Hey Arnold: Whatever happens in New York

Evening surprises

The next morning everyone wakes up in odd positions at the pool. Some people slept while floating in the water,others were half falling into the pool,and some just slept on the concrete. Arnold wakes up with a groan.'What happened?'he thinks and looks around. From the positions people were sleeping in,he guessed that Sid,Stinky,and Harold must've snuck alcohol or drugs into the drinks."Ahem!"he hears and turns around to see a foot tapping. He looks up the body to see the face of an angry Mr. Simmons."I thought I told you to take charge!"he exclaims."I-I,um.."he stammers."Why is everyone a half falling into the pool and passed out?! You were supposed to watch out for everyone and be home by ten!"Mr. Simmons says. Arnold groggily stands up. "But Mr. Simmons,it's not my job to watch over teenagers,it's yours. Especially since you volunteered to help."he states. Mr. Simmons pouts at the realization of this."Okay,I guess you're right. But I do want you to get everyone to the hotel in thirty minutes,with this pool all cleaned up. I'll see you there."Mr. Simmons orders and walks out into a cab. Arnold stands there in his bathing suit,mouth agape at what he was supposed to do.'How am I supposed to get everyone up,have them listen to me,clean up,and get to the hotel,all in thirty minutes?!'he thinks."I'll help you." A voice says and Arnold turns around."Huh?"he asks Helga."I heard everything."Helga starts,walking towards him,hips swaying while she was still in her bikini. He blushes a bit and rubs his neck."Well..."he stutters."I'll help you clean everything and get everyone to the hotel."she interrupts. Before Arnold can reply,Helga had already woken up five people. "Ok then."he says to himself and starts waking up people while cleaning.
Twenty-five minutes later,everyone is loading up on the busses,some confused,other grumbling from a hangover."See? I can do amazing things!"Helga says."I always knew that..."Arnold says to himself aloud. Helga is taken aback and blushes."W-what?"she asks. Arnold looks at her. The wind blew her bond hair and think pink dress covering her to the left. She had a blush on her cheeks and her eyes supporting long eyelashes were open wide. Arnold blushes again."N-nothing! It's nothing..."he says and turns away,rubbing his neck."Let's just get on the busses."Helga suggest and both blondes agree. They both head on one bus,Arnold on the first one,Helga on the second. Soon everyone arrives to the hotel and gets ready for breakfast in their own rooms. After a shower,and getting dressed,both blondes go downstairs in a line with everyone to sit at a family table to eat."Aw Mr. Simmons!"Harold exclaims loudly."Do we have to eat together? I have a killer headache!" Sid covers his ears."If you had a killer headache,you wouldn't be so loud!"he snaps,voice full of venom. Everyone takes their seats and try not to act hungover so they wouldn't get in trouble."Don't you just love this?!"Mr. Simmons stands up and shouts."Speaking of this,I have a special surprise this breakfast!"he announces."We have a mariachi band playing for us and giving out Mexican omelettes!" He says and a band rushes in from the kitchen. They play loud music as all the hungover people try their all not to blow their cover. Each band member moves close to one person and plays loud music as they passed out omelettes. Soon,Sid can't bear it."Shut up already! It's too early for this and I have a major headache!"he yells. The music stops and all the Mexican men walk into the kitchen with disappointment."Sid,why did you do that?"Ms. Velletto to exclaims."Because it's too early for that,and I have a killer headache."Sid replies,sitting back in his seat and wipes his mouth."And why exactly DO you have a headache?"Mr. Simmons asks. Sid dead stops."Well,umm,you see..."he stutters."Oh my gosh have you had alcohol? Has any of you had alcohol?"he asks with shock. No one answers and continues eating nervously. Mr. Simmons gasps from shock."We're not doing anything today. Go back to your rooms after this."he orders. The students grumble and argue."Don't argue with me,you should not have been drinking,none of you are at legal age! I could loose my job over this!"he says. Then it settles in. He starts hyperventilating and panics."I Could loose my job over this, I could loose my job over this!"he starts exclaiming."Simmons,Simmons calm down!"Mrs. Velletto comforts."It will all be alright." Park looks at Helga and laughs. Helga laughs along."This is not funny!" Ms. Velletto says sternly."Mr. Simmons could loose his job over you guys." Both Helga and Park stop laughing and continue eating.
After breakfast everyone goes back to their rooms to relax."I can't believe Simmons cancelled today's plans!"Helga says,pacing the room."Well he has given us many chances and I do feel guilty. We basically used him."Arnold states. Helga sighs."I guess you're right....so what are we going to do today?"she asks."I don't know, maybe we can just talk. You know,maybe play those old games we did in P.s.118 and call back home."Arnold suggests.Helga scoffs."Call back home?! Haha,please,I doubt they even care what's going on with me unless it effects their lives."she says. Arnold frowns."Well that's not good. Have you ever tried to make a relationship with any on them?"Arnold asks. Helga sits on the bed next to him."Thousands."she replies."Okay...well I suggest that you don't completely give up on them."Arnold advices. Helga pats his back."Sure Arnold,sure."Helga replies. There's a short silence."Shame shame shame?"Helga asks."Huh?"Arnold says. Then it clicks. He shrugs his shoulders and both blondes play the old hand game from their childhood.
During the day both blondes talk about how their lives are going at home,passing the school year,call their friends,order food,and just hang out like normal teenagers. Well,as normal as you can get in a five star hotel on a class trip to New York,trapped in your room because some students drank alcohol. Later Ms. Velletto calls the students to board the busses to go to a fancy French restaurant because they couldn't cancel their reservations. Soon everyone sits at their own tables in their chosen groups. Arnold's group was separated because they couldn't get a table near everyone else. Since Gerald had planned on being alone with Phoebe for the night,both blondes separate their table away from them. As Helga eats and gazes at her best friend Arnold blushes. Helga looked very beautiful. She's wearing a pink dress with a pink sweater over it,had a gold heart necklace with gold hear earrings,and had pink flats on. She's wearing her hair out like she did when she pretended to be Cecile,and had a small pink bow in her hair."H-Helga,I have an I-important thing to tell you."Arnold stutters.'Today is the night I tell her..' Arnold thinks to himself. "I'm so happy for Phoebe."Helga says."Even though I may not show it,I love her. She's my sister."Helga says,still gazing at her friend."Did you hear me?"Arnold asks."Huh?"Helga asks and looks hi in the eyes. A piano starts playing in the background.'Just do it. If you don't do it now,you'll never be able to.'Arnold thinks to himself. His confidence boosts up. He grabs her hand and rubs it gently."Helga,"he starts."I know this may be sudden,but-" "OLGA!"a voice booms thought the restaurant. Both blondes turn to see Helga's father, Big Bob Pataki."How dare you run away to New York to be with that orphan,Arnie!"he stomps up to her and yells,face red. Arnold is hit with a sharp pain of hurt in his chest. Helga gives him a worried look,but turns back to her father."I didn't run away,I told Miriam."she says,keeping a stern face."You know how she's a drunk! She's can't even remember where her glasses are every five minutes,how the hell is she supposed to remember where you are?!"he yells."Oh I don't know,maybe it's because I'm her CHILD."Helga sarcastically answers. "She had to send out a missing report,do you know how that effected business?! Other companies think I'm a deadbeat dad now! I l-lost a deal!!"He stutters with anger at his last sentence."Does it look like I care about you loosing ONE sale Bob?!"she says sarcastically and puts her hand in his face. Big Bob's face turns beet red and his fists shake. Arnold looks at his fists with worry."Helga-"he's cut off by the sight that has just happened. Everything just happens in slow motion. Big Bob turned Helga around,punched her right in the face and is dragging her out the restaurant by her hair."Helga!"he screams and chases after her. People continue screaming and panicking as Arnold runs after them. He pulls her from Bob,and pushes her behind him."Don't you ever put your hand on her again!"he yells. Big Bob turns around to see Arnold. He first giggles then bursts into howling laughter."And what is a puny teenaged orphan like you gonna do?!"he asks,emphasizing on the 'orphan'. Arnold really didn't know what he was going to do,but puts up both his fists."Protect the person I love."He says. Both him and Bob get into a tussle until he finally knocks him out and drags Helga by her hair out the restaurant.
Later he wakes up on the bus,next to Gerald."What happened?"Arnold groans. His body aches."During the fight all the students went to the hotel and Simmons told me to take you to the nearest hospital. They just gave you a couple bandages,swelled the knot on your head down a bit,and told me to take you home. Thus,here we are."Gerald explains."What about Helga?!"Arnold exclaims. Gerald sits up." She did look a little bruised,but she's with her father. Simmons tried to talk to him,but ended up getting shoved into a pile of trash cans. No one has seen her since."Gerald explains."Well we have to find her!"Arnold says,panicking."Woah there,calm down Mr. Save-the-day!"Gerald starts."I don't think searching for someone would be easily done in a tuxedo. So let's get to the hotel first and see if they even found her yet."he says. Arnold sighs and nods his head. Gerald puts his hand on Arnold's shoulder."Hey.."he starts softly."We're going to find her,okay?" Arnold nods his head,worry still etched into his heart. Ten minutes later they arrive at the hotel to see everyone gathered around the lobby."Arnold,Gerald!"Phoebe says and runs up to them."We didn't find anything."Gerald says. Phoebe frowns."You should've came earlier. We just finished a meeting about her. We're doing our best to look for her. She won't answer her phone either."She explains. Arnold sigh. Gerald gives him a quick worried look."We're going to change in our rooms,we'll be back."he says. Phoebe. Nods and scurries off to tall to other people.
While Arnold changes,Gerald comes back from his room into Arnold's,wearing a sweatsuit."Listen buddy,I know you're worried,but this is her FATHER we're talking about. He wouldn't do anything to hurt her."Gerald says,sitting on his best friend's hotel chair."Yeah,but Helga told me he didn't care what happened to her,and the way he was hitting her tonight,it really did seem that he doesn't care about her!"Arnold explains. Gerald frowns at the realization of this."Well...hopefully that's not true."he replies and closes the door behind him. Both boys leave the hotel,searching possible places she could've went,Arnold praying to find her.
Helga is thrown into a dark room by a force that is her father."Do you know how embarrassed you have made me?!" Bob shouts to her."What,all because you missed a sale?! This is ridiculous!"Helga snaps back,still having her tongue of steel."No it's not just 'a sale'!"he shouts."It's the fact that you are an embarrassment to this family! You are a shame,and always have been since the day you were born! Why couldn't you have just been born a boy who had high ambitions to own the business? Or why not even a successful girl like Olga at least? But no,you just had to come out a curse of shame to this family!" Helga's jaw drops at how shallow minded her father actually was. She always knew he was like that,but to this low?"Well I'm not,and you have to deal with it!Just because I don't win as many awards as Olga,or do everything like her,doesn't mean I won't be successful! I'll show you,and you'll regret ever hitting me or saying a mean word to me." Bob laughs."Well it doesn't matter,it's not like you'll have a future."he says,an evil smirk on his face. Helga has a puzzled look."I've seen it before. All the rich men's children who weren't as successful always happen to 'accidentally' die in an accident,or the wrong dosing of medicine,and even murder!We all know who actually killed them though,but since they're wealthy,they won't get in trouble. And that's exactly what I'm going to do to you." Helga's eyes widen in fear,but she still keeps her hard shell."What are you going to do to me?"she asks,eyeing him in the dark."You know exactly what's going to happen to you,and it's the only way. I have some men to do the dirty deeds for me."Bob laughs. Helga's stomach turns in disgust at what her supposed fate was."Well,I must be going,those beepers aren't going to sell themselves!"he laughs evilly and walks out the warehouse."I hope you die and go to Hell!"Helga shouts after him. She still hears his howling laughter as a car door slams and pulls off. She tries to stand up and run to the locked door,but realizes Bob has chained her to the cold,wet floor while they were arguing. She struggles to pull out the chains,screaming and crying. After many failed attempts,she collapses to the ground in a wet,sobbing mess.'Is this really my fate? Arnold...please...help...'she thinks to herself as a last tear rolls down her cheek and she passes out from exhaustion.
