''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3728378/1/First_Impressions_of_Earth First Impressions of Earth]]'' was an eight-chapter, 56,923-word ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus'' Fanfic by Creator/{{the ultimateSora}}. When Arnold's eighteen, he gets his girlfriend Wanda pregnant. They marry, and their daughter Jackie is born just before they start college. Unfortunately, Wanda's love of sex and partying means that she's a poor partner and a lousy mother, and Arnold's first girlfriend Phoebe ends up helping to raise Jackie. Before Arnold and Wanda's second wedding anniversary, they divorce (relatively amicably), largely because of Wanda's infidelity and sporadic violence towards her husband. [[UpToEleven And that's just the prologue]]. Arnold marries Phoebe, and thinks that this marriage will be easier. Twenty years of joy, angst, sex and mental breakdowns ensue.

* KarmaHoudini: Arnold, although it may be fate making up for his lousy first marriage. It's his spoiling of Jackie and inability to discipline her that leads to Phoebe trying to leave him while pregnant (crashing her car and having a miscarriage). Then, while she's recovering in the hospital, [[spoiler:he sleeps with her best friend, Dorothy Ann]]. Although he immediately regrets doing this, [[spoiler:the truth comes out thanks to D.A., causing Phoebe to have a mental breakdown]]. Phoebe eventually [[spoiler: leaves him for four years, but they are reconciled]]. At the end, she wakes Arnold and asks him if he was having an erotic dream. He says he was dreaming about having wild sex with her, but she [[spoiler: calls him out on this and he admits it was about D.A. He insists that he loves Phoebe but has unresolved feelings for D.A. because [[TheOneThatGotAway he chose to give up on her]] and stay with Phoebe]]. Her response is to sleep with him, asking him to call her [[spoiler: Dorothy Ann]] during it.
