Arnold:
You have every right to be mad, Helga.
I-I don't know what made me do that.
I'm so sorry. I'm SO sorry.

Helga:
C-Can you kiss me again?

Arnold looks astonished.

Please?

Arnold slowly approaches Helga.
He looks at her for a bit and finally builds courage to lean in and kiss her again.
It wasn't long after for him to back away.
Arnold looks very nervous.
Helga looks at him.

Helga:
One more kiss, please, Arnold.

This time Arnold blushes. He gets closer to Helga and kisses her again , but a bit longer than the first two.
After the kiss, they look at each other with tears in their eyes.

I'm scared, Arnold.
There's always something happening.
I wanna go home—I wanna go back to your place.
Now.

Without a reply back, Arnold looks determined to bring Helga back to his house.
He grabs Helga's hand and begins to run.

Once they arrive to his boarding house, he sees Stella and Miles parking the car.
They immediately get out the car to hug Arnold.

Stella and Miles:
Arnold!

Stella:
Where have you been??
Both of you!
We've been looking everywhere.

Helga takes out her phone in her pocket and sees that Phoebe sent a message about Stella and Miles being awake .
Helga looks up at Stella and Miles.

Arnold:
Me and Helga just came from the movie theaters. We know it's really late and it's a school night, but we chose to go anyways.
I'm sorry, mom, dad.

Stella and Miles looks at each other and then back at Arnold.
They hug Arnold again.

Miles:
It's okay, son. We forgive you.

Stella:
Your both okay and that's what matters.
Now let's get inside!

Stella and Miles get behind the children and pushes them inside the boarding house.
Miles closes the door and then turns to Arnold, who is running up the stairs with Helga in front of him.

Miles:
Not so fast, son.
There's something me and your mother would like to discuss with you.

Arnold turns around to face Miles and Stella.
He goes down the stairs and looks back at Helga.

Arnold:
I'll be up there. Go get some rest for me, Helga.

Helga nods to Arnold and rushes upstairs to Arnold's room.

Arnold follows Stella and Miles in the kitchen.
They sit at the table.
Stella and Miles stare at Arnold.

Arnold:
What's wrong? Is this about me sneaking out?
Look, I'm really sorry—

Stella:
No. This is about something else that me and your father been thinking about ever since we found out what happened last year with your old school, P.S. 118.
