Arghtober 11: Justice
When the Speedies found out that Purpure and the Lotus Crew played them like a fiddle, they were furious! Even Erica wasn't in the mood to joke around at that point.
Purpure's running away from the long arm of the law (and long legs to boot).

Arghtober 4: Love the Sea
“We're best friends forever!”
If Purpure and Lizzie lived in the 21st century instead of the 19th, they'd be Y2K besties for one thing.
My take on loving the sea comes from the fact that good friends are also a kind of love worth pursuing.
