Here's the first chapter of another new Hey Arnold fanfiction! Just a little early start to something, hope it catches on pretty good! Anyway, enjoy!

Inside the confides of PS 118, Helga and Rhonda were having a glaring contest as Helga said, "And I say these old boots are not in!"

"Oh, really Helga, you are so wrong!" Rhonda frowned. "Those glamourous glow-in-the-dark boots are the new style!"

Nearby, Nadine and Phoebe were watching as Nadine groaned. "Seriously, these two have been at it ever since the whole banana incident."

"An incident that'll never die." Phoebe shuddered. "I still think about the peels used from the battle..."

Nadine sighed. "Indeed. Phoebe, how the heck can you stand Helga?"

"You have to be in her shoes and understand her feelings, but she's not that bad of a person." Phoebe smiled. "I mean, you have potential, Nadine. And yet, you're always in Rhonda's shadow."

"What's wrong with being Rhonda's friend?" Nadine asked.

"Well... have you ever done anything you liked when Rhonda's around?" Phoebe asked.

"A couple of times, but other than that... we mostly did things she liked." Nadine sighed.

"And when you were alone... you liked doing your own things, right?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah..." Nadine sighed, smiling. Then she recovered as she asked, "What about you, Phoebe? You ever do your things with Helga?"

"Most times... some times... not all the time... but me and Helga do a lot of friend stuff." Phoebe smiled. "I'm mostly her go-to girl... but whenever I'm alone... you know me, I'm a studious student."

"I see." Nadine smiled. "Oh, Phoebe, if only you understood what it was like being Rhonda's friend..."

"And if only you knew more about Helga..." Phoebe paused... as both of them snapped their fingers.

The two of them whispered to each other and nodded as they got an idea. They quickly turned to the still arguing Helga and Rhonda.

"And I SAY that the world should revolve around me!" Helga frowned, both of them not sure what the original argument was anymore.

"And I SAY that the world should have a good name for me afterwards!" Rhonda glared.

"Hey, Helga, Rhonda." Nadine smiled. "Me and Phoebe want to trade partners. Me with Helga, Phoebe with Rhonda. That cool with you girls?"

"Fine! Whatever!" Helga and Rhonda frowned as they turned to the two of them for a brief moment, then went back to their glaring contest.

"Great!" Phoebe smiled. "Okay, I'll meet you over by your locker, Rhonda."

"And I'll see you over by your locker, Helga." Nadine said as the two of them walked off.

Helga and Rhonda were still having that glare contest... when both of them finally realized the words that Phoebe and Nadine just said.

"Wait a minute... switch partners?" Helga said in confusion.

"Nadine is with who?" Rhonda said in shock.

Over near the lockers, Phoebe was waiting as Rhonda came up to her, sighing. Rhonda groaned, "Not how I wanted to start my week..."

Rhonda coughed as she turned to Phoebe. "Very well, Phoebe. You're with me now, so, we may as well get a few ground rules out of the way. Rule One, always agree with what I say, even if you're right."

"That should be simple." Phoebe smiled.

"Rule Two, if we're going to be friends for a while, at least change into different outfits once in a while." Rhonda explained as Phoebe started taking notes.

"Hm-mm..." Phoebe nodded.

"Rule Three, as your friend, I'm always going to be the fashion girl!" Rhonda smirked. "So, I'm naturally all in."

"Okay, Rhonda. Perfectly reasonable." Phoebe nodded.

Rhonda smiled as she turned to Phoebe. "Great! So... I guess we start hanging out, then?"

"I'm following you, Rhonda." Phoebe smiled.

"All right. Come on, Phoebe, let's go to class together." Rhonda said as the two started to go off.

"Going!" Phoebe chirped adorably.

Rhonda paused as she stopped Phoebe. "Oh, Rule Four... you don't have to do the little thing you would usually do when given a command. It may be adorable, but I want to treat my friends as fair as I can."

"Oh, okay. Sorry, Rhonda." Phoebe said, looking down.

"No, no, don't be sorry. You just didn't know." Rhonda said, being a little gentle with her voice. "Now, why don't we go to class?"

"Go- I mean, okay, Rhonda." Phoebe smiled as the two started to go together.

"Great! I usually have Phoebe with me in case I need an Arnold situation fixed!" Helga groaned as she started to march off. "I never had any others I can trust... especially not Nadine!"

Helga groaned. "I just hope I get a good day started..."

Helga then looked up to see Nadine next to Helga's locker. Helga frowned as she came over to Nadine. "Listen you little bug freak, even if I don't have Phoebe, and you don't have Rhonda, it doesn't mean my demeanor will change, okay? You follow my commands, my rules, got it?"

"And if I don't?" Nadine raised an eyebrow out of curiosity.

"You'll have to answer to Old Betsy and the Five Avengers." Helga smirked as she held up a fist.

"Hmmm... that's a strong hand you got, Helga." Nadine complimented, surprising Helga.

"Really?" Helga said in surprise.

"Yeah, a pretty good boxing hand, in fact. Have you ever considered a career in boxing?" Nadine asked.

Helga gave a small smile. "Oh, well, I may have seen a few boxing matches when my dad had them on TV..."

"Cool..." Nadine smiled. "I was more of a baseball fan myself. I never played a whole lot of it, though, mainly because Rhonda preferred to watch than play the sport. She does like playing sports, but not a whole lot."

"Wow..." Helga said as the two of them started walking. "You like sports?"

"I've always been a big fan." Nadine smiled.

"Tell me more." Helga said as the two started to go off to class. "I'm starting to get intrigued."

Helga smiled as she listened to Nadine talk about sports, thinking, "Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought..."
