Arnold's greatest treasure

It's always been you

That same night after Gerald had drop of Phoebe. Helga and Phoebe's were talking about   how the date went.
Phoebe told Helga She was very impress with Gerald and how they were holding hands during the movies.... for Phoebe it was a perfect night. For Helga it almost was...
"Phoebe that moment when Arnold kissed me I was in heaven, I truly didn't want that moment to end, but then Linda send Arnoldo that text with her photo and I knew it was all a dream."

"But Helga you Said it yourself, he told you his heart belong to you."
"Yeah Phoebe to me and to who else, it's not the first time Arnold had a crust for another girl, we both seen it."
"Yes Helga but that was a long time ago, we haven't seen Arnold with anyone since well the 6 grade."
"Yes anyone that we know off, let's face it the kiss was magical and sadly I fell for it, but the reality is that he truly doesn't love me, maybe he just got carried away because he saw me sad and being honest with my feelings ...good old Arnold out to the rescue I guess."
Helga started to prepared her covers to sleep, she look sad and disappointed.
"It was too good to be real." Said Helga laying down while staring at the ceiling.
"What about Andrew?" Ask Phoebe
Helga smiled.
"Oh Andrew he could become my reality." And with that The girls fell asleep.

Arnold arrived home tired, stress and heartbroken. "Helga...my Helga, I had her in my arms and I lost her... and all because of a stupid text." Arnold was laying on his bed remembering having Helga in his arms, feelings the warm of her body and tasting the sweetness of her lips. It was all so wonderful he couldn't denied it, he was addicted to her kiss.

Then he remember what Helga yelled at him, the most beautiful gift can come in the plainest box, "where have I heard that before?" Said Arnold remembering his dream when his father told him, she is your true treasure and it comes in the plainest box... Arnold put his hands on her forehead just thinking "No, I heard it a long time ago... when I was..." Arnold's mind took him back to that dinner with that girl that left him speechless, that girl with beautiful blue eyes and wavy blond hair telling him after all the most beautiful gift can come in the plainest box... I really like you, do you like me too?.

Arnold's eyes widened...
"I can't believe it, it's Helga.... Helga is Cecil!
(Arnold exhaled...) all this time...and she was right in front of me...I feel so stupid! I can't lose her now, I have to talk to her."
A call came through, Arnold jumped at the phone wishing it was Helga, but it was Gerald.

"Hey man how you been?" asked Gerald

"Not good Gerald do you know anything about Helga?" asked Arnold worried

"Yes I do...but take it easy don't get too exited for what I'm about to tell you, when I was walking Phoebe home I saw Helga from afar with....I think it was Andrew."

"Andrew!! Why was he with Helga?!" asked Arnold upset

"I don't know man, maybe she met him somewhere by mistake, or maybe she when out looking for him...I don't know."

"I can't believe this, first I had Helga in my arms...and then Linda send me that text that ruin everything, and now Helga was with Andrew!" yelled Arnold in disappointment.

"Was the photo really that bad?" Asked Gerald
"It was Linda with a mini skirt seating on top of a table." Replied Arnold still very heartbroken.
"Really!!! Do you still have it?" Asked Gerald
"Yes" Said Arnold
"Can I see it?"
"Gerald!!! That photo got me in to a lot of trouble and your asking if you can see it... the only reason I still have it it's because I'm going to show it to Linda and see why she send it to me in the first place."
"Yeah you're right...Maybe she did it to get your attention" Said Gerald
"I don't know and I don't care, I just want Helga back....I'm going to find a way to talk to her.... Gerald what else did you saw when Helga was with that jerk?" Asked Arnold.
"Mmmm nothing" Replied Gerald thoughtful
"Gerald you have to tell me everything, I trust in you."
"I hate it when you pull the trust card on me..... shish.... Helga hugged Andrew."
"What! She actually hugged him!" Yelled Arnold
"Yep" Replied Gerald's
"And where were his hands Gerald?! Asked Arnold with a stressful tone
"Man Arnold you want to know everything.... next your going to ask me if he kissed her."
"HE WHAT!" Shouted Arnold
"No man I'm kidding calm down he didn't kiss her, he just put his hands on her waist that's all." Said Gerald very fast
"That's all!!! That bastard!!!" Arnold was mad
"Wow man you are pissed you don't curse unless...well unless is about Helga."
"I need to fix this, I can't let Andrew take her from me." Said Arnold
"Okay man but what ever you do, be smart about it, you want Helga to like you, not to hate you."
"I know Gerald...I'll tell you one thing, I won't give up on her." Said Arnold trying to calm down.

That night while Helga slept she dream of a long hall way dark with lots of doors, she was scare and confused the more she walk in the hall the longest it got, then she heard Arnold talking to her "Helga, Helga!" She followed the voice and open one of the doors, She was in Arnold's room she could see herself laying on the bed and Arnold telling her...
"Helga wake up, please wake up, I can't lose you...I love you!"  Helga sighs and closed the door.

Then she heard French music playing from another door, she open it and saw herself and Arnold at Chez Paris restaurant seating at a table, Arnold was holding her hand and Helga was saying "I like you Arnold, do you like me too?" and he answered "of course I like you, actually I like you so much that I can say that...I love you Helga, I know it's you it's always been you." Replied Arnold still holding her hand. Helga closed that door and saw Arnold in the hallway, he grabbed her hand and placed it on top of his heart and said "You know the truth, you know what's in my heart...you are my greatest treasure" and he kiss her.

Helga woke up from her dream and begging to cry in silence.
