Me and Cecile wrote this A while ago, But I finally got around to putting it up.. heh heh. Anywat, this was supposed to be an on-going story, but the two of us wrote mostly all of it....

Um... well, Here it is....




It was a normal day at PS 118, when Mr. Simmons came running in with a special announcement. "Class we are going to have a very special visitor today, Mr. John Clemont, a movie producer is going to pick two of you kids to be in his new movie. Now he wants you to act normal, pretend he's not here."
"Hello kids, I am Mr. Clemont, and I want two normal kids to be in my movie. I've gotten fed up with all the children actors, so I decided to track down my old grade school and get a few fresh faces from there. So just be yourselves."


All the kids were running around trying to impress Mr. Clemont. All except, Stinky, Arnold, Helga and Phoebe. Stinky had already decided show business was not for him and Arnold, Helga and Phoebe weren't too interested in impressing this hot shot. Mr. Clemont watched each child interact with each other, until he found just the two kids he needed. At the end of the day he made the announcement.


"You kids are all great, and you can all be extras, maybe even co-stars, but I have chosen two stars." The kids were on the edge of their sets with excitement. Mr. Clemont pointed to- Arnold and Helga.


"What?!?" they both exclaimed. He handed them contracts, and told them to look it over with their families.


Arnold was quite excited, even though he had to play opposite Helga. "So can I do it Grandpa?"


"Sure short man, I just have to sign here." Grandma came in with a press reporter outfit on, "Okay Arnold pose for the camera." Arnold shook his head and went up to his room.


Meanwhile, Helga was ecstatic. Not only did she get to star in a movie with Arnold, but also her parents were actually somewhat paying attention to her. Olga had never starred in a movie before. Her parents gladly signed the contract.



Arnold and Helga showed up at the movie studio the next day and Mr. Clemont handed them their scripts, "Here you two read this over, and learn your lines, we start shooting Friday." Arnold started reading through the script, it was quite interesting. Then something caught his eye. His character, Craig had to kiss Helga's character Jenna.


Arnold went up to Mr. Clemont, "Um, sir, I hope you know that Helga and I don't exactly get along that well. And well about this kissing thing..."


"Sorry kid, part of your contract is doing what the script says. And I know you two don't get along that well, but I think it will add spice to your characters."


Arnold walked over to Helga, "Helga did you read this?" he said pointing to the kissing scene.


"Yeah I did football head, but we have to do what's in the scripts, that's what the contract said. Anyway it's not like it's that big of a deal, I did survive the school play, didn't I?"


"I guess so Helga."


The movie was quite interesting; it had mystery, adventure, drama, and romance. In the story a young girl named Jenna is the only witness to a crime, and the villain is trying to get her. Her only hope is the Police chief's son Craig, since no adult will believe her story. Craig and Jenna have to catch this villain without getting caught themselves. During this Craig falls in love with Jenna.


Helga excused herself to her dressing room, musing over the love scenes in the movie. She pulled out her locket and spoke "Oh Arnold! How grand the fates to offer me this opportunity to beseech to you my love..." She stopped suddenly as she heard a knock at her door.


"Who's there?"


"It's me Phoebe! May I come in?"


Helga walked over and opened her door, "Hi Phoebs, what are you doing here?"


"I got a part in the movie too! Not a very big part, I'm only in the beginning, but that is not what I came to talk about"


"Then what Phoebe?"


"Um... Do you know how much school you'll miss? Making a movie takes quite a while... you would have to re-do the 4th grade!"


"Come on Phoebe, you know that there will be a tutor on set, what did you *really* want to talk about?"


"Well Helga I heard about the love scene between you and Arnold."


"Yeah so?"


"Well I was just wondering, um.. how did Arnold take it?"


"He seemed a little awkward about it."


"That's what I suspected, do you want me to help you?"


"Help me what?"


"You know, Helga, about Arnold, remember when you were sleepwalking..."


"Okay, okay I get the point, but how can you help?"


"I can talk to Gerald, who can talk to Arnold."


"Wait a minute, Gerald has a part in the movie too?"


"Well, yes" Phoebe said blushing. "He has to save me, when the villain mistakes me for your character."


"Okay Phoebe, just don't let Gerald know it was my idea."


"Don't worry Helga."



"Hi Gerald, can I talk to you?"


"Umm… sure Phoebe."


"Well I'm worried about Arnold, he seems really awkward about some scene, but I don't know what, Helga's not sure what it could be either. I just thought, since you're his best friend that you should talk to him."


"Okay Phoebe, whatever you say."



Gerald went to Arnold's Dressing room right away.


"Hey man, Congrats on getting the big part, you'll have to beat away girls with a stick after it is out in theaters"


"Won't that be fun" said Arnold Sarcastically, rolling his eyes.


"I heard that there is a part that you don't feel very comfortable with, what's that?"


"I have to do A kissing scene with Helga, I thought it was weird at first, but then I thought about the kiss in "Romeo and Juliet" it's just for the movie, nothing else."


"Ha! Its a wonder how many times you and Helga have been stuck as partners, its almost like someone's trying to tell you something!"


"You are starting to sound like Stinky! But yeah.. maybe" Arnold replied as he walked out the door to go home Gerald Following him.



Meanwhile, The Hair/Makeup Lady had caught Helga walking out the Door.


"Not so fast missy! We have to see what we're going to do with your hair!" Stated Mrs. McNooly, pulling Helga back to her Dressing room.


"Hey lady, don't put my hair like that!"


"Well why not little lady, you look just adorable with it down like that."


"I can't wear it down okay!"


"Well I'll go talk to Mr. Clemont and see if he has any other ideas." Helga sat there looking in the mirror, if anyone sees me like this my cover is blown."



Arnold was on his way out, when he decided maybe he should talk to Helga. She had done the kiss in school play, maybe she could give him some advice.



Helga sat scowling at the mirror. A knock came at the door, it was Arnold.


"Helga can I talk for a minute." Helga started to panic, she was trying to put her hair back up, when Mrs. Mc Nooly came back.


"Well little lady, your little star is here to see you." she said letting Arnold in. "Oh dear let me fix your hair" Helga protested, but she put it back to the Cecile style. "There sweetie, you look fabulous, don't you think kid." Arnold just stared, where had he seen that look before, he shook the idea out of his head.


"I hate it!" Helga screamed.


"I think it looks nice Helga." said Arnold.


"You do?"


"Yeah I do."


"I guess it's okay, you can leave now Mrs. McNooly." The bustling lady made her way out. Helga felt very awkward, wondering if Arnold knew.


"Helga I need to talk to you about the kissing scene."


"What about it?"


"Well, I just want you to know, I do kind of feel a little awkward about it, and I was wondering, how were you able to do it for the school play?"


Helga was at a loss for words


"Well... I... Just thought of me really being Juliet, and you really being Romeo, and that's exactly what Juliet would have done. You really have to get into your character when acting, if you do, it makes the whole thing come together much better"


"Wow, Helga, I didn't know that you knew so much about acting! Yeah.. I guess your right! I'll just really get into character! Thanks Helga! And you are a really good actress! Bye" He said while running out the door.


After He left, Helga started getting her things to go home too, all the while thinking 'Arnold thinks I'm A good Actress, Arnold Thinks I'm A good Actress!'



-Arnold arrived home, and Grandpa greeted him. "Hey short man, how's your first day as a star?"


"Interesting, quite interesting."


"Hey can I see your script?"


"Sure Grandpa." Grandpa started reading through the script.


"You're playing opposite that little friend of yours with one eyebrow."


"Yeah, Helga."


"Oh really, did you read this short man."


"What Grandpa, the love scene?"


"Yeah, that short man, it's the second time you and Helga are in a love scene together."


"I know, Gerald already reminded me. He thinks someone's trying to tell me something. I guess he's been hanging around Stinky too much."


"I don't know, Gerald may have a point there." Arnold just shook his head and went upstairs to his room.



Helga had gone home, to find her parents actually happy to see her.


"How was my daughter's first day as A movie star?"


"It was great Bob" replied Helga tiredly.


"and Guess what? We have a big surprise!" said an excited Mariam


"What is it Mariam?"


"Your sister came for a surprise visit!!"


"WHAT!"


"Olga came home the second she heard her sister was staring in a movie"


"But... Where is she?"


"She's out getting you something... but she'll be back soon"


"Why did ...?" Helga started. But she was cut off when the phone rang, It was Phoebe.



"Hey Pheebs, you won't believe, my idiot sister is coming home. She is going to ruin all the attention parents are actually giving me."


"Helga I talked to Gerald, and well.."


"If it's bad news don't tell me."


"No actually it was just weird, Gerald thinks you and Arnold have some weird psychic attraction or something like that." "What? Great now two psychics are bugging me, Gerald and Stinky. Well what did Arnold say."


"Well that's the good news. Arnold kind of hinted that he almost believes that, weird huh?"


"Yeah."


"So did Arnold talk to you?"


"Yeah he thinks I'm a good actress."


"That's nice Helga, well I've got to go, bye."



"Helga! Your sister is back."


"Criminey, what could she be doing to ruin my life now?"


Helga walked reluctantly down the stairs.


"Baby sister! You've grown so big since the last time I saw you!"


"You saw me last month, Olga"


"Well anyway, Mummy called me right away after she had heard the news! Imagine! My baby sister, an actress!"


"Yeah, yeah, get to the point"


"What? I can't come home to give my baby sister some support?"


"Well you could, but I'm sure your also down here for some reason or another"


"Come Upstairs with me Helga! I have the cutest new outfit for you!"


"But..." Helga started, but Olga was already pulling her up the stairs.



~The Next day (Lets make it Thursday)~



"Children, I have announcement to make, This is going to be Arnold and Helga's Last day in school for a bit, while they pursuit their own "special" paths in movie-making! We will see them earlier though, because They have invited us there one day for a visit!" Said Mr. Simmons at the end of the day, as the bell rang.


"I still can't believe that *I* only get to be an extra! Imagine! I don't even get a credit at the end! But "Helga G. Pataki" gets to be in a lead role!!" Stated Rhonda, who seem more than a little ticked off.


"Well, Rhonda....," started Nadine.


"Don't well Rhonda me! I'm A much better actress than Helga, she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag"


"Excuse me, Rhonda, But Helga Is A very good Actress!" Said Arnold, who looked mad, very mad, "You saw her during the school play, the whole audience was in tears she was such a good actress!"


"In tears of Gratitude, you should say! Gratitude that the play was over!" Said Rhonda, who in turn stormed off.
