Here's another Hey Arnold story that I currently brainstormed! It's in the pre-stages right now, but when I get time for it, I'll post more chapters! Depends on what you all think of it. Anyway, enjoy!

It all began on a Tuesday, directly after school, over at a familiar baseball field. All the fourth graders were gathered around for a baseball game as Helga was yelling her usual commands. "Come on, people, move it or lose it! Football head, you're up to bat!"

Arnold nodded as he took the bat. "Okay... let's hope I haven't gotten too rusty..."

Harold, pitching, gave a smirk as he held on tight to the ball. "Okay, Ah-nold, let's see you try hitting this one!"

Arnold narrowed his eyes, whacking his bat on the plate as Helga just rolled her eyes at the sight. Nearby, the extra fourth graders on the field were watching the practice as Lila and Lorenzo were sharing popcorn with each other.

"Must you two do that?" Peapod Kid asked as he sighed.

"Come on, give them a break." Rhonda smiled. "Ever since Lila and Lorenzo started going out, things have been getting a little different around the area."

"Tell me about it." Tucker said, watching from the bench... as Arnold hit the ball right to Nadine, who caught it with ease.

"Hm... who knew that Nadine would have a great ball arm?" Rhonda said as everybody kept watching.

"I do agree with you, Rhonda, she is pretty good at what she does." Lila smiled upon eating her popcorn.

"Yeah..." Rhonda sighed as she looked at Nadine, who seemed to be enjoying herself, smiling. "You know, I never noticed, but Nadine has a lot more fun in the sporting events than anything else."

"Believe me, I've noticed." Peapod Kid said as he and Tucker watched Nadine, the both of them sighing.

Rhonda raised an eyebrow, looking between the two of them. "You two okay?"

"We're totally fine." Tucker smiled, watching Nadine throw the ball back.

"Why do you ask?" Peapod Kid said as Arnold went back to the bench.

"No reason." Rhonda said as Arnold looked over.

"Okay, Rhonda, your turn." Arnold said.

"Thanks, Arnold." Rhonda said as she gave a little smooth rub on his cheek. "You tried your best."

"Yeah, but nobody can beat out Nadine's catching arm." Arnold said as Rhonda went up to bat.

Arnold then heard Tucker Wittenberg and Peapod Kid sighing happily as he looked at the two. Arnold raised an eyebrow as he turned to Lorenzo and Lila. "Is there something WRONG with these guys?"

"I don't know." Lila shrugged. "They seem to enjoy Nadine playing, though..."

That put Arnold in mere thought as he looked at the two fourth graders, looking at Nadine, smiling happily towards her as Nadine caught the ball.

"Heh, good job, Spidine! You have the catching arm, all right!" Helga smirked as she patted Nadine on the back.

"Thanks, Helga!" Nadine nodded as she threw the ball back to Harold.

Gerald, who went up to bat next, frowned as he said, "You know, Helga, I can't stand the fact that you always choose Nadine on your team!"

Helga shrugged. "What can I say, she's awesome in sports."

"And bug-catching." Nadine smirked. "But sports are a good forte!"

"Athletic and smart..." Tucker smiled.

"Yeah... what can you ask for in a girl..." Peapod Kid smiled.

Their eyes then linked towards each other as they gave a slight frown. They turned away from each other as Tucker crossed his arms.

It was then Arnold made a quick connection on what was going on... and it seems it wasn't that good.

It was a little later after the practice game and everybody was heading towards home as Arnold agreed to walk Rhonda back home.

"Thanks for escorting me back home, Arnold. You are such a gentleman." Rhonda smiled.

"It's no trouble at all, Rhonda." Arnold smiled towards his rich friend. "But actually, I have a slight question for you. How have you and Nadine been getting along?"

"Oh, all right, I guess." Rhonda shrugged. "I mean, we have our slight differences, but that's fine. Isn't a good friendship what counts?"

"Yeah... anyway, I was wondering, is Nadine currently seeing anybody?" Arnold asked, out of mere curiosity.

Rhonda's eyes widened as she turned to Arnold. "Why, Arnold! You're not thinking about going out with Nadine!"

"No, no, no, she's a cool girl, but she's not my type." Arnold said. "No, actually, when I was sitting down at the bench, I noticed Tucker and Peapod Kid looking at Nadine, and smiling to themselves. When they looked at each other for a minute, they looked like they were jealous."

Rhonda paused. "Hmmm... Tucker and Peapod Kid... hmmm..." Her eyes widened. "Oh, I think I know what's going on! You think both Tucker and Peapod Kid are crushing on Nadine?"

"From the looks on their faces, they seem to be attracted to her..." Arnold said.

"Now that you've mentioned it, Arnold, I have seen Peapod Kid acting differently around Nadine ever since the whole marriage origami predictor thing." Rhonda said as Arnold blushed.

"And I've noticed Tucker and Nadine together in basketball practices every time I pass by the particular area, talking." Arnold said. "It seems that..."

"...we have a love triangle on our hands?" Rhonda paused. "Well... that is a very interesting possibility."

"Yeah..." Arnold sighed. "You know, seeing these two looking at Nadine, then looking at each other in jealousy... I don't know who might win..."

"...I could ask Nadine tomorrow on what she looks for in a boy." Rhonda smiled. "That seems to be the possibility."

"...that's a good idea. You tell me what her answer is at recess tomorrow, and we'll team up to see how much Tucker and Peapod like Nadine!" Arnold smiled.

"Awesome idea, Arnold!" Rhonda smiled as the two arrived back at the mansion. "Well, there's my place. Thanks for escorting me home, Arnold! See you tomorrow?"

"Sure thing!" Arnold said as he started to walk off.

As Rhonda waved good-bye towards Arnold, she gave a really good smile as she went inside. "Arnold is really a nice guy... I wonder if he can agree to go with me..."

Rhonda shook her head as she said, "On the other hand... I wonder who Nadine likes... Peapod Kid... or Tucker Wittenberg? Hmmm..."
