Jade Labeouf: So, you've been clever enough to unravel this much of my plan, have you? Well, the mysteries of the Isle of the Furbys have not been all revealled yet! Stay tuned- and thanks for the review! ;-)

"You mean, I take the puppet off?" asked Will. "Won't I... be... er... gone?" Everyone caught their breath at the thought of that- no Jack!?
"It isn't worth it!" Said Captain Louis. "I can't risk loosing Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Eh?" said Bill who had been trying to not be confused but by now was comepletely lost.
"But what about Will? We have to know if he's okay too," said Elizabeth. "Don't we?"
"You're right, my dear," said Will standing. "Just one thing I ask before I risk self dissolution?"
"Yes, Will...er... Jack?"
"One last farewell kiss, for the world's greatest lover- and pirate captain?" Elizabeth stared at Will as he smirked exactly like the old Jack Sparrow would have. He tossed his head and winked. Part of her wanted to slap his face, maybe that was just what you did with Jack Sparrow... Another part of her wanted to laugh out loud and give him a hug. She let that side of her win the contest this time. He poised himself for the romantic tidal wave, as she drew near and gave him a cuddle.
"Hey! I said kiss! A kiss, lass!" said Will just before she kissed him. "Okay. Just wanted to make sure, luv!"
"Aw, this is so beautiful!" cried 'Quartetto', burrying his face in AnaMaria's arm. Elizabeth pulled away from Will, and he sighed.
"I suppose it's time I was off," he said looking at the puppet, suddenly he turned back to the crew. "Hey! You all make sure he doesn't loose me, okay?"
"No problem, Jack," said Mr. Gibbs. "No worries." Will smiled thinly, before closing his eyes and tearing the puppet from his hand. A moment passed in silence.
"Nothing happened!" shouted Mr. Gibbs. Just then Will opened his eyes, and looked around.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" cried Will. "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
"No, I think Will's back-" said AnaMaria.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" shouted Will again.
"Easy! Easy lad! Calm down!" said Mr. Gibbs, taking the puppet from him.
"It's alright, Will- everything's okay," said Elizabeth. "Jack's gone, now." Will seemed to calm down a bit, at least enough so he wasn't screaming anymore.
"I'm loosing my mind!" whimpered Will. Elizabeth gave him a hug, to reassure him.
"Don't be upset, there's a perfectly rational explaination for all of this," she said.
"Is there?" asked Will, as he noticed the sash around his waist and pawed the eyeliner around his dark eyes. "For- this? All of this?!"
"Yes, honestly," said Elizabeth as evenly as she could. "Don't thrash about so." She led him by the hand to a toppled column and sat him down. "Do you remember anything?" she asked.
"I remember a lot of things," said Will uncertainly thinking about Ovid-Fabio. "But I am sure that some of them never happened!"
"Well, let's start with Jack- did you remember when you spotted the furby on his head?" said Elizabeth.
"Oh, yes. I remember that- I leaped at it, but it was too late and then Jack ran off and disappeared!" said Will.
"Right. That all happened," Will sighed. At least he did remember something factual. "What happened after that?"
"Well, I... I was just thinking it was all my fault, and Mr.Cotton found that strange doll, and then I picked it up," said Will.
"That all happened as well," said Captain Louis. Elizabeth nodded.
"And then- I don't think I remember," said Will hesitantly.
"You don't *think* you remember? Or you don't remember?" asked Elizabeth. "We need to know, Will- it's important."
"Then... I do remember, I think." said Will, turning a bright scarlet. He sighed, and fixed his eyes on his feet. "Well, after I picked up the puppet, I did something very silly... I put it on. Rash...again..." he sighed once more. "And then, everything got really strange; it's hard to put into words. It was like I was acting the role of Jack Sparrow," he frowned. "And I did and said things, that were not..me, you know?"
"Yes, we do," said Elizabeth. Then she explained the whole thing, with Mr.Dressup's help once again.
"So all of that stuff I remember really happened?" said Will, still a little flustered. Everyone nodded. "Oh, I am so embarrased!"
"Need find hat of Jack!" Will looked down at the furby and drew back.
"Yes, let's get on with our mission," said Captain Louis. "We need to get all of this sorted out, and get Governor Swann's wig back! The furbys have already managed to slow us down for this long."
"Aye, " said Mr. Gibbs.
"So, you kissed me?" asked Will. Elizabeth smiled at him, and he looked rather surprised but didn't say any more.
"Wait, now," said Bill at last. "I just don't get this at all..."
"Ar! " said Mr. Dressup reaching into his pocket.
"Haven't you been paying attention?" asked Captain Louis.
"Oh, aye I know how that all works," said Bill. "I just don't what this all has to do with Jack Sparrow."
"He's our captain," said 'Quartetto' who was now just as confused as Bill. "And he is now a puppet." Bill was stunned by this revelation.
"You mean, *the* Captain Jack Sparrow?" he asked, looking Will over carefully. "Used to be the Captain of the Black Pearl?"
"Aye, that's he!" said Mr. Gibbs. "The present Captain of the Black Pearl, in fact. Did you know him?"
"Oh, long time ago, long long time-" muttered Bill.
"Come now, " said Captain Louis. "I don't mean to interrupt but the longer we stay idle the longer the furbys have to counterattack."
"You're right, of course," said Bill. "We'll let this little fella lead the way," he picked up the furby. "It'll be faster if I carry yuh. What's your name, anyhow?"
"Mitten, oooh.." said the furby.
"Figures," said Bill. "Muffin and Mitten..." he shook his head. "How something could be so cute and yet so evil..."
