Shay stormed off with a huff, and went to the back yard. She climbed into Preston's Spanish Galleon that was floating in the pool, and she slammed the door.
Preston was worried. He had messed up bigtime. How was he gonna talk his way out of this?
Meanwhile, across town, Buck Wiggles was wiggling his was out (do you get it?) of the mass of people that had tackled him. The pile had been around for several hours at this point, and people were getting very sleepy. Buck had to be very careful to not wake everyone, or they'd just get right back on top of him. He wiggled and wiggled, and finally, after about 30 minutes of wiggling, his head poked out from the mountain of bodies. He gasped for air, and it felt cool and refreshing in his lungs. This is how it felt to be a free man.
He wiggled the rest of his body out of the pile, and found that he had lost a shoe somewhere in the pile. It was one of his two favorite shoes, but he couldn't risk going back into the pile to get it. Buck started walking away, but he froze. A horrible thought occurred to him. What if they used that shoe to Cinderella him, and figure out who he was? Could he afford NOT to go back into the pile?
Both options were risky, but Buck made his decision. He took off his other shoe so he wouldn't lose it when he went back in. He hid it in the bushes, took a deep breath, and started wiggling back in to find his shoe.
Preston was now having a bubble bath and thinking. What could he do about his conflict with Shay? His money couldn't get him out of this, and as a kid, he didn't have much experience with girls or relationship issues. Preston made himself a beard out of bubbles to make himself feel wiser. Almost instantly, an idea came to him! He finished his bath, got dressed, and went downstairs and put a romantic comedy on the tv. There was no way that a woman would be able to resist watching a romantic comedy, right? Shay would be on the couch with him in no time!
Preston watched and watched, and he felt some feelings, but even as the movie came to a close, the couch remained Shay-less. He looked out the window, at the boat in the pool. Through the boat's window, or porthole, he could see her watching a movie on a couch in the boat's Captain's Quarters.
His plan had clearly failed, but the movie did give him some ideas. Preston laced up his running shoes and made a mad dash for the airport. Preston had done a lot of running in the past few days, but none of that compared to this. He was running and dashing as hard as he could. He got to the airport, and there was Shay, overwhelmed by his romantic gesture! They hugged and leaned in for a kiss, but suddenly, they both found themselves kissing a man on the cheek! It was Quigley!
"Nyaa ha ha haaaa!" chortled Quigley. "I renounced my sins again, right as you hit me with that dragon! I am born again… again!"
Quigley flourished his cape, and shoved the two lovebirds apart very hard, yelling, "Don't kiss! It's gross! Don't you see the age gap between you? She could be your mother!"
Shay was shoved into a pile of suitcases, and Preston was flung into a man surrounded by other men. The man with whom he collided was the ruler of the Soviet Union!
U-S-S-ARE-YOU-KIDDING-ME?
The Czar pulled himself to his feet, and looked around angrily. His eyes settled on Quigley, whose arms were still outstretched, holding his shoving pose. Quigley looked down his arm, toward the Czar, and noticed how colorful his shoulder was. He had gotten dressed in the dark, earlier, and had tied an American flag around him instead of his usual black cape! Oops!
The man pointed at Quigley and shouted, "America!? I declare ULTRA WAR!"
Ominous music started to play, and a voice came over the intercom stating that all flights had been cancelled. Out the window, tanks started rolling over the horizon straight toward them. Clouds started to form and darken, only they weren't clouds, they were blimps! War Blimps!
"You don't want to do this!" said Preston. "That man is terrible, but he doesn't represent all of America!"
"But he does!" said the Czar, who pulled out a gun and started shooting into the air to show that he was serious. "This is the war to end all wars!"
Quigley ran off in all the chaos, and they lost track of him. Preston, forgetting just how rich he was, jumped at the Czar, to try to wrestle the gun away. Preston, being a child, was massively outclassed by the Czar of the Soviet Union. The Czar started shaking Preston and slamming him against the wall. Preston found it to be very unpleasant.
Meanwhile, Shay was facing the other way, looking around the airport. There! She found what she was looking for!
"Leave him alone, you brute!" screamed Shay, and she threw a rock. It struck the Czar right in the noggin, killing him.
His bodyguards ran away, and all of the tanks and blimps turned around and retreated to the U.S.S.R.
Preston and Shay looked at each other in amazement.
Preston walked up to Shay and began, "He said that it was the war…"
"To end all wars!" Shay finished, her eyes twinkling in wonder.
"Did we really just bring about world peace?" asked Quigley, poking his head around the corner. "No more wars, ever?"
