And so, it has come to this. I'm going to be ending my new 'Oh Rhonda!' story right here... but not before finishing off with a final chapter, so let's enjoy this together, shall we? Anyway, enjoy!

(CANON UNIVERSE)

Meanwhile, back in the other universe, Helga was sitting near the steps of Curly's place as she tapped her feet impatiently. Curly then peeked out with a smile on his face.

"Hopefully, you have something good." Helga said as Curly came out, coughing.

"Helga Pataki, may I introduce my brand new invention... the Dimensional Chip!" Curly smiled as he held up a computer chip.

Normally, Helga would make a retort about how it looked like Curly destroyed a computer just to get his hands on a chip, but considering he was... well, Curly, he could very well be a genius inventor. "So, what does it do?"

"Just stick it in your ear and let it do the rest of the work." Curly said, handing Helga the computer chip. "And when you have this in your ear, all you need to do is think of the dimensional variant of the person you specifically want to talk to... anybody at all! You just think of the person, and you'll be sharing hidden conversations with same dimensional varients in your mind only. No need to talk crazy no more! This is the future of technology!"

Helga examined the chip... as she sighed. "Well, what do I have to lose?"

Helga quickly jammed the chip in her ear... which quickly dissolved inside as in her mind, she started to feel different. She opened her eyes as she felt her ear. The computer chip was no longer there. Curly smiled as he said, "Such a beaut, huh? I could hardly believe it myself when I made it."

"What did you inject that computer chip with?" Helga asked out of curiosity.

"Oh, you know... the usual stuff I find when I go around... tomato juice, pepper... software data..." Curly counted the things he could think of. "Anyway, any dimension you can see, you can see it through somebody's eyes... either your own dimensional varient's eyes or in general, anybody else's... our world or any world that is beyond there."

Helga gave a big smile upon hearing that as Curly raised an eyebrow. "So, any particular reason WHY you wanted me to 'invent' something like that?"

"Oh, no particular reason. Just let me... take it for a test run and I'll tell you if it works or not." Helga said as she sat down.

"Take all the time in the world." Curly said as Helga held her ear, focusing on the chip. Helga closed her eyes as she felt herself being surrounded by multiple screens showing different dimensional variants of Hillwood.

"Come on, come on, please. I just want to know if the world I currently live in is okay..." Helga paused... then her eyes brightened up. "I wonder... all right... take me to the Olga that had no Helga growing up!"

As if her mind had listened to her, the monitors blinked off for a mere moment... before the screen flashed... she felt like she had just made a quick body jump...

(Earth-42)

Pretty soon, Marcie had let go of Olga's head as she gave a smirk. "Well, with this, I feel that you will have an easy time getting used to your new status... at least, until things wear over."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Olga asked as she looked herself over. "I don't feel any different."

"Oh really? Listen to your mind, Olga. Do you notice anyone different in there?" Marcie smiled.

Olga, looking confused, closed her eyes as she actually started to think.

"Hello? Hello?"

"Hello?"

Olga gasped as she recognized the voice as the same girl that had helped rescue her from Solara.

"H-Helga? Is that you?"

"Olga? You're actually hearing me?"

"Wait..." Olga paused. "What do you know about me?"

"Until recently, nothing. I know MY Olga is more of a perfectionist who loves me a little too much... but I also know of a different Olga... one that didn't have me on her side... one that realized she lived with an awful family... but thanks to Rhonda, decided to move out and make a life of her own." Helga explained.

"I also used to be friends with a girl that I never realized was evil until she revealed herself..." Olga explained.

"That would be Solara!" Helga gasped. "This is the world I just left! It didn't disappear! And... and... wait a minute... Olga, you STILL remember everything that happened? Who else remembers?"

Olga paused. "Aside from Curly and his weird friends?"

"Yeah, aside from them."

Olga looked down. "Honestly... just me. When I died the first time protecting you and Rhonda, Marcie gave me another chance at life on a couple conditions. One of those conditions was that until a new you was born, I would be the one in charge of keeping my dimension together."

"Oh wow. That must be a whole lot of pressure, huh? I mean, I didn't even know I WAS the key to my own dimension until it was too late." Helga smiled. "Actually, I couldn't help but think of that other world where I recently been. I just wanted to know if it was doing okay or not."

"What would happen if it didn't go okay?" Olga asked.

A slight pause before Helga's voice said, "Then I would be thankful that I hung out with everyone that I did... and let me tell you, redemption is not an easy feat. Don't get me wrong, Olga. I love my sister Olga, but... she's still acting the perfect goody-two shoes."

Olga could only laugh. "Sure sounds like old me... hey, listen, if she or your parents give you any sort of trouble... I'm always happy to help you... as long as you're more than willing to help me out in my world. I mean... you basically had to go through your years twice... the second time in my adopted daughter's body!"

"Speaking of which, how is Rhonda? Is she doing all right?" Helga asked.

"She's actually doing great. She's recovering nicely and if things go right, we should be able to get back into school by next week!" Olga smiled.

"Well, that's good." Helga responded back... and paused. "And you know... I'll be more than happy to help. Just say whatever you need to say, I'll be more than willing to help."

"Thank you, Helga. It's going to feel a little weird at first, talking to you, but..." Olga paused. "I mean, I know in this timeline, I'm not your sister, but..."

"Don't fret. If anything, I'm happy to become just friends with you, even if you were supposed to be my sister." Helga smiled. "Just remember, whenever you feel you need help, just think of my name."

"Thanks, Helga. I'll think of your name too." Olga smiled. "I got to be getting back now. I promised I'd get a cake over to a party for Arnold and Rhonda."

"And I should probably get back to hanging with the sister I'm with... I probably going to hate myself for this, but I don't care. If anything, it'll help me get to know the you I have a little more." Helga said. "Until next we talk, Olga!"

"Talk to you later, Helga." Olga smiled as a click was heard.

(CANON UNIVERSE)

Helga gave a slight smile as she put her ear down. Hearing the voice of Olga again really filled her with heart. Suddenly, she got snapped out of her thoughts by Curly.

"So... how did it go?" Curly asked. "Did it work?"

Helga looked at Curly, wondering whether he should know the truth or not. She decided to keep the information to herself. After all, he'll need to figure out about Marcie on his own anyway. "Er... sort of. I thought I got something for a minute, but it went blank."

Curly frowned. "Well, shoot."

"Ah, don't give up. You had something going... you'll just need some new improvements." Helga offered.

Curly paused... then smiled. "You know something? You're right. What I need is more time to perfect the invention. You can keep the computer chip as a souvenir, I'll be working on a brand new one!"

"All right then." Helga said as she got up. "I better get going. Don't want to be late. Bye, Curly."

"See you later, Helga!" Curly gave a nod as Helga walked out of Curly's room and out of Curly's house. She took a deep breath of fresh air as she looked around, feeling ready to take on the world.

(Earth-42)

Olga smiled as she looked over at Marcie, who could only give a nod back. Olga, feeling a bit more rejuvenated, got up as she went over to the EXIT doors.

With a new ability to talk to Helga in her mind, Olga felt ready for anything now. Not even the hallucinations of Solara were going to stop her now!

An hour or so later, with a cake in hand, Olga smiled as she knocked on the door of the boarding house. Quickly, Miles answered it and smiled, "Oh good! You're here with the cake!"

"Here I am!" Olga smiled as Miles opened the door and let her in.

"All right, could you set it up with a few candles really quickly? Just... you know... for something special." Miles paused.

"All right, sure." Olga said as she went over to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, up in their room, Rhonda was happily reading from one of Arnold's books as Arnold was playing one of his computer games. Arnold smiled as he said, "You know, Rhonda, it's great that my parents are more than willing to give us a chance."

"You said it, buddy boyfriend." Rhonda said, looking up from her book. "But you know, I feel that things are going to be slightly different... I mean, with your parents around now, what could we possibly do?"

Arnold smiled as he turned to Rhonda. "Many things... I mean, we can still do things we'd like to do... but with my parents here... anything can be a real possibility."

Rhonda giggled as she got up and hugged her boyfriend. "Just don't be too sad, or I'll have to give you an extra-special hug, just for you!"

"You've always been a hugger, Rhonda, and I'm not complaining..." Arnold laughed.

Before the two of them could kiss, they heard a knock on the door. Then Phil's voice called out, "Oh, Shortman, Shortman's girl! Please come down to the backyard right away for a special treat!"

The two of them turned in confusion as they raised an eyebrow. Curiously, they went downstairs and started to head out to the backyard... where a big surprise was waiting for them out there...

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARNOLD!"

Arnold and Rhonda looked around to see that all of Arnold and Rhonda's friends from the past couple of years were there, Gerald, Tucker, Phoebe, Nadine, Lorenzo, Lila, Harold, Stinky, Sid, Sheena, Edmund, Connie, Maria, the adults that Arnold and Rhonda had met, including Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz had arrived.

"Whoa..." Arnold said in surprise. "What is all this?"

"Birthday party for you." Miles said as Arnold and Rhonda turned in surprise. "We know it's not your real birthday, BUT... you did tell us we had a lot of birthdays and Christmases to make up... so we figured why not start now?"

"W-wow..." Arnold looked around. "G-guys... all of you are here..."

"Every single one we know..." Rhonda smiled. "All of our friends and family..."

Arnold turned to his parents as he said, "You must have went through a lot of trouble getting most of our friends from the past!"

"Believe me, after hearing the ton of stories from the others, you have no idea." Stella laughed. "I'm just surprised you made THIS many over the last few years!"

"And Rhonda, we figured since Arnold tells us you're the party maker... we'd like your opinion. What do you think?" Miles asked.

Rhonda paused as she examined every aspect of the party for a few moments. After a bit of tension, she smiled, "Well, what are we standing around for? Let's start this, shall we?"

Everyone cheered as they all began to mingle. As Arnold turned to Miles and Stella with a huge smile, he said to them, "Those other birthdays and Christmases I asked for you to make up for me... no need to do that. This one... I think will be just enough."

Miles and Stella smiled as they ensnared Arnold into a big hug, Arnold hugging them back. Rhonda could only look back and smile at the sight of the three hugging parents. She quickly spotted Olga in the crowd as she went over to her.

"There you are, Mom! I haven't seen you all day!" Rhonda smiled as she went over to Olga.

"Oh, Rhonda, sweetheart. I've been a little bit distracted today... BUT I did help out a little bit with the party." Olga giggled.

"I figured some of it may have been your handiwork." Rhonda said as her eyes went towards the big cake on the table. "Hey, maybe we could play some party games together! I know there's a lot we can do!"

Olga laughed. "You go on ahead... I just got to go upstairs and get something first."

"We have all the time in the world!" Rhonda smiled as she spotted her friends. "Nadine, Phoebe, Lila!"

As Rhonda went to join up with her friends, Olga smiled as she went upstairs and into her room. She took a deep breath as she gave a smile. Pretty soon, she noticed her desktop computer, asleep. She moved the mouse to turn the screen on to see that her word document on her story was still there. She quickly read it over... and paused as she thought about the title. She smiled, thinking up an idea. Sure, it would probably be seen as fiction, but she accepted it. After all, some fiction can be based on non-fiction.

She typed up the title of the story and gave a warm smile. "'Oh Rhonda'. That... is... perfect."

She smiled, upon staring at the title. She saved the file before clicking off and turning off the computer. And when she headed out of her room, she had a feeling about one thing...

Her adventures... Arnold's adventures... and most of all, Rhonda's adventures weren't done quite yet...
