"EEEEERRRIIICCC!"Daley called from the other side of the camp where he could hear her loud screams."I need you help!"She called.

He mumbled something to himself as he walked to her."What?"He asked in an annoying voice.

"Get that coconut for me?"She asked like a little child and adding a puppy dog face.

"Fine.'He reached for it and gave it to her."Thanks."She said shooing him away.

He walked away slowly.

LATER THAT DAY

Lex had an iea of making another obsticle course. He told everyone to meet at 5 pm to get started.

Later that afternoon, Eric was relaxing on the beach when he wondered when he should start heading to the competition. He searched for a watch and saw it was 5:30. He was half an hour late! He quickly dropped the watch and ran up the beach and about to head into the jungle when all of a sudden he heard something behind him. He quickly turned his head. When he did that, he couldn't see what was in his way, and SMACK!

His face right smack into a tree branch as he fell to the ground.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?"A young lady cried running towards him.

He sat up as soon as he got there."Yeah Im okay.'He said rubbing his bruised face, thinking it was probably Melissa.

But when he looked at her, focusing his eyes on her and away from the sun, he saw that it was not her.In fact, it was not any of the girls on the island. But a mystery woman. He was speechless, and his jaw popped open.

"Uhhmm..."Was all he managed to say.

"Oh, sorry I didn't introduce myself to you. Im Elizabeth."She held out her hand to help him up.

She appeared to be in her young years such as 20 or so. He grabbed it and he was pulled up.

"Who might you be?"She asked him.

Puzzled he answered."Im uh, im Eric."He said to her staring at her.

"Nice to meet you Eric. May I ask you now, what you are doing here?"

"Long story."

"Long story short.."

"School trip, crash, castaway."He said confused.

"Well that is terribly bad dear boy." He only nodded.

"Well, I need your help."

Those words confused him in more than he could think possible. He was the one needing help from her.

"With what?'He asked puzzled again.

"Well. Its complicated."She managed to say as he repsonded like her.

"Long story short..."

"Oh, right. Me, Will, and Jack are looking for a man named Barbossa. He is a bad guy as you could say." She looked to see if he was catching anything of this."And he has teamed up with another bad guy Davy Jones. And we need to stop them. And were looking for a crew. Think you could help?"
Eric stood there, not understanding anything."So your saying, you want me to be on your crew and fight the bad guy?"He asked.

"Exactly."

"How long will it take?"He rather would do that than do a lousy competition any day.

"Depends."He shrugged.

"Uhhmm...Okay. i got nothing better to do."

"How exactly old are you?" She asked.

"Im 16."He answered as she only watched him.

"Fair enough. Come with me. Ill explain everything on the way."

"sure."He walked behind. Do you think the others will mind that he was on a great pirate expedition? Maybe!

"Wait. Can't you just like..oh I dont know..take me home after all this."He asked casually.

He stopped before getting into the big ship, The Black Pearl, as he looked at it in awe.

"Possibly, now come on.'She grabbed his hand.

"But what about my friends?"He asked again.
"Theres more of you?" She asked turning to him.He nodded.

"How many?"

"6 more people."He asnwered.

"Where you from?"

"Los angeles."

"Thats pretty far away sonny. But if you help us, I can gurantee to try to convince someone to give you all a ride home."

"Okay."He shrugged. This was gonna be a fun adventure!

She stepped on board with Eric following. He had changed his mind. He figured this would have to do with real fighting and real danger. "Actually, i think ill just stay."He said backing away from the smelly pirates.

'Non sense,"Elizabeth said, pointing to him and another man. Two men quickly came and grabbed Eric and pulled him farther onto the deck.

"Follow me. Ill explain on the way." She walked into a small room, or a cabin.

He walked slowly behind her. She sat down motioning him to sit down, so he did as he was told.

"Well, it all started when ..."Her voice trailed on for about 20 minutes when she finally stopped and asked."Are you following this?"

He only stared confused. Then he nodded."No."

She sighed."Do you want me to start over?"

He answere more quickly."No!"

"Okay then come and meet the captain and everyone else." She grabbed his arm and led him out of the room and up the steps.

"Jack, this is Eric. He will be joining our crew." She showed Eric to Jack.

He walked over to Eric and inspected him.
"Welcome aboard!'He said after a while.

Eric made a small smile hiding his real feeling.Great! What the heck did I just get myself into?

Jack pulled him away from Elizabitch and showed him the wheel.

"Like my ship?"

"I guess so."

"Thanks. Oh,Im Jack Sparrow, just in case you wanted to know who your captain was. Please call me Captain."

"Okay, Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Nah, on second thought, just call me Jack. Or captain. Whatever you like best."Jack stood there wobbly as ever, after drinking some rum.

"Want some?"He asked feeling drunk and woozy.

"Jack! Dont offer anything like dat to this poor young, adorable, boy! You ruin his healt and mind. And 'e be just like you. Just a filthy 'ol pirate."Said a woman with an usual accent, as she ran over and higged Eric so hard he had trouble breathing.

"Tia Dalma, please. Im trying to get acquanted with me mate, luv!"Jack said grabbing Eric away from her.

"Fine."She walked off.

"You got to excuse her, mate."He laughed and casually smacked Eric in the side which made him jump.

"Oh, there is thee young William. Why don't you say hello."Jack pushed him forward to Will as Eric said."HI."

"Hello there. You new?" Will asked shaking his hand. Eric nodded.
"Good to have you aboard Laddy."Gibbs said walking over to shake his hand too.

"Thanks."Eric responded to everyone's greeting, which was everyone on the ship.

"We ready to set off into our trip, cap'n!"Pintel yelled from below.

"Aye, off we go."Jack said opeing his compass.

Eric's eyes followed curiously as Jack moved around looking for a direction. He pointed to a way to east and said"That way!'He put away his compass."Now, get to it."He said as everyone rushed around.

Eric didn't know what to do. He only looked around for something to do, but Jack had called him into the cabin. Eric ran quickly to the door and walked in.

"So, would you like to know more about our little...trip?"Jack asked him.

"Sure."He said sitting down at the small table.

"Well get to that later. But first I need you to meet someone."

A shadow appeared on the wall, as a smelly old man walked out from another room. He was tall and his eyes a gross yellow. His hands very extremley and disgustingly dirty, as he showed them to him.

"This is Norrington. He was a commodore back in the day."Jack explained giving a laugh at him.

"pleased to meet you Eric.' Norrington help out his hand. Eric only faked a smile and a small laugh and only saig 'Hi" leaving his hand alone.

Norrington huffed and took back his hand."Norrigton can explain everything to you, mate."Jack walked out of the room, leaving Eric alone with the commodore. or should I say Com-odor?

"So...your new huh?"Comodor asked naturally sitting down.

"Yeah."Eric answered.

"Well, your sure in for a little adventure."
