A/N: On with the show! (Moulin Rouge song 'On With The Show' kicks in and
there is Zidler et al singing their little hearts out)
Freak: Umm, you have the wrong movie. This is Pirates of the Caribbean.
Zidler: (To Christian) I told you we should have taken a right at Kill Bill! Don't make this be another Lord of the Rings moment (puts on girly voice) Oh; I'm sure we're here now! (Goes back to normal voice) Yeah, we're really there in the middle of a fuckin' epic battle! (Goes into girly voice) Oh, excuse me Mr. Orc With The Dirty Great Axe Who's About To Chop Off My Head, can you give me directions? And then, what those bastards did to Toulouse... Who is Gimli anyway?
Christan: That was an accident! Anyway, he can still walk.
Zidler: Yes, but his voice is a lot higher!
Freak: (Eyes water) Oo What?
Scared Readers: Oo
Christian: You navigate then! (flounces off in a huff)
Freak and Scared Readers: Oo
Zidler: Sorry. That Christan is such a bloody sensitive twit...(Every thing disappears)
Scared Readers: OO
Freak: Oo Umm, that was... odd. O.K, ignore that. Let's carry on, shall we?
Disclaimer: I own it all, don't I Jerry? (Cut to live feed in very deep mine)
Jerry: (Bound gagged and guarded by some mean looking Urak-Hai) Mmmf-mmf!
Freak: See? All legal. (Grins broadly)
Jerry: Mmf! Mmmmmmmmf!
Freak: Shut up Jerry. Or else...
Jerry: OO
Freak: Good boy. Now, be good and I might feed you tonight.
Jerry: OO
23rd July- Elizabeth's Diary
Apparently, an unknown ship has been robbing other pirate ships recently, so we're going after them to see whether it's Will. I hope it is. Tom is cooler with me now. I feel sorry for him, and wish that he didn't have to suffer like that. I hate making people unhappy.
Anyway, the Pearl is much the same as it ever was, though now I have to work as well. I can't just sit around; I take my share of the watches, my share of the tasks that keep the Pearl afloat. Jack thinks that Will would have taken damage and set in to the nearest haven. So that is where we are headed.

Today I made my way down to the dock to see how the ship is coming. It appears to be going well and the overseer was optimistic. Then I wandered the streets alone for a while. I miss Elizabeth at times like this. Jack seemed to have a knack with the men. Obviously I have to learn it.

25th July- Captain's Log
Gone on the tide. Wind fair to middling. Men are in fair spirits, though they seem secretive.
Will's Journal
The men are secretive. They have conversations that seem to stop when I come near. I do wish Elizabeth were here. She has a knack for extracting secrets.

26th July- Elizabeth's Diary
We have been making good progress. I have been trying to mend my friendship with Tom. However, when I come near, he makes some excuse. Anamaria thinks that he is angry and embarrassed that he let his feelings show like that, and given time, he will come round "Men's egos bruise easy. They have to heal." She told me sagely. "When I first met Jack proper, he would hardly talk to me. Maybe slapping him in front of everyone wasn't right." She looked thoughtful, then shrugged. "But that's not the point. The point is he should come round sooner or later."
1st August
This morning a ship was spotted flying a black sail with a white spot in the middle. Apparently it means that anyone it sees it will kill. So we got ready to do battle. I ended up on the side, ready to swing over as soon as the word was given. I gulped and doubled over the rope in my hand "Don't worry lass. The first jump is always the worst," Gibbs told me "Show us yer knickers!" "Cotton says to try and roll when you hit the deck," Gibbs translated. I nodded. The gulf between the two ships as they pulled alongside each other seemed enormous. I breathed in deeply and closed my eyes when the order was given. I swung out across the sea, and hit the deck fast. The noise was tremendous. Shouts, cannons roaring, guns clattering and swords clashing. I dimly heard someone yelling, and realised it was me. I could hear Jack off to the left, and Anamaria to the right somewhere, vaguely, but I was completely lost to it all. Then there seemed to be silence around me, and I stopped, and looked round. Jack was calling to me. The fighting had stopped. I went to him and saw in front of me something awful. I knelt, trying to take it in, and Jack gave the order to go back to the ship. Then he spat at someone, I didn't see who and said "Never judge a book by it's cover, and never ever underestimate me," Then I think I blacked out.
A/N: Sorry it's a bit short and happy birthday to the lovely captainme! Thankee to all my reviewers!
