Hey Arnold "Arnold Betrays Iggy" Fix Fic
Arnold was walking on the red carpet, wearing bunny pajamas for everyone of Hillwood to see. He felt very ashamed; it was the worst day of his life. He couldn't believe that even his own grandfather was laughing at him.
Arnold's grandmother pushed through the crowd to see what was all the commotion. She was appalled that everyone was laughing at her own grandson.
Grandma Gertie: Phil, what are you doing? Why are you laughing at our grandson?
Grandpa Phil put his camera down.
Grandma Gertie went to give Arnold Shortman a big hug. She tried to get him away from the crowd.
Iggy's parents came to see him.
Iggy's mom: Iggy, we are a Christian family. We believe in forgiveness.
Iggy's dad: We are very disappointed in you. Very disappointed.
Iggy's mom: We're going to have to schedule you a confession with our parish priest.

Soulmates
It’s so late, but I got it in on time!
Day 6: Soulmates
Gertrude Shortman was a lot of things: eccentric, a troublemaker, sometimes confused. But she was by no accounts an idiot…or as confused as her family liked to think. And she might wear glasses, but she was far from blind.
“Kimba,” she said waving her spoon towards him. “What’s with that face? What’s the matter?”
Arnold sunk deeper into the chair, his arms wound tight around his chest as the pout jutted out more, “Grandma, did you ever have to deal with someone that made you--frustrated?”
Gertie smiled and tapped her chin with the spoon, the chili sticking on the skin, “Hmmm…well, I guess there was this one person--when I was young.”
At that, Arnold perked back up, “Really?”
She nodded, “Yeah, but there’s not really a story or anything there if that’s what you’re expecting there, Kimba.”
He drooped back down, “Oh.”
“Yeah, but there are other stories I could tell if that’s what’s gonna make you feel better,” she said and turned back to stir her pot of chili. The sound of the chair moving towards her brought a smile to her face.
“What stories?” Arnold asked, eyes wide and bright when she turned around.
Gertie put down the spoon and the top of the pot so it would simmer. She leaned against the counter and smiled down at her grandson.
“There’s this one story that my grandmother used to tell me when I was just a little bit older than you,” Gertie started with a small smile. “She always told me how you could tell who your soulmate was…at least according to old myths and legends and all those stories of the past times.”
“Soulmates? What’cha talking about, Grandma?” Asked Arnold, his brows knitting together in confusion.
“Soulmates,” Gertie said, hands raising over her heads as she looked heavenwards. “The essence of two people that are completely and utterly meant for each other.” She looked down and saw the awed look on his grandson’s face so she continued, “There are stories that say that these kind of people were are two souls that complement each other to the point where they are almost merged as one. They’re very likely.”
Arnold opened his mouth a little, a gasp escaping his mouth, “Really?”
Gertie chuckled, “Oh, but that’s not you, Arnold,” she took a pause as she saw the disappointment settle on his face. “Oh, no. I think you’re destined for a little more than that.”
The smile returned to the boy’s face as he leaned in to listen closer, literally, “What do you mean?”
“Well, the two souls type is more for someone like your Mom and Dad who kept crashing into each other, sometimes a little literally, but for someone like you Granny Etta had something more complicated, something she said she’d only seen every two generations.”
He frowned and he mouthed a few things before brightening, “Two generations means me. And you?”
She hummed and shrugged, “Ah, Kipendi, there’s only the speculation but not the concrete details. Now do you want to hear about the kind of soulmates I think you’ve got?”
Arnold nodded, the small blue cap almost slipping from his head. Gertie laughed and continued, “The other kind was described originally one soul that had been split into two different people. That while they would be independent individuals that would thrive on their own, being together would complete their hearts and souls.”
She saw that there was a little twinkle in his eyes and she kept going, “These kind of soulmates are the kind that have known each other for, oh, probably since they were children. They say that their war cries could be heard across the battlefields so that the other could know if they were in pain or need.”
There was a twitch at his eyebrow, green eyes growing distant with thought.
“Sometimes they know each other so well,” Gertie continued, “that they know things no one else had ever realized about them. And no one really understands the draw for each other. They bring out each other’s softer side--or fiercer side…”
A goofy smile started curling on Arnold’s lips, and she chuckled, standing up and distracting him from his thoughts, “But what do I know, Kimba, it was just a story.”
She opened the pot and started stirring the chili again, the sound of the heating pot the only noise in the kitchen. Then from the corner of her eye she saw Arnold’s crown of blond hair.
“Grandma,” he asked, “do you think soulmates are real?”
Before she could respond, Phil came waltzing into the kitchen, newspaper tucked under his arm, “Pookie, when’s the food gonna be done. I’m starving.”
She laughed, “In a few minutes, mon capitan.” Then she turned to Arnold, who was still watching her with wide and hopeful eyes, “Yes, Arnold, I absolutely do.”
