Author's Note: Hi there again. I'm hoping this story will be done soon. I don't want to drag it out too long so that's why I'm making most of the chapters very long. Ok, review.

Chapter 17: Becoming a Pirate

Elizabeth and Samantha continued down the stairs. And whole they were running, Elizabeth thought Samantha looked suspiciously like Danielle. But it wasn't their facial features, it was the way they dressed. They looked too much alike in that respect for it to be coincidence, but Elizabeth never mentioned anything to her because by now they were in the brig.

"It's Elizabeth!" Gibbs said, but as he saw Samantha he was shocked. "And Samantha, too!"

Elizabeth found the keys and proceeded to unlock the cell door and let evryone out.

"Aye, it's been a long time since I've seen ye, Miss Samantha. What happened to ye? Will said ye fell behind." Gibbs said as he, the crew, Elizabeth, and Samantha ran up the stairs. Samantha now felt more confident with facing pirates now that she had a little posse acompanying her.

"Will hit me in the head with an oar and I passed out." Samantha said bluntly.

"Oh."

As everyone got to the top deck and saw he two pirates searching around for whoever was making the noise, they stopped running and slowly tip-toed. While the pirates backs were turned Gibbs along with several others grabbed some ropes that were holding up a small row boat. They pulled down on the ropes and the boat came toppling off, knocking the two pirates, who were ske;etons at this point because the moon was out, off the boat and into the Caribbean.

They all cheered loudly, knowing that the infamous Black Pearl was now in their hands. Elizabeth grabbed Samantha shoulder and they both ran to the row boat so they could push it over. All of this seemed so familiar to Samantha since it was in the movie. But I will remind you again, Samantha was never really paying attention to the movie.

"All of you with Samantha and I!" Elizabeth yelled as she was about to start pushing the boat. "Will is in the cave and we must save him! Ready? And heave." Elizabeth was, by now, doing this by herself along with Samantha, whose only reason for helping her was because she had a score to settle with Will (he hit her in the head with an oar) and Jack (he left her after she got hit in the head with an oar).

Samantha realizaed that no one else was helping the two and she slowly turned around. "Uh, Elizabeth." she said, tapping the woman on the shoulder.

Elizabeth whipped around and stared at the crew in helplessness. "Please, I need your help! C'mon!"

Mr. Cotton's parrot broke the annoying silence. "Any port in the storm."

Mr. Gibbs stood there. "Cotton's right. We got the Pearl." he said motioning to the ship.

"What about Jack, you're just going to leave him?" Elizabeth said, trying to persuade them all to join her.

"Jack owes us a ship." an incredibly short pirate jumped in.

"There's the code to consider." Gibbs said, trying his best to make up excuses.

"The code?!?" Elizabeth cried. "You're pirates! Hang the code and hang the rules!" Elizabeth paused awkwardly. "They're more like guidlines anyway..." she said as she remembered what Barbossa told her.

"You all are so damn lazy." Samantha said. "C'mon Elizabeth." She grabbed Elizabeth and they got the small row boat off the ship and jumped in. And soon they were off to the Isla de Muerta, but Elizabeth was still unhappy.

"Bloody pirates." she muttered.

Samantha was in good spirits, though. She knew Will and Jack would be there and she was ever so happy to be seeing her good buddies again. And when I say "seeing", I mean getting revenge on for leaving her there.

Samantha was becoming very good at the one thing she liked the least: piracy.

*~*~*

Danielle flet a hand grab her shoulder and swin with her to a large ship, which she knew was the Dauntless.

She, Ragetti, and Pintel swam to the Dauntless, which was now filled with fighting pirates and soldiers, and boarded. And since the pirates couldn't die, there were only half as many soldiers as pirates.

Ragetti and Pintel dragged Danielle to a lower deck where the cannons were and the two began firing on the boats filled with soldiers (as well as Norrington) that were heading to the ship.

Danielle felt very awkward firing on the good guys, so she didn't. She just sat there and watched as Ragetti and Pintel had fun.

After a short while of firing at the good guys, Pintel and Ragetti stopped and stared in wonder at the ship near by.

"Oy." Ragetti called out to Pintel and Daniellel who were now staring at the ship as well. Danielle knew what was coming next. "Is it supposed to be doing that?" Ragetti knew what ship it is, but being Ragetti, he was confused as to where tha ship should actually be because now it was floating away.

"It's not supposed to be doing that." Danielle chimed in.

"They're stealing our ship!" Pintel yelled.

"Bloody pirates!" Ragetti said.

Ragetti and Pintel then dragged Danielle to the top deck where the huge battle was taking place. Danielle was ducking from swords and axes and guns. She didn't have it on her schedule that she would die anytime soon.

Suddenly, a large hook came swinging down and Danielle shrieked before ducking but Ragetti didn't realize he needed to duck since he didn't see the hook in the first place and the hook slammed right into the back of his head and knocked his wooden eye out.

"Ah, me eye!"

Danielle stood there, wide-eyed, staring at the rolling eyeball and Ragetti jumped down onto the floor and began crawling around looking for it. Danielle felt bad for him so she got down on the ground as well and she helped him on his search for the eye that really wasn't useful since he couldn't see out of it anyway.

Both of them were crawling around on the floor while an epic batle was taking place directly above them.

And I must say, Danielle was enjoying the life of piracy as well.

Author's Note: Ok, I just wanted to inform you of this: I was thinking about making a sequal to this story, but I had no idea what it would be about. So I'm putting that idea on hold for a while. I have another idea though, and I'm already starting the third chapter for it. It's called A Letter of Concern. It's the story of how Nrrington becam the stuffy, obnoxious, pirate-hating man he was in the movie. And, of course, there will be a big part with Jack Sparrow. Actually, he's one of the stars of my little story, which also talks about how Ragetti lost his eye, the story of Nassau Port (which Elizabeth talks about in the movie), the story of Elizabeth's dress that she was wearing in the movie... and a couple other things I can't remember at this point. But the story is basicly a love triangle revolving around Norrington, my OC, and Jack.

And if I decide not to post that story, I will let you all know.
