Pirate Party Idea: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates Ch. 11

August 7th, 2007

pirate-11.jpgIn today’s pirate party idea blog, Petey is on his way to find a boar he doesn’t even know exists. It’s either find the boar or get eaten himself. Check back at the pirate party idea blog often for updates on Petey, Captain Wellington, Guy and the whole Parrot Pirate Gang!

“Whew!” Petey sighed. “I’m not used to flying so much. I’d much rather be sitting on someone’s shoulder!” Petey was getting nervous. It had been an hour now and he saw no sign of any boar or deer for that matter. Why didn’t these pirates just learn how to fish? He wouldn’t be able to get away from the pirates because there wasn’t another island in sight. Besides, he was not such a good flyer. He was fatter than most birds and tended to get tired quickly. He just wanted this to be over. He had done what the witch had asked him and had led Guy to the treasure, but the idiot didn’t realize the true value of what he had found. Now he was stuck with him. Ugghh! From below he could hear the calls from Captain Wellington. “Petey, you better find that boar soon or it’s gonna be roast duck for dinner tonight! Yikes, Petey thought. I better find a boar soon.

pirate-10.jpgToday I will be including the next installment of Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates in the pirate party idea blog. Keep track as Petey, Captain Wellington and Guy navigate the dangerous seas of the Caribbean.

Petey was upset! He had been sent here to meet Guy and now he has gotten himself mixed up with a bunch of pirates. Now he was going to have to lead them to a boar and he had no idea where to find one. He wasn’t even sure he had seen one on this island before. He should have never made that deal with the witch. He knew she was trouble from the moment he saw her there in that filthy hut. She had kidnapped him while he was resting on a palm leaf. She had told him that if he ever wanted to be free, he would have to find some pirate named Guy and lead him to the treasure of the island. He had no idea why, but he was more concerned with his freedom than he was this weird looking pirate. Perhaps he should have refused and at least enjoyed the safety of the old witches hut. Well, Petey thought, “I better see if I can find myself a boar.”

“Squawk!” Petey screamed. “I don’t want to be eaten, Squawk!” The pirates were speechless at the sight of this bird perched on Guy’s shoulder. “Aye, so ya can talk, can ya?!” Wellington said. “Well exactly why shouldn’t we eat ya anyways?’ “Wouldn’t you like something with a little more meat?” Petey asked. “I’m a small bird & wouldn’t even fill your stomach. Why not get a deer or a boar?” “I’d like to have me some pork, but unless you know any boars who can talk, I’m afraid your outta luck.” Wellington warned. “Squawk! I know where the boar is … I know where the boar is!” Petey pleaded. “I’ll take ya to him only if you promise to let me live …. Squawk!” “All right then. You show us where to get ourselves a boar & I’ll think about lettin ya live.” Wellington said. Petey was visibly trembling when he said “lets go!”

Captain Wellington had lost track of time as he starred at his beautiful ship, the Rita. He came to attention quickly when he heard the ruckus coming from some of the men. “What you got there Guy?” “How’d ya get that bird to sit on your shoulder?” “Stand back … stand back!” Guy snorted. “This here’s my friend Petey. He’s my pet & you ain’t allowed to eat em. I know you is hungry, but Petey is off limits! You got that?” A voice boomed over by the ship, “not if I have anything to say about it” Wellington belched. “We ain’t had nothing to eat in 3 days, so anything is on the menu.” Petey squawked, & Guy told him not to worry. “No skipper, I have a particularly good reason why we shouldn’t eat the bird ….. you see ….. Petey here can talk.” The group fell silent & all looked amazingly at the parrot.

Captain Wellington was lost in thought as he waited for Guy to return from his search for water. He was staring at the Rita. Aye, what a beautiful ship she was. She was made of the finest timbers of Russia and was first put to the water in the Black Sea. It had taken him a lot of money and time to procure her, but now she was his. He was saddened as he looked at his beautiful ship because there was a large hole in the hull. He could repair her and felt compelled to do so. She had kept him from harms way so many times that he couldn’t recall. There were the fierce hurricanes that she pushed through and the countless engagements with the East India Company. She had never gotten the worse of either of them, and even with a hole in the hull, she was able to take the men to safety. Wellington couldn’t stand to see her suffer. He felt like he loved the ship as a wife. Wellington’s reminiscing didn’t last. He heard commotion coming from the camp and turned to see shipmate Guy walking up with a parrot on his shoulder.

Pirate Party Idea: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates Ch. 6

parrot3.jpgThis is the sixth installment of the pirate party idea blog: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates. Come back to the pirate party idea blog often to get updates on this adventure.

Guy knew there was no way he was going to get the treasure out of the cave by himself, and he certainly couldn’t enlist the help of his new friend Petey. Besides, the Rita was a long way off from being repaired, that is if they could actually do the repairs. He decided to head back and show the crew his amazing new bird. Petey walked beside Guy for a while, but then grew tired. Guy was getting tired of having to wait for the bird, so he finally reached down and picked him up. He set him on his shoulder and continued to trek back to the camp. Apparently Petey was very pleased with this. He started to whistle old pirate tunes while swaying back and forth on Guy’s shoulder. It was a bizarre scene. As they approached the camp, Guy looked up at Petey and said “Remember our deal Petey. You ain’t gonna say nothin to the crew about the treasure, right? If you did, I’d have to roast you up and eat you like a chicken!” At this Petey trembled a bit, then replied, “Aye aye Guy. Mums the word for Petey.”

As Guy turned around, he could swear he was hearing the parrot talk, but could he really believe what he was seeing? Maybe one of his shipmates was playing a prank on him and it was time to put a stop to it. He made his way back to the top of the cave only to see that the bird did not move. It hadn’t even flinched. He got just inches from it, and it squawked again, “Guy found the treasure.” He was stunned. How is it that an animal could talk? He had never heard of such a thing. Additionally, how did this parrot know his name? “Hey there buddy, how do you know my name?” The parrot looked away, then back up at Guy and said “Petey has been watchin Guy.” “Petey wants to be a pirate …. Squawk!” Guy considered this for a moment and looked back at Petey. “OK Petey, I’ll let you become a pirate, but you have to promise one thing. You can’t tell anyone else about the treasure!” Petey responded, “Your secrets safe with me Guy. Petey is a pirate! Petey is a pirate!”

pirate-parrot.jpgThis is the fourth installment of the pirate party idea blog: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates. Check here often for updates to this quest! Arrgghh!

As Guy opened the chest, he thought his eyes had deceived him. He could not believe what he was staring at. He had grown up so poor and life as a pirate had not been as lucrative as he would have liked. He refused to get into the slave trade like those scallywags, the East India Trading Company. Now his fortunes had finally changed. He was sent by captain Wellington to find water but instead he had found a treasure. He could see gold coins on the top and jewels embedded here and there throughout the chest. He closed the lid and tried to pick it up, but alas, it was too heavy. How would he get this back? He pondered about whether he should tell the captain and crew, but for the moment, decided to keep his mouth shut. He reopened the chest and began to dig in when he heard a voice behind him. “Guy found the chest! Guy found the chest!” In panic, Guy turned to see the source of the voice, but could not find anyone, only a small parrot at the edge of the cave. He turned back around and heard the voice begin, but this time he discovered its source. It was the parrot!

Pirate Party Idea: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates Ch. 3

July 12th, 2007

pirate-parrot2.jpgThis is the third installment of the pirate party idea blog. Enjoy the story of Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates and check back often at the pirate party blog for updates.

As Guy entered the cave he heard the faint a faint rustling. The cave was dark and damp, but there was enough light to explore. He took a few steps forward and dropped his musket. “Arrgg, that hurt!” The next thing he knew, Guy was surrounded by a cloud, a black cloud. The wind was whipping up and the cloud had a terrible shrieking noise. “Bats …. Bats!” Guy started to run but tripped. The bats seemed to be bent on getting out of the cave, but why? Guy covered his head and fearfully waited out all the bats. Finally, the cave was clear and he stood up to figure out where he was. There, in the corner, was the faint reflection of light.

He carefully walked toward it, being careful not to trip again. As he reached the source of the light, he realized it was a reflection of the light outside. He squinted his eyes and carefully approached the object. “What could it be?’ he wondered. And then he saw it. It was a sword, and not just a basic cutlass. This one was encrusted with jewels. Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. It was still very dark and he could only see the reflection from the gold and jewels of the sword. As he reached for it, his hand bumped into something wooden. He felt around the object with his hands until he suddenly realized what it really was. “A chest” he exclaimed! He fumbled around for the hinges and tried to open it. “No luck!” There, on the ground, something metal. A key! Guy nervously took the key in his hand and guided it to the keyhole. He slowly turned the lock. “Click.” It was open! He carefully opened the chest. “Of all the treasures of the sea! I can’t believe it.”

Come back to the pirate party idea blog soon to find out what Guy found inside the amazing treasure chest!!!
