"aha!" yelled Helga as she pushed a strand of golden hair, that got out of her pigtail, behind her ear, "it's finally here! I've been waiting for this forever!" bends down and grabs a packedge off her stoop, and runs upstairs to her room. she bolts into her newly redecorated room, tosses the packedge on her bed, and gets up on the bed tucking her feet underneithe her. "I hope this is what I think it is!" begins to unrap the fairly large packedge, revealing a box, the kind of box that usually holds music boxes, "yes!" opens the box, and her jaw drops in amazment, "it's wondrful!" there in the box, was a music box that was white, had two swans curving their necks so it looked like they wre making a heart, and in the middle of their beaks there was a heart covered in flowers.
"is everything allright in there, Helga?" asked Meriam banging on the door.
"yes, Meriam!" said Helga, very annoyed as usual.
"ok then. I'm going to be downstairs if you need me, ok Helga?"
"whatever!"
"ok." said Meriam walking down the stairs.
"*sigh* I can't believe how long those shipping people take, I was about to cancle on acount of slowness!" Helga said, rubbing the swan on the left with the back of her finger. this will never be us, thought Helga as a lump formed in her throut as if she was about to cry. she clenched the music box tight to her as a water fall of tears overwhelmed her face. why won't I ever tell him? she wondered. why why why? she gets up and walks over to her night stand, setting the beautiful music box on it. "can't you ever tell him Helga ol' girl?" she asked herself, but she didn't answer herself.
the phone rings and right away Helga runs over to the phone and answers, "hello?" she said in her normal tone, as if she hadn't been crying.
"hello Helga, I was wondering if you knew where I left my math book?" asked the person on the other line, obviously Pheobe.
"no, sorry Pheebs. you can borrow mine though." said Helga more calmly than before.
"thats ok Helga, I have to find mine. want to help me look?"
"sure Pheebs I'll help you find it. where do you want to meet...here or your house?"
"lets go strait to the school, I don't want to waste any time!"
"ok then...I'll see you in a few Pheebs!" said Helga hanging up the phone. she gos over and grabs her jacket off the hanger and runs out her room door, slamming it so hard that it bounced back open a little ways.
ok, I haven't told you much about this fan-fic so far, so I'll tell you a little right here: it's when they're in 5th grade, Helga still loves Arnold, Pheobe and Gerald are starting to spend time together, and Lila still doesn't like-like Arnold, she just likes him. that should be enuff information for now! I'll return to it.
"ok Helga, where did I last leave my book?" said Pheobe as she runs up next to Helga from getting off the bus.
"I don't know I'm not the one that lost it!" Helga said angrily, flinging her arms up in the air makeing her jacket's sleeves fall down to her elbows.
"I'm sorry Helga, but I thought you might have known. lets go see inside." said Pheobe grabing her best freinds hand, and starts to walk inside.
"thats ok Pheobe. I'm sorry too, I'm just a little tired of my obsetion for 'ice cream', thats all."
Pheobe stops and looks up at Helga, "you're tired of it?" she asked.
"it's driving me crazy, Pheebs!" Helga retorted, grabbing her hand away from Pheobe and she rips off her bow. "it's driving me so crazy that I can't stand it any longer!" she throws the bow to the floor, and flips her hair so it looks like it hasn't been brushed for a few days.
"so, what are you going to do about it?" asked Pheobe kind of concerned.
"I'm going to throw away my shrine, my poams, and my locket in order to..." she said pausing to take a deep breath, "...get over him."
Pheobe gasps at hearing 'get over him', "Helga, are you sure?" she asked, worriedly.
"Pheobe, I have to face the music! he loves Lila, not me!" Helga said pulling a hairbrush out of her pocket and starts to brush her hair out making it look beautiful. "is that ok with you that I gave up? cause I know you probably want me to keep trying to get Arnold-"
"it's ok Helga!" said Pheobe interrupting Helga. "I don't want you to give up, but if it's what you want I'll try and help you!"
"thanks Pheobe, I really do need help with this."
"don't mention it! now lets please find my book!"
they serch for hours with no luck so they deside to give up and go home.
"thanks for helping me try to find it Helga. it's a bummer we didn't find it though." said Pheobe very disapointed.
"yeah, well atleast now you can help me get over my obsetion! hey, wait..." begins to dig around in her backpack and feels something that shouldn't be there, "I think I just found your book Pheebs!" she pulls out a small book that says 'Pheobe Hyerdaul' on the front. (I can't spell Pheobe's last name, can I? lol!)
"yes, thats it!" said Pheobe grabbing the small green book from Helga, "I wonder how it got in there?"
"I don't know. well, see ya Pheebs!" Helga said as she runs up the stairs of her stoop.
"bye Helga!" yelled Pheobe because she was running down the sidewalk and she was pretty far from hearing range of Helga.
