Hey dudes! I'm back with a new story! Sorry it took so long, I was super busy.
So right now, here's a story about Arrby's life with Sid. Wait, am I the first one writing about Sid and Arrby in this site? If yes, wow!
Anyways, here it is. It's a two-shot story.
Rated T because of reader appropriateness.
Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir, this is Arrby. I know it's hard to tell you how I feel, but... *sighs* here's my story written below.
I hope you won't get mad at me.
There's a difference between a need and a want. If you got something that you really need, you will use it very well. If you got something that you really want, soon you will just ignore it.
That what I want to tell Sid Swashbuckle, my pirate pal. He gets what he needs but as I have observed, he just wants them all. Yeah, they're great treasures but does he really need it? What will he use it for? And when will he start "weeding out" some treasures that he doesn't use anymore?
Apologies about the word that I used. Sid and I just ate some seaweed. It has an exquisite taste that I later realized I had seaweed stuck to my teeth. I just brushed my teeth, by the way.
So yeah, that's what I was thinking when I get to work with Sid for years.
Oh, sorry everyone. I guess we haven't met. I'm Arrby, and I'm a pirate pup. Sid and I have been searching for treasures (everything), and swashbuckling, and searching for lands, and searching for whales and merpups...
Too many to mention.
Okay, so, going back, still, Sid and I are looking for treasures. Here are the stuff that he found but we didn't get:
1. Cameras. "But Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir, we already have at least six cameras!"
2. A bunch of fanny packs. "You have so many bags of different kinds, especially fanny packs."
3. A chest full of longjohns. "You already have a bunch of them too."
4. Buoy chains. "You just got one yesterday, Captain Sid sir!"
"Oh, now what?" Sid groaned. "I just want more, something different, something new, before I miss it!"
"Can't we just take a break from searching treasures and have fun instead?" I asked.
"Haha! Take a break? Never! Searching treasures is more fun! Let's go find some more, Arrby."
I sighed. "Okay, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir."
I mean, really, I'm quite tired.
Dear Diary,
Sid Swashbuckle is never tired of searching treasures. Well I am! I'm like having the most contribution on getting treasures. He just commands me to do such things. I was about to say that I need to rest but he keeps interrupting me. What if I get sick? And who's to blame?
But I hate to say those words to Sid because it may find offensive for him. He's often angry if he doesn't get the treasure he wanted or if his plan doesn't work. For me, it's quite okay because there's a next time to get that treasure. But he refuses.
What am I going to do? Wait for him to give up? He never gives up. Well, I'm kinda starting to give up. Remember?
CASE NUMBER 1
It was 4 in the afternoon and Sid and I haven't had lunch. I was so hungry I wanted to eat a whole bag of pup treats. Sid and I had breakfast at around 5 in the morning!
"Come on, Arrby! Treasures are right over there!"
"I hope they're treats," my stomach growled. "I'm so hungry!"
"No time! Come on!"
We opened the treasure chest but there was none.
"What?!" Sid banged the chest. "We looked all morning for this but it came out nothing?"
"I keep telling you, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir, there's no treasure!"
Sid clenched his fist and growled.
"Can we eat now?" I asked, still begging for food.
CASE NUMBER 2
We've been up for 27 hours and we still can't get the crab away from the treasure chest we found. We were both so sleepy but Sid still doesn't give up. "We have... to scare... the crab away!"
"How?" I yawned. "We tried everything but nothing happened."
We stayed silent and we both fell asleep. I was dreaming about playing ball with other stray pups. I suddenly woke up. "Sid! I mean, Captain Sid sir! What about a ball? I mean..."
"Excellent idea!" He took a ball out of his pocket. He threw it to the treasure chest but it startled the crab.
The crab got mad at us. He was about to outnumber us so we ran away.
"I should've asked him to fetch!" he said.
"Crustaceans don't fetch, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir! Run!"
We ran to the ship and drove away fast. Later, we were miles away from the shore. There was no sight of the crab anymore.
"Come on, Arrby, let's go back and get that treasure!"
"Did you see how the crab got mad at us? It was about to bite me!"
"That crab is gone. Let's goooo!"
"Sure... Captain... Boss Mister..."
I passed out and I didn't know what happened after. All I heard was...
"Arrby?"
See? He never gives up. He doesn't even have time for a break! I really need help.
Yours Truly, Arrby
The next week, Sid and I are still searching again. This time, Sid was invited to his pirate friend's arrr-mazing birthday party. Many pirates are talking to each other, while Sid plans to get the precious chest full of gold coins. I refused to do such a thing because from what I heard, the chest is very important to the pirate friend's family. They've been keeping the coins for centuries.
"Something might happen, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir," I said. "The chest is so important to them!"
"Nothing will happen, Arrby. Even if this chest will be mine!"
"Oh, this is gonna be bad," I whimpered.
While the pirates are having a good time for themselves (A/N: In other words, they're getting themselves drunk) I saw Sid sneaking in, getting the chest full of gold coins (he can bring it by himself because the chest is small, just like the size of a school backpack).
While, I was worried on what's going to happen.
He brought the chest to our ship but then, the 100 million dollar house owned by Sid's pirate friend was about to fall apart. The pirate friend saw Sid with the chest. "He's got me chest! Mateys, get that chest!"
His friends took the chest away from Sid and kicked him to our ship. I was already in the ship when the other pirates tried to get Sid. Also, the pirates took our anchor line. Sid got mad after.
"Oh, blow me down! I'll get back to you very soon! Sid Swashbuckle, away!"
While we were miles away from the shore...
"You know you shouldn't have done that," I said.
"And why not, Arrby?" Sid crossed his arms. "That treasure can cost a lot! And I need it!"
"That pirate friend of yours needs it more than you do. No offense, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir. He and his family has been keeping it for years! It's like you're not his friend anymore."
"So what?"
"I'm afraid we've been thrown out to sea. I don't like it that way."
"What's got into you, Arrby? Looks like you had a lot of fun earlier. Get some rest, while I sort things out myself."
Big question is, what's got into you, Sid Swashbuckle?
Dear Diary,
I have observed, Sid is going crazy. I bet his pirate friend is gonna be his bad bandit now. Really. I refused to agree to Sid's plan. Maybe he didn't listen to his pirate friend when his pirate friend explained about his precious chest full of gold coins. He also mentioned that the coins are already demonetized. I mean, seriously, can Sid buy something with it?
Sid doesn't care what's gonna happen or what's going on. He just wants everything, and he shouldn't be using the word NEED. I'm not angry at him, I'm just trying to tell him, but he interrupts me. Being angry doesn't fit my own nature, even though I'm a pirate pup.
There is something wrong with him. But I don't know what to do about this. I really, really need help.
Yours Truly, Arrby
Few days later, Sid and I had a quiet breakfast. Very quiet. We can only hear the waves rushing and a few seagulls squawking. You know why? Sid was looking at his treasure map. Yep, he's very busy. Guess he's planning to get something that he "needs"... again. While, I was just staring at him. And eating my least favorite pup treats? Well I'm having a bad day.
"Got a plan again, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir?" I said.
"Well I'm going to get a golden aquarium located in this big house. And look, it even has a gazebo! I need, need that golden aquarium! It's gonna be the new home of my goldfish!" he showed his goldfish in a fish- wait, what's that?
"Uh, isn't that a toy goldfish?"
"It's the best goldfish I've ever found! And look at its arrr-mazing features! Look at those golden scales!"
"I would not be getting that aquarium if I were you," I mumbled.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
"Then quiet. You know why I don't like to hear you mumble, Arrby," he went back looking at his treasure map.
Hours later, we reached the spot. Sid and I landed on the shore and checked the map again. "Can you check the interior, Arrby? It is located at the northwest of this house."
"Sure," I lowered my voice. I'm not that happy to help him today.
"Are you sure you don't want to check the map again?"
"I have a good photographic memory, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir," then I headed to the big mansion. I sneakily entered at the secret entrance...
Here we go. I don't wanna do this, but I don't wanna let my captain down.
I finally found the golden aquarium on the small platform. Good thing there are no fishes in it, just water, and there is a cover at the top. I can get it without getting the floor wet. So I got my grapple from my treasure chest pup pack, carefully wrapped the aquarium, and moved it away from its location. I pulled it back to the secret entrance but it's quite heavy for me to pull, or push (I went to the other side to push it).
"Captain Sid sir," I whispered. "Help!"
"Arrby, hurry!"
"I can't! It's too... ugh, heavy!"
"Intruder alert!" I heard a security guard.
"Uh-oh..."
"Arrby, where are you?"
"Sid, urrgh, sir, I need, help!"
"Cut the line!" I heard another security guard.
"Almost there!" I was almost out of the mansion but a security guard cut the line from my grapple. I lost the aquarium, crashed onto Sid's face, and we rolled and landed on our boat.
"What in the black barnacles, Arrby?" he growled.
"I'm sorry, Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir. I think someone just cut my grapple."
"Whoever the hell you are, I'm gonna have you arrested!" we heard someone. It must be the one who cut my grapple line. Uh-oh.
"Hurry, Captain! Full speed ahead!" I panicked. Sid accelerated the boat and we sailed off.
Later, we were now very far away from the shore.
"Great, Arrby," Sid puts an ice pack on his face. "You almost wrecked my face back there!"
"Sorry sir. But it's not that bad. A bit reddish on your nose and a bit swelling on your upper lip, it will be fine."
"Fine? How would I be fine? You failed the mission!"
"You didn't get to help me, Captain!"
Uh-oh. My anger's raising up. Should I tell him how I feel? And why am I having a bad day?
I can't stand it anymore. Sigh. Goodbye, Sid. I mean, what?
"I needed help back there, Captain," I started. "I am very, very tired, and you wouldn't bother. Sorry, but you're only just standing there, watching me get that stuff you really want." It's really hard to offend him.
"But I need them!" he said.
"Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir, you don't really need them. You just want them. A giant aquarium for your toy fish? A giant shell of Puplantis and keep us flooded with pearls? What do you need it for? The shell is alive! A really big sloop that we're obviously stealing it and then someone just cut our line and we ricocheted under the sea? And even a really big Ferris wheel? A big extinct whale? You even stole a giant whip cream machine, for crying out loud! You know I don't like whip cream."
"Arrby, stop that!"
"Sorry I had to cut you off, Sid. What happened to the days that we were together having fun? With less stealing and more of the pirate fun? I really miss that.
And friends do help each other. You didn't help me!" I started crying. Uh-oh. Um...
"Don't you dare bawl your eyes out in front of me, Arrby!" Sid got so mad. He didn't want to see anyone crying in front of him.
"I'm sorry I can't help it!" I wailed. "We were best friends, Captain. I was so proud of myself when you called me your first and best mate. And then what happened? You were treating me like you hate me and let me do the chores like you're the highest authority or something. And after those searching for treasures thing, it gets worse and we always get captured, and I don't like it that way. What happened, Captain?"
"Arrby-"
"Sorry, Sid. Our friendship is over. Arrby, away!"
I back-flipped to the water and swam to the underside of the boat. I pressed the secret button and it opened a little submarine that only I could ride on. I hopped in, flushed the water away from the sub's interior (water rushed in during my entrance), and drove away.
I can hear Sid yelling from my pup tag. By the way, I can hear anything what's going on inside the pirate ship through my pup tag. "Arrby? Arrby, you come back here, or else! Arrby!"
I turned off my pup tag.
(Not a diary entry but I want it to put Arrby's thoughts in a quite long narrative form)
I know it's quite bad to say to Sid some things like that. But I think my heart felt a little lighter. I was able to tell him how I feel. I hope he would reflect from everything I said.
Worst part is, I cried in front of him. Yeah, he didn't want to see anyone like that, especially me. He might think I'm too sensitive, and he didn't like sensitive people. I couldn't help myself.
I'm not like Sid who's mean and who gets everything he wanted. I mean, I liked him before. He was always happy and very nice. Now he became different. Yet still I help him.
I'll get back to Sid someday, unless he learns his lesson.
My eyes are still flooded with tears while driving my sub. I was able to let out my sadness without Sid bothering me. Wait... where am I?
Land ho! I found a place where I can drop off!
Wait, is that Adventure Beach? Yes!
I know what to do. I'll talk to the PAW Patrol.
And that's the first part. Hope you dudes like it!
And sorry I kinda spoiled the latest Sea Patrol eps. But it's just a teensy bit. PAW Patrol was only mentioned once in this chapter.
Last part of the story is up next!
