Of Pirates, Elves, and Balloons


SUMMARY: What happens when four normal girls go on a cruise with the whole seventh grade? What happens when some go missing? What is Jack Sparrow's real last name? All these questions and more shall be answered in this fanfic!

This is my first attempt at a fanfic so it probably stinks. Oh well! I shall curse fanfiction.com with my awful stories! Mwuahahaha! BTW-it's based on a dream I had, although I did add in some other things. 96% of the characters are real people, just with different names. Jackie and Rachel are real people and those are their real names. Jackie=me author of the story. Rachel=my best friend who told me to write a fanfiction about this story. On fanfiction, she is THECheeseTurkey! So, let the insult to the name story begin after these few messages!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't own anything Lord of the Rings. I also don't own the Pizza Song, that would be Eoin Colfer and I'm writing this because I just might feel the need to start singing it during the story:-D I also don't own the Hollywood.com song which I shall sing right now!

Something, theater listings, theater listings, showtimes, and interviews, trailers, etc. hollywood.com dootdoot

The following story has been PG by...me, due to *some* moderately scary parts which really aren't scary but oh well.

Chapter 1:Of Disappearing and Appearing

Jackie smiled happily. This was the life. On a massive cruise boat with the entire seventh grade heading to the Caribbean. Could this possibly be any cooler? Definitely not.

"Hey Rachel! Hey Catie!" Jackie said as her friends Rachel and Catie appeared.

"Hey Jackie!" Catie and Rachel chimed together.

Perhaps an explanation would be helpful. Jackie (Wavy brown hair, dark brown eyes), Rachel (Curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and gold glasses), Catie (Blonde hair, blue eyes) and their other friend Kianna (Black hair, green eyes) were all on a boat heading from New Hampshire to the Caribbean. Sure it's a long trip (Actually it would take up much of the summer) but it was going to be so fun.

"Want to go watch a movie?" Kianna said walking towards them.

"Sure."

"Why not."

"SGTM"

"Can I have a cookie?"

"Kianna!" Catie, Rachel and Jackie chimed together.

"Just kidding! Hey let's watch "The Return of the King!" Kianna said happily.

"You turkey! It's not out for...58 more days!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Two Towers!" Kianna said.

"Okay!" Jackie said, eager to work on her memorization of the movie.

The four friends walked down to the bottom deck of the cruise ship. Heading towards the movie room, they discussed rumors on the Artemis Fowl movie.

"I heard that it's coming out in March!" Kianna exclaimed.

"That's the new book!" Catie said rolling her eyes.

"Oh." Kianna replied unhappily.

"Closed?!" the four chorused together as they saw the sign on the door.

~~~

Movie Room
Closed until further notice

"A day without LOTR is like a day without air!" Jackie exclaimed.

"What is this madness?!" Rachel yelled to the closed door.

"Okay, then let's have a movie marathon tomorrow!" Catie suggested.

"Let's make a list of all the movies we want to watch!" Rachel added.

The four put their heads together and came out with a short list:

MOVIES:
-The Two Towers
-Pirates of the Caribbean


"Sounds like a good list to me!" Rachel said.

"Kinda short isn't it?" Jackie said pessimistically.

"Who cares?" Catie asked.

It rained the next day and everyone was stuck on the lower decks. The movie room was packed but Jackie, Rachel, Kianna, and Catie managed to squeeze in watching the Two Towers and Pirates of the Caribbean, only the two best movies in the entire world! More than five hours of watching Legolas, Aragorn, Will Turner, and Jack Sparrow fight evil dudes. Life was good!

That night it continued to rain. Now it was harder and thunder and lightning boomed out like an old grandfather clock. No one heard the crash upon the deck as two creatures, a man and a monkey climbed aboard, taking two more with them off the boat. No one realized till morning.

"I didn't do it!" Jackie yelled as she was shaken awake by Kianna. She had done this every day since the cruise had started. "Hey where are Rachel and Catie?"

"I dunno. Maybe they jumped off the boat." Kianna suggested.

"Oh yeah I'm sure that's it!" Jackie said, now fully awake.

"Why don't we take breakfast to go and find them?" Kianna said.
Jackie agreed and they walked up the stairs to find all the seventh graders in various states of dismay and shock. Several were crying and others were shaking their heads in disbelief. Everyone was surrounding a large square that had been marked by caution tape.

"What happened?" Jackie asked no one in particular.

Catie turned around at the sound of Jackie's voice.

"Jackie! Kianna!" Catie said with a squeaky voice, hinting that she had been crying. Catie proceeded to grab them both in a big hug.

"Catie? Where's Rachel?" Kianna asked.

"Gone!" Catie yelled and broke down into tears.

"Gone where?" Jackie asked.

Catie could only point at the large square.

Jackie and Kianna raced through the throngs of seventh graders to the edge of the square. Smack dab in the middle was a big skull and crossbones. Identical to the one on the medallion in Pirates of the Caribbean.

"OMG!" Kianna gasped.

"No! It couldn't be! I thought they were dead!" Jackie exclaimed.

"Who knew the rabid rabbits of Ferwood Farm would want to kidnap Rachel?!" Kianna wondered.

"You birdbrain! No one else is saying it so I will, pirates!" Catie said, finally having finished crying.

*cough*line stealer*cough* Jackie coughed.

"It wasn't the exact line!" Catie defended.

"Riiiiiiiight." Jackie said.

"So the rabid rabbits are in cahoots with the pirates? Wait what pirates?" Kianna asked.

"Who even says cahoots anymore? No! It's just the pirates! The ones who carved the skull and crossbones and x2 into the floor." Jackie explained.

"X2?" Catie wondered.

"X2. Times two! Two captives have been taken!" Kianna said.

The entire seventh grade turned to stare at Kianna. She had actually figured something out!

"OMG! Who's the other person?!" Catie exclaimed.

"OMG what if it's me?!" Kianna screamed.
Good, Kianna's back to normal!

"Wait, where's Darwin?" Catie asked, looking around.

"Darwin and Rachel are gone!" Jackie said.

"What are we going to do?!" Kianna said,"Ooh I know!"
Kianna proceeded to run around the boat. With a shriek, she turned the other way and began to yell.

"Ahhhh! It's the dead pirate wanna-be!"

ALL: confused

"Yohoho and a bottle of rum!" a voice rang out.

ALL: confused

Jack Sparrow climbed up the ladder onto the deck, singing.

Thunk!

A loud noise confirmed that Catie had just fainted.

Jackie could only stutter,"Yyyourr Jaacck Spsparrow!"

"You're supposed to be dead!" Catie said as she got up from the floor, deck, whatever!

"Am I not?" Jack rang out.

Jackie was too surprised even to discreetly cough line stealer.

Thwacka!

This was the sound of another body hitting the deck. This time in a much different way.

A giant sea serpent had just risen from the water. Legolas sat perched atop its head.

With a groan, the sea monster tilted its head forward and Legolas slid down onto the boat.

"What did I miss?"
