::contrary to what Binny thinks, Pepper is not on the raft. Pepper is clinging to the underneath side on accounta (c. 3009 Binny) him was shoved overboard by a one Gonzo. Fortunately, Zoe spot Pepper thrashing around in the cold, tempid waters and she paddle her little inner tube out to where Pepper is gasping for air and she pick him up and haul in back into shore.::
Tank Q Zoe. I taut I was drowning for sure. No buddy care about me. sniff, sniff, sniff.... ::says Pepper pitifully::
Just then, someone shouts through a loud speaker, that every must come to the hamlet dining hall as plans are being made to have beeg celebration honoring those who are members of this crazy town.
Every gets up and scrambles toward the hamlet ballroom and then to the dining hall where they are greeted with a big feast. No one knows who has provided all the food or decorations or cake the size large enough to hide a pretty, lovely gurlkit inside. (wink, wink, wink). But it is stunning and the abundance of food dazzles everyone.
Just then Miss BOOmbOom jump out of said cake and screems:
SURPRISE, EVERY!!
And every cheers and whistles and yells with glee and happiness to know that Miss BOomBoOm haff made it to these here boards also and she is throwing the whole hamlet (which consists of only a few but jolly citizens) a Welcome-To-These-Parts Pardee. It is a grand ball......::::
