THE REUNION
I loooove Hey Arnold and have done since it first aired in 1996 and being old I was well 12 or so when it started haha so yeah guess my age if you want but I like to watch, read and try to draw Hey arnold stuff and adore Helga and Arnold. I like the way Helga dreams of her wedding with Arnold and is actually sweet to him which makes me think perhaps when they are married and come on they would have married eventually, that she would not be a bitch to him, but as far as everyone else is concerned even Geraldo she would probably stay cold and well pretty rude but who cares? she has arnold and a quick note, my fics will have her with Arnold, no surpries there. I may add gloria, arnie and lila to the story too. Oh and Jason (chocolate boy) for fun, just what will he be addicted to now?
Well here is my First fic and I warn you its going to be a long one.
A lot of chapters and as many characters as I can fit in and remember as I have H.A on my freeview record (which is kind of like Tivo) and lots of fanfiction which has been okay, but some of it is very OOC but then again we can all only guess how the class of Mr Simmons Fourth grade class would grow up to act like.
Anyway that's my shpeil I'll end now and begin.
NO Reviews telling me I dont know my H.A because I will rain down yahoo sodas on your head LoL OR send monkey man after you HAHA!
PS Craig bartett is a Genuis. xoxoxo

THE REUNION
The kids of Hillview are all grown up and MR Simmons has invited his most favored fourth grade class of PS118 to a big reunion. Its been 15 years so alot has changed. Who is married? who is successful? who are not even friends anymore and who is not invited but comes along anyway. A funny read with some real sad, fluffy and angst thrown in. (look out for Chocolate boy)
info
Miles and Stella are Arnold's parents
Aunt Mitzi (voiced by Phyllis Diller) – Arnold's great aunt, Phil's twin sister and childhood rival. She is . DEAD NOW, not in this fic.
Eduardo (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) - Eduardo is an anthropologist from a fictional Central American Republic of San Lorenzo. He was friends with Arnold's parents, Miles and Stella, and helped them during their expeditions in San Lorenzo. He is the last person to ever talk to Arnold's parents before they disappeared into the dense jungles.
Now lets begin...
Arnold stood outside the auditorium of PS118.
"Trust the throw pillow to hold a reunion at the school." His wife snorted.
"I think its appropriate." Mr shortman replied.
Helga folded her arms and pulled a face.
"I don't even know why you dragged me here ." "We are the obviously the last to arrive and Im cold and its dark."
Arnold gave his wife a very familiar look, a look that said "I know you so well."
"You want to go in I know it sweetheart." "Admit it."
Helga sighed. "Fine." "Do not expect me to like it or anything."
Arnold took his wife's hand and led her inside...
"I cant believe we are doing this." She said under her breath.
Flashback
Arnolds room.
Helga lay across her boyfriends bed in her silky pink , observing the photos displayed on his wall.
There was a picture blown up and framed of Arnold with the mayor of hillview, one of him with Dino spumoni and the jolly olly man. There was even a picture of him eating ice cream with the illusive Monkey man at nine years old.
Arnold walked in with two hot chocolates.
"Sheesh with all those loonies and important people on your wall Arnold," "You should be some sort of psychiatrist or god will ambassador." Helga smirked.
She wasn't completely joking. At sixteen years old Arnold had already helped many people in the hill view community not to mention his peers at high school such as Eugine when he came out of the closet and Wolfgang and his croonies wanted to beat the crap out of him. There was the time Nadine and Rhonda had a major falling out when Nadine started showing more interest in bugs and wildlife than clothes and fashion and Arnold "helped" Rhonda realize that everyone is different and that does not mean they cannot still be good friends. Oh and most importantly was his girlfriend, the one who had helped him find his parents with Eduardo in the Jungle. Helga Geraldine Pataki, the girl who mocked and made fun but hid a fiery passion in her heart for the kind spirited football head finally caved as did Arnold when they were both ten years old and shared an awkward kiss.
Arnold remembered there first date at twelve years old. They ate pizza and saw a film. Helga actually wore her hair down and clung onto Arnolds arm the entire time. Arnold had been attracted to Ruth for awhile but she was so self absorbed and rude he quickly saw sense and the perfect Lila Sawyer from her little pleasant ville community only liked liked him despite feeling a bit jealous when Helga and Arnold started going on dates together. She quickly got over it and would often ask Arnold to call his dopey cousin Arnie so she could "Visit" him, these visits usually consisted of nothing more than sex but it was justifiable to the doe eyed couple...
Arnold sat beside his girlfriend and sipped his drink.
"So you think I should be a psychiatrist?" he asked.
Helga chuckled. "Well lord knows I'm a basket case and you have been there for me with my..." Helga couldnt finish her words as thoughts of her brutal father always stopped her from speaking.
Arnold placed his soft hand on her face. "You had to be emancipated from him sweetie." "It was for the best."
Helga let a couple of tears fall down her cheeks. "Bastard." she whispered, thinking of the violent man who started beating her when Miriam went to get "Clean and sober" and live with Olga in Los Angeles.
Arnold pressed his lips against Helgas and told her she was not a basket case. They started to have a little fumble under the covers until Helga felt "Satisfied" then she fell asleep cuddling her boyfriend tightly.
Arnold was about to let his eye lids droop when he noticed a torn up piece of paper on the floor, he leaned over to pick it up, making sure he did not rouse Helga. His eyes widened. This torn paper was a little piece of Helgas journal from last year, she had ripped to pieces when she moved in with Arnold and legally left her father Bob forever.
Arnold read with sadness in his teal eyes.
Arnold is so sweet, no one knows how much I love him, Crimeny I dont think he even does.
Its so embarrassing having to hide the bruises on my arms, my back and my legs. Ive been suffering in physical pain for over two years now. My body aches when I lay down. Bob is a bastard, he is beyond a bastard. My purple arms are witness to that. Arnold noticed quickly when I winced at his gentle touches and hugs. The most awful moment that will linger in my memory was when I knocked on his parents door, they didn't make me sneak in, they just opened the door and let me see Arnold. I was such a pathetic mess with tears on my face. He asked me to lift up my shirt, oh how my face went red when I did. His shock at the blue and purple marks across my hips and upper back spoke volumes to me. The red marks from Bobs belt hurt the most but when Arnold dabbed them with ointment the sting felt good and the gentle soothing cream he placed around my sores was a breath of fresh air. I imagine its because HE did it. My angel and knight in shining Armour came to save me and clean me up. I felt like a child lifting my hands up while he got his mother Stella to bandage me up, wrapping each layer round and round. I admit it felt better laying down without pain. Arnold had left two advil and a yahoo soda on what he called "My side" of the bed. How sweet could someone be? I doubt on earth, no in this vast universe that there is anyone as caring and considerate as he. His parents are so lovely, I am so thrilled for my darling that we were able to find them and they decided to come back. Phil, the old coot is still plodding around, telling his war stories and going on about his evil sister "Rest her soul" he would always say at the end. Well I should stop writing. My hands are tired. Arnold is bringing my homework in for me since I can't go to school today. I had to be checked out by a nurse where Miles works. Arnold might be home soon, so Ill write more later. xo xo Helga xo xo
He folded the beautifully written piece and placed it in his pajama pocket. He would keep this in a secret place in his drawer that Helga could not find because she would be too embarrassed and throw it in the trash or burn it like she did the other journal from that time in her life.
He was glad she had started writing again. As he went to sleep that night he felt better for Helga sleeping soundly. She did not have as many night terrors anymore and now that Arnold knew just how much Helga loved him it did swell his heart just a little...
So this brings us back to the present, the Reunion which Arnold and Helga are about to enter.
What do you think?
I enjoyed writing this, I hope whoever reads this likes it and enjoys reading about the other characters.
I also have another fic in progress too, so look out for that.
