DISCLAIMER: I don't own Arthur. If I did, that thing Ladonna wouldn't exist and Bud wouldn't replace Emily. Anyway, Marc Brown owns Arthur (both cartoon and book form).


"…and so then this alien with the four tits sucked his brains out with…"

"Hey don't spoil it, Buster!" Arthur said rolling his eyes at his best friend. The two teenagers were on their way to the school and Buster was telling Arthur about the new alien horror movie that had come out not too long ago. In his excitement about the movie, he had forgotten that his best friend hadn't seen the movie yet. "Sue Ellen and I hadn't seen it yet."

"Still?"

"Yeah. I had to help DW with her science project all last weekend and Sue Ellen was gone to Crown City."

"So you're going this weekend, right? You have just gotta see it and it's so scary. Sue Ellen'll be all over you." Buster winked and nudged his friend, winking and smirking. "You might even be getting lucky."

"Oh stop it, Buster." Arthur blushed slightly when Buster said this. "You know Sue Ellen's not going to give in. She'd kick my ass if I even tried."

"You never know, Arthur. She could change her mind and let you tap that…"

"Shut up! Muffy and Francine are up ahead!" hissed the aardvark. Once they got up to their friends, they both said their hellos. Muffy and Francine looked at them, glared at both of them, and returned to their conversation.

"Heeeellooooo! Earth to Muffy and Francine! We said hey!" said Buster.

"Fuck off, Buster!" Francine snapped. "And you can go fuck yourself too, four eyes!"

"Four eyes?" the two teenagers looked at each other. "What's the big idea, Francine? What the hell did I ever do to you?"

"Nothing. It's what you did to Sue Ellen, you cheater!"

"Sue…what did I do to her?" Arthur frowned. He went back over to what happened yesterday that would make his girlfriend mad. He couldn't think of anything at the moment and even if she was mad at him, she would have told him by now.

"Don't pretend like you don't know what we're talking about!" Muffy said. "You cheated on Sue Ellen with a bunch of whores!"

"What?!" Buster looked surprised. "When?"

"Don't pretend like you don't know, Benedict Arnold!" Francine poked Buster in the chest. "You were in on it too!"

"In on what?!"

"This!" Muffy pulled out her cell phone and showed the two a couple of pictures of Arthur cheating. One showed Buster taking a picture of himself and a rabbit girl while Arthur and the rabbit girl's look alike were making out in the background. The second one showed Arthur with his hands up a cat girl's t-shirt as he was making out with her while Buster was giving Arthur the thumbs up. Another one was background Arthur feeding a girl ice cream while Buster was taking his picture at the ice cream shop.

"Were the hell did you find these fake pictures?!" asked Arthur.

"On Buster's Virtual Space page, duh!" said Muffy.

"What?! Let me see…" Buster pulled out his cell phone and looked on his page. Sure enough the pictures were on his page. "I didn't put these on my account! I don't even remember taking these pictures! I don't even know who these people are! Someone's playing a prank on us!"

"It's a pretty sick prank if you ask me!" said Arthur furious.

"Just admit you cheated. The photos don't lie, Arthur!" said Francine.

"I didn't cheat!"

"Oh yeah? Then prove it!"

Arthur had started to say something, but then he closed his mouth. He had no proof. He couldn't count on Buster because they already thought that Buster was helping him (cheat) plus they'd say that Buster would lie for him, which he would. Suddenly Sue Ellen was sited with a girl from his class.

"Sue Ellen!" Arthur ran on over to his girlfriend. "You won't believe what I heard!"

"Oh what was that?" The cat said rather coldly.

"Well Muffy and Francine said I cheated on you and…"

"That's because you did, Arthur Read." Sue Ellen growled. "See?"

She too showed a picture of Arthur cheating. The aardvark rolled his eyes. "Buster didn't post that! We don't even know those people!"

She slapped him. "You fucking liar! Don't you dare lie to me! This is evidence enough for me to kick your cheating ass, but I won't do it. You know why? You're not worth it!"

"You actually believe I would…Sue Ellen you know me!"

"I thought I did." she turned away from him and headed into the school.

Arthur couldn't believe it. She actually believed the photos. They couldn't be real! He went back over to Buster who was standing by himself. "Well what did she say?"

Arthur explained what happened and Buster shook his head. Who would do this? Suddenly the bell rung indicating that it was time to go inside and start class. Once in the classroom, Arthur and Buster took their usual seats in the back of the classroom and waited for the other people to pour in. After sitting down for a little while, Arthur found his classmates whispering among each other and every now and then casting a nasty and/or curious look back at Arthur and Buster.

"Why the hell are people looking at us?" Buster whispered to his best friend.

"I bet it's those fucking pictures." said Arthur. "I can't believe Sue didn't believe me. Someone had to have been hacking your account or something because there's no way you could have posted those pictures!"

"They're obviously photoshopped. I don't even know those people in the pictures."

"Who the heck would even post that shit anyway?"

"Someone who has it out for us…but who?" Buster narrowed his eyes and looked all around the classroom. Who would have it out for them? Suddenly he had an idea. "I bet it was Binky!"

"Binky? Why the heck would Binky have it out for us?"

"Because! You know he liked Sue Ellen since…well forever! He might be the one doing it!"

"Binky's an idiot! How would he even…"

"It's aliens, I tell you!" said Buster.

"Oh would you just shut up and be serious!" Arthur was not in the mood. His girlfriend was a mad at him and now everyone thought he was a cheater.

"I am being serious!" Buster said. "Binky is in cahoots with aliens and in exchange for ruining your relationship with Sue Ellen and allowing him to get with her, they're going to suck out our brains!"

"That's stupid Buster." he snapped, for once not in the mood for Bus. As the day went on, people kept looking at the two teens and whispering. Arthur felt like yelling at all of them, but that would make him look worse. No one bothered speaking to him and he felt like he was being shunned because of someone getting into Buster's account. Whoever did this was going to pay dearly.


That's all for now. If you're wondering why the story is called Snowball...well you'll find out soon enough. Review please!
