Arthur Makes Waves

Synopsis
The community pool is closed for repairs, so Arthur and D.W. accept an invitation to James' pool. Then they discover that his older sister is Molly, an old nemesis of Arthur's.

Plot
When Arthur and D.W find out that the community pool is closed for repairs, they try to find other places to cool off. They try the Tibbles' pool, the Senior Center's Pool, Muffy's pool and even the library since it has air conditioning until a kid coming out of the library tells them the air conditioner is broken. They soon give up all hope, but then they go to The MacDonald's pool. At first, Molly insults Arthur and makes one side of the pool for herself, and one side of the pool for James, D.W., and Arthur. Molly befriends Arthur, but they can't get seen together or they will be mocked by their friends. They almost get busted on many occasions, but when Slink and Brain see them walking off together, it goes over the edge. Arthur and Molly's friends decide to do something about them and go to confront them at the MacDonald's pool, only to find Molly there. The friends think they may have stopped any sort of friendship from forming between Arthur and Molly, but are wrong as Arthur and D.W. hid away from plain sight before the group of friends arrived and Arthur and D.W. eventually head off towards the community pool.
