THE HOOK UP PLAN

SATURDAY

As he dropped her off at Phoebe's house Arnold took Helga aside and said "so I'll pick you guys up at Five O'clock tomorrow?"

As she caressed his cheek Helga dreamily hummed a yes in reply

Arnold wrapping an arm around her waist smiled as he brought her close for a hug, she looked up at him still not believing that this is reality.

They kissed good night, and she happily watched him drive within distance

Phoebe giggled as she watched her tough best friend turn into mush, she lead her to her room, and then

"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

Giggling Phoebe showed her, her arm "pay back"

"Hey I warned you, and you still stared at Geraldo, I had to pinch you"

"Oh, no Helga I think that you're still mad at me for slapping you when we saw Lila's house back in fourth grade"

Keeping her sly smile Helga said, "talking about Lila I still can't believe what she was doing to Eugene at the mall?"

"I know even Rhonda thought she was crazy, poor guy"

Setting up her sleeping bag Helga said "man, I cant believe you guys got Rhonda involved in helping out for Geraldo's Birthday Party on Tuesday"

Shyly Phoebe said "Well we needed her, you wouldn't believe the crazy ideas Arnold had this morning" shaking her head she said "he's going to be 17 not 7"

"hahaha so he told you about the cowboy thing" while Phoebe nodded a yes Helga rubbed her chin as in thought "well that's good, just keep talking to him about the Party Pheebs, Gerald is real jealous right now"

Giggling Phoebe asked, "do you really think so?"

Now laying on her sleeping bag with her arms behind her head Helga said "yup, I..."

Her sentence was in cut short by Phoebe's cell phone ringing, as Phoebe walked over to check on the caller I.D she jumped with joy, not knowing what to do "It's Gerald, It's Gerald he's calling me! Oh Helga, what should I do? What should I dooooo?"

As Phoebe was about to pick up, Helga ran over to stop her "no, Pheebs don't answer it yet"

Giving her a confused look Phoebe said "but why"

Phoebe frowned when the Phone stopped ringing but all Helga could say was "I just want to know something, trust me on this one Pheebs"

The Phone started to ring again, and making Helga cute puppy eyes she answered when given approval

Phoebe held her Phone tightly while saying Hello in Japanese

Nevously saying "Hey Phoebe, um..." not knowing what to say Gerald asked, "How are you?"

Phoebe looked up at Helga and decided to put her Phone in speaker "I'm" she paused for a second and said, "good, how are you feeling?"

Gerald embarrassed by Phoebe's knowledge of his pain answered "um good"

All of a sudden the phone went into an awkward silence

Gerald started to get a little worried and asked "so um what movie are we going to see tomorrow"
