Chapter 3 – The Road of Revenge is Long and Winding...

Everyone in the world has a guilty pleasure, something they liked to do that no one else knew about and that no one would understand. Arthur's guilty pleasure was army information. He stayed awake late at night and snuck downstairs to watch old war movies. When his friends were talking to him on MSN, he was secretly switching from the conversation to websites about the World Wars and the Vietnam War. He had trunks full of books and models from the wars that his grandpa had bought him before he died.

So Arthur, using all the fighting techniques he could possibly possess, followed some simple steps that other war leaders in the past had used. It was simple. He had to Divide and Conquer.

Arthur, Brain, Buster and Francine had been best friends for so long he knew everything about them including their weaknesses and their faults. The first thing he had to do, and this would be difficult for him, he would have to step back and see how this scene with Buster and Francine would play out. Would it be one of those things where they told everyone they were going out and then broke up two days later or would this be a serious-making out at every sleepover- calling each other every night- kind of thing.

Arthur stayed up all night long and worked all through Saturday as well on his simple 5-step plan to split up his best friends. It went like this:

Watch them.

Seperate them.

Weaken their relationship by deception.

Ensure they don't know that I am the source of their destruction.

Watch their so-called love bind BLOW UP IN THEIR FACES!

On Saturday night, while watching Meet The Fockers with his parents, he basically passed out on the couch and slept all through Sunday. When he woke up at around dinner time and saw his evil plan, he almost backed down. Then the horrifying image of Buster and Francine, with their heads together and their tongues down each other's throats, snapped him back into reality and he lay on his bed, cackling evilly.

MONDAY AT SCHOOL

To get into the spirit of his mission, Arthur wore army pants on Monday, to show Buster that he wasn't kidding around. He wanted his woman. (A/N LMAO. The phrase my woman makes me laugh. I'm sorry. Back to the story.)

Apparently, everyone in the entire world had been talking about this new couple that had erupted. Everyone was giggling. It was driving Arthur up the wall. He had to keep his cool though if Plan IWF was going to work. Plan IWF was conviniently named that because IWF stood for I Want Francine. :D

For all of Monday and Tuesday, he made small talk about how he knew that Buster and Francine were going to get together and how cute of a couple they make and how everyone knew that they were the first ones to French. It amazed Arthur that he only cracked once. He yelled right at Muffy when she started to ask the exact same question he had been asked over and over again for two days.

" Oh, don't they make an-" Muffy started.

" ADORABLE COUPLE! Yes, we've established that Francine and Buster do look amazingly cute together when they walk down the halls holding hands or when they gaze into each other's eyes during class but you know what! I DON'T WANT TO BE ASKED THE SAME FRICKING QUESTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN."

See? The cool was only lost for a moment.

It didn't matter anyways, he had completed Step 1. Step 2 would be difficult. He would actually have to sleep instead of staying awake cackling evilly to himself in his bed.
