ARNOLD'S POV
"What am I going to do, Gerald?" I asked as I was laying down in our tent. Gerald was sitting right next to me.
"Do about what? Helga and Marley?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm caught between two girls." I replied.
"Well, do what your heart says."
I sighed. "But I don't know what my heart says. My heart says to be with Helga but it also says not to break Marley's heart."
"You're in trouble then."
"What would you do if you were in my position?" I asked, looking at him.
Gerald shrugged. "I dunno. It's not like i'm caught between Phoebe and some other girl."
"Didn't you used to have a crush on a girl that had a crush on your brother, Jame-o?" I asked.
Gerald rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah. I forgot about that."
"If you still liked that girl now, what would you do?"
Gerald started to rub his chin. "Well, both girls are beautiful. Phoebe is smart and fun to be around while the other one....I don't know. I think I only liked her because she was cute."
"So Phoebe then?" I asked.
Gerald nodded. "Phoebe. I guess that means you choose Helga."
I looked up at the tent's ceiling and sighed. "I'll think about it some more." I said then unzipped the door flap and started to crawl out when-
"Take cover!" Someone shouted.
"Huh?" I said then felt a water balloon hit my face. I crawled out of the tent then stood up and wiped my face off. I looked around to see who threw the water balloon when I noticed that Phoebe, Helga, Sid, Stinky and Harold were throwing water balloons and spraying each other with water guns.
"Take cover!" Someone shouted again and then another water balloon hit me in the chest.
"Don't just stand there, Arnold! Take this!" Sid said, tossing me a water gun. I smirked then decided to join the game.
"Hey, what are we doing?" Gerald asked as he crawled out of the tent.
"Take cover!" Another water balloon hit Gerald in the face.
"Okay. That's it! You're on!" He took a few water balloons from Phoebe and joined the gang.
Everybody started to throw water balloons at each other and spray water. There weren't really any teams so it was every man for himself. It was a really fun game and I enjoyed spraying everybody with my water gun and getting hit in the face with a water balloon. Towards the end of the game, everybody was drenched with water, including me. I looked around at every drenched person till my eyes landed on Helga and then I blushed. Helga was so drenched that you were about to see through her thin white shirt. I was able to see Helga's breasts in plain view.
"Uh...Helga..." I started to say.
"What?" She asked.
I quickly shook my head. "N-nothing." I turned around when I came face to face with Gerald. He was smirking.

After the game, everybody dried off and changed clothes. I changed into a plain blue hoodie. I wasn't sure where Helga was at so I decided to check her and Phoebe's tent. I walked over to it and opened the flap to see Helga's back to me and the back of her bra strap was showing. I started to blush again when Helga looked over her shoulder at me.
"S-sorry..." I said then quickly closed the door flap. That was the second time seeing Helga in her bra. Now I feel like some sort of pervert.
I walked around the camp and found Gerald sitting near the firepit.
"I saw Helga unchanging..." I admitted out.
"Really? What did you see?"
"Nothing really. I mean, all I saw was the back of her bra strap."
Gerald nodded, smirking again. I looked at him, confused.
"What?" I asked.
"You also saw through her shirt today."
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Gerald, that was an accident. Besides, she was drenched. We all were. I'm pretty sure she saw my chest through my t-shirt too."
Gerald shrugged. "Were they nice?"
I gasped. "Gerald!"
"What? We're in high school now. Things like that are going to be brought up." He pointed out.
I nodded. "Yeah. You're right."
"So..." Gerald nudged me. "Were they nice?"
"You were standing there. You saw them too."
"Yeah but I want to know your opinion on them. Are you embarrassed?"
I shook my head. "They were...I dunno. She was wearing a pink bra."
"I bet you wish to see more of it huh?" Gerald grinned.
I shrugged. "I dunno and i'm not about to have this perverted conversation with you."
Gerald chuckled. "Whatever you say."
***
That night, everybody sat around the campfire and listened to ghost stories. I had Marley holding onto my arm while Helga sat next to me. I wish it was Helga that was holding onto me and not Marley. Once the ghost stories ended, everybody got up and headed off to bed. All except me and Helga.
"I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow." Marley said then kissed my cheek before standing up and leaving.
I watched Marley and everybody else leave before I scooted close to Helga then took her hand into mines.
"Today was pretty fun huh?" I said.
Helga nodded. "Yeah. That water fight was awesome."
I smiled as I stared at Helga. She stared back at me then leaned forward and kissed me. I quickly pulled away.
"Listen, sorry about earlier. You know, walking in on you changing."
Helga shook her head. "It's not a big deal."
I nodded then kissed Helga again. I hadn't even noticed that while me and Helga were kissing, Marley was watching us from afar.
