Arnold's Thoughts

Official Date

After everything that had happened with Helga and Arnold in the cafeteria, all was calm. Sure, every now and then they would get a friend asking whether the rumors were true or not of them being together or if they are crazy because Helga always seemed to hate Arnold but all they did was laugh it off and explain that yes, they are dating and no, Helga does not hate Arnold one bit.

Fast forward to the weekend.

Arnold is a nervous wreck with Gerald in his room just reading a magazine as Arnold gets ready for his date with Helga. Now, Helga is another story. She had gone to Phoebe's to get ready because the lord only knows how bad Helga feels under pressure to the point of her fashion sense being thrown out the window! She's freaking out wondering what her football headed boyfriend is planning for her.

"Gerald, how does this look?" Arnold asked for the billionth time, according to Gerald. Reading a magazine as he's laying on Arnold's couch, Gerlad just sighs.

"For the billionth time Arnold. That one looks good too." he said said in a annoyed tone. "Mmmm mmm mmm. You went through so many outfits that I feel like I'm going to throw up your whole closet outta my mouth!" Gerald said sitting up, having his hands around his throat as if he was going to vomit.

"Haha Gerald." Arnold said as he turned and looked at himself in his mirror. "I have to make sure everything goes perfect. Even what I wear is crucial." he stated as he fixed his black long-sleeved collared shirt. He wore some denim blue jeans and some nice black converse. "Alright. This looks okay. Not too flashy but not too casual either." he smiled as he slicked his hair back a little. Gerald couldn't help but laugh at his love-struck pal. He stood up and walked to him as he put his arm on his shoulder.

"Don't worry my man. Everything will turn out great. Im sure of it." he said smiling at his buddy. Arnold smiled back and walked to get his phone and wallet.

"Thanks Gerald." He looked at the time. "It's 4:25. I should get going." he said putting his stuff in his pocket.

"Alright man. Got your Wallet? Phone?" He made sure he was set.

"Check and check." he patted his pockets to reassure himself.

"Alright, now explain to me what you got planned." Gerald said as he held a check list of Arnold's as they started to make they're way out of the house.

"First I'm going to pick Helga up from Phoebe's house. Were going to take the bus to the Zoo. After that were going to walk around the park. Eat-" he was interupted.

"Made the reservations?" he asked.

"Already done. After that, we'll just hang around the arcade a little and at 9 is the movie were going to watch." Arnold finished as they got downstairs, grabbing his leather jacket.

"Sounds good man. Got the movie tickets?" Gerlad asked.

"No? Can't I just get them at the theater?" Arnold asked confused. Gerald just shook his head.

"And if they're sold out?" he warned. Arnold hadn't thought of that. As he held the door handle trying to figure out what to do, he thought that he would have to ask Helga if Phoebe can print them out for him.

"Your right Gerald. I'm going to have to ask Helga if Phoebe can buy them for me online so she can print out the tickets for us." he said opening the door.

"Sounds like a plan ma man." Gerald said as the closed the door and went down the stairs.

"How do I look?" Arnold asked in a nervous tone. Gerald grabbed him by the shoulders.
