It had been about an hour since the incident over dinner and Angelica and Timmy has since gone back to their room. Peter Albany however, couldn't sleep so he decided to go for a stroll out in his garden. While out there, he came across Drew Pickles.
"Drew?" asked Peter.
"Woah, you scared me there, Peter" went Drew.
"Sorry about that" said Peter "is everything alright?"
"Couldn't sleep" replied Drew, "just thinking about Angelica and… Wow, I did not expect that at all."
"I don't think anyone was expecting that" said Peter.
"I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at her by any extent, though, I do wish she would've been more carful you know" said Drew before sighing. "I just… I just don't really know what I'm supposed to do right now."
Drew looked at Peter. "Hey, Peter" he asked, "do you think that this is, well, my fault?"
"What do you mean" asked the King.
"Well, I worry that I haven't been there enough for Angelica" said Drew.
"That's not true" assured Peter, "you've always been a good father."
"I know, but sometimes I worry that I'm not good enough" said Drew.
"Look" said Peter, "you try your best ad sometimes that's all that matters. Angelica has always loved you very much. Right now the best thing that you can do is to be supportive for her and even Timmy for that matter. She may be an adult now but she's still very young and needs others to be there for her."
"Thanks, Peter" said Drew.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the castle, Lou Pickles was arguing with his longtime rival, Conan McNulty.
"Just, what I need!" shouted Lou, "my granddaughter getting impregnated by a McNulty!"
"You're not blaming my grandson are you?!" shouted back Conan.
"Why wouldn't I!" snapped Lou, "Those boys of yours are a bunch of perverts always causing trouble!"
"Perverts?!" barked Conan.
"Yeah, Perverts, with a capital 'P'!" barked back Lou.
"How dare you blame my grandson for this!" shouted Conan, "if anyone's to blame it's that slutty blonde granddaughter of yours!"
"What did you just call Angelica?!" screamed Lou.
"You heard me!" shouted Conan, "she's nothing but a spoiled rich brat all dressed up in her slutty clothes! If anything, she was asking for..!"
"Alright enough of this!" screamed Lou, "lets settle this like men!" He raised his fists; "put 'em up!"
"You know I was always a better boxer then you!" shouted Conan.
"No, you were always a cheater!" barked Lou.
"Was not!" barked back Conan.
"Was to!" went Lou.
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"WAS NOT!"
"WAS TO!"
"What the heck is going on out here?!" shouted a woman's voice.
Both Lou and Conan turned to see Colleen McNulty and Stu Pickles.
"Pop, what are you doing?!" shouted Stu.
"I'll have you know that I was just about to defend the Pickles family name" protested Lou. "This idiot here called your niece a slut."
"What did you call Angelica?!" Collee asked Conan.
"But, But?!" protested Conan.
"I'll have you know that Angelica is dating your grandson and you'd better respect that!" snapped Colleen as Conan gulped.
Lou chuckled.
"Don't think that you're getting out of this, Pop" said Stu, sternly, "we heard the whole fight and you're just as much to blame for it as Conan."
"Oh, for Pete's sake!" sapped Lou.
"Well, I believe it's well past everyone's bedtime" said Colleen, glaring at her father in law.
"Indeed" said Stu, "come on, Pop."
"You got lucky this time, McNulty" said Lou.
"No, you..!" shouted Conan only to be silenced by his daughter in law.
"Enough!" snapped Colleen.
"Oh, come on!" snapped Conan before swearing in Gaelic. He then reluctantly followed Colleen back to his room.
"Those McNulty's are nothing but trouble" mumbled Lou.
"Pop, enough, I'm tired and Didi's waiting for me" protested Stu.
"How, am I supposed to sleep tonight knowing that my granddaughter is pregnant with a McNulty kid" asked Lou.
"Pop, seriously, enough" protested Stu.
"But why couldn't she date someone else?!" went Lou.
"Because it's none of our business" said Stu. "And besides, as Colleen stated, they're dating now. Can't you at least be a little respectful?"
Lou just rolled his eyes as he and Stu approached his room where Lulu Pickles was waiting outside.
"Lou, where have you been?" asked Lulu. "Please tell me you weren't arguing with Conan again."
Lou just blushed. "I was only defending the Pickles family name" he protested to which Lulu just rolled her eyes. The two then went into their room.
Soon Stu was back in his room along with Tommy, Dil, and Didi Pickles.
"Hey Stu" said Didi, "the boys are already asleep."
"Hey, Deed, sorry I'm late" said Stu over a yawn. "Pop and Conan have been arguing again."
"Over Angelica and Timmy again" asked Didi.
"Yep" replied Stu with a sigh as he changed into his pajamas.
"You'd think those two would have gotten used to their grandchildren dating by now" said Didi shaking her head. "Still, I felt really bad for Angelica tonight."
"I know" said Stu, "teen pregnancy is never fun."
"I just hope she and Timmy are able to make it through the whole ordeal" said Didi. "I just worry because they're both so young still. I mean, you and I were both in our mid-twenties and married when we had Tommy."
"I just hope she does okay" said Stu getting into bed with Didi.
Meanwhile, at the Richmond Air Port, Charlotte Collins, was being escorted onto the next plane inbound for Yucaipa, California. She had been waiting for over an hour with her escorts breathing down her neck and was relieved when she could finally leave. Still, she was very upset that she didn't sway Peter with her "charms."
Charlotte then noticed that she was being escorted to the Economy Class part of the cabin.
"Wait!" shouted Charlotte, "I wanted to buy a First Class ticket!"
"Sorry" said one of the escorts, "but First Class is full."
"This is outrageous!" shouted Charlotte, "I'm gonna sue!"
"Go ahead" said the other escort, "the courts will be on our side."
Charlotte started to cry. "L-look!" she sobbed, "I'm s-sorry! Please give me another chance! I don't want to leave!"
"I'm sorry" said one of the escorts, "but our King has ordered us to extradite you from the Confederacy."
"But..!" went Charlotte before the escort cut her off.
"The plane is almost ready to leave so please take a seat."
Charlotte reluctantly sat in the char that was the nearest to her.
"Have a nice flight" said one of the escorts before he and his partner walked out of the plane. Several minutes later the plane had taken off.
Charlotte continued to sob in embarrassment as she watched the various lights of Confederate towns below from out her window.
'How dare Peter not be interested in me!' thought Charlotte. She clenched her fists. 'And how dare that Four Eyed Bastard, Drew stick his nose in my business!' Her face grew red. 'And how dare my own daughter get impregnated by her Ginger Boyfriend! And how dare..! How dare..!'
Charlotte screamed and pounded her legs with her fists before sobbing yet again. As much as she tried to blame everything that happened to her that night on others, she knew all too well that it was her own fault. She should not have hit on Peter like that, especially after he showed her that he wasn't interested. She should not have kept interrupting people over dinner. And finally, she should not have done what she did to her daughter Angelica.
'Angelica' thought Charlotte, 'I've been away from her for so long all because I no longer wanted to be her mother! And now, when I finally had the chance to renew our relationship…'
Charlotte paused and looked out the window again. The plane was now passing over the Confederacy's beaches.
'My, god' thought Charlotte. It then struck her that she had probably ruined her and her daughter's relationship for good!
"What have I done?" mumbled Charlotte, "what have I done?!"
Charlotte pulled out her cellphone and dialed Angelica's number.
Meanwhile, back at Peter's Castle, Angelica Pickles was lying in her bed with Timmy McNulty (whom was already asleep) when her cellphone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was her mother. She immediately pressed "ignore" before blocking Charlotte's number and throwing her phone to the other side of the room. She then rolled back into her bed and started to cry softly.
Back on the plane, Charlotte saw that Angelica had ignored her call. When she tried to call again her phone informed her that she had been blocked.
Charlotte just stared at her smartphone as a massive surge of guilt fell over her.
