I don't own any of these characters…but I DO wish I owned Orlando Bloom…or Will Turner…or Johnny Depp…or Captain Jack Sparrow… *-* Ha….me and Jack Sparrow…I can just imagine the looks I'd get from all my friends…and it'd be worth every second….
A/N: This is an alternate ending to the movie- I'm sure that if you read the preceding chapters, you'll know what's been going on and whatnot….Savvy?*-*
A/N #2: This is the chapter you wanted…and I'm giving it to you…Savvy?
A/N #3: School is STILL a fucking killer (sorry for the language…)… I really think that they make us go to torture us, just cuz they had to go….. *-* But yeah, anyways…. I hope you like this chapter…. And yeah…. This chapter is LONG!!!! Ya hear that? LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG!!!! And to quote dear Sean Biggerstaff… It's "Longer and harder…" *-* I love that… But yeah….
A/N #4: If you want the chapters to be posted more often than once a month, then REVIEW!!! It seriously helps me, and my moral, so that I can write! If everyone who reads this reviews, the chapters would be posted so much more often because I'd know how high of a demand I'm in…. (But to those WONDERFUL people who've already reviewed…. I LOVE YOU!!!) But yeah, even if it's only a sentence or two long (which I hope it'd be longer…honestly…) just take a minute to review…. it's not going to do you any harm not to, so why not do it? *-* Savvy?
A/N #5: Hey, this chapter is mostly about dear Jack…. Sorry if you're not a Jack fan (shame, shame if you aren't!!!) but it just had to be like that… *-* But hey, I happen to think this chapter is fucking good… so yeah…
Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie…I'm at the spot where…well…read the "previously" thing….
Previously on Defeat:
Jack winced and tried to keep going, but Barbossa had other plans. He kept the blade there, and reached out to grasp Jack by the jaw. It made Jack wince again as pain shot up his face like firecrackers. "Sorry Jack, didn' mean ter do that… Blockin' yer way like that… an' look at where it hit ye… Tha's not gonna be bad fer business is it?" he teased. Barbossa felt Jack tense up immensely at that remark, and he laughed heartily. "Don't go shotin' yer mouth off again jack, ye wouldn't want ter be punished again would ye?" he derided yet again. Jack was silent as Barbossa took the sword away and let Bo'sun push him through the doorway by hold of his neck.
Jack stumbled up onto the deck of the Pearl. The trip to where he stood had not been a pleasant one. Besides having Bo'sun keep a death grip on his neck, and having his body bruised and bleeding, he had had to endure incessant taunting from his old crewmen yet again. Had he been in a more fortunate situation, he would have fought back, but tonight was not the night to be offensive; it was better to be defensive and not endure any more than need be.
Bo'sun pushed Jack towards the stairs leading into the brig, and Jack took a last breath of the salty sea air. He had no idea when or if he'd ever let his lungs fill with the salty yet sweet, fresh air that floated above the ocean.
Being shoved roughly down the stairs caused an already stumbling Jack to lose much of his faltering balance and nearly fall. Bo'sun showed no sign of noticing Jack's wobbly state and continued to guide him towards his cell. There, he took out his keys and unlocked it, bringing Jack around into the doorway; then, he rammed Jack in, making Jack bang into the wall, but, being Jack, he wouldn't allow himself to fall to the floor. Instead, he looked condescendingly at Bo'sun, trying to show that he didn't care.
Finally after Bo'sun had gone on deck once more, Jack slid down to the floor and sat, staring at his grimy little pictures, feeling quite trodden on and beaten.
Will and Elizabeth had remained silent during the whole of Jack's absence. Not a sound was made from either of them as they sat, awaiting Jack's return, or what they hoped would be his return.
Eventually, after hours of stillness, they heard the thumping noise coming from the stairs and they both turned their heads to see who was coming down to see them. It turned out to be Jack and Bo'sun, but at first glance it was hard to tell. The usual confident swagger in Jack's gait was gone, replaced with staggering and stumbling, signs of a disappointed and beaten-for-the-moment Jack. He looked terrible.
Jack's familiar sun-kissed face was now peppered with bruises and little cuts. His eyes, rimmed in kohl, now had yet another ring about them, almost as dark as the kohl, making them swell slightly, a gift from Bo'sun's fists. A small trickle of blood leaked from his bottom lip, but had stopped and dried less than half way down his chin; another gift. And then there was the aura; that effervescent, ever-ready, and ever-glowing aura that Jack had, always floating around him, making him true to his name, his legend, his myth. The once flaming air about him was down to a small flickering flame, or so it appeared to be.
Elizabeth and Will watched, in utter disbelief as Jack sank down onto the damp floorboards of the brig. The two of them fought for words to say as he stared into space, absorbed in his own thoughts. Elizabeth won her battle first and asked softly, "Jack? Are you all right? Do y-… are you-… Is there anything I…we can do?" she spoke timidly, wholly unsure of herself, awkwardly muddling along through her words like Jack had stumbled down the steps.
Jack turned his battered face towards Elizabeth. He opened his mouth, about to speak, but then he went to moisten them. Dryness had taken over his lips and he rathered that they didn't crack anymore. As he ran his tongue over his bottom lip, his, his blood prickled the taste buds on his tongue, metallic and salty. Yet that one simple action brought him back again. He came to grips, yet again, that he was Captain Jack Sparrow, pirate, captain, legend, myth, and he had been through worse. This was no different. He just had to play his cards right and he would be able to come out on top.
All he had done tonight was take a page from Mr. Turner's book. It made being rash so much less appetizing than it already was, what he need to do was stick to his guns, figuratively speaking, and literally if he could find his pistol again…. Then he would have a chance. No more reading Will's book was a start.
To Elizabeth's surprise, Jack smiled at her. At first it had looked like he was about to say something, but he ended up going off into thought again, and she didn't want to bother him. But now, he was smiling the grin that made women from the Caribbean to the South China Sea swoon.
"Elizabeth, darling, or is it Miss Swann?" he chuckled slightly at his joke and continued, "I think it's incredibly gen'rous of you t'ask. As a matter o' fact, I'm fine. What's a couple of hits?" he paused, his smile fading a little and a slight frown appearing at his brow. "Tonight was jus' a bump in the road, a toss in the waves… nothing horrible, nothing great. O'er all, I'm fine. Yeah… nothing horrible…" Jack's smile came back again, as did his flame, brightening up his dark features once again. There was an air about the place that wasn't there a couple of moments ago, and it helped cheer up the place.
Elizabeth was relieved that he wasn't so depressed and horrid looking anymore… at least not in his heart…. His face and body was another matter. But after Jack had asked about her title so comically, she smiled for the first time that night. Once Jack's flame went out, she knew that it would most likely mean utter darkness for all of them, but now, it didn't seem as if it would come to that. But, as if to ensure that all gloom was gone, she asked if he wanted to let anything out or talk about it at all.
"Not sure it's for a lady's ears darling," he replied slyly, grinning again, though in truth, he had gone to a dark place in his mind on the Dauntless and he didn't fancy the thought of reliving that again. He felt it best to change the subject, but he didn't get the chance to.
"Jack?" Will had finally decided to speak and his voice wavered a bit, as he was a little unsure of himself.
Jack looked at Will and smiled again, "Aye?" He sounded so much like he had when he had been in the cell in Port Royale.
Will took a breath and frowned a little. "What… what exactly did Barbossa want you for?" Will had been thinking about that ever since Jack had left, and it concerned him immensely… if it was going to interfere with anything he had planned, then he would be entirely disappointed.
Elizabeth looked at Will like he was the most inconsiderate being on the planet. She had dropped that subject readily, what didn't Will understand about he fact that Jack didn't want to talk about it?
Jack just raised his eyebrows, making them disappear into the fold of his red, sun-faded bandana, but he was still smiling as genuinely as ever.
Will took one look at Elizabeth's face and immediately regretted saying anything. He ended up looking down at the floor and subtly biting the inside corner of his lip.
Jack's smile grew ever so slightly larger as he saw Elizabeth scold Will through her glare. "It's all right Elizabeth…" he said, amused at how much she already acted like Will's wife. Elizabeth immediately blushed when she realized just how badly she looked like a nag just then. Jack kept his gaze steadily on Will, who had brought his head back up, meeting Jack's eyes. "He just wanted a littl' chat. So we chatted and it ended… well… not particularly in my favor," Jack looked at Will in mock seriousness, "So take this as fair warning young Mr. Turner, don't be rash…. savvy?" Jack concluded by grinning goldenly again.
Will blinked a couple of times and smiled too. There was something nagging at the back of his mind, but he ignored it, and bent one of his knees up, getting more comfortable.
Elizabeth went back to talking to Jack and asking questions. She was dying to talk or say something all day, but she had nothing to say to either of her companions, so it made starting a conversation hard work. But now there was a topic, and Jack seemed ready to talk and be conversational. "So Jack," she started, "you're going to be all right? Your eyes, they're… they're…"
"Beauties, aren't they?" Jack finished for Elizabeth flippantly; making it less awkward on her and making her crack another smile.
"No… I'm serious; you really don't look all that entirely well. You're sure you'll be all right?"
Jack looked into her dark brown eyes gravely, "Do you remember the island Elizabeth?"
She looked confused for a moment, but her mouth opened a little in realization. Yes, she remembered, how could she forget? All the scars and bullet holes… he had showed her his scars, and it was her first time seeing Jack at his rawest. No flair, nothing, just a pure soul within a battered body and a larger-than-life legend. That had been the moment that won the bit of trust and respect that she held for him. Elizabeth nodded slightly, looking back into his slightly swollen, fathomless eyes rimmed in large black rings.
"Then I think you already knew the answer to that, Elizabeth."
She smiled slightly and nodded.
A/N: Hey everybody!!! How's it been since last week? Well, I wanted to update sometime this weekend, but I was so tired on Friday that I went to sleep at 11, but on Saturday, despite my fatigue, I opened a bottle of Mountain Dew (although I must confess… not my favorite pop….) and voila! Up until 3 A.M. How's that for a caffeine high?? *-* Well, that was the night that I wrote this chapter, so I'm sorry if it doesn't seem as ummm…. Up to snuff as usual…. I really can't tell at the moment…. I mean, I've just read it to check for mistakes and I once again am to tired to fully know…. Staying up til 3 and waking up at 8 threw me off of my sleep schedule, and now I won't be able to get it back til next Saturday… if I'm lucky… LOL! So yeah, I hope you guys (and dolls!!!! Ha! I love that play!) liked this chapter, review and tell me whatcha think, it'd help a million percent (Ha… I never was the best at math…. *-* ) So yeah. Review…. AND…. I'd like to have a HUGE SHOUT-OUT to ORLANDO BLOOM!!!! Today (January 13th) is his 27th birthday!!!! Yay!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORLANDO!!! HOPE IT'S WONDERFUL!!! (And yes, I DO realize that he will most likely NEVER *knocks on wood* read this, but in case by the off chance [ha!!!! Whatever!!!!] it happens, I want him to know I wish [or wished] him a happy 27th! Kay?) So yeah! Keep reading….. More Will next chapter… I think…. Haven't decided yet….
Cheers!
Tati Bloom aka Elf Girl 4
PS: I Love Orlando Bloom!!!!
PPS: Happy Birthday Orlando!!!! 27…. Woo hoo!!!!
PPPS: OK… THIS ONE'S IMPORTANT!!! : Do all of you know what happened on the island between Jack and Elizabeth? Because if not all of you do, I'll write a chapter for it and add more stuff and what not…. So tell me! Give me feedback and I'll try to do it! Savvy? Anyways, I might just end up writing that chapter anyways…. Not sure though, but a response is always nice…. Keep that in mind!!! *-* LOL… So review and tell me if I should write it!
Now…… On to my MANY, MANY LOVELY AND GIGANTIC THANKS TO:
*The Serious Padfoot: Hey!!! Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you liked the chapter!!! And OH MY GOSH!!! ROTK IS THE BEST MOVIE!!!! I loved it!!! And yes, Orli ruled!!!! (Although when doesn't he??? LOL!!!) Well, yes, the part where he killed the mumakil was sad, but lets also remember that we get to see lovely Leggy running around with screen-time all to himself! Nah…. That seems mean, doesn't it…. I actually did feel bad for it…. I mean, it's not like it knew what it was doing, or could have know, for that matter… and then it had to go and die….. Well, no matter, all sad feelings were gone when Leggy slid down the trunk and landed on the ground…. By far, a very, very cute moment in my book…. "That still only counts as one!!!" (ha…. I love that line….) So yeah, I went to your website, but they only had like the Junior week (or something like that….) photos and then it went straight into like Thanksgiving and Christmas! Oh well….. I'll try to look again…. Are you sure it's on that page? Well, gotta go… I've got like 20 more replies!!!! Eeeek! *-*
*LordLanceahlot: Yes indeed, poor, poor Jack, I felt SO incredibly bad for him! And yes, the poor lovers…. Hmf…. Well, you have to keep reading and keep reviewing to find out what happens next, so keep going!!! And yes, (I feel horrid for saying this….) but yes, this will absolutely be a Will and Elizabeth story…. But maybe not in the sense that you normally have. I figure, after all that crap they've gone through she can't just go liking someone else, but at the same time, she's got major conflicts goin' on, so she may not make up with Will outwardly either…. She might just like him from the inside…. But then again, that might change, it might not…. As my friend told me once, I'm the queen of cliff-hangers and twists (in my hair and my stories… *-*) so we'll see…*-* Savvy?
*mIzXxXmALfoY: Woah… hard name to type there…. *-* So lemme guess, a Draco Malfoy fan? Or are you one of those Lucius fans? Well, just so you know, I'm a Draco fan all the way (he's my FAVORITE HP character, even though my friends all give me crap for liking the "asshole." *-* I think he could be sweet…. At least to me…) So yeah!! I'm so happy that you like this story!!!! I've gotten such an incredible response to this and I really love writing it!!! And yes, I realized that mistake after I posted it…. God, I can never keep those 2 ships straight…. Well, I'm not sure if I've fixed it or not yet, if I haven't, I will, but yeah…. Thanks for reviewing!!! I'll try and update asap!!!! Or at least when I can!!!!
*Leap of fate: Yes, dark and creepy to be sure…. I'm glad you think that!!! I hate it when stories are just "there", and they have like no history or feeling or substance whatsoever!!! So I'm glad that you (and everyone else) are interested! I'm glad it was spiffy and the fact that you liked the length…. Sorry this one's short, but I wanted to post it today, on Orlando's birthday…. Showing my pride!!! (I wore my Will Turner shirt and all my Lord of the Rings buttons… + a button that I made…. To school today…. *-* LOL!!!) Oh…. And that ever popular question…. "How did you come up with Barbossa's name?"….. Well, I took a page out of Johnny Depp's book for that. If you watch the Pirates DVD commentary with Johnny and Gore, Johnny'll say something like "Hector Barbossa" during it…. Except my aunt is borrowing my DVD (I'm kinda worried for it…. *-* *bites nails*) so I can't tell you exactly where it is… But yeah, for all I know, he could be saying something else, but that's what it sounded like to me, and it just stuck…. You know what I mean? It's just like I can't have Barbossa with any other name, since Hector seems so *him* to me now! *-* So yeah, that's the story of how I got Barbossa's name….. *-* Hope you like it, and the chapter, and I hope you have a VERY happy new year as well! *sings Auld Lang Sime (is that how you spell it? I don't know…) *
*Anaticulapraecantrix: Nice…. Little duck witch…… Very original, I like that…. Well, ROTK was (in my opinion) AMAZING!!! I loved every minute of it, yet I was crying like throughout the entire movie the 1st time I saw it, cuz I was like "It's OVER!!!!" But now, I only cry ¾ of the time…. LOL!!! But yeah, I'll try and write another chappy this weekend! I hope you liked this one, hope it's not to short!!!! And long live Aragorn!!!
*Lollipop5: Ohhhhhhhhh…. Don't feel like a monster!!! You aren't!!!! The fact that you reviewed and then came back proves the exact opposite! *-* LOL!!!! Well, I totally agree with you on your view on just how gosh-darn (trying not to swear….*-*) dim-witted teachers can be when they don't realize that Lord of the Rings, Pirates, and any other Johnny and Orlando movies are our REAL lives…. Oh yes, and any fan fics too….. like mine….. J/K!!! *-* But yeah, I'm watching Pirates tonight, in honour of Orlando's birthday! So, I'd better go, so I can go bake a cake…. (Yes, I AM baking a cake….) *-* Me? Obsessed? Oh yeah…. *-*
*Sparrows Girl: Yay!!! I'm pleased you like it so much!!!!! I'm totally happy that this story made you laugh, I'm really not that good at humor (or so I think….) so I'm glad that it's making people (like you!!!!!) laugh! Well, you can be sure that I will keep writing this story, I don't think anything could stop me from doing it…. *-* So keep reviewing and reading and stick around to the end…. (which by the way…. Is not coming soon…. So fasten your seatbelt….) *-*
*PoppyNokia: Well, first off, I'm totally ecstatic that you love it. I love it when other people love my stories…. Secondly, about the Will/Barbossa thing…. (I hate to divuldge future stuff…) There WILL be a Will/Barbossa themed chapter (but NOT slash…. It's just them in that chapter….) but not yet…. As our favorite captain says, "Wait until the opportune moment." Now is just not the time, but I can assure you that when the time comes, I will dedicate that chapter to you for your birthday!!! And rest assured, it's coming up soon, so stick around, and stick it out, our beloved William will have more "page-time" (haha… get it? Instead of screen-time….) soon. But until then, I hope you have an AWESOME 16th birthday! Sweet 16…. God, that's got to be awesome…. I've still got to wait for a while (too long, if you ask me!!!!!) But yeah, here, I'll say this, when I get to Will's chapter, I'll make it SUPER long… how's that? *-*
*ASHLEY: Wow, I'm glad you liked it so much!!!! Well, I'll try and update as soon as I can, school's kinda pressing right now, but I'll be sure to update when I can. I'm seriously REALLY happy liked it so much….. *-* Woah.
*Chaucer: I like your name…. Anything to do with the writer? Well, I'm glad that you've liked the story so far….. I think you'd like my other works too….. So go read them (which I think you've already reviewed for some…. Yay!!! Thanks!!!) But yeah, don't you just find it infinitely ANNOYING when parents just cut in and ruin everything…. I hate that…. Well, when you get the chance, read the rest, and review again!!!!
*Supa Nova: Hey!!!! So…. Yeah, well, at least you CAN review!!! I can't even review! I have to end up sending people email reviews cuz my computer always says I have an error on the page and I can't press buttons…. Stupid thing….. *-* grrrrr…. *-* Wow…. Sweet…. I'm glad you love this story so much….. And really happy that it rocks out loud…. That's amazing…. Well, I hope I won't have to suffer your wrath…. It's only been a week!!!! Come on!!! But yeah, I might not update for a while, it just depends on school and stuff….. And hey!!! A red bandana!!! Totally awesome!!! I want one…. But I can't find any like his anywhere…. Well, in honor of my favorite well…. Everything…. Orlando Bloom….. I'm wearing a Will Turner t-shirt, 3 Legolas buttons, and a button that I made in a button machine at school (that one's REALLY big, and REALLY nice…. *-*) And the type of shoes that he has…. Yeah, since it's his birthday today….. 27 years old…. Jeez…… Well, no matter, I'm still gonna go on liking him… I mean I like Johnny Depp and he's 40 (yet SO amazing…….. *sighs*). Well, I would have to beg to differ on who's better looking….but I think that Jack is almost as good looking as Will….. just slightly less good though….. Ok, well, hope you liked this chapter!!! And oh yeah…. There's no way in hell I'd give up Orlando, so you have no worries…. I just have a MAJOR infatuation with Mr. Depp. *-* And oh yeah…. It looks like you reviewed twice…. Oh well…. Or were you just trying to get your point across that Johnny's yours???? Hmmm…. I wonder…. LOL!!! *-*
*jZzRgRl 13: OMG… I'm so totally happy that you love this!!!! And I'm also so totally glad that you actually came back to review it!!! I love reviews, and I love you….. (in a platonic kind of way….) so yeah!!!! Keep up the reviews, and I'll keep writing! And yeah, snaps to you for reviewing so nicely!!!
*Erika Hanley: Hello again!!! I was wondering where you went!!!! Well, it's ok! It sux that your internet's been down for so long though!!! How'd that happen? And yeah, I'm flattered that you went and checked my stories right away (and even if you're just saying that…. I'm flattered that you thought to say that…. *-* LOL) Well, the flattering continues, because well, I must say that I'm really happy that they've had such an effect on you…. Blowing you away…. Wow…. I'm glad. And I'm absolutely thrilled that you think I'm that great of a writer…. It blows me away (sorry for word over-usage….) when you and everyone else say that… I really hope that I continue to write as well as you say I do…. Thanks. *-*
*Yersi Fanel: Hey!!! I love all four of them too!!! They're the BEST!!!! All in their own special ways though…. It all depends on what you're lookin' for…. But right on!!! They're all great! Thanks for reviewing! I hope you like my story, and keep reading and reviewing!!!! *-*
*Kenobisaqt: Ok, first off, I want to say sorry if I've spelled your name wrong… It's my word document that I pasted the reviews into (so that I can reply without having to be on the internet for 4 hours and taking up the phone line!!!) that has a red line underneath saying that it's not an actual word or something, so I can't read it…. But yeah, sorry if it's wrong!!! And secondly… woah…. Ok, I'm elated and flattered and everything! Your review was wonderful… I really, wow…. I'm so glad that this story has made such an impact on you… it's so wonderful that you feel this way about it! I love you too! (Also in a very platonic sort of way!!!) Well, I hope I continue to live up to your expectations…. And I'll try to update as soon as I can, but there aren't any guarantees that it'll be weekly… But…. In the words of the absolutely breathtaking Jack Sparrow, "Thanks very much." *-*
*Inu Lover: Thank you!!! I'm glad that you thought it was great!!!! Keep reading and reviewing, I'd love to hear more of your feedback!!!
*Irene: *sigh* I love your review… I'm pleased you like the Harry Potter fic… (As I've probably said before…) Well, yes, I thought that the story behind Jack's scars should be interesting, but the oil is only half of the story…. Which will probably….wait…will be put into a different chapter… So yeah, I hope that we find out in the 2nd movie… I mean, it'd be more fun to know…. Instead of me…. Trying to come up with something plausible…. *-* But yeah, the moment I saw them, I thought "oil." Seriously… But yeah, I'll save that for later… Thank you so much… I'm glad that Barbossa is believable. I'm actually kind of worried that he may be too evil though… I mean, I'm going to have another chapter (or part of one) focused on him, and it'll hopefully put some more conflict into his character because at the moment, he's pretty much just evil…. Which by all means, isn't the easiest thing to do either, but hey, deepening a character is so much fun!!! *-* And thank you!!! I will FOR SURE be putting a Barbossa story into the works after this one is done (or maybe before… but probably not…). I've gotten a big response to my take on Barbossa and I think it'd be cool to develop him into his own story! Well, school's not much better right now, but after this week, it should get a tidge better…maybe, I'll have to wait and see, but until the next time I update, Cheers! Oh! And Happy New Years to you! (A little belated, I know, but it IS still January, so it should count… at least in my world it does…LOL!!!) Thanks for reviewing! I love them all!!!! And yeah, Orlando says thanks…. *-* ;)
*Mistress of Mordor: Hey!!! Well, I think I might have to make this one short, but who knows…. It's cuz I have to post before 10 o'clock, an it's 9:32 right now, and my internet connection is slow… so YEAH…. Ok, I'm glad I wasn't harping on you…. I hate doing that to people (except when they deserve it…. And you definitely didn't deserve it…. Which is good, since I didn't do it to you! *-* ) Actually, I think your idea of expanding Barbossa's character into one of real conflict is really good! I mean, everyone has a dark side and a lighter side… so I will definitely be showing more of him in my next chapter. Yes… (I'm reading your review again…) facets are good…. Like a diamond… they make it sparkle…. But yes, lets hurry up, since I have to post soon…. I'm glad that you liked the chapter… in truth had it not been your birthday, I probably would have broken that thing up into about 6 chapters…. Actually I probably wouldn't have been able to write it all like that because I usually do a chapter in one go, and then I'll stop, unless I really have a pressing idea that I have to get out… So I'm really happy you liked it! Yes, Elizabeth, she'd gotten pretty depressed in that chapter, as had they all…. Thanks for the complement…. You understood my message perfectly. And yes, the little bouts of comic relief…. Well, to tell the truth, at first it was just going to be Mr. Rash Turner, but then it seemed like it wasn't enough and not everyone would get it…. So yeah, I decided if you're gonna do it, go all the way, and so I did…. Glad you liked it. And oh yeah…. The wink…. I could play it out in my mind perfectly (like a movie) but I really wasn't sure how to put it into words… I mean it's basically physical humor and whatnot…. But not exactly *humor* so to speak (if you catch my drift… I'm kind of digressing here….) Thanks for telling me about the "floor" situation…. I read that paragraph again and I realized that I had said floor like 7 times in 2 sentences…. I tried to refrain from doing that in this chapter, but I'm sure I did it somewhere, and I just didn't catch it…. And yes, the old Jack we know and love is back, the suave Jack Sparrow that can do anything…. Just took a bit to get there is all…. But yeah, I hope that this chapter was all right. I'm still a bit iffy about it… I mean, it was like from 1-3 A.M. that I was writing it, so I kinda may have gotten a bit off course or out of character… but gee, I hope not… well, review and tell me what you think! You're brilliant, I love your feedback, it's honest and it's good. Keep going. Oh yes, can't forget…. Hector Barbossa…. I was watching the DVD commentary with Johnny and Gore and it sounded like Johnny had said "Oh look… Hector Barbossa…" or something along those lines during the commentary. Once he said it, I just felt that the name suit Barbossa really well, even if that wasn't what Johnny meant to say. So, now, Barbossa will always be a "Hector" to me….. What do ya think of it? Like it, not like it? Tell me! And I'll talk about ROTK later…. I have to post NOW!!!!! Cheers!!!!
THANKS TO EVRYONE THAT REVIEWED!!! I'M TOTALLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO DO IT! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! AND KEEP REVIEWING!!!!
Birthday poem for Orlando:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I think you're cute,
And I love you!
Lame huh? Oh well….. *-*
