Ever after high Briar's tale

Chapter 9

Tenacity must have lost the draw. It was always more fun to be a pirate.
Three identical brothers shouted up to Tenacity: "We'll get you yet, Peter Pan!"
"How dare ye attack the good ship Jolly Roger!" "We'll make Peter Pan pie out of ye!"
"Hey!" said Briar.
The triplets startled, staring at her with their un- covered brown eyes.
"The hay wagon?" she said. "And the sheets? And the music master's robes? Not to mention my jewelry!" She pointed to a recently uprooted rose- bush. She would bet her new black satin wedges that these little pirates had buried her jewelry there. "You little thieves! How could you? You know I leave for Ever After High tomorrow."
The boys nodded. They did know. And they didn't seem happy about it.
"Sorry, Briar," they said in unison.
Courage was holding the pirate flag, but he let it droop. Gallantry's lower lip trembled. Tenacity climbed down from the statue, getting his feet wet. Honor, the littlest one, sniffed. Aw . . . They were as cute as a nest of summer-brown bunnies. Briar couldn't stay mad.
"Dig up my treasure, you pirates," she said, "or I'll have you walk the plank into crocodile-infested waters and show no mercy!"
"Yes, Briar," they said, starting to smile.
"That's Captain Hook to you, laddies!"
"Yes, Captain Hook!" the boys shouted, eyes
bright.
"Now dig, ye scurvy grubs!" she said, tying one
of the black strips over her own hair. "As soon as your captain has her treasure, we're off to invade the kitchens!"
The boys raised their wooden swords and gave her a hearty cheer.
Briar still had a lot of outfit planning and packing to do, but there was always time for a quick pirate party.
THE END!!!
