Hey guys, this is the next chapter of Stranded. First things first, *lets down* now, we last left off where the agents are going to get help from Flatfoot the Pirate, soon after, the radio mysteriously cut itself on and let out these three words, "It ends here…." Spooky! And the correct answer was ROR. Ninja is on team ROR, but I'm on team OK! The penguins that will be featured are: Jay, GPS, Icetail, Wazzy, Lilly, and Zane. I'll also add some new penguins in the next chapter. You'll find out soon.

Pukadella-Sweet Sacrifice: Calm down, yes.

Guest: I wonder as well

Zanerexn41: You sent this 3 times, one time is enough.

Katie07111: Sweet!

Goody50: Not sure what that meant, but you have indeed met with a terrible fate.

Brittney9100: He's behind you!

Cuddles140: Nice to meet you and glad you enjoy the story.

Bellykid carefully stepped away from the radio.

"Wh-what did it just say?" she stuttered in fright.

"I think it said, 'It ends here…'" Rookie answered

"Why? What does it mean?" Dot asked

"It reminds me of something very familiar that I've heard in my days." Gary said

"What do you mean by familiar?" Bellykid asked

"Well, when I was a young penguin…."

"Aww, here it comes!" Jet Pack Guy interrupted.

"As I was saying, when I was a young penguin, I did not watch much television. I was always so focused on my work, until one day my brother introduced me to a soap opera." Gary began

"Who watches an opera about soap?!" Rookie exclaimed

Jet Pack Guy did not want to hurt Rookie nor did he want to listen to the story, so he did the right thing and left the room and headed towards his bunker.

"Jet? Where are you going?" Dot asked

"To bed! Where things actually make sense!" he shouted as he waddled away.

"I do not advise you do that." Gary stated

"And why is that?" Jet Pack Guy asked mocking Gary.

"Because, if there is a ghost and/or ghoul on this ship, it is best to stay together to avoid separation." Gary said

Jet Pack Guy rolled his eyes. "You know what, until I find some proof of an actual ghost, I'm going to bed."

Jet Pack Guy waddled upstairs to his bunk in frustration as the rest of the agents looked at him in concern.

"I'm a little concerned about Jet Pack Guy." Bellykid said

"I agree with Ace. I'm a little worried about him too." Dot said

"Why is Jet acting even meaner than usual?" Rookie asked

"Well, I'm not entirely sure why Agent J is acting this way. He was interrupted from his slumber, maybe a quick rest is just what he needs." Gary thought

"Well, I sure hope you're right G." Dot said

"As do I, Agent D, as do I." Gary sighed. "Well, back to the story, the name of the soap opera was 'One Day Away', and at the end of the series the last three words were 'It ends here'."

"Wow, what a strange coincidence. So maybe it was the soap opera over the radio." Dot said

"I highly doubt it. The series has been dormant for years, there's no way that it could've returned." Gary said in doubt.

"Wow that is so weird." Rookie said

"What is it, Rookie?" Bellykid asked

"Gary watches TV!" Rookie blurted out

The agents just glared at Rookie.

"So that might explain what was heard over the radio, but why did it keep shutting on even when I turned it off?" Bellykid asked

"That is another mystery that I'll have to investigate on my own time. But for now, I think we should focus on looking out for Captain Flop." Gary said

"You're right, but shouldn't Jet help?" Dot asked

"Yeah, Dot's right, Jet should help us too!" Rookie said

"I would agree to that, but remember how he was before he went upstairs? I'd rather not have that happen again. I think it'd be best to let him sleep." Bellykid said

"He has arrived!" Gary shouted

"Yes! Captain Flop is here!" Rookie said jumping up and down.

"Rookie, head to the crow's nest and wave him in!" Gary ordered

"What?" Rookie asked in confusion.

"Nevermind, Agent D, head to the crow's nest and wave him in!" Gary ordered

"Aye, aye Gary!" Dot said heading up to the nest.

Dot waddled up the ladder and to the top of the ship to the crow's nest. (Just in case you don't know what a crow's nest is, it is the part of a ship where some pirates go to lookout for certain things, it usually comes with a telescope. It's also pretty small, enough to fit one person.) Dot used the telescope that was on the edge and looked through it too see Captain Flop's ship.

"He's getting closer! Give him the signal!" Gary called out to Dot.

Dot heard Gary's call and began waving her flippers.

"AHOY CAPTAIN FLOP! THIS IS THE S.S. FLATFOOT!" Dot shouted

Captain Flop gave a nod and docked the ship right next to the S.S Flatfoot.

"Ahoy!" he said as he placed a plank between his ship and their ship. A couple of penguins waddled off the ship.

"Wait a minute, I know them! It's our agents!" Bellykid shouted.

The first one off the ship was Jay, followed by Icetail, Wazzy, Zane, Lilly, and GPS. They waddled off the ship and stopped in fascination as they saw the 4 agents. Their expression soon changed from shocked to ecstatic as they rushed over to them.

"Agents!" Gary shouted.

"We thought you guys were missing!" Rookie shouted

The agents explained their story.

"Well, we weren't missing, we were mostly just rescued." Jay said

"It all started from when we woke up, we felt a rumble on the ship." Zane explained

"Then I went out to go investigate. I noticed that for some odd reason, the ship had stopped running. I called out for everyone else to wake up." Icetail said

"No one came down so we took matters into our own flippers and tried to figure out what had made the ship stop running. We couldn't see anything." Wazzy said

"I searched all around and I couldn't find Sponge and Test, they were supposed to be captaining the ship. The edge of the ship was too high to see over." Said Lily this time

"That's when we all stood on the edge of the ship so we could see better, that was when the ship began moving again out of nowhere and threw us overboard. Lucky for us the water wasn't too cold so we swam away from the ship." GPS said this time.

"Except for the ones who couldn't swim, they floated on a life jacket. Then we soon came upon a ship and Captain Flop lent us a flipper and we've been searching for you guys ever since we snapped back into reality." Jay giggled

"Once I received that radio transmission from you guys, I knew it was the ship that these agents had gotten separated from. I'm just glad they're ok." Captain Flop stated

"I am too." Bellykid said

"Would you agents like to stay on my ship for a while, I'm just getting ready to make something for dinner." Captain Flop decided.

"That's a great idea, we'd love to!" Dot said as all of the agents waddled aboard the S.S Fishy.

Later on after dinner, Captain Flop was telling one of his famous pirate stories as Rookie received a mysterious message on his spy phone.

"Guys, we need to get back on our ship!" he exclaimed

"What's the matter, Rookie?" GPS asked

"Jet's in trouble." He quivered

Uh oh, Jet Pack Guy is in trouble? I wonder how. He was alone on the ship! Or was he? Oh man, I left your rope in the future! Well I guess you're not getting off this cliff for a while. Enjoy being "stranded" on the cliff! Ugh just another one of my bad jokes, please ignore it.
