In the series' final segment, in an old section of the library, Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Muffy stumble across a board game that predicts their future careers. However, the game gives vague answers and 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. 20 years later, Buster has become a college creative writing professor with Kate as a student; Francine runs a business for tennis shoes; Muffy is running for Mayor of Elwood City; George owns the Sugar Bowl, which he has repurposed as the Sugar Bowl Café; Binky works as a TV weatherman; Bud returns to Elwood City, only to be ticketed by D.W., now in the police force; and Arthur is about to publish his own graphic novel based on his childhood, telling the story of his first pair of glasses.

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

Note 2: Michael Yarmush, the first person to voice Arthur, through seasons 1-5, provides the voice for adult Arthur in the final scene.
