It was a dark and stormy night on Club Penguin Island, like it has been for the past week. Paranormal and slimey activity was high, and it was intern recruitment season. With lots of scientific data to be gathered about unusual substances on the Island and peculiar weather patterns, Gary’s Lab hired a new intern to lend a helping hand. It was almost time for Gary’s annual intern rap battle. To help prepare, his latest intern headed down to the Snowmelt Shop for a mug of cocoa while practising.
Be careful where you leave your mug…
The promising scientist had to leave to get changed into a sparkly suit made for him by Dot the Design Gal, but like any busy laboratory, there was no place to leave a mug of cocoa unattended. Being new to the science business, Gary’s new intern left their mug of hot cocoa in a pile of slime. Unbeknownst to them was the havoc they were about to unleash on the Island…
Suddenly, the mug started to fizz, whizz and pop as the cocoa inside melted a hole through the mug. The Snowmelt Shop has a very limited budget for mugs. The slime and dissolved choklidium reacted ferociously, as foretold in the Island Codex, and the mug started to grow until it came to life! After living a life hanging on a hook in the Snowmelt Shop, the mug sought revenge on the Island.
Purely out of coincidence, a wicked witch happened to be walking by on Mount Blizzard. After living in a cave for the past ten years, she had finally perfected her spell to transform every penguin on the Island into a frog! Only three simple ingredients were needed: flour flowers; a strand of Cadence’s hair; and a fragment of a puffle egg’s shell. She had finally found the perfect cauldron she needed, and the best part is… it would find ingredients for her!
Aunt Arctic’s secret hobby…
After changing into their suit ready for the rap battle, the scientist received a message on their CPI Phone from Gary. Aunt Arctic, the Island Director, had apparently heard about what happened, and requested to see the intern immediately. Not many penguins know this, but Aunt Arctic is also a part-time witch. She knows every evil spell, and every good spell to reverse them. After a light flick through her spellbook, the Director found the spell we needed.
To stop a spheniscidae transforming to a salientian, use the juice of a pineapple, the flesh of a pumpkin and a single crumb from a stinky cheesecake, and your problems will come to a halt.
Magic likes to use large and complex words, however this spell has a simple meaning: form a fruit squad to stop the witch. The intern rushed back to Gary’s Mount Blizzard lab and recruited fresh produce from the Welcome Market to help.
There was no time to lose. The witch’s cauldron, formerly an innocent mug of cocoa, had already reached Island Central. Just as the fruit squad arrives, the mug was caught guilty in the act of trying to trick DJ Cadence to turn around. It was time for a showdown…
Pineapple: Stop right there! Leave DJ Cadence alone.
Mug: A pineapple?! HA! You’ll need more than just that to defeat me.
Stinky Cheesecake: Oh really? It’s over, Mug Man.
Mug: Uh oh… FINE. Let’s battle it out like real ninjas. If you lose, you will be fed to Trapper Plants!
Pumpkin: Ooh! Do we get to play Card-Jitsu?
Mug: No. But we do have Ink or Swim.
One intense Mug VS. Fruit round of Ink or Swim later…
Our fruit heroes have saved the day. After winning Ink or Swim, the fruits leapt into the mug and it faded out of existence… because it got banned for trying to be evil. You’re probably wondering what happened to the witch. She dabbed and flew away on a broomstick back to her cave before a moderator could catch her. Hopefully the witch won’t be bothering the Island again any time soon.
Ready for the rap battle…
Saving the Island was a tough task, but nothing’s more difficult than rivalling Gary the Gadget Guy’s rapping skills. The judges, better known as a FaceTime call with Gary’s prehistoric puffle Darwin, had decided their winner… the intern won! To celebrate, the intern and Gary enjoyed a sip of success (Seaweed Smoothies) – they weren’t ever going to try the Island’s cocoa again after that incident. And they all lived happily ever after.
What the intern and Gary don’t know is that during the Halloween Party, Seaweed Smoothies are actually made of SLIME. What consequences will this have on the Island? Will the slimy ghosts of Island Central control Gary the Gadget Guy? Will we ever find out? Stay tuned…
Thank you for reading my latest story, penguin family! Until next time…
Really good post! The humor in it was amazing and it was very well done. That witch sure does know how to dab!
Thank you, Agent blue0! Maybe she will return next year with a potion to cause every penguin on the Island to dab at the same time… now that would be a frightening storyline.
