Chapter 19

Shortly after Lurg and Audra left for Spain, Ursula was preparing to leave as well. She was planning on traveling to South America to find out the secret ingredients and food of the people from Macho Picho. Vasca de Gama and Chester was going to travel with Ursula because Macho Picho was one of the only places in the new world that he has yet to go to. Now only Skully and Condi were left on the ship. Skully hired a bunch of Mexicans-for-hire to be the crew on the ship.

A few weeks’ later things were very completely different on the ship. Skully and Condi were getting sick of having Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. Skully found that there were both positives and negatives for hiring the Mexicans. The positives were that he was able to hire twice as many crews for half the pay of his original crew. He was also able to hire crew to build a tank for Madison. But Skully was also thinking about the negatives of hiring Mexicans. Who are the only people dirtier than pirates? Skully thought to himself. MEXICANS!!! Skully and Condi held out hope that the real crew would return. But many weeks passed and Skully heard nothing from any of his crew.

Almost four months passed without the original crew on the ship when finally a ship pulled up to the Judith Prosperous. They were from the Spanish Queen and they were sailing the sea inviting everyone on the guest list to come to Spain and celebrate. Celebrate what? The wedding of Audra and Lurg of course.

Skully and Condi were so excited. They needed to see their mates again; it’s been along four months without them.

Skully, Condi and the Mexicans set out for Spain.
