A/N: Thanx for the reviews guys! I don't own anything but the plot, Rose,
and John.
Rose's POV
I sat in the crow's nest all night. He'll have to sleep sometime and when he does that will be when I make my move. I sat in the bottom of the crow's nest looking up at the pale yellow moon. I wonder how John is? Last time I saw him we were 10. I wonder what he looks like now? I smiled to myself thinking of one of my favorite memories.
~Flashback~
"Hurry up John," I said as I started to climb the watchtower.
"Here take this it's to heavy," he said pushing up a big sack full of coconuts. I grabbed it and quickly swung it over the side of the tower and pulled myself up.
"Here," I said offering him my hand. He took it and I pulled him up. We both grabbed one side of the sack and pulled it across the other side of the big watchtower. We both had to stifle giggles as we watched down below. Down below there was a ceremony for Commodore Norrington who was going to be Admiral. All of the men below wore suffocating white tights and shiny buckles on their shoes.
"Who should I aim for?" he asked pulling out a coconut.
"Hmmm...Oh! I know go for that guard on the end." He quietly sliced the coconut. He carefully stood over the side of the tower and slowly poured the milk all over the top of the guard's head. He quickly pulled back and we both doubled over in laughter. We both slowly peered over the side of the tower to see him unaffected. We slowly did this to all of the guards that were standing right up against the wall. None of them could move. At the time we didn't know why.
"Uh oh, my parents...they're here and so are yours." Said John pointing out two couples across from the tower.
"That means we'll just have to be extra careful," I said with a mischievous grin.
"Is the rope tight?" he asked as I tightened it with all of my might.
"As tight as I can get it," I said looking at the rope that when all the way across this tower to the next. Which went right in the middle of the ceremony. We slowly climbed in the trolley that was decorated with the Britain flag and pulled ourselves slowly across the rope until we were right above the Commodore.
"Alright I'll do it," I said pulling out our last coconut and slicing it open.
"Now you remember the way we excaspe right?" I asked carefully balancing the coconut.
"Of course! I pull the pulley as fast as I can to the to the other side. Then we run to the docks and hide in one of the crow's nests of the nearest ship." He said hanging onto the pulley rope.
"Aright," I said with a sigh as I peered over the side of the trolley.
"John..." I said pulling back quickly.
"I can't do it," I said blushing.
"Ok...well we'll both do it then," he said grabbing the other half of the coconut. He slowly counted to three and peered down. The Commodore was just pulling out a new sword. A sword that Will Turner; John's father had made. I quickly nodded and we poured it all over his new coat.
"Go!" I whispered. He quickly grabbed the rope and pulled as fast as he could. I peered over the edge of the trolley to see the Commodore looking up at the trolley. He had the funniest look on his face.
"GUARDS! GET THEM!" he yelled still staring up at us. He finally noticed I was staring up at him and glared.
"GO!" I screamed. We finally reached the edge of the other tower and climbed over leaving our coconuts behind. The guards weren't to far off. We ran as fast as we could and finally made it to the docks. To our horror the nearest and only hiding spot we could find was the Commodore's favorite ship. Which to our surprise wasn't being guarded. He quickly climbed up onto the crow's nest and cut the ladder. We looked over the side of our hiding spot to see the guards all covered in coconut milk running all over town.
Rose's POV
I smiled at the thought of Norrington's best blue navy coat covered in milk. Then I remembered that John and I had to wash the whole Navy's laundry for the rest of the week. My smile quickly faded at the memory of soap suds and Norrington himself watching us making rude comments and saying we kept on missing spots. Damn him. But it was all worth it. I slowly stood up and stretched to see that it was almost dawn and that my father was no where to be seen. I smiled and slowly crept down the ladder. I tip toed past the sleeping crew and toward the lifeboat. This might just work out. I slowly flipped the lifeboat over to see my father smiling up at me.
"ello luv," he said with a grin. I quickly covered my shocked face with a glare.
"Wouldn't be trying to get away now are we?" He asked standing up and stepping out of the boat. I didn't answer.
"Well if that be the case than I think we'll just have to lock you in your room until we reach Port Royal," he said with a grin as he grabbed my arm. He quickly put me in there and locked the door. My cries would do nothing. WHAT has my mother done to him to make him on her side? Knowing him I don't think I want to know. I sighed and stared out the window. I was trapped on a ship that was sailing to my doom.
