"What can I do," Josh muttered to himself as he looked at his cards. In order to decide who would get the treasure, Rocket and everyone else (minus Manik) started playing poker to see who would win. Before continuing on with the game, Josh and Rocket put down their cards before turning around to face the audience.

"We're sorry to disappoint anyone who was expecting an all-out brawl in this chapter."

"Not every one of fanfiction9821's stories contains a fight scene," Rocket said before he and Josh picked their cards back up.

"I win," Nack said.

"You just can't declare victory that fast, Nack."

"I can when I have these." Nack then laid his hand down to show four kings.

"Unbelievable," Rocket said as he laid down his cards.

"I've been cheated," Jacob said as he laid down his hand.

"Gotta admit, Nack. Four kings is a tough act to beat," Josh said.

"You got that, kid. Nothing can beat four kings," Nack said.

"You're forgetting that one thing can beat four kings."

"And what would that be?"

"These," Josh said as he laid his cards down to show four aces.

"What?! That's impossible," Nack said.

"Totally possible, Nack."

"Impossible. You were cheating."

"I never cheat unless I have to," Josh said.

"Fine. Take your damn treasure, but know this: you ain't seen the last of us," Nack said before he, Bark, and Bean walked off.

"We have a treasure to find, so let's get to it."

"Quite right, Josh. Let's see we can't find my treasure."


Josh, Manik, Rocket, and Jacob had found the treasure they were searching for after following all of Jacob's clues to the exact spot they were now.

"Here be the treasure, mateys. Get to digging, Josh," Jacob said.

"I know I'll need a shower after this," Josh said before he started digging in the sand. A few seconds later, Josh had found what he was looking for.

"I found it!"

"Haul it up!"

"On it," Josh said before grabbing the side of the chest and pushing it up through the hole.

"Got it," Jacob said as he pulled the chest out.

"Wait until I get out before you open that chest."

"Sorry, matey. It's now or never. Luckily, I still have the key to this chest."

"You had the key to this chest with you?"

"Indeed. You could say I was buried with it," Jacob said as he pulled out the chest's key. He then inserted the key into the lock before taking it off and opening the chest.

"Behold the glorious glow of my treasure." Rocket and Manik looked at the bountiful gold coins resting in the chest and were mesmerized by their beauty.

"Impressive, aren't they?"

"They are," Rocket and Manik both replied.

"Well, for your efforts, you deserve to keep a share of the gold," Jacob said before grabbing eighteen gold coins out of the chest. He then handed nine to Rocket and nine to Manik.

"That's for you to keep."

"Thanks," Rocket said.

"And this is another nine coins to give to Josh when he gets out of that hole," Jacob said as he grabbed nine more coins out of the chest. He then handed the coins to Rocket before lifting the chest onto his shoulder.

"Wait. I thought we had a deal."

"Ah, thank ye for reminding me, Rocket. I was about to cross over before you reminded me." Jacob then set the chest down before becoming a cloud of black mist that left Sally's body.

"Thank you and may that gold last forever," Jacob said before grabbing the chest and disappearing.

"Sally, are you all right," Rocket asked as he stood over Sally.

"Is she all right," Josh asked as he climbed out of the hole.

"Maybe." Sally's eyes then fluttered open to see Rocket and Josh standing over her.

"Josh? Rocket," Sally asked.

"Sally, you're back," Rocket said as he helped Sally to her feet.

"I am, but I have three questions I really need to ask."

"What?"

"What happened, why am I dressed like a pirate, and why is Josh covered in sand," Sally asked.

"All really good questions and I'll tell you all about today after we get back," Rocket said.

"Good, because I don't remember anything after that black mist came out of the bottle Josh and Manik had."

"It's a lot to explain, Sal. You'll just have to believe me when I tell you every detail."

"Why wouldn't I," Sally asked before she, Rocket, Josh, and Manik started the long journey back home.
