Morning or afternoon or even evening!
Happy Sunday to you all! At last it's Sunday and guess what? I've got no work *dances* I actually have a Sunday off which is great!
I hope everyone has been okay this week? Hmm? To tell you the truth - this week has been so mad I'm glad it's over and done with! It all started with doing two full days at work and then getting a splinter under my fingernail, Saturday wasn't good either but that's a different story all together and THEN yesterday I get a drawing pin aka like a small pin you hang posters up with on boards etc through my foot! Yeah! OUCH! So I wasn't too happy about that!

Okay: Chapter 36 people!
Chapter 36: Meetings, Court and Pirate King? Me?
"In here now!"
"But, you said you would let us go!" Jenna protested as her and James were taken into Cutler's office and pushed towards the sofa he had in there.
"But at the moment, you have no where to go.." Beckett replied, coming into the room after them and putting on a freshly new jacket.
"Let us have a boat, and we shall depart…" James tried reasoning with Beckett as Jenna looked at them both back and forth.
"That is highly unlikely.."
"And why's that? Can you just spare a dingy or something?" Jenna asked, standing next to James and reaching out to hold his hand tightly, she watched Beckett's reaction to her holding James's hand and turned on the spot, walking over to his tea table with his afternoon tea already set up.
"All my boats, ships and 'dinghy's' as you say are otherwise engaged and waiting for further instructions till we have our location for Shipwreck Cove" Beckett explained to the both of them, and sat down at his table without a care.
"YOUR SUCH A BASTARD!"
Jenna jumped back a bit as Norry next to her yelled at Beckett surprisingly and more surprised that he just called him a 'bastard'.
"Ah! Mr Turner…" Beckett nodded away from the couple towards the door where Will was standing, now dried off and looking better than he was.
"Lord Beckett…" Will replied also with a nod, and then looked over to James and Jenna.
"Commodore.."
"He's not a commodore anymore…" Jenna butted in, and stood in front of James.
"I thought you were on Sao Feng's ship..?" Will asked silently as Jenna quickly pulled him into a hug.
"Attacked, very long story.. How's Flik?" Jenna replied, looking at him wondering how her friend was.
"She's…"
"Mr Turner!" Both of them stopped talking instantly to see Beckett standing at the table now, and motioning him to be seated opposite him.
"Please sit, and have some tea - and Miss Hollander, Mr Norrington, please be seated.." Beckett pointed his hand towards the small sofa behind them, they exchanged looks with each other before turning and sitting on the sofa.
"How are we going to get out of this? I don't want to be here when they attack Shipwreck Cove…" Jenna whispered to James as they sat down in unison, her head in her hands thinking.
"He doesn't have the location…" Norry took one of her hands away from her head and held it gently.
"Don't be too sure on that.." Jenna mumbled, and looked over to Beckett and Will about to sip tea when the office door burst open again which made Jenna scream and jump onto Norry's lap for safety.
"I cannot be summoned like some mongrel pup!" Davy Jones's yelled, as he stood there with an angry look set on his face.
"Apparently you can, I believe you know each other?" Beckett replied, pointing his teacup towards Will who looked around raising his cup a little to Jones.
"Come to join my crew again, Master Turner?" Jones's laughed making the whole room slightly vibrate.
Jenna hugged her head more into Norrington's chest as Davy Jones looked around in their general direction with a smirk on his face.
"Not yours, his" Will pointed at Beckett who gave them all a little smile which played on his lips for a few moments but was interrupted as he also looked over at the couple on his sofa.. His face stopped smiling as jealously was beginning to set in but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Jack Sparrow sends his regards…"
"CAPTAIN!" Jenna and James joined in, correcting Will making the others look over to them.
"Sparrow?" Jones replied, confused.
"You've not told him? We rescued Jack and Flik his wench from the locker with the Black Pearl" Will casually said, before taking another sip of tea enjoying the taste.
"OI!" Jenna yelled, frowning and standing up from Norry and going over to Will staring down at him.
"Flik isn't a wench! They are due to be married!" Jenna said to him, pointing her finger in his face.
"Miss Hollander, please be seated…" Beckett's voice said, she looked over to him and looked him up and down - his blue eyes boring into her's, slowly she felt herself beginning to get lost in the blue depths of them but she shook her head quickly to get rid of the feeling, she huffed out loud and went back to her original position of Norry's lap.
"What else have you not told me?" Davy asked, now staring wide eyed at Beckett.
"There is an issue far more troublesome. I believe you are familiar with a person called Calypso.."
Jenna's head whipped from Beckett towards Davy to see his reaction, his body and tentacles shook with anger at the thought of her name, you could see he still had feelings for her but chose to hide them.
"Not a person. A heathen god. One who delights in cursing men with their wildest dreams and then revealing them to be hollow and naught but ash. The world is well rid of her." Jones explained to the pair of them, his mind remembering about what happened to him when he came across Calypso.
"Not quite so well actually. The Brethren Court intends to release her." Will replied to him again and standing up to face tentacles, he stepped forward looking right into Will's face, his eyes now wider than before.
"NO! They cannot! The first court promised to imprison her forever! That was our agreement!"
"Excuse me, Mister Jones…" They all stopped again, and looked over to see Jenna with her hand up in the air as she and Norry watched was happening.
"How long have you been all.. Um… you know, how long have you had the tentacles?" Jenna asked curiously.
"Do yer fear death Miss?" Davy's head cocked to one side and started walking towards her, at that moment Norry stood up making Jenna fall onto the sofa and Norry drew his sword at Jones.
"Leave her be!" James threatened him, which caused Jones to laugh at him.
"ENOUGH!" Beckett shouted to them all, and then stepped between Jones and Norrington.
"Your agreement, Jones? What was that exactly?" Beckett inquired, breaking up the fight as quickly as he could.
"I showed them how to bind her. She could not be trusted. She gave me no choice! We must act before they release her" Jones concluded, shouting at the end.
"You loved her, she's the one and then you betrayed her" Will said to Jones and then sat back down in his chair with his tea cup.
"She pretended to love me! She betrayed me!"
"And after which betrayal did you cut out your heart, I wonder?" Will shrugged, taking his cup back to his lips but before it could reach there, Davy Jones's clawed hand came and knocked it out of his hand, smashing onto the floor.
"Nice going Legolas…" Jenna tutted, rolling her eyes.
"Do not test me…"
"I hadn't finished that. You will free my father, and you will guarantee Elizabeth's safety, along with my own" Will replied, looking down at the smashed tea cup and then back up, glancing looks in between Jones and Lord Beckett.
"Your terms are steep Mr Turner, we will expect fair value in return" Beckett replied to his requests.
"They are stupid requests if you ask me! Why do you always want to save Elizabeth.. I mean…" Jenna began to say but Norry's hand came straight over her mouth silencing the girl quickly and nodding back to the others, Jenna looked annoyed at Norry and rolled her eyes keeping quiet.
"There is only one price I will accept. Calypso murdered!" Jones told the both of them.
"Calypso is aboard the Black Pearl. Jack has sailed the Black Pearl to Shipwreck Cove.." Will again, shrugged to them and turning around with his back to them.
"And with you no longer aboard her, how do you propose to lead us there?" Beckett asked signing out.
At that moment, Will then turned back around to face the two of them, holding up Jack's compass in his left hand and smiling.
"What is it you want most?" Will asked them both, at once Beckett and Jones had smiles on their faces.
"I shall return to the Dutchman, awaiting further orders" Jones nodded and then left them all.
"Mr Mercer, please can you take Mr Turner to the helm and begin to set sail towards the location of Shipwreck Cove with the headings he gives.." Beckett said to Mercer who smirked and walked out of the door also followed by Will who gave a smile towards Jenna's direction.
"Officers, please take Mr Norrington to a spare cabin.. I would like a private word with Miss Hollander if you may.."
"Lord Beckett, She doesn't want a word with you…!" Norrington again protested and then suddenly was grabbed, he shouted and swore as he was taken from the cabin leaving Jenna and Beckett together.
"What is it you want?" Jenna asked, crossing her arms standing opposite him.. Out of the blue and in 2 quick strides - Beckett was forcing her hard against the cabin wall which caused Jenna to scream a little as her back hit the wall with force, her eyes looked up to see Beckett's staring back into hers.
They both stood there in silence, all they could hear was their breathing filling the room.. Jenna didn't know what to think as Beckett held her against the will, his hands holding her waist tightly, so she couldn't break free… that's when it happened, Beckett made the first move.. His eyes closed gently and his head slowly leaned in going towards Jenna.. She knew automatically what he was doing.. He was going to kiss her!
Before Jenna could think, she found herself also leaning her head up gently towards his, her eyes closing and…
Black Pearl
The ship had finally arrived at the outskirts of Shipwreck Cove where Jack and Gibbs were standing on the deck looking at all the ships of different pirate lords just arriving also.
"There's not been a gathering like this in our lifetime" Gibbs said to Jack, and taking a sip of his flask looking out at the other ships in the darkness.
"And I owe them all money…" Jack replied, sighing out loud and turning around and walking away looking around the deck.
"Um.. Abby isn't it?" Jack stopped the young girl who was scurrying past him, she nodded and tipped her straw hat gently towards him.
"Yes Captain?"
"Do you know where Miss Felicity is?" Jack asked, as he continued to look around for her.
"She's in the cabin, Captain.." Abby replied, and then went off to see Ragetti smiling at her - she went up to him and hugged his side gently, biting her lip as he kissed her forehead as they looked out together at the ships.
Flik was in the cabin, looking at several different white shirts in front of her - she was wondering why Jack had so many women shirts aboard? She shrugged and picked up the first shirt and started putting it on, she heard the cabin door go and saw Jack standing there looking at her up and down.
"Wow.."
"What?" Flik asked, as she looked herself up and down - she had changed her clothes into some black boots she found, some new black breeches and a clean white shirt without any dirty marks or burn holes in, she leaned down and grabbed a brown thick belt and began to buckle it around her waist.
"You.. Look like a pirate…" Jack said, as he staggered towards her, wrapping his hands around her waist, planting kisses up and down her neck making Flik's knees turn to jelly.
"Jack…" She moaned slightly, trying to pull away but not having much luck.
"Mmm…" Jack muttered, as he pushed her body gently with his still kissing her neck towards the bed.
"Have we arrived at Shipwreck Cove…?" Flik asked, biting her lip and closing her eyes.
"Yes dearie.. But that can wait.." Jack pulled away, giving her a smile and leaned down to kiss her but the cabin door burst open making them pull away.
"We have arrived…" Barbossa chuckled at the both of them breathless, he rolled his eyes and walked away.
Brethren Court
Flik stepped into the room of the Brethren Court, only to be stared at by several pairs of male eyes looking at her up and down.
Jack grabbed Flik's waist protectively as they both walked together to the centre where the long table was and several people were sitting down at it, Flik recognized a few of the faces from the movie.. There was Mistress Cheng, Jocard, the Spanish pirates and a few others she couldn't think of the names of.
She took a deep breathe as she stopped with Jack looking at all the faces of the people looking at them all.
"Remember, you wanted to come.." Jack whispered in her ear, he and her had another disagreement and he told her to stay with the Black Pearl but Flik wasn't having any of it and wanted to come along to see what it was like and also for another reason.. She wanted to meet Jack's father.. Captain Teague.
"And I'm glad I did…" Flik whispered back to him, and watched Barbossa walk past them both with a cannon ball in his hands - He walked up to the table and started banging it on the table powerfully making the whole room go silent.
"As he who issued summons, I convene this, the fourth Brethren Court. To confirm your lordship and right to be heard, present now your pieces of right, my fellow captains" Barbossa called to them all and motioned for Ragetti and Abby with a large bowl to go around to all the captains.
Flik watched how they put something random into the bowl, there was a random playing card or coin..
"Those are not pieces of eight.. They are junk…" Flik looked around and saw Elizabeth was with them also standing next to Gibbs, the two girls exchanged evil looks between them.
"Aye, the original plan was to use nine pieces of eight to bind Calypso, but when the first court met, the brethren were to a one, skint broke" Gibbs explained to Elizabeth.
"So, change the name.."
"To what? 'Nine pieces of whatever we happened to have in our pockets at the time?' Oh yes Miss Swann, that sounds very piratey.." Gibbs also rolled his eyes at Elizabeth and went quiet as Ragetti and Abby came back to Barbossa.
"Ragetti, If you will.." Barbossa put out his hand to Ragetti with a smile, he looked down at Barbossa's hand and then back up.
"I kept it safe for you, just like you said when you gave it to me.." Ragetti smiled and then smiled to Abby who blushed.
"Aye, you have, but now I need it back.." and with that, Barbossa whacked Ragetti at the back of his head making his false eye fall out into his hand and he put it into the bowl with the others.
"Don't worry, we will get you a new eye…" Abby whispered to Ragetti and handing him an eye patch.
"Thank you Abby…" Ragetti replied to her, leaning in and giving her a small kiss on her lips, Pintel looked at them both puzzled and nudged Ragetti.
"What…?" He asked Pintel, wrapping an arm around Abby.
"Sparrow!" One of the pirate lords named Villanueva yelled over to Jack and Flik, he had noticed that Jack hadn't put in his piece of eight into the bowl.
Jack let go of Flik's waist and smiled, reaching up and touching the coin that hanged from his bandanna which caught that attention of Flik and Barbossa.
"Might I point out that we are still short one pirate lord, and I'm content as a cucumber to wait until Sao Feng joins us" Jack pointed out to him and the others.
At that moment, Flik heard a stabbing sound behind her and quickly turned to see Tai Huang and his men standing there and him with his hand on his sword still.
"Sao Feng is dead. He fell to the Flying Dutchman" He told the others, coming forward.
"HOLD ON!" Flik stopped the room as the chatter began to get loud once more with arguments.
"You're not suppose to be captain.. Jenna is… Where is she? You didn't kill her did you?" Flik asked, staring at Tai Huang.
"I have a message from her, to you… she told me to say that she loves you and she chose her side and she knew you won't approve of it but she followed her heart and she shall see you very soon.." Tai Huang explained to Flik.
"Oh bollocks…" Flik swore, and found a spare seat and sat down, Jack looked at her confused and then back up to Tai Huang.
"And she made you captain? They're just giving the bloody title away now… Flik.. Are you alright luv…?" Jack asked, kneeling down to Flik's level.
"I'll be fine.." Flik half smiled to him, and pushed him to stand back up again.
"Listen, Our location has been betrayed, Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett.. They are on their way here!" Tai Huang explained, which caused the lords to shout and argue in their direction more.
"Who is this betrayer?" One of them shouted in their direction.
"Not likely anyone among us…" Barbossa smiled to them all, and looking over to Jack who was too busy looking down at Flik.
"Will…" Elizabeth breathed out, realizing where her so called fiancée was really, she looked back over to Jack and Flik, and then at Barbossa.
"He happens to be not among us.." Barbossa told her and then continued..
"And it matters not how they found us! The question is, what will we do now that they have?" Barbossa asked them all.
"WE FIGHT!" Elizabeth shouted loudly, which the whole room cackled into laughter and smiles, Mistress Cheng stood up and turned herself to face Elizabeth.
"Shipwreck Cove is a fortress, a well supplied fortress. There is no need to fight if they cannot get to us.." She explained but was then interrupted by Barbossa banging his cannon ball back on the table.
"There is a third course. In another age, at this very spot, the first court captured
the sea goddess, and bound her in her bones. That was a mistake. Oh, we tamed the seas for ourselves, aye, but opened the door to Beckett and his ilk. Better were the days when mastery of seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but from the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of his back alone. Y'all know this to be true. Gentlemen, ladies. We must free Calypso…." Barbossa explained to them all, which made the room go deadly quiet.
"Shoot him!"
"Cut out his tongue!"
"Oh! I will chop off his beard!" Flik joined in with the chants from the other pirate lords, now standing with Jack once again and smiling over to Barbossa.
"Shoot him and cut out his tongue, then shoot his tongue and I agree.. Chop off his beard.." Jack smirked to Flik and then at Barbossa giving them both the evil eye which made Flik stick out her tongue to him.
"Sao Feng would have agreed with Barbossa!" Tai Huang injected to them, raising his voice.
"Well, Sao Feng isn't here..!" Flik raised an eyebrow and shook her head.
"Calypso was our enemy then, she will be our enemy now!" Jocard nodded and so did the other pirate lords.
"And it's not likely her mood's improved!" The french pirate lord stood up, voicing his opinion across the room, which made the Spanish pirate lord Villanueva to shout also.
"I would still agree with Sao Feng! We release Calypso!" He nodded to Barbossa who nodded back to him with an agreement.
"You threaten me?" The french man yelled, his eyes wide at the other pirate.
"I silence you!"
Then all hell broke loose, there was flying glass bottles been thrown, the Spanish pirate had now come over the table and started to fight the french man, everyone was shouting and Flik didn't know what to do.
"Wow.. This is madness" Flik quickly said, stealing Fish lips line off her before she opened her mouth.
"This is politics.." Jack reassured them both, Flik then screamed when she saw a glass bottle fly in her direction making her duck down and fall over onto the floor.
"Meanwhile our enemies are bearing down upon us!" Elizabeth continued, none of them realizing Flik on the floor.
"If they not be here already…"
"Some help please…?" Barbossa, Elizabeth and Jack all looked down to see Flik laying on the floor, with her hands in the air waiting for someone to pull her up.
Barbossa tutted and leaned down and helped the girl to her feet, then walking away and climbing onto a chair and stepping onto the table but before he could reach for his gun - Flik came up behind him and grabbed it, and firing it into the air which made her scream a little, she looked around to see the pirate lords looking at her wondering who she was.
"I've always wanted to do that…" Flik spoke up gently, and Barbossa then grabbed his gun from her, pushing her from the table into the arms of Jack.
"Stupid woman.. Can't you control her Jack? It was the first court what imprisoned Calypso, and we will be the ones to set her free, and in her gratitude she will see fit to grant us boons!" Barbossa told them all, and they all nodded with each other going back to their seats.
"Control her? I would never do that! And whose boons? Your boons? Utterly deceptive twaddle speak, says I!" Jack replied to Barbossa's statement, looking wide eyed at him.
"Yeah, what Jack said - You do speak jibberish Mcbeardy!" Flik replied, smiling at Barbossa again.
"If you have a better alternative.. Please share.." Barbossa stepped down from the table, his arm out stretched to the pirate lords that were listening.
"Cuttlefish. Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish. Flippant glorious little sausages. Pen 'em up together and they'll devour each other without a second thought. Human nature, isn't it?...or...or fish nature" Jack began explaining, he let go of Flik and began walking around the members of the pirate lords, putting his hands on Mistress Cheng's shoulders but quickly moving on towards the others till he reached the end of the table.
"So yes, we could hole up here well provisioned and well armed and half of us would be dead within the month, which seems grim to me any way you slice it. Or, as my learned colleague so naively suggests, we could release Calypso, and we can pray that she will be merciful. I rather doubt it. Can we in fact pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned, like which fury hell hath no? We cannot. Resipso loquitur tabula in naufragio*, we are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the I'm going to say this, but with Miss Swann.. We must fight."
"You've only ever run from a fight!" Barbossa argued with him from across the room.
"I have not!"
"You have too!"
"Have not!"
"He hasn't! He's always come back!" Flik argued along with Barbossa and Jack, moving through the crowd to Jack.
"He has too! And He knows it!" Barbossa shouted back to them.
"Have not, slander and calumny! I have only ever embraced that oldest and noblest pirate traditions. I submit here and now, that is what we all must do, we must fight.. To run away!"
"I'm not running away from anything!" Flik looked at Jack, crossing her arms.. She heard Barbossa laugh slightly from across the room again.
"Aye! I agree with Jack!" Gibbs yelled with a few other pirates including Abby.
"As per the code, an act of war, and this be exactly that, can only be declared by the pirate king" Barbossa said with a smile on his face and crossing his arms as well.
"You made that up!" Flik and Jack said in unison to him.
"Did I now? I call on Captain Teague.. Keeper of the code…" Barbossa smiled evilly at Jack.
Flik felt Jack's arm around her stiffened and his eye's broaden at the sound of 'Captain Teague', she half smiled and wrapped her arm around Jack and nudged him gently with her arm.
"It be fine Jack.." She whispered, kissing his neck softly which made him loosen his grip around her and he smiled back to her.
"We could just run away now.. You and me…" Jack mumbled back to her, making sure no one else could hear.. As they were talking the Indian pirate lord's assistant stood up and started talking to the other lords.
"I'm not running Jack…" Flik told him seriously, looking into his eyes.
"Luv…"
Suddenly a gun shot rang out from behind him, Flik jumped in the air in shock and stumbled but Jack caught her and steadier her.
"Code is law…" Flik heard a voice behind them, it was a deep English voice which sounded like the man had been smoking about 50 cigarette's a day, she slowly turned to see there was an abandoned ship and a man standing on the plank between the decking and ship. She gulped as she looked at him as he started to move, he was dressed like how Jack would dress but differently, his hair was long and black and he had so many earrings hanging from his ear, his hat was also black.. He put his pistol away and stopped behind Jack and her.
"You're in my way boy.." He told Jack, and with one movement Jack grabbed Flik's hand and moved her to one side so he could come to the table.
Behind Captain Teague there was two old men with grey beards, dressed in black suits carrying a heavy book to the table and settling it down.
"Oh, isn't that Morgan and Bartholomew?" Abby pointed to the two men as she stood with Ragetti at the back of the room peering over several heads.
Then out of the blue, the prison guard dog appeared from the ship as Captain Teague whistled with keys jingling from it's mouth.
"How did…?" Pintel and Ragetti looked at each other in amazement at the dog which was left on the Island with the cannibals.
"Sea turtles…" Flik called across to them before Teague could say it, he looked at her and she then kept quiet. Teague opened the heavy book and looked through several pages and stopped, his finger going down and reading.
"Barbossa is right.." Captain Teague concluded, and looked up to him and he smiled and bowed to the rest of the court.
"Show off!" Flik shouted once again, frowning at him and then she gasped as Barbossa stuck out his tongue to her!
"Hang on a minute…" Jack came over, Flik to his side and he checked the code himself.
"It shall be the duty of the king to declare war, parlay with said adversaries.. Fancy that!" Jack concluded.
"There's not been a king since the first court, and that's not likely to change!" The Spanish pirate shouted, Captain Teague at this point had gone back over to his ship and sat down picking up his guitar, strumming a few strings.
"Not likely.." He mumbled to himself.
"Why not?" Elizabeth asked, looking at Gibbs for an answer.
"Because the king is elected by popular vote"
"And each pirate only ever votes for himself…" Barbossa butted into the conversation between them and watched the other pirates stand up in turn.
"I call for a vote!" Jack cheered with a smile.
"I vote for Ammand, the corsair!"
"Captain Chevalle, the penniless French man!"
"Sesumbhajee votes for SeSumbhajee"
"Mistress Cheng!"
"Gentleman Jocard!"
"Elizabeth Swann" Elizabeth threw her name into the mix just for fun.
"Barbossa"
"Villanueva!"
"Felicity Todd!" Flik called, smiling at Jack and the others.
"Felicity Todd…" Jack called out, Flik's eyes widen and she took a step back from Jack.
"WHAT?"
"WHAT!" Barbossa and Elizabeth yelled in unison, coming over.
"No, no, no… Jack.. Listen I'm not a pirate, and your suppose to vote for Elizabeth.."
Flik argued with him, shaking him slightly too trying to put some sense into him!
"I know, curious isn't it..?" Jack replied to her, smiling and kissing her forehead, Flik couldnt believe it - she wasn't suppose to be the pirate king!
"Pirate King... me? NO!" Flik kept protesting, once again the room burst out into shouts again, yelling at Jack mainly.
"You are suppose to vote for me!"
"She's not a pirate!" Mistress Cheng called, pointing at Flik who nodded with her.
"Yes! My point!" Flik looked at Jack again.
"Am I to understand that you lot will not be keeping to the code then?" Jack asked them all.. At that moment, Captain Teague's guitar string broke and the room went quiet again.
"Very well.. What say you Felicity Todd, king of the Brethren Court?" Mistress Cheng said, and then every pirate had their eyes on Flik staring at her awaiting for her to say something.
Flik gulped, her eyes still wide as she looked around and then at Jack.
"I'm so going to regret this.. But, I happen to agree with Miss Fish Lips Swann.. We must prepare every vessel that floats, we're at war" Flik closed her eyes and said to the rest of them, she had to say that line even though it killed her to say something else but Flik remembered the movie and she knew she had to.
Then the real SeSumbhajee and not his assistant stood up and nodded with Flik…
"And so, we shall go to war!" He said, his voice high and sounded like he had been on helium which made Flik giggle gently, all the pirates then rose up and began moving away from the table back to their ships yelling and talking to themselves, Flik looked around the room and her eyes settled on Abby and Ragetti who were kissing again, Abby stopped and spotted Flik looking at her and waved.
"Miss Abby..." Barbossa nodded at her and then down to the bowl with the pieces of junk in, she nodded back to him and grabbed Ragetti and hit the bowl under his jacket and they walked out leaving Flik, Jack and Captain Teague alone in the room.
Flik then looked away from them and noticed Jack wasn't by her side anymore, she looked back around to see him walking over to Captain Teague..
"What? You've seen it all, done it all, you survived. That's the trick isn't it? To survive.." Jack said as he walked and stopped infront of the man.
"It's not just about living forever, Jackie. The trick is, living with yourself forever.." Teague replied to him, then Jack turned from him and motioned his hand over to Flik who slowly came over to his side.
"But I won't be living with myself forever… Captain Teague, meet Felicity Todd.. The woman I'm going to marry, Flik.. Meet my dad.." Jack finally introduced the both of them.
"Marry?" Teague repeated to him, shocked and looking at Jack.
"Yes… Marry…" Jack rolled his eyes, and held Flik's hand with the ring on confirming it to him.
"Marry you say?" Captain Teague repeated again, looking at Flik, at that point Flik stuck out her hand towards Captain Teague which took him back by surprise, she smiled at him and slightly gulped wondering what he thought of her, Jack must of heard her thoughts because his hand gripped a little more tightly in his.
"It's nice to meet you, I.. I like your guitar playing skills, and oh you can call me Flik.." She smiled at him, and slowly Teague's hand came up and shook it and then planting a kiss on her hand.
"Merci, Miss Flik.. Are you sure you want to marry my Jackie, he is a ladies man.." He smiled at her, Jack then quickly brushed her hand away from his dad's and smiled, before Flik could answer - Jack nodded.
"She does, don't you luv..." Jack replied, smiling at Flik whom nodded at him and smiled back at Captain Teague.
"Yes, I do.." Flik replied.
"Hows's mum..." Jack then asked randomly, his eyebrows knitting in the middle..
Captain Teague then brought up a shrunken head, rotting away with an cross as a mouth and straw like hair to show them both.
"Oh, she looks great!" Jack made a face as he lowered it back down.
"Are you sure you want to get married Jackie..?" Teague asked the both of them, Jack looked at Flik for a moment, half smiling and brushing some stray hair out of her eyes.
"I do.. And I want you to perform the wedding…"
Turning to Flik, he held her hands with his and smiled down at her without blinking.
"Will you marry me tonight Felicity Todd…?"
