The villains use a Sporix Beast with body-swapping powers to chase pirate treasure, interrupting Amelia's attempts to make over Pop-Pop for a date.

*My POV*

"After weeks of digging, we found a treasure chest, believed to have once belonged to the legendary pirate, PurpleBeard. And now it's heading to its new home-- Pine Ridge Museum." Dr. Akana said for the news report.

"Thanks, Dr. Akana. With me now is the museum's new curator, Beatrice Cotton." J-Borg said. "Thanks for having me." Beatrice said. I was standing in the office with Jane as Amelia was operating the controls. 

"What an exciting find!" J-Borg said. "Oh, yes. Well, PurpleBeard's very famous in this city, especially for his powerful and mysterious talismans." Beatrice explained. "Ooh." J-Borg said. "Mm." Beatrice said.

"Ask her if they're in the chest." Amelia said through the microphone. "Oh, could they be in the chest?" J-Borg asked as she heard Amelia. "Oh, perhaps. We'll find out very soon when we open it for the first time." Beatrice said. 

"Ask her if the chest has an ancient pirate's curse." Amelia said, but Jane stopped her. "For goodness' sake, just wrap it up, J-Borg!" Jane said. "So, the legend of PurpleBeard's talismans lives on, for now. Thank you, Beatrice." J-Borg said.

"Well, anything for your audience. And we hope you visit us soon. And remember, we run on donations." Beatrice said. "And cut." Amelia said and I sighed. "Thanks, Ms. Cotton." J-Borg said shaking her hand.

"Well, thank you. It was a really fun interview." Beatrice said. "Sure was. I was listening from back there. Riveting stuff." Pop-Pop said as he chuckles. "Whoa!" A female voice said as she tripped. "Look out!" Pop-Pop said as he pulled Beatrice out of the way from getting hit. 

Beatrice looked up at him as they were in a somewhat dipping position. "That was close." Beatrice said softly to Pop-Pop. "Oh my. Sorry, ma'am. Are you okay?" The woman asked. "I'm fine, thanks to this gentleman." Beatrice said.

"Um, Ed Jones. Nice to meet ya." Pop-Pop said softly. "Very nice indeed." Beatrice said chuckling as Pop-Pop cleared his throat. "Oh, I, uh... I love your museum. In fact, let me make a little donation." Pop-Pop said.

"Oh. How kind of you." Beatrice said chuckling. "Uh, so, um... uh, being a, a curator must be very interesting." Pop-Pop said. "It is. But, you know, I've spent so long looking up at dinosaur bones, I discovered a new species. The 'My-neck-is-saur'." Beatrice said pointing to her neck.

"Oh!" Pop-Pop said getting it. "Well, um, uh, on my last visit, I asked the guard if I could take a picture, but he said um, *clears throat* they had to stay on the walls." Pop-Pop said causing both of them to laugh. Amelia and I were smiling as we saw and we watched.

"Ed, forgive me for being so forward, but would you like to have lunch with me?" Beatrice asked. "What? Like a date?" Pop-Pop asked. "Yes." Beatrice asked and Amelia squealed a little, but I covered her mouth.

"Shall I meet you in Albert Park, in, say, three hours?" Beatrice asked. "Sure. Yeah, I'd love to." Pop-Pop said. "Perfect. See you then, Ed!" Beatrice said walking off happily. "Thanks, Jane." Beatrice said to Jane.

Amelia and I went over to Pop-Pop. "I heard everything. This wasn't on any of your horoscopes. Amazing!" Amelia said. "Yes, it is. She's very nice. But I haven't been on a date in years-- decades--and now I'm having one in three hours. I don't know what to wear. I don't know what to say. I need help." Pop-Pop said. "Say no more, Pop-Pop. I got this!" Amelia said and I really doubted this.

*3rd POV*

"PurpleBeard's very famous in this city, especially for his powerful and mysterious talismans." Beatrices voice said over the monitors that Void Knight was watching. "Hm. If those talismans are in that chest, then their power could energize my machine." Void Knight said before sitting down.
