Part 11: The musical end

After having dinner, the PS118 students wait for the dessert. Eugene is next to Rhonda and it looks like the both of them are having fun. Arnold and the gang talk peacefully.

Phoebe: What a magical night! Isn't it, Helga?

Helga: a pretty magical night, I gotta say. This is the happiest night of my entire life!

Arnold: I'm glad to be with you again, Helga.

Helga: Yes, me too. I was so ... so ... so dumb. It's just that I'm afraid to show my true feelings.

Arnold: It's OK.

Suddenly, the stage's curtains start opening. The Beaters are again on the stage and the crowd yells happily at them.

Johnny: Ladies and gentlemen... Oops, I mean ... Girls and boys, get ready for the best! It's time for what you have always expected ... the Dance Challenge!!

Gerald: Oh, yes!! The Dance Challenge!!

Johnny: These are the rules: We play the songs and you dance them. The better dancing couple will be the King and the Queen of the party! What are you all waiting for? Take your partner and get shocked by the music! (to the rest of the band) Ya heard it, guys! It's dance time!!

All the people stand up and take their respective dance partners. The band begins to play. Everybody starts dancing. Arnold and Helga dance quite good. Gerald and Phoebe too. Eugene has some troubles trying to follow the steps, but Rhonda helps him. The Song finishes.

Johnny: Good one, guys! And now, another hit!

The band starts again and everybody starts to dance. Eugene starts getting in the move and dances a little better. They continue on until finally, the music stops.

Johnny: Pretty good! Now ... to have a little change ... a slow love song. Enjoy it.

A slow love song is played and everybody gets closer to their dance partners and start dancing slowly. When the song finishes, Eugene sighs.

Rhonda: Let me guess ... I'm wearing red tonight and that reminds you your last girl. Right?

Eugene: No ... you are my only girl up till now.

Rhonda: (Smiles) that's so ... sweet. Know what? You are not the geek I thought you were.

Eugene: (Smiles) No?

Rhonda: (Smiles) No ...

Johnny: Boy, you all made it perfectly! And now, our last song! Any of you have a twisted mind? Hope so, 'cause this song is actually twisted! (to the rest of the band) Let's give 'em all the best we have!

Ringo: Yeah! That's what I was waiting for!

They begin to play "Twist and Shout". Everybody starts dancing very animated. The Beaters make the whole auditorium cheer up when they've finished. Everyone clap happily to the band. The Beaters give thanks to all the public.

Johnny: Thanks! Thanks! Thanks a lot! We love you! Thanks for letting us be here tonight, and for hearing our music. We are pleased with you all, 'cause you, the public, are the ones who decide our way in the world. Now Principal Wartz is going to say who the King and the Queen of this event are. Thank you so much!

The Beaters leave the stage while they're all clapping at them. Principal Wartz is now on the stage and walks to the microphone.

Wartz: Well, that's what I think it's a nice band! ... I guess ... anyway, here I've got the paper with the names of the King and the Queen of the Party. (Opens the paper) And their names are ...

Everyone waits impatiently for the answer.

Wartz: Eugene Horowitz and Rhonda Wellington!!

The public clap to the new King and Queen of the party. Eugene can't believe it. Neither does Rhonda, who faints. Nadine grabs Rhonda just before she touches the ground and helps her to stand up. Rhonda and Eugene go to the stage. Once there, some students give them King and Queen crowns and a "royal suit".

Wartz: Congratulations, kids! You two were the best ones at the dance! A bit clumsy at the beginning, but very awesome at the last part.

Rhonda: This is incredible! Finally I'm a queen!! (To Eugene) and all thanks to you!

Eugene: (Shy) Well ... I ...

Rhonda doesn't let Eugene speak and gives him a big kiss.

Eugene: WOW!! Now, more than ever ... I'M OK!!!

Helga: Humph! They beat us!

Arnold: (Smiles) I don't mind. They are pretty happy together.

Helga: (Smiles too) Yes... Maybe.

Gerald: (To Phoebe) umm ... May Lady Heyerdahl want to join me for an ice cream?

Phoebe: (Blushes) Yes, I'll be pleased too ...

Gerald: Hey, guys! We are going to eat dessert! Are you coming?

Arnold: Yes. Why not?

Helga: Uuh! Ice cream! Just what I need!

Later, the party is over. Everybody is walking back to their homes. Arnold accompanies Helga to her house. They reach the building.

Arnold: It was a really nice party.

Helga: Yes, it was. Too bad we didn't win the challenge.

Arnold: I don't mind. I won something better tonight.

Helga: Yeah? What?

Arnold: (Sweetly) I won your love. And that was the best prize.

Helga smiles. Opens the door.

Helga: (Sweetly) So, I guess I won too.

Arnold: Want to go to the park tomorrow?

Helga: I would love that very much.

Arnold: Good. See you tomorrow, then.

Helga: Good night, my beloved.

She gives Arnold a little "Good night kiss" and enters her house. Arnold starts walking to his home. Once there he goes upstairs to his room, changes his clothes and puts on his pyjamas. Just before getting into the bed, Arnold feels quite weird. And then he remembers all the moments with Helga.

Arnold: Tonight was an unique night. But I can't stop asking myself ... what will happen between Helga and I? What should I do?

Then Arnold falls deeply asleep.

Arnold: (While dreaming) ... Just let ... it be ...

Arnold keeps sleeping. That night was truly unique. But there are too many questions around: What will happen tomorrow? What will happen between Rhonda and Eugene? Will Helga love Arnold forever? Will ARNOLD love Helga forever? There are many questions. We may not know all the answers, but well ... I guess only time will tell, right?
