Hee hee, I had so much fun with the last chapter! Will is so much fun to mess around with.
Elizabeth is funny when she's mad at someone other than me :P
Anywho. .
Sorry I've taken so long in updating, but it's okay now. I'M UPDATING! WOOT!
I'm at Summer School now . . . bah, I'm taking Phys Ed. 10 now so that I can take French 20 IB next year in grade 10. . . I'm so sore, cuz our teacher is a slave driver, but anyways. .

Relapse of last chapter:
This was going to be one interesting night!
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
I leapt towards the door; the elvish dictionary was clutched tightly in one hand and Will's arm wound in a death grip in the other. 'Miss Jillian!' I heard Lizzy gasp, and I screeched to a stop, turning to look at her in blatant impatience as she said in a forcedly calm voice 'You have to show some respect and dignity when we arrive there, do you understand me? You cannot go . . . gallivanting off in all directions as soon as you step out! Please, act properly, if not better!'
In recognition, I scrunched my nose at her, and sighed as I let go of Will's arm, saying 'Fine . . . I'll act as best I can, if that's up to your standards, your highness.' That got me a really strange look from her, and she said in a clueless fashion 'I'm not royalty, Miss Jillian!' I looked at her for a moment, wondering why she had said that for no reason (or, at least, I thought it was for no reason), and then it clicked, and I said 'Ohh, no! I know you're not royalty! It just means that you're acting very princess-like, ordering me about, and all that. Very stuck up, in a way.'
Will gave a very odd noise from his mouth that sounded suspiciously like a cough, and Liz glared at him evilly until he looked away. 'C'mon, let's go! We don't want to be late, now do we?' I whined, tugging on Will's sleeve like an impatient child, and we finally got moving out the door. The night air smelled lovely, crisp and clean, of salty seas and blue moons. (That actually sounds quite poetic!) I thought as we walked over to the carriage, Liz hissing at me 'Don't stick your nose in the air! And don't sniff like that! You're supposed to be polite and act accordingly!'
With a pout, I lowered my nose and allowed William to help me up the steps and into the carriage, which was . . . almost morbid. It was a black box- like thing, with velvet scarlet cushions and scarlet drapes covering the windows. Liz and Will hopped in (Well, not literally, but . . . work with me here!) and sat on the seat opposite me, and I commented with my eyebrows raised 'Well, this is quite . . . cozy.'
I ignored Elizabeth as she began talking about the party and me meeting Jack tomorrow, and blah blah blah, and just pulled back the curtain to look out at the scenery as we trundled down the road to the fort. 'Hee hee, trundled is a funny word!' I whispered randomly, but nobody heard me, as Elizabeth was fixing the clasp on Will's cape (which was exactly like the one he wore at Jack's hanging! GAHH! NO ORIGINALITY!) because it was crooked or something, and tsking at him for leaving it crooked.
'Men.' I scoffed, and looked back out the window, now seeing houses and people inside the brightly lit houses. Thoughts passed through my head, one after another, and I was lost in a trance-like state until I felt a sharp rap on my shoulder, and I turned to see William staring at me, and he said 'Miss Jillian, we have arrived.' 'Oh! Okay then!' I exclaimed, and then stepped out to have some . . . man take my hand in his, helping me down from the carriage and to the cobbled ground.
Elizabeth and William exited after me, and I thanked the guard, who smiled and doffed his three cornered hat at me in a polite way, as if he only half- expected me to be that polite to him. Looking up at the fort, I felt my jaw drop in complete and utter awe. It looked so big in real life! 'Miss Jillian? I'd like to introduce you to a friend of ours.' I heard Elizabeth say, and I shut my mouth and turned slowly to see Norrington standing right beside William, smiling at me in a tight and disciplined fashion.
Instead of leaping on him, like I would've done on any other occasion, I curtsied politely and crooned 'Good evening, Commodore Norrington! What a pleasure it is to meet you.' I received a sharp look from Liz, and Norrington looked a bit astonished, asking 'Madame, how do you know me? I don't recall meeting you before.' ((Jillian, you idiot! You've gotten yourself into deep shit now!)) I thought, and hurriedly said 'Well, I heard Elizabeth and William talking about Commodore Norrington, and I assumed-- because you look so dashing in your uniform--that you could only be that same man.'
This seemed to tide things over, and I held out a hand to Norrington, adding 'And my name is Jillian . . . Jillian O'Brian, from Ireland.' I thought that he would just bow over my hand, like men usually do, but instead he kissed my knuckles gracefully. I felt the urge to throw up as he stood back up, but I held it down, listening as he asked 'Miss O'Brian, may I escort you inside?' I plastered a smile on my face, thinking ((Dolt! He doesn't even realize I don't have an Irish accent!)), and said 'Of course, Commodore! I'd be . . . honoured if you would.'
Looking over to Liz and Will, I saw Elizabeth smiling at me, and William looked liked he could die happy now, and so wished that he would after I died from lack of oxygen from inhaling so much of the powder that Norrington used to cover his liver spots. It's over exaggeration, really. Norrington held his arm crooked at the elbow, like a bird with a broken wing, and I slipped my arm through his as he led the way up to the fort. 'I'm astonished at the sheer expansiveness of this edifice, Commodore Norrington! It took my breath away as soon as I laid eyes upon it!'
Norrington beamed like a 100 watt bulb, and said in an uppity fashion 'Well, yes, it has lasted for many a year, and is large enough to hold all of the noblemen and their families in the main courtyard.' I nodded my head at him, and then turned my attention to the guards patrolling the battlements, scrunching up my nose and mumbling to myself 'I wonder how Jack got past them . . . .'
'What was that?' I heard Norrington ask, and I gasped and stammered 'Oh, umm, n-nothing, Commodore. Nothing at all!' We passed through the archways without another word, and I saw dozens of people all gussied up in fur lined coats, feathered hats, beautiful dresses and whatnot. ((Good Goddess, all of the females in this room are wearing corsets! How can they breathe?)) I thought, and felt Norrington relinquish my arm, saying very nicely 'Now, I must leave you with Mr. and Mrs. Turner. I have to monitor the change of guards. Until we meet again, Miss O'Brian.'
I held back yet another urge to vomit as he kissed my hand yet again, and then left as Liz and Will walked right past me. 'Hey, wait!' I called to them, and hurried up to walk beside Will, asking 'Is there going to be any dancing tonight?' Liz smiled, and then nodded her head, saying 'Yes, and good, Miss 'O'Brian'. You're learning manners.' I rolled my eyes, and sighed 'I had manners to begin with, Mrs. Turner, but I had yet to see reason to use them.'
Will gave a most ungentlemanly snort, and received an elbow in the ribs from Liz, who was flushed in the cheeks. Ignoring all reason to laugh at Will for his stupidity, or taunt Elizabeth any longer, I hopped right in front of them and hissed with a grin 'Can anyone play a reel?'
Elizabeth looked very shocked, as if I had just said a bad word, and answered 'I-I suppose so . . . why do you ask?'
Grinning with an almost malicious glee, and clasped my hands together, crooning 'Cuz I'm gonna dance!
Nothing had prepared me for the looks of horror on their faces.
And I laughed.
