AbbieNormal182-Yes, little romantic tinglings, but its WAY too soon. So, ya gotta wait. And thank you sooooo much! I was hoping my fight scenes were getting better; they aren't very easy to write. Thanks so much!
PED-Sarah-Wasn't that eunuch line funny in the commentary! LOL! Hmm, never thought about that, I'll add it in this chappie! Thanks for the review!! And yes, you can throw Jack JUST NOT AT ME! Lol
SuzzieQue-Lol, oh no, Walmart? Can't wait to hear this! And did you see the bloopers? They were hysterical! Especially when Johnny's wig falls off, then the one where he looks up and says, "Is that a plane?" LMAO! You didn't actually review but...thanks anyway? I suppose? Lol
BTW-Someone asked me (I believe it was AbbieNormal182) if I had ever seen a baby be born...yes, well, today in health we watched that very special video showing and detailing the whole thing, so now I can say that I HAVE seen it and it's not pretty. Not to mention the boys in the room were on the floor laughing and the girls were sitting in there seats blushing, making it SO much worse, but I just wanted to inform you that I now know what it looks like...eww...
Chapter 6-Quick Thievery
"Pearl, was that true?" Will asked his daughter, who looked a little frustrated with everyone asking her about her audacious decision to lie to a pirate.
She sighed heavily and looked her father in the eyes. "No, we both fell to the ground and he called it truce before we both killed ourselves. I figured I might as well help him out before his father killed him."
Will sighed. "Well, even though you lied to the man, I'm glad you decided to help Jack out. After all, he is staying for a month."
Pearl nodded her head before replaying in her head what her father had just said. A month? Had he just said a month?
"Wait just a bloody minute there, mate!" Pearl exclaimed, right before her father went to turn. "A month?!"
"Yes, Pearl! A month! There are some problems with the 'Pearl' that needs some fixing, and it'll take at least a month to fix them all." (A/N: Anyone know how to italicize on ff.net? It doesn't work when I do it!)
Pearl sighed heavily before turning off. Sure, she liked Jack and all, but she wasn't sure she wanted him staying for a month. She didn't entirely trust him. She was sure she would somehow grow to trust him...or so she thought.
Walking up the stairs to the balcony above, she saw something that couldn't be real. Jack Jr. was looking at the armoire, rubbing it's surface and admiring it's beautiful finishing when someone caught his eye. A crystal bowl filled with many shiny coins, most likely earned from her father's armory. Silver shillings spilled (A/N: Try saying that 5 times fast!) out of the bowl and onto the armoire surface. Jack picked up a shiny coin, examined it, looked from side to side, and sneakily placed it in his jacket pocket. He turned around and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Pearl, standing there, mouth agape.
"You...you thief!!" She yelled at him. "That's my father's well earned money! How dare you!!"
Jack couldn't believe what a mess he had gotten himself into. "I was just...listen, love, ye got to believe me, I..." Jack's voice faded away. He couldn't even explain what he was doing, because truly, he really didn't know.
"Don't even try, Jack! I know what I saw, so please, don't even try to make up excuses!"
Pearl, who was fuming, clenched her fists and walked right into her room. She put a chair under the doorknob so no one would come in, and burst into tears. Trust? There was no trust between them. ~*~*~*~
Jack sighed, and pulled the coin out of his pocket. He clenched it tight into his fists and slammed it on the armoire.
"My stupid, damn urges! It was a fool's errand, Jack, stealing from your parent's best friends! Why did you even try?!" He whispered fiercely to himself. He placed the coin back in the dish, then placed one of his own coins into the dish. Maybe that would somehow pay for it, but he doubted it.
He sighed, sat in a wooden chair and placed his head in his hands. He JUST gets on Pearl's good side, when he ruins it all with one single move. He stood up from the chair and walked slowly to the door. He brought up a pale, shaking hand, and knocked firmly on the door.
"IF YOU'RE JACK, YOU CAN JUST LIE DOWN AND DIE OUT THERE!" Pearl yelled at the top of her lungs through the wooden door.
Jack leaned back away from the door and sighed. This would never work. But suddenly Jack got an urge to do something that many pirates did anyway.
"And what Jack do ye mean, love?" Jack inquired, deepening his voice and trying to sound a little...well, a little drunk.
"The younger one." Pearl answered, slightly softer but still with the sound of anger dwelling in her voice.
"Well, yer talkin' to the other one, mate." Jack said with his deeper voice. He prayed this would work. "I just wanted to give ye something."
Pearl opened the door instantly, as everyone knows she loves gifts. Jack, knowing she would close it once she saw who it actually was, ran in and sat on her bed.
"GET OUT! I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, making Jack jump.
"Just hear me out, lass, alright?" Jack said, hoping she would consider.
"Why should I? There are no excuses for what you did!" Pearl retorted, turning her back towards him.
He sighed. She was absolutely right. "Pearl...ye don't understand. There are...what ye call 'sudden urges' when yer a pirate; ye see treasure, one thing leads to another, and ye take it. We can't help it. But the thing is...I felt awful afterwards. I put it back. I even put one of my own shillings in the dish, if that helps at all." Jack got up off the bed and left the room quickly. She would never forgive him. ~*~*~*~
At the dinner table, Pearl sat on one side of the table and Jack sat on the other. The parents talked while the offspring sat quietly, staring at their meals.
'I still can't believe he stole from us,' Pearl thought to herself with hatred. 'But he was sincere about how he felt afterwards.' Pearl sighed heavily and continued stabbing her food with a sharp fork.
'Look at her. She's absolutely furious with me. I apologized and she won't even listen.' Jack thought sadly.
"With all due respects," Jack interrupted the conversation. "I think I'll just go to sleep tonight. I'm feelin' a little under the weather, as it were."
Juniper and Jack Sr. exchanged glances and shrugged. Their son had always had a healthy appetite; what was wrong with him now?
"Go on, Jack. Ye don't look too well, anything inside hurtin' ye?" Jack asked his son curiously.
"Well...aye..." Jack answered and he turned to look at Pearl. "My heart." He whispered. Pearl was the only one who heard and looked at him with sadness in her eyes. She quickly looked at her meal again, but Jack saw a crystal tear slide onto her food.
A/N: It may be a little short, but I LOVE where I ended it. So I'll keep it at this and continue in the next chapter.
A/N2: Review, people! Make me feel better! I've been feeling a little sick lately (In fact, I'm so light headed right now that I've been walking like Jack, with the swaying and the bumping into things, its not good...) so reviews will make me feel 100% better! Mentally at least...
