Pirate Duel!

[Joshua Daniels]

Scobbles was a pesky imaginary friend. Very, very pesky.

"Really man... c'mon..." Joshua whined, as he lay on the grass staring up at the clouds. He shoved a cookie in his mouth his sister had stuffed in his pocket and chewed it slowly. He always thought her cookies were delicious and really hoped she'd open a bakery someday. He'd get a sibling freebe discount, of course ;D He'd put boogers in her hair until she agreed!

"Arghhhh, ye matey. Battle me or walk the plank!" Scobbles demanded, poking him with a sword. Joshua was really started to get sick of his imaginary goblin friend.. but he grinned and jumped up.

"AARGGGHH! Ye messed with the wrooong pirate!" Joshua yelped, grabbing the wooden sword he brought along off the grass. He got in his battle position and moved his hand in a 'come at me bro' type manner. Scobbles was not going to win this one!

"Vaccinations dear" Rosie chirped cheerfully as she appeared at the "pirates" elbow "Now just hold still a second and it will all be over. Then you can get back to playing Pirates with your lovely see through Goblin there" she sticks the needle in holding him still as she hits the plunger "Not enough imaginary friends around here anymore, or silly animals that talk and tap why in my day..." she pulled out the needle before she could get to exactly what they did in her day and exactly how long ago that was. Smiling she applied the glittery Band-aid then reached over and repeated the process on the imaginary goblin, no need for him to be left out. After all who knew what diseases it carried. Finishing up she giggled and handed the boy 2 cookies and 2 lollypops 'Don't forget to share those and have fun with your Swashbuckling" she called over her shoulder as she danced across the lawns in search of the next one.

Joshua swiped his sword at Scobbles just as he felt a pinch in his arm. What was this trickery?! "Ahh, ye traitor!" he yelped in pirate talk, "Ambush! Ambush!"

It wasn't until he looked around that he realized it was an adult lady giving him a shot... wait, a shot? Oh, no, no, no... He held his breath as she inserted the needle, and his face turned pale. He haaaaaaaaaaaated needles. He looked down at Scobbles as she inserted the needle, and he just replied with a confused shrug. How was he suppose to know who she was?

Once she finished he took a deep breath, then breathed out slowly. "Thanks.." he said meekly, embarrassed by his irrational fear. He needed to be a man to impress the ladies.

Josh chuckled as she gave Scobbles a shot. He shot Josh a nasty look and disappeared as soon as she finished with him. Then she handed him lollipops and cookies. "Oh, awesome! Thank you nurse lady! Arghhh!" Joshua said enthusiastically, unwrapping a lollipop and plopping it into his mouth. She skipped away and he waved cheerfully, not realizing he waved with the shot arm and rubbed it after.

Scobbles re-appeared and Joshua grinned, shoving the goodies into his pocket. "Yaaaargh, ye must fight me for thee treasure..." he arghhh'd, lifting his sword up again. Scobbles grinned, and they were at it again.
