::Dale
had left the theater on a snack binge, and truly there were no shortages of
food vendors on the Wonder. He was halfway through a fresh-baked chocolate chip
cookie when the elevator doors opened nearby and a tall, thin rat got out::[/color]
[color=#FF0022]Dale:
Hey, that's a good costume for the Pirate Night. Wait a minute, he looks
familiar...[/color]
[color=#800000]
::Dale
walked over, just in time to hear a graveled voice call out. "Stormy,
there here ain't our floor!" and the rat who had
just seen Dale waved goodbye as another rat pulled him back onto the elevator
and the doors closed::[/color]
[color=#FF0022]Dale:
Stormy? That was the Pi-Rats! I wonder where they're going.[/color]
[color=#800000]::Dale
watched as the elevator went all the way up to Deck 11::[/color]
[color=#FF0022]Dale:
Maybe they're lost or something. Well, it's a while yet till they get going
again in the theater. Time for this Rescue Ranger to do his good deed for the
day![/color]
[color=#800000]::Dale
spied a group of humans dressed up as pirates who were headed for the
elevators. He followed at a safe distance, then
hustled aboard with them. He'd planned to wait until they got off then ride the
elevator to the top, but like the Pi-Rats these men were headed to Deck 11 as
well. As he listened to them, the fur on his back stood up::[/color]
[color=#804080]Pirate1:
Now, when we get to the bridge, we've gotta move
fast. Once we're out of the Cay, we'll take her straight east.[/color]
[color=#00BF80]Pirate2:
You mean, through the Triangle?[/color]
[color=#804080]Pirate1:
Of course, it's the shortest way. Besides, where better to lose the authorities?[/color]
[color=#00BF80]Pirate2:
I don't know, Davy. Lots of weird things happen in there.[/color]
[color=#800000]::The pirates
continued to argue, while Dale brought out the length of tinfoil he'd been
saving and wrapped another layer around his hat::[/color]
[color=#FF0022]Dale
(whispering): Now those aliens won't be able to read my thoughts for sure. But
somebody's gotta stop this bunch from taking the
ship! Looks like it's up to
[color=#800000]::The
elevator doors opened and Dale scooted to a good hiding place while the pirates
headed for the bridge. Dale followed, taking advantage of the bridge's open
door to enter as they did. Once inside, he marveled at the rows and banks of
computers that made navigating the Wonder an easy task::[/color]
[color=#FF0022]
Dale: Wow, look at all those
buttons to push. I wonder what—[/color]
[color=#800000]::A
hand clasped over Dale's mouth::[/color]

[color=#800000]::Dale
did so and saw the ship's crew with their hands up. The pirates took over the
crew's stations and in a few moments the Wonder weighed anchor and started
forward::[/color]
[color=#FF0022]Dale: Who would be so low down as to steal a Disney
ship! [/color]
[color=#0000FF]Stormy
(embarrassed): Uh, well, you see..[/color]
[color=#0000BF]Jolly
Roger (covering): Oh, aye! We have to stop them, you need ta get yer friends over here and
get these pirates out of the control room and save the day![/color]
[color=#FF0022]
Dale: I'll be right back![/color]
[color=#800000]::As
Dale scrambled toward the door, which fortunately hadn't closed entirely, he
left in a rush. Jolly
[color=#0000BF]Jolly
[color=#0000FF]
Stormy: What'll we do, Cap'n?[/color]
[color=#0000BF]Jolly
[color=#808000]Young
Ned: Aye... we'll show that blasted King
George who's not afraid of him... or the French or Spanish navies![/color]
