Scaredy Cat, JJ and Bob were enjoying the start to their summer vacation. To practise being brave they had saved up money and visit the Big Island of Hawaii. Currently they were engaged in Bob’s favourite part of the day: free breakfast at the hotel! It is an absolute smorgasboard of everything imaginable. Fresh fruits, pastry, meats, CHOCOLATE! Scaredy Cat did not know if they would manage to get to the beach or not.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Joker.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Joker the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
While Bob was filling his plate once again, was this the 10th time? Scaredy Cat and JJ scrolled on the tablet to see what was happening on the island in hopes of finding something to do. It appeared the hotel was going to be hosting pineapple bowling and a luau but what struck Scaredy Cat the most was the surfing contest!
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Oliver.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Oliver the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
“Prizes???? Maybe there will be food!!!” exclaimed Bob. “Hey you! Yes you! I’ve seen you lurking over there munching away. What’s your name? Are you from around here?”
“Ummmm, my name is Anhedonia ♡ and I grew up on these islands but am now here visiting why?”
“We need to learn how to surf STAT! Do you know where we can take lessons?”
“Well when I was young legend had it there was this great fanged penguin who lived alone but was a master of the waves. Nobody could tackle the waves he could…”
“Great! Where do we find him?”
“That’s the challenge. Nobody ever has seen this penguin…”
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Bieber.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Bieber the Achiever Beaver. They both received one silver mole!
Bieber and you found 5 "Sun Loving Beach Kitty, Blue Flamingo Float" size 4.
“Sure!” said Anhedonia ♡. “It will get me away from a family reunion.”
“Ummm Bob…is this such a great idea? I mean NOBODY has seen this penguin. And the hotel offers surfing lessons.” mumbled Scaredy Cat.
“SHUSH! This penguin is a guru and we must win! Now let me see your GPS there so we can pinpoint some possible locations to check out. And some snack bars!”
Bob and Anhedonia ♡ huddled around the GPS unit marking out some possible locations the team could check out and Scaredy Cat and JJ carried on finishing up their breakfast. Whoever would have thought something could distract Bob from food? As they packed up their things the crew did not notice a tiny little crab following being picking up Bob’s crumbs…, YUMMY!
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met swinger.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with swinger the Brown Funky Monkey. They both received one silver mole!
Hopping on their scooters it was decided the first stop should be the nearby coffee estate. Where else would a penguin hang out? Coffee. Shade. Sun. Water. It all made sense.
“There! In the distance! That must be him! I see a penguin!” exclaimed an excited Bob. Pulling out his binoculars Scaredy Cat shook his head with disappointment. “I don’t see any fangs. I don’t think that is our surfing guru.”
“Drats! Well let’s get some coffee and coffee cake and hit the road! You dig Anhedonia ♡?”
“Maybe we should get something for the great penguin as an offering for when we find him. You never know he may ask.”
“Great idea! More coffee!”
Picking up crumbs the crab followed behind, enjoying the scene. This could be good pickings.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Choose a name.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
Fresh off disappointment from the coffee stop, the team carried on to the next stop, a pineapple plantation. This made sense to them and Bob could not get into too much trouble here, right? Really what could natural sugar do to him? One never should ask that question. There was pineapple everything to be had and the local pigs were serving it all up. To make matters worse there was a trampoline Bob just had to try! Thankfully no broken bones resulted but no penguins were in sight and Bob was more hyper than Scaredy Cat had ever seen him. Would he ever learn to surf? Why had he not stayed for the lessons at the hotel?
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Iolanthe.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Iolanthe the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
A slushie shack! That has to be the answer! Hopping back on the scooters the team stuffed to the brim on every imaginable pineapple delight scooted over to the popular slushie shack along the highway. It was such a popular establishment that of course the guru would come and hang here.
“It’s so hot! I need something to cool off. Maybe a few slushies will help.”
“You know those are pure sugar Bob.”
“But they are sooooooGOOOOD!!!”
Scaredy Cat looked on in horror as Bob chugged down slushie after slushie. He and JJ each only had one a piece. Bob did have a point. They were good. But if the great penguin was not here where could he be? They had collected such great stuff to offer but would they ever be able to gift it? Maybe it would just fuel Bob’s sugar rush more.
And a little crab was happy sipping up Bob’s slushie remains.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Angel.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Angel the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
“We are striking out Anhedonia ♡. Any thoughts where we should go?” asked Scaredy Cat.
“Well, I have heard rumours that he may hang out at Volcano Point.”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
Hopping on their scooters the crew scooted along the shoulder of the highway until they came to the majestic region known as Volcano Point. Palm trees circled the beach and was that an actual volcano!?! YIKES! But more importantly was that the GREAT PENGUIN in the distance down at the water?!?! Dropping their scooters the crew rushed down towards the ocean front.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Unigy.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Unigy the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
“Hello Mister Great Penguin! We need assistance in learning how to surf and we hear you are the best surfer here on the island. Will you please help us?”
“Really? You have come to me you say? It has been a long time since I have been on a surfboard. Mostly I just lay here on the beach sunning myself and snacking nowadays.”
“But Sir, we really need your help! There is this big competition at the hotel we are staying at with prizes and everything and none of us have ever been on a board before! We will make total fools of ourselves! If it were a pineapple eating contest we would be sure to win but this? No way!” begged Bob.
“Well then, what can you offer me in return for my services?”
Scaredy Cat reached down and pulled out all of the treats they had accumulated over their journey trying to find the Great Penguin. “Would these work Sir?”
“Let’s hit the waves!”
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met PHOENIX.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with PHOENIX the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
PHOENIX and you found 5 "Sun Loving Beach Kitty, Blue Flamingo Float" size 4.
“Grab a board from over there and let’s see what you are made of and what all we need work on.”
Scaredy Cat, Bob and JJ all grabbed surfboards from the stand and started to make their way to the water. Or at least they tried to. Bob, being Bob, managed to trip over his own two feet and went tumbling down, flipping his board into the air.
“Well I see first skill we need is walking.” said the Great Penguin.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Piña Colette.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Piña Colette the Beach Lovin' Pineapple. They both received one silver mole!
Piña Colette and you found 5 "Three Seagulls, Flying" size 4.
Finally everyone had made it safely into the water and was trying to make it out into the ocean. JJ, being a dog, easily managed the doggie paddle and was the first to be out waiting. Scaredy Cat was slightly afraid. He had not realized surfing involved water! Cats were afraid of water! But if JJ could do it so could he so he put on a brave face and started paddling his board into the ocean. Bob, well Bob was another story. Every time Bob tried to get atop his surfboard he flipped over into the water with a giant SPLASH! He could not stay atop it and had to be rescued by the Great Penguin multiple times before they finally all made it out to the ocean. Anhedonia ♡ watched from shore laughing with delight along with the crab who munched on snacks.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Adept Sanitation Juggernaut.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Adept Sanitation Juggernaut the Multi-Functional Robot. They both received one silver mole!
Adept Sanitation Juggernaut and you found 3 GOLDEN MOLES!
“OK. Now that we have made it out into open water the next skill you need to learn is how to stand up.”
“What?!?! We need to stand atop these slippery things???” asked Bob.
“Yes. Yes we do. It’s quite simple.” And with ease the Great Penguin moved from his belly to a standing position atop the surfboard. “Just like that.”
Scaredy Cat, finally feeling a bit more comfortable in the water made his try and actually found it quite easy to do and encouraged Bob and JJ to try. “C’mon guys! It’s not that hard.”
Bob slowly started to move after having what could only be referred to as a death grip on his board and promptly flipped back into the ocean sending his board shooting up into the air to come crashing down and bonk him on the leg!
“OUCH! Can we please go back to the snack bar?”
“Practice young whippersnapper. It takes practice. Now try again.”
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Alexander.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Alexander the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
Alexander gave you 1 "Evening Tide Sea Shell" size 7
Eventually, with cheers from Anhedonia ♡ and the crab on shore all 3 and the Great Penguin were standing balancing atop their surfboards.
“See? That is all there is to it. Go from belly to feet when you see a wave. Now let’s lie back down and await that wave I see forming out there. When it gets close we will turn around and stand up and have the ride of our lives!”
“Wait? What? We are supposed to do this atop a wave?” stammered Bob.
“Well that kind of is the point of surfing. This is not stand up paddle boarding you know. Or did you want to try some yoga atop these?”
“Nope! I’m good!”
“Alright then. Let’s wait for that wave”
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Sweetie.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Sweetie the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
Sweetie and you found 5 "Sun Loving Beach Kitty, Pink Flamingo Float" size 4.
But where was Bob? His surfboard was floating there but where was Bob? Oh! There he was! JJ was swimming over to rescue Bob once again as Bob, try as he might, could not stay atop the surfboard and was floating in the open ocean sputtering for air and treats. Good thing JJ was such a good swimmer.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met shakur.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with shakur the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Hustling back to their scooters the team high tailed it back to the hotel. Thankfully they made it in time for the evening luau. What a sight! All the lights and flowers and pineapples. Was that a game of limbo happening? Boy oh boy were they going to have fun tonight! Scaredy Cat and JJ rushed over to get in line to limbo while Bob headed where else- the buffet!
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Jacques.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Jacques the Brown Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
“JJ, I’m scared. Look at all these people!” Scaredy Cat was looking around at the crowds of people gathered for the surfing competition. “How ever are any of us expected to win? Look at these pets! They look like they have been surfing all their lives. They look like pros. And there are just.so.many.of.them.”
While JJ did his best to console Scaredy Cat Bob got the team registered at the registration desk and got their numbers. He was excited at the prospect of the mystery prize. What if it was food??? It must be food, especially after that wonderful buffet last night. The island was known for great food. It had to be food. It just had to be!
Once registered, the team grabbed their boards and joined the other contestants waiting for the call to the water. The waves looked good.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Choose a name.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
Choose a name and you found 5 "Summer Wreath" size 4.
Scaredy Cat, Bob and JJ all started paddling furiously out into the ocean with all of the others. Somehow Bob still was atop his board doggy paddling like the Great Penguin had showed him. Maybe he *could* do this. Scaredy Cat was taking deep breaths. The water here seemed rougher than what they trained in and he still was not a fan of water. For JJ, the doggy paddle was second nature. What was yet to come, well that might be a different story.
Out in the middle of the ocean with all the other competitors they waited floating on their boards. When would the waves come rolling in?
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Flip Flop Flap.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Flip Flop Flap the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
Everyone made their way to a standing position. Well everyone but Bob that is. As Bob tried to stand the slippery surface of his surfboard got the better of him and he flipped right up into the air. The surfboard sailed out from under his feet knocking down 2 other surfers leaving them sputtering in the water.
Surprisingly Scaredy Cat made the transition with ease and was gliding along the waves like one cool cat.
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Zuri.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Zuri the Lilac Daydream Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
Zuri and you found 5 "Impressive Sandcastle" size 4.
“This is gnarly dude!” stated Scaredy Cat. “I could do this all day!”
From the most timid surfer to the bravest and perhaps the best, Scaredy Cat was coasting the waves with ease. He was looking like a natural atop his board while the big waves were knocking down the other competitors including JJ.
While Bob and JJ ended up half swimming half floating to shore Scaredy Cat readily coasted to shore atop his surfboard with ease and dismounted with pride.
“I did it!”
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Cuddles.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Cuddles the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
Cuddles gave you 1 "Air Summoner Sea Shell" size 10
By this time Bob and JJ had dried off and come to Scaredy Cat’s side and learned the news.
“What’s the prize?!?! What’s the prize?!?!” Bob could not contain himself.
“Well, that is very simple.” explained the judge. “This year the hotel has generously donated this lovely beach house as a prize.”
“Wha….”
“Well thank you that is so generous. I do appreciate it. However I think it would be best though if I gifted it to my dear new friend Anhedonia ♡ here. Without them I never would have learned how to surf and besides they have family here on the island and I am just here visiting.”
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Pika.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Pika the Vanilla Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
“BOB!” exclaimed JJ and Scaredy Cat as they accepted the giant egg.
“Again, before Bob steals this to eat, Anhedonia ♡ you better hide this. Bob will eat anything as you have seen.”
“Let’s find Bob some more pineapples and slushies before he withers away to nothing. He does appear to be starving.” replied a witty Anhedonia ♡ with thanks. Anhedonia ♡ has enjoyed her day on the beach! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also play by the sea!
Whilst happily beachcombing, you met Nicole.
Anhedonia ♡ shook paws with Nicole the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
