Songfic Story 2

Helga looked out the window of Mighty Pete, the tree swaying slightly in the breeze of the October morning. In fact, it was the morning of October 5. The day Arnold always disappeared for the entire day. On this day, he always spent it sulking in his sorrow about losing his parents.  Even away from her. She stared out the window, her hands clenching into fists as she grew more and more frustrated with his self-pity.

"Why can't he move on? He promised to meet me here." Helga's face turned into a scowl as she looked back down the street, hoping to see the figure of her love coming toward their meeting spot. She had promised to make him feel better, to try to make him have a wonderful day just with her. She had hoped to keep him from thinking about them so he might finally grow up and move on from this ridiculous charade.

She threw up her hands and turned around. She just wished she could spend this day with him. He was so depressed. All she wanted to do was make him feel better. She brought out her locket.

"Arnold, please show up" she said to the locket, looking at it with the familiar longing that she had when she had been younger. She heard footsteps on the ladder. Putting her locket down, she looked at the door to the clubhouse to see a familiar football-shaped head climb to the top.

Helga scowled a little and crossed her arms. Arnold stood up and faced her, his face red from the tears he had no doubt been shedding beforehand. He wiped his face and smiled slightly.

"Hi Helga" whispered Arnold. Helga's face smoothed over from her scowl and changed into a smile. He had come. She uncrossed her arms and lightly punched his shoulder.

"Thank you Arnold for coming. I missed you" said Helga as she hugged him. Arnold held her as well, his smile widening.

"Now why would I be without you for even one day?"
