Read, enjoy and review please :D
"Um… I don't think this is our room…" Sarah looked around in confusion. All three of them were standing on a bridge. They turned around, but the door was gone.
"Where are we?" Ella wondered out loud. They all ducked suddenly as they heard gunshots being fired, and then a man ran past.
"Was that…" Sarah asked, her eyes widening. Laurel nodded, equally shocked.
"Jack Sparrow."
"And not Trevor as Jack Sparrow." Ella put in.
"Guys? Did I pass out or something?" Sarah frowned.
"No, and I honestly don't think we fell asleep either." Ella answered, shaking her head. Then she noticed Laurel running after Jack. "Laurel! Where are you going?" she called, standing up and sprinting after her friend, pulling Sarah along behind her.
"If this is the real thing, then we know exactly where we're going to find Jack, don't we?" Laurel called back over her shoulder.
"But surely we should be trying to find our way out of here?" Ella finally caught up with Laurel and grabbed her by the arm.
"Will is gonna be there too!" Laurel grinned. Ella's eyes widened and all three girls began running through the cobbled streets once more, heading towards the blacksmith's.
It only took them a few minutes to find the building and once they got inside a quick glance around told them that Jack hadn't arrived yet.
"Quick, Sarah, change clothes with me!" Laurel said, turning to her friend.
"What? Why?"
"We're still in our costumes. You have the pirate outfit."
"So? I don't really want to wear that big dress of yours." Sarah grumbled.
"Fine, but you know Norrington won't look twice at you if he thinks you're a pirate." Laurel sighed.
"Oh my gosh you're right!" Sarah gasped. "Quick, then, before Jack and Will get here!"
Laurel grinned and slipped out of the dress. All of the girls had chosen to wear leggings and vest tops underneath their costumes, so it was easy enough to change outfits.
Just as they had zipped up the dress Sarah now wore, they heard a noise outside and exchanged grins. "It's Jack! Hide!" Ella whispered, dragging the other two into a corner.
"Why?" Sarah asked quietly.
"We wait until the opportune moment to let people know we're here!" Laurel grinned as the door opened and the handsome pirate hurried inside. They watched as he checked Mr Brown was asleep and then start to break his chains. Laurel and Ella had to put their hands over Sarah's mouth when Jack took the red hot rod from the furnace and set the donkey off with it. She always hated that part. Finally Jack was free, and the girls all glanced over to the door expectantly, and a few moments later it opened again and Will Turner walked in, heading straight over to the donkey to calm it down. Then he walked over to Mr Brown, still fast asleep in the corner.
"Right where I left you." He sighed, removing his coat. Then he turned and frowned as he spotted the hammer Jack had left on the anvil. "Not where I left you." He glanced across and saw Jack's hat and reached out to touch it but before he could Jack had brought the flat side of his sword down on Will's hand.
"I love this part!" Ella whispered excitedly.
"You're the one they're hunting." Will said, backing away from Jack. "The pirate."
Jack frowned. "You seem somewhat familiar, have I threatened you before?"
"I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates." Will replied, bluntly.
"Ah. Well then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me." Jack turned to get his hat and Ella and Sarah had to hold onto Laurel's arms to stop her rushing out as Will grabbed a sword and pointed it at Jack.
"Not yet!" Ella whispered. Laurel sighed, knowing her friend was right.
"Where's the popcorn when you need it?" Sarah grumbled a few moments later as Jack and Will dualled. Her friends laughed quietly.
"Yeah, sucks we don't have any." Ella agreed.
"I dunno, I think we're about to have a lot more fun!" Laurel nodded over in the direction of the men and they all ran out as Mr Brown smashed the bottle over Jack's head. Laurel ran to Jack's side and crouched down by his unconscious form, but within seconds the doors had burst open and the Royal Navy stormed in. One of the men grabbed Laurel from behind and pulled her away from Jack as the others circled the pirate, their weapons pointing at him. Then Norrington walked in.
"Excellent work, Mr Brown. You've assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive." He congratulated the drunk man, and Sarah had to cover Ella's mouth quickly to stop her telling them it was Will who fought Jack. Norrington turned to his men. "Well, I trust you will always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away." He turned to go, when the man holding Laurel called after him.
"What about this one, sir?"
Norrington turned to look at Laurel for the first time.
"Take her away. No doubt an accomplice of his judging by her clothes."
Ella and Sarah looked at each other in horror as Laurel was led away to the prison.
"Mr Turner, you will escort these ladies home." Norrington ordered, glancing at Ella and Sarah. "They seem to be in shock."
