1 00:00:12,006 --> 00:00:17,312 All the monsters in the auditorium gasped. 2 00:00:17,313 --> 00:00:22,990 "What? Seriously?" Ben said. "You lost your treasure?" 3 00:00:22,991 --> 00:00:26,696 "Did you bury it somewhere?" Mog asked. 4 00:00:26,697 --> 00:00:29,931 "Of course I buried it!" Pedro said. 5 00:00:29,932 --> 00:00:33,955 "I'm a pirate. That's what we do—we bury treasure." 6 00:00:33,956 --> 00:00:37,833 "Did someone find it and dig it up?" Cleo asked. 7 00:00:37,834 --> 00:00:40,503 Pedro scratched his head. 8 00:00:40,504 --> 00:00:46,083 "I don't think so. I mean, a lot of people knew about our treasure. 9 00:00:46,084 --> 00:00:50,808 A local artist even painted a picture of the burial. 10 00:00:50,809 --> 00:00:54,465 But I have no idea what happened to the treasure chest. 11 00:00:54,466 --> 00:00:59,893 As I said earlier, I was in jail for a long time. 12 00:00:59,894 --> 00:01:04,038 By the time I got out, Monsterville had completely changed. 13 00:01:04,039 --> 00:01:08,309 There were new streets and buildings. 14 00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:11,271 I had no idea where I'd buried my loot. 15 00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:14,474 And neither did anybody from my pirate band." 16 00:01:14,475 --> 00:01:20,301 Mog looked confused. "Don't pirates usually make treasure maps?" he asked. 17 00:01:20,302 --> 00:01:22,036 "Why didn't you do that?" 18 00:01:22,037 --> 00:01:26,463 "I did make a map," Pedro replied. "But—" 19 00:01:26,464 --> 00:01:33,427 "Ah-choo!" Waldo sneezed loudly, spewing large green bugs into the air. 20 00:01:33,428 --> 00:01:36,674 Winnie swatted a few bugs away from her hair. 21 00:01:36,675 --> 00:01:40,555 "Do you still have the map, Pedro?" she asked. 22 00:01:40,556 --> 00:01:45,746 "I think somebody stole it!" another monster blurted out. 23 00:01:45,747 --> 00:01:50,749 "I don't have the map anymore." Pedro shook his head sadly. 24 00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:56,039 "I buried my treasure that day and then I went back to sea. 25 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,242 But our crew soon got into a big battle with another ship. 26 00:02:00,243 --> 00:02:04,892 Our pirate ship caught fire and . . ." Pedro gulped. 27 00:02:04,893 --> 00:02:09,356 "The treasure map burned. I tried to save it, but . . ." 28 00:02:09,357 --> 00:02:15,660 Tears streamed down his face. "It was no use." 29 00:02:15,661 --> 00:02:20,494 "Have you tried looking for the treasure in Monsterville?" Mog asked. 30 00:02:20,495 --> 00:02:28,114 Pedro nodded. Mr. Freaky handed him a handkerchief, and the pirate wiped away his tears. 31 00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:33,626 "Yes. When I got out of jail, I searched for the treasure for several years. 32 00:02:33,627 --> 00:02:37,926 But it was hopeless." He shook his head. 33 00:02:37,927 --> 00:02:41,810 "It was the best loot my merry band and I ever got. 34 00:02:41,811 --> 00:02:45,943 And all I have now are my memories." 35 00:02:45,944 --> 00:02:52,655 Mog gulped. "That's the saddest thing I ever heard!" 36 00:02:52,656 --> 00:02:59,239 "Maybe I shouldn't have buried the treasure, but I wanted to keep it safe," the pirate went on. 37 00:02:59,248 --> 00:03:02,560 Mr. Bog started mopping up puddles on the stage again. 38 00:03:02,561 --> 00:03:06,152 Mr. Freaky eyed the wet stage nervously. 39 00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:09,793 "Er, today's Career Day assembly is over, students. 40 00:03:09,794 --> 00:03:14,203 Let's thank Pedro the Pirate for his fascinating presentation." 41 00:03:14,204 --> 00:03:17,843 All around Ben, monsters started clapping. 42 00:03:17,844 --> 00:03:22,709 Mog pumped his fist in the air. "Yes, pirates!" 43 00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:28,122 Pedro bowed. "Thank you, students," he said. 44 00:03:28,123 --> 00:03:32,873 "I hope you all have your own merry bands one day. 45 00:03:32,874 --> 00:03:38,493 You can sing jolly sea songs and search for pirate treasure!" 46 00:03:38,494 --> 00:03:42,882 He waved and then bounded off the wet stage. 47 00:03:42,883 --> 00:03:45,902 Mr. Freaky leaned over the microphone. 48 00:03:45,903 --> 00:03:49,694 "That was certainly an exciting ending to this year's Career Day. 49 00:03:49,695 --> 00:03:52,836 Pedro's career is fascinating. 50 00:03:52,837 --> 00:03:58,721 Of course, being the principal at Monster Academy is just as exciting and satisfying as—" 51 00:03:58,722 --> 00:04:04,616 Goosh! Water suddenly poured down onto the stage from above, soaking Mr. Freaky. 52 00:04:04,617 --> 00:04:11,361 "Ack!" Mr. Freaky cried. His noses wiggled wildly. 53 00:04:11,362 --> 00:04:14,286 "Mr. Bog! Some towels, please!" 54 00:04:14,287 --> 00:04:20,535 Mr. Freaky took out his handkerchief and blew his noses. 55 00:04:20,536 --> 00:04:25,254 "Don't worry, students. Everything is completely under control!" 56 00:04:25,255 --> 00:04:29,031 "No, it's not," Ben said, looking at the puddles. 57 00:04:29,032 --> 00:04:32,160 Mr. Freaky began drying himself off. 58 00:04:32,161 --> 00:04:36,852 "It's lunchtime, students. Assembly dismissed!" 59 00:04:36,853 --> 00:04:39,934 Ben headed to the lunchroom with his friends. 60 00:04:39,935 --> 00:04:44,792 Along the way all the students were still talking about pirates and treasure. 61 00:04:44,793 --> 00:04:48,320 "Pedro's career sounds awesome," Mog said. 62 00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:51,692 "Much better than the dust collector's job." 63 00:04:51,693 --> 00:04:55,241 Gaby laughed. "How would you know, Mog? 64 00:04:55,242 --> 00:04:58,720 You were sleeping the whole time the dust collector talked!" 65 00:04:58,721 --> 00:05:04,641 Mog ignored her. "Can you imagine sailing the seas with a pirate crew? 66 00:05:04,642 --> 00:05:08,265 And filling a chest with gold and other loot?" 67 00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:12,204 Gaby nodded. "That would be pretty amazing. 68 00:05:12,205 --> 00:05:15,743 You could buy tons of scientific equipment, Waldo. 69 00:05:15,744 --> 00:05:19,540 I know what I'd get—new detective books." 70 00:05:19,541 --> 00:05:25,177 Winnie smiled. "I thought you might say you'd go on a dream vacation, Gaby." 71 00:05:25,178 --> 00:05:27,630 "Nope." Gaby shook her head. 72 00:05:27,631 --> 00:05:31,775 "I'm only dreaming about a library filled with mysteries." 73 00:05:31,776 --> 00:05:35,260 Mog was still going on about Pedro's treasure chest. 74 00:05:35,261 --> 00:05:40,974 "If we had all that loot, we'd all be rich—as rich as kings. 75 00:05:40,975 --> 00:05:44,596 It's too bad Pedro lost his treasure." 76 00:05:44,597 --> 00:05:48,362 Winnie suddenly halted. 77 00:05:48,363 --> 00:05:51,462 "That's it!" she said, snapping her fingers. 78 00:05:51,463 --> 00:05:54,789 Ben looked at her. "What do you mean, Winnie?" 79 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:56,609 Winnie's eyes were glowing. 80 00:05:56,610 --> 00:06:01,696 "Pedro said his treasure is lost somewhere in Monsterville," she said. 81 00:06:01,697 --> 00:06:07,091 "But it doesn't have to stay lost. Let's try to find it!"
