The story
One sunny day Bob decides to break up with his girlfriend Arlene in favor of Princess Yakamoshi, who is staying with Arlene for the summer. That night Bob takes the princess to a luau, where he is pushed into the pool by Arlene. The disembodied head of an alien crashes the party and is largely ignored until he challenges Bob to a surfing contest.
