While exploring an old section of the library, Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Muffy stumble across a board game that predicts their future careers. However, the game runs out of battery power before Arthur's future can be predicted. A patron at the library then recommends Arthur keep the book Ms. Turner accidentally gave him about how to draw animals, saying it has some good drawings. 20 years later, Buster has become a college creative writing professor with Kate as a student; Francine runs a business that makes tennis shoes; Muffy is running for Mayor of Elwood City; George owns the Sugar Bowl, which he has redesigned as the Sugar Bowl Café, serving hot beverages in addition to ice cream; Binky is a TV weatherman; Bud returns to Elwood City, only to be ticketed by D.W., now a police officer; and Arthur is about to publish a graphic novel based on his childhood, telling the story of how he got his first pair of glasses.

Note 1: Marc Brown, the writer of the Arthur books, voices the library patron who encourages Arthur to keep the animal drawing book.

Note 2: Michael Yarmush, the first person to voice Arthur, through season five, provides the voice for adult Arthur in the final scene.
