I'd like to thank you all who have enjoyed the first chapter, sorry it took me so long to write this. I've had a lot of school B.S. to put up with.

I'd like to point out to everyone reading that is story is based of not only Big Hit, but also episodes like Cast away, and any other episode Arthur is treated pretty unfairly by friends and family.

That entire weekend, Arthur maintained his silence. He didn't say a single word to anyone. Not his friends, family, no one. He walked into school that Monday, braced for the worst. He walked through the classroom door with a devious smile, knowing what was yet to come.

"Mr. Read, I have this to give you, also, please do not unpack your things." Said his teacher, Mr. Ratburn

Arthur took the sheet. It was a petition to move him from the classroom. From that day until the end of the school year, Arthur would be in Ms. Sweetwaters' class. Arthur looked at his class, gave them a smirk, a thumbs up, and walked out.

Sweetwater's class was an utter bore. The work they were doing seemed more appropriate for a kindergarten student, not 3rd graders. Arthur spent nearly the entire day asleep. The only homework given that day was to find a pair of synonyms. Arthur's homework was done before he'd even left the classroom (he chose anger and fury.) Oh well, he'd rather be in a class that is boring but filled with people he barely knew rather than a class where he can get things done around people he hated. On his way home, he passed Mr. Ratburn's class. After Ratburn dismissed everyone for the day, he went to Arthur's locker, to see if he could speak to him.

"Arthur." he said "I appreciate the maturity you showed this morning, leaving the classroom without a fight or confrontation, but why would you be okay with leaving. I heard about what you did over the weekend. I know the story of your confrontation with your sister. I'd like you to know something."

Was this it? Was someone finally going to take Arthur's side and defend him?

"It is quite immature to hurt someone younger than you, regardless of what they had done first. You must always turn the other cheek. I'm sorry Arthur, but you did hurt your sister, and it was not fair."

Arthur's heart sank in anger, sadness, and disgust. While Ratburn began to talk some more, Arthur left. He turned and walked away. His former teacher called him back, but Arthur ignored him. He ignored everything. All the stares he was getting. All the odd looks. He did not care. He sprinted to his bike, and hid in the treehouse. He had been working on something, a door. He closed and locked himself inside the treehouse. He heard his friends walk up to the tree. They all started giggling. They began destroying his bike. He heard Francine throwing rocks at the door. He did not like this. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. He heard someone then come to stop them, it was Buster.

"All of you. Get out of here!" Buster yelled

Francine turned to Buster "You are not serious, are you?"

"Yes, I am you big mouth, now leave. I'm gonna go talk to Arthur!"

"Buster, don't you dare talk to him. He is a horrible person! He is a bully!"

"So are you! What's the difference!"

"You take that back, I'm the nicest person ever."

"No you aren't!"

Buster walked away, and began climbing the tree

"Buster Baxter! I swear if you say a word to him, you'll end up where he is."

Buster pounded on the door. "Arthur! You have to come out."

Arthur's heart became lighter, maybe Buster finally understood him.

"You have to acknowledge your mistake. You did something bad and you have to apologize!"

Arthur turned away. What a jerk. What a group of clueless morons. Buster was disloyal, Francine was a hyocrite, they were all bad people.

Eventually, they gave up and walked away. Arthur decided to stay in the treehouse. Once it struck 10:00, Arthur knew it was time to come home. He went in, and was greeted by his wild mother.

"WHERE WERE YOU?"

Arthur pointed to the treehouse, shrugged in acknowledgment of his misbehaviour, and walked away.

"HOW DARE YOU! NO TV FOR A MONTH, NO GOING ANYWHERE BUT SCHOOL, AND YOU WILL BE GOING TO BED WITH NO DINNER!"

Arthur maintained his silence and slammed the door.

About two hours later, D.W. walked in with their father. Actually, she was literally being dragged in, screaming.

"Its not fair! Arthur gets to go have fun with his friends at night time, and after he hurt me, but you don't get mad at him!"

"D.W., Arthur was in the treehouse with no one, and he is in trouble." David replied

"No, you like him better than me! Its not fair!"

"No we do not D.W."

"Yes you do!" she cried

D.W. ran up to Arthur's room, and right front of him, tore the place apart. Arthur got up and pulled her away, pushing her onto a chair so he could hold her down until his Dad came to stop her.

Instead, Jane came, and the situation became way worse. She thought Arthur had messed up the room trying to hurt his sister. David tried to explain the truth, but all that happened was a fight between them because David said D.W. wrecked Arthur's room. Jane was still believing Arthur was supposed to be mature, but taking this trash from D.W. and fighting was not mature at all. The action she wanted Arthur taking was completley spineless, and she couldn't see that. Arthur continued his silence streak through all of this. Eventually, Jane picked up a crying D.W. and took her to her room.

"How immature David. She is only 4, Arthur needs to understand that."

Arthur was left Dumbfounded at what his mother said. She was acting completely mindless. She never cared to talk to him when he needed it or anything. It seemed she only cared about D.W.

"Arthur-"

Arthur put his hand on his dad's shoulder, signaling him that it wasn't worth it. He went to bed. After David turned the lgiht off and went to his room, Arthur began crying again, keeping sure that no one walked in to see him in tears. No one cared about him. No one understood him. No one he knew had a younger sibling. Francine was like D.W. to Katherine, Muffy barely knew her older brother, Binky and Fern's younger siblings were just babies. The rest were only children. No one understood the pain he had. He was done, he wanted to end it, but he wasn't going to. He was going to continue until they understood him. He was going to be peaceful from now on. No more fighting. But he would still be on his silence strike, and he just didn't know what to do. He couldn't go to GrandmaThora, she was the youngest in her family, Arthur had no value with her opinion. Nor with GrandpaDave. His mother was the youngest girl in her family, but he disliked his Aunt Jessica, and Uncle Fred was all the way at the farm. Aunt Lucy always looked to give time to her favorite (and only) nephew, but she was on her honeymoon. Arthur decided to take a long shot. Tomorrow, he would send an e-mail to his Father's sister Loretta. She lived in Elwood City, but not close enough to realistically walk to. Maybe she and Arthur's cousin Mo could help somehow? That night, Arthur cried himself to sleep. It was a merciless world out there, and he had to tough it out. He had to show them, make them understand.

I hope you enjoyed that chapter. Please leave a review. If you are trying to remember Aunt Loretta and Cousin Mo. Think back to the season 1 family reunion episode. I personally felt like Mo could've been used a lot in the series, like as a mentor for Arthur or something, but that clearly was thrown away. Anyway, please tell me what you thought.

AS ALWAYS, STAY TUNED AND PLEASE REVIEW!
