Hot Dog Silver and the Pirate Raid!!!!
The truth is, we got attacked by pirates. They came during the night, and only Agent Pizza heard them because he had been working on some diagram. He lept up sending his drawing flying into his turkey roaster (or at least that's what it looks like, I don't know if that is what it is for. He says he keeps it for recreational purposes.) Anyway he rang th efirebell and we all leaped out of our bunks and did the standard procedure for fire drills; Jump into the nearest waste basket and pretend you are a piece of trash. It works every time.
To all of our surprise, this didn't stop the pirates, and they steam rollered onto our ship. The lead pirate stepped forward and pulled out a few note cards. I figured he didn't like presenting because he began to sweat and his voice quivered. He said"He-llo, mmy name is Long John Silver". Then he switched note cards and said "And this is my nephew Hot Dog Silver" He changed them again "We are here to take your ship, so please leave and then we can take it." He looked up expectantly at us and then whispered "You are supposed to say 'Here is our boat, you can have it, we do not need it anymore.' " We all stared blankly at the pirate and his nephew. Then Long John Silver gave us a note card that said "Here is our boat, you can have it, we do not need it anymore". Zora began reading it, but then Agent Pizza grabbed it out of her hands and threw it off the ship. Chizu said "How will we know what our lines are?". The agent looked very mad(At least I think he was because there was steam coming out of his ears) and said "You can get off our ship now, we happen to need it at the moment."
The nephew, Hot Dog Silver, said "Ok", and dragged his uncle off the ship. It was quite happy moment. We all high-fived and exclaimed about our cleverness of getting them off the ship. "I thought we were going to die" said Chizu. The agent, meanwhile, had attached his beach ball skis to his feet and was crazily skiing towards the pirates. I had a pretty good idea what he was doing. He hadn't given anyone a lecture since yesterday. That is quite a long time for him. In a simultaneous motion we all ran away out of hearing distance. We didn't want a nap this early in the day.
That is what happened today so far. Hopefully the pirates won't return, but you never know! Bye, and a pleasant sea voyage to you, if you are taking one!

Ouchie Ouchie Koala dance, bring me a turnip full of rice!
We were kind of short on supplies, but due to that tiny hurricane, we aren't quite at our scheduled stop yet, and we were hungry. We all decided to stop on a small island in the middle of the sea, and On it there was a tribe of natives who were always dancing. They greeted us by singing "Ouchie Ouchie Koala dance, bring me a turnip full of rice!" We were very baffled by this strange behaviour, until a large mountain gorilla told us to pet the small bottle of marmalade. Everybody was wondering what was going on, when the mountain gorilla unzipped himself, and we realized it was a costume. After that, We bought supplies and ran to the ship as fast as possible. Sadly, the ship was gone, and we were very sad until an oar appeared with a message.
"You're boat has been stolen by pirates. Go to the southern end of the island and place a bag of gold there, and we will return your ship"
I was very annoyed, and so I pulled out my expandable private jet, and before anybody could ask, I flew over to the pirates and gave them a lecture. By the end, they were all asleep, and I was so taken aback I threw them and my jet into the ocean and drive the ship around the isle. Everybody should have thanked me, but instead they asked me what took so long. I noticed that It was the next day, and Everybody boarded the boat. I then went to my cabin and skulked for half an hour before Nadine came in to give me a lecture about lectures. I hastily tried to hide the plans for a new and improved penguin boiler, but she saw them anyway and turned into a pickle. I was really tired then, so I fell asleep. I can't tell you what happened next, because that would spoil it.

Introducing Zora
My mother was called Madam Quacker though her name was Duckuss Elizabeth the 508th. She preferred madam Quacker for obvious reasons. I mean to say it would sound a little strange to hear "hello Madam Duckuss Elizabeth the 507th i mean 508th" every minute of every day. So she went to Washington DC to see the President of soap that her name be changed. So now she is known as Madam Quacker.
But why did she want to be known as madam Quacker. You see she had this fondness for ducks. She had fifty ducks herself so she insisted on naming me after a duck, but there was to many ducks in her duck pen so she said she would throw a log down in the middle of them. The ducks that were on the right of the log she would chose my name from.
So she went out and stubbed her toe on a log which seemed big enough. She threw the log down in the middle of the herd of ducks. This scared 45 of the ducks so much that they flew into the air and were scoped into a giant net by a duck helicopter and flown to France. 5 ducks remand( Henrieta the third, Zora, Turnips, Ellis and Portopan) Madam Quacker pointed at each of them and said Eni-meani-mini-med-catch a duckling by its head-if it gets you-go to bed-open the freezer and get some ice- that is my advise! Her finger stooped not on Henrieta the third(thank goodness) not on Portopan,Ellis or Turnips, but on Zora. So my name is Zora.

Day Number XIIII
We were journeying through the jungles of Peru at the time. We were all on deck watching the mysterious creatures of the Amazon do there job, except Zora and Agent Pizza. The Agent has a phobia of Ficus Trees, and told us he was making an invisible train shelter. Zora, on the other hand, was polishing her horn. Anyway, on the main deck me(Eréndira), Nadine and Chizu were observing the rain forest. We saw many interesting things including a squirrel, nine gorillas, and a cactus. These are the obvious things you would see in a rain forest but there was one unusual thing.
This was a large tree with a sign that said Professor M. Coraliggon(CoR-i-Li-Jen). I had heard the name before and I knew it. Before I could tell the others a darkness fell upon the forest and a single spotlight fell on a strange looking man. He began to dance a dance I recognized as "Call of the seed". That is when I realized where I had seen this man. He was my seven year Seed Professor. This was the guy who had taught me the ins and outs of seeds. And his famous quote told on radios all over the world: "I am always planting seeds, and when I am not planting, I am always planting seeds." At this point I grabbed a hockey stick from the Agents collection and handed it out to the Professor. He clutched it and was flung onto Gusto's perch. Gusto said"a;woeijfklenoasknpeownf"(Gustoian for: Get off my perch, you little cactus napper!) The professor considered him for a moment and then proclaimed "Why, it is the little duck that I found". I was amazed at his pronouncement and immediately started clapping. Nadine and Chizu joined me.
I heard a sound and Agent Pizza arrived and exclaimed "Who is the train thief that has stolen my best wig?"

Day 99 divided by 33
After Gusto's moment of brilliance, Agent Pizza made him an expressly warm and comfortable bed. Gusto was amazed and very confused, because he and the Agent Pizza are not too friendly with each other(Google "World War III" for details). He gave Agent Pizza a Penguin hug, to which the Agent gave a weak smile. He ran out of the room and I heard a gagging kind of sound. I was about to go investigate, when a eardrum-removing explosion occur outside. We all gathered around the deck to look. The mill we had spent the night was in ruins. The Agent returned and mumbled something about his Sardine Specimen backfiring.
We all gaped at him in surprise. Gusto even dropped his muffler. Then something horrible happened, the Agent said "Sardine Pox" and collapsed. We all knelt down and took his pulse. Gusto called the hospital, but dialed the wrong number and ordered a pizza. Eréndira grabbed the phone from Gusto and in the process knocked Gusto into the sea.

Colloqueel: The second day
Soon we came upon an island called Archipelago. Agent Pizza volunteered to go explore. While he was gone Zora decided that we should do something useful. Chizu volunteered that we make Gusto a perch. We agreed and went to work carving and cutting. When we were done we thought for a while and decided the ship was too plain. We decorated it so it looked like a traveling circus. Eréndira and I painted murals on the walls of monkeys and elephants, while Zora and Chizu hung tent-like sculptures all around. After that, Zora thought we should hang a picture of a pizza somewhere. We decided against that idea because there wasn't any snow. Chizu went in to the town and bought some tap shoes for Gusto, who ate them at once. Then we played a few hands of cards. Agent Pizza returned and, upon seeing the ship, promptly fell into the sea. On Chizu's command, Gusto jumped in after him, but got out again because he was allergic to peanut butter. We had to use a sea pole to drag him out(We wanted to use the North Pole, but Chizu wouldn't let us). Agent Pizza was sopping wet and just stared up at the ship. A tiger grinned back at him. Finally, he decided to pet Gusto and later to join us in cards.
After that the Agent disappeared for a while. We went looking for him and found a patch of snow. Zora exclaimed and put up the picture of the pizza. We all admired it for awhile. Then, the Agent appeared and cried out in shock. He expressed his surprise for the picture and was amazed we hadn't decorated it with cupcake photos. Chizu thought that was a good idea, but then Zora chucked her into our toadstool inventory. She didn't like that although I could instantly tell there was too many barometers.
