Hi, everyone! School kept me from working on any more stories, but I am back with two more complete stories, finishing up the Go to the Movies spoofs on the Pirates of the Caribbean films. As I have said before, I did not have the time to write out these stories. My sister and I came up with the ideas, she wrote them out, and I edited them. I am uploading them on my account because she does not have one. Although I was involved in creating the stories, please think of her as the author. She is a talented writer.

Enough chit chat. Here is the cast that will be featured in this story, followed by the first chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

"Isn't it amazin' to think that Cap'n Cardinal and Red-Eyed Beck have been married for six months already? Time has been just flyin' past!" Nora exclaimed to Wally Nipperkin as they were taking a break from building the church.

"It sure has been flying. I'm just wondering when the next marriage is gonna happen. I mean, Mimosa and Allison have been courting for a while now!" Wally remarked after taking a large gulp of water.

"The church is coming along really well!" Muggins exclaimed as he walked up. "You guys—er, and you too of course, Nora—have been working really hard."

"Ha ha, thanks, Muggins," Nora smiled politely.

Some of the womenfolk had requested that a church be built on Jakeston. They felt that their faith was suffering without one and that a church would make the island more civilized. Captain Cardinal was the foreman of the building process, but Wally was the brain behind it all. It wasn't going to be an elaborate project: just one large room and a slightly smaller one for the pastor to live in. They had been building the church for two months already; only one wall and the roof were left to be built.

"Alright, everybody, time to go home!" Jake directed. "It's getting dark out, and I'm sure you all would like to get to your dinner tables. Be back here tomorrow after breakfast!" After making sure everything was put away properly, Jake walked home. He was struck with the mixed smell of overcooked chicken and slightly burnt biscuits when he walked through his front door.

"Welcome back home, Jake!" Becky called out from the kitchen. "Dinner is almost all on the table!" Becky, still perfecting her cooking skills as a part of being a good wife to Jake, had his favorite dinner waiting for him. She had another reason on her mind besides being a good wife, however. She had some very important news that she had to announce.

Jake sat down at the table and waited for Becky to come in with the rest of the food. "Well, dinner looks less burned than yesterday's meal," he forced a smile.

"Really? Oh, good," she said as she put a perfectly baked pie on the table. "I hate that there is no way for me to know exactly how much longer I need to cook something. It's so hard to tell. Maybe one day I'll stop burning everything." Becky cut Jake off just as he was about to speak, "Now, before you say anything about the pie, I did not make it. Allison made it for me."

"Ah, that would explain it," Jake smirked. "I knew you couldn't have been able to whip that up so perfectly."

"Well, I'm still practicing!" Becky stuck her tongue out at him and sat down. "Let's eat before it all gets cold."

"Do you think you're finally better from that bad water you drank last week?" Jake asked after they were done eating.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better. But, I don't think it was from bad water."

"What could it have been from then?"

"How would you react if I said that it might be because I am going to be having a baby?"

Jake's jaw dropped. "I…would be shocked, yet really happy!" He got up and went to Becky's side. "How long have you known?"

"Well, maybe about a month or two, but I think I am four months along."

"You've known for that long?! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I didn't want to tell you right away because I wasn't sure if I really was and I knew you would tell me no more journeys off Jakeston, and I wanted to be able to still have fun. I had to tell you now because I'm starting to show."

"Wow, I can't believe it. We're gonna have to announce this to everybody tomorrow after Scully comes back in the afternoon. And you definitely aren't going on any more off-shore trips until the baby is born."

"May I just have one more trip out, please?" Becky pushed out her lower lip and batted her eyelashes.

"Mm, alright. One more, as long as it isn't too active, and you have to listen to me if I tell you not to do something."

"Fair deal!" Becky gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Meanwhile out in the streets of Jakeston, Allison was carrying a blanket out to a grassy knoll. Matthew Mimosa was walking next to her and carrying a picnic basket.

"Your strength has improved significantly since we began training," Matthew conversed as they walked onto the knoll.

"It has, thanks to your helping me so much. I feel a little bit more as if I could defend myself now." Allison said, then blushed slightly after she stumbled over rock. "I suppose I still have to work on my balance."

"It has been a pleasure helping you." He said as he helped her gain her balance. After Allison laid the blanket out on the ground, Matthew set the basket down and began helping her lay all of the food out. "Everything looks magnificent; especially that pie. I'm very happy that your cooking skills have come back to you these past six months."

Allison blushed again, this time from shame. "I-I'm sorry about that. It was wrong of me to purposefully burn your food those two years on your ship."

"I understand; in fact, I probably would have done the same thing if someone treated me the way I treated you. And that I am sorry for."

"No need to apologize anymore. But I do plan to continue making up for my mistakes by cooking you as many good meals as I can. It looks as if I am already helping you put more meat on your bones."

"I'm not that skinny. I'm rather muscular I would say."

Allison giggled a little. "Okay, whatever you think. Let's eat this food before it gets too cold."

"You're quite right I suppose," Matthew agreed and began to eat.

"The stars are so beautiful tonight!" Allison exclaimed while they were finishing their pieces of pie. "They look as if they were dancing."

"Indeed, they are," Matthew agreed. "Allison, do you think that we have gotten to know each other pretty well now?"

"Yes, I would say that we have. After all we have known each other for about two and a half years, even if we have only spent the last six months really getting to know one another."

"Good. Then would you be willing to," Matthew pulled out a sapphire ring, "marry me now?"

"Oh, Matthew, I was hoping that was what you were going to say!" Allison threw her arms around him. "Yes, I would love to marry you. I have been wondering the past couple of months if you were ever going to mention your proposal again."

"Well, I just didn't want to push you into it. I wanted to make sure that you were ready on your own time."

"And that was a very honorable thing for you to do; thank you. I cannot wait to tell Becky and Nora tomorrow!"

"How soon do you think you want to get married?" Mimosa asked, trying to refrain from jumping around and whooping for joy.

"At least after the church is finished, and we have a real pastor. I would love to be able to have a proper wedding. I hope you don't mind having to wait even longer."

"It will be just fine, I'm sure," he assured and gave her a kiss.

Early the next morning, Nora was waiting by the dock for Scully's return. Captain Cardinal had sent Scully with a small crew on a week long voyage for more lumber and other materials for the building of the church. Nora always enjoyed the bustle of a ship returning from her voyage: the man in charge constantly barking orders at everybody, the men unloading all of the new cargo, and the joyful sounds of families reuniting with their loved one ringing through the air.

The ship finally arrived about an hour after Nora arrived at the dock. She waved to the people on deck of the ship who were lowering the sails. Men began to unload the ship of its contents, and Nora helped direct where the lumber and other materials were to go at the church site. After everything was unloaded, Scully began striding off the ship.

"Hey there, stranger! Welcome back home!" Nora cheerfully called out when she saw him coming. "How'd your voyage go?"

"Hey there yourself," he responded with a slight grin. "It went very well; we were able to find everything we needed. How has everything on Jakeston been?"

"It's been pretty quiet here. The church is coming along great though. I would say we have at least a month left of construction."

"That's good to hear. Well, I have a matter to discuss with Captain Cardinal, but I'll probably be down to help with the church in an hour or so."

"Well, you won't be seein' me there, 'cause I have to train Muggins this morning. But I'll probably come down to the church in a couple of hours. I'll catch you later." Nora nodded her goodbye and walked to the training ring where Muggins was waiting.

For the past six months, Nora had been training Muggins in sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat. He improved slightly over time, but he still couldn't manage to master the trade. Nora was beginning to lose hope that he would ever succeed. She had a feeling that he was holding back because he was too afraid of hurting her during practice. Today, however, she decided would be the day that she would break Muggins of his fears.

"Alright, Muggins!" Nora marched right up in front of him, destroying the doodle he had been drawing in the dirt, which in turn caused poor Muggins to nearly fall over. "Ya ready for training?"

"H-hi, Nora," Muggins stuttered. "I-I guess so."

"No, not 'I guess so'! You had better be well sure! Today you are gonna come outta this training a different person! You are gonna be a pirate!" Nora practically dragged him over to the wrestling ring. "First, we're gonna start with hand-to-hand combat."

"Yes, Ma'am!" Muggins responded, very much afraid of what she had planned for that day.
