Prunella grabbed a wad of toilet paper out of Buster's pocket, he chuckled nervously, "Toilet paper?"
"I've been sneezing a lot, I grabbed some just to be prepared," Buster explained as he quickly grabbed it back and sneezed.
Prunella chuckled, "Oh, I thought you pocketed something…"
"No…" Buster replied as he left.
----------------------------------
The next day after school, Buster, and Binky decided to do something with Fern, she had bought the DDR game, and was playing it with Sue Ellen, Buster and Binky sighed, they were so much better at it than them.
"Fern how did you get so good at it?" Buster asked curiously.
"I don't know, I guess I am a natural…" Fern commented.
Sue Ellen looked at her score, "You bested me…" and Fern chuckled.
Buster and Binky went outside and Binky sighed, "I thought she would be fun to do something with…"
Buster ran inside, "Be right back," he ran into Mrs. Walters, "Oh hello."
She smiled at him, "Hi Buster, what's new?"
"Not much, the same old stuff," he jumped around as if he had ants in his pants, "W-where is the washroom?"
Mrs. Walters chuckled, as she led him there, but it was locked, Buster sighed, "Fern!"
"I am using the washroom!"
Mrs. Walters took Buster upstairs, he closed the door and he had done his business, when he had got out Binky was there, "I got to go as well."
Buster had wandered around for a bit, and he went downstairs, as did Binky, but who could blame them both for wandering, they were just kids.
After Sue Ellen, Buster and Binky had left Fern went upstairs, she was shocked it had looked like someone was in her room, "Mom!"
Mrs. Walters ran in, "What is it?"
"Someone was in my room…"
"Everything seems to be where it is," Mrs. Walters looked down, perhaps it may be time to clean your room a little bit…" she paused and looked at the laundry basket of clothes and the slight mess on the floor, "Put those away."
Fern put them away as Mrs. Walters left, she opened the sock and underwear drawer and to her shock all her underwear was gone, "I thought I had five pairs in there…"
She disregarded it, many strange things had happened, but investigating this especially with lots of homework proved to be a waste of time, mainly because she had no time to investigate the disappearance of undergarments.
She had started her math homework, she silently thought about this though, Sue Ellen wouldn't do anything of the sort, but it would probably be one of the boys, starting with Buster or Binky.
But she couldn't suspect them, Buster would love to investigate a case, he loved mysteries as much as Fern if not more. Fern thought that Binky had stolen her underwear, but talking about stolen undergarments would be impossible to talk about with her friends.
When she finished her math homework she had cleaned her room a bit more and went down for dinner not thinking about what just happened, she had continued her homework after dinner and went to bed.
The next day it was raining terribly, Fern decided to talk to Buster about the supposed situation, "Buster, I have a mystery that I possibly need some help solving."
"I have lots of homework still…" Buster explained.
Fern sighed; normally Buster would help, she asked him why, "Why?"
"Because, I kept it all until the last minute and I don't want to get in trouble by my mom."
Fern shouldn't be suspicious of Buster, and she blurted out, "I think Binky stole my underwear…"
Buster laughed hysterically...
He wasn't the best person to tell, but she needed to get her point across.
After school, Francine, Buster and the Brain were standing outside waiting for their parents, Mrs. Powers picked him up; and Mr. Frencky drove by, calling out to Buster, "Your mother dropped off your pajamas at our place; you are to spend the night with us because she is stuck in Crown City…"
Buster and Francine looked at each other and boarded the dump truck. When they got to Westboro residence of Francine Frensky they had ate dinner, "Buster glad you could make it."
"Yea, I know my mom is in Crown City, she didn't know if she could get back here or not due to the rain," Buster explained as he nibbled on the pasta.
"She said she will be back tomorrow," Mrs. Frensky replied as she placed some salad on her plate.
Buster finished dinner and he diligently did his homework in Francine's room, due to the silence because Katharine would be watching TV, as would Francine and her father, he needed some place quiet.
Four hours later he was done and in bed.
The next morning Buster quickly showered and got changed, he had stuffed everything of his in his bag and his mom was waiting in front of the apartment building for him, she had drove him home and Buster put his clothing away and went back to school.
Francine fresh out of bed showered and was getting changed herself, she looked in her drawers for some clothes, the usual dark red shirt and blue jeans she had noticed a few pairs of her underwear was gone.
She thought Buster had done it, but to her Buster knows better than to snoop in other people's things, "Probably got lost in the laundry…"
As the days had passed more and more of the girl's underwear had gone missing, Fern had invited Sue Ellen, Muffy, Prunella, Jenna and Francine over.
Sue Ellen lowered her head, "You want to go play DDR against me again?"
"No, this is important, out of curiosity I am curious to know, have any of you had your underwear mysteriously disappear?"
And all they responded with was a, "Yes."
"I hardly have any pairs left…" Muffy replied, "Someone at the party took them!"
"Probably Binky…" Francine stated.
"Don't jump to conclusions," Fern warned, "I will see if Buster could help me solve this."
After their little meeting they all went their separate ways and Fern decided to go to Buster's, Buster was outside doing some homework, "Buster, I need to talk to you!"
Buster looked at her nervously, he didn't do anything wrong but the way she said it seemed like she was on a warpath.
