Chapter Twenty-eight: French… Pure Genius
"Jack? Jack? Are you here?" asked Beth once she got to the beach.
"Bethy…" he said.
"JACK!" she yelled. She ran toward him, flinging herself at him just as Lissie had done to Will, who she could see kissing out of the corner of her eye, except one thing was different. When she flung herself into his arms, she managed to make him fall over into the sand, causing her to land on top of him.
"It's so great to see you," he said as his brown eyes met her green ones. And with that, they kissed each other.
"I've missed you so much!" she said between a kiss.
"Ssshhh, let's set the record for kissing the longest. Although, it looks like we've got some tough competition," he said, looking over for a split second at Lissie and Will."
Both guys had changed so much, but it had to be the outfits. Jack was wearing a white long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and he still had his crazy dreadlocks and beads woven into his hair. Beth smiled into his mouth… it felt so good to be with him again.
On the other side of the beach, Lissie and Will were letting their mouths do the talking—in two ways. The normal talking, and kissing like the world was falling and this was their last moments on earth. But even if the world were falling apart around them, Lissie wouldn't have noticed. She was in his arms, holding him, kissing him. She never felt more safe and secure.
Both couples kissed nonstop until the sunset.
Five minutes later, they were in Beth's apartment. They would have been there sooner, but after a brief argument of which couple would get the back seat, Beth and Jack ended up losing. So Will and Lissie ended up kissing nonstop, and more the reason Beth drove that car at 70 miles per hour two blocks down to their complex, and nearly running over a little kid trying to get his basketball that had just rolled across the street. Then, they found themselves in Beth's apartment.
"So, how did you two come back?" asked Lissie once she snuggled herself in Will's arms.
Jack dug something out of his pocket, with some difficulty; Beth was sitting on his lap. Finally, he pulled out a gold chain, which Beth and Lissie immediately recognized.
"The medallion!" they said together.
"That's the same one we got transported back with—" Lissie started.
"And the same one that Barbossa's monkey stole at the end!" said Beth.
"Well, Jack's the genius. He's the one that came to Port Royal and got me to do this," said Will.
"Are you saying he had to force you to?" asked Lissie, suspiciously.
"No! Would I really not do this? Lissie, you're my one true love, I'd do anything for you."
"Yeah, and same goes for you, Bethy."
"Why, I'm flattered, seeing as back in Tortuga, you were cheating on about five women at a time."
"Actually—"
Beth slapped him lightly across the face. Jack laughed, along with Will and Lissie.
"So, if you took the medallion, then you didn't feel anything? Back at the beach, you didn't feel me kissing you?" asked Lissie to Will.
"Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did. But first, you have to understand, we took two medallions of our own, and along the way to Isle de Muerta, we met up with Jack—the monkey. So, we took that one off him, so that in case we wanted to get back for a while, we could just hop in the pool."
"But, when we got the medallion and ended up in Port Royal, we didn't have the medallion with us," exclaimed Beth.
"Ah, but you see, the medallion wasn't yours to begin with. It belonged to Elizabeth at the time. Now, it belongs to us," said Jack.
"So then, how did you return the medallions that you took?" asked Lissie.
"You see, we knew you two were from 2003, and from Illinois, so we took a cruise to the set of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean—"
"Which is great, by the way, really awesome movie showin' the adventure very well—"
"Jack," said Will, impatiently.
"Apologies, please continue. You tell stories better than me."
"It must be the 300 years of hanging around you. But anyways, we took the medallions, and put them back into the chest, and mind you, people thought we were the actual 'Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp', so we ended up getting mobbed a couple of times."
"Screaming girls begging for autographs—they're all crazy!" said Jack.
"Well, who could blame them," said Beth, her head on his chest.
"Three hundred years of waiting… and we thought two weeks was bad!" said Lissie.
"It was worth it," said Jack and Will together.
"So, you're still willing to become Mrs. Turner?" asked Will.
"Yeah, and you're still willing to become Mrs. Sparrow?" asked Jack to Beth.
"Duh!" said Lissie.
"I'm still wearing this, aren't I?" said Beth, indicating her engagement ring.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"You'd better."
"Well, Will, Lissie, Beth and I have some…er…celebrating to do, so please, I don't mean to be rude when I say this, but… GET OUT!"
"No offense taken," said Will back, smiling.
"Yeah, well, same here. Allow me to show you my apartment, Will."
"Right you are, Lissie Turner."
"Ah, music to my ears," said Lissie. The next thing she knew, Will had picked her up in his arms like he had so many times before and started to walk across the hall.
As soon as the Turners were out in the hallway, Jack had slammed the door shut, and turned to Beth.
"I love you," he said as he closed the gap between them.
"I love you too," she said before he kissed her.
This was one of the many reasons why Beth thought the French were geniuses.
Meanwhile, back in Lissie's apartment, Will and Lissie were thinking the same thing. French were geniuses, besides the fact that they invented mayonaise and parley.
*The actual Lissie speaking*
"And so ends the tale of two couples going through hardships, love, and 'death'."
Beth: "Lissie! HEY! STOP BLABBING ON! YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY!"
Lissie: "What? I am? YIPEE! I'M FULFILLING MY DUTY! Maybe this way I'll get more reviews…" *nudge nudge wink wink*
Beth: "My point is… WRITE A SEQUEL OR TWO! Any one else want that?"
Readers: *Shouting and screaming "YES!"*
Lissie: "Okay, okay, it was REALLY fun writing this, but be on the lookout, I may make some changes to this if I get time. And I do have some ideas of a sequel… would you guys like to hear about the weddings? Or some hilarious moments? OR anything else? Gimme an email, telling me your opinions! I'll most likely listen! Lol."
Beth: "Finally. Oh yeah, Lissie, you'd better tell them why you didn't update in so long. I heard about you inbox getting exploded."
Lissie: "Actually, that was mostly Zach… but I got grounded people, so I'm TERRIBLY sorry about the inconvenience and if your eyes are stuck to your computer screen, I hold no responsibility. And I got a total of… (drumroll) 46 NEW MESSAGES!!!! And I was only off for a week!!! Geez, but thanks for all the reviews!!!"
Beth: "Oh, yeah! Lissie, get your lazy butt away from your DVD player and GET WORKING ON YOUR SEQUEL!"
Lissie: "GASP! How DARE you?! I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean!"
Beth: "Oh look, it's your least favorite part."
Lissie: (looks at the screen and sees *eye twitches* Will and Elizabeth kissing) "You're right. You can turn it off now."
THE END…
Or is it?
OH MY GOD I'M ACTUALLY DONE WITH IT! NOW, ONTO THE OTHER STORIES ABOUT ORLANDO!!! REVIEW AND YOU'LL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!! (Like George Washington and Rudolph!) But, you have to PROMISE me that you'll go see Return of the King and make it a blockbuster hit!!!! And for Beth's sake, go see the latest Johnny Depp movie too.
Toodles,
Lissie
