Dream on,football head

You like who?!

Arnold yawns tiredly as he wakes up.Another night and still a Helga dream!Its not even like she was gone,she was here!You could say it was from the stress of first few weeks of school,but that would be lying. There's no denying it.Arnold was falling for Helga.But as for him being his dense self,he could never figure the simple things out.Rrring!Arnold picks up his phone groggily."Hello?""Yea buddy its Gerald,wanna hang out?"Gerald asks."Sure."Arnold replies."Great,I'll meet you at your stoop."Gerald says and hangs up.20 minutes later Arnold is clean dressed and full while he waits on his stoop."Hey buddy,look,I need to talk to you."Gerald says sitting next to him."Look,I already know you're dating Phoebe."Arnold interrupts.Gerald gains a flabbergasted look."H-how,how did you know?!"he asks."I'm your best friend,I know you Gerald."Arnold replies unamused;too caught up in what he had to tell Gerald."But I really have something important to tell you."Arnold says,turning serious."Sure,what is it buddy?"Gerald says and pulls a can of soda out of his hoodie pocket.He takes a nice long sip as Arnold starts talking."Well,for the past few weeks I've been getting little sleep because of these....dreams I've been having."Arnold starts"AWW HELL NAW,THIS BETTER NOT BE SOME FINAL DESTINATION SHIT!!"Gerald interrupts."Noo,and stop interrupting."Arnold says while Gerald takes another long sip."Anyway,the dream are always about...Helga.And when Helga came back,she just looked so pretty and nice to people,so I would also stay up late thinking about her.And now I've come to the conclusion.I think I like Helga."Arnold says.Pppffft!Gerald spits out his soda,chokes on it,and falls off the stoop coughing.When he settled down he exclaimed"YOU LIKE WHO?!!" "Please Gerald don't tell anybody,and I need your help!"Arnold pleas."Fine,since we're best friends,I will help you.But you have to follow my rules.Hmm this may be a little hard,matchmaking a Libra like you and an Aries..."Gerald doses off."BUT I CAN DO IT!"he exclaims taking the challenge."Thanks so much buddy!"Arnold exclaims."Our first session is tomorrow,since I have to do research on Libras and Aries."Gerald interrupts."Oh and Arnold?""Yes Gerald?" "You are one bold,bold,kid."He says.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"So you're dating Gerald huh?"Helga says unamused over the phone with Pheobe."Yes."Pheobe replies."Meh,I already knew.Its obvious."Helga says,not really paying attention.She was just really focused on painting her toenails glitter pink."---and Yadda Yadda Yadda dance blah blah Arnold?"Pheobe asks."Arnold?!"Helga asks.All she heard was 'Dance' and 'Arnold'."I said that there was an end-of-the-semester dance and it's the most important because this is the first dance where we get to bring dates.But mainly 8th graders are bringing dates.Are you thinking of asking Arnold?"Pheobe repeats."Oh,umm..."Helga starts as she looks around the room until she spots a picture of Olga."Well actually,I remember Olga telling me that boys are supposed to ask girls to dances.Not vise-versa." "Oh,well you're right.I should've though of that,but I'm already dating Gerald."Pheobe replies."Well,I have to go help my mom.Remember,call me when you want to figure out what you want to wear to the dance,Its in a week!"Pheobe says and hangs up."Ugh,Dance Dance Dance that's all everyone talks about!"Helga says to herself as she turns up her music and lets her toes dry.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Remember Arnold,be COOL.Dont panick or mess this up or she will think you're a loser, and laugh at you, and bully you again, and become the bane of everyone's existance."Arnold gives Gerald a dirty look."Too much?"he asks as they both walk up to Pheobe's locker.They see Pheobe and Helga giggling."Hey guys what's so funny?"Gerald asks."Oh nothing,just warning her about some....things."Helga replies giving Gerald a you-better-not-break-my-best-friend's-heart-or-i-will-kill-you-and-haven't-I-told-you-I-will-forever-hate-your-guts-if-you-hurt-her look."Oh."Gerald replies giving Helga a I-don't-know-what-game-you're-fooling-everyone-with-but-I-won't-be-fooled look.Helga knew exactly what that meant."I'm not playing any games"Helga accidentaly says out loud to Gerald.Pheobe and Arnold gets tense watching the scene unfold."Yes you are Pataki,and I won't be fooled."Gerald shoots back."Yea,right Geraldo.So while you think that,I'll be telling Pheobe things."she glares."You wouldn't dare.If you did I'll tell everyone about....the park."he spits back to her.Helga is suddenly hit with a strong,powerful memory.

It was raining day in October (25th to be exact). Helga was a now-5th-grader,and crying on a bench in the park.The rain flooded down on her,but she didn't care.This morning Bob got mad at her and screamed at her,she forgot her jacket,she got an F on her test, and she ruthlessly annoyed her love Arnold.She squeezed out more tears."Helga?"a voice asks."Arnold?!"she stutters."Are you okay?"he asks.'How can he be so nice?!'Helga thinks."Do I look okay Arnoldo?!Just leave me alone,go back to your perfect life where everyone loves you!"she snaps."I don't have a perfect life Helga."Arnold replies."I'm missing my parents,im an only child,and I feel like no one understands me" "well whatever Arnoldo,just leave me alone and go hunt for your lost parents."Helga replies.The she gasped at what she said,she didnt mean about the part with his parents.Arnold's face grows an angry blush,and gains a angry and hurt expression."No,no,no Arnold I didn't mea-""Fine Helga!If you want to be so mean and cruel,then so be it!I'll leave you alone and we'll never speak again OK?!"Arnold interrupts and storms away.As soon as he was out of earshot and sight,Helga burst into tears.The rain poured down even more, as her cries got louder."Helga?"a voice says."What?!"she snaps,and looks up to see Gerald."A-Are you crying?"he gasps."You are!"he exclaims."What the hell do you want Geraldo?!Haven't I been through enough?!"Helga snaps.'Woah, Helga cursed.'Gerald thinks.She must be serious,so Gerald decided to stop playing."So...what's wrong?"he asks."Nothing,and i swear if you tell anyone about-""I promise I won't."Gerald interrupts."Okay."Helga sighs.After about 30 minutes,Gerald knew everything.And I mean EVERYTHING."Alright.."Gerald starts."So you've been in love with my best friend for 6 years and ruthlessly tormented him,embarassed him,stalked him,and have done unexplainable things for him,all throught love?!"She nods."Ok,I need to lay down"He sighs."No,No,No!so what ima I gonna do?!"Helga exclaims."Don't worry,I'll speak to him and talk him out of hating you.Basically,I'll apologize for you.And all you have to do is sit here while it rains while I take a nap,right here,on this bench." Gerald says like an Italian from the mob.Helga looks at him funny."You've got to be kidding me!its pouring and you want to take a nap here?!Plus,you sound like an Italian from the mob!"she exclaims."Nope.now do you want to have Arnold speak to you or not?Plus I need you so no creeps come kidnap me."he replies.Helga sighs and nods.Gerald didn't even really want to nap on this bench but it was his payback for her hurting Arnold.Anyway,Gerald ends up going to sleep for 30 minutes until the sunset shines through the rain and it stops.The sunset was brilliant,and Gerald along with Helga watched soaking wet as it went down.After,they go their separate ways and Helga gets sick.But all is well.

"You wouldn't dare."Helga spits back as her memory fades away."I would,Patacki."Gerald grins back."You stupid..."Helga mumbles"Hey!"Arnold interrupts."B**ch."Gerald manages to slip out to her."At least you know thats right."Helga starts."But that still doesn't explain why you can't realize that you suck--""ALRIGHT!"Pheobe interrupts."That is enough,the two of you!Stop!"She says."Let's just get to class."she hisses and gives Helga a look to leave along with Gerald and Arnold.The group of four then goes to class.
