Ok... what would happen if I got sucked into PIRATES!!!?
Chapter One...
Ia took the disk from the case and put it in the DVD Player.
She plopped down onto the couch and took the bowl of popcorn and started eating as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl started. She liked the part where you saw Jack for the first time... and Older Will!
She thought about how sweet it would be to be in Pirates just like Jack! She'd have the Black Pearl and the monkey too.
It came up to the part where young Elizabeth looked out and saw the Black Pearl sail out into the fog. She shut her eyes and Ia did at the same exact time and when she opened them, she was treading water out in the Caribbean.
"What the?" she asked as a small boat appeared. There was a man on it.
"Who'r you?" he asked, propping his foot up onto the side of the ship and leaning onto his knee. His long hair falling in his face.
Ia thought, since she was in Pirates, she should use her Pirate name.
"Alkali." she said strongly.
"Alkali? Odd name... ah well," he said, not making any motion to help her up into the boat. "Why you out here without a ship?" he asked.
"I just woke up here." she said, being honest.
"Ah." he said as if he's heard that a thousand times.
"Can I come up?" she asked angrily as she tried to keep her head above water.
"Fine." he said, annoyed as he helped her up into his little boat.
When she got up there, she noticed what she was wearing wasn't what she was originally wearing. Now she was wearing black pants with the same boots as the man. A white shirt that sewn to fit close and snug and a Navy blue jacket like the man's. Her red hair was kept back by a bright red bandanna and at her waist was a cutlass and a pistol and a compass. She opened the compass and saw that it pointed towards land.
"Are we headin North?" she asked, looking towards the land.
"No, North's to your left." the man said and Alkali turned to look North.
"Sweet." she whispered to herself as she sat down at the bow and the man climbed up the mast to the top of the sail and stood there. Holding onto the tiny tiny crow's nest.
"Hey, Captain Jack! I've always been wondering, why you up there?" Alkali called out to, of course, Captain Jack Sparrow.
"How do you know who I am? You're... what? Ten?" he asked.
"I'M FIVETEEN!" Alkali screamed.
"Alright alright. I'm up here so I can see better."
"Oh. Since you're a Captain and you're looking for a ship, I join your crew!" she said, smirking.
Jack stared down at her. "No way is a little girl joining my crew!" he yelled in horror.
"I join your crew! Trust me, you're going to have a Hell of a time finding a crew." she said. Not technically lying, since he does have a hell of a time finding a crew eventually!
"Fine." he said, very very irritated right now.
"Excelent! Hey, that makes me First Mate!" she said.
"No, you're not First Mate." he said.
"WHY NOT!?" she yelled.
The two bickered till they realized that the boat was filling with water. Alkali had won, anyway.
As they tried to get the water out of the little boat, Jack noticed the three hanged Pirates and the sign. He took off his hat in respect and Alkali tried to follow, but was too busy trying to get the water out of the ship.
The merchants in all the ships in the port watched as Captain Jack and First Mate Alkali sailed to the dock standing on the top sail. They both stuck out their right leg and stepped onto the dock at the same time and walked down it. Jack in his drunk swagger and Alkali in a sort of strut.
"'Old up there, you!" he yelled at Jack and he turned around, looking innocent. Alkali looked a little menacing with her arms crossed. She knew what was going to happen.
"It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the docks, Cap'n. Gosh! And he shall need to know your name!" Alkali said, smiling politely and batting her eyelashes.
The man stared at her and Jack stared at her too. He collected himself and said, "What do you sat to Three shillings... and we forget the name!"
The man hesitated for a bit and said, "Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith!"
Jack bid him adieu and went to reach for the small bag of coins when he saw them to be gone. He looked at Alkali who held up her hand and waved her fingers at him. Around her middle finger was the cord to the small bag of coins which had been hidden in her hand during the predicament with the Dock manager. He smirked and went on his way, Alkali following behind him.
--
They walked around towards the fort while Jack asked questions.
"How'd you come to be out in the water that far out?"
"How did you?" Alkali said, avoiding the fact that she wasn't from that world.
"I was sailing! You just didn't have a ship."
"Oh. I guess I fell asleep at the dock and fell in and floated out there."
"Oh." Jack said, supposing she had gotten drunk or something like that.
"Why are we looking for a ship here?" Alkali asked, looking around and seeing the fort where she knew Norrington and Elizabeth were.
"How did you know... never mind. They have nice ships here!" Jack said as they came around the bend and they became quiet. They tried to quickly pass the guards without them noticing but it failed.
"'Old up there. This dock is off limits to civilians." the man said, standing up as straight as possible.
"We're terribly sorry, we did not know. If we see one, we shall inform you immediately!" Jack said. Alkali standing behind him, looking as adorable as possible with her big brown eyes and her lower lip quivering.
Jack tried to side-step them but failed, again.
"Apparently there's some high town and fancy up to do at the fort... how is it that two upstanding gentlemen as yourselves... did not merit an invitation?" Alkali asked slyly.
"S-someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians." the same guy said.
"But that ship out there makes this ship look like crap!" Alkali yelled in frustration.
The two British solders looked at each other in confusion.
"She means that that ship makes this ship a bit weaker, don't you think?"
"Oh, the Dauntless is the powers in these waters, sure enough. But no ship can match the Interceptor for speed!" he said a bit smugly.
"I've heard of one, suppose to be very fast- NIGH uncatchable... The Black Pearl!" Jack said with an air of mystery to it.
The other guy started to laugh, "There's no real ship, that can match the Interceptor!"
"The Black Pearl is a real ship."
"No, no it's not."
"Yes it is, I've seen it!"
"You've seen it? You haven't seen it!"
"Yes I have!"
Jack and Alkali rolled their eyes and let them get on with their slightly annoying and stupid argument.
"You mean to tell me that you've seen a ship, with black sails. That's crewed by the damned and captained by a man SO EVIL, that Hell itself... spat him back out!"
"No," he said simply.
"Right-"
"But I have seen a ship with black sails!"
"Oh, and not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl, is that what you're sayin?"
The man smiled, nodded and said, "No!" proudly. In the background, you could see Jack and Alkali climb onto the Interceptor.
"Right... it couldn't possibly be any other ship than the..."
Seeing Jack steering the wheel all serenely and Alkali in the Crows Nest caused them to spring up and jump aboard the ship.
And till next time... I really have to go and do my Drivers Homework (SUCKS!!!)
