Ahh and here we begin again but something has changed. The girls aren't the same teeny bopping fans they were three years ago. Yes three years. They are now facing the realities of college and the pressure of senior exams. But the summer has returned and they take one last trip to the Beach House where it all started. Have their obsessions of pirates disappeared over all the years of application deadlines and final exams?
Doubt it. CHICKA CHICKA YEAH!
Happy to say again, I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest.
Chelsea: 5 6" Dirty blonde hair cut in a razor bob that fits her so well, has developed a lasting tan from tanning sessions with her mother, is completely obsessed with her new boyfriend Justin, and is currently 17.
Xio: 5 4" Not much changed. Dark brown hair still cut past her shoulders with emo bangs, though she wishes she could do highlights without looking like a complete fool, and takes pride in wearing nothing but her glasses.19.
Alexia: 5 5" Dark brown hair cut at shoulder's length not a centimeter more, with additional layering and bangs. Tan is killer and she still depends on her purple plastic glasses and has just turned 18.
Alexia and Xio were leaning against the railing on the patio looking out at the waves pounding the sand. The sun was beginning to set which meant they had an hour or so before it got completely dark. Chelsea came running up from the kitchen with a champagne bottle in one hand and three champagne glasses in the other.
"Drinks all around!" She announced trying for a Scottish accent but getting a bit of a cross between a British and Polish one. Xio helped her out by taking the champagne glasses from her so she could apply pressure to the bottles top.
"May I ask why, after being here for no more than two hours, we are even having drinks?" Alexia asked skeptically but still smiling at the fact that Chelsea had chosen her favorite alcoholic beverage, champagne, than the usual vodka and coke.
"To celebrate your birthday of course!" Chelsea cheered as cork top went flying like a rogue firework at a Fourth of July display and frizzy champagne burst over mouth of the bottle and onto her shoes. Xio, with ninja like abilities, caught the top and placed it on the coffee table.
"Nice shot." Alexia laughed taking a glass from Xio so Chelsea could fill it. Once the glasses were filled Chelsea raised hers in a toast.
"To the bomb diggity-ist birthday girl around!" She smiled clinking her glass against Alexia and Xio's.
"Yes, to the girl who has looked forward to her eighteenth birthday ever since the first time she saw one of those call if you're eighteen years or older infomercials." Xio tipped her glass to Alexia who sipped from hers.
"Why thank you, thank you!" Alexia took a grand bow and Chelsea clapped her hands.
"Oh! I almost forgot." Chelsea reached behind her and pulled out a small wrapped present. Xio raised an eyebrow at her.
"Uhh… Chelsea did you have that in your bra strap?" Xio asked pointing at the small present. When Chelsea nodded Alexia laughed.
"She gets that from me. Good girl." She petted Chelsea hair the way she liked and took the present from her. Xio watched as her sister ripped the wrapping from the present like an excited five year old. Alexia screamed when she realized what she was holding.
"Pirate of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest and At Worlds End!" She started doing the cabbage patch with a DVD case in each hand.
"Yeah. Since we hadn't bought At Worlds End yet I figure we should. And I do owe you a new Dead Mans Chest because of what happened to the other one." Chelsea said bashfully digging the tip of her shoes into a knot in the patio floor. Xio slapped an arm around her shoulders and shook her a little bit.
"It's okay. Who knew those cases were so flammable." Xio reassured Chelsea as Alexia fired up the DVD player. Xio stopped her.
"Do you think it'll happen again?" Alexia looked over her shoulder to her sister.
"I don't know. But there's only one way to find out." Alexia grinned and hit the eject button, placing Dead Man's Chest on the rack cautiously.
"Let the games begin." Alexia hopped onto the couch and fished under the cushions for the DVD remote.
"Hey. Where do you guys hide the remote?" Xio was about to answer her sister when the DVD player started playing the movie. Chelsea stared at the screen, dumbstruck.
"Thanks for that." Alexia stood on the couch and gestured for Xio and Chelsea to join her.
"That right there wasn't us." Chelsea defending as she carefully made her way onto the couch. Alexia helped Xio up.
"Rave dance time!" Alexia shouted and started rave dancing. After three successful trips to a teen club the girls had perfected their rave dance. A lot of rolling you shoulders back, head bowed, and your hair swaying gently. But most important was that your drink never moved in your hand as you dance. Chelsea and Xio joined in as the previews flipped by and the opening music started. Chelsea, trying for a high kick without spilling her drink, tripped backwards and the couch rocked dangerously on its two back feet.
"Watch it Chelsea." Xio warned but Alexia joined Chelsea in rocking the couch.
"Come on Xio. Live a little." Alexia elbowed her in the ribs.
"Big finish!" She squatting down and prepared to jump.
"One." Chelsea squatted down with Alexia.
"Come on Alexia." Xio whined but Alexia shook her head.
"Two."
"Just like last time Xio. Do it!" Chelsea demanded.
"THREE!" Alexia shouted and all three girls jumped just as the opening music for Dead Mans Chest kicked it up a notch. When they landed the couch rocketed backwards and off the deck. A familiar feeling came over the girls as the scene around them vanished. They waited patiently for their backs to hit the silky soft san of the Caribbean Beach just like so many summers ago but they never did.
"Alexia Xio!" Chelsea screamed but it was so faint Alexia could barely hear her.
"Guys?" She shouted but no one answered her this time.
So the girls are on their way back. I just can't wait! Yay! Reviews are much appreciated, as many as you want to post. And tell your friends of my crazy story.
