Girl's Movie Night

(Narrator's Point Of View)

"Well, that sucked." Ashley crawled into the shotgun seat of the PT Cruiser.

Her friend Jasmine whined as she sat in the driver's seat of her car. "Ugh, I'm just glad this night is over. I am so done, all I want is to stuff my mouth with ice cream and sob."

Ashley Lane and Jasmine Collins had just now left a friends birthday party. It was the kind of party that young adults like to have, the ones where teenagers make bad decisions. The two girls didn't know very many people there, so they talked amongst themselves for the majority of the time. Jasmine and Ashley had met freshmen year of high school. They found many things in common, ranging from their favorite types of music and movies. As the years went by, they became good friends. They went to school dances together, had a class together, had sleepovers, went shopping, they even once had a crush on the same guy. Jasmine was about to turn 18, she had medium/long blonde hair with dark brown and black highlights. She was the perfect height, at 5'6, had a medium sized bust, and pretty teal blue eyes. Ashley was 17, she had long brown hair with blonde highlights. She was 5'3, fairly short, with an hourglass figure and...bigger breasts than most women. She had darker blue eyes, with a little sliver of her right eye shaded green. Ashley rarely saw Jasmine anymore because Junior year, she had switched to online school, while Jasmine still went to the same high school they met at.

"I'm sorry this keeps happening to you, you don't deserve it. Guys are shit, they're immature at this age." Ashley responded. "That's why I stay away from them. They break your heart and leave you to suffer in pain."

"This is what, the third guy that has turned me down in the past year? First, it was Hayden, then there was CJ, and then Kyle. All of them ended up liking that bitch that was at the party. Now I feel worse instead of better." Jasmine was about to cry as she drove them to the nearest store.

"I am truly sorry Jassy, I wish there was something I could do to help. Let's go buy some ice cream, and then go back to my house and watch whatever movie you wanna see, how about that?"

"Sounds good to me." Jasmine agreed as they pulled up to a Walmart.

As they entered the store, they went straight to the ice cream aisle.

"Okay, what's your favorite ice cream flavor? I really like..."

"Mint chocolate chip!" They said at the same time and laughed.

"And why don't we grab a pack of Mountain Dew while we're at it?" Ashley asked her with a grin, already knowing the answer.

"Can't say no to that!" Jasmine picked up a 12-pack as they both headed to the check out line.

Right when they walked through the front door of Ashley's home, they popped some popcorn and ran upstairs with two tubs of ice cream and enough soda to last the night at least. As they entered, Jasmine glanced around her child-like room. It was nautical themed, with anchors, mermaids, ships, and skulls galore.

"Sorry about the mess, and everything else in my room. It's stupid, I know."

"No, not at all. You really like the beach, don't you? Nice poster by the way." Jasmine smiled as she saw the huge picture of Captain Jack Sparrow right beside her bed.

"Thanks." Ashley smiled lightly out of embarrassment.

"Got any other Pirates of the Caribbean stuff?" Jasmine wondered. Ashley then opened a drawer in her dresser and looked through it.
"Well, these for starters," She first pulled out a gray T-shirt that had Jack Sparrow and the words Captain's Wench printed on it. Next, a red baggy T-shirt with the Curse of the Black Pearl logo with Jack Sparrow again. Another tank top that read, "My Heart belongs to a Pirate." And finally, a black dress that was decorated with crossbones and swords and anchors.

"Wow, you're obsessed, not that that's a bad thing." Jasmine smiled.

"Yeah I'm a total dork, I know. I don't know, no other movies make me as happy as Pirates does." She put the gray PJ shirt on. "I also have tons of small Pirates posters on my door, I have multiple necklaces, all the movies, keychains, a board game, figurines, and even a stuffed animal. It really is an obsession at this point that I'm afraid to admit to anyone."

"Don't be dude, I'm not judgin'." Jasmine plopped down on her bed. "In fact, can we watch the first one? I haven't seen those movies since I was a kid."

Ashley laughed awkwardly. She knew she was a lot different than all her other friends. "Wait, really? You sure you don't want to see some chick flick?"

"Yeah! And absolutely not, that'll make me bawl if I watch anything like that right now."

As already stated, Ashley loved the film series Pirates Of The Caribbean. She was head-over-heels in love with the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. He was the only fictional character she admired. Boys she had crushes on in the past had nothing on him. For the past 6 years, she hasn't been able to get over her infatuation with the character and also the actor Johnny Depp. He meant a lot to her, even if he was only fictional. Jasmine was more so interested in famous band members or boys at her high school, just like every other girl their age. Something Jasmine did have in common with Ashley, was that she also thought Johnny Depp was hot.

"Alright, I'll put the movie in." Ashley turned on the TV and the DVD player, placed The Curse of the Black Pearl in, and pressed play on the remote. Ashley and Jasmine laid back on the bed, getting comfortable. They ate their ice cream and popcorn like typical teenagers. As the film started, the girls chatted away.

"God, Norrington is like in his 20's there and Elizabeth is about 9, and he ends up proposing to her later. Society norms back then were messed up."

"Yeah, I guess that happened often in that time period. Women were married off at a young age to the richest, highest ranking man they could find to bring wealth and power to their family name." Ashley informed Jasmine. Ashley wasn't very academically smart, except for when it came to 18th-century history or the Disney company. "Why is she being so rude to Will when a second ago she was happy to see him? Elizabeth? More like Elizabitch." Ashley chuckled at her own joke.

Both the girls had a crude sense of humor. Jasmine was more of the type to joke harshly with all her friends, while Ashley would only joke rudely with close friends that she knew well. Jasmine was more outgoing and funny, while Ashley was more introverted but creative. But when both friends were together, they would humorously joke about people they knew and each other.

"Okay, do you think Will is hot?" Ashley asked Jasmine.

"No, I mean, he's decent looking, but he's kind of a prude. He needs to man up and make a move on Elizabeth."

"Right? For real, everyone can tell that they like each other, it's not that difficult."

Then, came the scene that made Ashley swoon every time she saw it. Captain Jack Sparrow sailed into Port Royal on his sinking ship, while still managing to make an amazing entrance.

"He is so hot." Jasmine happily sighed.

Ashley giggled, "God yes he is."

The film continued on for about 15 minutes until the girls commenced their remarks once again.

"I want a dress like that, I'd wear it every day. Oooh, maybe a nice red one!" Jasmine admired the frilly dress Elizabeth was wearing.

"Same! Another reason why I'd kill to be in this movie. I'd want a creme colored gown."

A few minutes went by until Ashley wanted to mention something that was always on her mind every time she saw this movie, "I know this is gonna sound super stupid and childish but, if I could live in any fictional world, it'd be that one. My life would be so much better. Yeah, there'd be some cons, but the good outweighs the bad in my opinion."

"I totally agree, I wouldn't be so depressed if we were there. But there are multiple places I'd want to live in, like Hogwarts."

"Yeah, life wouldn't be so boring, every day full of adventure yet unpredictable in a fictional world. Reality sucks."

Halfway through the movie, Jasmine fell asleep. Ashley stayed up muttering every single line each character said. Towards the end of the film, where Jack turns immortal and fights Barbossa, she was out cold. After about a half hour, she woke back up and glared at the screen to see the short end scene with the monkey and the cursed chest of Cortes. She grabbed the remote, flipped off the DVD player and TV and laid back in bed. The last thing she could remember before she fell asleep again, was how she'd give up everything to go into the Pirates Of The Caribbean world and have unforgettable adventures with Jack, and how she'd hope to dream of such lovely things.
