Plot Outline
The episode starts with Arthur walking down the sidewalk, when  Francine rides past him on her bike and splashes water from a puddle on him. She quickly apologizes. To the viewers, Arthur says that it's hard to be angry against Francine, because she, besides Buster, is his best friend. He remembers the day they met when they were in preschool. His mom introduced her when she first moved in. After getting acquainted, Francine licks her sucker and sticks it to Arthur's head. Despite that, Arthur claims he can always trust her. But before he enters the school, Francine angrily asks if he told everyone she looked like a marshmallow. At first his memory fails him, but Buster reminds that he did when she was wearing a weird sweater. In fury, Francine threatens Arthur to apologize to her or else. {Title Card}
