********************

Jack swaggered out of the ship. Will, Natalie, Elizabeth, and the rest of the crew followed him. They headed into the heart of the city, Tortuga. The townspeople were all giving them strange looks.

"Is is me, or does everyone here seem ticked off?" asked Natalie.

"Yeah, they're acting quite unusual," Will said.

They went into all of the stores and pubs in the whole city. But, sitll there was no rum to be found. A girl with short brown hair that was holding hands with a guy with long, blonde hair and blue eyes. They were both skipping around and yelling, "Dude, where's our rum?!"

"Hey...that guy looks like Legolas!" Natalie said.

"He is! I'm Jesse! We're looking for rum!" said the girl

"So are we!" Will said.

"Can we come with you?"

"No," Jack said.

"He's hot," Natalie said. She then cowered when she saw the look on Will's face. "You're hotter!" she said.

They then continued on their quest to find rum.

"Wait...what about that little pub?" Natalie said, pointing to a buiding at the top of a hill.

"We never checked that one," Will said.

They headed up the hill to a building that looked ancient. It looked like it was originally painted orange, but over all the years, it gradually turned into a yellow shade. The door was as if it was only hanging by a screw. It was a wreck of a building. Jack ran into the building. The others walked in slowly. They looked around the inside. It was painted black, and the furniture was yellow. The chairs and tables were thrown around, as if there had been a fight. Odly, there were no other people in the room.

Jack was at the bar were the stools were. Will saw that he was talking to a man that looked like the owner of the pub. A few minutes later, Jack came back to the others and informed them that there was no rum in Tortuga.

"Mateys, this is becoming a mystery!"

"Aye," Will said.

They headed back down to the docks. As they were getting ready to board the Black Pearl, someone dressed in all black grabbed Elizabeth and put a dagger to her throat.

"Make one wrong move, and your bonnie lass gets it!" said the black-garbed person to Will.

"Yay! Someone's finally going to kill off Elizabeth!" Natalie cheered.

"Huh?"

"We don't like her. You can do whatever you want with her!"

The black-garbed person released Elizabeth and grabbed Natalie and put the dagger to her throat.

"Natalie!" Will cried.

"Let me take over your ship and I'll let her live!"

"But n one but me can give away the Pearl! And, I don't want to!" Jack said. "Anyways, I need it because I'm on a search for rum!"

"Did you say rum?" asked the person.

"Aye, matey!" Jack said.

The person released Natalie and took off their hood. It was a girl. She had reddish-blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Jessica?" Natalie asked.

The girl nodded. "And who are you?"

"It's me! Natalie!"

"Oh my gosh! It is you! I'm sooo sorry about the dagger! You know I wouldn't have slit your throat! I'm looking for rum, too."

"Right. It's okay, I'm used to threats from pirates! Hey! Why don't you come with us on our rum search!"

"Okay!"

Natalie introduced Jessica to the whole crew of the Black Pearl. Well, all most everyone.

"You did not tell me this hot guy's name," Jessica said, pointing towards Will.

"Oh, that's Will Turner."

"Nice to meet you! Are you single?" Jessica asked.

"Uh...no...I'm not."

"Jessica...back off...he's mine! Why don't you go talk with Jack or someone!" Natalie growled.

Jessica decided to go talk with Elizabeth. A few minutes later, she came back looking disgusted.

"That girl is such a brat! She's so stuck up! No wonder you wanted me to slit her throat!"

"Yeah, we all knew that!" Will said.

"She used to be Will's fiancé until he found out that she was cheating on him," Natalie whispered to Jessica so that Will would not overhear.

"No way!"

"Yes way. He's never forgiven her for it. He gave her so much, and that was how she repaid him. He stole a ship, fought pirates, and risked being hung just to save her sorry ass."

"What a bitch! I mean, how could you cheat on Will? He's so hot!"

"I know. But that's okay because I'm his fiancé now!" Natalie said showing Jessica a gold ring that had a golden skull and crossbones on it. There were diamonds for the eye sockets.

"I LOVE THAT RING!" Jessica said. She decided to go find Jack and bother him. She swaggered around the deck, as if she was drunk.

"She walks like Jack," Will observed.

"She's an alcoholic, like Jack," Natalie said.

"Good thing the rest of the crew's not like that!"

Jack wasn't paying Jessica any attention, as usual, he was studying his compass. No one was really paying her any attention. So, no one really noticed her walk down into the storage area of the ship. Nobody noticed this because they were all busy. Jack was busy studying his compass and navigating the ship, the crew was busy setting sails and cleaning the decks, Elizabeth was busy tightening her corset, and Natalie and Will were busy making out.

About two hours later, Jessica swaggered back onto the deck. She appeared to be highly drunk. She saw Natalie and Will and commented, "You know, that's why we have cabins below the deck." She continued on walking to Jack. "You're hot," she hiccuped.

"Is she drunk?" asked Elizabeth.

"Yes, but what did she drink?" Natalie said.

"Please say you didn't drink the wine," Will said.

"I like wine," Jessica hiccuped. She then attempted to kiss Jack.

"What the...?" he said.

"That's the scariest thing I have ever seen," Natalie said. Will agreed.

Elizabeth was angry now. She held up her fist. "Why you little...how dare you!" She lept at Jessica. Natalie drew out her sword just in time and managed to stop Elizabeth from attacking Jessica.

"Elizabeth, she's drunk off her ass! Go away!" Jack said. He was obviously enjoying this because Jessica was now on the ground worshipping him.

"I love Christmas with all the bright fireworks and the little short green Irish guys that pass out Valentines! On Christmas Eve, the Great Pumpkin comes and gives us colored eggs!" Jessica yelled.

"Huh?" everyone said.

"She is sooooooo drunk," Will said.

"She's as bad as me! I think I'm gonna like this sheila!" Jack said.

"Jack, will you marry me?" Jessica sat on his lap and held out a huge hat with a big feather on the top.

Jack's eyes widened when he saw the hat. "Yes, yes, yes! Of course! Give me that hat, poppet!"

Jessica swayed from side to side and barfed all over Jack's clothes. Horrified, Jack ran over to the plank and jumped into the ocean. Natalie and Will pulled him back up onto the ship.

"Natalie. Will. You two will guard the wine from now on!" He turned to Jessica, "No more alcohol for you, poppet!"

Natalie and Will made their way to the storage. The place was a mess. There were bottles of wine everywhere. Most of them were full and others were half-drunken.

"So, Jessica's your friend?"

"Yeah, I've known her since I was like five," Natalie said.

"Has she always been a drunk?"

"No. She never drank wine, rum, or whiskey much. She must have recently become an alcoholic."

"Oh, I see."

"Will..."

"Yes?"

"Do you think we'll ever find out what happened to the rum?"

"I think we will. Jack's keen on finding rum, and knowing him, I know we'll find it!"

Natalie looked around and found some wine glasses and filled them up to the rim. "Shh! Don't let Jack see that Jessica's not the only one that's drinking his wine! Hehe! Anyways, I think we should drink some of it before Jessica or Jack drinks it all. I know that Elizabeth hates wine, and the crew wouldn't really touch the wine because they didn't have Jack's permission!"

"Right-o, poppet!" Will said immitating Jack.

They both drank the wine. At first, they'd only had two glasses each, but then Will wanted to have a wine drinking contest to see who could drink the most wine. Natalie had eight glasses, while Will had eleven. They were both so drunk that it wasn't funny.

Natalie started to giggle when she noticed how Will was swaggering like Jack and Jessica, but Will was laughing at her because she was slurring all her words and he couldn't understand a single word she said.

"I'm going to braid your hair!" Natalie exclaimed randomly.

"Uh...I don't know what you said, but whatever!"

Natalie started to braid his hair. She was doing a horrible job because she was drunk. She must have braided a bunch of knots in because it took her a long time to take it out later on.

Jessica and Elizabeth walked into the room and both froze.

"What did you do to Will?" asked Elizabeth.

"I braided his hair! Isn't he prettyful?"

"Uh...I reckon that Natalie's drunk as I was earlier!" Jessica said.

"I'm not drunk!" Natalie hiccuped.

"Me neither!" Will said.

"Right." both of the girls said.

"We're going to have to report you to the captain," Elizabeth said.

"YOU ARE GOING DOWN, BITCH!" Natalie screamed. She grabbed Will and they both ran towards the girl. Jessica saw what they intended to do, and joined in.

"DIE! DIE! DIE!" Will yelled.

"You're going to walk the plank!" Natalie said.

"How could you cheat on Will?!" Jessica said.

"Jack is not hot!" Natalie said.

"She's with Jack? AHHHHHH! DIE!" Jessica screamed.

All three of the angry pirates grabbed Elizabeth by her feet and hands and took her up above the deck. They then tightened her corset so that she couldn't breathe and then tossed her overboard.

"What did I miss?" Jack said as he looked up from his compass.

"Nothing, nothing!" Natalie said.

"Yeah," Will and Jessica agreed.

"Where's Elizabeth?" Jack asked.

"Uh..."

"We...uh...she...uh..." said Will

"I THREW HER OVERBOARD!" Natalie yelled.

"Oh, okay!" Jack said.

"He's not mad?" Natalie asked Will.

"He's gotta be drunk. Either that or he likes Jessica more."

"I love Jessica!" Jack started to sing.

"AHHH! The horror! The horror! Jack's singing!" Natalie covered her ears.

"Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!" Jessica joined in.

"Stop singing!" Natalie and Will both said.

The crew started to join in the song. Natalie and Will both ran below the decks covering their ears in horror. They wondered if the whole trip was going to be like this. After all, who knew how long it was going to be until they found what had happened to the rum.
