a/n: as per chapter 1

This chapter was not part of the original plan but Ultrawoman and Wolf's shadow and Lemon Zinger seemed to feel the tale was lacking a Sparrabeth element...

I do not own anything to do with the Pirates of the Caribbean, and make no money from them. (Flannelette-I am sailing, I am sailing, to be near you, to be free...)


The Adventures of Flannelette the Pirate Maiden. Part 12


When Lizzie met Jack...

And now it's time

To head for home,

They board the nearest

Ship.

The blacksmith and the Commodore

Aren't talking to each other,

And Lizzie has a change of heart

Regarding Flannelette,

And spends the voyage, quite selflessly

"Consoling" her big brother.


So, as the days

And nights go by,

While Lizzie

"Comforts" Jack,

The blacksmith and the Commodore

Applaud her thoughtful action.

It warms their hearts to see the zeal

With which she takes this on,

Impressed that such a simple task

Could bring such satisfaction.


Before they dock

At Port Royal,

Fair Lizzie must

Decide.

For there are promises to keep

(she knows her Robert Frost)

And Lizzie Swann is not the type

To break a solemn vow.

She knows she'll wed the Commodore

Regardless of the cost.


She breaks the news

To Jack, who seems

Unflatteringly

Calm.

He'd had a lovely time,

But no desire to settle down.

And Lizzie, unexpectedly,

Discovers that her dreams

Concern a certain blacksmith

And herself in wedding gown.


to be continued...

Has Lizzie succeeded in having a more tangled love life than Flannelette?

Surely Flannelette has managed to find herself by now?
