Author's Note: So, even though this story is still in-progress, these first chapters are absolutely awful. Honestly. It was in this very story where someone pointed out in a review my grammar mistakes, and I grew to write better. So, flinch inwardly and make it through the first chapters, and once you get to recent chapters, I hope you all like what you read. You'll defintely see some sort of improvement, even if the writing is still terrible, at the very least.

"What Happens in the Caribbean, Stays in the Caribbean"
Chapter One
"You finally got one?" Amber asked her best friend, Jessie.
Jessie flashed the replica medallion, from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", proudly. She had bought it online and she hadn't took it off since receiving it in the mail two days ago. "You bet. And guess what else?"
Jessica Montgomery and Amber Reece have been best friends since first grade, at least. They were thirteen now, in the eighth grade. When they had gone to see the movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean" together, they had walked out of the movie theater obsessed fans. Jessica in love with Captain Jack Sparrow and Amber in love with Will Turner.
Now Amber answered her friend's question with a question of her own. "What?"
"I got you one!" Jessie reached into her pocket and pulled out another medallion, looking exactly like the one she wore around her neck.
"No way!" Amber took the medallion form Jessie and slipped it over her own neck. She looked at it fondly. On the front of the medallion, it had the skull -just like the movie's medallion. When you turned it over, the medallion had "Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean" on it -different from the back of the original. It was much lighter than most would think; because it wasn't real gold as the one in the movie was.
She looked at it a moment longer before looking up and grinning at Jess. "Oh, thank you!" She hugged her friend tightly.
"Amber, my bones, you're crushing them."
Immediately, Amber's arms dropped down to her sides. "Sorry. Anyway, thank you...again"
Jessie waved away her friend's gratitude with a flick of her wrist. "Ah, I knew you would want one." She grinned at Amber, "Better buy you your own than wait for you to try and steal mine."
Jessie joined in when Amber laughed. That was the way it was with them; when one laughed, the other one had to laugh with them. They couldn't help it; they laughed too much. If there was such a thing.
"Amber! Your mom's here!" Jessie's mom, Carly, called from the bottom of the steps. The two girls were
upstairs in Jessie's room. "Hurry up! She wants to get home so you can get packed!"
"That's right!" Amber jumped up from the spot in Jessie's bed were she had previously been flopped down. "We're leaving for that vacation tomorrow!"
"Oh, yea!" Jessie exclaimed, remembering the vacation that Amber's family and her family had been planning to go on together for months. "We're going to the Caribbean for an entire month!"
"Can you believe it?" Amber asked as she grabbed her jacket and ran out Jessie's bedroom door, calling as she did. "We'll be real pirates!"
I like the sound of that. Jessie thought as she pulled down her bag from the closet. She had to get packed too. They were leaving for the airport tomorrow afternoon, when Jessie and Amber's last day of school ended.
"Real pirates..." Jessie muttered again, throwing random clothes from her floor into the yellow duffel. "Real pirates..."
