Hey, folks! Still waiting on WiFi, unfortunately, BUT I do have the final chapter of this fic all written up and ready. Anyway, enjoy!

"One thing I don't get." Helga said as she and the three girls were going out of the gym. "Rhonda, you totally had a chance to gossip about my secret! Why didn't you?"

"And ruin your life?" Rhonda said in surprise. "Look, Helga, I may be a gossip queen in my own right... and I COULD have revealed the secret... but I couldn't do it, because... because..."

"Why?" Helga asked.

"I think it's because Rhonda realizes that it's too much of a secret to keep." Nadine explained. "She knows that it would hurt you if this secret got out in public... especially if Arnold heard it."

"No, that's not it!" Rhonda rolled her eyes. "It's because you haven't actually provoked me!"

Helga raised an eyebrow as she rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever you say, princess."

"Just know, Helga, one wrong move, and that secret is going out like the dickens!" Rhonda rolled her eyes.

"Only if you don't cross me, otherwise, I reveal your crush on Curly." Helga frowned.

Rhonda sighed. "Okay, deal."

"Come on, we are getting close to the outside world!" Phoebe growled as she stopped by her locker and pulled out a huge book. "I never thought I would use this, but... this is going to come in handy now, wouldn't it?"

"Here we go, here we go!" Gerald said as an entire crowd was watching from the sides, interested to see how the two broken friendships would play out. "Let's see, who goes down? Girly Girls or Tomboys!"

The doors then opened as Helga, Phoebe, Rhonda and Nadine walked out, giving big smiles to each other.

Gerald blinked in confusion as he frowned. "What gives? They're supposed to be tearing each other apart!"

"Oh Gerald..." Arnold said as he walked over. "It looks like I win my bet."

"WHAT!?" Gerald said in confusion... before Gerald turned to see Helga, Phoebe, Rhonda and Nadine pulling out some big objects... Helga curling her fists, Phoebe holding a large book, Rhonda held on to some lipstick as Nadine held up some rope.

"Yep... got back together... and working together to stop you." Arnold said as he picked up the cash. "Okay, everyone, come with me to the side, I'll give each of you your money back."

As everyone else, disappointed that they lost the bet, followed Arnold to get a refund, Gerald smiled nervously as he started to back away three steps. The four girls started following. Gerald then pulled out a white flag, smiling nervously.

Phoebe, frowning, opened her book and pointed to a large page she printed on there herself.

Gerald squinted as he read the words.

"Start running, boy."

Gerald's eyes squinted as he started to run off, screaming and screaming as Helga, Phoebe, Rhonda and Nadine began following. The last Arnold saw of Gerald and the girls was them being chased around in a building.

Later that day, in front of Arnold's boarding house, Arnold was getting ready to go out to Harold's to do a project when he heard a rustle in the garbage cans.

Arnold frowned as he turned. "Whoever's in my garbage cans, please come out!"

Gerald peeked out of the garbage can as Arnold frowned. "Oh, hello, Gerald."

"Hey, man!" Gerald gave a warm smile.

"So, how did your rendezvous with the girls go?" Arnold asked.

Gerald laughed a bit as he got out of the garbage can. "Are you kidding? It was great! They were chasing me around and around, and then they cornered me! They were about to move in... but THEN, I launched a counterattack! I showered them with lefts and rights! I'm moving in for the coup de gracie! And Helga, Rhonda and Nadine were cowering, nearly groveling at my feet! And Phoebe realizes that I'm too cute to be hurt, so she begs for forgiveness! Of course, I forgave her!"

"Uh-huh..." Arnold said, not believing a word of Gerald's story as he saw Helga, Phoebe, Rhonda and Nadine rounding a corner, Nadine having a lasso ready. "And, did that kiss between you and Phoebe happen?"

"Well... I wouldn't say it was a kiss, more of a peck..." Gerald started as Nadine threw the lasso at Gerald's neck, then roped him right over to the girls as he yelped.

Arnold just watched as Helga punched Gerald right in the face. Arnold just nodded as he said, "That's the story."

"Well, what should we do with him?" Helga asked as Phoebe took the rope from Nadine.

"I say we give him a huge makeover..." Rhonda smirked.

"Yeah... let him show his feminine side a little..." Phoebe giggled. "Of course, let's take it easy on the guy."

"Right, we know you have a little crush on him." Nadine laughed. "We'll only let him go when he's learned his lesson! Once he does... arcade, anyone?"

"Yeah!" The girls nodded as the four girls started to drag Gerald off to Phoebe's house, all tied up as Gerald groaned. "They're begging for mercy... I'm killing them, I'm-"

Arnold shook his head as he decides to walk over to Harold's, knowing that once again, friendships had been restored, thanks to him.

As for Helga, Phoebe, Rhonda and Nadine, although Helga and Rhonda had the occasional squabbles, they eventually grew to a good friendship like they did with Phoebe and Nadine. And these four girls would eventually do more things together as time went on, even if they were in the same or different pairs.

And whenever they looked back at their little partner switch they had, they would remember and laugh... it was, indeed, a good time for all the girls.

Orange Ratchet Story

"That's All, Folks!"

An Orange-Ratchet Fanfiction

And thus ends another story! What do you guys think? I could have done a lot more with the whole switch-er-roo, but I figured ten chapters was plenty enough... and as some of you pointed out, it would have made for a good episode of Hey Arnold. So I'm glad I managed to get something along the lines of that! Well, I'll be continuing my other fics, hopefully soon! Don't miss out! Anyway, thank you all for reading this fic, and have a great day!
