I DON'T OWN HEY ARNOLD

Authors Notes

Hey guys sorry I didn't upload yesterday I was busy finishing up a school project and all my packets for my other classes. But like always GET ON WITH THE STORY

Enjoy!

Arnold and Helga didn't even notice that Rhonda and their friends were at the window staring at both of them with wide eyes. Both of them were too busy eating their banana split to notice anyone else around them.

Outside, The others couldn't believe what they have just witnessed so they told Rhonda they were going to head home early. Rhonda stayed at the window for a while looking back thinking of what she had done and thought, Watch was coming your way pataki because revenge is right down the hall....., Rhonda then walked back home.

Meanwhile, Arnold and Helga finished their banana split,

Arnold said, "Helga? Ummm I know I don't really need to ask this but.....can I hold your hand when we walk, I want to make this day special for both of us." Then Arnold gave Helga one of his smiles that makes Helga feel warm inside.

Helga said, "Alright Arnold-o if you say so."

They both walked out of Slausens once Arnold payed for the ice cream, Arnold starting feeling the butterflies in his stomach and the goosebumps down his arms. He never felt as happy as he did today, I mean sure they just shared ice cream after school is all but Arnold wanted to make this a night Helga never forgets. Helga couldn't help but glance to Arnold who had been thinking quietly to himself and not saying a word once they got outside.

Helga said, "Arnold? Do you also feel like somethings not right?"

Arnold looked at Helga worryingly and said, "What? No no I don't think so, unless you do."

Helga replied, "I think I saw someone at the window or something while we were inside and I don't know its just..... I feel like they were probably one of our classmates."

Arnold honestly didn't think that people could possibly have been by the door because he didn't hear or see anything.

Arnold said, "Helga look, maybe it was just your imagination is all, don't worry about our classmates, besides if they do find out, Who cares? We are both happy and that's all that matters. We are the ones who are happy while they are just jealous of us is all. Helga to me, you mean the world and I'm willing to do anything for my love....."

Since both of them were still holding each others hands, Helga tightened her grip on his hand. Arnold then leaned to his right and kissed Helga's cheek to make her feel better about the situation.

Helga teared up when she hear Arnolds mini speech and had tears running down her eyes but Helga tried the most to hide it from Arnolds sight. She didn't want him to see her cry or see her as someone whos vulnerable and weak.

But Arnold noticed, stopped both of them from walking and said, "Helga please don't cry, I don't want to see you like this...."

Helga quickly looked Arnold and turned her head to her right looking down at the sidewalk. Arnold stopped both of them from walking and he faced her and held both of her hands intertwined in his.

Arnold told Helga softly, "Helga I know you're stronger than this, you shouldn't have to care what others say, only care about the people that care about you the most. I....I.....Love you more than anything out there, don't forget that Helga."

Helga let go of Arnolds hands and pulled him closer to her in a tight embrace. Arnold could feel the warm tears running down onto his jacket while her stood there feeling Helga shaking uncontrollably and tighten her arms around his neck. Arnold held onto Helga's waist and started to tear up a bit from how emotional Helga had become, he's never see this side to Helga ever. Arnold stayed in the embrace with Helga for a minute or two until they let go. Arnold stared at Helga who had some tears still running from her bright blue eyes in the night. Arnold used his hand to wipe away Helga tears and caress her cheek, he noticed how soft and delicate Helga was. Helga stared into Arnolds eyes and leaned towards him to give him a kiss, Arnold had went wide eyes for a few seconds but pulled Helga closer to him on the sidewalk, holding onto her waist. Luckily, no one was around during the time to see this heartwarming moment. Today for both of them was truly a day you can't forget. They let go of each other and Helga took his hand and they continued to walk to Helga's house.

Helga said, "Arnold....I'm sorry I did that.....I just.....its that I need someone to help me out you know, the thing is....no one has ever said anything like that to me before....about you know.....caring about me."

Arnold said, "Helga like I said before, I love you for you and you mean everything to me."

Helga noticed they both finally made it to Helga's Hell Hole of a home. Arnold was disappointed but he knew good things had to come to an end eventually.

Arnold said, "Helga I want to ask you something before you leave..."

Helga said, "What is it Arnold?"

Arnold said, "Well I wanted to know, Why do you love me, I know you said before you love me more than I know but why would someone as Talented, gifted, amazing, and over all Beautiful in every way possible love someone as normal and plain as me?"

Helga giggled and said, "Arnold, how could I not love the one who actually gave me hope in life, who inspires my work, and the one person who gave me my first complement and held an umbrella in the rain for me?"

Arnold blushed and looked down but couldn't believe what she had just told him. He is the one who makes her who she is. Arnold looked up to Helga who was on one step on the stoop of her house. Arnold reached up and held Helgas chin and gave a quick peck on her lips and looked and Helga with a grin he couldn't put away. He let go and told Helga her goodbye and went back home to the boarding house.
