In honor of national talk like a pirate day, here is a little extra snippet from my Calypso AU. :)
This is how Sam and Madeline end up married.
Sam groaned, he really needed to not listen to Toby when he said 'let's go get a pint'. Usually it ended up with the entire crew being down for a day. There was also that one time it resulted in many costly repairs to the Calypso. Needless to say to waking up hungover in a pile of his crew to a ship that was totally destroyed was not the shock of his lifetime. That was now.
"Who the hell are you?" She yelled. Who "She" was was not known to him at the time.
"Who the hell am I? Who the hell are you?"
"I asked-" She stared at something on the floor. "When did I get married?" Sure enough there was a ring on her hand, a nice one. A very nice one. A Very Nice Ring That Belonged To Sam's Grandmother. H subtly, and with much panic in his heart checked his left hand for a ring. Yep, there it was, a ring, a simple gold band.
"Uhhh." Yep. Panic.
"Did we get married last night?" There was panic in her voice.
"I think so. Actually, I know so."
"How do you know so?" she demanded.
"That is my Grandmothers ring." He gestured to the ring she was wearing.
"Oh. It's a beautiful ring." She watched the diamond glint in the light making it's way between the curtains. He nodded. He was married to a woman he didn't know, and he was captain to a fledgling pirate crew. Yeah, the ladies were lining up to marry him. "So, we're married. I should know your name."
At least she was trying to make the best of the situation. "Sam, yours?"
"Madeline."
"Madeline," he said, testing out her name, "we should go get something to eat."
There is the end, I will continue this later.
