Sally, James and Will stood at direct attention as Evie's face turned bright red as she stared down at them. Sally held back laughter as she prepared to twirl her invisible flag.
"BAND, four counts to the left. Hut, hut, hut…" Evie held her imaginary baton up in the air as they turned to the left. "Band, to the front haste!" They marched forward, barely daring to breathe. Evie was scary when she got like this. "TOES! TOES! TOES! TOES! TOES! TURN!"
Left, left, left, right, left, Sally thought as she stepped, keeping her eyes up. "GUARD, HALT one, two!" Sally stopped and held her invisible flag up at attention. "BAND, mark time mark! BAND, about face! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT!" She waved her baton as Will and James turned around. "B flat concert scale, in whole notes!"
James dared not look to Will or Sally but he had no idea what a B flat concert scale was. Sweat beaded his forehead as he pretended to play a clarinet.
"NO! NO! NO! James!" He looked up slowly. "I thought we had been over this! C, D, G, A, B, C!! Not A, C, G, F, C, A!" She growled. "Do it right or Sally will take over."
He nodded slowly; he did NOT want to play with a flag. "AGAIN from the top"
She waved her baton and James mimicked Sally's fingers that moved on the flag pole to where the keys were on a clarinet.
"BETTER! KEEP IT UP!"
Once the scale was over, Evie was somewhat satisfied. "It will do, for now."
She walked into the bedroom and slid the door shut. "ADESE!" She yelled from behind the sliding door.
Sally let out a breath of relief and went to James. "Don't worry about her, she gets like this sometimes. Drum major gets to her head." She spoke quietly.
Will was shaking so hard he couldn't move from attention. James went to him and forced him to sit.
"I think I know what to do." Sally got up and went to the spam which was almost on fire from neglect. She quickly put it in the middle of a frozen waffle and slid it under the door into the bedroom. She moved away quickly to avoid any possible fire from the room.
She sat on the couch and waited. A few moments later, a large belch was heard from the room. The door slid open and Evie emerged with a smile. "What's wrong with you all?" She noted their horrified faces. "Let's eat SPACOS!" She went and made more spacos.
Sally turned to Will and James. "See? Told you! She gets like that sometimes. It's in her subconscious which is a little… well not right. She doesn't know she acts like that and spam brings her back." She stood. "Lets eat!"
Still confused, James stood and went to get a spaco. Will, still frozen in one position, did not move. Sally giggled; watching Will shake and stare into nothing. She took two spacos and went back to him.
Sitting down on the couch, Sally held the spaco in front of Will's mouth. "Open your mouth." He did so, still in the drum major subconscious band member state. She put the spaco in his mouth. "Bite and chew." He did.
Sally quickly moved away, expecting a similar reaction like Evie's. She braced herself as Will stood up and started screaming at the top of his lungs. He sounded like he had been kicked in the nuts; more manly noises have been heard from squirrels.
They all dropped what they were holding and covered their ears.
Once the screaming was over, Will plopped down on the couch with a pleased smile on his face and sighed. Uncovering their ears, Evie, Sally and James looked at him insanely. "What the …."
Just then, a very rough knock was heard from the door and everyone jumped. "Oh god, who now?" Sally said walking to the door. She opened the main door but left the screen locked. She screamed and slammed the door shut again.
"What?" Evie ran to her side as she almost swooned.
Sally pointed to the door, almost hysterical. "Boyfriends." Evie understood.
Blake and Kevin were Evie and Sally's boyfriends from school. Both football players, over 6 foot and gingers. What are the odds that they would come here on the same night that James and Will were here? Evie groaned and looked to Will and James. She spoke quietly. "You two, hide in the closet in there. NOW!"
The two looked at her strangely but obeyed. Just before they closed the door Evie whispered to them again. "Do not make any noise at ALL!" James nodded and shut the door. "Sal, you gotta get up." She grabbed a spaco and shoved a bite in her mouth. Sally was instantly up.
"Spam cures everything." Evie said fixing her hair in the mirror. "Sally, open the door again and don't close it this time."
Sally nodded and prepared herself. She opened the door, both this time, and smiled. "Hey boys, what are you doing here?"
Kevin smiled at her. "Here to see you of course!"
"Really? Why?
"Why not? No, of course not. Why on earth would I come here, in the middle of the night other then to see my girlfriend?" Kevin said playfully.
Sally blushed. "Oh, right."
Evie came to the door. "Blake, hey." She hugged him and pulled them both inside. Sally shot her a look and Evie shot one back.
Sally smiled to Kevin and kissed him softly. "So, you know you guys can't be here right?"
They just smiled. "Who's going to find out?" Said Blake with a grin.
"My parents said they would do random checkups on us when we were out here, they might find out!" Sally said nervously. "Then they would never trust us again."
Kevin shrugged. "Who says they are going to come now?"
"Who says they aren't."
"Look, Sally, if you don't want us here just says so…"
"Ok, I don't want you here."
He groaned. "Sally, Sally, Sally, Sally. Chillax love. Its going to be alright!"
"No, no its not Kev, we're going to get caught and I would rather not ruin this for Evie and me. Please, just go!" She pleaded him but held him close to her.
Kevin sighed and placed his jacket on the couch. "I love you, Sally but this is uncalled for. We drive all the way down here to see you and find you don't want us here."
Sally looked over her shoulder to Evie for some help but found her incapable of giving help at this time. She was already engaged in a fierce game of tonsil hockey and it looked as though she was winning.
She sighed. "Kevin, I don't want to take this chance, it's too risky."
He shook his head. "Fine, Sally. You want me to leave, I'll leave." He was annoyed now and Sally could tell. Kevin walked over and hit Blake over the head. "Come on, we're leaving."
Blake pushed Evie off of him and said goodbye. The two walked out of the camper and shut the door. Sally and Evie sighed. "That went well." Evie said fixing her hair once again.
"Yeah, if a train wreck is good."
"Time to let them out." Evie stood and opened the closet door.
"Who was that?" Will said climbing out of the tiny closet.
"Friends of ours. Don't worry about them."
James came out next and stretched. "My, that was rather awkward."
"Yeah, you have no idea." Sally said sitting on the bed.
"No, I meant being locked in a closet with Will, squished together like a pack of sardines."
"Oh, right." Sally sighed. Everyone jumped when they heard the camper door open again.
"Sorry, I know you don't want me here but I left my…" Kevin walked to the sliding door and looked at the four of them. "Jacket."
His mouth hit the floor. "What the hell is this!" He was looking directly at Sally. "Tell me, what in the HELL is this!" He went up to where Sally sat. "Is this why you don't want me here? So you can cheat on me with this loser son-of-a-bitch!?"
Tears formed in Sally's eyes as he yelled in her face. "No, Kevin, it's not like that."
"It's not like what Sally? Not like how I see it? Well that's how it looks." He went to Will. "Who the hell are you anyway?"
Will took a step back. "Will, Will Turner."
Kevin laughed and looked at Sally. "So, you can't have the real thing so you make some poor innocent creep dress up like him and say he's Turner. This is low, Sal, even for you."
He looked at James next. "And I bet you're going to say you're Lord Beckett aren't you?"
James was appalled. "Sir, I am Admiral James Norrington. How dare you compare me to that short Lord." He spat.
"That makes sense." He laughed. "You've all lost it, and guess what, you've not lost it all."
He went back out the door and got Blake. When Blake saw Will and James he gasped and pointed at Will. "Pirate!" He looked to James. "Commodore. Pirate. Commodore. PIRATE!" He ran to Will and shook his hand.
Kevin rolled his eyes. "Another lunatic."
Blake turned to James next. "Commodore." He said without even bothering to shake his hand.
"That's Admiral to you, sir." James said with a glare.
"Oh god in heaven, can we just leave and let you two go on to the hankie pankie with the two fictional characters?" Kevin said grabbing his jacket.
"Kevin, look at this! A real gun!" Blake poked the gun at Will's waist.
"Pardon me sir." Will said scooting away.
Kevin rolled his eyes. "Blake, we're leaving now."
"No, dude! Look at this, it's so original!" He poked the sword around Norrington's belt.
Will coughed. "It better be original, I made it."
Kevin groaned. "How long are you both going to keep on this charade? Its stupid and its need to stop."
"What charade?" Will said looking at Kevin. He was confused but that was a normal state of mind for him lately, especially after the whole drum major thing.
Sally spoke up next. "Kevin, they are real." She looked to Evie. "We need to tell them, Ev."
Evie nodded. "I guess you're right. Blake, Kevin, sit down."
They all went into the living room and sat on the couch and on the chairs. Evie took a deep breath. "On the last day of school, Sally, Brad and I were in the band room having out meeting. Well, when we were doing the ceremonial song something happened." Evie went on to tell them about their travels through time back to the Black Pearl, freeing Will from the curse and Calypso's gift.
About half an hour later, Kevin and Blake pretty much, well lets say didn't believe them.
"Right, and I'm the King of England."
"You most certainly are not!" James spoke sharply. "Only King James is the King of England!"
"Sure, he is." Kevin rolled his eyes.
"Kevin, please believe us, it's the truth." Sally looked at him, pleading, begging.
"No, Sally. What I want to know is how long it took you to make up that cock-bull story!"
"We aren't making it up." Evie glared at them.
Blake was staring at them in disbelief. "Sure, sure you aren't." He giggled a bit. "You should write that down, Evangeline, it's a nice story."
This was the first time Evie's real name had been revealed out loud. Evie shot him an evil glare and he suddenly realized what had been done. "Uh-oh."
"Uh-oh is right, bud, you're shit toast!" Sally giggled.
"RUN BLAKE!"
And that's what he did, he ran. But Evie didn't chase him for some reason. She laughed. "I just wanted to scare him. He knows not to call me that."
They all laughed but the laughter soon faded.
"Kevin, do I look like I'm lying to you?"
Kevin studied Sally's face for a moment, it was true, she didn't look like she was lying. He could always tell when she was lying. "Fine, I'll play along for a bit but since they're here, could we bring Alizee in?"
Sally hit his arm, hard. "Bastard."
He laughed and so did Evie.
Alizee was Kevin's 'celebrity love'. To Sally, she was a little French whore. He only liked her because one of the dances she did was made into a dance on one of his stupid little computer games he liked to play.
"Ow! I was kidding, Sal!" He rubbed his arm.
"Sure you were."
James put a hand on Evie's shoulder. "What do we do now that they know?"
Sally shrugged looking at James then to Evie. "Should they stay, or what?"
Evie copied Sally's shrug and sighed. "I guess we have to make sure they never tell our secret. Brad will have to be informed, probably best tomorrow morning."
Sally snorted and Evie giggled.
The night continued on a bit longer. Blake and James got jealous whenever Evie was near the other, same with Will, Kevin and Sally.
There was much tension between the boyfriends and the fictional characters. To break the tension, Evie offered rum and twister.
"Let's play twister!"
Kevin laughed. "That's almost as stupid as 'Let Them Eat Cake'!"
Sally giggled. "Twister, hell yes! I'm in! Who else?"
Will, James and Blake raised their hands. Everyone looked to Kevin. "You can be spinner then." Evie handed him the spinner while Sally lay out the board.
"HUZZAH!! Let's begin! Spin, spinner boy!" Evie and Sally giggled.
"Right hand Red, Sally." She did so. "Left foot, green, Evie." So on and so on.
Soon everyone was curved and stretched into awkward and uncomfortable positions. Sally was sprawled beneath both Evie and Will, being flexible was one of her best traits but no one said it didn't hurt.
Evie was on top of Sally, next to Will and leaning over James who was also underneath Will.
"Left hand yellow, Will." He groaned and flipped over to reach for the spot, in doing so, wound up face to face with Sally.
"Hello there. I rather like this position." He said with a smirk. With this said, Kevin through the lid to the rum at him. "Watch it, pirate boy!"
Will and Sally laughed. "Sally, right foot green." She moved her foot, giving Will more room to be closer to her, which he took up quickly making her giggled more.
Kevin grumbled and said another. "Evie, right foot red." She did so, and in the process knocking over James, Will and herself. Will fell right onto Sally, who screamed in hysterics and pain. "EVIE!!" They all laughed. The game was over and it was time to sleep, thus creating a new problem, the sleeping arrangements.
