Chapter 1 : The Time Portal

The three members of the East India Fangirl Company piled into their tiny corner of the band room headquarters for a secret meeting. Evangeline took her usual position on the inside followed by Sally. Brad took his seat right on the outside of the enclosed corner. They held their ceremonial flag of paper, tape and a color guard pole high as they made ready to begin their meeting of the East India Fangirl Company, plus Brad.

"Hoist the colors Sally and let us join hands." This was how Evangeline started all of their meetings. After Sally leaned their handcrafted flag against the lockers, Evangeline continued. "We come together today to talk of summer plans for the new Harry Potter book and movie."

Evangeline reached into her band and pulled out the 4th HP movie and 6th book. She passed them to Sally who held them in her lap. Brad pulled out the log sheets and read aloud.

"Today's ceremonial saying is." He cleared his throat. "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard."

Evangeline and Sally snickered at his strange monotone voice as he read the saying.

"Now, Sally, will you please lead us in song so we may begin our meeting." Evangeline tried to sound serious which just made her and Sally laugh harder.

Sally composed herself and began to sing.

The King and his men

Stole the Queen from her bed

And bound her in her bones

The seas be ours

And by the powers

Where we will we'll roam

Evangeline and Brad joined in for the chorus.

Yo, Ho, haul together

Hoist the colors high

Heave, ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Brad did a small drum roll on the wall and they all pretended to be hung. After a few moments of silence they all burst out laughing. Then Sally continued with the song. She sang the next two verses solo and for the final chorus, all three sand.

Yo, Ho, haul together

Hoist the colors high

Heave, ho, thieves and beg-

Suddenly, wind blew through the band room, swirling around them. Evangeline and Sally held onto each other, screaming, while Brad fought for the flying papers.

The wind was so strong it pulled them out of the corner and sent them flying around the room.

Then, everything stopped and the room went black.

All of their eyes were sealed shut, and they were all holding onto each other.

Brad was the first who dared to open his eyes. A shocked gasp was audible in the silence. Evangeline opened her's next with a sharp squeak. Sally didn't dare open her's.

"Evie!" Sally called for Evangeline who had stood and began walking around. "Evie! What happened?"

"Open your eyes, Sal." Was all Evie could say.

Sally took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She let out a long scream when she saw she was face to face with Harry Potter and Will Turner.

Sally stood and looked around her. It was nighttime and they were on a ship. All around her were people from her books and movies. She spun around, running into Jack Sparrow. She screamed again and ran to Evangeline and Brad.

"What…. Is… going… on here!?" Sally's voice was shaky but stern.

Jack Sparrow was the first to speak out of the equally stunned group. "I might be askin' ye the same question, lass. You be on me ship."

Evangeline spoke next. "You mean to say, we're on the Black Pearl? The real Black Pearl?"

"Aye, lass. Couldn't be any realer."

She nearly swooned but was caught by a man who spoke to Jack. "What's going on here, Sparrow? Hostages?"

"Nay, stowaways, Commodore." With this said, Evie, Sally and Brad turned to the man. "Commodore?" they say in unison. Norrington nodded to prove their assumptions correct.

Now Evie did swoon right into the lap of Draco Malfoy, this making her jump up in complete and utter revulsion.

Sally's eyes had been shifting between Harry and Will for quite some time and it had seemed that Brad was sneaking off with Elizabeth below deck.

Will, and all his sexiness, spoke next. "Are you stowaways on this ship?" He seemed to be speaking directly to Sally. As if actually being spoken to, Sally answered. "No, I don't even know how we got here. We were just singing and having a meeting when.. Well I don't even know how to explain what happened." She looked to Evie for help but received none. "The wind blew and everything went dark and now… we're here."

She waited for hysterical laughter but heard none.
Will looked awkwardly at Jack as Jack stared directly at Sally. Still, no hysterical laughter.

Sally, Brad and Evie waited for someone to snicker or giggle. Something!!

"Ummm… are you ever going to say anything or are you just going to stare at us..?" Brad was utterly annoyed. We had interrupted his rendezvous with Elizabeth.

Jack looked back at Will and spoke. "The prophecy…" Will nodded. "I know but why them? They seem so… odd."

Sally and Evie took this as an offense, Brad would have too if it weren't for his constant tonsil hockey game with Elizabeth below deck. "Excuse me, sir." It was Evie. Smoke was almost visible from her ears and her eyes flashed a bright and dangerous red. "We may be weird and odd but we take pride in who we are. BAND GEEKS UNITE!" She yelled into the night. Sally joined her but they lacked Brad but he was busy so no one cared.

Will and Jack took a few steps back. They finally stopped screaming and stared around them. The Harry Potter group cheered and the Pirates group looked freaked out. Evie and Sally smiled.
