So. The long awaited sequel finally reveals itself, eh? DX I'm sorry it took me so insanely long to post it. Truth be told, I haven't been writing very much lately...But, good news. I just got a computer, and I should get the internet very soon, so I will hopefully be able to update more often. That is, if I start writing more...Reviews always help. They're like inspiration, they keep me going.
Also, if you're looking at this and you haven't read Since When Do My Wishes Come True? you may want to go read that first. I will do my best to explain things as I go, but this IS a sequel. Anywho, please enjoy.
(Original title, eh? XD I couldn't think of anything...But suggestions would be appreciated. Please and thank you. If I come up with a better title, I shall indeed change it.)
Since When Do HER Wishes Come True?
Chapter 1: Story Time
"Because you and I are alike, and there will come a moment when you have a chance to show it. To do the right thing."
"I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by."
Sequels are wondrous things, are they not? They're awesome. Just when you think something is over, bam! It's just beginning. Of course, not all sequels are great; some suck.
But I had high hopes for this one. Dead Man's Chest. I couldn't wait! Neither could my two best friends, Scott Jinx and Kairi Jacobson. Scott and I had been friends for as long as I could remember. We'd tried dating once, back when we were fifteen – three years ago – but it hadn't worked out. So we just went back to being friends. Kairi had moved to my town last year. She was completely obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean, as I had been.
Had been. That's right. I was no longer obsessed with it, although I did still love it with a passion…Well, there was a character, actually, that I loved more than the movie itself. His name starts with J and ends with ack. And I don't know about love, but I know he likes me. A lot.
Kairi, on the other hand, is in love with Commodore James Norrington. She loves writing, so of course she writes fan fictions, all of which are JamesOC – her being the OC. She's a really good writer, too.
"Hayden!" Kairi squealed as the movie started.
We sat in the packed movie theater at the midnight showing. Everyone cheered as the lights dimmed. My heartbeat quickened and I waited for the previews to end. Kairi sat on my right, Scott on my left. When the previews finished, water covered the screen. Kairi gripped my arm tightly, clearly very excited. My heart began pounding as the movie title rose from the depths before fading away. All the while, the sound of a heart beating pulsed in the background.
The picture changed; rain then poured. Teacups were drowning. Music sheets, dripping, clutched to the stands, blowing in the breeze. A bouquet became visible, and as the camera rose, Elizabeth was shown.
We continued watching, completely engrossed in what was going on. They're being arrested! On their wedding day! Where's James?! Where's Jack?! Who exactly is this Cutler Beckett?! Yes, it's Captain Jack Sparrow!!
Kairi and I were whispering back and forth, providing our own commentary. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Scott shake his head as he quietly laughed at his two crazy friends. Hee hee.
"James!" Kairi whisper-screamed the instant she heart his voice for the first time. She didn't even have to see him to freak. She sighed, staring at the screen. "I wish…" she trailed off with another sigh.
I glanced over at Scott, seeing him sit up a little straighter. "You wish?" I questioned. "Care to finish that thought?"
"Why bother? It'll never come true anyways," she reasoned. Her eyes didn't leave the screen. They stayed on her beloved James.
"Oh, come on. You never know," I tried. I was inwardly grinning. Oh, God. This was perfect! My heartbeat sped up as Jack's face appeared, not only in my mind, but in front of me as well.
"Whatever. Fine. I wish we could be in the movie." She turned to me. "Happy?" She raised an eyebrow when she saw my grin. "Oh, like you've never wished that before."
"Scott?" I said, spinning in my stationary seat.
He smiled at me, nodded, and said, "One pit stop first."
"What?" Kairi questioned, confused.
Then darkness enveloped us. It had been dark before, of course. I mean, we had been in a movie theater. But the glow from the screen – and the screen itself – disappeared. I faintly heard Kairi scream as the sensation of falling and floating overwhelmed me.
We landed in Kairi's bedroom, falling to the floor. "What the f –"
"Language!" I warned, cutting her off. "You can't say f –"
"In a Disney movie," Scott interrupted.
I smiled sheepishly. "Exactly." I looked around Kairi's room, which admittedly looked a lot like mine. It was covered in posters. But the majority of hers were of James Norrington, of course.
"What the Hell are you guys talking about? We're not in a Disney movie. And damn it, how'd we get to my room?! We're missing the movie! Unless…" She paused, a horrified expression crossing her face. "Unless I fell asleep in the theater and this is just all some psycho dream."
I laughed. I had to! "Of course it's not a dream!" I told her.
"That's what Dream-Hayden would say!" she accused, pointing at me. "Ok, fine," she said when I rolled my eyes. "What the frick is going on then?" She looked at me, then Scott, her gaze lingering suspiciously. "Well?"
"Go ahead, Scotty," I told him, knowing I was going to cut in at the best part.
"Yeah, yeah. Alright, Kai. Here's the truth – I'm…I'm a –"
"Fairy!" I interrupted. Oops…hee hee. He was explaining…Riiight. It didn't matter, though. The look on Kairi's face would've been the same anyway. It clearly said, "What. The. Frick."
"How about we explain it once we get there," he suggested.
"What are you two talking about?" Kairi demanded, crossing her arms.
"You'll see," I told her.
"Ready?" Scott asked us.
I nodded and the room began to fade as Kairi yelled, "What the Hel –" Before we could see anything, we heard water – waves, as they lapped against a ship. Said ship creaked or groaned occasionally, but I knew her to be a worthy vessel.
"Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum," said a gruff voice. He laughed, and a bell tolled right after.
Mist sprayed over us as we got our vision back. Moonlight spilled over the deck of the Black Pearl. Gibbs stood in front of us, yielding a bottle of rum. He eyed me, finally speaking, "You again." I felt flattered that he'd remember me.
Birds cawed overhead and we all looked up to watch them as they passed.
The four of us stood in silence until he asked, "Where'd ye come from?"
I looked back and forth between my friends. Scott appeared calm; Kairi's mouth hung open, staring at Gibbs. "Um, we just decided to drop in. Say hi. You know. I mean, it's been so long – I missed you." I smiled at him, wondering how long it would be before Jack got here.
"That didn't answer my question," he said slowly, shaking his head.
"Hayden. Answers. Now." Kairi seemed to have found her voice. She was staring at Gibbs. "Is…is this real?" She walked over to him and poked his cheek. "Feels real enough…"
"Gibbs?" I said. He turned to me. "We'll be in Captain Sparrow's quarters for a bit. I think it's story time…" Gibbs just narrowed his eyes as Kairi and Scott followed me into Jack's cabin. I sat at his desk, leaning back to rest my feet on it. Kairi, still wide eyed at everything, sat on the bed, after a moment's hesitation. Scott stood between us.
And I told her my story, the whole tale of my adventure in this world. Scott explained about his power. He gave a demonstration too (in which he turned my hair blue…)
"So let me get this straight," Kairi began. "Scott…is a fairy – without wings. He can grant wishes…So when I wished we were in the movie, he made my wish come true. Now we're a part of the movie?"
"Correct," Scott confirmed, nodding.
Kairi was silent a moment. I stood up, walked over to her, and pinched her arm. "Ow!" she yelled, slapping at my hand. "Ok, ok. It's not a dream. It's real…It's really real…" she trailed off. "So, so I'll get to meet James?!" She squealed. "Omigod!!" Her hazel eyes lit up. She would get to meet the love of her life, just as I'd gotten to meet mine.
That's when we heard feet shuffling out on deck. My heart leapt. Was it Jack? Would he still like me? Was I different? Well…yes, my platinum blonde hair was longer, going past my shoulders. I…I wasn't wearing piratey clothes!
I turned to Scott urgently. "Neh!" by the look on his face, he didn't understand. Neither, apparently, did Kairi. I sighed, hanging my head a moment before saying, "Pi-ra-tey clothes! Hurry!"
He rolled his eyes, waving his hand toward me as he said, "There ya go." On all three of us appeared a loose, white shirt, vest (I had faded blue, Scott had green, and Kairi violet), breeches, and boots.
I quickly hugged him, then grabbed Kairi's hand and dragged her after me as I threw open the door and ran on deck, just in time to hear Gibbs say, "Not quite according to plan…"
--
There ya go. Short, yes...sorry. I just wanted to get it out. I feel bad I waited so long. Chapters will hopefully get longer. Reviews will be muchly appreciated.
