Recruiting New Pirates


by pnaylala24

--------

It wasn't any ordinary day in Neopia. This was a day when the Pirates were recruiting! All over Neopia, there were Neopets who waited for today, where they can have a chance of being chosen to board a Pirate's ship and actually be a Pirate themself. The process would take a while they were told. All the prospects grabbed a form from Esara.

     My name is Esara and I am a Pirate Draik. I am here to gather up some new pirates to join in expeditions! We will hunt for treasure! We will sail the open sea! We will live a life of adventure! We will sing our song in unity that goes like this:

     "Yo Hay! Yo Hay! What will we do today! We do not know, but come what may we are a Pirate Family! So join us in this song because this is where we belong- in the open sea, where adventure awaits. A Pirate's Life for me!"

     Don't think I am accepting all! We are recruiting, the best, the strong, the unique! You must prove to us that this is your calling, to be a Pirate! or else there are some Ninjas you can play with! Pirates will always be better than Ninjas, all they can do is fight! They don't hunt for treasure! X marks the spot in that Buried treasure! We go a-hunting, more neopoints adding up daily! I hear nothing of a rich Ninja, so you must earn your spot aboard our ships!

     "Tell me what you can bring to our family! You're strengths, your ambitions, fill out this form and we will review each one! And am sure you've heard this before, look to your left, now look to you're right, you may never see those faces, for they won't make the cut! Prove to us you are a great addition to our team! Get to work! submit your forms when done. Wait here until we make our decision! And again do your best or ha! ha! those Ninjas will take anyone. Pirates are better than Ninjas any day!"

     (2 hours later) "We have made our selection. "This marked a wonderful day in Neopia where 50 pirates were chosen out of 125. We will return your forms now. If you have a big "P" in RED on your form, congratulations, you have made the cut! Sorry for the others who didn't make the cut but it's not your time, maybe next time. New Pirates, your new clothing is on the table. Put them on and let's go sailing! soon, First trip to Smuggler's Cove! Now newest recruit's let's hear you sing our song!"

     "Yo Hay! Yo Hay! What will we do today! We do not know, but come what may we are a Pirate Family! So join us in this song because this is where we belong- in the open sea, where adventure awaits. A Pirate's Life for me!"

     "That was excellent!" I am so happy to have new additions aboard our ships. We will have a life of adventure, but also responsibility, Pirates! It's not all fun and games we must keep our ships clean too, so off we go to clean first, then we can go to Smugglers Cove, or any other place you new recruits would want to go. A Pirate's life is better than a Ninja's life any day, right? But don't get too comfortable, your spot can easily be replaced, remember that! But I hope we don't have a problem, one more time, let's hear that song, new recruits!

     "Yo Hay! Yo Hay! What will we do today! We do not know, but come what may we are a Pirate Family! So join us in this song because this is where we belong- in the open sea, where adventure awaits. A Pirate's Life for me!"

     The new Pirate's cleaned the ships, top to bottom, and did a swell job! Esara saw how well they cleaned the ships, and saw the proud look on each Pirate's eyes as they helped their fellow Pirates, Esara just knew these new Pirates will make a great addition to the other Pirates. They worked so hard cleaning! They were famished, and Esara could tell, but they need not worry, a Pirate will never go hungry! Esara gathered the new Pirate's and said:

     "You did an excellent job, and I know you are ready for dinner, your shipmates are aboard our grand ship called "Hope" a great name for a ship eh? Come follow me, and let's dine and have a good time aboard our ship and get to know each other, but first let's have a feast! Pirates can eat! We will never go hungry, for we always find treasure that can pay for our feasts. Eat up and we will go for a mini sail. It's been a long day and you all need to rest! So all ye Pirates, let's sing our song!"

     "Yo Hay! Yo Hay! What will we do today! We do not know, but come what may we are a Pirate Family! So join us in this song because this is where we belong- in the open sea, where adventure awaits. A Pirate's Life for me!"

     The new Pirate's went to sleep on their assigned ship, a feeling of accomplishment with them. They are now Pirates. I am sure they will never forget the day they were chosen to be a Neopian Pirate. Each new member went to sleep and boarded "Hope" in the morning when they woke up the ship where they meet with fellow members and had breakfast. They will meet together for meals and will always have the song that they sing in unity. The one that goes :

     "Yo Hay! Yo Hay! What will we do today! We do not know, but come what may we are a Pirate Family! So join us in this song because this is where we belong- in the open sea, where adventure awaits. A Pirate's Life for me!"

     Day after day, these brave Pirates had a grand time, being a Pirate where adventures will always await, and all the Pirates agree, "Tis better than being a Ninja, any day!

     Pirates always chuckle at this infamous joke: What's a Pirate's favourite letter? Most say "R"

     but the real answer is: It's the "C" (sea) matey!

     Pirates live a life of adventure! and they are so keen at hunting for treasure so many treasures they don't know what to do with, but life as a Pirate is so grand! They will board the ship "Hope" many days to come and know that they will have "Hope" every day in those regards. That makes for some very happy pirates indeed!

     One more time Pirates, let's hear that song!

     "Yo Hay! Yo Hay! What will we do today! We do not know, but come what may we are a Pirate Family! So join us in this song because this is where we belong- in the open sea, where adventure awaits. A Pirate's Life for me!"

     Ha, none of these Pirate's will ever be a Ninja someday, no way! A Pirate's life is much better all the way!

     And got the treasures and stories to prove that!

     It was a happy time all the time aboard "Hope" for the Pirates. May the ship "Hope" inspire them to keep the life of a Pirate grand!

          The End.
