Sam

One day, two kids named Eleanor and Benji were walking home from school. As they were walking, all of a sudden Benji could feel some kind of breeze that seemed to be coming from behind him.

Benji

Um, what's that breeze?

Sam

he said to his sister.

Eleanor

I don't know,

Sam

said Eleanor. As they turned around and looked, they were both completely and totally surprised.

Eleanor

Um, Benji?

Sam

said Eleanor.

Benji

Y-y-yes?

Sam

he said.

Eleanor

Is- is that a pirate ship?

Benji

I-I think so,

Sam

said Benji. Sure enough, behind them was a giant pirate ship. But the pirate ship wasn't on water, it was flying, and it flew down right next to them. A pirate popped his head up over the side.

Reverse Cannons And Takeoff

Pirate Peggy Pants

Arrh, me hearties, be you Benji and Eleanor?

Eleanor

Um, yes?

Sam

said Eleanor.

Eleanor

Who who are you?

Pirate Peggy Pants

I be Pirate Peggy Pants, and I've been looking for you for quite some time. Your mum said you should be walking home this direction.

Benji & Eleanor

Really?

Sam

said the kids.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Yes, she gave me this note.

Sam

He passed a note down, and they could see in their mum's handwriting was a letter. 'Hi kids, I hope you have a wonderful afternoon. Go have some fun with Pirate Peggy Pants. I'll see you later.'

Benji

Wow,

Sam

said Benji.

Benji

She- she wants us to come have some fun with you?

Pirate Peggy Pants

That's fantastic,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants,

Pirate Peggy Pants

because there is lots of fun to be had. Climb aboard,

Sam

he said.

Eleanor

Um, your pirate ship is very tall,

Sam

said Eleanor.

Eleanor

I-I don't think that we can climb in.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Don't worry,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

I will reverse cannon shot you.

Benji & Eleanor

What?

Sam

said the kids. But before they could ask what was going to happen, Pirate Peggy Pants had two cannons aimed directly at them.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Three, two, one, fire!

Sam

he yelled. All of a sudden, the cannons Pchew! but nothing came out. Instead, it seemed to suck the kids back in. Thoooop!

Benji

Whoa!

Sam

said Benji as he landed on the deck.

Eleanor

That was incredible!

Sam

said Eleanor.

Pirate Peggy Pants

You've seen nothing yet,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Raise anchor! Lift the mainsail! Grab the helm!

The Mystery Of The Moving Barrels

Benji & Eleanor

What- what- what are you talking about?

Sam

said the kids.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Don't worry, this ship knows where to go. Ha ha ha ha har,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. With that, the ship lifted up into the air and started sailing over all of the houses.

Eleanor

Um, Pirate Peggy Pants?

Sam

said Eleanor.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Yes, Eleanor?

Eleanor

Um, how is the ship flying like this?

Pirate Peggy Pants

Well, I don't really know, but all I know is that it's fun.

Benji

And where are we going?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Well, I don't really know that either.

Benji & Eleanor

What?

Sam

said the kids.

Benji

How do you not know where we're going?

Pirate Peggy Pants

Well, there arrived some barrels on me ship, and they seem to be guiding where we're going.

Benji

What barrels?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Over there,

Costume Magic And Painted Sails

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. He pointed to a spot on the deck where there was a whole bunch of barrels.

Eleanor

Um, Pirate Peggy Pants,

Sam

said Eleanor.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Yes, Eleanor?

Eleanor

These barrels seem to be moving.

Pirate Peggy Pants

I know, it be very strange. They've been moving around and if you listen carefully, they seem to be buzzing as well.

Benji

What's in 'em?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

I haven't opened any up. I've been a little bit too nervous.

Benji

Well, what are we actually going to do with them?

Pirate Peggy Pants

We will wait and see,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Benji

Uh, I might just have a quick peek,

Sam

said Benji. He opened a tiny bit of one of the barrels, and as he looked inside, all of a sudden a whole bunch of colourful dust burst out the top.

Benji

Whoa!

Sam

said Benji. And the dust started to float around in circles, almost like it was alive.

Benji

What's happening?

A Whirlwind Redecorates The Ship

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Did you let some out?

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Benji

Um, I didn't mean to,

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Ahar, well at least we know what be inside,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. While they were talking, the dust started swirling around Benji and Eleanor, and as it swirled, all of a sudden-

Benji

Whoa! We're in pirate costumes,

Sam

said Benji.

Eleanor

Yeah,

Sam

said Eleanor,

Eleanor

look!

Sam

They held up their hands, and in them were two amazing-looking swords.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Wow,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

That be incredible!

Sam

The dust continued to swing and swirl, and then it went around to the sails, and then all of a sudden, there was a giant picture of Pirate Peggy Pants' face all over the sails in the biggest, most colourful colours you have ever seen.

Eleanor

Whoa,

Sam

said Eleanor,

Eleanor

look, it's you!

Guided To The City

Pirate Peggy Pants

Ahar! I've been wanting to decorate that sail for some time. This dust seems like lots of fun. Maybe should we let some more out?

Eleanor

I dunno,

Sam

said Eleanor.

Eleanor

It could be a little risky.

Benji

I'll do it!

Sam

said Benji, as he opened the top of one of the barrels entirely. Pchewcheswooosh! The dust all came out. It went straight up into the air and then it went around the entire pirate ship. It started swirling around it like some kind of strange, colourful tornado. And as it swirled and it swirled and it swirled, Pirate Peggy Pants' ship got completely changed. It went from a normal-looking pirate ship to-

Pirate Peggy Pants

Look at this thing! It looks hilarious,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. Everything was covered in stripes and polka dots in all kinds of colours. It looked ridiculous.

Benji

Um, sorry, Peggy Pants,

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

What do you mean sorry?

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

It looks amazing! I love it! Well done, young man!

Eleanor

Really?

Sam

said Eleanor.

Eleanor

But it looks so-

Sword Buttons And Barrel Bursts

Pirate Peggy Pants

It suits me! I'm silly and I'm wild and wacky! I love that my pirate ship now looks the same. Huzzar!

Sam

yelled Pirate Peggy Pants. As they were continuing to sail, the kids realised that they still had no idea where they were going. But the pirate ship knew where they were going. It sailed down right into the middle of the city.

Eleanor

What are we doing here?

Sam

said Eleanor.

Pirate Peggy Pants

I don't know,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. The barrels started to shake and rumble.

Benji

I think I think the barrels want us to open them,

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Well, we best be doing the opening,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

But this time, instead of the normal way, maybe we should do it the fun way.

Benji & Eleanor

What?

Sam

said the kids.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Let me see those swords,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. He took the swords from the kids and he had a very close look.

Pirate Peggy Pants

It does, it does, it does,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Benji

It does what?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Look!

Sam

Pirate Peggy Pants pointed to a spot on each of their swords.

Benji

That looks like some kind of button.

Pirate Peggy Pants

It is, it is, huzzar!

Sam

yelled Pirate Peggy Pants.

Benji & Eleanor

It is what?

Sam

said the kids.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Watch this,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. He held one of the swords and pointed at one of the barrels. Then he pressed the button. Zoom! Pchew! The barrel exploded and the dust went out everywhere.

Eleanor

How did you do that?

Sam

said Eleanor.

Pirate Peggy Pants

With the button,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

You try,

Sam

he said, tossing the swords back to the kids. As he threw them into the air, the kids were worried, but these swords seemed to have a mind of their own. They flew perfectly into their hands and the kids took hold.

Benji

Um, okay,

Lifeboats That Fly Like Bikes

Sam

said Benji, as he pointed his sword towards one of the barrels. He pressed the button. Syooo-pchewwwww! The barrel exploded, and the dust was free.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Keep going!

Sam

yelled Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

We need to open them all!

Color Chaos Transforms Office Workers

Sam

he yelled. So the kids started poking their swords in the direction of the different barrels and they pressed the button again and again and again. Shoo-pchew-pchew-pchew! In no time at all, every barrel was completely exploded, and there was a giant colourful dust cloud over the top of their head. As the kids watched, it started to head off in all directions around the city.

Benji

What's it gonna do?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

We best go watch,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants.

Pirate Peggy Pants

But we'll need to be quick. Head to the lifeboats!

Benji & Eleanor

The lifeboats?

Sam

said the kids.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Hehe, yes, they're the best lifeboats that a pirate ship could ever have.

Sam

The kids raced over to the side and they found what they realised must have been what Pirate Peggy Pants was talking about. Because these lifeboats did not look like normal lifeboats. They almost looked like a cross between a boat and a motorbike.

Benji

What is this?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Jump on and see,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. So Benji jumped on one of the lifeboats. And Zhoo-zhoo-zhoo-zh-zh-zhoo-zhoom-zhoom!

Benji

Whoa!

Sam

said Benji.

Benji

It's so fast!

Pirate Peggy Pants

It is! Your turn, Eleanor!

Sam

Eleanor jumped on one as well. Zhoom-zhoo-zh-zh-zhoom!

Eleanor

Whoa, she said.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Follow the dust,

Music, Laughter, And A Street Dance

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants, as he jumped on one as well. As the kids and Pirate Peggy Pants started flying along after the dust, they could see all the funny things that it was doing. It was zooming into office buildings, and all of a sudden all the people started coming out with colourful suits, with stripes and dots and all kinds of ridiculous things. One lady even came out with a hat on her head that had over 2,000 feathers sticking up out the top.

Lady

Oh dear,

Overdrive Home And A Sparkly Return

Sam

she said. It was very funny. The dust continued to go in and out of all the different buildings. Office people were coming out of everywhere with amazing coloured suits and sparkly clothes. It was very, very fun. As they all found themselves in the middle of the street looking at each other, they first of all looked quite concerned.

Man

What has happened to my suit?

Lady

I don't know. Mine has changed as well.

Man

Oh dear, what are we going to do?

Sam

Then they looked at everyone else, and they all started to laugh. As the people started laughing, the colours started to move.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Look,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants,

Pirate Peggy Pants

it be amazing.

Sam

Then the colours from all the clothes started to combine into-

Benji

What is that?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

I don't know,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. Then it started to play music. It had joined up and made a giant speaker in the middle of town. The music started playing and everybody couldn't help but dance. It was almost like their colourful clothes were controlling them. The kids were having so much fun, they decided to dance as well. And as they were dancing, more dust started surrounding them and changed their normal pirate clothes into colourful, sparkly pirate clothes.

Benji

Look at me!

Sam

said Benji.

Eleanor

Look at me!

Sam

said Eleanor.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Hurzar!

Sam

yelled Pirate Peggy Pants. And all the people and the kids started dancing and having the most wonderful time in the centre of town.

Pirate Peggy Pants

Okay, kids, it is time for me to get ye home. So jump back aboard your lifeboats. We'll leave the ship here and we'll go home the fastest way possible. Make sure to switch your lifeboats to overdrive.

Benji & Eleanor

Overdrive?

Sam

said the kids. They jumped on their lifeboats. They could see a little switch.

Benji

Ah, are you sure?

Sam

said Benji.

Pirate Peggy Pants

As sure as I've ever been,

Sam

said Pirate Peggy Pants. So the kids flipped the switch. Pyew! And with that, they were already back home. As the kids got off their lifeboats and started to walk towards the front door in their colourful, sparkly, amazing pirate clothes, they waved to Pirate Peggy Pants who headed back home. The door opened, and their mum came out.

Mum

Whoa! Kids, where did you get those clothes from?

Benji & Eleanor

Well,

Sam

they said,

Benji & Eleanor

I don't think you'd believe us, even if we told you.

Sam

And that is the end of the story.
