Slide 2 : The horrible ceremony was finally finished. So, Bill and Betty went to the airport to begin their honeymoon. Betty wasn’t very excited about it, but figured that she could at least enjoy a nice vacation. Bill would be locked up in the hotel room. Betty planned to enjoy time on the beach getting sunburned.
Their baggage was checked in. Then they waited in the lobby for their flight. However, their flight was delayed due to an engine malfunction. 4 After about 8 hours of sitting around, they were informed that their flight had been cancelled until further notice.
So, they went to get their baggage, but Betty’s suitcase couldn’t be found. 1 It had been put on another plane and had been sent on ahead of her to Hawaii. Betty went berserk and everybody in the airport was screamed at.
Bill tried to quiet her down. So, Bill was beat over the head with her purse. The bump must have damaged her cell phone because the battery exploded inside her purse. 2 Betty’s purse was burned to a crisp along with all her documents, cash and credit cards.
She was shocked by the event and couldn’t say a word. So, she knelt down and began to sob softly. The bump on Bill’s head had caused something to snap because he began talking normally. He knelt down beside her and looked her straight in the eye. She was told that he loved her deeply.
Poor Betty was exhausted from so much stress, and fell into his arms weeping. 3 They decided to forget their trip to Hawaii. A farm was bought just outside Beaver City with the money they received from Betty’s inheritance. And of course they all lived happily ever after.
