The Black Pearl

"It's my father. We've made it back! Father! Father, here, look here!" She called to the Governor in the boat. Jack let go of Maisie and went over to Flat Face.

"Elizabeth. We're not back."

"Oh shit..." Maisie muttered under her breath.

"Father!" Flat Face called to the Governor.

"Elizabeth. Are you dead?" He called back.

"I wish..." Maisie mumbled. Flat Face continued to follow the Governor, shaking her head.

"I think I am."

"No, you can't be!"

"There was this chest, you see" The Governor said. Maisie looked over at Will, whose head perked up. "It's odd, at the time it seemed so important." The Governor continued.

"Come aboard!" Flat Face called, but the Governor was still in his little trance.

"And a heart. I learned that if you stab the heart, yours must take its place." He explained. Maisie went over to Jack, who was listening intently.

"And you will sail the seas for eternity. The Dutchman must have a captain. Silly thing to die for." He huffed at the end.

"Someone cast a line!" Flat Face ordered. "Come back with us!"

Marty hesitated for a moment and went to grab a spare coil. Flat Face freaked out and ran over, grabbing the rope from him. Tia Dalma came up to Will.

"A touch...of destiny." She said. Flat Face threw the line and it hit the Governor's boat.

"Take the line!" Flat Face called.

"I'm so proud of you, Elizabeth." The Governor said sadly, forcing a smile.

"Father, take the line! Take the line!" Flat Face cried. The line slipped off the Governor's boat and Flat Face ran to the helm.

"She must not leave the ship!" Tia Dalma said. Will and Erin ran after Flat Face. Maisie and Jack didn't budge, and continued to stare out at the dead people-infested water.

"No! I won't leave you!" Flat Face cried as Will tore her from the ratlines.

"I'll give your love to your mother, shall I?" The Governor said, as he finally passed the Pearl. Will had finally pried her off the ratlines, and Erin took her by the shoulders.

"Chill out, Elizabeth." Erin's chocolate eyes burrowed into Flat Face's.

"Is there a way?" Will asked. Tia Dalma shook her head.

"Him at peace."

The heat was almost unbearable, especially for Maisie. She rested her head on Jack's shoulder as he wrapped an arm around her, studying the map. Erin went over to sit by the lamenting Flat Face.

"Hey, Elizabeth." She plopped down. "How are ya?" Flat Face didn't move. Instead, she stared at her feet. Erin stood up and followed Will, who was now talking to Gibbs.

"Why doesn't he do something?"

"Who? Hat Man?" Erin looped her arm through Will's. He nodded.

"There's no sense to it." Gibbs said.

"And the green flash happens at sunset...not sunrise." Will added.

"Over the edge. Ah, it's driving me over the bloomin' edge!"

By this time, Maisie had woken up from her little nap.

"Hello there, luv." Jack smiled as she batted her eyes open. He kissed her cheek and went back to studying the map.

"Come up with anything yet?" Maisie asked, her head not leaving his shoulder.

"Not yet. Oh!" Jack turned one of the rings on the chart. "Up is down. Well, that's just maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?"

Maisie was about to say something but was interrupted by Jack. "What? Eh?...Come again?...Well that's even more than less than unhelpful...I love the sea...I prefer rum. Rum's good."

Maisie sighed and stood up, leaving Jack to his little insane moment. She went over to Will and Erin, who were kissing on the foredeck.

"Ahem?" Maisie cleared her throat. The couple quickly pulled away and turned to face her.

"Hi, Mai." Erin muttered, her eyes wide with embarrassment. "Where's Jack?"

"Going insane..er." Maisie shrugged.

"Oh."

"What's that?" They heard Jack yell. He ran to the railing. Maisie came up next to him.

"What is that? I don't know, what do you think?"

"Where?" Maisie stole Gibbs's line.

"There."

"Ah!" Jack ran to the port side. A couple more people, including Tia Dalma and Erin joined. Jack turned and ran to the other side.

"What is it?" Flat Face asked, joining in.

"Eh...blulululuh!" Jack said, running to the other side.

"He's rocking the ship." Pintel said, noticing the movement.

"We're rocking the ship, baby! Woo!" Maisie stole Gibbs's line once again, waving to Pintel. Jack smiled and took her hand as they ran back and forth.

"Time it with the swell!" Barbossa suggested, going down below. Maisie laughed as the spotted Pintel and Ragetti tied upside down on the mizzen mast.

"Eh! Eh! This is worse than Kim's cross country!" Erin panted, reminding Maisie of the harsh coach.

"Keep going, Erin! We can do it!" Maisie called. By this time, the boat began to keel. They ran up one last time and grabbed the rail. Jack held onto Maisie and Will did the same to Erin. Their legs came out from under them.

"NYEAAAAH!" Maisie screamed, partially scared, partially excited. Finally, the Pearl began to capsize.

"Now up...is down!" Jack stated proudly as they were lowered into the sea below. Will fell off, and began to sink. Erin let go of the railing and sunk down, grabbing onto a line and then reaching out for Will's hand. He took it, and she pulled him into the safety of the ratlines. Jack kept a good grip on Maisie as they waited for the sun to go down. Suddenly, the green flash lit and the Pearl accelerated towards the real world, drenching the entire ship and its crew. Maisie spewed out water and coughed.

"Blessed sweet westerlies!" Gibbs stood up. "We're back!"

"It's the sunrise!" Erin said, stealing Flat Face's line. Maisie went over to Jack and gave him a big, wet (literally) kiss.

"Good thinking, Cap'n Jack!" She smiled, pulling out of the kiss. Suddenly, Barbossa pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Jack. Then Will, Gibbs and Flat Face drew theirs, pointing them at each other. Maisie grabbed some crew member's pistol and stepped in between Flat Face and Barbossa.

"Oi! Mai! No-no, luv!" Jack said. Maisie began to laugh awkwardly, and everyone followed. They lowered their guns, but then quickly drew them again.

"Alright then!" Barbossa said. "The Brethren Court is a-gathering at Shipwreck Cove, and Jack you and I are a-going. There'll be no arguing that point."

"I is arguing the point. If there's pirates a-gathering, I'm pointing my ship the other way." Jack stated.

"The pirates are gathering to fight Beckett, and you're a pirate!" Flat Face said, pointing both of her guns at Jack.

"Tell us something we don't know, Flat Face!" Maisie glared.

"Fight or not, you're not running, Jack." Will said, pointing both of his guns at him.

"If we don't stand together, they'll hunt us down one by one till there'll be none left...but you." Barbossa said.

"Quite like the sound of that. Captain Jack Sparrow, the last pirate. With his beautiful Maiden Maisie, of course!" Jack said, winking at Maisie.

"Aye." Barbossa stepped forward, left pistol at Jack, right pistol pointing to Maisie. "And you'll be fighting Jones alone. And how does that figure into your plan?"

"I'm still working on that. But we won't be going back to the Locker, mate. Count on that." Jack raised his pistol and fired at Barbossa. Nothing but a little squirt of water came out. Maisie smiled and pulled the trigger of her pistol. She loved this part of the movie.

"Wet powder." Gibbs sighed.

"Wait! We can still use them as clubs!" Pintel yelled. Maisie smiled and went over to Jack, looping her arm through his.

"Beautiful Maiden Maisie, eh?"

"Always," Jack leaned down and gave her a quick kiss. Will took Erin's hand and they went to go find the charts.
