[Fireworks go off in the evening sky. The red carpet is rolled out in front of the palace and festivities are set up. Crowds of people are gathered by the red carpet as celebrities walk down it]

Announcer: Well, the abs are fab and it's gluteus to the maximus here at tonight's Las Vegas Ball Blowout! The coaches are lined up as the cream of the crop pours out of them like Miss Muffet's curds and whey!

[Joan Rivers talks to the camera with loudspeaker in hand]

Joan: Everyone who's anyone has turned out to honor Princess Pomni and Prince Garfield and, oh my, the outfits look gorgeous! Look! Hansel and Gretel!

[Hansel and Gretel skip down the carpet hand in hand, tossing bread crumbs along their path]

Joan: What the heck are the crumbs for? And right behind them, Tom Thumb and Thumbelina! Oh, aren't they adorable!

[The tiny Tom Thumb and Thumbelina are mistakenly swept up by a man sweeping the crumbs]

Joan: Here comes Sleeping Beauty!

[The carriage door is opened and Sleeping Beauty falls onto the carpet, still sleeping]

Joan: Oh, tired old thing...who's this? Who's this?! Who is this?

[Louisa's pink carriage descends]

Joan: Oh. It's the one, it's the only...it's the Fairy Godmother!

[Louisa hovers her way across the red carpet]

Louisa: Hello, Las Vegas! Can I get a "whoop-whoop"?

[The crowd whoops]

Louisa: May all your endings be happy and...well, you know the rest!

[Fish, Marmaduke, Rocko, Heffer, Filbert, Squidward, Jason, Dan, Chrisi, Norbert, Daggett, Banjo, Kazooie, and CatDog are using the Magic Mirror as a TV. They are watching footage of the event as it cuts to a commercial break]

Magic Mirror: We'll be right back with the Las Vegas Ball after these messages.

Daggett: I hate these ball shows! They bore me to tears. Flip over to Wheel Of Fortune.

Marmaduke: I'm not flipping anywhere, beaver, until I see Garfield and Pomni.

Norbert: Yeah, Dag.

Fish: And you don't have to complain about it.

Daggett: Whizzes on you guys! Hey, Dan, pass me a Dorito chip.

[Dan then use a Dorito chip, before threw it to Daggett]

Magic Mirror: Tonight on "K.N.I.G.H.T.S."...

Daggett: Ah! Now here's a good show!

[Footage plays of Garfield, SpongeBob, and N being chased by several patrols of knights]

Knight: We got a white bronco heading east into the forest. Requesting backup.

Narrator: It's time for the men in steel to teach these madcap mammals their "devil may mare" attitudes just won't fly!

[The chase ends in the streets of Las Vegas. Two knights seize Garfield and three more point their crossbows at him]

Garfield: Alright, alright! Let me go!

[Three knights are restraining SpongeBob]

SpongeBob: Let me go!! Why are you grabbing me?! OW!! Police brutality!!! POLICE BRUTALITY!!!!!

Knight: Come on!

Garfield: I have to talk to Princess Pomni!

Knight: We warned you!

[A knight runs up to Garfield with pepper shaker and sprays it into his eyes]

Garfield: Ow! Ow!

Narrator: Will they get away with it? Or did someone let the murder drone out of the bag?

N: You capitalist pig dogs!

[N tackles the knight who grabs him. Two knights restrain]

[The knights proceed to throw Garfield, SpongeBob, and N into the back of a metal wagon]

Garfield: Hold on! Alright! Find Princess Pomni!

SpongeBob: I'm SpongeBob!

[The knights shut the doors of the van. Garfield yells through the bars of the door]

Garfield: Tell her, Garfield--I'm her husband, Garfield! Ow!

[The show freezes frame on Garfield's face as a knight sprays him with a pepper shaker again]

Narrator: K.N.I.G.H.T.S.!

Daggett: Quick! Rewind it!

[The Magic Mirror rewinds the footage]

Garfield: Garfield--I'm her husband, Garfield! Ow!

[The playback stops. Everyone on the couch sits with their mouths wide open]

Fish: Oh. My. Cod.

[Barty is pouring tea into two cups on a tray. He reluctantly pours the contents of the Love Potion into one of the cups. Out from the cup comes a magical dust in the shape of heart, which then dissipates. He pushes open a door, carrying the tray of tea, and sees Pomni staring out of a window]

Barty: Darling? Ah. I thought I might find you here. How about a nice hot cup of tea before the ball?

Pomni: (sighs) I'm not going.

Barty: But, but, but the...the whole kingdom's turned out to celebrate your marriage.

Pomni: There's just one problem. That's not my husband. I mean, look at him.

[Pomni gestures out the window at Kurt Bozwell on the red carpet, who is playing up to the crowd]

Barty: Yes, he is a bit...different, but people change for the ones they love. You'd be surprised how much I changed for your mother.

[Barty sets the tray down on the window sill]

Pomni: Change? He's completely lost his mind!

Barty: Darling, why not come down to the ball and give him another chance? I mean, you might find you like this new Garfield.

Pomni: But it's the old one I fell in love with, Dad. I'd give anything to have him back.

[Pomni reaches for one of the tea cups, but Barty quickly grabs it instead]

Barty: Uh, darling. That's mine. Decaf. O-otherwise I'm up all night.

[Pomni takes a sip from the other cup and smiles]

Pomni: Thanks.

[Barty smiles back but looks distressed]
