"Hey, people, in all my brilliance I realized I forgot to take the dollar. Not like any of you helped."
Shuri gave me a dark look, but said nothing. I wonder why.
I teleported us back to Pandora's Island and ran east. I grabbed the dollar out of the canadian guy's hand, slapped him on the back, and teleported back to SuperUberUltraMegatropolis. To my surprise, he appeared along with me, Faw, and Shuri. "I thought you didn't want to come with my party."
"I don't. I just hitched a lift, so to speak."
I felt that was a logical enough answer, so I let him leave.
I went back to the bakery, and took out my money.
"Hey, Bakerknight!"
Nobody responded.
"Hey, Baker person!"
Still no response.
"Hey, I want to buy a pie!"
The bakerknight shrugged, and opened the register. "Alright. That money you have there is just enough for an ultimate pie."
Wow, he could tell how much money I was holding from a distance!
Trying not to look impressed, I responded, "Well, I guess it is. But I want to buy your ultimate pie for free."
"No."
"Why not? Why can't I buy it for the universal currency of poverty?"
"Why not?" he mocked me, "Because I'm the one with the broadsword."
"Oh. How about I buy it for free, with this money as currency?"
"What?"
"I don't know. That's what the voices told me to do."
Shuri sighed and took the money out of my hands, walked up to the baker, and gave it to him. He gave her an ultimate pie. She walked back to me.
