    It's Like Riding A Bicycle, In A Way by

    Hey Arnold!
    Summary

    Gerald's best stories always began with "Hey, do you remember that time in fourth grade--" and usually ended with Helga being weird or Eugene breaking a bone. But, sometimes, they ended with two nine-year-old boys sitting the park at night after a game of football, doing exactly what they were doing right now: lying in the grass and talking about stupid boy shit.

    Notes

    They've just come from Rhonda's party-- everyone went to Rhonda's right after football games, because her parents were just distant enough to know that their daughter was throwing wild parties while they were in Milan for the weekend, but not care enough to do anything about it as long as nobody broke anything-- and decided to stop in the park for a little while to sober up before going home.

    I love the details about how everyone is in high school; I can see every one of them.

    Notes

    Gerald Field has been lost and paved over. It was a glorious fight, but even Arnold and his rallies couldn’t stop that. An expensive boutique and a furniture store are going in, and Helga tells everyone matter-of-factly that it could be worse. It could be a beeper store.

    I love how this is a little darker and more realistic and emotional than the show, and the way it acknowledges there's something wrong with Helga's home life. Helga's just perfect here with the way she still lashes out, but she didn't seem like a bully so much as someone who is hurting and messed up.

    The Girl by

    Hey Arnold!
    Summary

    Arnold had a good feeling about Hillwood. He’d meet the girl here. Maybe it’d even be like one of those John Hughes movies Mom loved.

    Salted Nut Rolls by

    Hey Arnold
    Summary

    It would be a daunting enough task to tutor the weird girl with the bizarre hair and bizarre fashion sense even if you had never actually met her. It was downright scary to tutor that girl and know that, at least once, she had been in love with you.
