Editor Eddie sends Cucumber & Pickles to his office to discuss about their trip to Istanbul, Turkey. He requests photos of the Mosques. And the colorful fabrics in the Grand Bazaar. They were both intrigued hearing about the fact that there's colorful fabrics in a place called the Grand Bazaar.
Cucumber: Colorful fabrics you say? Sounds cool!
Pickles: Bet the fabrics would look good on you Cucumber.
Cucumber: (Blushes)
Editor Eddie: Alright Cucumber. Good luck on your trip to Istanbul. Take many photos as you can. And you can film the scenery too.
Cucumber: Got it! Thanks Editor Eddie.
They have arrived in Turkey but not in Istanbul. They arrived at the wrong location. They arrived in their capital "Ankara". Cucumber & Pickles began to get a little upset that they arrived at the wrong location, Pickles angerly throws his cap down on the ground.
Pickles: That dumb captain or whatever dropped us off at the wrong location!!
Cucumber: We were supposed to travel to Istanbul!!
Pickles: I know. Some people are just stupid.
Cucumber: How the hell are we going to get to Istanbul?
Pickles: There's no way we're going on foot.
????: May I assist you?
????: I'm Conductor Kerem. The conducter of the Turkish State Railways.
Cucumber: (Makes a grin like Pickles did when they first met Constable Raccoon)
Pickles: I'm Pickles the assistant. And that's Cucumber, the photographer. But we were dropped off at the wrong location.
Cucumber: We were supposed to arrive at Istanbul. But we landed in Ankara.
Conductor Kerem: That's unfortunate. But I can help you.
Cucumber & Pickles: Can you?
Conductor Kerem: Of course, Hop in the train so we can take you to Istanbul.
Cucumber & Pickles follow Conductor Kerem to the train so they can board it from Ankara to Istanbul. It'll be a 5 hour train ride but it would of course be worth the wait. What they did to pass the time was chat.
Pickles: Cucumber?
Cucumber: Yes?
Pickles: What made you wanna be a photographer?
Cucumber: (Chuckles) Good question. It was my dream to do so of course.
Pickles: You may not remember but, I was a photographer a bit before you were.
Cucumber: I figured. And I was kinda resentful and neutral when I first met you.
Pickles: I was kinda immature sleeping under a bed because I was afraid of sleeping in open space and thought I was gonna die.
Cucumber: Don't tell me you still do that.
Pickles: Those days are long gone. I'm man enough to do it. Especially.. Sleeping on a queen sized bed with.. with..
Cucumber: Who?
Pickles: You?
Cucumber: As long as you're not a loud snorer heh..
Pickles: I don't snore. I never do. I would rather come close to you when you are asleep to protect you from nightmares.
Cucumber: Pickles.. I never heard you say such thing..
Pickles: It's just that I... I really like you.
Cucumber: You do..?
Pickles: I really do.
Cucumber: (Blushes and smiles) I am blessed that you said those things to me. I never knew my assistant could show love to me.
Pickles: I wasn't afraid to say those things to ya.
4 hours later, the train was almost to Istanbul. Cucumber began to film by the window to see that they're on their way to Istanbul. But the train wasn't running smoothly. The railway could have something stuck on it. Either a rock or a piece of debri that shook up the train. As the train was shaking, Cucumber & Pickles began to panic and called over Conductor Kerem to try and control the train.
Cucumber: Stop the train!!
Pickles: It's shaking up!! It's like an earthquake!!
Conductor Kerem: Hang on you two!!
Pickles: Do something! Anything! Hurry up!
Conductor Kerem: Ah! The emergency brake!
Conductor Kerem starts to pull down the emergency brake so the train can be stopped while it's in the middle of speeding and on the verge of crashing but unfortunetly, the emergency brake broke off and the train is still running full speed and they are in panic.
Cucumber: No! The brake broke!
Pickles: Now what do we do?!
Conductor Kerem: All I can say is.. HOLD ON TIGHT!!
The train runs uncontrollably in full speed until it ran over something large and the train is crashing and shaking humungously causing a turbulance in the train. Cucumber was screaming including Pickles and the camera is still running and filming the crash too.
Cucumber: (Screaming)
Pickles: SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK COCK COCK COCK ASS ASS ASS DICK DICK BITCH BITCH!!!!
The crash finally stopped and the train was totaled. Luckily, Cucumber, Conductor Kerem & Pickles survived the crash. But they were a little concussed from the fall.
Conductor Kerem: Everyone okay?
Pickles: Owwww... Cucumber? Are you okay? Cucumber??
Cucumber: (Awakens) Was that a dream?
Pickles: That was no dream.
Conductor Kerem: Let's get out of here and see where we are.
Conductor Kerem helps Cucumber & Pickles out of the train. Cucumber forgot to press stop on her camera while the film was running. Good thing there's still space left to film more places and take more photos too. As they got out of the totaled train, They are very close to Istanbul. Cucumber was relieved that they finally made it to Istanbul.
Pickles: I can see it! We made it!
Cucumber: We did.
Conductor Kerem: There you go, We are close to Istanbul. Follow me.
Then, Cucumber & Pickles follows Conductor Kerem to where it goes to the entrance to Istanbul. Cucumber then asks a question to Conductor Kerem about how often a train like this crashes.
Cucumber: Conductor Kerem, how often does your railway crash?
Conductor Kerem: Rarely. The most common cause of it was either system malfunction or running over debris.
Cucumber: It must've been the debris. You know what it was?
Conductor Kerem: No, No, I don't.
Pickles: That scared the crap outta me though.
Cucumber: Me too.
The first place they head to is the Grand Bazaar where all the colorful fabric is. Cucumber always wanted to be colorful fabric, so she took a photo of the colorful frabic to please Editor Eddie.
Cucumber: Ooooooo! (Snaps a picture of the colorful fabric)
Pickles: I love the color, do they make clothing related to that?
Conductor Kerem: You bet they do! Want to try some on?
Cucumber: I would love to!
Conductor Kerem: Try these on (Hands her a colorful, sexy, fatima outfit for her to try)
Cucumber looks at the outfit but she's not used to putting a sexy outfit on and her mind is debating whether to show it to Pickles or not. She gave up and decided to put them on. 10 seconds later, Cucumber got done putting on the outfit and asks if anyone is ready to see the outfit.
Cucumber: Umm... you guys.. ready..?
Pickles: Come on outta there! No need to be embarassed! You're amazing no matter what!
Cucumber: (Comes out of the changing room slowly) Well..?
Pickles: (Shocked) My god... You look... look...
Cucumber: I look what? Colorful?
Pickles: No! You look... sexy!
Cucumber: I doooo?
Pickles: Yeah! Very sexy! You're like a princess rather than a photographer!
Cucumber: (Puts her hand on her chest with gratitude) Awwww!
Pickles: Can I take a photo of ya?
Cucumber: Ummm.. sure
Pickles: (Takes a photo of Cucumber wearing the sexy fatima outfit) Wooooooooweeeeee!
Cucumber: (Giggles)
Conductor Kerem: You guys got enough photos for the Grand Bazaar?
Pickles: We sure did! Let's go!
The next place to take photos is one of the mosques. Cucumber was mind blown seeing a mosque in Istanbul. So she finds her camera but it wasn't with her. She looked everywhere around her but it wasn't in her pockets because little did she know, she's still wearing the fatima outfit and didn't notice.
Cucumber: Ohhh no no no no shit shit shit!
Pickles: What's wrong?
Cucumber: My camera! It's gone! Did I drop it?
Pickles: I think you left it at the Grand Bazaar.
Cucumber: Damn! I forgot my camera along with my normal clothes!
Conductor Kerem: We'll find them for you Miss Cucumber.
Cucumber: Thank you, Conductor Kerem. You're the best.
Conductor Kerem, Cucumber & Pickles go back to the Grand Bazaar to find Cucumber's belongings that includes her normal clothes and her camera. She remembered she left them in the changing room when she was trying on clothes. They looked in the same changing room but her belongings was nowhere to be seen. So they keep searching around the building but it was hopeless.
Cucumber: Oh no! No! NO! This can't be!
Conductor Kerem: Miss Cucumber, It's not the end of the world! We'll find your belongings.
Cucumber: How?! This town is too damn big!! I swear to god I left them here!
Conductor Kerem: You're just not looking hard enough.
Cucumber: Maybe you're right, I'm not. Let's just search one more time.
They search one more time but still not belongings yet until Pickles looked up at see a sign that has an icon with a luggage with a question mark on it with a Turkish text. He then asks Conductor Kerem what it says.
Pickles: Hey Conductor Kerem? What does Kayup vee bulunanana?
Conductor Kerem: (Chuckles) It's Kayıp ve Bulunan my kind sir. It means lost and found. That might be the place to look.
Cucumber: We should cross our fingers, I just hope my stuff is in that lost and found..
Pickles: I'm crossin' em.
They head to the lost and found and start searching for belongings. Cucumber did remember what her bag full of belongings looked like. 2 minutes of searching later, She finally found her belongings! She was very happy to see her belongings again, all her normal clothes were in it and her camera was in it as well. She then heads back to the changing room to put her normal clothes back on and is ready to roll. They now head back to the same mosque that they were going to take photos of. They enter it and took plenty of great pictures and their mission was complete.
One day later, They get back to the Daily Veggie and see Editor Eddie in his office to show him the pictures they took in Istanbul.
Editor Eddie: Glad you two made it back! Let's see those pictures!
Cucumber: Yes sir. (Connects her camera to the projector so he can see the photos and videos of their adventure in Istanbul. When it got to the video where they were experiencing the train crash, Editor Eddie was surprised about Pickles' swearing)
Editor Eddie: Heavens, quite the mouth you had there, Pickles.
Pickles: They were just words. I heard way worse from Francis.
Editor Eddie: Was there anything else you could've said?
Pickles: We were bumping and falling and crashing. I thought we were gonna die in Turkey.
Cucumber: At least I held on tight to Pickles.
Editor Eddie: Good to hear. But Pickles lost control. But lucky I'm the only one who saw this raw footage of the crash. This is between us, Okay?
Pickles: Sorry Editor Eddie.
Editor Eddie: Don't be sorry, You two have still done such service. Those photos were great, and the footage was wild and graphic and shows proof of how bad train crashes are in Turkey.
Cucumber: You think so?
Editor Eddie: Think so? I know so. I heard some train crashes were bad in Europe lately. And you two were so lucky to survive that crash. Were you two hurt badly?
Cucumber: I wouldn't say badly, But we were concussed for a bit.
Editor Eddie: Ouch. But thank you for showing me those pictures, and the footage.
Pickles: So... you're not mad?
Editor Eddie: Mad? I'm flabbergasted to hear such profanity during a near death experience. But I'll take it.
Cucumber, Pickles & Editor Eddie all giggle.
Next up, they get sent to Elephanta Caves, India for photos of the caves and find artifacts.
The End.
