Something Sorta Grandish
Mallory jumped in the air, doing a beautiful ballet move before landing in a graceful plie. She then started humming the waltz from 'Swan Lake' and fumbled the ballet moves around on the deck of the Black Pearl. Gibs, who just came down from the helm, so Mallory and rolled his eyes.
"Are you still practicing for your first ballet class?" He asked, before opening a bottle of rum.
Mallory smiled. "How did you know?" She said before spinning around and attempting the splits, but failed. She groaned and pulled her knees to her chest. "I still can't do the splits!"
Gibs chuckled at Mallory and took a swig of rum. "You and your sisters have been flouncing around the deck of the ship for the last week! You've been going over old dances, practicing spins, randomly dancing, and you even brought those shoes that allow you to go up on your toes!"
"You mean pointe shoes?" a voice said. Andria walked up, bucket in hand with a rope tied on it's handle, and pointe shoes on feet. "They are so painful!"
Gibs shrug. "Doesn't looks so bad."
Mallory smirked. "That's the point-e!" Mallory and Andria bursted into laughing while Gibs looked confused. Once Mallory caught her breath, she explained. "When you spell 'pointe shoes' you spell 'point' P-O-I-N-T-E. So it sounds like point-e!" Andria got up and went up on her toes, bit her lip and tried to hide the pain.
"I wish I could do this right!" She shouted before she fell off pointe then slung the bucket she was holding over the edge of the ship.
"You'll get it in time," Mallory said, as she pulled a small bag out of a barrel on the ship. Inside was her own pair of soft, pink, pointe shoes. Mallory discarded her regular street shoes and started to put on the pointe shoes. Andria sighed and let the bucket she had thrown over the ship float in the water for awhile. She pulled the bucket up, only to find it rather heavy. She rolled up her sleeves and tucked at the rope and lo and behold, Jack Sparrow was sitting on the bucket.
Andria raised her eyebrows. "Well, this is a fine kettle of fish! Jack, what are you doing in the ocean?"
Jack's reply was a hiccup, probably was from drinking to much rum before falling over the edge of the ship.
"If you won't tell me, it's back into the sea with ya!" She said as she started to lower the bucket.
"Oh no!" Jack said, before gripping on to the rail of the ship and pulling himself on deck. "Don't send me back into the cold, dreadful waters!" Andria raised her eyebrows.
"Jack, get a hold of yourself!" She said before pushing him onto the deck. Jack got up and watched Andria has she walked closer and closer to him. She ended up sitting down and started to re-move her pointe shoes. "So, what madness drove you into jumping over the deck?"
"Someone set me on fire and I had to put me self out!" Jack said, taking off his coat and ringing the water out of it.
Andria stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. She then continued and asked: "Who was it who put the torch to you?"
Jack sighed. "A sunbeam."
Andria was putting her ballet shoes inside a bag before looking up in shock and putting her hands on her hips. "A sunbeam!"
Jack eyes wandered up to the helm. "Aye, a sunbeam disgusted as a pirate queen. But she can't fool me, I know a sunbeam when I see one!"
Andria looked up at the helm and of course, Angelica was standing there. Andria rolled her eyes and stood up. "Jack, this girl is messing with your head! You just said something kinda... Poetic! This is unheard of!"
"It is, isn't?" Jack draped his coat over the railing of the ship before leaning up on it.
"But, I think I know what you're talking about," Andria said, joining him by the rail. Jack watch Angelica as she left the helm and went under to the lower decks.
"You do?" Jack asked.
"Well, I think I do. Do you feel a warmish, kind of glowish, peculiarish sensation?" Andria asked, a smile playing on her lips.
"No... it's a sort of quiverish, shiverish, flibberty-gibberish sensation!" Jack said excitedly and Andria began to skip around.
"Does it make you feel hummingbirds in your hearts?" She asked.
"Butteflies in me feet!"
"Bees in your bonnet!"
"Stars in me britches!"
"Does it make you want to dance?"
Jack suddenly did a heel click, before falling over on his side. "I haven't noticed!"
"Does it make you want to sing?"
"Surprisingly, it does! It does!" Jack exclaimed.
"Something sweet,
Something sort of grandish
Sweeps my soul
When thou art near.
My heart feels so sugar candish
My hand feels so ginger beer."
Andria began to laugh and did a very bad cartwheel across the deck of the Black Pearl. She smiled before singing:
"Something so dareish
So I don't careish,
Stirs me from limb to limb.
It's so terrifish, magnifish, delish.
To have such an amorish glamorish."
Jack cleared his throat:
"We could be oh, so bride and groomish
Skies could be so bluish blue.
Life could be so love in bloomish,
If my wishes could come true."
Andria took Jack's hat from his head and put it on her own. She started to dance around, laughing as Jack tried to get his hat back. Andria jumped out of the way and took his coat from its place on the rail of the ship. She slipped it on and took a pose that looked like a pirate. She giggled at Jack's annoyed face.
"Thou art sweet,
Thou art sort of grandish,
Thou outlandish cavalier."
Jack kneeled down and offered Andria his hand and she took it smiling. "From now on, we're hand in handish. Romeo..."
Jack untied his bandana and rapped it around his face to look like a peasant women. "... And Guinevere!" Andria raised her eyebrows as Jack sang:
"Thou'rt so adorish
Toujours l'amourish.
I'm so cherchez la femme."
Andria skipped down the deck and climbed on a barrel, standing on the top of it.
"Why should I vanquish,
Relinquish, resish,
When I simply relish this swellish condish"
Jack hopped up on the barrel next to her, then stepped up on the rail.
"I might be manishish or mouseish
I might be a fowl or fish,
But with thee I'm Eisenhowzish.
Please accept my propasish"
Andria joined him and they walked across the rail, singing in union:
"You're under my skinish,
So please be give-inish
Or it's the beginish of the finish of me."
Andria began to do turns and spins. She laughed a flung her arms out. If Andria would have known Jack was so close to her, she wouldn't have done that. Andria's arm hit Jack and sent him back into the water. Andria turned around but did see Jack in the water.
"Andria?" A voice behind her said. Andria jumped and turned around to see Angelica. "Where's Jack?"
Andria opened her mouth to say something, put waited a moment, looking for the right words. "I have no idea!"
