"Hey Arnold-!"

Arnold groaned as he turned off his old clock he open his eyes to see it was 10:00 in the morning!

He got out of bed got dressed, he had breakfast which was good for him he promised Papi he will meet his friends and show him around Hillwood.

As Papi was waiting for him by the front door he was excited so much that he was jumping up and down.

"Come on Arnold let's go already!" Arnold chuckled but soon yelped as the little boy pull him along.

"How strong is this boy?" Arnold though to himself as he was being pulled.

"Have fun you two!" Stella called out. "We will Mrs S!" Papi called back with a grin as they rushed off "come on Arnold use your speed!"

"Well alright but hold on tight k." Arnold said as he held Papi piggy back style tightly Papi nodded grinning ready for the speed.

As Arnold soon left the building he was by Helga's house!

"Wow that was the awesome ride I've ever been on!" Papi said Arnold's eyes winded as he saw the kid's hair was up straight and back because on how fast Arnold was running.

"Okay don't tell my friends about my powers yet alright I'm just not ready to tell them yet." Arnold told the boy who nodded as Arnold knocked on the door he quickly put his stone under his shirt once the door open he saw it was Helga's father.

"Hello who are you?" Mr. Pataki asked. "Is Helga home I'm a friend of hers?" Arnold asked as Mr. Pataki looked at Arnold for a second before calling out to his daughter.

Arnold felt nervous he haven't seen Helga in 5 years what if she's angry with him for him being here for 5 years what if she doesn't want to be friends with him anymore what if-.

"Arnold?" Arnold looked up and saw Helga standing there his jaw dropped but Papi giggled and closed it for him.

Helga had changed her two pig tails weren't there anymore she had long blonde hair, she still has her pink bow around her head where he likes it, she was wearing a pink long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and a white shirt jacket.

Then she was in his arms shocking him as he slowly put his arms around her. "why are you-."

"You know how much we missed you Football head!" Helga said but soon stepped back "uh sorry."

Arnold chuckled "it's alright." Then she hugged him again Arnold sighed and hugged back "it's good to see you Helga."

"It's good to see you again." Helga said smiling then she noticed a little boy looking at her she yelped and stood back.

"Who's that?"

"Helga this is Papi he's from San Lorenzo but he came with us." Arnold explained.

"What about his parents?"

Papi's eyes went to the ground sadly as Arnold sighed and put a hand on the boy's shoulder softly.

"His parents passed away a year later when he was born so my parents adopted him as their own so now I have a little brother." Arnold smiled as he ruffled Papi's hair making him grin.

"I'll text everybody that your back we can go to Gerald's field!" Helga smiled as Arnold nodded.

To everybody:

Guess what Arnold is back meet us at Gerald's field!

-Helga..

As soon as Helga send the text they started to walk to Gerald's field Arnold talked about his life in San Lorenzo, his parents and the people of the village. Helga talked about on how Hillwood changed over the years.

As they stopped near the field Arnold looked around it looked like nothing changed he smiled as memories came throwing back to his head.

"Let's play a little before they come Football head!" Helga said getting Arnold out of his thoughts he smiled.

"Alright but it been years the last time I played."

Helga smirked as Papi sat on the benches. "And I didn't bring a ball."

"That's one of the things that changed all these years Arnold." Helga said as she tapped he ground with her foot then there was a hole full of baseballs and baseball bats.

"When you guys do that?" Arnold asked in shock. "A couple years later after you left." Helga answered as she through him a ball he easily caught it.

After a couple rounds of throwing and hitting Gerald and Phoebe showed up first.

"Arnold my man!" Gerald grinned as he hugged his best friend then they're hand shake. "Oh Arnold it's so good to see you!" Phoebe said hugging him as Arnold hugged her back

"What are you doing back here man?" Gerald asked "I mean it's good to have you back but why so early?"

Arnold sighed and began to explain why he's back he had to lied to his friends that the villagers have to kicked him and his family out and start a new journey.

His little brother frowned then Gerald noticed Papi. "Who's the little guy?" He asked his friend.

"Oh that's Papi he's staying with us." Random explained "his parents passed away getting killed by tigers." Arnold whispered to the last part to his friends who felt bad for the little guy he was only seven years old and Arnold didn't want to tell the kid on how his parents's died it'll scar him for life.

"Hey Papi I'm Gerald how about we get ice cream after we play a little rounds of baseball?" Gerald asked the boy who was confused since he didn't knew Baseball but he did know ice cream!

"Sure! But what's Baseball?"

"What? You've never heard of baseball before?" Gerald asked as his eyes winded. "Gerald he's from San Lorenzo remember so they don't have cable or that much to play over there." Phoebe reminded her boyfriend.

"Oh right I kinda forgot so do you want us to teach you how to play?"

Papi's eyes lit up as he nodded making everybody laughed as soon as the whole gang was there they started to play baseball like old times.

Arnold smiled he likes this he missed this memories once again came through him as he was playing baseball once again.

As Gerald was teaching Papi how to hold the bat as Harold was up to bat first.

A few hours later everybody was getting ready to go home as they were tired from playing for so long.

"We should throw you a party Arnold!" Ronda said Ronda has changed a lot over the years but she's still the same Ronda that Arnold remembers she just changed clothes and hair.

Ronda was wearing a red tank top that shows her stomach a little, a blue jean open jacket, black jeans that were rolled up to her knees, and white shoes, her black short hair was now long to her back so she had to put it in a ponytail.

"You don't have to throw me a party Ronda." Arnold smiled. "Of course I do it's the least I can do after all your back home so I guess it's a Welcome back home party." Ronda said

"Well alright thanks Ronda."

"No problem." Ronda smiled at her friend he smiled back. "Party at my house this Saturday!" Ronda said to everybody who cheered.

Everybody but Arnold, Papi, Gerald, Helga and Phoebe went up as promised Gerald was walking with Papi as he was telling the boy about Baseball Helga and Phoebe were talking to each other while Arnold was thinking on how he should tell his friends about his new superpowers thanks to the stone.

As they walked into the new ice cream store as a African man was standing behind the counter he was wearing a white and pink hat and a pink shirt while he wore white jeans.

"Ah ah my favorite costumers!" The man said with a chuckled. "Mr. H!" Everybody but Papi and Arnold said with grins on their faces.

"Mr. H?" Arnold asked Gerald. "He's the new ice cream man he's kinda a manager now while the Jolly Olly Man is the janitor." Gerald explained as they waited in line.

"Wait The Jolly Olly Man is the janitor now?" Arnold asked in shock.

"Yep things changed a lot when you left 5 years ago Arnold."

"Like what?"

"Well first off Phoeb's and I are dating uh, we're in high school, Mr. Green retired and had Harold runs his store now-."

"Wait wait! Harold is running Mr. Green's meet store that Mr. Green?" Arnold asked as Gerald gave Mr. H his money as Arnold ordered his ice cream.

"Yes that Mr. Green now let me finish!" Arnold rolled his eyes with a smile "let's see Mr. Simons is our teacher in high school,  Principle Wartz is now a gym teacher, uh did you hear that Harold dumped Ronda over Patty?"

"What?"

" I know man!"

Gerald and Arnold laughed as they continued to talk more about their lives as Helga and Phoebe listened they smiled at each other.

"It seem's Gerald and Arnold are catching up!" Phoebe smiled as she eats her chocolate ice cream.

"Yeah it seems like the gang is whole again." Helga smiled. "What do you mean Miss. Helga?" Papi asked.

"Well kid when your brother left Hillwood to live with his parents everything just fall apart." Helga said in a sad voice.

"Like what?"

"I'll tell you when your older."

"Aw!"

The girls chuckled as the boys walked over and sat next to them.

"So what we're talking about girls?" Gerald asked putting a arm around Phoebe.

"You know life." Helga said Gerald rolled his eyes. "Haha very funny." He said making the  others laugh.

As they were laughing Arnold had accidentally put his hand on Helga's they soon both yelped as Arnold's hand was shock to Helga's!

As they pulled their hands away quickly they rubbed their hands in pain as Arnold winced.

"Hey you two okay?" Gerald asked raising a eye brow. "Yeah I'm fine." Helga said.

"Arnold?" Phoebe asked her friend in worry as he was on his knees holding his head and it looked like he was in pain as Phoebe put a hand on his shoulder but Gerald stopped her in time as Arnold screamed in pain as blue lighting surrounded him.

"What's happening to him?!" Papi asked in fear as he hide his face in Helga's shirt shaking in fear as Helga hugged the boy she didn't say anything she looked towards her screaming friend in worry she never seen this before or so close to lighting.

As Arnold stopped screaming he was panting as he looked up sweat was rolling down his face his eyes rolled the back of his head and collapsed to the ground on his back.

"Arnold!" His friends shouted in worry as Helga was the first person to reach Arnold as she crawled him in her arms.

"Uh why is his chest glowing?" Gerald asked Phoebe rolled her friend's shirt up and gasped as they saw a glowing stone laying gently on their friend's chest but what shock them most that it floated and it went inside of Arnold's chest as the blue glow died away Arnold slowly open his green eyes.

"Arnold?" Gerald asked his friend gently as Arnold groaned while rubbing his head.

"What just happen?" Helga asked. "I believe that lighting was surrounding Arnold and that stone went inside of his chest and now he must of have lighting powers-."

"The stone!" Arnold yelped as he fell out of Helga's arms making her stood up as Gerald and Phoebe were by her side watching their friend search for the strange stone.

"Arnold man calm down we know where it is!" Gerald said putting a hand on his friend's back.

"Where?!"

"In your chest."

Arnold frowned "this isn't a joke Gerald that stone is important!"

"Football head he's telling the truth look at your chest!" Helga said as she lifted Arnold's shirt to see a glowing blue stone inside of Arnold's chest!

Arnold's eyes winded in shock then lost consciousness.
