Falling from the Sky

"Johnny Depp?" Jack stared at them both quizzically with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey were dreaming right?" I turned to Natalie, seemingly ignoring Jack. Nat nodded but kept her gaze focused on Jack. "OK then...Together?" Nat nodded yet again. "Well then, kiss 'em." I stated turning to look at Jack again. Now both of his eyebrows were arched with a somewhat surprised expression-although he was grinning like a mad man.



"Right, hey wait!" She finally seemed to be listening and thinking about what was going on. She ripped her gaze away from Jack and turned to me. "OK hurt rib remember? Me not getting up any time soon. Why don't you just pinch someone?"

"I would but I'm already feeling the pain." I said flatly. "Besides, isn't it supposed to be you getting pinched by some-one?"

"Thats why I came in to see ye." Jack said, obviously deciding that we were both suffering from brain trauma. Jack pulled a semi-clean rag out of his pocket and I scrunched up my nose as he dipped it in the water and handed to me. "Now tell me, since your in the least pain, whats yer name."

"First." I started taking the rag. "Never tell me where this has been. My names Gwen." I rolled my eyes as I noticed Nat staring at Jack's butt, which he had turned to her because he was facing me. "And thats Natalie." Jack turned to look at her and her head snapped up with a innocent smile, she gave a small wave in greeting.



"Hi'yha Cap'n." Nat was grinning all to broadly.



"Is Will still at Port Royal?" I asked with a glint of hope in my voice. It was Nat's turn to roll her eyes.

"Will hasn't been 'ere in months." Jack narrowed his eyes at me. "How'd ye both get on me Pearl?"



"Wow the Black Pearl! I thought it looked familiar!" Natalie looked around the room with a new vigor.

"I don't know-You tell us." I rolled my eyes. Sheesh that could be some kind of hereditary decease, 'cause my mom has it to. "If I knew I would be back home, in my own time, in a nice white room. The last thing I remember is the crash." I shuddered as I closed my eyes, seeing the crash all over again. The scream, the blood, and the clear spider cracks running down the length of my windshield.



"Well me look out said ye both fell right from the sky!" Jack's voice was raising steadily and his hands were moving around constantly to empathize his point. "The only crash we saw was ye falling onto deck." He pause. "Higher then the crows nest-Lucky yer both still alive." Natalie was trying to stand, but the pain seemed to be to much and she gave up. Jack left the water bowl next to me and headed out the cabin door.

"I'll be back soon loves', gotta get me rum." He smiled his gold teeth flashing. Natalie watched him go until a click signaled we had been locked in the room.

"We are..." Nat paused a moment before turning to me. "dreaming right?"

"Well I know I'm hurting like hell...We were almost in a car crash?" It sounded like a question-at the moment, for all I knew, the car crash could have been the dream.

"We were in a car crash...I-I remember it vividly." Natalie stammered, "Those seat-belts are not as safe as people say they are." She placed her hand over her ribs gently.

"All I got was a nasty cut and a cut wrist..." I looked back down at my wrist examining the damage done. "I don't think this is a dream." I muttered before the door opened again and Jack walked in the room followed by a beautiful dark skinned woman.

"Anamaria right?" I asked watching her with interest, I'd always wanted to know why she had become a pirate, although compairing her lifestyle with Elizabeth's, well I would be a pirate to, I can't stand dresses...Anamaria raised her eyebrows, but didn't question how they knew her name.

"Now ye get out Captain." She spoke sternly walking in front of Jack.

"But I have the rum." He made it sound as though he was needed so he could stay.

"So give it to me." Anamaria snatched it out of Jacks hand and he opened his mouth to say something smart but just narrowed his eyes instead as he got an icy glare from Anamaria. He swaggered out in his trademark walk, someone seeing it for the first time would think he was permanently drunk, or non repairable sea legs. He was mumbling curses under his breath.

"Jack told ye who I was then?" Anamaria asked as she pulled a box out from behind a closet door, or at least I assumed it was a closet door.

"Not re-" Nat started.

"You could say that I suppose." I cut Natalie off talking more to myself then the other two. Nat looked at me as if I were insane. "Well he did, but Will was there." I finished pointedly. A look of reconization came over Nat's face as she remembered the 'smack' in the movie.

"Will Turner hasn't been here in months." Anamaria eyed us quizzically, but most have decided to let it drop since she started pulling clothes from the box. Jack only has breeches and a shirt for one of you." She looked at both the girls. "But he has a dress-I don't think you want to know where it came from." She said with a half smile. "But theres a pair of boots for both of ye under the beds. And.." She paused digging through the box again. "Heres some clean rags to hold yer hair back." She put the clothes on top of the box after closing the lid.

"Why did you decide to become a pirate?" I asked suddenly, I had been thinking on asking that question so much that it had actually slipped out. Both Natalie and Anamaria were looking at me with surprised expressions and I could feel the color rising in my cheeks.

"Well- I love the sea and freedom for one. And what pirates ware is a lot more comfortable then what the fancy folk ware. To busy trying to look good, that they forget to breath...In one of those literal senses." She got a dazed look on her face from just the thought, as if it would satisfy her the rest of her life.

"Oh, cause they don't really explain all that in the movie." Natalie's voice broke the silence, and Anamaria seemed to come back to earth.

"What?" Anamaria's eyebrows furrowed with thought.

"A movie, tons of pictures that move really fast with sounds." Natalie took a moment to think. "Did my book-bag come with me? I know I was holding it when we got into the accident." Natalie looked around the cabin her eyes falling on the black book bag she carried around with her every where. (Literally, I've never seen her without it...) Anamaria's eyes fell on it too and she walked over and picked it up handing it over to Natalie with a interested look.

"Great! I have my life in here!" Natalie started pulling things out-It was like the Mary Popins bag, it shouldn't have been possible to fit all of the junk in there. Me and Anamaria watched intently as a note book, address book, change of clothes (She was going to spend the night at my house), a wallet, Cd player, extra batteries, Cd holder, keys, make up bag, tooth brush and tooth paste (thank god), and much more small objects all came out. The last thing was a magazine with a Pirates of the Caribbean poster on the front, and a Jolly Roger. Natalie passed it to Anamaria before digging in the bag blindly until she smiled again and pulled out a Baby Ruth candy bar. I rolled my eyes as she opened it hungrily and took a large bite. Now that I think about it, it was probably a good thing she had a candy bar, Natalie was hypoglycemic. Which for those of you who don't know, its the opposite of diabetes- but could one day become Diabetes.

Anamaria flipped through the magazine filled with tons of pictures of the first movie.

Ugg, It does have a plot-trust me! LOl and for all you Will and Elizabeth fans, they'll make it in eventually. For those who are wondering, I don't plan on splitting the love birds up just because Gwen likes Will. I just don't see Will and Elizabeth, two people who have loved each other since they first met and for the years following, splitting up. Ok so please review and tell me what you think.
