Another boring day. Another endlessly long party. And more boring people. Jennifer stared around at the party, the ringlets framing her face still hot from the curlers. She headed for the outside, glad that no one was bothering her.
"Jenny!" Called a voice. Jen turned. There was a girl bounding towards her, smiling and waving. Jen grinned. At last. Some excitement.
"Well, it's been awhile!" The girl, Amy, said cheerfully, meanwhile pulling Jen away from the crowds out onto the balcony, where no ladies or gentlemen lingered for fear of mussing their wigs or curls.
"I can't believe how many stuck up, prickish people there are in Port Royale!" Jen confided. Amy grinned.
"I know. To think, we found an entire room of them! Not a single good looking man among the lot of them!" Amy said breezily, leaning on the railing.
"And even the decent ones are too stupid to even remember why they came in the first place." Jen sighed. Suddenly, another girl was seen coming towards them. Slightly shorter than Jen, with long blonde curls and wearing a cheerful blue dress, the girl was bounding towards them. Amy pasted a smile on her face and turned around to look the opposite way over the balcony.
"Oh look. It's your sister. Nicole. How.wonderful." Amy griped out of the corner of her mouth. Jen grinned. Ever since Amy had overheard Nicole saying she looked like a pug dog, they hadn't been the best of friends. Nicole finally reached them, standing next to Jen.
"Everyone's sitting down to dinner, come on Jen. Oh, hello Amy." She said, barely bothering to mask her distaste, a sickly sweet smile gracing her face. Amy smiled back with equal enmity.
"Nicole. A pleasure, as always." The three heard the dinner bell ring. There was a slight increase in volume from the room as the lords and ladies rushed to get to the food. Nicole and Amy headed in. A sudden rustling caused Jen to turn. Nicole noticed and paused. She reached out and took hold of Jen's arm.
"Come on! If we miss the opening speech, Father will be angry with the pair of us!" Nicole insisted. Jen grabbed the railing, peering over into the bushes below. Suddenly, a figure leapt out of the bushes and ran into the building. Slowly, Jen turned around, finally giving in to being pulled into the house. Everyone was still being seated. Jen sighed with both relief and boredom. Her stomach was completely empty, and so food would be welcome. But sitting there talking was a complete waste of time. Suddenly, two shots were fired. Screams erupted into the air; there was a loud scuffling as the people at the table tried to get under the table. Nicole and Jen looked around. There was nowhere for them to hide. A man holding a smoking gun swaggered through the entrance doors. Jen scrutinized him quickly. Long dark hair run down his shoulders, inhabited by a few strands of beads. He was grinning, revealing a couple of golden teeth. He had a red sash around his waist, and a dark vest over his white shirt, which was open to reveal his dark chest. Jen glanced down. Not that she was looking or anything. Forcing her eyes to avoid his open shirt, she glanced at him again. She smiled slightly at the sight of his gold teeth. 'A man who carries his fortune with him. How interesting.' She thought dryly. Then she realized that the dining hall was now fence in by more of the rough looking men. And.was that a woman dressed like a man? Incredible. They were.pirates!
"Everybody stay calm!" A loud voice shouted. Jen's attention snapped back to the pirate with the gun, who was now speaking. "We are taking over your party. Give us no trouble," the man called out, "and we'll give you no trouble. So don't worry. Just keep ducking there, and we'll be out of your way in no time, savvy?" The man grinned and tucked away his gun. The men began to take food off the table, filling large sacks. They made a few people stand up, and took away their jewelry and finery. A few women were crying, some shaking. The men either cowered in fear, or stood stoically in quiet outrage. No one had noticed Nicole and Jen. The pirates began to exit, swiftly and quietly, running into shadow and cover. Finally, only three pirates were left. Two were holding guns out, ready to make their leave. One of the pirates was the first one Jen had seen. He was holding crystal bottles of alcohol and rum.
"Hurry up Jack!" One pirate hissed. Jen realized it was the female one.
"All in good time, luv. Never rush a man whose busy with his treasures." The man named Jack countered. The female pirate scowled.
"Norrington is on his way, Captain." She said 'captain' sarcastically, as if the man didn't deserve the title.
"Ah. That changes things." Jack said. Suddenly, Jen realized they were heading towards the two of them.
"Quick, hide!" Jen hissed. She realized there was a closet nearby. Flinging open the door, she shoved Nicole inside and was about to scurry inside and shut the door when she felt a hand grip her arm. Freezing, she allowed herself to be turned around. The captain was standing before her, studying her.
"Yes?" She asked. The captain grinned. He smelled salty, like the ocean air. He released her and took a step back.
"What's a pretty thing like you doing all alone in the middle of such a wonderful party?" The man asked sarcastically. Jen scowled, and was about to reply when Nicole stepped out of the closet.
"Not alone." Nicole stated. She caught sigh to the pirate she was speaking to, and her jaw dropped. Suddenly, she rushed up to him, hugging him tightly about the chest.
"But if you'd like to be alone with me, that's fine!" She squealed, looking up excitedly into his dark brown eyes. He grinned, and patted Nicole on the arm, then forced her off him.
"All in good time, luv." He turned to the other two pirates. "We're bringing 'em along, men. Er, ladies. Er, pirates." Jack fixed. The third pirate scowled. He was short and stocky, with rather large whiskery sideburns.
"Din' know we was takin' on captives, Jack." The man rasped. Jack scowled, shoving Nicole at the female pirate, who grabbed her arm.
"I'm the captain Gibbs. And they're not captives. I just want to see the look on Norrington's face when he realizes we've escaped again!" Taking hold of Jen's arm, the five ran out of the room. 'Well at least I found someone interesting!' Jen thought.
Please review people! See what lies ahead for Jen and Nicole. Will Nicole get her moment alone? Will Jen get an adventure, or a headache? Also, please read my other stories on WhiteWave6621. They're POTC too! Thanks!
