Nope…I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean…
Pintel and fourteen year old Ragetti walked the streets of London looking for something to do.
"Ya wanna…" Ragetti tried to think of something to do but was completely stumped. He felt bad because his uncle had two more days to be onshore, then after that he was to go back on his ship and sail away. He would go but, Pintel couldn't let Ragetti go until he was sixteen. So there they were just walking around board.
"We could go to da docks again." Pintel suggested. Ragetti shrugged and then nodded. Ragetti turned to go towards the direction of the docks, but there was a young girl walking just behind him and he ran into her. She fell to the ground and dropped her basket of bread. Ragetti gasped and tried to make an apology.
"I'm-I didn mean to- are ya okay, sorry." He stuttered and took in the girls features, she was beautiful. She had medium length blonde hair that seemed to be so silky, if he dared to touch it. She had blue eyes that looked like crystals and her skin was flawless. Pintel leaned down and picked up the girls basket. Ragetti shoved his hand near her and she took it and Ragetti shuttered when his rough hand was grabbed by her smooth hand. She dusted off her dress and took the basket from Pintel.
"It's quite alright I suppose I was walking to close." She said politely. Ragetti smiled.
"Ya were a bit close." Ragetti said. Pintel smacked his forehead. The girl looked a little offended but none-the-less forced a smile on her face.
"I must be going." She said walking past Ragetti.
"Wait!" Ragetti called. The girl turned to face him. "Wots your name?" The girl smiled.
"Eden." Ragetti nodded.
"I'm Ragetti." He said motioning to himself. Eden smiled and nodded.
"Alright." And with that she turned to leave. Ragetti watched her as she left but suddenly he felt Pintel slap the back of his head.
"Idiot!" Pintel scowled.
"Wot?"
"You didn see it?" Pintel asked.
"Wot do ya mean?" Ragetti said clueless.
"She liked you! Didn ya see that look in 'er eyes?"
"No." Ragetti said looking to the spot where he last saw Eden, now she was stopped at a merchant booth. Pintel got closer to Ragetti and whispered.
"We need ta follow 'er home so you know where to find 'er, then you can meet again." Pintel explained. Ragetti smiled then started laughing. Pintel joined in his laughter.
"Your smart Uncle Pinty!" Pintel's face went dead serious.
"Don't call me that."
The next day…
"You just wait she'll see you and 'er heart will stop!" Ragetti smiled as he walked out in his best clothes, which in reality weren't all that good.
"Ya think?" Pintel nodded.
"Absolutely!" They both walked out of the house saying goodbye to Jonathan, Ragetti's father. Finally they reached Eden's house and Pintel leaned down and yanked some flowers out of the soil and handed them to Ragetti. "Ladies love flowers." Ragetti smiled and Pintel hid in a bush and watched what would happen. Ragetti walked up the nice big house and knocked on the doors. A large man answered the door and looked at the lanky boy that stood before him.
"Can I help you?" The man asked.
"I'm looking for Eden." Ragetti explained.
"Do you know her?"
"Course! I ran into 'er yesterday and made 'er fall." Ragetti said. The man cocked his head. "I was seein if she wanted to go out with me." The man's eyes widened and he stepped out and shut the door behind him.
"I'm Eden's father." The man said crossing his arms. "And she will not go out with a street rat like yourself."
"But I got 'er flowers!" Ragetti said showing the yellow flowers to Eden's father.
"Those are weeds boy!" The man yelled.
"But they look like flowers…" Ragetti said studying the weeds he grasped in his hands.
"Get off my land!" Eden's father yelled. Ragetti shrunk under the yell but shoved the flowers toward him.
"Can you give these to Eden?"
"GO!" Ragetti jumped and dropped the weeds and ran back down the street. Pintel jumped out of the bush and ran after him. Finally they got far enough away from the house and they slowed the pace. Ragetti hung his head low. His uncle patted him on the shoulder.
"She wasn't good enough for ya anyway."
