Arthur was literally speechless, he couldn't believe it, because George was experiencing the same thing as Buster, "No way!"
"Yea, I guess I can go find a girlfriend now… What is Fern's number?"
Arthur sighed in utter disbelief, George and Buster now 'seemed' more mature than him, despite it wasn't possible. Arthur had taken a few minutes to try and comprehend on what had just happened a few short moments ago.
"I got to go, it was nice seeing you." George said as he left Arthur's for Ferns.
Arthur went to his room, he had sighed; George and Buster seemed to have no time for him, What if the same thing happened to Binky? What if it happens to all his friends and he is left behind?
He shook the crazy thoughts out of his head and began to think, he was thinking of the worse possible scenario ever imaginable.
(Fantasy Scene)
Buster was with Muffy going clothes shopping, he was holding all the bags for her while George was walking with Fern and Sue Ellen and they were both wearing nice looking dresses.
(End Fantasy Scene)
Arthur needed to think of a sure fire plan to be sure he can join his friends despite the consequences, he wasn't as desperate as anyone else, he was practically neutral in the whole group.
The problem stemmed was that 'what if they found out?' Arthur could lie, but chances are Buster probably did because he wanted to feel big. Arthur was devising a plan to see what he could do any idea he had was just dumb, because they would probably make him prove it some how or some other stupid thing, just to see if he was 'mature' enough.
He ran into the kitchen and found a small bottle of red food coloring for just in case, he had found Buster walking around with lots of shopping bags; they were Muffy's of course, and George talking to Fern and Sue Ellen.
Arthur seemed to be in a celebrative mood, "Buster!"
Buster nearly dropped the shopping bags due to Muffy's shock, "Watch it?" she yelled!
"What?" Buster asked as he knew it was big news.
"It happened, I am going through puberty!"
"That's great Arthur! I knew it would happen someday."
George was chuckling, "Guess that leaves Binky."
Binky overheard, "What leaves me?"
"The puberty thing, it seems that Arthur just started."
Binky swallowed his sadness, "B-but that isn't possible, I was supposed to get it before Arthur… and especially before Buster!"
To Binky this totally wasn't fair, none of these 'doofuses' were supposed to get it before him, he wanted to be the first one, not someone like Buster that in his mind probably wouldn't even go through it, he figured after Buster would never experience it, he would live with his mom for the rest of his life.
But to him this seemed like a harsh reality, the cold hard truth was out there despite that this cold hard truth was a lie just so Arthur could be able to do stuff with his friends.
Binky now needed to think, and that's what he did.
He needed to think of something really good to get his friends back, something that would be outright radical for what he was going to do, something that he hoped he would never regret.
He had went home looking for some money, this plan was risky, it was gutsy, when he had found $45 in his room; right after that he had went to the bathroom to do his business, no blood, "Aww this isn't fair!"
Mrs. Barnes knocked at the door, "What's wrong Binky?"
"I am not bleeding out of my butt!"
"Uh… That's a good thing."
Binky unlocked the door, "No it isn't"
Mrs. Barnes sighed, and she went downstairs, she figured 'kids these days.'
Binky left the house and went to the nearest pharmacy, he talked to the pharmacist, "Hello, I am looking for some male hormones."
He folded he arms and had a suspicious look on his face, "These aren't for you are they kid?"
"No, they are for my dad; he hasn't gone through puberty and he is really embarrassed about it, he sent me here to get them."
Binky and the pharmacist had made the exchange after some suspicious glances by the pharmacist, and Binky had left and ran home with the bottle in a small brown paper bag, and he ran up to the room.
He was filled with a strong sense of nervousness; he knew this was going to be risky. He had pulled it out of the paper bag, it had rattled slightly. He read it and the bottle stated, 'take one capsule per week.' But Binky was so desperate that he had taken them all.
