The rum is gone...or is it? Well, you learn something new everyday. Heheheh. I do believe I have Elizabeth down-pat, and I wish I could see these two together so badly in a movie. It was meant to be, man! Meant to be! Cry.

And so, the last chapter. Don't worry. I'll make more. I type fast, so I pretty much can make more.

Tomorrow I'll be gone, though. At college...for orientation. Groan.

But I will be back the day after to post more stories!

Yayyyy!


Chapter Three

"Why is the Rum Gone? Pt. III"

Elizabeth opened her eyes to find Jack with a bottle of half-empty rum. "Captain Jack Sparrow, you scoundrel! How dare you drink that rum without my permission!"

"I…uh…" he looked at it and swallowed hard. "Well, this rum is different than all the rest."

"Oh, is it?" Elizabeth looked at him with an angry eye. "Tell me how it is so different, Captain Jack Sparrow."

"We can use it for something…good?"

"Oh no, I am not falling for that trick again, Jack. We shall use this rum for a far better purpose than what we are using it for now," she said as she snatched it away. "Now. Let's use it for a bonfire to get out of here!"

"No!" Jack pleaded.

Elizabeth slapped him. "No! You will do what I say, Captain Jack Sparrow, or face the consequences!"

Jack bent his head lower. "Yes, milady—at your command." He removed his hat for dramatic effect and bowed.

"Thank you," she said.

Five minutes later…

"What a bonfire! Look at it go!" Elizabeth said with a laugh. "It's large! Imagine what would happen if we used all of the rum!"

Jack let out a whimper. "Um…"

"And you," she said turning to face him. "We'll have white sails appearing over the horizon before you know it! I guarantee it! We'll be home free!"

Jack looked at her. "…And those sails… would they be the sails of Commodore Norrington?"

Elizabeth nodded. "Yes, he is quite fond of me. He would do anything for me." She let out a giggle.

"Well then, we shall use him as leverage to get off this island and attack Barbossa and exact my revenge upon them at the Isla de la Muerta!"

"Yes!" Elizabeth cheered. "You are finally seeing things my way. Perhaps we can get along, then?"

"Hmmm. Let's not push it," Jack said as he smiled.

Elizabeth socked him in the arm. "Hey, hey now, Jack. Be nice. I'm only rash because I want to be a protective person for you."

"Really now… Is that so?"

Elizabeth socked him in the arm again.

"HEY!"

"Look! White sails!"

Five minutes later…

"Well, if I would have known that wasn't a ship, I would have not chased it down," Jack said, shaking his shirt out.

"You're soaking wet, here…" she handed him a blanket.

"Where'd you get that?"

"…Um… The cache. I also found more rum." Elizabeth smiled.

"Oh, is that so then? Then we celebrate!"

Elizabeth guzzled the rum down. "I'm hungry," she said looking up at the palm tree with a bunch of fruit.

"Me too… But not for food."

Elizabeth glared. "Captain Jack Sparrow, you are impossible."

"Am I really?"

"Yes," Elizabeth said, wiping sweat away. "I'm going for a swim."

"Be careful. Rum plus the sea equals you're history."

"I'll keep that in mind," Elizabeth said as she unzipped the back of her undergarment.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

"…Getting undressed, what does it look like I'm doing?" Elizabeth said, turning back to face Jack. "Why? Have you never seen a girl naked before?"

"…That's not the point. I just…you're too bold, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth turned away. "Well, I can't just go with clothes on, can I? I'll be wet just like you!"

Jack sighed. "All right. Go ahead, but I won't look. Tell me when you are done."

"Okay," Elizabeth said as she unzipped. She then stopped and looked at Jack. "Close your eyes."

Jack closed his eyes and covered them for extra protection.

"Oh come on, Jack—am I that grotesque?"

"No. You're not. I just…I don't want to offend a young lady like yourself."

"I'm twenty. I'm hardly young."

"That's beside the point. Now, go ahead and get undressed."

Elizabeth made her way towards Jack and looked at him. An idea struck her. He was close to the waves… Too close. She then pushed him in the water and he fell right in.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Jack emerged from the water all sopping wet. "Argh. Elizabeth…"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist." Elizabeth said with a smile. "Push me in, if you like."

"Nah. I couldn't push a woman."

"Just this once? Have fun, Jack…" she took his hands and placed them on her shoulders. "Push me."

"Oh, alright. Fun, then." He pushed her in the water and she pulled him in. He splashed around and she clung to his back. "You didn't say push me in too!"

"I'm sorry," she said with a laugh.

"So…do you want me to reverse our vows?"

Elizabeth looked down. "…I…I don't know. You're growing on me."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Yes. Very," she kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh look, white sails! Free rum for everyone!"
