Game Night!

Competitive-ness was in the air as Sparkle, Don Don, Billy Bob and Perky settled down for their annual Game Night-it was only once a year as Billy Bob got very disappointed when he lost, and a disappointed hippo was heartbreaking.

The four started off with a game of basketball, but only Sparkle could actually shoot the ball.

"I CAN GET THREE POINTS!!!"

Not wanting to be outdone, Don Don aimed for a shot at the net.

"Five PigStoppers says that I can get the ball in!"

Perky and Billy Bob decided that revenge was in order against the two teacup pigs, and thought that they would, in the form of Big Trouble.

"What do you mean I'm in big trouble?" -Don Don

Seeing that Billy Bob was behind all of the trouble, Don Don challenged him to a game of checkers, something that Don Don knew he was good at.

"KING ME, PERKY!" -Sparkle

By then, Billy Bob's competitive spirit was flowing, and he was on a pretty good winning streak. He decided to challenge the teacup pigs to a game of chess. Perky, who had no idea how to play chess, just sat there and tried to look like he knew what he was doing.

"I am this close to getting my queen back!" -Billy Bob

To even out the competitive spirit, Sparkle suggested a game of Parcheesi. This time, Perky didn't even bother hiding his confusion. It took several minutes to explain the rules to the poor pig, and Perky still only understood half of the words.

"Who says I can't lay in the middle of the board?" -Billy Bob

Much to Don Don's chagrin, the only way to get Billy Bob off of the board was to play his most hated game-dominoes. Still, as long as it got Billy Bob off of the board, he'd do anything.

"Hmmm....I want to add a double six, but I"m pretty sure I can' t do that!" -Sparkle

The four wound down the day by playing one last game-the Sleeping Door.

"OH MY GOSH!!!!! IT'S A CLOCK!!!!!!!!" -everyone

Billy Bob went off to his chambers to take a bath, which meant Perky, Sparkle, and Don Don were free to go to sleep. All three pigs swore that they would never have Game Night again-until next year.

"I miss Billy Bob already," -Sparkle

Atlantic City!

Perky, Sparkle and Billy Bob were off to Atlantic City! And they were pretty sure they weren't going to gamble. Until, that was, they wound up at the Taj Mahal...

"Pffft! Is that water?"

Perky convinced Sparkle and Billy Bob to have just one look inside of the casino. While no gambling was done, there was much hanging off of high places...

"If I fall, Billy Bob, you can have my secret stash of chocolate cake!"

It was then that Perky spotted a large candy store, and like the casino, he HAD to just have one look. This time, neither Billy Bob nor Sparkle needed convincing. Once inside, Billy Bob and Perky made a beeline for the giant box of Nerds while Sparkle became intrigued by a large gummy bear.

"I CALL DIBS ON THE STRAWBERRY!" -Perky

Sparkle had moved on to a giant lollipop, which was made of 100% marshmallow. He wanted to eat it, but he couldn't.

"What's a pig gotta do to get some sugar around here?"

Back over at the Nerds box, Perky and Billy Bob were horrifyingly staring at an empty box of Nerds. In a store, no less! They quickly fled to a Dubble Bubble pillow so that they couldn't be traced to the crime. Sparkle soon joined them there.

"We didn't do it, we swear!"

When they saw that the coast was clear, Sparkle and Perky went to investigate a giant gobstopper on Sparkle's behalf. Perky made Sparkle promise that he wouldn't eat it.

"Perky, why would I eat this? I'm too small!" -Sparkle

After escaping from the store safely, Perky, Billy Bob, and Sparkle stopped at a pizza joint for lunch.

"What's this look like to you, Perkster?" -Billy Bob

The pizza was quickly wolfed down, so Perky, Billy Bob, and Sparkle went to Ocean City, where they couldn't resist posing in the face of a giant flip-flop.

"This flip-flop has a bigger eye than I do!" -Billy Bob

It was then over to historic Smithville, where Perky and Billy Bob were munching away on some yummy bread in less than five minutes.

"Mmm, yummers, I taste the onions..."

Billy Bob suggested that Perky try his hoof at driving a boat. Much to their disappointment, the boats hadn't even been put out.

"Okay, Billy Bob, I'll drive you work the shift," _Perky
"But Perky! I don't drive!" -Billy Bob

After Billy Bob nearly sank them both, Perky decided that the three would try their hooves at something easier-Pac Man. Which was easier said than done...

"I don't know how to hit A and B! I can't do both at the same time!" -Sparkle

Perky, Billy Bob, and Sparkle gave up on the fun for the day, and retreated back into their lair to earn some well-earned sleep.

Camping trip!

It was the adventure of a lifetime. Perky was going camping! With Billy Bob, DonDon, and his cousin Sparkle. The four also met Mr. Penguin Jr.

When they got there, they had to figure out how to set up the tent. Turns out it isn't so easy when there's a penguin holding a hammer...

"Uh...I'm not sure the stake's here, exactly..."

Setting up a tent is hard work, so Perky and Billy Bob headed off to the lake.

"Wow! This water's COLD!"

Billy Bob challenged Perky to see if he could hold his breath underwater. Billy Bob, apparently, can blow bubbles.

"**GLUG** I told you, Billy Bob!"

A defeated Billy Bob then challenged the victorious Perky to a flying contest. Whoever could fly higher would win a box of Cheerios. 

"Hehe....HI BILLY BOB!!!"

After soundly defeating Billy Bob twice, Perky decided that he'd take a bit of a rest in the water.

"Ah, Hawaii...wait a minute, there's no dirt in Hawaii!"

It was at that point that Sparkle and DonDon decided to join the two (Mr. Penguin Jr. was mysteriously missing...) The four wanted to play water polo, but that didn't turn out so well.

"Er, Sparkle, you're floating away...Sparkle? SPARKLE!"

Perky soon remembered that Billy Bob owed him a box of Cheerios, and the two promptly climbed out of the lake for a snack.

"Uh...Billy Bob, you don't need a combination lock for the box..."

To make up for the lost water polo game, Perky decided that a game of volleyball was in order. Unfortunately, Perky was to be the volleyball...

"Hey guys? Can you get me down? Guys? GUYS????"

Lunch seemed to be in order then. and it was off to a local restaurant.

"Whew! Water sounds **glug** great!"

Billy Bob sniffed at a suspicious substance that he thought was his favorite chili sauce, but it was just ketchup.

"What? This isn't Theodore's rachichi chili sauce?"

The food soon arrived, and, since the pair had ordered the mystery meat, it was up to them to figure it out.

"What?! I don't believe it's chicken!"

The waitress had advised Billy Bob and Perky to go to the lookout point that was a few miles away. They were not disappointed. After all, DonDon was doing dance numbers on the rocks...

"FUZZY PICKLES!!!! Ow, DonDon!" -Perky

Back at the campsite, Sparkle and Mr. Penguin Jr. had come down with a horrible stomachache. They felt better, though, and came to join the trio for marshmallows. 

"One, two, three, four, five...what, DonDon? Another one? But the fire's out already and we dropped 'em all!"

There was another way to entertain themselves, though. Billy Bob, always the competitive one, challenged the gang to a rope-hanging contest. 

"Stop cheating, Mr. Penguin!!! Hey wait a minute, Perky, you're cheating, too!"

Realizing that it was long  past dinnertime, Perky volunteered to go and grab a bite to eat. However, he did most of the eating.

"Mmm...ginger ale..."

With the dark rapidly approaching, the gang gathered in their tent to review the pictures of the day.

"That is not my face! Delete it, DonDon!!!!" -Billy Bob

Mr. Penguin Jr. insisted on one game of Big 2 before they all turned in. A makeshift table was quickly made out of water bottles.

"Full house! Take that, DonDon!" -Sparkle

Lastly, it was time for a last tuck-in and good night. :)

"Sparkle, geroff my head!" -Billy Bob

Cape Cod: Day 1

A pig heading off to Cape Cod is a rare sight. But what's even more rare is a pig heading to Cape Cod that's named Perky...with another pig, Don Don, and a hippo named Billy Bob. Not to mention a duck named Skittle.


"Perky, I think you're sitting on my head..."- Billy Bob

The trio started off the day by hitting the shipyard, in awe of all of its fishing boats. Billy Bob was too scared of the water, so Perky and Don Don braved the rock alone.

"Don't worry, Don Don, I've got you,"

Back on dry land, Perky and Billy Bob had a snack of fried bean mix. Needless to say, it was clear who was going to later have the runs.

"Billy Bob, I think I smell your farts already....this isn't supposed to give you gas!!!!"

The gang headed to Veterans Park Beach, where the sand was slightly rocky. Perky chose to walk on the rocks instead, where the sound of the surf was quite comforting.

"Whew, this wind is cold..."

As a joke, Don Don, Billy Bob and Skittle decided to bury Perky up to his head in the sand. They'd hadn't had any fun all day, and burying Perky was one of the funniest things they'd done by far.

"This isn't funny, guys. I'd like to get out of here. Guys..? Billy Bob? Skittle?? HEY! NO! YOU COME BACK HERE..."

With a few threats, Perky managed to convince Billy Bob to dig him out of the hole. He then started looking for seashells, picking up only the shiny ones. After a half hour, he plopped down, tired as a pighog.

"Ooh....I think this one's still alive..."

What better way to burn more energy than to go to a playground? Better yet, the playground was only a few years away. With a giant jungle gym, no less. But Perky wasn't counting on Don Don being afraid of heights. This made it pretty hard to get him off.

"Don't look down, Don Don!"

It took a few tries (not to mention an hour and a half) to coax the poor teacup pig from his spot. When he got down, Perky vowed never to take Don Don to Mount Everest. Not on his watch. After a quick lunch, Perky and Don Don went biking at Nickerson State Park while Skittle and Billy Bob went kyaking.

"I can't reach the handle!" Perky
"I can't reach the pedals!!!" -Don Don

The swampland behind them seemed very tempting to Perky, and Don Don had to remind him that he was a sophisticated pig. So Perky had to make do with taking a picture.

But all was forgotten when Perky saw the dinosaur horn. He just HAD to squeeze it, whether it was his or not.

"*SQUEAK* Teehee!"

At this point, Perky was in a trying mood. So of course, he had to try on multiple helmets. Even though this wasn't a store.

"Does anyone think this makes my head look fat?"

Don Don , of course, did anything that Perky did-he'd become Perky's little shadow. It turns out he didn't fit the helmet so well, though.

"Oh my gosh! It's the Grand Canyon!"

What a tiring day for Perky it was. He was so tired, he ended up falling asleep right in the helmet. Don Don, the wonderful little (literally) pig he was, decided not to disturb him, leaving him for the next day.
