Arthur & Friends and Continuing Adventures

#3 - More than just a First (or another) day

Arthur

Arthur didn't know what to do now. He planned to hang out with Binky and Fern, but then he wanted to film a short movie for the Matt Damon when Muffy came in. He did see a talk show last night which he talk about The Postcards from You Contest with grandma Thora. But now Mr. Haney is in a coma from a heart attack. He could go visit him. But there were so many other things that he planned to do.

I could hang out with Binky and Fern some other day. He thought as the class heads to their new classroom. And I could go visit Mr. Haney tomorrow. He is in a coma after all. I'm going to start making my postcard contest movie later today. I hope D.W. won't get involved, but then again I might just have to deal with her if mom forces me to.

Nadine (before she was taken to court) at recess after lunch

Nadine: How are you doing D.W.?

(D.W. was shoveling sand into her bucket that she brought with her, while Nadine stood by)

D.W.: Nothing much. Emily had to go home early for a dentist appointment. Which is sad. She missed a lot of great things that happened.

(D.W. patted the sand into the bucket and flipped it over)

D.W.: But there will be other school days just as great as this one. Too bad you don't go to school Nadine. It's fun.

Nadine: I bet it is. But aren't you sad about Mr. Haney?

D.W.: Huh? Oh yeah, that. It didn't seem much of a big deal. He will get better. It's not like he's going to die. And besides, I don't even know the guy.

Nadine: Remember at the movies with Arthur and Buster when you spilled popcorn on his head?

D.W.: That was him?

Nadine: Yes.

D.W.: No wonder Arthur acted like a worry wart. And besides it was an accident. The guy's huge-munges head and his horns were in the way of the boring space movie.

Nadine: It wasn't boring, D.W.

D.W.: It was boring because I had to watch that bowling ball size of a head in the way of my viewing distance.

Nadine: It was still a good movie.

D.W.: Probably.

Nadine: Anyway, aren't you sad?

D.W.: Sad about what? The principal in the coma? I don't even know what that is. That blue haired lady didn't explain it over the announcements today. She's a terrible teacher, she doesn't teach us stuff very well. And how do you know about the heart attack principal thing anyway?

Nadine: I know whatever you know.

D.W.: Oh yeah, right. Forgot about that. So I guess I don't have to tell you what teacher we got.

Nadine: It was that new teacher Emily mentioned.

D.W.: Yep. Oh and I over heard Arthur last wanting to enter that Matt Damon contest. Do you have any ideas of how I could help?

(Nadine thought for a moment)

Nadine: Maybe you could dress up as a fairy, and perform magic tricks.

D.W.: Hmm. Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

D.W.: Maybe we can have a trick where you say what Pal or Kate is saying.

Nadine: I don't know about that D.W. It's not exactly a magic trick.

Timmy: Hey D.W.

(Timmy said as the Tibbles came up to D.W.)
