The first time I saw her, she was naked. The first time I met her, she recognized me. The first time she kissed me was the first time I was kissed at all. This girl would change my summer and I knew it from the moment my eyes met hers. There exists many bad ways of meeting the girl of your dreams, but the way I met Helga Geraldine Pataki takes the cake.
"I know that it's a secret and that I gotta kept it, but I want the lights on." In a universe where Arnold and Helga never met as children, they both find themselves teenagers with only one parent. When Miriam and Miles got together, neither of their children ever imagined how so many twisted turn of events could lead them to fall in love with the other.
In the land of Fairytales, reigns King Arnold. He has been captivated by Helga, the princess who lives in the country next to his own. Rumor says that she is haughty, but Arnold believes that is only her exterior. He is determined to ask for her hand in marriage, but this girl can be hard to convince. Drastic situations calls for drastic measures.
Most people would argue that Arnold is a saint of nature. Lady Luck is not always on his side though and one day, while playing baseball, he hits the ball so hard it flies through the window to Madame Blanche's store. The gypsy does not take it lightly and puts a curse on him. Soon he starts acting weird around his peers; especially around a certain blonde girl.
A dreadful trip to the mall to see Santa Claus turns out to leave Helga quite curious about who is hiding under the suit. She had, after all, always wished for an embarrassed boyfriend on Christmas.
Acting had in many ways been one of Helga's many skills. Arnold hadn't expected her to give a shot at a career in it though thereby leaving Hillwood to study abroad just when he had started to grow feelings for her. That smidge of love has turned into bitter resentment, so when the play Helga is cast in as the heroine is falling apart, can Arnold ignore the past pain and save it?
After having spent most of their childhood being enemies, it was a shock to everyone when Arnold and Helga became friends. When rumors about them being lovers in secret started to roam around though, Arnold and Helga found themselves in quite the awkward predicament. Because they weren't in love… were they? It's true what they say: "Everybody talks too much"
When Helga came home one night after a party, she thought that Arnold was in pain because of the whimpering noises coming from his bedroom. What she discovered when she barged in, left her in complete shock and… fascination?
