Synopsis

Life in Cube Town is getting a little tiresome for everyone- except for Pecola, of course. He's visiting Professor Hornbender, learning all about the Cubic Solar System. With a few clicks and keystrokes, the computer image of the galaxy takes on a striking likeness to Pecola's own face. And with this new order of the universe, Cube Town is doomed, headed straight for a collision with Planet Quad. The impending end has everyone expressing their regrets and last wishes. If only&

They huddle close together as Professor Hornbender counts down to the calculated collision. But nothing happens. Maybe that's because his calculations were based on Constellation Pecola, not the Cubic Solar System. Pecola has done it again. Still, this close brush with fate has caused everyone to re-evaluate. Cube Town is a much nicer place to be now.
