The dust bunnies allowed themselves to be hauled out of the pool but their fun was not yet over, either. Runner and his crew were waiting for them. They collected Virgil and his pals and headed for the newest attraction on the Strip.

The Alien Storm roller coaster was officially open for business. Tickets for the first couple of months had been sold out for ages. But the bride and groom knew some important people in town.
