1 week later Cali & Koda were together walking around town.
"It's such a beautiful evening. Don't you agree sugar plum?" asked Koda as Cali meowed in approval & kissed him on the cheek.
"It's always nice going for a walk around town with you" said Koda as Cali purred happily. As they walked along the bay they saw something wash up on shore. When they went to investigate they discovered it was a message in a bottle.
"Let's see what the message in the bottle says" said Koda as Cali & himself walked over to the bottle. After opening it they retrieved the parchment from inside.
"I wonder who this is from" said Koda as Cali & Koda unrolled the parchment. They were surprised to discover that Sid was the writer of the message.
"Let's get this to the Lookout. The others will be quite surprised to see this" said Koda as Cali & himself put the parchment back in the bottle & headed back to the Lookout. Soon they arrived.
"Guys we found a message from Sid" said Koda as he showed everyone the bottle.
"Really?" asked Ryder in a surprised voice.
"Yes. Cali & I found it washed up on the beach" said Koda.
"Tell us what it says" said Elias as Koda pulled the parchment out & began reading from it.
"Ahoy Koda Shepherd. It's been a while since our encounter. A lot has happened since Arrby & I headed out to sea again. We ended up in Tehran where we successfully snuck into the weapons vault & retrieved the items you wished to obtain. Since the US government has been seeking to get them we handed the items over to them. I thought long & hard about when you saved my life. It's been difficult to accept but I've decided to start using my piracy to help people instead of hurt them. I've returned lots of lost items to their rightful owners. I'm sorry for giving you a hard time & I promise to never steal anything for my own personal gain again. I hope someday our paths cross again. PS There's something in the bottle I found that your feline girlfriend will love. Until we meet again, Sid Swashbuckle" said Koda as he read from the note. Everyone was surprised to hear that Sid had given up his selfish ways.
"I'm surprised he knows about my relationship with Cali" said Koda as he checked the bottle. When he tilted it downwards a beautiful necklace fell out. Koda instantly recognized it.
"It's the Heart of the Ocean" said Koda in a shocked tone.
"It's beautiful" said Ryder with an amazed smile.
"I'd say it's as beautiful as Kelly's golden pearl necklace" said Elias.
"That's the most generous thing Sid's ever done" said Kelly as Koda put the necklace on Cali.
"A beautiful necklace for a beautiful kitty" said Koda as Cali went to check herself out in the mirror. Upon seeing herself she burst into tears which drew concern from everyone.
"Cali is everything- WOAH" cried Koda as Cali tackled him to the ground kissing him all over his face.
"I'm glad you like it Cali" said Koda with a warm smile.
"That's so cute" said Katie as she cried tears of joy.
"It sure is" said Ryder in a cheerful manner.
"Nothing beats true love to warm someone's heart" said Elias with a smile.
"Love is such a beautiful thing" said Kelly as she sighed dreamily.
"I love being able to share such special moments with my soul mate" said Koda as Cali purred & kissed him.
"If I recall correctly the Heart of the Ocean was a rare piece of jewelry that seemingly vanished when the Titanic sank in 1912" said Elias.
"They even made a hugely successful movie about the disaster" said Koda.
"The music video "Oops I Did It Again" also referenced the Heart of the Ocean" said Elias.
"That's rather interesting. Anyways Cali & I need to go. We have reservations for dinner at Mr Porter's restaurant" said Koda as he smiled enthusiastically.
"Enjoy your night" said Ryder with a warm smile.
"We will. Let's go Cali" said Koda as Cali meowed happily. They then headed off to Mr Porter's restaurant for dinner. The rest of the evening was relatively normal with nothing unusual happening. Everyone was amazed that Sid had a change of heart which made them relieved that he'd never steal from them again.
