Chapter 9

A dramatic exit

"Hey, DUDES!!!!!!!" Turtle had an announcement.

"What?!" the pirate dudes yelled back.

"My friends and I have to leave to go on a little trip. I'm not going to tell you where we're going, because I like being mysterious." The pirates groaned. Turtle gave them the evil eye. They shut up. "Inform us of everything everyday by dropping letters through this portal. Letters back will inform you if anything goes wrong with our plans. If you don't hear from us for a week, then Monkey got drunk again and blew up the world we were in." Monkey was too hung over to realize what Turtle was saying, therefore she didn't hurt Turtle severely. "So like . . . bye, and stuff." Turtle was so eloquent. They went back to the house boat and sailed through a portal which Turtle opened and closed behind them.

Isn't it mysterious! I needed an excuse for them to go into Book 3, so read and review both books.
