Chapter 3

D.W.: Okay, give me the lowdown.

Arthur: On what?

D.W.: (slightly bugged) School, of course. You have to tell me all the big-brother stuff, you know. Why do you think I asked you to walk me?

Arthur: Oh. Well... just have fun.

D.W.: That's it? That's your advice? I know how to have fun. I've been doing it for five years. You're supposed to tell me important things, like how to spell cauliflower and do yo-yo tricks.

Arthur: Okay, okay, um... (wondering how to spell cauliflower) C-A-U-L...

(Someone then appears behind Arthur. It turns out to be Buster, whose vest and undershirt are the same colors as D.W.'s clothes: blue.)

Arthur: Buster, phew! Just in time.

Buster: (excited) Did you bring it?

Arthur: (confused) Hmm? Bring what?

D.W.: Um, in case you didn't notice, I'm down here.

Buster: Oh. Hey, D.W. (gives D.W. a thumbs up). Good luck on your first day.

D.W.: (surprised) Luck? I don't need luck; I need advice. You two are about as helpful as a broken shoelace.

Arthur and Buster look angry. Arthur makes a note of this to tell his mother about D.W.'s behavior. But they turn away to face each other.

Buster: (still excited) Your lucky pencil, did you bring it?

HERE'S THE FIRST CHANGE

Arthur: Right here

Buster: Phew. In case you forgot, I brought some extra charms for both of us.

(One at a time, he shows the lucky charms to Arthur and D.W.)

Buster: My horseshoe, my lucky yam yamlet, this rock shaped like Iowa...

(We then hear bells jingling. Buster takes out a hat and gasps.)

Buster: My lucky hat! I should be wearing this!

(He then puts on the lucky jester hat.)

D.W.: (wondering) What's all that stuff for?

Arthur: Today, we find out if we're in the same class.

Buster: And we need all the good luck we can get.

D.W.: (laughing)

(She plays with the lucky jester hat for a little second.)

D.W. (thinks that they're not serious) You think all that mumbo-jumbo is going to help you?

Buster: (slightly mad) It's not mumbo-jumbo. I prefer to think of it as hocus-pocus.

D.W.: Well, whatever it is, it probably won't work. There's only one lucky charm that never fails.

(She takes out a miniature version of her unicorn, Uni.)

D.W.: Mini-Uni. She has the power of all the love in the entire world and uses it to grant a child a single wish.

Arthur: (angry) Hey, you said you weren't going to talk about unicorns.

D.W.: (angry) You said I wasn't going to talk about unicorns. I never agreed to that.

Buster: (desperate) Can I have it? Name your price!

D.W.: No way! Anyway, you two should probably be split up. You're a bad influence on each other.

Arthur and Buster: (gasp)

HERE'S ANOTHER CHANGE

Arthur: That's it! D.W., Apologize to Buster and me right now, or I'm leaving your stuff with you here, and you can walk to school all by yourself!

D.W.: No way! Mom said you had to, and I'll go tell her right now. (she then starts to cry)

(Buster then offers Arthur a lollipop.)

Buster: Lucky-First-Day lollipop?

Arthur: (gets a lollipop) Sure.

D.W.: (Realizing Arthur is serious, stops crying, and picks up her stuff by herself) Sorry, Buster.

AHA, There we go, folks. The first time in a while that D.W. is learning a lesson. Oh, but it isn't over yet. She is in for a long haul. But Arthur and Buster's lucky charms. Do they work? Stay tuned.
