The Fateful Convention

The propane convention finally came. Hank wore his best looking jeans, and best Strickland uniform. "Peggy, wish me well today. For I am going to give the best dang convention of my life." Hank stated. "You will do just fine." Peggy added as she kissed Hank on the cheek.

"Go get em Dad!" Bobby ranted encouragingly. Hank laughed and said, "You bet I'll get em." "We'll be there to see you." Peggy added. Hank smiled after she said that.

Then Bill and Boomhauer came to wish Hank well, and Hank reminded them to surprise Dale after the convention. They agreed. Then Hank drove off to work. Dale somehow knew that Hank and his other friends would surprise him, so he went to Octavio's house, and talked to him.

"Gribble, what is up?" Octavio asked. "Octavio, you are now my Emperor." Dale stated as he bowed to him. "What did I do to you?" Octavio asked sarcastically. "You are the only one who can help me save Nancy." Dale replied. "Okay Dale." Octavio complied.

"Dale, I've been hearing about the propane convention today, and that it was big." Octavio added. "I know." Dale added. "There is something we must do." Dale added on. "Okay, but it better not involve anything bad." Octavio replied. "I must find the surprise Hank has been hiding from me." Dale stated. "That should be interesting." Octavio replied.

"Okay, what must I do, Emperor Octavio?" Dale asked. "You must go to Strickland Propane, and find your surprise." Octavio replied. "Thank you Master." Dale complied.

"This is weird." Octavio thought to himself as he and Dale got in his exterminator van. Then when they arrived, Octavio said that he would watch the convention, while Dale went and tried to get his surprise.

Meanwhile, Bobby dressed up in a C-3PO costume, and Joseph wore his normal clothes. "Joseph, I want you to have my toy Solo blaster, from Star Wars." Bobby said. "Thanks Bobby." Joseph complied. Joeseph really liked the gift, since he liked Han Solo.

"I'll be right back." Joseph added as he ran inside to change his clothes. "Mom do you have any clothes that are similar to Harrison Ford, when he was Han Solo." Joseph asked.

"I'll go find them son." Nancy replied as she ran to get the clothes, despite the fact that her baby was inside her stomach.

She eventually found a Dale's old brown slacks, a black hunting vest, and a white formal shirt. "Here they are sug." Nancy stated. "Mom, why is your stomach so big?" Joseph asked. "Joseph, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I was caught up with work." "Joseph, you're going to have a baby brother or sister." she stated. "Whoa. Cool." Joseph replied. "Well, thanks for the clothes and I hope my little bro or sis comes out well." he added. "Thanks, son." she added as she kissed his cheek.

Then Joseph joined Bobby, and Bobby said, "You look cool." "Thanks, I wanted to dress up like Han Solo, since you dressed as C-3PO." Joseph stated. "That's great, you could protect me out of fun." Bobby added. "Yeah, definitely." Joseph stated happily.

Before they left, Cotton drove and parked at the driveway of the Hill house. "Hello Hank's wife." Cotton said. "Hello Cotton." Peggy replied. Everyone else said hi. "Nice costumes, Bobby and Joseph. You two will make perfect replicants of those characters." Cotton added. "Thanks." Bobby and Joseph stated.

"Oh, and since the Star Wars people will be here, I want to meet the guy who's been playing Obi-Wan Kenobi, because Obi-Wan Kenobi was a great man, and that he's my favorite character of all time." Cotton stated happily.

"I already got tickets for me, Didi, and Good Hank, so we can see that movie with you guys." Cotton added. "How bout I take you guys to Hank's convention of his?" Cotton asked. "You bet." Peggy replied. "Now let's go." Cotton stated in finality.

While that happened, Dale got his gas gun, and golf club equipped, despite the fact that he wore the clothes that he would normally wear, when he was not working. Before he got in, he secretly put a video camera to show to Cotton, that he would kick his ass for trying to make Nancy turn against him.

Then Dale went inside the office, and found that the workers were dead tired, because of all the phone calls that they answered, and they were in panic. "Dale, Dale, what should we do?" Joe Jack asked. "Nothing." Dale replied angrily as he got his gun out and shot gas at all the workers of Strickland propane.

Then he got out his golf club, and beat up all the workers after the gas cleared. The workers choked and coughed, when Dale went toward them to beat them up.

Hank saw Cotton and the others arrive. "Dad, you're here." Hank said happily. "I came so I can meet Obi-Wan Kenobi." Cotton added. "And I came to see you sell." Cotton added happily. "Wow. Thanks Dad." Hank interposed. "No, thank you, Hank. I wanted to come, so I could give you my thanks for helpin me through the tough times." Cotton added. Then they shook hands, and hugged. "Now let's go have fun, boy!" Cotton ranted.

On the backyard of the Strickland Propane building, Hank, Cotton and the others met the stars of all the Star Wars trilogy. They really enjoyed meeting them. Buck told Hank and the others that the Darth Vader suit, the real Darth Vader suit, including the helmet, was there on the stage behind the curtains.

Everyone went and saw the convention and they liked it. Many people bought new tanks, but some bought new grills. Hank and Buck sold all the propane that they could, because they thought the workers were answering calls from buyers.

While they had fun, Dale had literally beat the crap out of all the workers. He watched the video tape, that recorded him, while he did all that he did. But then Octavio ran in, and immediately wanted to speak to Dale.

Octavio asked in shock, "Dios Mio, Gribble! "What have you done!" "Emperor Octavio, I have destroyed all the Jedi." Dale replied sarcastically while he bowed to Octavio. "Do you know that the cops are out there?" Octavio stated. "No, but I am going to kick their ass." Dale replied. "You are crazy man, Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Octavio stated as he escaped.

Then Dale wrote a letter to the cops as he too was about to escape, but before he left, he ran to the stage, but yet he was in the area where Darth Vader's suit was stored. "So, this is Hank's suprise for me." he stated as he stared at the suit. "Cool." he added. Then he put on the suit and helmet, and snuck out of there, and he immediately ran to his van, and drove home.

Meanwhile, all the other people met the stars, and before they left, Buck wanted to show the Darth Vader suit to everyone else before they left, and it included Hank and the others.

But all of a sudden, Bobby and Joseph pointed out that the suit was not there, after Buck opened the curtain. "Oh my God!" Buck ranted. The movie stars were shocked that it was stolen. "It was supposed to be a prize to give away to anyone who was at the convention." G. Lucas stated. "Well, whoever has it, can have it." he stated heavily. Then everyone left.

After Hank heard this, he was shocked. "What kind of jackass would do such a thing?" he asked. But then as he entered the office, he noticed that all the workers were unconscious. "Oh my God." he stated. Peggy, Bobby, Boomhauer, Bill, Joseph, Nancy, Didi, and Cotton's son went into Cotton's car.

Cotton went in with Hank to see what happened. "Jesus Christ. It looks as if the Tojos slaughtered people here." Cotton stated in surprise. Then while Hank looked around the place to see if everything was okay, he found a tape with a letter.

To: whoever it concerns

I have destroyed all of you Jedi. Rot in hell.

Sincerely,

Darth Vader

Hank was so angry, that he said, "What a stubborn jackass." Buck, Dad, I found who made all the workers unconscious. "Good job Hank." Buck stated, and Cotton complied. Then Buck got the tape Hank found, and played it in his office.

"What the?" Hank asked as he saw one of the most shocking events ever in his life. "Dale, Dale did this." Hank added. "Damn, how could he beat guys up with a golf stick." Cotton stated. "It's a golf club, Dad." Hank interrupted. "Oh my Lord." Hank stated in shock.

"Dale had one of those crazy dreams." he said. "I've gotta to find him, and I've gotta to help him." he added. "No, let me find him for you." Cotton pleaded. "Okay Dad, but just be careful." Hank added. "I will." Cotton stated. Then Cotton went off to find Dale.
