llCHAPTER 2

Will was having quite frankly a crappy day. This morning the Madam was feeling antsy so close to the next production; she had decided to repaint the entire stage and had enlisted Wills help at four in the morning.

Yawning tiredly Will can feel the eyes of somebody looking at him. Looking up and across the room he sees a new face, staring intently at him. Shivering slightly Will blushes. The boy looked to be about the same age as Will. Suddenly the boy shakes his head and puts a bright smile on his face. And turns to Elizabeth.

Narrowing his eyes slightly Will glares across the room as Elizabeth laughs at something the boy said. Who is this guy? And why in the world is he hanging off of Liz?

Standing up Will quickly makes his way across the room. The new boy notices Wills approach before Elizabeth does and smirks stupidly while casually putting an arm around her shoulders. "Hey there princess, what brings you over here?" The infuriating man asks.

Wills eye twitches in annoyance as he struggles to come up with something to say in return. "Who're you?" The boy leans his head back and laughs heartily, "I asked first, and the better question is who are you?" Somewhat oblivious to Wills hostility Elizabeth answers some of the questions.

"This is Jack, and Jack this is Will." Giving a brilliant smile Elizabeth nudges Will lightly. "And Will is my best friend in the whole wide world." Will smiles softly at Elizabeth and rubs the back of his neck a bit self conscious.

Suddenly a loud bell sounds and Elizabeth makes a small adorable pouty face. "That's my cue to leave... Bye boys, I'll talk to you guys later." And with that Elizabeth extracted herself and left with a flourish.

Jack and Will stood awkwardly for a bit in silence. Will scuffed his shoe and jack just stared at Will. Feeling Jacks scrutinizing gaze Will rubs the back of his neck again, feeling awkward. Suddenly Will is hit with a smack of remembrance and looks up at Jack angrily. "What do you mean princess?!"

Jack threw his head back and laughed again. "You mate. You've got that long hair, makes you a princess!" Will glared angrily at Jack grinding his teeth. "You're terrible."

"Me terrible? Ain't nobody ever said that about me!" Jack said with a triumphant smile. Will muttered under his breath something about double negatives before Jack continued. "Oh and by the way it's not just Jack. It's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!"

Will rolled his eyes, "Captain, and just what are you captain of?" This seemed to catch Jack off guard and he stood silently for a few moments. "I-I'm... I mean I was... No... Im the captain of the greatest band in all the sea!" Will tilted his head slightly. "Was... Does that mean that your 'band' got fed up with you?" Jack shook his head solemnly. "Oh but if only it was that easy... No, my best mate Barbie took it from out from under me. Led the mutiny to cast me out. He is the reason for my exile from me beautiful Black Pearl."

Will sat silently for a bit before nosing his head slightly. "Uh huh... Right sure whatever you say Mr. Spar-" "CAPTAIN!" Will rolled his eye. "Yea whatever Jack." With that will started walking to the changing rooms.

"CAPTAIN YOU SLIMY MONGREL!" Will laughed a bit before dashing in. "Hey! Wait up where ya goin? The pretty Liz said this is where gym is!" Will poked his head out the door. "We have to get changed first Jack!" Jack rolled his eyes and flamboyantly flung his arms out. "Naw I don't need that. I'm absolutely sure whatever this second rate school with the second rate gym has to offer won't even make me sweat!"

Not even ten minutes later had Jack panting hard and sweaty attempting to do the required amount of push-ups. Eventually he gave up and fell to the ground. "Nope! I'm done no more!" Will laughed from beside him. "What do you mean? I thought you wouldn't even sweat?"

Jack groaned and rolled over onto his back. "Well that would have been if the teacher matched this" he paused for a moment trying to catch his breath. "School, what I wasn't expecting was a freaking hard core demon as a teacher!"

Will dropped down to the floor overcome with a fit of laughter. "Now come on it's not that bad! You just have to put in some effort." Jack groaned again louder. "But it's not worth it. I'm way to lazy for this crap!" Will rolled his eyes in return. "Yea sure whatever, if you're just TOO WEAK to be on my level."

Jack growled low in his throat. "Weak? I don't even know what that means." Shaking his head Will walked to the treadmills. "Sure. Sure."

With that Will started a steady although fast pace. Jack smirked before getting on to the one beside Will. Will narrowed his eyes as he saw Jack begin to run but tried to ignore him as best as possible.

Jack slowly began to speed up his machine, causing Will's eye to twitch. With jacks pace now fairly above Will's own pace, Will is ticked. Reaching forward Will turns up the speed on his own machine. Eventually both boys are running as hard and fast as they can trying to outdo the other. No longer who could go the fastest but now who could go the longest. Will was glaring full out at Jack as Jack reciprocated though with far less venom in his eyes.

Will begins to feel his muscles seize, there's no way for him to continue much longer his body is literally shutting down. Panting harder Will tries to continue to push himself, but with an erratically shaking hand Jack reaches over to Will's treadmill and turns it off. As Will's machine slows Jack immediately hits the off button on his own.

Both boys panting harshly and standing on very shaky legs, Jack speaks first. "So," pausing to pant a few times. "Looks like I..." Again trying to steady his breathing. "Won!" Will shook his head furiously before immediately regretting the action when the world spins slightly. "Nu uh, didn't fight fair!" Jack laughed loudly.

"Fight fair? Jeez Will don't you know by now?"

Will shook his head a bit confused.

"I'm a punk! What did you expect?"
