Author's note: This is the last chapter, couldn't make it to five chapters, and I am going to take a few weeks off from submitting anything, as I am well just bored of writing stuff…

--------------------------------

Fern had decided to go to Arthur's this was the first place to see who would be the thief of the girls underwear, it was nerve-wracking she needed to know as this prank wasn't funny; it was embarrassing and most certainly immature.

She knocked at the door of the Read house when Arthur answered, he had smiled slightly when he had seen her, she began to talk, "Arthur, I want to know something, do you know why girls underwear is disappearing?"

Arthur was caught off guard by this question, "I err uh…"

Fern sighed, she figured she was too blunt to ask him the question, but Arthur had composed himself, "No."

"Can we do a bit of checking around?" Fern asked as she wasn't really satisfied with the answer.

Fern had searched everywhere while Mr. and Mrs. Read were looking at her strangely, she had checked every floor, every room and every closet, cupboard including the washer and dryer but no luck, nothing came about, not even any clues, she lowered her head in sadness, "I am sorry for wasting your time…" Arthur noticed how sad she was, she was really anxious to solve this mystery but without any clues this had become a cold case.

She had left to see Sue Ellen and Prunella, her voice had soon turned to sorrow, "I am sorry…"

"Wait, you went to both places to see what happened?"

She sniffed, "No… I just went to the one, and had no results, no clues, nothing."

Prunella of course knew, "Who did you go to?"

"Arthur's."

"I certainly hope Buster gives more clues."

Fern took a deep breath and she had gone to Buster's, "Buster, we need to talk, girl's underwear is disappearing and you are a suspect, tell me, and are you responsible?"

Buster was laughing, "No…"

Fern tore the condominium apart from top to bottom and still no clues had come, nothing, after searching the poodle girl of course was upset, she had rejoined Sue Ellen and Prunella, she was almost crying, "I failed you both…"

"Don't say that, something will come up."

"No, nothing will come up, no clues at Buster's or Arthur's, I bet Francine and Muffy have lost more pairs."

Muffy had come up, "I don't have any pairs left except for the one I am wearing… a few of the boys were for swimming, but I don't see why…"

"All mine is gone as well," Francine added, "Binky, Arthur and Buster were listening to my drumming the day before, and after they left it was all gone."

Sue Ellen ran to her house across the street she looked in her drawer and found it was bare, someone had taken her underwear she ran back to join her friends, "Mine is gone too…"

Fern and Prunella assumed theirs was gone as well, Fern shot up a new idea, "Who was over each time while we were doing something with them?" She then answered "Binky and Buster but I don't see if you aren't getting anything from Buster, why would he be a suspect? I am going to Binky's he is a new suspect." Fern stated and she walked over.

Fern took a breather; she needed to solve this, as it was getting out of hand now, she went to see Binky, "Binky we need to talk, I know you have done it so just confess!"

Binky was nervous, "Done what?"

"You know, you stole all the girl's underwear and well give it back!" She yelled.

"I didn't!"

Fern ran inside and she checked everything from top to bottom, and ended up with nothing, no girl's underwear, and no clues nothing, this had really disappointed her.

Fern joined her friends as she was upset, "Nothing! I am never going to solve this! Buster won't help me!"

Sue Ellen patted her friend on the back, she needed it after all the disappointment that she faced, "We will have to see, our collages are done tomorrow and we will need to get them done."

The next day at school Fern was still in disgust that she hadn't solved the mystery, when she entered the classroom to see what everyone had done for their collages she was shocked, utterly shocked and embarrassed, there was a collage there of the girls underwear, it was Busters!

"Mr. Ratburn!" She yelled.

Ratburn came, "Fern what is it?"

She pointed at Buster's collage, "What is this?"

"Buster is studying different types of fabric…"

"No, it is girl's underwear; he had stolen it from Sue Ellen, Francine, Muffy, Prunella and I."

Mr. Ratburn took a closer look and indeed it was girl's underwear, "I understand how embarrassed you feel right now."

Sue Ellen, Francine, Muffy and Prunella came after hearing the yell they were equally shocked seeing their underwear put on display.

Mr. Ratburn sighed, "Buster will be having some explaining to do, plus a detention, and a phone call home."

Buster entered as everyone looked at his collage, "Hey! I can't believe you all like it!"

Fern tackled Buster, "I HATE YOU! YOU EMBARASSED ALL OF US FOR THE LAST TIME!" she was strangling him.

However Mr. Ratburn separated them both and Fern ran out of the room crying as the other girls calmed her down, "Buster, you are going to apologize to these girls for what you did, and you will have to go for a detention, and I am going to give your mother a phone call about what you did."

After school, Buster was home, his mother of course wasn't too impressed, "Buster, you are going to be grounded for a month for what you did!"

Buster sighed sadly as he went to his room to get changed but couldn't find any pairs of his underwear, he ran downstairs, "Where is my underwear?"

"What underwear?" Mrs. Baxter asked.

The End.
