Tortuga, Look!
"Pintel," Ragetti shouted. "Tortuga! Look! Look!" The two pirates smiled and began rowing eagerly towards the island.
The dog piped his head up, what was the Wooden eye Pirate so excited about? Hey! Trees!Land!
The two pirates rowed until they reached the shallows, then they climbed out and tugged the boat and the dog to the sand.
"We did it! We did it!" Ragetti shouted jumping and running across the sand.
"Tortuga..." Pintel shook his head as if he couldn't believe it. "You think it's the same as when we left it?" he asked grinning as he looked towards the lights of the town.
"One can only hope."
The dog leaped out of the boat, keys jingling, he bent his head down and sniffed the ground. SAND! He barked happily and started rolling around in it. Hello! I missed you, I missed you, I missed you! Where have you been? It doesn't matter 'cause you're here, really, really here! He picked himself off and shook the sand out of his fur and bounded around. No more boat, no more boat! No more- He froze. There are cats over there… He tensed his muscles, ready to run, when he smelled something. Meat! Ham? Beef? Turtle? No…what is that?
He turned around to see Pintel and Ragetti dancing and throwing sand. He yelped.
The smell! It's smelly! Wooden-eye? Er-other Pirate? Can't you smell that?
"Poochie?" Ragetti said puzzled as the dog ran off."Where's 'e going?"
"Dunno.Best follow him." Pintel watched as the dog scurried towards a fire on the beach where a tall man was roasting some meat.
"Right." Ragetti took off, "POOCHIE!Doggy!Wait! Wait for Ragetti!"
