S2 E11: Pups Save A Merpup! Into the Ocean!

February 16th, 2030

Ben, Ryder, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Skye, Rubble, and Marshall sat around a campfire on the beach with Captain Turbot, eating some sausages. Alex, Tuck, and Ella had stayed behind to help Wild take care of his mom, who was getting sicker and sicker by the day. The pups were eating some liver flavored sausages. "Sure you two don't want to try one? They're really good!" Rubble offered as he started to chow down.

Ben shook his head no in response. "I'm okay, I prefer regular sausages." Ben answered.

"Yeah, I like my sausages liver-free." Ryder agreed.

"Mind if I munch a morsel?" Captain Turbot asked.

"Help yourself to them." Ben nonchalantly replied.

"Mmmm! Delicious! Benjamin, my boy, these lovely liver-links are liver-iffic!" Captain Turbot exclaimed after taking a bite out of one of the liver flavored ones.

Ben chuckled. "In that case, help yourself to as many as you like!" Ben told the captain.

"But don't eat too many, or you'll turn into a pup!" Zuma joked.

The sailor laughed before looking up at the sky. "Well, I guess anything is possible under the magical Mer-moon!" Horatio mused.

"Yeah! Like in that totally cool legend of the mer-pup!" Zuma piped up.

"Merpup? What's a merpup?" Rubble wondered.

"Dude, you don't know?! A mer-pup has the body of a pup and the tail of a fish!" Zuma explained.

"Yeah, and the legend says when the full moon rises exactly at sunset, it's a magical Mer-moon and the touch of a mer-pup can turn you into one! But for that night only, and just until the sun rises." Skye added.

"That is the tale, tall or true, and that is the marvelous, maybe even magical, mer-pup-moon!" Captain Turbot finished the legend.

Chase rolled his eyes and snorted. "Magical merpup moon... puh-lease! Have you actually seen a mer-pup, Cap'n Turbot?" Chase scoffed.

"I think I have, young pup! Many moons ago, I had a magically mysterious, mystically marvelous, mer-pup meeting!" Captain Turbot responded confidently.

"REALLY!?" Ben, Ryder, and the pups gasped, not expecting Captain Turbot to actually have had an encounter with one.

"Indeed, my friends! Allow me to paint you a picture with my words. The magical Mer-moon filled the sky... beaming bright as a beacon. Suddenly, I saw something splishing and splashing! A sea otter? Or surely a seal! But as I sailed closer, I saw something with the tail of a fish, and the face of a pup! It swam undersea, but I could still hear it singing its sweet, sweet song. The legendary mer-pup! I just needed positive proof that it was true! I took this photo, and behold, the tail tells the tale!" Captain Turbot described to them, detailing his encounter with the mythical sea creature and showing them the picture he had taken.

"Tsk, all I see is a thumb!" Chase dismissively growled.

"I always dreamed of becoming a mer-pup!" Skye squealed.

"It would be pretty cool to be a mer-pup. Except for the getting wet part." Rocky commented.

"Are you sure that the tail isn't that of a walrus or something?" Chase asked skeptically.

"Well, nobody's ever gotten a real good picture of a mer-pup. It could have been something else." Ryder thoughtfully said.

"Perhaps this picture isn't perfect proof, but I know I saw a mer-pup on a magical Mer-moon night long ago. And that myth might come true again tonight!" The captain sighed happily.
