Disclaimer: If I owned Pirates of the Caribbean, the third would have already come out a long time ago, and the second would already be on DVD. Speaking of the sequel, pretend that it doesn't exist.

Last time with Elizabeth and company:

"We'll pamper you, you know, make you feel and look like a real woman. Maybe we could shock your crewmates and your captain, Or even make it so that they have to look twice or thrice to find you."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Annamaria confessed.

One last fitting, A Girl's Night In, and A Makeover

3pm

After an eventful and awkward luncheon, the seamstress and her assistants came to the Swann Manor with all the dresses to ensure that they fit correctly. Everyone had tried on her dress and it had fit accordingly, except for Anna Maria. She was last. The seamstress was very worried about the fit of Anna Maria's dress after the way Anna Maria reacted in her shop to the fit. Anna Maria put on the dress and let the seamstress tie it up in the back.

"How is that Miss Anna Maria? Does it fit to your liking?"

Anna Maria moved around a bit in it. She didn't like being in a dress because it was more restrictive than her normal clothes but it was livable. "It's fine. Ye did good. I thank ye fer not making it too tight."

"I am pleased that you are pleased." The Seamstress said to Anna Maria, then addressed the rest of the bride maids and Elizabeth, "I'll leave the dresses here so that you can get ready in the morning. Congratulations Miss Swann."

"Thank you, for everything." Elizabeth replied then the seamstress and her assistants left.

5:30pm

Once the seamstress left, all the girls gathered into Elizabeth's bedroom to start the makeovers. Everyone wanted to start with Anna Maria except of course, Anna Maria.

"Yer not doin' a thing t'me 'til I'm piss drunk! Which means I'm last! Start with that lass that Cap'n Sparrow brought 'ere!"

"Fine, if you are going to be drunk by the time we get to you, then you better start drinking now." Elizabeth commented with a smirk.

So Anna Maria did just that. She just sat in a corner drinking away. The girls decided it would be best if some of them started on Kendra's hair while the others started on Kendra's makeup and then others would start picking out dresses for her to try on.

6:30pm

Kendra was completely made up. She looked like a princess. While everyone fawned over her, Annamaria remained blissfully unaware, completely drunk, while the other girls took turns getting made over.

12am

Everyone was now made up all pretty except for Anna Maria. Everyone turned to Anna Maria and stared at her. Anna Maria got that feeling when you know you're being watched. She looked around and saw everyone staring at her.

"Wha'? Why're ye'll starin' at me? Do I gots somefin on me face?"

"No. It's your turn."

"Turn fer wha?"

"A make over."

"Oh… Bleedin' 'ell… Bugger it all… A'right, les get this o'er wit." Anna Maria slurred while swaggering over towards the girls. Before she got to them she stumbled over her own feet and fell down face first. Then next thing heard was the longest string of slurred curse words imaginable. "Bugger it all… Go'damn tha' 'urt. Bleedin' 'ell! Ugh!" She moaned while standing up. Anna Maria stumbled the rest of the way and sat down rather clumsily in a chair in front of the group of girls. Elizabeth took over doing Anna Maria's make up while Sarah attempted to comb out Anna's hair.

An hour and a half later Anna Maria was made up, dressed up with her hair done up in pretty tendrils. She was still completely smashed, but when she looked in the full-length mirror she was gob smacked. She hardly recognized the girl in the mirror. "Tha's me?" She asked unbelievingly.

"Yes, That is you." Elizabeth responded.

"I don' believe it."

"Well, you best believe it because that is you in the mirror."

"I look… like a… a woman… Nay, no' a woman… a princess."

"That was the whole idea."

"I know." Annamaria staggered over to her rum stash and gulped down half a bottle in one swig. "So wut now?"

"I don't know… What do you girls think we should do?" There was silence for a bit then Sarah piped up.

"I know. How about we all go down to the kitchen, get some cakes, and a few other sweets… Elizabeth I know you and your love of chocolate so I'm sure you have some hidden somewhere."

"No I don't!" Elizabeth tried to hide her blush, but everyone caught it and laughed, "Ugh! Ok! Fine! I do have quite a bit of chocolate here in the house… And I suppose I can spare some. I had the cook hide it for me. Father hates it when I indulge, but I can't help it. Chocolate is so delicious." Elizabeth said delightedly, then in a hushed candid tone, she added, "and to be quite honest with you girls, it tastes even better during that horrible time of the month, if you know what I mean…?" Elizabeth blushed again.

"Really?"

"Oh yes. You wouldn't believe how I crave it. Father has no clue. Now lets stop jabbering about it and lets go get it." All the girls quietly tip-toed downstairs, into the kitchen to gather their sweets and chocolate then they tip-toed back upstairs into Elizabeth's room, quietly giggling all the way. Once they were sat down they began eating their choice of sweets and began gossiping about everything imaginable. Anna Maria looked at the chocolate wanting some but then afraid to take any. Elizabeth noticed and silently picked up a piece of chocolate and handed it to Anna Maria and whispered to her, "Go ahead, have some. You'll love it." So Anna Maria took the chocolate and ate it. She sat back and listened to the town gossip, eating sweets, and enjoying being just one of the girls for once.

So, be truthful, how was it? I tried to make it entertaining but it was really hard to keep up the "tempo" of the story. I don't like it when a chapter drags in comparison to the rest of the story. It feels like it doesn't fit. But enough of my self criticizing. Next up...The Wedding! That should be a fun chapter. Hopefully I can get it done and out sooner that this one, but don't quote me on a specific time. I had to write the wedding and events leading up to it. I mean the whole reason Jack is there is because of the wedding. Once the wedding is done, I promise there'll be more with Jack and Kendra, I swear on pain of death!
