His mother [[Jane Read|Jane]] calls him in for breakfast and tells him it is not until Saturday. As Arthur walks into the dining room, he hears his father [[Daivd Read|David]] laughing while reading the newspaper and says that some man in town said he saw a spaceship. Jane jokes that it must be the same man who saw Elvis at the mall. Arthur doesn't believe in aliens, but his sister [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] states that the ''National Requirer'' newspaper article does. | ||
While Arthur walks to school with his friends: [[Buster Baxter]], the [[Alan Powers|Brain]], [[Francine Frensky]], [[Muffy Crosswire]], and [[Prunella Deegan]], the girls were talking about the spaceship. Arthur wanted to talk about the sleepover he was planning for Saturday. He tells the boys that they can have a sleepover in his tent. Muffy says that no one could catch her out in a tent with spaceships. Buster tells Arthur that his mother [[Bitzi Baxter|Bitzi]] thinks he's too young for a sleepover and cannot come. Arthur persuades to Buster that he must come to his house for the sleepover, and that they are best friends. Francine wonders why they would be called sleepovers and states that no one ever sleeps during sleepovers. | While Arthur walks to school with his friends: [[Buster Baxter]], the [[Alan Powers|Brain]], [[Francine Frensky]], [[Muffy Crosswire]], and [[Prunella Deegan]], the girls were talking about the spaceship.

* While Jane was wearing a white shirt with light teal polka-dots and a plaid pink skirt, her shirt was tucked into the skirt before Arthur leaves for school; but after Arthur comes home from school, her shirt is hanging out. | |||
