*A/N; listen guys we know full well that that song was from Chicago, (it
was Tay's idea to put it in) it just fit really well with the story line,
sry if u have a problem with it, but we're not making any money off this
and when we joined ff.net we already gave up any rights to the stuff we
didn't own, so disclaimers are a waste of time in my opinion on this site.
Oh yes and there's a song from Coyote Ugly here too, and just incase the
flamers are real idiots; no we don't own that one either. Thanx-

Adelyn glared at a grinning and hand-cuffed Jack as they stuffed her into her dress. The other girls were being shoved around as well, all into the dresses the captain had ordered they wear. Low cut, off the shoulder skimpy things, which had short skirts as well, just above their knees.
"I can't believe you did this!" she snarled at him. His smile grew and he shrugged.
"You dirty bastard, I hope you rot in hell!" she spat at him.
"I'll be right beside you all the way doll!" he snickered.
She screamed through her teeth.
"Are you ready fer some fun mates?" she could hear the captain bellowing to his ship mates on the stage.
They hollered and hooted back.
"Are you ready to see the girls?"
They hollered even louder and Ady rolled her eyes.
"Then 'ere they are! Girls!"
The curtain rose and they all got into place. For a moment everything was silent. The spotlight was put on Adelyn and her gaze rose and she smiled.
"Ya'll want some music then?" she asked.
They screamed and bellowed back.
"Then start it up boys!" and loud fiddles and such could be heard right off the stage.
"Well I say girls,
The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal"
Roz started singing now, the spotlight on her.
"When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what
"I guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you"
Then Chase started singing, all the girls were off the stage now. Dancing in the aisles, flirting with the half drunken men around them.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"
Tabitha smiled and started after Chase finished,
"The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
Then they all sang together
"Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
and if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
but if you lose the devil gets your soul."
Adelyn looked over at Jack and had to fight the urge not to react too much, when she saw that the guard looking after him was lying unconscious on the floor at his feet and Jack was holding the keys. Rozalind jabbed her in the ribs and she quickly got back to dancing, cart wheeling, and then landing in a split. She couldn't help but look over at Jack again to verify what she saw. He wasn't hand cuffed anymore and was smiling at her devilishly. She returned the smile and suddenly got an idea.
"The devil opened up his case
and he said I'll start this show
and fire flew from his fingertips
as he rosined up his bow" she sang, she grabbed a rope and swung over the audience, landing in the back with Roz. She stood next to her best friend and started whispering her plan. Roz slowly began to smirk and quickly nodded.
"Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this." Avy sang.
The girls stopped and all did splits then arched backwards, moaning loudly. This of course made the men all stand and lean forward to see closer. Just when it seemed like they'd suddenly turned to statues, they all jumped up and soared into the audience of pirates. Every girl went at what ever man was in front of her and Jack was in the crowd helping as soon as he saw what they were doing. They punched, kicked, even bit their savvy little hearts out, but even their aggressiveness was outweighed by the sheer size of most of these men. They needed help and they needed it then and there.

Back on the Pearl..
"What d ya thinks goin' on mate?" Gibbs asked Will as they looked on and listened to what, unbeknownst to them, was a large brawl going on inside the ships hull.
"I think those girls are making trouble again." He squinted at the ship, "Everybody grab a rope!" he shouted at the rest of the crew, whom Jack had ordered stay on board, having not needed to deal with more than the girls at that point in time.
"We're going on board." And with that they all glided to the ship, black, smooth figures in the shadow of the vessel in front of them.
~~~
"Jack we need help! Might you by chance be able get the boys somehow?" Ady shouted as she came around with a high kick to one, then flipped, switching feet and doing the same to another, ending up against Jack's back.
"Oh yes, I'll just go get them now. Would you like me to order a round of drinks on my way?" He returned her question sarcastically.
"Damn!" she cursed under her now deep breathing. They were surrounded by five men.
"Got any more ideas love?" Jack asked, rather apprehensive about the whole death thing.
Her lips curved upwards as she noticed familiar figures gathering at the door.
"No, but Will might. Care to ask him?" she inquired, lunging forward and using her small size to slither through the two men in front of her. She ran and turned around, now standing next to Will and watching the scene in front of them.
"'Ello!" she greeted him, "Care to help out?"
He grabbed the wooden support board above their heads and used it to kick forward with both feet at the bulky man rushing them both. He fell instantly knocked out and Will was back on his feet again.
"Maybe just a little." He smiled at her and they went off in different directions.
Adelyn was doing rather well and was begining to feel quite hopeful. That is until she heard a loud scream from the other side of the room. Her head snapped up and her heart stopped.
The captain was dragging her sister out through another door on the opposite side of the room.
She began running towards her, but there were so many people in her way!
'Where's yer damn sword when ya bloody need it!' She thought to her self.
She was still only half way through the room and loosing time fast. Adelyn looked around frantically.
Suddenly she was knocked off her feet by both Roz and Allister being pushed into her from both sides.
She rose as fast as she could, and then noticed almost all the rutty men were back up. Both sides were some what separated now though. As she looked around she saw why. The other men had thrown her men (and women) over to the opposite side of the room.
'This is just lovely isn't it!' She mused to herself
They all charged once more, but suddenly some one shouted her name. Ady spun around just in time to catch a sword. She almost began looking for its source, but had to use the bloody thing to slice at man lunging at her.
Once she'd cut up a good deal of the men, she again bumped against Jack while sword fighting another pirate.
"Isn't this fun doll?" he asked her, in the middle of his own battle.
"Jack," she turned sideways to dodge a lethal jab at her heart, "If we live through this; remind me to repay you for this mess!" and with that she hopped up on a table and jumped over the man she was sword fighting, then leaned forward on one leg and with that she no longer had to fight the man any more. Ady suddenly realized her path to the door her sister had been dragged out of was free. She looked on in utter hope that her friends would be alright, and then dashed out the door.
~~~
"Oh bloody 'ell...." Ady murmured as she saw what was on the other side of the door. MORE doors. It was a hallway with at least 6 doors on each side. She began frantically throwing each door open and yelling out her sister's name.
"ADELYN!!!!" Her sister's reply echoed like a bell through Ady's ears. She ran to the door in which she thought her sister was in. Running through the door frame a sight met her eyes.
A sudden drop. Her sister was hanging off the ship, clinging to she slippery wood for dear life. Ady looked out horrified. Nothing. The stupid door lead to nothing.
She knelt down and started helping her sister up.
She had her sister out and was hugging her for dear life, "Oh Avy, dun' ever do that again."
Her sister looked at her as if she were crazy, "I don't hang off of ships regularly ya know?"
"I know i just-" She was cut off someone ripping the two sisters apart. Ady looked up, it was the captain, holding the sword she had thrown off to help her sister.
Behind him her sister mouthed the word, "HELP" then ran outta the door with the captain not noticing. Adelyn hoped that meant she was going to get someone.
"Ya caused a lil too muich trouble on my ship, dun' ya think?" He said grinning maliciously. She gave a feeble nod and a small scared smile. Maybe agreeing with him would help she thought.
Suddenly there were footsteps, and then the door swung open, Jack was standing there sword in hand! The captain had to think of something quick. He grabbed Adelyn by the back of her dress and held her over the dark sea.
Jack's eyes went wide, "You dun' really wanna do that do you?" He said trying to be smooth.
The captain gave a terrifying grin, "Oh, but I do." And with that he let Adelyn go.
Jack heard a scream and a splash, with that he swung his sword at the captain.
~~~
On her way down, she'd managed to grab a rope just before hitting the water. She held her breath and gripped at the rope as best she could. The waves were tossing her around like a rag doll. After many unsuccessful attempts, she got a stable foot on the base of the ship and used her arms to pull herself up. Her face broke the water and she gasped for breathe before slipping again, this time loosing the rope and sinking.
~~~
The captain knocked Jack's sword out of his hands and kicked him down.
"And I believe I'll be wantin' to do this as well." he said raising his sword.
Suddenly a slicing could be heard from behind the large man, along with a feminine grunt. The captain's face lost its expression and he fell beside Jack, dead as stone.
Jack sprung up and stood next to a panting Avelyn.
"I don't think that was part of his plan, eh?" Jack asked the young girl. She turned to him, then ran to the open door and looked out.
"My sister!" she gasped.
"Aye, I am sorry about that Av, I'll be gettin' me boys now." he said turning and attempted to walk out. She grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back so harshly that he fell on his back.
"Where you two not given enough love as children or were you just born this way?" Jack choked out, now on his back for the second time that day.
Avy knelt and pressed a finger into his chest as she spoke.
"You will go retrieve my sister on your free will Captain, or I shall be forced to throw you out." she threatened, meaning every word.
"Right love, lemme just go fetch yer sister then." He gave a weak smile.
"That ya will." She said holding everything he was handing her.
He walked over to the opening, looked back at Avelyn who was watching with an expression of stone, then jumped off grumbling to himself.
He dove into the water looking around for any sign of Adelyn.
Nothing.
He swam around for some time. Then came up to the surface for air, bearing nothing to show an awaiting Avy. He looked at her from the water, pleading to just come aboard and not continue looking for what was already lost. But her eyes instructed him different and he dove down once more.
Suddenly he felt something brush against his ankle. He spun around and felt relief pour over him as he wrapped his arms around the limp creature, kicking to the surface. He grabbed the rope she'd previously slipped from, and then heaved up until he came to the open door. Avy scooped her sister up, struggling to help her on board. As soon as she was, she let go of the rope and forgot about Jack. He ended up flying backwards, slipping down a bit in the process thanks to the rocking of the boat. The ship rocked back again and he slammed into the ship, and then slowly recovering, hobbled aboard.
"Oh Adelyn...." Avy said her eyes beginning to well up with tears. It didn't look like she was breathing.
"Ady please wake up..."
Jack looked at the girl holding her presumed to be dead sister.
Avelyn must have been hugging her a little too tight because all of a sudden, Adelyn's eyes flew open and she began coughing up a large amount of water she must have swallowed.
"Ady!" the younger girls arms flew around her older sister in a tight embrace.
"Can't...breathe." she choked.
Jack pried Avelyn off.
"Give 'er some room love, there we are. How do you feel then?"
"Like I almost drowned." she spat at him.
"Very good, that's quite normal." he said rather cheerfully.
Jack turned around as Will came into the room with a large smile. "I believe you all are free to go back to The Pearl now."
Behind Jack's back Adelyn was mocking him, mouthing the words with a crude expression on her face, "Very good that's quite normal."
Will looked to her. "Why are you all wet?"
~~~
That night, Ady sat on Jack's bed once again, her dress in shreds. He'd managed to find the alcohol and the cotton this time and was treating the girls' wounds one by one with the help of Will.
Will was dabbing some salve on a rather large wound going up the front of Rane's calf. He looked up at her and gave her a quick half-smile. She forced a smile back through the pain. She was rather new at this at only eighteen. When he looked down again, she sighed.
"Ow!" Ray gasped.
He looked up apologetically, "Sorry. I know my hands are rough, I'm a blacksmith in my free time." he explained with a shrug.
She smiled at him in understanding, "It's alright mate, pirates skin ain't exactly silk either." she chuckled. He smiled back.
Avelyn watched the two curiously, unconscious jealousy flowing through her veins. She'd never been good with men. Or love at all for that matter. Or maybe love just hadn't been good with her? She gasped suddenly as her thoughts were interrupted by a cold liquid pouring over her knee and a harsh stinging shooting up her thigh.
"Ow!! Bloody 'ell! What'd ya do that for!" she shouted, looking down.
"Yer knee has a rather large gash in it...or hadn't you noticed?" Jack asked from the floor.
"Well of course I noticed, I was there when it 'appended!" she said, crossing her arms tightly under her chest and sitting back in her chair, eyes still meticulously watching his every move.
"Oh do stop you're belly achin', it's just for a minute, eh?" he replied.
She gave a heavy sigh, then bit her bottom lip and winced when he started pouring alcohol again. He patted her leg dry.
"All done then." he said rising.
"Ow!" she swore at his back.
"I didn't even touch you!"
"Do shut-up, it wasn't you, I bit me lip too 'ard. It's bleedin' now." she explained, she turned leaving, "Honestly, man thinks he's the center of the bloody universe!" she growled to herself.
"Don't think love, I know it!" he called back. She slammed cabin door.
