A/N: I know this idea is so overused but I still never tire of it. Thanks go out to my wonderful beta, Alli (aka tearseternal). This story is set during the first movie.
Disclaimer: I OWN "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN"!!!!… Oh wait… I think Disney owns "POTC"….. crappers…..
Party Down at Port Royal!
"Ummmmmm… okay, I've got something. If you could live on any planet which one would you live on and why?"
"That's easy. I would live on the planet Earth because I
wouldn't be able to get a signal for my phone anywhere else!"
Dott laughed at her friend Laura's answer. They were playing one of their favourite games. They would take turns asking each other an "If you could…" question. The questions could be as crazy as they wanted them to be.
Dott sighed and wrapped the blanket around myself more tightly as she switched the phone from one ear to the other.
"Okay my turn," Laura said excitedly "If you could visit a movie, you know like get sucked into it, which movie would you visit."
Dott burst out laughing. "Are you kidding? I would so visit Pirates of the Caribbean!" Dott knew her obsession with Pirates of the Caribbean was over the top, but honestly, who can resist the charms of that movie.
Laura laughed too. "Typical. Oh, wait a second, my mom's yelling for me." Dott listened as Laura's mom told her to get off the phone and as Laura begged for a couple more minutes.
"Okay, I'm back. Are you coming to the Halloween party at Kev's tonight?"
"Ditto! His parties are always great. Are his parents going to be there?"
"Nope!"
Dott got a mischievous grin. "All the more reason to bring on the rum!"
"Ackk! Can you go more than 2 minutes without mentioning something from that movie?"
Dott pretended to think seriously about it. "Ummm.. wait, let me think about it… uhhhhh.. NO!" Laura had
never really understood her obsession with that movie. It's not that Laura didn't like the movie, it's just that Dott had posters, action figures, Lego sets, pillows, the movie and she could quote every line in it.
Scary, huh? With that kind of devotion to the movie, it's hard for others to say the same about themselves.
"Thought not. Well, I got to go now, see you there. Oh, wait!"
"What?"
"Is Brian coming with you?"
Dott tried to keep her voice monotone "Why do you like him?" That's a laugh and a half (corny saying, I know)
Laura coughed uncomfortably "Well, Dott you have to admit. You're brother is really, really hot."
"Ew! Ew! Ew! EWWW! I don't even want to think about it."
"Okay, forget I said anything. Let's just go and have a good time."
"Okay." Well, she just thinks he's hot, right? At least she doesn't want to go out with him. Ya, that's it. No need to get worked up.
Dott took a deep breath and pushed those thoughts from her mind. "See ya at Kevin's, Laura! PARTY ON GIRLFRIEND!" Dott put the phone down to the sound of her friend laughing. They had promised each other that, as seniors, they would have as much fun as they could this year. So far they were off to a good start.
Dott jogged up the stairs past the bathroom, and her brother's room into her room. The walls were red and so was the ceiling, except it had
little silver stars on it. Here room was a mess. Needless to say, she wasn't the neatest person around.
Dott glanced around her room, looking for her costume. She was so excited. Halloween was one of her favourite holidays. It was the only time of the year she could dress up as a pirate and not get strange looks. Now if only she could find her pirate attire.
"AHA!" She found it half buried under a bunch of magazines from 6 years ago (see what I mean about 'not so neat').
She left her jeans on figuring they would be alright and plus she didn't want to have to sew (which she happened to suck at) breeches. Over her tank top she then slipped on a wine red blouse that she had seen at a thrift store while window shopping last week and had bought immediately.
She then pulled a pair of brown, leather, knee high boots that she had borrowed from Laura. When she had seen them at her friends house she had fallen in love with them and had begged Laura to let her borrow them.
"Come on!" She had argued "Every pirate needs a good pair of boots. I mean, have you ever seen a pirate walking around in sneakers?" Laura just grunted in reply "I thought not."
Of course Dott would have to let her borrow 200 dollar pair of jeans, but it was a small price to pay to have the perfect Halloween costume.
She tied a white sash around her waist while she looked around for her bandanna.
"Come on.." She mumbled as she threw stuff around, looking for it. "It has to be around here somewhere" After 15 minutes of searching she finally spotted it under her Sailor Moon Barbie doll (Yes, you can buy those).
"I swear. My stuff turns up in the strangest places." Her bandanna was black and soft to the touch. She tied it around her hair and the few loose braids that she had done in the morning.
She checked herself in the mirror to make sure no locks of hair or braids had managed to fall out. Her hair was black and long enough to reach the middle of her back.
She stared at herself and tried to figure out what was missing. She knew it was something to do with her eyes…. Her eyeliner! That was it!
She grabbed her makeup bag and dug around for her kohl eyeliner. What was a Jack Sparrow fanatic without her eyeliner? Nothing. That's what. She applied it to her
black eyes.
As she applied it she thought back to her answer to Laura's question. She would like to be a part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" or any other story for that matter. That would be so cool!
"I wish I could visit any fictional story ever made" She sighed. She glanced at the wall clock and realized she had to leave soon. She pushed all other thoughts away and with a final check in the mirror she deemed herself ready to go.
"MOM! I'M LEAVING NOW!" She screeched.
Her mom popped her head around the corner "Wait a second. BRIAN! TAKE YOUR SISTER TO THE PARTY!" Now you see were she got her 'screech like a banshee' voice.
"AWWW! DO I HAVE TO?"
I've always said that was a stupid question. I mean, mothers don't tell you to do something just to stretch there vocal chords. Well, maybe her mom does, but that's beside the point.
"YES, YOU HAVE TO! NOW GET DOWN HERE. Oh," She glanced back at Dott. "have fun sweetie." She ducked her head back into the kitchen just as Brian came down the stairs.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." She had just been staring at him, trying to figure out what Laura saw in him. She just didn't get it. No, I take that back. She didn't want to get it. Damn. What ever happened to when we still thought boys had cooties? Oh, right. Puberty. Damn again.
"Come on, I'm going to miss the hockey game."
"You know that Anaheim is going to loose."
"You keep telling yourself that pipsqueak." He walked outside.
"Ya, ya." Now you have to understand. Dott is the hugest Ottawa Senators fan in the world, and her brother always cheered on the apposing team just to make her mad. This was even more important because it was the playoffs.
Now, as all of this was going through her head Dott chose that particular moment to become aware of her surroundings.
Brian was missing and she was standing in thin air.
And if that wasn't enough, she was standing in thin air right above Elizabeth Swann and James Norrington.
A/N: Well what did you think? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?……. am I annoying you yet? Sorry. I'm just really excited. I know this chapter is short, but it will speed up soon. Please review! The more you review, the more I'm gonna want to keep writing. You guys are my motivation.
PS. Yes, I realize that the playoffs are not in October, but work with me people!
Hugs, Kisses and World Domination!
