Plot Summary

Glassy Glosser, The Pinchers' guitarist dreads one day of the year - the anniversery of the day he and his one true love, Ruth, broke up. Although it has been more than 30 years, Glassy still can't seem to get over why she left him.

His bandmates, Glossy Glasser, Jackie Glasser, and Jaq Haro hear him and decide that they want to help him. After some research, they discover where Ruth, Glassy ex-lover, is currently living - Miami, Florida. It is decided that the three will go there to see about Ruth.

When they arrive in Miami, Jackie gets info on where Ruth is living and the three travel to her house. They disguise themselves as 'The Society of Surprises', and tell her that she has won a free trip to Brosburg, which is really a plan to get her and Glassy together. After some debating, Ruth says yes to the trip, not knowing what is in store for her.

Whenever Glossy, Jackie and Jaq return home, they find Glassy worse than he was before - confused, and nervous about where the others have been. The trio lies and says that they were in Miami for other reasons.

The next day is the day that Ruth arrives at the Pinch Mansion. Neither she, or Glassy, knows what is going on. Glassy and Ruth see eachother for the first time in 30 years, both shocked at seeing the other. They speak for a while, and decide that, since Ruth is in the area, they could go out, for old times sake.

Glassy finds that he is so nervous he can't even eat, and runs out of the restaurant, in front of Ruth. Ruth tells Glassy that his nervousness can't get the best of him, and that he shouldn't be afraid. The two soon leave the restaurant and get burgers at McDonalds, and watch the cars on the highway. While watching the cars, Ruth declares that..."I'm still crazy over you...", before planting a kiss on Glassy. It is then official - Glassy and Ruth are together again.

Glassy takes Ruth to a spa the next day, and Ruth ends up kissing Glassy again, shocking him even more. That evening, Glassy goes to Ruth's hotel room, sees her on the balcony, and plays her a song on his guitar, with Glossy, Jaq, Sean and Patchmo singing with him. The two go up to Lake Starlight and watch the sun set. Ruth declares that she has fallen in love with Glassy all over again. However, their hapiness is short-lived, as Ruth is to return to Florida the next day. Glassy bids her farewell at the airport, but Ruth vows that she will be back.

A few weeks later, Glassy is driving along the Brosburg roads, when he sees that someone has bought a house downtown. Glassy is instantly curious and decides to investigate. He almost wrecks his car when he discovers that Ruth has bought the house. Ruth tells Glassy that she moved in so that she can be with him. Glassy then asks Ruth to a dance that Friday, and Ruth can't say no.

Friday comes and the two, along with the rest of The Pinchers, go to the dance. Glassy has made an arangement with a friend of his so that a piano will be avaliable. In the middle of the dance, at the right moment, Glassy plays Ruth a love song on the piano. Ruth tells him that that was the most beautiful thing she has ever heard, and it is suggested by Glossy that, if he is going to propose to her, now is the best time.

Glassy Glosser gets on his knees, and asks Ruth if she will marry him. Ruth declares that she will marry him. Everyone at the dance cheers for Glassy, and Glassy is the happiest of all. The dance ends, and everyone goes home, including Glassy, who believes that that night was the best of his life.
