'''Main Story'''< | '''Main Story'''<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops:.5in">Prunella and [[Rubella Deegan|Rubella]] are watching an episode of Silver Hills: a girl named Tally complains about her ordinary outfit for a dance, while another girl named Tiffy wearing Flashpants. Prunella gets excited about them, and Rubella realizes that Prunella has been hinting about getting them for her birthday. Tiffy encourages Tally to go to the dance, saying that a boy named Jake will not care about what Tally is wearing, but Prunella reacts saying that he will care, and urges Tally not to go. Rubella decides to go to the kitchen for a snack, where she overhears her [[Mrs. Deegan|mother]] talking on the phone. Her mother talks about “silver”, one of Prunella’s hints, happy that Prunella will be surprised about what the postman will bring that week. Rubella hovers her hands over the house mailbox, predicting that something is coming for Prunella, having to do with “the day you were born” and from “someone older”. Rubella then gives up, knowing that Prunella is not focusing, guessing that she won the sweepstakes or that she is getting something from | ||
[[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]]. Later, Prunella figures out that something is coming for her as a late birthday present from her grandparents. Rubella tells Prunella that the gift is “silver”, which is what she overheard their mother talking about. Prunella gets excited, guessing that the gift will be Flashpants! | |||

[[Jane Read|Arthur’s mom]] and [[David Read|dad]] leave for a trip, and [[Grandma Thora]] is staying with Arthur and [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] while they are gone. She happily lets Arthur go to an ice skating party tomorrow with [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] and their friends, and also lets D.W. play outside in the snow. When Arthur, Grandma and D.W. see that Arthur has grown out of his winter coat, Grandma finds a big, soft coat from her attic: a coat based off the comic book superhero [[Mr. Puffy]]. D.W. calls Arthur “a big, green marshmallow”, eager to throw snowballs at him, while Arthur feels embarrassed in it. At the mall, Prunella and Muffy see the Flashpants on display in the store window. Prunella mentions that she will get them for a late birthday present from her grandparents, and that she doesn’t think anybody at the ice skating party tomorrow should be seen without Flashpants. Muffy suddenly goes off to buy something. | |||

Prunella chooses to stay in her room all winter. She stocks up on peanut butter and soup from the kitchen, and goes to the supermarket in a wig and sunglasses for crackers. Arthur finds Prunella when she knocks into a pyramid display of cans. An employee calls for a clean-up where Arthur is, calling him the “puffy, green boy”.

She stocks up on peanut butter and soup from the kitchen, and goes to the supermarket in a wig and sunglasses for crackers. Arthur finds Prunella when she knocks into a pyramid display of cans. An employee calls for a clean-up where Arthur is, calling him the “puffy, green boy”. Prunella recognizes Arthur is wearing a Mr. Puffy coat. To Arthur’s surprise, she claims that she loved the comics and TV show of the Terrific Three. Arthur tells Prunella that he was planning to stay home for the weekend, but finds that people will not think his coat is weird. Prunella takes some of the crackers he wanted to buy, and he puts back the rest. At the checkout, Prunella then leaves all the crackers she wanted to buy with the cashier, and happily decides to go with Arthur to Muffy’s ice skating party. | ||
<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops:.5in">At the ice skating rink, Prunella sees Muffy wearing her Flashpants, and is nervous about skating without her own pair. Arthur then tells her that she can’t turn back now, and that everybody else is wearing whatever they want: for example, Binky is wearing a polka dot shirt, checkered pants and a fur trapper hat; and Buster is wearing a helmet, knocking his head into a branch. Francine tells Arthur and Prunella to join in on the fun, and they both finally start skating. Francine tells Prunella that Muffy doesn’t want to ruin her pants while skating. Muffy and Prunella meet up, and Muffy is surprised to see Prunella without Flashpants. Before Prunella could confess that she never got any, Muffy rides away in her limo to change into old clothes to skate in. Arthur claims that he told Prunella first about not worrying about what you wear, but Prunella quickly says that she told him first. To Arthur’s annoyance, D.W. and the [[Tibble Twins|Tibble twins]] start throwing snowballs at him. | |||
