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.
