The earth shook furiously in the plain land, I could feel the ground trembling under my feet.
As I looked up in to the sky I could see the birds flying away, escaping the force of the earth as it moved. The heated air mix with the smell of sulfur brushed my face like a touch of fire. But I was not afraid, as I continued to walk towards it. I knew where it was, I knew how to get there, I was born to know.

I looked up and there it was, it was magnificent, glorious and powerful, the volcano was alive and calling out to me. As I was getting closer I saw an eagle flying over me, it was staring down at me, assuring me the way, telling me it was my destiny to find it. Finally I was there, I was standing in front of a volcano it was awake and it was fiery. I walked in to a hidden cave deep in the volcano, it looked like it was carved by lava, it was depth and dark, but I knew the path as I continued to proceed unafraid.

Then, there it was, a dark grained rock, it look like any other rock, but I knew it wasn't as I stepped closer to it, it began to glow from deep inside the rocks core, it was a green bright light that called out to me and daze my mind. I kneel down has I placed my hands on it.
Suddenly a strong force pulled my hands to it, I couldn't move, the rock felt hot and frozen cold at the same time. I could feel as the heat wave went through my fingers, up my arms and fill my body with its pure energy. The temperature in my body began to raised, the heat was overwhelming as green flames emerged from my flesh, I couldn't take the torturing burning pain. AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

"FOOTBALL HEAD, PASS THE POPCORN!!!"
Arnold woke from his daydream as he was remembering the dream he had the night before.

"Helloooo....Helga to Arnold!" yelled Helga from Arnold's bed.
"Huh...I'm sorry what?" Asked Arnold has he was seating on his desk with the computer in front of him.
"Crimity! Football head are you daydreaming? I been screaming at the top of my lungs to pass the popcorn."
Arnold shook his head "Didn't you had enough popcorn already, Helga."
"I'll tell you when I had enough Arnoldo, now pass the bowl!"
Arnold exhaled "Remembered what happen last time when you ate too many chips."
"If I want to throw up again, that's my business Arnoldo, now pass the popcorn!" she insisted.
Arnold rolled his eyes "sheesh, just come and get them, Helga."
"Crimity Football Head! Why can you just get up and give them to me." yelled Helga frustrated from the bed.
"Ahh Nope, I'm busy." replied Arnold has he began typing.
"Busy daydreaming Football Head.." Said Helga raising her eyebrow.
"Well, I was thinking about the dream I had last night, it was so mystical and real."
"Yep no kidding, when you called me in the middle of the night to tell me about it, even I had chills just listening to you."  said Helga rubbing her arms.

It was the first day of summer and Arnold and Helga were at the boarder house in his room.
Helga was seating in Arnold's bed flipping the pages of their yearbooks. While Arnold was seating on his desk checking some book websites.

The high school years passed very quickly, the gang was now eighteen and just graduated.
Arnold was now has told has his father was, he continue to leave with his grandparents and dreamed to become an environmental science biologist and eventually get his PhD and become a Doctor just like his father. Arnold and Helga continue their relationship through high school and their self defense and martial arts training, Arnold felt more at ease knowing she could now protect herself. He found a part time job at the movies tavern where he works with Gerald.

Helga got taller and even more beautiful, she and her mother got closer through out the years. Miriam works with Bob in the family business. Helga continue her ballet dancing and even invite Andrew and Olivia to her dance performances, even if Arnold didn't like the idea. She wants to become a writer editor or English teacher, she's still deciding.

Gerald grew slightly taller than Arnold, he's also working at the movie theater and leaving with his parents, his thinking about becoming a mechanical engineer. Phoebe grew a bit more but she stayed petite. She was always busy with her music, swimming and prep college lessons. She received a full grand to a university in another state. But she wants to study Pediatric medicine and stay closer to home to be with Gerald.

Back with Arnold and Helga:
"Don't take the dream too seriously Arnold, it was just a strange dream. Hey, remember our freshman year Football head? It was horrible, we were getting lost all the time and we hardly had any classes together, on top of it all, I had Brainy in the majority of my classes." Said Helga trying to distract Arnold from thinking about his dream.

Arnold laughed...

"What's so funny Football head?" asked Helga.
"Every time we bumped in to each other on the hallways you didn't want to leave my sight." said Arnold remembering.
"Doi, what would you expect! Brainy was following me everywhere and no matter how much I hit him he just didn't get it. And you never told him anything."

"What did you wanted me to tell him, he wasn't doing anything." Said Arnold scratching his head.

"Except breathing!"
"Really Helga, breathing?" Arnold was rolling his eyes.
Helga sighed "You are impossible, now for the ten time, pass the popcorn Football head."
"Ahh Nope." replied Arnold still typing.
"Grrrrr... do I have to do everything, what are you doing anyways?" She asked.

"I already told you, that today I wanted to check my new college schedule and start buying all the materials and books that I need for class."

"Crimity, it's the first day of summer and you want to buy books....give it a rest, relax it's not like you're doing a project due by tomorrow. It can wait for another day. Beside, I brought the new year book so that we can look at it together."

"I know Helga I just want to get this over with so that I can enjoy the summer vacation knowing my major concern it's done with." Said Arnold has he was checking different website and book prices.

Crimity! This is what I get for having a boyfriend that's so focus on his studies.
Still he can get up, walk over here and just give me the popcorn for crying out loud. Fine, I'll just have to misdirect his focus. Thought Helga

Arnold was wearing khakis pants and a white shirt with his classic red button shirt. While Helga was wearing jean shorts with a pink shirt and tennis shoes that she had taken off to lay down on Arnold's bed.

Helga stood up and quietly walked towards Arnold from behind.
"Let me help you Arnoldo" Said Helga has she sat on Arnold's lap in front of the computer.
Arnold's eyes widened has his heart began jumping out of his chest.
"I.... don't see this, as helping me Helga." Said Arnold trying to stay focus on the task.
"You see Arnoldo you should check this other website , it's better because you can see all the book prices around the web at once."

Arnold wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned against her neck has he was smelling her hair.
"Football Head, what do you think? Asked Helga has she was showing Arnold the website.
"Huh, Yeah.....why do you keep doing this to me Helga, I'm trying to check my schedule and..."
"Am I Interrupting your plans Arnoldo? You knew I was coming today." Said Helga has she stood up and sat on his lap again facing him, with her legs around his waist staring at his full of love green eyes has her lips met his in a heated kiss. His head began to heat up, feeling Helga's warm body seating on his hips.

After the seductive kiss Arnold was trying to cool down, with Helga still seating on top of him.
"Helga,  we talked about this and....we agreed to not let each other so carried away, after what happen....you know....on my birthday."

"Why Arnold, what happen?" Asked Helga trying to look confused.

"Helga, you know what I'm talking about." Said Arnold trying to not focus on Helga's warm body.

Arnold and Helga like to have tasteful small make up sessions whenever they were alone in his room. Which was rarely, since his grandparents were always checking up on them and Arnold was always very careful to not lose control completely over Helga, knowing he had to be a gentlemen and respect her even if Helga was basically throwing herself at him and placing him in heated situations, like just now. But there was one time when things got out of hand.

It was Arnold's eighteen birthday, it was early in the morning before Arnold woke to get ready to school. Helga sneak in the boarder house wearing a blue cute cap with her hair up in a pony tail, black leggings, a long pink shirt and a black jacket wrapped on her waist.

She slipped in to Arnold's room without being seen and closed the door, Arnold was sleeping in his bed not knowing Helga was there or her plans for that morning.

Oh my adorable Football headed boyfriend. You look so tender and adorably innocent not knowing I'm here staring at your lovely charming face, staring at your lips has they call out to me for a taste, the heat of your body yearning to be touch by mine. All of my days have come to this, the moment I give myself to my Romero for all eternity.

Helga took off her tennis shoes and jacket and went underneath the covers quietly and quickly  and lay down on top of him, not realizing he wasn't wearing his PJ pants just his blue brief shorts and a white shirt.

Arnold opened his eyes barely, stunned to see Helga. "Helga! What are you doing here!?"
"Shhhhh... I don't want anyone to hear us." she whisper while placing her finger on his lips.
"Happy birthday Football head, I have two presents for you."

Arnold was still half sleep trying to comprehend what was going on.
"Helga, I'm not wearing my pants and....you shouldn't have come this early alone, it was dangerous."
"I wanted to surprise you Football Head.....and really, you don't have your pants on, let me see." said Helga has she was going to pick under the covers.
"Helga please..... what am I going to do with you?" said Arnold blushing intensely trying to think what to do.

"Crimity Arnoldo, if you don't want me here, I'll just leave." Said Helga has she was going to get up.

"No, wait I didn't mean that, it's just that, you surprised me that's all, but I want you here, this is the best birthday surprise." Said Arnold has he wrapped his harms on her waist.

"Okay if you want me here so badly I'll stay." said Helga has Arnold pressed his lips on hers and began kissing her smoothly, down to her neck. "You look adorable wearing that cap." he whispered on her ear has he was kissing her.
"You like it, it's yours.....and so am I." she whispered back.
"Say it again." whispered Arnold.
"I'm yours" she whispered
Arnold began kissing her intensely sliding his hands on her waist and hips...
Suddenly, the door opened and his grandparents yelled.
"Happy Birthday Arnold!!!" With a birthday cake and lighting candles.
Arnold eyes were widened in shocked has Helga quickly hid under the covers.
There was an uncomfortable silence in the room.
"Shortman, what do you have to say for yourself." said his grandfather.
"Ugh... I'm sorry...we weren't doing anything." Said Arnold knowing no matter what he said, the damage was all ready done.
"Really? Why don't you stand and blow your candles, Shortman." said the Grandpa with a serious face.
Arnold's face turned red with his eyes round staring at his grandfather. " Mmmm.... I can't" he said accepting the obvious, first that he wasn't wearing pants and second his body was too excited after Helga's attention.
"Phil, why don't we give Arnold and Helga some privacy. And once you're both ready, come down to the kitchen for breakfast and to blow your candles." said the grandmother has she closed the door.

Back to the present day in Arnold's room. Helga laughed remembering his last birthday.
"Oh now you laugh" Said Arnold smirking at Helga.
"I was embarrassed too Football head, especially when your grandpa said to stand to blow your candles, for a moment I thought you were going to stand." she said laughing.

Than Arnold's phone ringed.

"Who's calling you now Arnoldo!?" She asked while grabbing his cell phone.
"Helga, it's Gerald, who else could it be."
"Well I don't know, maybe that witch who was bothering you in our senior year, I still don't know how she got your number." Helga was wondering upset.
"She stop calling me, after you twisted her arm and pulled her hair...and no, I don't know how she got my number. You know Helga, the self defense I been teaching you it's for emergency situations only."

"It was an emergency, she was bothering my man, Crimity!"

Arnold exhaled staring at Helga as he answer the call and began talking to Gerald.
"What's up Gerald."
"Yeah today?"
"No, why?"
Helga was not amuse as their conversation when on. He noticed her bored face and wink at her with a soft smile as she melted in his eyes. No mater how mad Helga was, he could always win her over with his adorable charms and warm hugs.
"No, he hasn't call me."
"I guess he did."
"What today? Yeah I guess"
"Okay see you guys there."
Arnold hanged up.
"How do you feel about hanging at the mall today and eating lunch with Gerald and Phoebe?"
"Sure, it's better than being here watching you navigate the web for boring books Football Head."
Arnold's smiled, "I guess you have a point there...So, can you stand up so that we can go."
Helga was still seating on his lap.
"You will have to manage Arnoldo."

Arnold smirked at her and grabbed her butt with both of his hands and stood up lifting Helga with her legs wrapped on his waist as he walked over to his bed, laying her down while he lay down on top of her still gazing at her blue eyes.

Helga was stunned with her cheeks red staring to his gentle loving eyes. "What are you going to do with me Arnold?" Asked Helga softly.
Arnold kissed her passionately has he lay on top of her. She wrapped her legs on his body has she began to heat up. He released her lips and gave her one more soft kiss on the tip of her nose.
"What I'm going to do is....Mmmm...I'll take you to the mall, come on." Arnold stood up and put on his shoes.

Helga was left breathless on his bed, she was trying breathe "Typical gentle Football Head, so soft, so righteous, so perfect in  every way not allowing himself to cross the forbidden line with his girlfriend, all this time and some how he has manage to keep escaping my heated passionated love for him... ohh, but how I love him."

Coughing
Helgas eyes widened in shock.

"Helga you're thinking aloud again."  Said Arnold softly smiling as he had heard everything she had said.

"Mmmmm... don't just stay there Football head our friends are waiting for us, come on.."
Said Helga has she put on her shoes and walked out of the room.

Arnold smiled at his precious Helga
"Whatever you say, Helga."
