Thanks for reviews, they mean a lot to me. Gives me great confidence. Now, I'm beginning to run out of ideas for the story, so if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I'll consider them and see how they fit. Anyway please enjoy!
Note: Ok, who ever writes me a note and tells me when something is, or when this takes place, or how I should write, just stop. Let me write MYstory the way Iwant it written. If you don't like how I'm writing it, don't read it. Just don't tell me how to write my story. And to the people who are criticizing when piracy takes place, it took place between the 15th to 18th centuries. So if you don't like my story, go write your own.
Disclaimer: I only say this so I don't get sued, I own nothing, Disney owns everything.
Chapter 14: Brawl at the Docks
Will was at the docks with Nick. He was helping the merchants unload their ships. He had his shirt off in the hot sun, the lash scars and his recent scabs for the lashings clearly shone on his sweaty back, his baldrick draped over his shoulder. Nick was reading with his feet dangling over the edge of the dock into the water.
"Why are you doing this anyway?" asked Nick looking up from his book.
"I get paid," said Will as he set down a box. "Why would I say no to money?"
"Cause money isn't everything," said Nick.
"Yeah, well we'll see how far you get in life," said Will sitting down on the dock. Nick then pushed Will off of the dock. Will's head popped up from the surface of the water. He shook his head and brushed his hair out of his face.
"Hey!" Will splashed Nick right in the face. Will then pulled on Nick's feet and pulled him right into the water. Nick then dunked Will in the water. Will's head going clean under. Suddenly Nick got pulled under the water also. Both came sputtering above the surface. Will was laughing really hard.
"It's not funny, Will!" Nick yelled as he climbed back on the dock.
"Sure it is, you just don't have a sense of humor," said Will climbing up next to him.
"I do have a sense of humor, it's just not cruel like yours," said Nick, shaking his head to, splaying water everywhere.
"It's not cruel, it's just…different," said Will also shaking his head.
"Hey! Turner!" Will and Nick looked down the dock to see a tall, chubby, brown haired boy. He was a good deal bigger than both Will and Nick. Will rolled his eyes and stood up.
"What do you want, Buckner?" Butch Buckner stomped right up to Will, within an inch of his face.
"You are dead, Turner!"
"Tell me something I don't know," said Will. Someone always wanted him dead.
"Butch has a zit," Nick piped up. Both Will and Butch looked at Nick. Both had a confused look on their faces. Nick shrugged.
"Well, he does, right on his forehead. And you didn't know that, did you?" Will closed his eyes and sighed.
"Oh my god, Nick. And people call my an idiot."
"The idiot," Nick paraphrased.
"Shut up!" Will turned back to Butch. Butch looked totally confused on what had just happened. You could see the gears grinding in his head, trying to process it all.
"Ok, yeah, whatever. As I said before, you are dead, Turner."
"And what are you going to do, Buckner? Go running to your daddy," challenged Will. Nick just sadly shook his head and sat down on the dock to watch the transaction.
"No, I'm going to deal with you on my own," threatened Butch.
"Wow, that's a first," said Will nonchalantly. Butch's furious face started to get red, the way his father's did when he was mad.
"You publicly humiliated my father and me," he said, enraged.
"Yeah, well, that's not exactly a difficult thing to do, now is it?" said Will. Nick put his face in his hands.
"You lousy, good for nothing, bloody pirate!" yelled Butch, grabbing Will's baldrick.
"I'm not going to agree nor deny that accusation," said Will. Butch looked lost, no clue what Will just said.
"It means yes and no," said Will slowly." Oh, and just for the record, you're a lousy, goody two shoes, wig wearing, fat, daddy's boy."
Suddenly pain erupted in Will's jaw, making him fall to the ground, as Butch punched him. Will spit out a tooth, one of his molars. It bounced across the dock. Will looked up to see Butch standing over him with a satisfied smile. Will launched forward and grabbed around Butch's legs, causing Butch to topple. Nick just sat there, stunned. Will jumped onto Butch's back, sitting down and sticking his feet in Butch's face.
Butch tossed Will off his back, Will flying through the air. He landed hard on the dock and Butch stood up, looking satisfied. Will sprang up and pile drived Butch causing them both to land painfully on the dock. Will got sucker punched in the face. He flew off once again. Will started round housing Butch on his side. He was hitting him with powerful roundhouse kicks, left and right, every second. Left and right, hopping from one foot to the other. Nick ran up and tried to drag Will away from Butch.
"Nick, get off!" He struggled as Nick tugged.
"Oh, going to have your wimp of a brother bale you out?" said Butch in a baby voice.
"Nick, bud out!" will pushed Nick away, causing him to fall into the water as Will tackled Butch…again. Butch threw Will off himself and as he went to get up, but he found a sword tip up against his throat. Will was standing over him, sword out. A shocked and angry look crossed Butch's face.
"You cheated!" he said rage obvious in his eyes and voice.
"Pirate," Will pointed out.
"Aaaahhhh….so you admit it." A hand slapped down on his shoulder.
