Ahh!

A whole week in Rocky Bay!

I can't wait to get started.

All set for a day at the beach,

Dad?

Almost, Son.

Beach umbrella, deck chairs,

Gardener's Monthly, potato

spade.

Potato spade?

In case we go fishing, dear.

We'll need to dig for bait.

Yes.

Well, I think that's everything,

then.

It certainly looks like

everything.

All that's missing is a

wheelbarrow to carry at all.

Uh... it's funny you should

say that.

(Knocking)

I'll get it!

Hello?

(Laughing)

Be careful, dear.

That load looks very top-heavy.

Don't worry.

The trick is not to make any

sudden--

Hard left, Dad!

Hard left!

Ah!

Whoa!

Frightfully sorry.

Are you all right?

I hope I haven't--

What is a wheelbarrow doing

on the--

Cedric?

Well, well.

Look what the tide washed in,

Lily.

Isn't this a pleasant

surprise?

Hello, Mr. Pig.

Is Podgy with you?

He certainly is, Rupert, and

he'll be happy to see you.

He's been moping around all

morning.

Podgy!

Rupert?

Rupert, it is you!

What luck!

I didn't know you and your

parents are coming to Rocky Bay

too.

Yeah.

We're here for a whole week.

Fantastic!

We've got a whole week of fun

ahead of us.

Maybe you do, Rupert, but

I've got a whole week of misery

ahead of me.

What's the matter?

My cousin Rosalie is on

holiday with us.

Oh, come on, Podgy.

It can't be all that bad.

Podgy!

Hello, Rupert.

Pleased to meet you, Rosalie.

What are you doing down here,

Podgy?

Aunt Lily made you promise to

play with me after breakfast.

But I didn't say how long

after breakfast.

I was thinking a couple of years

would be about right.

(Giggling)

Why don't we build a sand

castle?

Don't be silly, Rupert.

I'd get sand all over my nice,

clean dress.


We can go for a swim.

Oh, the water's too cold for

that.

Besides, you get all wrinkly.

(Sighing)

That's the problem with Rocky

BayThere's simply nothing to

do.

There's a thousand things to

do, Rosalie.

Don't waste your breath,

Rupert.

She doesn't know how to have

fun.

I do so!

You just never want to do the

things I want to.

That's because everything you

want to do is boring!

We can take turns, Rosalie.

First, you help Podgy and me

build a sand castle and then

we'll do whatever you want to.

Okay.

After we build your silly

castle, we can go back to the

hotel and read some poetry.

Poetry!

It looks all lopsided.

It's not finished yet!

Why are you making it so

plain-looking?

Shouldn't it have some curtains

on the windows or something?

Curtains?

That's a good idea, Rosalie.

You could find some decorations

for the castle.

Well, I suppose I could.

It certainly needs something.

Some shells or a feather or two

would finish it off nicely.

A spotted starfish!

Spotted starfish?

It won't be complete without

a spotted starfish.

I'll put it right on top.

Then and only then will I call

it finished.

Okay, I'll be back in a

moment.

Well, Rupert, I'm finally

starting to enjoy my holiday!

(Laughing)

That's the Podgy I know!

And now that we've got Rosalie

to join in, we'll all have fun.

Ah....

This is the life.

ROSALIEI've seen a spotted

crab, spotted birds, a spotted

rock, but no spotted starfish.

What's that?

A fish?

Eek!

A lizard!

Wait!

Get...this...thing off!

It's too tight!

Help!

Oh, you poor thing!

Normally I'd never touch a slimy

old lizard but you look more

like an amphibian so I suppose I

could help.

How did you...

get it on...

so tight?

Ah!

All right, I'll twist it off

like a pickle-jar lid.

Ack!

No!

Stop squirming, you'll only

make it worse!

Wait a minute!

What's this?

Oh!

Ooh.

Thank you!

I definitely owe you a favour.

What's your name?

My name is Rosalina Georgina

Catrina Pig, but you may call me

Rosalie.

What's yours?

His Exalted Royal Majesty,

King Neptune VIII.

You're a king?

Well, that's who I was


pretending to be before my crown

slipped over my head.

It's really just a bracelet.

(Giggling)

I dress up all the time and

pretend I'm queen of a

marvellous castle.

It's great fun, isn't it?

Oh, yes!

Only my jewels are just pretend!

This looks like it's real!

Oh, that's nothing!

I know a secret place where

there's tons of jewels and

treasure!

I can show you where it is.

I'd love to go!

Oh, I forgot about something.

I'm supposed to be playing with

my cousin Podgy.

He could come, too!

And his friend Rupert?

The more the merrier.

We'll have lots of fun!

Rosalie has been gone for

ages.

I think you should go and see

where she is, Podgy.

She's probably still looking

for a spotted starfish.

(Giggling)

You know, now that you

mention it, I've never heard of

spotted starfish before.

That's because there's no

such thing!

I just made it up!

(Laughing)

Podgy!

That's--

I know, pure genius!

Rosalie's so stubborn, she'll

spend the entire week looking

for that starfish!

Hey!

I was going to take you to

see a special surprise, but not

anymore, Mr. Smartypants!

You should go and apologize,

Podgy.

Rosalie is very upset.

Let's enjoy these moments of

peace and quiet while we can.

She'll be back in ten minutes.

I'm going to catch up with

her, see if I can smooth things

out.

When we come back, please try

and get along!

She's impossible, Rupert!

That Podgy is impossible!

Yoohoo, King Neptune!

Hello, Rosalie.

Where are your friends?

They decided not to come.

Oh, that's too bad.

Yes, it is.

They'll be the ones who are

going to miss out on the fun

this time!

Oh well, I'm all ready.

Hop in!

Isn't the treasure in Rocky

Bay?

No, it's on an island.

But it's not far.

Hm...

All right, but you'd better go

slowly because I get sea-sick

easily.

Whoa!

I think Podgy and Rosalie

don't get along because they're

so alike.

(Laughing)

But I wouldn't want to tell

Podgy that!

What?

It looks like she went into the

water!

It isn't like her to--

There she is!

That big shell must be the

surprise she mentioned.

Rosalie!

Don't pay any attention.

Humph!

They'll be sorry when I come

back dripping in gold and

jewels.


She can't hear me!

The tide has carried her too far

from shore!

PODGYLeave it to Rosalie to

get into some wild predicament

just to get attention.

Podgy!

She might be in serious trouble!

And that means you're in

trouble!

Me?

It's not my fault!

Oh, no?

She wouldn't have gone off by

herself if you hadn't hurt her

feelings with your spotted

starfish joke.

Oh my gosh!

You're right, Rupert!

Quick, we've got to think of

something!

I know, we'll tell my parents

she was shanghaied by pirates--

No, no, no, Podgy!

We've got to go and rescue her!

ROSALIEI can't even see

Rocky Bay anymore.

How much farther is it?

We're almost there, Rosalie.

She's heading for that

island.

This is brilliant!

How did you know this would

work?

I didn't know.

There weren't any boats, so I

just had to make do with what I

could find.

ROSALIEAt last!

I'll be glad to get my feet on

dry land again!

This last stretch isn't

exactly on dry land.

Wait!

I don't like swimming!

I'll get all wrinkly!

(Gasping)

Why does the wind have to

stop when we were going so

nicely?

That's odd.

I'm sure I put in a board that

we could use as a paddle.

Oh...

I threw it out to make room for

this.

Now what are we going to do?

Well, I'd say we can rule out

swimming!



ROSALIELook at me!

I'm a mess!

I'm sorry, Rosalie, but this

is the only way to sneak in

unnoticed!

It's my secret entrance.

Where are you going?

And why do we have to be

unnoticed?

Podgy, why don't you throw

your lunch overboard?

Maybe all he wants is a snack.

Are you crazy?

What will I eat, then?

It's either your lunch or

we'll be lunch!

Just one sandwich, then.

(Both yelling)

Mm!

Now that was a tasty

whatever-it-is!

You're a dolphin!

Thought I was a hungry shark,

didn't you?

That's a pretty sneaky way to

get a peanut-butter-and-jam

sandwich!

It's an old trick, but it

works like a charm!

Do you think you could help

us?

We have to get to that island.

Oh, no.

I can't take you there!

That island is strictly

off-limits.

This is probably some sort of

trick to get my chocolate cake.

Did you say chocolate cake?

I knew it!




Well, good luck.

And if you get caught, don't

mention me.

He certainly left in a hurry.

What did he mean, "if we get

caught"?

I don't know, but something

tells me we'd better be ready to

leave in a hurry, too.

Maybe we should get going

now.

Podgy!

We're here to find Rosalie,

remember?

(Gasping)

There she is!

Rosalie!

Huh?

I just stopped to rest for a

minute!

But I'll leave right away.

Wait!

Where did you get this?

I found it!

Honest.

But you can have it!

Just let me leave!

Please?

Of course you can leave!

The bonnet belongs to someone

we're looking for, that's all.

And as soon as we find her,

we're getting out of here, too.

Do you want me to show you

where I found the stuff?

Yes, please!

Follow me!

It's down here.

Maybe I should stay behind

and guard the boat.

One, two--

Yahhh!



(Gasping)

This is where I found the hat

and umbrella.

Are you sure you didn't see

anyone?

If I had, I would have

skedaddled!

Which is what I'm going to do

right now!

Good luck!

Wait!

I wanted to ask--

What is it about this island

that makes everyone so nervous?

I hope we don't have to find

out!

Look, there's Rosalie's

footprints!

What kind of footprints are

these?

Hmm... those are different,

aren't they?

Whatever it is, Rosalie followed

it into that tunnel.

(Gulping)

Rupert, why does she do

these things to me?

There's a light coming from

this pool.

I think it's the only way out.

Anything's better than going

back the way we came.

(Gasping)

Wow!

Rupert, am I dreaming?

Even dreams aren't this

fantastic.

This must be why the island is

out of bounds.

Seize the intruder!

I am His Exalted Royal Majesty,

King Neptune VIII, and I say the

intruder is to be locked up in

the dungeons!

And I am Queen Rosalina

Georgina Catrina, and I say

anyone who comes to my kingdom

and doesn't treat me nicely will

lose their head!

But since I'm so wonderful, I'll

spare your worthless head for a

spotted starfish.

Now go and find one!

(Laughing)

I have a hunch she's

pretending that statue is you,


Podgy.

This is great fun.

I wish Rupert and Podgy had

come.

Yes, they could be the palace

guards!

Oh, they'd probably think

that was boring.

Podgy never wants to do the

things I like to do.

Doesn't he know how to have fun?

RUPERTHello, Queen Rosalie!

Rupert!

Podgy!

What are you doing here?

We thought we were rescuing

you!

You came to rescue me?

Are these your friends,

Rosalie?

Yes, they are!

I'm Rupert.

Is all this treasure yours?

Don't be silly.

It all belongs to King Neptune.

You mean this is King

Neptune's treasury?

That's right.

There's treasure here from every

sunken ship in the seven seas!

But how did you find us?

No one is supposed to know about

this place.

We followed your footprints.

Uh-oh!

I forgot to cover our tracks!

We'll get into big trouble if

anyone finds us in here!

I don't like the sound of

that, Rupert.

Let's get out of here right

away!

Oh, no!

I'm not going back that way.

Uh, yeah!

Isn't there another way out?

We don't want Rosalie to get all

wrinkly, Rupert.

Well, some things in this

cave are too big to have come

through the secret entrance.

There must be another way in...

probably through one of those

passages.

But which one?

I say we take...

that one.

Are you sure?

I would have picked that one.

Yeah, and if I'd picked that

one, you would have said that

one over there!

You never do anything I want

to!

All right, Rosalie, lead the

way.

This is a nice tunnel you've

picked, Rosalie.

Ouch!

I hope you brought a shoe-horn

so we can go the rest of the

way!

Some of us are leaders,

Podgy, and others are--

Oh no!

I just tore my skirt on this

handle.

Really?

Let's see it.

It's right along the hem, so

I think it can be mended.

No, not that.

I want to see the handle!

Well!

Perhaps you've found a way

out after all, Rosalie.

All right, now let's play!

Rosalie?

Rosalie?

Where'd you go?

Whoa!

Where are we?

It looks like we're back to

the guessing game again.

ALLWhoa!

Uh-oh!

I think we're in the guard's

bedroom!

(Gasping)

(Screaming)


Run for it!

We've got to stick together.

Come on!

Let's take this one.

(Roaring)

Rupert?

Where could they have gone?

We're back where we started!

(Roaring)

Hurry!

Let's hide!

(Roaring)

So much for going back out the

secret entrance.

Look!

That might be a way out.

PODGYIt's just a crack,

Rupert.

We'll never fit through there!

Humph!

Maybe you won't, Podgy.

I think I know a way we can

make it big enough for all of

us.

I hope this still works.

Bull's-eye!

(Roaring)

Let's get out of here!

Whoa!

There you are!

Where are you going?

Oh, no!

Rosalie, where are you--

(Gasping)

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

I promise.

You put my friend down this

instant, you big bully!

Run, Rosalie!

Are these friends of yours,

Son?

Yes, Mum.

Son?

Mum?

I'm sorry if I frightened

you, but I was under the

impression you were robbers.

We were just playing.

Now, Son, what have I told

you about playing in the

treasury?

The treasury is not a

playroom.

I'm sorry.

And now I've got this big

hole to repair.

Um... that was my fault.

Boys are so rowdy!

I'm sorry I got you in trouble.

I'm glad my son has such a

true friend.

It was very brave of you to come

back to rescue him.

It really was brave, Rosalie.

I'm... well, proud of you!

Thank you, Podgy.

But after all, you did the same

for me.

Does the island have to be

forbidden even to my friends?

Guarding King Neptune's

treasure is a big

responsibility.

We have to keep it a secret,

don't we?

Yes, Mum.

I know!

Why don't you come to Rocky Bay

with us?

We're going to be there a

whole week.

Yeah.

We could have all sorts of fun.

You like building sand castles?

Oh, yes!

And Rosalie can be the queen of

the castle!

That would be fun!

May I go, Mum?

I think you'll be in good

company for the week.

How would you like to go back to

Rocky Bay in a manner befitting

a real queen?

Captain Podgy, set sail for

my castle!

Aye aye, Queen Rosalie!

I think the rest of the week

is going to be smooth sailing.


What do you want to do when

we get back to Rocky Bay,

Rosalie?

I think it would be fun to

finish our sand castle.

Great!

And I'll need you to find me

some turtle feathers to finish

it off.

Turtle feathers?
