1 00:00:12,005 --> 00:00:22,984 The pirate skeleton clattered onto the stage, knocking over two buckets as he swung his sword. 2 00:00:22,985 --> 00:00:28,847 "Hand over all your loot, monsters!" the skeleton demanded. 3 00:00:28,848 --> 00:00:32,955 "Agh!"

Mog sat up in his seat with wide eyes. "Cool!" 17 00:01:25,298 --> 00:01:29,352 "Being a pirate isn't for everyone," Pedro went on. 18 00:01:29,353 --> 00:01:31,095 "You have to be strong. 19 00:01:31,096 --> 00:01:33,108 You have to be bold. 20 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:37,068 Most of all, you have to be brave. 21 00:01:37,069 --> 00:01:42,920 I'll never forget my first voyage as a captain of a pirate ship. 22 00:01:42,921 --> 00:01:44,919 I sailed for the king. 23 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,003 He sent my crew and me to track down the most feared pirate on the sea. 24 00:01:50,004 --> 00:01:54,711 He was called Awful Ollie the Orange." 25 00:01:54,712 --> 00:01:59,838 "Ooh! Ooh!" Mog waved his hand in the air to ask Pedro a question. 26 00:01:59,839 --> 00:02:05,492 "Was he called Ollie the Orange because his hair and beard were orange?" 27 00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:08,772 "No. His hair and beard were yellow. 28 00:02:08,773 --> 00:02:10,912 But he wore lit candles in them. 29 00:02:10,913 --> 00:02:15,135 His whole face looked like it was on fire." 30 00:02:15,136 --> 00:02:18,935 "Did you ever track down Ollie?"

Monsters cheered. "Treasure!" 37 00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:55,373 "But the king betrayed us," Pedro went on with a scowl. 38 00:02:55,374 --> 00:02:58,728 "He stole our treasure for himself." 39 00:02:58,729 --> 00:03:01,994 "That stinks," Mog said. 40 00:03:01,995 --> 00:03:07,033 Water suddenly gushed from the ceiling, and Pedro ducked out of the way. 41 00:03:07,034 --> 00:03:10,956 Mr. Bog ran up to the stage with more buckets. 42 00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:14,118 "This is ridiculous," Ben whispered to Winnie. 43 00:03:14,119 --> 00:03:17,407 "They'd better fix the leaks soon." 44 00:03:17,408 --> 00:03:21,995 "I heard Mr. Freaky talking to the office ogre before the assembly. 45 00:03:21,996 --> 00:03:24,933 Mr. Freaky said there's a budget crisis. 46 00:03:24,934 --> 00:03:28,734 So there's not enough money to fix the roof." 47 00:03:28,735 --> 00:03:31,048 Winnie looked worried. 48 00:03:31,049 --> 00:03:36,295 "Ben, what if Monster Academy has to shut down?" 49 00:03:36,296 --> 00:03:39,340 "That won't happen," Ben said. 50 00:03:39,341 --> 00:03:42,230 "I'm not so sure," Winnie said. 51 00:03:42,231 --> 00:03:46,138 "Things sound bad. I'm really worried about it." 52 00:03:46,139 --> 00:03:50,317 Meanwhile, Pedro was still telling his adventure story. 53 00:03:50,318 --> 00:03:57,318 "Eventually my band and I managed to steal the king's ship and sail away. 54 00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:01,459 We sang merry songs as we plundered the seven seas. 55 00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:09,391 And whenever we found the king's ships, we sent them to Davy Jones' locker!" 56 00:04:09,392 --> 00:04:12,981 "I got stuffed into my locker once," a blob said. 57 00:04:12,982 --> 00:04:16,891 "It was very uncomfortable." 58 00:04:16,892 --> 00:04:19,739 Waldo laughed. 59 00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:22,498 "Davy Jones' locker isn't really a locker. 60 00:04:22,499 --> 00:04:27,722 It's just an expression that means the bottom of the sea." 61 00:04:27,723 --> 00:04:31,992 "I've been to the bottom of the sea!" a fish monster cried. 62 00:04:31,993 --> 00:04:34,067 "It's awesome!" 63 00:04:34,068 --> 00:04:39,683 "On the sea we battled zombie whales and killer crabs," Pedro went on. 64 00:04:39,684 --> 00:04:44,024 "Then Awful Ollie the Orange came back as a ghost. 65 00:04:44,025 --> 00:04:50,465 We had to fight him again and again. 66 00:04:50,466 --> 00:04:59,156 When it was all over, we sang songs of our victories." 67 00:04:59,157 --> 00:05:02,688 "Finally . . ." Mog looked dreamy. 68 00:05:02,689 --> 00:05:07,778 "I've found the perfect career—pirating!" 69 00:05:07,779 --> 00:05:11,674 Everyone had lots of questions. 70 00:05:11,675 --> 00:05:16,295 "Pedro, are you still a pirate?"

The students were impressed. 84 00:05:55,563 --> 00:05:59,230 "What happened to all your treasure?" Gaby asked. 85 00:05:59,231 --> 00:06:01,017 Pedro frowned. 86 00:06:01,018 --> 00:06:06,494 "The police confiscated most of it when they locked me up. 87 00:06:06,495 --> 00:06:08,371 But they didn't get all of it. 88 00:06:08,372 --> 00:06:12,704 I managed to hide my most valuable treasure." 89 00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:15,171 "That's good," Mog said. 90 00:06:15,172 --> 00:06:17,474 "Where did you hide it?" 91 00:06:17,475 --> 00:06:19,191 Pedro hesitated. 92 00:06:19,192 --> 00:06:24,328 Then he looked sad as he shrugged. 93 00:06:24,329 --> 00:06:27,801 "I can't remember!"
