Helga: I heard you two tell each other you're glad to be back in each other's lives.

Arnold: As friends.

Arnold laughed while going back to kissing Helga's neck.

Helga: But- but..

Arnold then removed himself from Helga's neck and went to look her in her eyes with his own. He then placed his finger over Helga's lips (on her face) making her be quiet.

Arnold: Helga, I'm not dating anyone. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying. Okay?

Helga nodded her head while still looking into Arnold's eyes. Arnold smiled and then got off of Helga. He then went to get out of the bed, while Helga followed him. After the two were out of the bed they made their way into the kitchen. Helga then turned on a light in the kitchen and went to sit at the counter while Arnold went to the fridge to look for a snack.

After he found something to eat, he sat next to Helga on the counter and began to eat his snack. Helga watched him as he ate his food. He wasn't messy but he a bit of a slob.

Helga's thoughts: Hmm if he eats his food like that imagine how he would eat my—

Arnol: Sorry, were you hungry?

Helga looked over to Arnold who was eating a piece of cake.

Helga: No... I'm okay…

Arnold: Okay...

Silence

Arnold sighed while looking down to the ground.

Arnold: I'm sorry for kissing you...

Helga: It's okay, it was... Just a heat of the moment.

Arnold: Yeah...

Helga looked over to her wall clock that is in the kitchen.

Helga: Hey, it's only one in the morning.

Arnold: So?

Helga: Why don't we get some snacks and watch a movie like we planned before we fell asleep.

Arnold looked back up at Helga and smiled.

Arnold: Fine as long as we get pizza.

Helga got up from her seat and faced Arnold.

Helga: Okay. It better be here by the time I get out of the shower or I'm kicking your ass.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Yes ma'am.

Helga and Arnold walked away from each other and went their separate ways to take a shower. While Helga was in the main bathroom Arnold was in the guest bathroom taking his shower.

A few hours later the two were up watching a scary movie while eating pizza and drinking wine while somewhat cuddling. Helga had her legs on top of Arnold while Arnold had his arm behind Helga.

Helga: God, this movie is so bad.

Arnold: I agree.

Helga grabbed the remote and turned the tv off. She then shifted her body so that way her back was against Arnold's chest. Arnold looked down at Helga smiling.

Arnold: So, what should we do now?

Helga: Do you want to ask each other questions until we get bored?

Arnold: Sure, why not?

Helga: Okay, you go first.

Arnold: Okay... What's your favorite color?

Helga: Pink, which is surprising because I'm not feminine.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Your turn.

Helga: What's your favorite sport?

Arnold: Baseball.

Helga: So, then why aren't you on the baseball team anymore?

Arnold: Because Coach Wittenberg was the coach, and I don't like him as a coach.

Helga: Yeah, he's a major dick.

Arnold laughed while putting his feet on the coffee table.

Arnold: If you could go anywhere in the world, would you go?

Helga: Back to being a kid.

Arnold looked down at Helga since her head was in Arnold's lap.

Arnold: Why?

Helga: Because it was easier, and life didn't have to make sense.

Arnold: Why doesn't life make sense to you?

Helga: Because I don't know where I'm supposed to go from high school. My dad wants me to work at the Cellphone Company, but I have my eyes on other things.

Arnold: Like what?

Helga: Well as you know Football Head, I like to write. I was thinking of being a children's author.

Arnold: That's interesting. I kind of wanted to be a psychiatrist for children.

Helga: Honestly, I think that would be good for you.

Arnold: Really?

Helga: Yeah, I mean, you like helping others and giving advice so it would make sense you would want to be a psychiatrist.

Arnold: It's like you know me so well.

Helga: What are you talking about? We literally grew up together.

Arnold and Helga shared a laugh.

Arnold: I always figured you would be some type of model.

Helga: Oh, shut up. You know how my modeling career went before.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Your boss hated you for being nice; pathetic.

Helga: He was pathetic. You know, send me a letter asking me to come back when I was sixteen?

Arnold: Really? What did you say?

Helga: To kiss my shiny ass.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Good thing you said no, a few months ago he was on the news for sexually assaulting models.

Helga: Oh really?

Arnold: Yeah.

Helga: Shit. What a dickhead.

Arnold laughed.

Arnold: Agreed.

Helga looked down at the ground. She then sighed. Arnold noticed this and looked down at her. She then looked up at Arnold.

Helga: Arnold?

Arnold: Yes Helga?

Arnold said continuing to look down at Helga.

Helga: Have you ever been in love?

Arnold sighed and started to fiddle with Helga's hair.

Arnold: I have. One time.

Helga: How did it feel?

Arnold sighed.

Arnold: To be in love? It felt good knowing that someone always had your back, someone you can always share secrets with, always be around or just to be with in general. Love is something everyone craves even the people who are 'heartless' just wants someone they can always count on and be loyal to no matter what.

Helga: It sounds kind of goofy.

Arnold: That's because you haven't found someone worthy of holding onto your heart, but once you find that person... You'll change your mind.

Helga sighed and then looked up at Arnold smiling.

Helga's thoughts: Maybe I have….

Arnold: Have you ever been in love, Helga?

Helga cleared her throat.

Helga: Me? In love? Pft, that's mushy and shit.

Arnold rolled his eyes.

Arnold: Whatever you say Helga.

Helga then rolled her eyes.

Helga: Besides, I would rather be rich.

Arnold: You can be rich and in love.

Helga: Yeah, you can be. Not me though.

Arnold: So, you're telling me, if the person of your dreams walked right into your life right now; you would turn them down?

Helga: Yes.

Arnold: Yeah right.

Helga: Yes, I would.

Arnold and Helga shared a quick laugh. After they were done laughing, they looked into each other's eyes smiling at each other. Helga then sat up and got on top of Arnold's lap being faced to face with him. As they were looking at each other's eyes they started to lean in closer and closer until they were brought into another kiss. It was their second kiss of the night and felt more passionate than the other one.

As the two were kissing, Helga began running her hands through Arnold's hair. She has touched Arnold's hair before but this time it felt different. His hair felt like Helga's hands belong in his hair and she loved it.

Arnold on the other hand brought Helga closer to him and started to rub her back. Eventually Arnold would move to Helga's neck kissing along it. Helga would lean her head back giving Arnold more access to her neck making Helga moan with pleasure.

Helga: Oh Arnold...

Arnold smirked while biting and nibbling at Helga's neck. He didn't know why but he liked kissing on the left side of her neck. It tasted better to him; he didn't know why. He just liked it. As Arnold continued kissing at Helga's neck, Helga started to slowly put her hand up Arnold's shirt. Arnold noticed this and grabbed her hand while still nibbling at Helga's neck.

Helga: Sorry...

Arnold: Don't be.

Arnold said as he went back to kissing and nibbling at Helga's neck, making her moan.

Helga: Oh yes.

Arnold smirked and then went back to kissing Helga on the lips (On her face)

After a few moments Arnold and Helga separated then looked at each other.

Helga: Heat of the moment?

Arnold: Yeah.. Heat of the moment
