INT. THE READS' LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON

Arthur is sitting on the couch, watching Dark Bunny alone. D.W. runs into the room and stops next to the TV.

D.W. said "Arthur! It's my TV time! Mary Moo Cows' on!"

Arthur sounded annoyed hearing her. "D.W., Mary Moo Cow won't be on for five minutes, and I'm trying to watch the end of Dark Bunny!"

D.W. Walks up to the couch, standing near where Arthur is sitting. "But Arthur, Dark Bunny always goes on too long, and it makes me miss the start of Mary Moo Cow!"

"D.W., we agreed that you could have the TV at 3:30, now would you please be quiet just for a few minutes? Besides, you'll only miss the theme song, it's the same every time." Arthur quickly turns his attention back to Dark Bunny.

"Dr. Origami is out of prison already? Luckily, I know where to him find at!"

Arthur has his attention devoted to Dark Bunny, and does not notice D.W. slyly reach for the TV remote. She quickly snatches it up and changes the channel.

"Hey!" Arthur angrily shouts. He leans over, reaching for D.W. She leans away as Arthur tries to grab her. "D.W., you have to give that back! You can't see Mary Moo Cow yet!"

"Says who?" She teases while evading Arthur. "You're not the boss of me, Arthur."

Arthur yells "MOM! D.W.'s changing the channel before it's her turn!"

MASTER BEDROOM

David and Jane are in their formal attire. David is adjusting his bow tie in the mirror while Jane fixes her hair… this is, until they hear Arthur's call.

Jane calls back to them. D.W. "Let Arthur have his turn, and both of you stop fighting! You need to be well behaved for the babysitter!"

Jane turns to David. "How do I look? Is my hair okay?"

David smiles. "You look fantastic. What about me? Is my tie on straight?"

Jane pauses and crosses her arms, making David nervous.

David said "I- Is something wrong?"

Jane said "Well… I don't know. It's been so long since we've had a babysitter, and-" her thoughts are interrupted by the telephone ringing. She swiftly answers it. "Hello?" She goes quiet for a moment, making David wonder who's talking to Jane. "Oh yes, hello! ... What? That's terrible! Are you alright? ... Yes, we'll be fine, but what about you? ... No no, that's alright ... Alright, I'm just glad you're safe. I hope things go well for you ... You too, have a goodnight."

Jane walks back to David and looks at him with concern.

David said "So… who was that?"

Jane spoke, looking and sounding incredibly distressed. "It was the Babysitter. She was just in a fender bender."

David gasps. "Oh! Is she alright?"

Jane nods. "She's fine, but she won't be able to come babysit tonight."

David said "Well, what are we going to do? Nobody else will be able to come on such short notice!"

Jane and David both look at each other for a second, before both saying a name in unison. "Arthur Michel?"

INT. THE READS' LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON

Jane and David are sitting on the couch with Arthur.

David said. "Arthur, we just got a call from the babysitter. She was in a minor car accident and can't come over to babysit tonight."

Jane said. "So we were wondering, do you think that you could watch Kate and D.W.?"

"The whole night?" Arthur asked nervously.

FADE TO: ARTHUR'S IMAGINATION

INT. 2ND FLOOR LANDING - IN IMAGINATION - NIGHT

Arthur walks past the stairs, with Kate in his arms. As he walks, preoccupied with Kate, D.W., in her pajamas, runs to the stairs with a sled.

"Yahoo!" She cheers while sledding down the stairs.

Arthur gasps when he sees what D.W. is doing.

"D.W.! You can't do that, Mom and Dad will get mad! Besides, you need to be in bed!"

D.W. begins to run back up the stairs. "You're not the boss of me, Arthur!"

Arthur yells. "Michael! Help me get D.W. into bed!"

When Arthur yells at D.W., Kate begins to cry. Michael`s voice came from the boys bedroom. "Arthur! D.W. put glue on the doorknob! I can´t get away! Help me!"

Arthur slams a hand into his face and groans. He moved his hands, and found himself sitting on the couch instead of chasing D.W. He was confused for a moment, but realized what was going on soon enough.

"Oh. I was daydreaming. Thank goodness that wasn't real."

Arthur felt relieved at first, but soon began growing anxious and worried, as if it was going to be real very soon.

Jane said. "Arthur, you've watched Kate and D.W. before."

Arthur said. "Yeah, but that was just for an hour while you were shopping or outside!"

Jane looks at David, who chuckles nervously, but says nothing.

Jane said. "That's true, but we don't have much choice. This is kind of a big job, but luckily, you are not alone!"

"Honey, we can't just cancel!" David stated. "This is Ed Crosswires' annual party! We could get a lot of clients for my catering and your accounting business. We HAVE to let the boys handle this!"

Jane sighed. "I guess you're right."

David said. "We'll talk to D.W., Arthur. We'll make sure that she knows that you boys are the bosses."

FADE TO:

D.W.'S ROOM

Jane and David are speaking with D.W.

Jane said. "D.W., we know that you usually have trouble getting along with your older brothers, but we really need you to try to be nice to both boys tonight."

D.W. complaining. "But mom, why do Arthur and Michael get to be in charge? Why can't I babysit them?"

Jane looks at David, expecting him to answer.

David said. "D.W., Arthur and Michael are in charge tonight. You're going to need to listen to them! They are going to tell us if you were bad or good."

"Don't worry though," Jane added. "if they're good or bad you can tell us too."

D.W. smiles a bit hearing that.

INT. READ RESIDENCE ENTRANCE - AFTERNOON

Arthur is standing near the door. David comes down the stairs and picks up his coat, putting it on as Jane comes down soon after.

D.W. runs down behind Jane.

David straighten his collar. "Okay Arthur, we'll be back home late, so make sure you're all in bed before we come back!"

D.W. jumps up and down. "I'll stay up and wait for you guys!"

Jane shook her head. "No you won't D.W. You all need to get plenty of sleep, tomorrow is the family photo after all!"

David nods. "And Michel if you really need something, call us, okay?"

Michel nods back. "Okay, have a good time!"

Jane smiles at her kids. "We will. See you when we get back!"

D.W. waves. "Bye mom! Bye dad!"

David waves back. "Bye D.W. Bye Arthur. Bye Michael!"

They both leave and shut the door. After locking it,

Jane looks over to her husband. "David, are you sure it is a good idea to leave Arthur and Michael alone with their two little sisters? What if something happens? Like… if Arthur gets another seizure, is Michael prepared for that?"

David shook his head. "Calm down honey, Michael knows where Arthur´s medicine is, and I told him that there's enough BRAT meals for two days, plus some sandwiches, salads, and baby formula too, and I made sure Michael knows where all of it is. Now, let's go, my dear. I wanna take my lovely and gorgeous looking wife to a party!"

Jane giggles, and they drive away feeling confident in their decision.

Read House - 5:15 PM

D.W. immediately begins pouting.

Arthur looks over. "D.W. why are you pouting?"

D.W. crossed her arms. "Mom and dad said that you and Michael are in charge, and they wouldn't even think about letting me babysit you two! I know I would be way better at this than you two!"

Michael frowns. "No you're not! Stop telling dumb lies like that!"

Suddenly, Kate begins to cry.

D.W. accusingly points at Michael. "Ah-Ha! You let Kate cry! You're doing a bad job! I'm calling Mom and Dad!"

D.W. runs to the phone. She picks up the handset from the phone

as Michael calls to her. "D.W.! This wouldn't have happened if you didn't annoy me!"

D.W. glares at him. "Nuh-uh!" She dials in a number. The phone can be heard ringing before a man picks up.

"Hello?"

D.W. yells into the phone. "Daaaaaad! Michael and Arthur are being bad!"

"What?!" Arthur shouted in anger. "I haven't done anything wrong!"

As he shouted, Kate began crying even louder. D.W. began snickering, until she heard the man on the phone speak again.

"Uuuh, what do you mean dad? I think you've got the wrong number sweetie."

Suddenly, he began sounding mad.

"Wait a second, is this a prank call?! I hate prank calls! Who in the world are you?!"

Michael walks up to D.W., removes the phone from her hand and puts it down on the receiver, ending the call.

Michael gave her an angry look. "D.W.! You don't even know Mom and Dad's phone number!"

D.W. put a finger on her chin. "Then who was that?"

INT. MR. RATBURN'S HOUSE - AFTERNOON

Mr. Ratburn is holding his telephone handset. He looks at it feeling insulted.

"Oh the nerve of those prank callers!"

He hangs up the phone.

BACK TO THE READ'S HOUSE

INT. READ RESIDENCE ENTRANCE - AFTERNOON

Michael, Arthur and D.W. still stood around the phone. The phone rings.

Arthur sighs. "Oh great. It's probably that guy you just called."

He picks up the phone. Hello?"

"Hey Arthur!" He recognizes the voice as Buster. Arthur seems to be surprised.

"Oh, hey Buster, what's going on?"

Busters sounds excited. "I was just at the mall and bought tapes of the entire first season of Bionic Bunny! Do you want to come over and watch it?"

Arthurs smiles. "Totally! I'll be right over and-" He looks at Michael who shook his head. "Forget it Arthur!"

Arthur was slightly disappointed. "Oh, that's right, I'm babysitting D.W. and Kate tonight, so I can't leave them. I can come over tomorrow evening though, is that fine?"

Busters sounds a bit disappointed. "Sure, I guess. See you then."

Arthur nods, before he remember Buster can't see him. "Bye, Buster." He hangs up, looking sad.

D.W. puts her hand on Arthur's shoulder and smiles. "Don't worry Arthur. I know what will cheer you up!"

FADE TO:

INT. THE READS' LIVING ROOM - 5:55 pm

D.W. is sitting on the couch, watching Mary Moo Cow.

Arthur is sitting on the armchair to the side with Kate next to him, reading a book. He is clearly uninterested in Mary Moo Cow, as is Michael, who is playing a game on Jane´s Computer.

Arthur looks over his book. "Can you remind me again why we're watching Mary Moo Cow?"

D.W. laughs. "Because it cheers you up! And it's educational for Kate. After this, she'll know all about the number four."

Arthur shook his head. "That's so dumb. I bet even Kate doesn't like this."

D.W. frons. "Why?"

Arthur says sarcastically "It's Mary Moo Cow. Besides, Kate likes "Love Duck" better!"

D.W. grumbles. "No way! Kate loves Mary Moo Cow!" She babbles in a baby voice. "Don't you Kate? Don't you just love Mary Moo Cow?"

D.W. suddenly recoils in disgust. She holds her nose. Ugh! I guess she REALLY doesn't like Mary Moo Cow."

Arthur closes his book and picks up Kate.

Arthur grimaces. "I guess I have to change her diaper!"

D.W. holds her nose. "Can I help?"

Arthur shook his head. "Thanks D.W., but I can change Kate's diaper myself."

INT. D.W. and Kate's Room

Arthur is changing Kate at the changing station. He removes one side's sticky tab from the diaper.

D.W. is standing nearby Arthur. She has a package of baby wipes in her hands.

D.W. looks over. "Arthur, don't you need these?"

Arthur declines. "No D.W., I already have some. I don't need any help with this." He begins to remove the other sticky side.

D.W.'s arm can be seen reaching up the the table. In her hand is a container of baby powder. "Do you want some baby powder? You don't want Kate to get a rash!"

Arthur starts losing his patience. " I don't need any baby powder yet. I haven't even gotten the old diaper off!"

He finally begins to remove the diaper from Kate. Just as he begins to take it completely off, D.W.'s hand can be seen again, this time with a tube of ointment in it.

D.W. seems to be concerned. "What if Kate already has diaper rash? Do you need any rash cream?"

Arthur is visibly angry, he holds up his arms and then tosses them down. sighs. "Actually D.W., you can help."

D.W. holds out her hands as Arthur hands her a dirty diaper.

Arthur said "Would you take that to the trash?"

D.W. walks away disgusted, holding the diaper in her outstretched arms.

"Gross!" She grumbles.

INT. BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS - 6:20 PM

Arthur, Kate, and D.W. head down the stairs and stop at the foot of the steps.

D.W. smiles. "Now that that's done, do you two want to play Confuse The Goose?"

Arthur nods. "Sure, I'll play Confuse The Goose." "Well, just don't make trouble tonight, okay!"

D.W. cheers. "Yay!"

Arthur said "But first, I need to feed Kate dinner." He walks away,

causing D.W. to frown. "Hey! I want dinner too!" She runs after Arthur.

INT. THE KITCHEN - 6:25 pm

Michael, who prepares some food on the plates, looks over. "Arthur what was all that shouting?"

Arthur waves it away. "Oh you know, me and D.W. play the shouting game all the time!"

Michael laughs. "Yeah you do. Alright Arthur, you get the plate, I'll be right back!"

D.W. sits at the table and Kate in her "boosted" chair.

Arthur turns away from the counter he was working at. He holds two dishes, one plate and one bowl. He places a dish of Hawaiian shrimp in front of D.W.

She looks at it, and makes a disgusted face. "What is this?"

Arthur places the bowl of shrimp in front of Kate. "It's dad's Hawaiian shrimp, we've had it before."

D.W. crossed her arms. "That doesn't mean I like it!"

Arthur takes Michael's plate of shrimp from the counter to his spot at the table. "It's been so long since you've tried it. How do you know that you won't like it now?"

D.W. glares at him. "I just know it!"

Arthur looks mildly at his sister. "The same way you "knew" that you hated spinach?"

He was looking at Kate, who is happily eating the shrimp. Arthur points on his baby sister. "See! even Kate eats it, and you're four times older than she is!"

D.W. places her fork down on her plate. "Couldn't I just have a peanut butter jelly sandwich tonight?"

Arthur rolls his eyes. "D.W., dad worked hard to make this for us. If you want a peanut butter jelly so much, why don't you make it yourself?"

D.W. gets up from her seat grumbling. "Fine then, maybe I will."

Arthur watches D.W. as she tries to make a sandwich. She opens a cabinet and removes bread, peanut butter, and jelly. She places them on the counter and steps up on a stool to reach the counter. digging into a drawer and getting a small butter knife.

Arthur's eyes widen in fear seeing her holding the knife. D.W. drops the knife, almost hitting her feet. "Oops!"

Arthur leaps up from his seat and runs to D.W., snatching the knife. "Alright alright! I'll make you a sandwich, just promise me you won't use knives anymore."

Arthur quickly and safely makes the sandwich . D.W.'s head peaks up over the counter and she groans. "Arthur! I hate crusts!"

"So? Just rip it off!" He said annoyed.

D.W. looks at him with big eyes. "Can't you cut it off?"

Arthur rolls his eyes again and cuts the crust off of the sandwich."There, enjoy it!"

D.W. smiles. "Yes! Thank you Arthur!"

Arthur sighs. "Phew, little sisters are weird!" He lowers his voice. "I hope Kate doesn't become a second D.W.!"

Michael chuckles at that. "Arthur, I got Your dinner warmed up in the oven. What were you two doing earlier?"

Arthur groaned. "I was making D.W. a Pb&J sandwich! She tried to use the knife by herself, which was really dumb of her! She could've been hurt!"

Michael sighs in relief. "Yeah. You know Arthur, you and D.W. don't get along on a lot of things, but you also care about each other a lot too. Doesn't that seem weird?"

Arthur looks away from Michael. "Yeah, it is." He walks away, trying to hide his red cheeks.

INT. THE DINING ROOM – 7:15 PM

Arthur has set up Confuse The Goose on the dining room table, both him and D.W. are playing.

D.W. said. "Oh no! You won Arthur! I was so close! How could you win? Did you cheat?"

Arthur yawned. "No D.W., I didn't cheat. Besides, you've won plenty of times before."

Michael points to the clock. "Okay, it's time for me to give you and Kate a bath. Arthur, go get some rest!"

D.W. gets polite. "Okay Michael, I'll clean up Confuse The Goose while you start the bath."

Michael picks up Kate and walks upstairs.

INT. THE KITCHEN – 7:25 PM

D.W. is not cleaning up Confuse The Goose, she is stuffing a butterfly net into the refrigerator. While D.W. is doing that,

Nadine appears. "What are you doing, D.W.?" She asks, startling the girl.

D.w. Said "Oh. Jeez, I can't take it, Nadine."

Nadine frowns. "Can't take what?"

D.W. gets frustrated. "Arthur and Michael! I can't take their stupid rules! They're making the night so hard!"

Nadine looks confused. "Is that why you're putting a net in the fridge?"

D.W. smiles. "I'll get Arthur and Michael to open it, then the net will trap both of them until mom and dad get home!"

Nadine shook her head. "You didn't think that through at all. What's gonna stop them from telling your mom and dad when they get home?"

D.W. put her hands on her hips. "I can take care of myself, Nadine. I'm five years old!"

Michael calls down from upstairs. "D.W.? Are you done yet, or do I need to come down there?"

Nadine smiles. "Looks like you'd better go, D.W. I'll see you later!" She disappears.

D.W. closes the refrigerator with the net in it. "Coming Michael!"

INT. THE BATHROOM – 7:30 PM

D.W. and Kate are both in the bath. Michael is shampooing Kate, his baby sister giggles and squeaks.

As he lathers her, D.W. reaches for the knob to activate the shower. Without looking away from Kate, Michael reaches his hand out and slaps D.W.'s arm away from the knob.

Michael shook his head. "Nice try, D.W., you may be able to get Arthur with that trick, but I watch anime. You can't trick me." He rinses off Kate and turns to D.W., who herself turns away.

Michael squints his eyes. "Are you going to let me shampoo you, D.W.? Or are you going to just take the family photo with dirty hair?"

D.W. grumbles. "I hate it when you shampoo my hair! You always get some in my eyes!"

Michael sighs. "D.W., it would be even worse if you tried to do it yourself! You would get a ton of it in your eyes!"

D.W. glares at him. "Would not!"

Michael shrugs. "Okay then, do you want to try?"

She nods. "Sure, if it'll show you that I can take care of myself!"

D.W. snatches the bottle of shampoo from Michael's hand and squirts a large glob directly on her head, not even lathering it in her hands. See, this isn't hard at all!"

As D.W. lathers, a lot of foam is formed. The foam begins to drip down and cover her face. "Ahhh! Ahhhh! Help me! It's attacking my face!"

Michael pours water on D.W.'s head, cleaning off the soap.

"Do you see now why Arthur and I do it?"

She sighs. "Yes…"

Arthur came in and picks up Kate from the tub. Suddenly, he begins to stumble. Michael jumps up and helps him get his balance "Arthur, are you alright? Why were you wobbling like that?"

Arthur shakes his head "I'm fine Michael, just a bit dizzy from my nap and the pill! Don't worry about it, I'm going to get Kate ready for bed, alright? You keep an eye on D.W.!"

Michael gets a towel to dry D.W. off. "Come on, I have to make sure Arthur and Kate don't fall!"

Michael gasps in shock, realizing something horrifying. "Wait a minute, Arthur wasn't supposed to take that Pill until 9:15 PM! Why would he take it early?! i can't leven him alone for a second"

D.W. grimaces. "I don't like this, maybe we should call mom and dad." now !

Michael shook his head. "We don't need to! The last thing we need is for mom and dad to come home early! They deserve to enjoy this evening! They do enough for us, we can handle this tonight!"

"Yeah… but, Arthur is displaying all the symptoms mom told us about. Slurred speech, stumbling, and Dizziness. She told us if that happens we should really call her!" please Michel"

Michael began becoming nervous. He remembered that too, but still didn't want to. He didn't know what to do anymore.

D.W. and Kate's Room – 7:45 PM

Arthur changes Kate into her pajamas and places her into the crib. "Good night Kate." She looks at him and yawns.

Michael came rushing in, exhaling in relief. "Phew, you didn't drop her!

Arthur sighs annoyed. "Michael stop worrying so much! I'm fine, it was just a stumbled!" Kate seem to like it she was giggle"

Michael nods. "Alright Arthur, let's go downstairs. I will stop worrying if you are sitting down, good night Kate!"

Both boys left the room, Arthur turned the light off.

INT. THE READS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 8:25 PM

Arthur is playing solitaire on the coffee table in silence. The silence is broken when D.W. walks in, looking confused.

"Why are you playing cards without another person?"

"It's solitaire D.W. It's meant to be played this way."

D.W. came over. "You play against yourself?"

Arthur shook his head. "No, you just... don't need anyone else."

D.W. giggles. "Sounds like big people stuff! Will you teach me to play?"

Arthur groans. "No D.W., you can't read the numbers on the cards. When you can count and read numbers, I'll teach you how to play it, alright? Oh, speaking of reading numbers..."

D.W. raises and eyebrow. "What? What did I do?"

Arthur smiles amused. "Nothing! It's just time for you to go to bed."

D.W. gasps. "Whaaaaat? Do I have to?"

Arthur said "Yes, you have to. It's not like you can stay up until mom and dad get back." takes D.W. by the hand, and they both head upstairs.

INT. D.W.'S ROOM – NIGHT 8:45 PM

Arthur is tucking D.W. in for the night. She is in bed and Kate is in her crib, sleeping with her teddy in her arms.

Arthur fondles D.W´s hair. "Goodnight, D.W., have nice dreams!"

Just before Arthur can leave…

"Arthur?" D.W. shyly says.

Arthur said "What?"

D.W. hesitates for a bit, but continues. "Mom and dad always tell me a story before I go to bed."

Arthur thinks a moment. "D.W., I don't know any stories to tell you."

D.W. looks sad. "Can you make one up? Pleeeeeeeeease!"

Arthur groans. "Alright alright. What do you want it to be about?"

D.W. smiles as her brother sits down next to her. "Tell me a story about a silly animal."

Arthur pauses for a moment, struggling to think of what to say. Eventually...

"Once upon a time, there was a moose who was upset that his antlers were so long. Even though all of his friends had long antlers, and everyone thought long antlers were cool, he didn't like his, so he thought about..."Arthur didn't have a story in mind going into this, but the words continued coming to him, and eventually, he finished telling his sister about the moose with long antlers.

Arthur looks at D.W. and smiles. "How was that?"

D.W. pouts. " Kind of weird, but I guess it's still a story."

Arthur smiles amused. "Goodnight, D.W., see you tomorrow!"

D.W. Said "Good night, Arthur!"

Arthur walks out, turns off the light and sighs. "Phew, making stories is harder than I thought. My head hurts."

Meanwhile in the Kitchen

Michael looks in the pill dispenser with Arthur´s medicine. After looking inside, he got the strange feeling something was wrong. "I'm confused. It doesn't look like he's taken his pill for today, but, didn't he say he already did? Hopefully if he didn't he will take it before 9:00 PM."

Arthur sleepily places the last card of the game on a stack. He looks at the clock, which reads 9:00 PM.

Arthur yawns. "I guess I'd better go to bed."

"Arthur! Arthur!" He heard Michael shouting from upstairs.

"I know, it's time to sleep! I'm crazy tired after everything I did today." Arthur stood up and left the living room, only thinking about going to sleep.

INT. ARTHUR'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Arthur walks into their room in his blue pajamas and bunny slippers. Michael lies in his bed and reads a book. Arthur walks to his bed and gets in, taking off his slippers. Pal runs in and lays down near his bed.

Arthur yawns again. "Goodnight, Michael, goodnight Pal." He turns off the light above his bed and quickly falls asleep.

Michael said "I'm still confused, I gotta check again and see if he took his pill or not."

He heads back downstairs and turned the kitchen light on. When he did, he noticed something very bad. Shoot! Arthur's pill is on the counter! I was so busy checking his container I never saw it there!"

Michael rushed upstairs with the pill and tried waking Arthur up. "Arthur! You never took your pill! Get up and take it, please!"

No matter how much Michael tried, Arthur was fast asleep. Michael got a very bad feeling in his stomach.

FADE TO ARTHUR'S DREAM:

INT. THE READS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 10:00 PM

In Arthur's dream, he is watching TV in the living room when a commercial plays.

"Do you want money?" The announcer in the commercial asked. "Do you have a sister that you want off your hands? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you need "Cash for Sisters!""

The scene on the TV switches to show a box being sent at a post office.

"Simply send your sister to our address and we'll send you a check! The more annoying your sister is, the more cash you get!"

Arthur smiles. "Hmmm..."

Suddenly, Arthur sees D.W. walk down the stairs, crossing her arms.

"Arthur! I thought we were going to watch Mary Moo Cow!"

Arthur points to another end of the house. "D.W.! Is that an octopus?"

"An octopus?! Where?"

Arthur suddenly slams a large cardboard box over D.W., flips it over, and tapes it shut.

D.W. could be heard in the box. "Hey! What are you doing Arthur?!"

Arthur writes "CAUTION: ANNOYING" on the box in very large letters.

Arthur heads outside and hands the package to a mailman in the front yard, who takes it to his truck. Arthur had a big smile as he saw the mailman drive away with the box.

TRANSITION TO:

INT. A FANCY LOOKING HOUSE - DAY

Arthur is sitting on a couch in an overly-rich house. Everything in sight is made of diamonds and jewels. Arthur also is wearing his turquoise tuxedo.

Jane walks up to him, she is in a gown with many jewels also on her. She has two necklaces in her hands.

Jane seems to be confused. "Oh Arthur, do you think that I should wear the gold necklace or the platinum one?"

David walks up to her. "Just wear both! We were able to get so much money when Arthur sold D.W. that we can get anything we want!"

Jane laughs. "Oh, and I forgot to give you your allowance, Arthur."

Jane pulls out an incredibly large wad of money and hands it to Arthur. He continues smiling, just like he did when he saw the mailman ride away with the box.

FADE BACK TO:

INT. ARTHUR'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 10:10 PM

Arthur is asleep in his bed. His door slowly opens, and a sliver of light can be seen on the floor. It slowly grows bigger, eventually going onto Pal's face. The light on his face causes Pal to wake up. He looks at the person standing in the door and barks at them.

Arthur groggily lifts his head. "Pal, what is it, boy?"

Arthur can't see very well since he's still tired, but a shadowy silhouette is standing in Arthur and Michael's doorway.

Arthur begins to yell, putting on his glasses. It was then he saw the figure was D.W.

He was whispering "D.W. what are you doing here?"

She whispers back. "I had this bad dream where I was sleeping and an octopus looked into my window. He looked at me and broke the window, then he grabbed me and swam away with me!"

Arthur sighs annoyed. "It was just a dream, it's no big deal."

"But when I woke up, I saw him in my window!"

Arthur glares at her. "D.W., there is no octopus in your room."

D.W. crossed her arms. "You don't know that! You can't know for sure!"

Arthur straightens his glasses. "Well for one thing, we don't live underwater. Second, why would an octopus be at your window?"

D.W. started getting louder. "I'm telling you I saw him!"

Arthur sighs annoyed. "Fine, let's go see this octopus."

Arthur gets out of bed and slips into his slippers. He gave Pal a quick shush and checked on Michael, who was somehow sleeping like Kate after all that. Arthur and D.W. went out of the room.

INT. D.W.'S ROOM - NIGHT 10:15 PM

Arthur and D.W. walk into D.W.'s room. She points to her window in fear. "There he is!"

D.W. cowers down by Arthur's legs, closing her eyes. The window has a silhouette of things that look like tentacles on it, scratching against the window making a scary noise. Arthur was not scared, he turned on the light. With the light is turned on, the objects are revealed to be tree branches. "See D.W., it's just the tree. There isn't a single octopus here."

D.W. stops cowering. "B- but… what if he's just in a disguise?"

Arthur sighs. "Well what do you want me to do? I've already shown you there's no octopi here."

D.W. looks up meekly. "Mom and dad usually let me sleep in their bed."

Arthur sighs. "D.W., I am not letting you sleep in my bed."

D.W. looks around and shivers. "But Arthur, it's too scary to sleep in here! Please, just this once?"

Arthur pauses. "Fine, I'll let you sleep in my room, but for tonight only."

INT. ARTHUR'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 10:20 PM

Arthur and D.W. walk into the bedroom. Arthur gets in bed, and D.W. carries a blanket and pillow.

Arthur points to one side of his bed. "You can sleep there."

D.W. climbs onto the spot where Arthur pointed and cuddles into the blanket.

"Goodnight, Arthur."

"Goodnight, D.W."

PAN: THE CLOCK, IT READS 10:30 PM

FADE: THE CLOCK NOW READS 12:30 AM

The door opens again, but it does not wake Michael, Pal, Arthur, nor D.W. The people in the doorway are Jane and David. When they both see Michael, Arthur and D.W. asleep, they both look at each other and smile.

FADE TO:

INT. THE KITCHEN - MORNING 8:30 AM

Jane and David are sitting at the table, David is drinking coffee from a mug. Arthur enters the kitchen, followed by Michael with Kate in his arm and D.W.

"Mom! Dad!" They all call.

They both give each of them a hug.

David smiles. "So, how did everything go last night?"

Jane seems to be amused by something. "Was it as bad as you thought it would be?"

Arthur and D.W. look at each other and smile.

Arthur said "You know, it was better than I thought it would be."

D.W. said "Yeah, me too."

Michael nods. " Yeah. D.W. eventually started to act okay."

D.W. smiles sheeply. "And Arthur told me a bedtime story when I asked him to."

Jane smiles. "Well I'm glad that it went well. That was very responsible of you boys, and you too D.W. You all grow up so fast now!"

Michael smiles. "No big deal mom, Arthur was downstairs playing while I was reading, and Kate was very easy to take care of." "But, Arthur forget his pill yesterday, but he was only a bit dizzy, so it's nothing to worry about!"

Jane frowns. "I found one of the pills on the kitchen counter alongside glass with water! Arthur, you did forgot to take it."

Arthur scratches his head. "Oh man, sorry mom. I was so tired last night I forgot!" I m not used to take pills

Jane sighs. "Arthur, please take your medicine as you have to, okay? And Michael, if something is wrong, call us the next time!"

Michael nods. "I know mom, but I didn't want to ruin your good time. Besides, nothing bad happened, so it's not that big a deal, right?"

David gets up and walks to the refrigerator. "The thing is Michael, you just never know. Sure, last night nothing bad happened, but sometimes bad things could happen and you won't even know. Thank you for thinking about us, but you, Arthur, D.W., and Kate's safety is much more important than some party."

Michael was quiet at first, but soon said "Okay dad."

With a smile from David, he opens the refrigerator, but is shocked to be engulfed by a butterfly net as soon as he opens it.

"What the-" He yells "D.W.!"

D.W. looks embarrassed. "Oops. Sorry about the butterfly net dad. I, uhm, tried to keep it fresh!"

Her father shook his head, half amused, half annoyed. Michael looks over to his brother. "Arthur, what's the matter? Why is your head down?"

Arthur shook his head. "I'm fine Michael, just a little headache!"

Jane frowns. "Are you sleepy?"

Arthur yawns. "A bit dizzy again, I know I forgot my pill, but I'll just take a nap on the ride to the family photo event."

Michael facepalms. "The photo! I forgot, we have to get our best clothes!"

David laughs. "Calm down, just a fresh shirt and your good jeans are enough! And Arthur, the doctor said you can take the pill in the morning when you forgot one the day before, and then tomorrow the next. Alright?"

Arthur nods. " Okay dad!"

Jane fills a glass with water from the sink, then he took his pill and drank the water.

When they finished breakfast, David claps in his hands. "Alright Reads, let's go! In fifteen minutes at the front door! This will be fun!"

Michael and Arthur share a look. D.W. stood up and ran upstairs.

Both boys said at the same time what they thought. "Hope so!"
