despite his absence!) nor anything that the great minds created (POTC), no
one from the movie or anything from the movie.
Jack was at the helm, as usual. The crew was hurrying around, Anna Maria hovering near the helm to take over, Gibbs standing the crow's nest. Elizabeth was standing near Jack and Anna Maria, leaning lazily against the side of the ship. Jack was singing loudly his favorite song, whilst Anna Maria scowled. Elizabeth tapped Jack on the shoulder.
"Does this stupid boat go any faster, Jack Sparrow?" Jack sighed without turning to face her, stopping his song in the middle of the chorus.
"Never insult my Pearl. She's a ship, luv. And is she wants to go faster she will.but now she's resting. And for the MILLIONTH time luv, I'm a captain." Jack corrected. "Now leave me in peace, I'm fine all by my onesies, without you insulting my beloved."
"Yes," Sneered Anna Maria, "perhaps you could make yerself useful for a spell." Elizabeth stopped glaring at Jack, shocked.
"All right. I will then. What will you have me do?" She asked.
"Oh, go climb the rigging, Liz. We all know how well ya' did last time you tried." Jack drawled lazily. (He's referring to another story 'A Sword, and Mission, and Rum' when Elizabeth sees Will walking up in the sails and tries to climb the riggings to get him down) Elizabeth turned red and scowled at Jack.
"Try swabbing the decks. Those soft hands could use some work." Anna Maria remarked.
"Fine. Just show me what to do." Snapped Elizabeth in a somewhat aggravated tone. Anna Maria led Elizabeth over to the edge of the boat and handed her a bucket.
"Put it over the side and get some water in it. Then pull it back up. Here's a brush." Anna Maria handed Elizabeth a scrubbing brush. Elizabeth threw the bucket over the side, careful to grab the rope attached to the bucket. Once she saw the water get in, she began to pull it back up. It was almost up when suddenly, it began to pull itself back down to the water. Elizabeth dropped the brush and clung with two hands to the rope. It was dragging her with it.
"Jack!" Elizabeth squealed. She was right up against the railing now, still being pulled. But Jack was singing again, and sounding very off key.
"Jack!" Elizabeth shrieked.
"Yes Lizzy, invigorating isn't it? Sing with me!" Jack shouted back.
"JACK SPARROW GET YOUR DRUKEN BUTT OVER HERE AND GIVE ME A HAND!" She shouted.
"So touchy these days. Women." Jack grumbled, heading over to help her. Jack grabbed the bucket with one hand and yanked. A weather worn hand came up with the rope. Elizabeth shrieked, while Jack grabbed the hand and pulled up a smirking Anna Maria. The bucket and Anna Maria were promptly pulled on deck and Elizabeth dropped the rope and hurried away. Meanwhile, Anna Maria stood with Jack, watching her go.
"What was that about?" Asked Jack, sounding very confused. He was staring at his bottle of rum, as if it would tell him the answer should he just take a drink.
"Jack Sparrow!" Anna Maria said angrily. Jack turned.
"What?" He asked, ready to defend his innocence. But suddenly, Anna Maria leaned in and pressed her lips upon his. Taken by surprise, Jack nearly stumbled, but managed to remain upright. He dropped the bottle of rum and with one of his hands reached up to touch her cheek. Abruptly, she stopped the kiss and stepped back. Her eyes looked angry, and she was wearing her scowl.
"You!" She sputtered, before hurrying away. And Jack was left standing in drunken surprise, curious and confused. He picked up the rum bottle (now empty) and touched his finger to his lips.
"Interesting."
JACKFAN2 - Wow, how'd you know there might be something going on here?
