The story opens up in the PS 118 class room when Helga is out sick for the day,
Mr. Simmons:"Class I have some very exciting news A transfer student from Canada named Marissa is about to join us in our 4th grade class today! Now everyone say hello to Marissa."
"Hello Marissa" the class mumbled.
Mr. Simmons:"Marissa you may take Helga`s desk for today since she`s out sick but tomorrow we`ll have a new desk of your very own."
Marissa"Thank you."
Phoebe:"Hello Marissa since your new here do you want me to show you around after school."
Marissa:"I would like that very much thanks."
After school,
Phoebe:"And this is the Arcade this is were we usually hang out after school."
The Marissa glances across the street and looks toward Arnold,
Marissa:"Who is that?"
Phoebe:"Who Arnold?"
Marissa:"Yeah Arnold he is very cute and he looks like he is a very nice person could you introduce us please."
Phoebe:"Sure I guess."
They run across the street and greet Arnold.
Phoebe:"Arnold this is Marissa, Marissa this is Arnold."
Arnold:"Hey Marissa."
Marissa:"Hey." then smiles "I do love your hat."
Arnold:"Um thanks."
Phoebe:"We`ll see ya around then." she says noticing Marissa`s infatuation with Arnold. She pulls her hand and leads her away while Marissa is still smiling at batting her eyelashes at Arnold.
Phoebe:"I gotta go now and visit Helga to see how she is doing and give her my thermos full of chicken noodle soup."
Marissa:"Ok bye."
Next day,
"Mr. Simmons:"Class I`m sorry to report that Helga is still sick so were all going to make her get well cards!"
Class sighs,
Mr. Simmons:"And after your done making a card for Helga you can all make a card for whoever you want!"
Later at lunch,
Marissa:"Hey Phoebe."
Phoebe:"Yes Marissa?"
Marissa:"We`ll see I made a card for Arnold....."
Phoebe:"Why Arnold?"
Marissa:"Wait you didn`t let me finish I kinda have a crush on him and this card expresses my feelings and I was wondering could you give it to him for me?"
Phoebe:"But I......"
Marissa:"Please????"
Phoebe:"Fine I will deliver the card for you!"
Later at lunch,
Phoebe was busy thinking,
Phoebe:"Oh no what should I do I mean I know Helga really likes Arnold and she`s my best friend so I can`t betray her and deliver this message and I promised Marissa I would Oh No! what should I do?"
Arnold:"Hey Phoebe."
Phoebe:"Oh Hello Arnold."
Arnold:"What`s the matter?"
Phoebe:"Nothing why would you think anything was the matter for?"
Arnold:"Does it have anything to do with Marissa?"
Phoebe:"We`ll sort off....."
Arnold:"Not to be mean or anything she kinda gives me the creeps and it seems to me she might like me cause she keeps on staring at me!"
Phoebe:"Oh?"
Arnold:"Yeah do you have any clue on how you could get her to only want to be friends with me cause I don`t really know her and I already like Lila.."
Phoebe:"We`ll we could try to get her to like someone else?"
Arnold:"Like who?"
Phoebe glances around the room and spots Sid.
Phoebe:"How about Sid?"
Arnold:"Ok whatever but how are we gonna get her to like him?"
Phoebe:"I have an idea."
Sid:"Marissa?"
Phoebe:"Yeah do you like her?"
Sid:"I guess she`s ok but I don`t really know her."
Phoebe:"We`ll she really likes you!"
Sid:"Really?"
Phoebe:"Oh yeah she says that she thinks you're the cutest and nicest boy she ever met."
Sid:"We`ll she is right about that."said Sid getting a little full of himself. "Maybe me and her would make a good couple after all."

Arnold:"Yeah Sid has a major crush on you and me being his friend I`m afraid we can`t go out."
Marissa:"He likes me that much?"
Arnold:"Yeah he`s totally obsessed with you he told me you're the nicest and most beautiful girl he has ever met."
Marissa:"We`ll cool I think I`m beginning to like him."
