*I decided to add The Baby-Sitters Club as the movie, so I do not own it- Ann M. Martin does.*
On Friday, when Arthur and his friends came to Sugar Bowl for lunch, he decided to meet with Mr. Marino for his schedule ahead of time. He'd be working five hours on school nights and all day on weekends and school vacations- except for Thanksgiving and on Christmas Day-- until about seven on school nights and nine on weekends . On those times, he'd be in for ten in the morning and for four-thirty on school days.
"Here is your schedule starting a week from today," said Mr. Marino.
"Thank you," said Arthur.
"You'll also be getting paid. It'd be twenty dollars per hour, which is $380 per day, so all altogether would be about $2,660 per week," said Mr. Marino.
"Wow," said Francine.
"You'd be rich," said Buster.
Arthur's mouth dropped open and said, "Golly. Thank you."
"You are so lucky," said Muffy.
After lunch, at home, Arthur put his schedule on the fridge. He even told his parents how much money he'd be making.
"You'd be treating us for dinner often," teased his father.
"Sounds good," said Arthur. "I also might want to save it for college and to buy a car of my own once I passed the driver's test next year."
He's only fifteen and plans to go for a driver's test once he turns sixteen.
"That's a good plan," agreed his mother.
"I know," said Arthur happily. "I'm not sure where I'd go for college. I don't know if I want to close to home or far away."
"When it's time, it's up to you, honey," said his mother.
"I do know, I'd like to be an actor like Timmy," added Arthur.
His school was putting up a play called The Baby-Sitters Club in December. He's playing Mary Anne's boyfriend, Logan Bruno. In fact, it would be like a real movie. Arthur says it was like a dream come true.
"Mr. Marino already knows about the rehearsal dates and I'd be heading to work right after the rehearsal ends at four," said Arthur.
"That's good," said his father.
"When the movie date is announced, I'm going to take that day off," said Arthur.
"That's true," said Mrs. Read.

A week later, it was Arthur's first day at his new job. He can't wait until after school to start it. After school, he went over to Sugar Bowl and Mr. Marino gave him a small tour in the kitchen. After that was done, he gave Arthur the apron. Arthur was a hard worker. Whenever the costumers leave, he started to clean their places and the dishes right away.
After work, at home, Arthur was tired, so he went to bed by nine that night after he talked about his first day on the job. He was going to start to get paid next Saturday, so he'd start to get $2,660 then. He was doing rehearsals next week. So, he'd have a very busy week between rehearsals and work. He doesn't mind about it at all.
"When are you free to hang out with us?" asked Buster.
"Maybe when I have a day off," replied Arthur.
"Okay," said Francine. "At least you'll be with us during the rehearsals."
"That's true," agreed Arthur.
Francine is playing Mary Anne and is thrilled about that. Some of the adults are in the movie, too. Some adults are the members' parents and most others are teachers. Muffy's playing Kristy, Fern is playing Dawn, Jenna's playing Stacey, Savannah Lee is Claudia, and two of them are from middle school, Linda Morse is Mallory and Lillian Willis is playing Jessi. Some other kids from grade school are playing some the clients. They're all thrilled to have small parts in the movie.
He was working when his friends were there for lunch. He was cleaning the tables while talking to them.
"I'll be back, I just need to clean the dishes," said Arthur.
"Okay," said Muffy.
That's what he did and was done in three to five minutes.
"Whoa he's a fast worker," said Muffy.
"He sure is," said Buster.
"You bet," said Mr. Marino. "He was like that yesterday, too."
"That's cool," said Francine.
"When he's done, he can join you for a lunch break," said Mr. Marino.
After Arthur was done with the last spot, he did took a lunch break. He gets to have his lunch free since he works there now.
"Cool," said Arthur after Mr. Marino told him that.
"Lucky you," said Brain.
"I know," smiled Arthur.
That night, after work, Arthur went to bed right before ten. The next day, he got up at nine to get ready for work. He left at nine-thirty quietly so he won't wake the others up. He'd be riding his bike to work since it's not too far from his home. At work, he started to get to work right away. There weren't any costumers yet when he got there. So, there was nothing for him to do since he did all the dishes before he left last night.
"Is Sunday usually a busy day?" asked Arthur.
"Sometimes, but not always," replied Mr. Marino.
"Oh," said Arthur.
People started coming in at noon since that's when the lunch hour starts. Later, Arthur started to feel tired for some reason. Luckily, he was able to take a break after he finished the last table for now.
"I just feel tired," said Arthur. "I've been fine and I've been sleeping all night, so I don't get why I'm tired. I know it's not because I've been working until seven or nine."
"That is odd," said Mr. Marino.
After he left work early that afternoon, he told it to his mom and she made an appointment to have him checked in an hour.
