Chapter 11: Party Time!

A little wet tongue licked my beak as I came to, I was lying down on my stomach on top of something curved; I felt pain rush to my head as I opened my eyes.

"Uuuuh..." I rubbed my sore head and looked around;

PIXAR was sitting beside me, smiling as he bounced over and rubbed his face against my cheek. We were on top of a giant Hot Sauce bottle floating towards the Cove,

"W, why, what are we doing here?"

Suddenly I remembered what had happened; my friends and I had tracked Herbert down to his lair and flooded it to stop his plan, but I hadn't been able to get out in time and I was swept away by the flood before blacking-out.

Sitting up I rubbed the back of my head and winced "Must have hit my head on something" I looked at my puffle, "You ok PIXAR?" He squeaked and nodded in reply.

"Hey Eva!" I heard a familiar voice call, spinning round I saw Rookie a top some pizza boxes waving to me from the Cove shore; we were only a meter or so from the shore-line now.

"Yay! You did it! You got the hot sauce AND pizzas for the party!" Rookie exclaimed as he picked up a few slices from a box. "So tasty-mmmm- and mouth burn-y."

I looked around the Cove and saw that pizza boxes had been washed up on to the shore.

Rookie turned to me and said through a mouth full of pizza, "Hey! Is that your phone ringing?"

I gasped and pulled out my Spy Phone from my wet hoodie pocket, "It's the Director..."

The Director's silhouette appeared on-screen, "Well done agent. You recovered the stolen material. We don't know what Herbert was building. But we do know his plans are on hold for now. Thanks to you."

"Well I couldn't have done it without my friends help... Oh no my friends! Are they all right?!" I worried.

"No need to be alarmed agent, they informed me of what occurred and are on their way to the Cove now." The Director informed me. "Thanks Director." "No thank you and your fellow agents." And with that the Director was gone.

My Spy Phone beeped as I received 5 EPF medals for completing the mission, but I had other things on my mind at that moment.

"Eva!" I heard Prinsessrock call, she, her puffle and my friends were running down the steps towards the Cove. I jumped down from the giant hot sauce bottle and ran towards them; meeting them at the bottom of the stairs they enveloped me in a group hug. Rookie ran over and joined in the group hug,

"Awh!" he smiled,

we all looked at him,

"What I couldn't resist a hug!" he exclaimed. We all laughed as we broke away.

"We were so worried about you!" Tweak exclaimed.

"How did you end up here? Oh and here's your suitcase" Lenny handed the case to me.

I thanked him for the case and then shrugged, "I don't know, all I remember is spinning over and over in the water and then bumping my head on something before blacking out. I guess you guys got out in time though."

Prinsessrock shook her head, "Well not exactly. We were half-way up the steps when we were swept off our feet by the rising flood water, and thrown out the door and on to the Beach snow as the water splashed out of the door and back into the sea. The jagged rock then sank back into the sea as we got up and realized that you weren't with us. We told the Director what had happened and they told us to come here."

"I see well I'm glad you're alright." I smiled as I took my spy glasses off.

"Now we can have that Pizza Party!" Rookie exclaimed.

...

After helping Rookie set up the party and take the Hot Sauce bottle back to the Pizza Parlour, we all began to dance around and eat pizza at the Cove. I brought Mater and PIXAR along to the party, and made sure Mater didn't eat all the pizza. Lenny called us over to the life guard chair he was sitting in while we were dancing,

"Guys you've got to see this!" he held up the binoculars by the chair.

He gave me the binoculars and told me to look out to sea, so I did, and I gasped as I saw Herbert and Klutzy floating atop the remnants of the solar laser as pizza floated all around them. My friends and Rookie giggled when they'd looked through the binoculars.

"Well he won't be troubling us for a while." Prinsessrock laughed.

...

A while later as my friends were dancing and chatting to Rookie, agents Bellykid5 and Avatar21860 joined me at the picnic table while I was eating some pizza.

"Hey guys!" I smiled, as PIXAR jumped up next to me.

"Hi!" Bellykid replied as she and Ava sat down beside me.

Bellykid was wearing her black hoodie and shades, whilst Ava was wearing her purple hoodie and her blonde hair was in two pony tails.

"Want some pizza?" I offered.

"Yeah." Ava smiled as I handed them a pizza box.

"Hey Ava watch this." I giggled as I ducked underneath the table.

"Hey I'm a talking pizza!" I exclaimed.

"AHH! DON'T EAT ME!" Bellykid yelled as she ran behind a tree in fright.

I came up from under the table, "Oh sorry Bellykid, it's just me."

Bellykid peeked out from behind the tree, "Oh... well then I'm a Dinosaur!" she exclaimed as she jumped out wearing her T-rex hoodie from the Prehistoric Party earlier that year.

"Well then me too!" I laughed as I put my T-rex hoodie on too.

Ava laughed and we all smiled as she put her purple dragon costume on.

"Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur!" Bellykid sang as we danced around, even PIXAR and Ava's blue puffle bounced up and down to the tune.

Eventually we stopped dancing and after taking our costumes off we sat back down at the table. After a few more slices of pizza I had an idea, "Let's get everyone dancing to celebrate!" I pulled out my purple boom box, placed it on the table and turned it on. 'Herbert Style' began to play,

"Alright everybody!" I ran through the crowd and jumped into the water and began to dance, "Herbert Style!" I shouted.

"Yeah!" Prinsessrock cheered and joined me as more penguins began to dance.

Rookie joined in doing crazy dance moves as we danced along to the funky beat. Soon everyone at the Cove was dancing along to the music. I laughed at how ironic it was that we were doing Herbert's victory dance, like he did during Operation: Blackout, when it was our victory this time. In fact, 'Herbert Style' had become quite a hit on the island not long after the blackout, with its funky beat, no one could stay still. I smiled at the thought, then the music finished playing, we had the victory this time.

I looked out to sea, 'Until next time Herbert, we'll be ready...'
