Arthur thinks he's too old to need a babysitter, but changes his mind when the sitter turns out to be a 16-year-old who loves ice cream and video games. | |||
==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
Arthur's dad has a catering job and they need a babysitter. Arthur doesn't want the babysitter to be Mrs. Grouse, because she makes Arthur and D.W. dance the jitterbug. D.W. says "The jitterbug is good for your arthur-itis, Arthur." Arthur angrily says he doesn't have arthritis and Jane Read states that the babysitter is Sally McGill. Arthur imagines that Sally will be a mean babysitter that makes them clean the whole house. When Sally arrives, she is a bear with orange hair and a purple jacket. She is 16, twice Arthur's age and four times D.W.'s age. Sally is about to ask Arthur which ice cream he likes better when he gets annoyed and says "I know the drill." D.W. talks and plays with Sally while Arthur does his homework. When he comes downstairs, he sees Sally playing his Dark Bunny Curse of the Moomies Video Game. D.W. gives Arthur the console and Arthur and Sally make it up to Level 12, where they try to defeat the Mommy of all Moomies, when Arthur's parents arrive. Arthur looks at Sally dreamily and develops a crush on Sally. Later, Arthur tries to persuade the parents to leave home so he and D.W. can have Sally watch them. After they do leave, for another catering job, Mrs. Grouse comes instead. On the third round in which the parents leave, they state that Sally and her friend are coming. When it's Arthur's turn to choose the activity, he chooses the video game and they play until the doorbell rings. Sally introduces her boyfriend, Cory, to Arthur. Arthur is frustrated that Sally has a boyfriend and doesn't like him back. Angry, he goes to draw a comic about Sally and Cory getting eaten by a flying sheep zombie. He rips up the comic he made about him and Sally being together. Later, he tells Buster, who vows not to tell anyone. Buster says "She crushes you and walks all over you. Stay away from her." Unfortunately, Buster is actually talking about the Mommy of all Moomies, not Sally. So when Arthur comes for a sleepover with Buster, Buster's babysitter is Sally. Sally explains that she likes to play video games with him, but not with Cory, because Cory is bad at video games. The three of them play until it's time for their bed. Then, Buster states his advice again, and Arthur realizes that the advice was about the video game. Buster questions him, and then they go to bed. | |||
