Author's Note: Um, I haven't done this in a while but THANK YOU ALL FOR
REVIEWING! You have no idea what it means to me! And in my appreciation,
I give you a very long chapter! :-)
By the way, I'm giving you this chapter over the week because I had no school today (everything is all icy so schools are closed) so I was bored.

Chapter 19: Sailing Along
The cave was silent.
Jack stood their, motionless for a moment. Will stared at Jack and Eliazbeth looked confused and scared, not unlike Samantha (who had fianlly stopped about six feet away from Jack).
Will and Elizabeth walked towards each other and Samantha walked towards Jack, who had now gallvanted off towards large piles of gold near by. First Samantha would deal with Jack, and then she would deal with Will. She decided to let Will and Elizabeth have some "special time" at the moment.
Samantha walked up to him just as Jack plopped a gold, jewel-encrusted crown on top of his head.
Jack looked at her and smiled. "Hello, there." he said as was continued digging through piles of gold.
Samantha wanted to hit him, strangle him, slap him, kick him... anything that involved her injuring him. But she couldn't. She just couldn't. So she gave him a hug instead.
"You saved me, Jack. Thank you." Samantha said in a nice, almost quiet, voice as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave the biggest hug she could muster.
Jack was confused, to say the least. That was the last thing he expected Samantha to do since she did have a right to be angry. He knew he shouldn't have left her, but he was disoriented and lost after he woke up from Will's oar-bashing episode so he just went on his merry way. He was gald to see that she was alright, though.
"Your welcome." he whispered. "Now, I suggest you stuff your clothes with as much gold as possible. Take what you want. Give nothin' back." he said a little more loudly, smiling. He then glanced over to Will and Elizabeth to realize that Elizabeth was no longer standing in front of Will.
Jack grabbed Samantha's arm, after she had taken as much gold as she wanted, and he dragged her over to Will. "If you were waiting for the opportune moment," Jack said to Will as he and Samantha trotted up to him, "that was it. Now, if you'd be so kind, I'd be much oblidged if you'd drop me and Sammi off at my ship." Elizabeth had heard these words and she began to make her way over towards Jack.
Will looked at Samantha (who was kind of confused about whether or not to go on Jack's ship) and she gave him a cold, menacing stare. It was a glare that could've killed someone and so he quickly looked away.
I didn't mean to-" Will began but he was qucikly cut off.
"You left me there with those pirates, WILLIAM TURNER! I was almost killed! How could you!" Samnantha interrupted. "You know what," she continued coldly, "I don't want to know. I don't care." Samantha's plan was to get revenge on the two men that left her there, but she ended up hugging one and simply giving the other the cold shoulder.
"Jack," Elizabeth said as she stepped in, "You can't be dropped off at your ship."
"What! Why?!?"
"It's no longer there... They left."
'That;s right.' Samantha thought to herself. She remembered that not to long ago the Black Pearl refused to come back for Jack because he owed them a ship.
And so the four of them left the cave and rowed towards the Dauntless. Samantha was almost disappointed with not going back to the Black Pearl but she was pleased with how much gold she had. Jack was all in a huff because his ship had left. Will refused to look at Samantha or talk to Elizabeth. And Elizabeth was depressed that she couldn't marry Will and that she was now obligated to marry the stuffy Commodore Norrington.
As they got on the Dauntless, soldiers, sailors, and Norrington were waiting for them on deck.
"Welcome back, Mr. Sparrow. I was hoping to see you again." Norrington said with a wicked smile. "And hello Elizabeth... and Will." and as he said Will's name you could almost see the hate that rolled off his tongue. "And I see you have that little friend of yours." he said as he looked at Samantha.
The deck was empty except for a few soldiers because the Pearl crew had, by now, been taken to the brig.
Governor Swann made his way over to the five of them and he smiled. "Ah Elizabeth," he said, placing his hands on her shoulders, "I am so pleased you're all right."
"I believe we all are, Governor Swann." Jack said while smiling, looking to Will and then Norrington.
Governor Swann then looked at Jack. "And you, you shall be hung tomorrow at dawn. So shall your friend." he said, nodding to Samantha.
"Father, wait!" Elizabeth chimed in. "You can't kill him and you certainly can't kill her. She did nothing wrong. In fact, she helped me!"
"No, Elizabeth!" Governor Swann tried to say as nicely as possible. "They are pirates and they shall be hung shortly before the Black Pearl crew are hung."
Elizabeth and her father began to bicker, and then Norrington and Jack began to bicker (because Jack began to make comments about Elizabeth). Will stood there helplessly and Samantha just stood there. She didn't care about the fight, actually, she didn't even realize it was going on. She was caught up in her own little world at this point, trying to comprehend the fact that tomorrow she was going to be hung (and she was supposed to be hung anyway). And the really sad thing about that was couldn't remember if Jack died at the end of the movie or not.
"Put them each in separate rooms on the deck. The jail is filled with the other pirates so there is no room down there. Elizabeth and you shall share a room, Governor Swann. Will shall have another room. And Jack Sparrow and this young woman here shall have a room." Ah yes, the voice of reason above the chaos. Of couse, we all know that was Norrington trying to be, well... Norrington.
Soldiers hauled them off to their rooms. Elizabeth was kicking and yelling, Will was just simmering in his own anger, Jack was depressed, and Samantha was kicking and yelling (about how she's not a pirate) as well.
Samantha sat there in a room all night with Jack Sparrow. Now wouldn't we all love that ladies? But that's besides the point. Jack demanded that Samantha sleep on the bed while he would sleep on a not-so-comfy chair near by. And after much bickering, Jack won, surprisingly...
Samantha, being completely exhausted, fell asleep almost the second her head hit the pillows. Jack, on the other hand, was wide-awake. He knew he liked Samantha and that he enjoyed her company. Perhaps she wasn't the most lady-like, well-mannered, supposed-to-be-seen-and-not-heard woman in the world, but she was unique and that's what Jack admired most.
So the Dauntless sailed along and shortly (maybe and hour or two) before the sun rose, the ship reached Port Royal.
*~*~*
The only thing that really happened to Danielle was she sat there with Pintel and Ragetti and that other insane, mumbling pirate, Twigg.
She was on the verge of tears (since she just knew that she would be hung) when she heard walking and yelling coming from the upper deck. She didn't realize who it was at first, but then she remembered that Jack, Will, and Elizabeth had to come on board because the Black Pearl had left.
She was desperately hoping that Jack and Will (or at least Jack) would show up in the brig, but when the footsteps became distant and the yelling died down, she slouched over knowing that she was doomed.
"Damn, this sucks." she mumbled to herself.
"...her fault... she did it... shouldn't have believed her..."
Danielle glanced up to see Twigg on the other side of the cell, still talking to himself. He looked enraged and depressed all at the same time and that wasn't a good combination.
"How about you shut up, Twigg?" Danielle said sternly. She wasn't in the happiest of moods and her voice fully expressed that. Twigg immediately shut up.
Only days before all this she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. She knew she should've listened to her gut instinct and now she completely regretted it.
Danielle fell asleep in the most uncomfortable position ever. She was sitting on a wooden bench, leaning up against the side of the ship. Her neck was slightly bent over and her arms were crossed in a leave-me-alone- I'm-really-pissed-off way and her legs were crossed as well.
She had kicked Pintel and Ragetti off their seats because she was getting a little uncomfortable with their smelly pirate breath swirling around her. She was dirty enough already. She hadn't had a decent bath in days. The waters of the Caribbean are what pirates bath in. But have they ever heard of a bar of soap? Or shampoo? I think not...
And so Danielle sat there, dirty, cold, helpless, alone, and terribly hungry.
"...all her fault..."
"Damnit, would you shut up!?" And with those last words, Danielle fell into a dreamless sleep.
So the Dauntless sailed along and shortly (maybe and hour or two) before the sun rose, the ship reached Port Royal.

Author's Note: Sorry Danielle's side of the chapter was so short. I couldn't really come up with anything for her right now. But I have wonderful ideas for both Danielle and Samantha in the last chapters... ;-)
