It was Saturday evening Helga was getting ready for the party, she decided to go with a black strap swing dress design for professional dancing, since that was the only night dress she had. With high hill shoes design for dancing as well and her hair long with her natural soft waves and soft makeup and hot pink lips.

Helga run down stairs "Miriam!" she yelled. Her father was watching Saturday night football on TV. "Bob where's Miriam?"

"I don't know, she said she was going somewhere... why?" her father asked.

"I need a ride to a party, Bob."

Her father looked at her "And who said you can go to a party young lady?"

"Bob please, you guys owe me for missing my ballet solo performance and I been getting really good grades."

"Mmmm fine...just give me the address and I'll drive you, but don't stay too late."

"Okay Bob, I'll call you so that you can pick me up, unless if I get a ride from one of my friends."

Bob drove Helga to the party and drop her off. Rhonda's parents rented a very large fancy party boat to take to the sea for four hours with a full elegant restaurant, DJ and dancing floor, it was a magnificent view.

All the guest were boarding, Helga saw  Phoebe and Gerald "Phoebe wait up." She shouted.

"Wow Helga, you look beautiful it's the first time I seen you with a black dress"

"Thank you Phoebe, it's the dress I got for a dance performance that I never used and your silver dress looks amazing"

"Thank You Helga"

"I thought you were coming with Andrew" Said Gerald.

"No, my father gave me a ride, Andrew is supposed to meet me here."

Helga didn't want to ask but she didn't see Arnold around.

"So, I guess Arnold is not coming right" Said Helga sounding like she didn't care.

"Probably not" Said Gerald.

It was a dress to impressed party so all the guys had to wear tux and the ladies night dresses.

After a couple of minutes the boat closed the boarding and it took to sea.
As the guest started to seat at the table for dinner Helga heard a familiar voice.

"Good evening Helga, you look...gorgeous" Said Andrew blushing, he was dress in a dark grey tux with white collar shirt and his hair slick back.

Helga was amaze of how handsome he looked.
"You look good yourself champ, I'm glad you made it."

"Of course I wouldn't want you to be alone  knowing how beautiful you look." Said Andrew being charming.

Andrew and Helga sat at the same table as Gerald and Phoebe. Helga couldn't stop thinking about Arnold. was he in the boat as well? Helga tried to relax to start eating.
Gerald looked at Andrew.

"Hey, my name is Gerald"

"I'm Andrew"

"So your new to school?" Asked Gerald

"Yes I attended Westberry Jr High last year"
Replied Andrew

"And how do you like this school so far?" Asked Gerald

"So far, so good" Said Andrew looking at Helga.
As the boys continue having small conversations, Helga and Phoebe started talking in low voice.

"Phoebe do you know if Arnold is here?"

"No Helga I asked Gerald but, he insisted he didn't know."

"Relax Helga enjoy the party, I don't believe Arnold is onboard."

"But look Phoebe, almost all eight graders were invited."

"I know, Rhonda really outdid herself this year." Replied Phoebe looking around.

During dinner the conversation continue, Helga couldn't relax, se felt she had a lot in her mind, she decided to take a walk around the boat.

"I'll be back I feel a bit light headed, I'm going to walk a little." Said Helga standing up.

"I'll go with you" Replied Andrew as he was getting up.

"No that's okay champ, I just need some air, don't worry I'll be back."

"Okay" Said Andrew seating back down.

Helga left the dinner area and stepped out to the deck of the boat to look at the beautiful night sea. Helga lean against the boat's railings feeling the fresh air brushed against her hair and staring at the starts. The only lights were low deemed blue lights, all around the boat to be able to enjoy the night view. Helga couldn't denied how empty she felt, even if she was surrounded by such elegant beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, she felt someone behind her slowly sliding their hands on her waist.
She turned quickly to slap who ever was behind her and said "Don't even think about it!"

But her right hand was got before she could slap "Arnold!" said Helga startled by seeing him. He was wearing a black tux with a white collar shirt underneath and his hair comb back.

Without saying a word Arnold pulled her by her waist tightly closed to his body, while looking deep in to her blue eyes and pressed his warm lips in to hers.

Helga couldn't feel anything else but his tender tasteful lips caressing hers, for a couple of seconds she was lost in his arms.

Till she remembered where she was.
"wait!" She pushed him back "you can't just kiss me like that...who do you think you are bucko!?" asked Helga as she blushed.

Arnold pulled her back to his body again and smiled softly. " You never asked me for permission all those times you kissed me." and pressed his lips again in to her.

He felt addicted to her lips, to her sweet tasted. No matter what he did, he couldn't control himself around her anymore, everything she said and did called out to him. He was enchanted by her for there was no cure, for his uncomfortable beating heart.
Helga, my Helga. What are you doing to me? Thought Arnold as he continued to kiss her.

Helga felt slaved by him, there was no escape from his eyes, his lips, his wonderful scent, even her body heat longed for his. As long as Arnold held her in his arms, she was his. 
She pulled back from his lips as he gazed at her. Oh, he looks so dreamy, thought Helga.

Helga felt her entire face heated by him, she exhaled trying to regain control of herself.
"You know bucko, back when we were kids, it was different..what makes you think....you can just kiss me like...."

"Helga, you are my greatest treasure" Helga's eyes widened.

"I'm here tonight because we have to talk." He whispered in her ear.

Helga melted hearing Arnold's seductive whispered.

"Did you just said greatest treasure?" She asked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, it was like deja vu from her dream.

"Yes I did and you are" Replied Arnold holding her hand. "I...also know what you been hiding all this time....Cecil."

Arnold kissed the back of her hand, like that valentines day long ago. Helga was in shocked, her face turn red, she didn't know what to say.

Suddenly the restaurant doors open wide and all the guest walked out to the deck of the boat. Helga reacted fast and walked towards the guest to find Phoebe. Leaving Arnold behind.

She was not ready to meet Arnold at the party, part of her wanted to see Arnold and the other was terrified of him.

"Phoebe, I'm guessing diner is over" Said Helga walking towards Phoebe

"Yes Helga Rhonda said the dance will start in a couple of minutes, where were you?"

"Phoebe, Arnold is here" Helga whispered.

"Really oh my!"

"Yes exactly!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know Phoebe, he wants to talk to me but, I'm finding it more and more difficult to control my feelings around him.... "Helgas's face blushed "especially when he ...."

"There you are Helga for a moment I was worried about you." Said Andrew cutting in.

"I just needed some air." Replied Helga bitting her lip.

"Do you feel better now, I know being on a boat can make some people dizzy and you looked nervous too at diner." Said Andrew

"Really...well I feel better now." She lied.

Andrew was staring at her. "Mmm...okay do you want to seat down a bit or walk a little?" He asked.

"No let's just seat here on this bench" Said Helga knowing Arnold might still be by the railings.

As Helga and Andrew starting talking, on the other side of the boat Arnold met with Gerald.

"Hey Gerald where's Phoebe?"

"She's at the ladies room. Did you received my text about Helga?"

"Yes I did, I met her on the deck but I couldn't talk to her that much."

"If you couldn't talk to her then what were you doing?"

Arnold blushed remembering her lips.

Gerald rolled his eyes. "Okay brother I'm not going to ask. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to steal her during the dance."

Gerald look at him funny. "Man you want to take Helga, I still don't know how your going to pull it off and Andrew is guarding her like a hawk."

"Well, he can watch me take Helga then!"
Arnold looked very self assured by his plan.

Gerald just nodded in disapproval "Just don't cause any problems Arnold and if you do steal her, where are you going to take her?"

"Rhonda said there's a private vip room under the deck and she will loan it to me to talk to Helga  alone."

"VIP room to talk...mmm...mmm....mmm." Gerald said doubtful.

"Gerald we are going to talk!"

"Fine Arnold whatever you say and what about Andrew?"

"Rhonda will keep him occupied for a while."

"Man Arnold, you are one crazy dude."

Arnold's sighs. "I don't want to lose Helga, she needs to hear me first...and yes, I'm crazy... for her."

A couple of minutes later it was time to dance, the decorated illuminations deemed allowing for the colorful lights to reflect all over the dance floor. The DJ began playing the music beat slow at first, allowing for all the guest to feel the strong sound waives of the rhythm, you could feel the music getting louder and louder. all the guest started to dance.

Andrew asked Helga if she wanted to dance.
"I don't know.." replied Helga shyly.

"Come on Helga this is our song!" Said Andrew
pulling her on the dance floor.

The song playing was Just the way you are by Bruno Mars.

Author: I suggest to listen to this song loud while reading this part :)

Andrew begun to sang as he stared to danced slowly with Helga. His left hand was on her waist and he held her right hand. He leaned close to her ear, so that she could heard him sing.

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday.
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she doesn't see what I see.
But every time she ask me do I look okay?
I say.

(Andrew gazed at her eyes and begin turning and swirling holding Helga tight, she smile and was able to relax in his arms.)

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

(Andrew grabbed her arms and placed them around his neck continuing to dance.)

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy

(He smiled at Helga and said "ain't that the truth" Helga laughed, as they continued to dance.)

She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

(Andrew lifted Helga up the air.)

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are.

After the song was over another began to play. Helga kept looking at Andrew's eyes and felt so at ease with him, Andrew had a way to give her such calmness that she couldn't described.

"You're a great dancer Helga and very talented." Whisper Andrew to her ear.

Helga smiled, it was like everything that came out of his mouth was pure positive and happiness, Andrew had such a positive energy, he could make you happy even when you weren't.

"You're actually a pretty good singer." Said Helga.

"Really, you should heard me in the shower."
Said Andrew laughing.

"Stop it Andrew, like if I'm going to hear you in the shower."

"If you want" Said Andrew with a flirty smile.

"I don't know if to slap you or hug you." Said Helga with blushing cheeks.

"Mmm... I settle for a kiss" Replied Andrew.

Helga was so blushed she tried to look the other way.

Arnold was looking at them from afar with his blood boiling knowing that was his Helga dancing with another guy. He couldn't help to notice how happy she look while dancing with him.

"Hey Arnold I'm glad you made it to the party" Said Stinky

"Yeah I was the last one aboard." Said Arnold staring at Helga.

"Don't you have a date" Asked Stinky

"No" Replied Arnold serious

"I thought you might be coming with Helga, since you do seem to like her, but I see her dancing with someone else and in this case... he's even better looking then you Arnold. She looks really happy, look at her glow!."

"Stinky...shut up!" Said Arnold upset

"What did I say"

The music continue playing song after song.
"Can we seat a little?" asked Helga.
"Sure" Andrew and Helga sat to talk and drink some water.

Gerald was seating at the table with Phoebe, Harold and Patty.

"You dance beautifully Helga" Said Phoebe

"Thanks Phoebe you are pretty good yourself."

"Are you kidding, I was doing all the work" Said Gerald laughing.

"Oh Gerald you know you love me." Said Phoebe.

"Of course I do" Replied Gerald while giving her a kiss on her cheek.

Rhonda approached their table
"How's the party so far guys"

"You Really did it Rhonda. The party is amazing!" Said Patty

"I know darling I wanted to have the party of the year." Said Rhonda.

"And look at you Helga, you finally decided to wear a sexy outfit, could it be because Andrew was your date or because of ...."

"Look Rhonda the only reason why I'm not going to shout at you it's because we're at your party, but If you must know I decided to wear  this dress regardless who was at the party."

"Who said anything about who, was here."
Said Rhonda smiling at Helga like if she knew Helga was hiding something.

As the last song played, the DJ announced.
"Now it's time for some Tango"

The music started slow, deep and irresistible.
The song was Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre).
Gotan project álbum- La revancha del tango.
Author: I strongly recommend you listen to the song while reading this next part ;).

Arnold had his collar white shirt unbuttoned just barely, so that you could see part of his chest and his sleeves rolled up.

He was walking towards Helga holding his jacket behind his back. His eyes firm but softly staring at his enchanted princess. All the girls had their eyes on Arnold since he looked so seductive.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her gently towards the dance floor, just like he did back in the fourth grade during the April fool's Dance.
Leaving everyone at the table stunned.
When Helga looked up at him, she couldn't think, her eyes were locked to Arnold's she had fallen under his trance again.

For Arnold he had his Helga and there was nothing that could get between them. Tango came very naturally to them, their own bodies united in perfection with their own rhythm. The music move them in a beautiful fantasy tango dance performance. 

Hay milonga de amor
Hay temblor de gotan
Este tango es para vos

Arnold threw his jacket as he held Helga backwards, she raised her leg  to his hip, allowing for Arnold to caress her thigh slowly. As they continue to dance back and forward deep in to the music, they turned and swirled, as she wrap her leg on his. Their faces closed to one another, as if they were about to kiss.

Helga jumped on his hips wrapping her legs around him with elegance and beauty like a true tango dancer, as they spin together. With each move Arnold caress her body, breathing her in. The rhythm and the heat of each others bodies was overwhelming, with each step they breathed faster and faster.

Everyone had their eyes on them, the girls were jealous of Helga and the guys wanted to dance with Helga. The entire dance floor was dark while a diamond blue light shine upon them.
The music continued...

Hay milonga de amor
Hay temblor de gotan
Este tango es para vos

Arnold and Helga continue to dance with so much passion and grace. For a moment it looked like Helga was getting away from Arnold, but he was still holding her hand and pulled her back to his arms again and continued to danced back and forward while
Arnold whispered to her ear "You're not getting away Helga...there's something I been, meaning to tell you...I'm just waiting, you know...waiting for the right moment".

At the end of the song Arnold held Helga backwards with her leg wrapped to his hip and his hand on her thigh, their lips almost touching each other.

Everyone applauded and Gerald though.
That son of a gun did it.

"Arnold and Helga are so hot at tango, it should be ilegal for them to dance." Said Rhonda.

"I remember watching them when they dance tango in the fourth grade, they gotten so much better, I wonder if they practice together?"
Asked Patty

"No Patty they haven't dance tango since the April fools dance." Replied Phoebe.

Rhonda turned to Andrew who was quiet and asked "Should we dance, after all I'm the birthday girl!"

When the light above them turn off the entire dance room was dark for a couple of seconds, at that moment Arnold kissed Helga with so much passion still holding that same position, leaving her without air. After he let go of her lips he said. "Do you trust me?" Helga was lost for a second "What?" she asked in low tone.

"I said, do you trust me?" looking at Helga.

"Yes" she answered.

"Then follow me, grabbed my hand" and Arnold pulled Helga away from the dance floor while the room was pitch black.

When the dance floor lights turned back on with more music...

Arnold and Helga were gone.
