(A/N – Hey guys! Seems like we're back on track... writer's block, ugh... it's
not a pretty thing... Sorry if this chapter's up late, but we went away for
the weekend and couldn't get to a computer... well, I'll stop jabberin' so
you can enjoy the chapter. Cya at the bottom!)

CHAPTER TWELVE: "The French Toast Pork Chop?"
We looked in terror at the door. Immediately, we ran over to the door and started screaming for Robbie and Jessica, banging and kicking the door furiously. The door was made of steel as Lindsay had observed, and we gave up. Lindsay and I sat against some boxes.
"We're gonna be frozen solid by the time someone finds us!" Lindsay said. Will and Elizabeth looked somewhat afraid, but Jack smiled.
"Another challenge!" he said, jumping to his feet. "We must survive the...the...what is this thing?"
"A freezer," I told him.
"Yes! We must survive the freezer!" Jack said again. "So, anyone of you up for a game of Rummy? It's such a good game..."
"You wanna play cards when our lives are in jeopardy?" Will asked.
"Well, sure!" Jack answered. "Might as well die the fun way!" We all exchanged unsure looks. Well, at least he had the right idea – make the best of a bad situation.
-- 4:30 AM --
"I win again!" Elizabeth said triumphantly. Jack gave a disappointed smile, threw his cards down, and folded his arms.
"How is it I always lose to girls now?" Jack asked.
"Guess you're losing your touch," I said with a smile.
"Hmm...must be," Jack said with a shrug. "Oh well! I'm still the best pirate of the lot! Who's up for another round?" Lindsay suddenly got all excited. She started tugging my shirt and jumping in her seat.
"Hey, Erica! Let's show them the Fence Post Doo Whop!" Lindsay said.
"The French Toast Pork Chop?" Jack asked. Lindsay and I burst into hysterics as everyone else stared at us like we were immature or something (lol)... We finally caught our breath and started teaching them the song.
"Okay, this is the first part," I said. Lindsay and I began to sing in unison as Jack, Will, and Elizabeth leaned in to listen.
"I was sittin' on my fence post chewin' my bubblegum – chewing noises – playin' with my yo-yo – doo whop! doo whop!" We stopped our yo-yo motions and encouraged them to try. Jack had his own version, though...
"I was singin' to my French toast shootin' off double guns –"
-- 1 hour later --
We finally taught Will and Elizabeth the whole song. We gave up on Jack who had his own version (I couldn't stop laughing when he sang it!). Will and Elizabeth found the real song funny, but I had to agree with Lindsay – Jack's was much funnier.
Afterwards, we played some Poker, and naturally, Lindsay kept winning. This wasn't to good for any of us who had to be in the freezer with her, though... she was so energetic, Jack, Will, and Elizabeth had me reassure them that she hadn't had sugar stashed somewhere on her.
"I win! I win! Ha! You're all losers!" she said, dancing around us.
"I'm scared," Elizabeth whispered to me. I didn't blame her... I was always scared of Lindsay when she was the only one hyper. I guess when we're both hyper, this is what people see... okay, I'm changing my ways! I'm not gonna be looked on as some idiotic dork!
"Another song!" Lindsay said, pulling me to my feet.
"Oh no, not another song," I said.
"YES!!! Nightmare Before Christmas!" she said.
"Lindsay Arvin, what has gotten into you?" I asked her.
"I had some Pepsi!" she said. I looked at the bottle... it wasn't Pepsi; it was wine. The wine Jack made me bring (*glares at Jack*)...
"Lindsay, sit down before you –"
"Never! I am Captain Jack Sparrow!"
"No ye'r not!" Jack said getting to his feet.
"Yes I am! Shut up, stupid welp!" Lindsay said. She slapped Jack across the face, and Will and Elizabeth stood out of the way of the falling Jack. My jaw dropped as Lindsay began singing.
"It's a cruel, cruel world all you little boys and girls..."
"Lindsay! Sit down and shut up!" I yelled as she continued singing.
"...but if you follow me (she jumped into the air and began yelling), you can all be FREE!!! FREE!!! Free as a bird! -"
*BANG*
A gunshot ran out. I had covered my eyes, and then peered through my fingers at the floor to see how much blood there was. But the floor had no trace of red anywhere. I looked up at Jack whose gun was pointed at the ceiling (yeah! No one died! yet...). Lindsay was unharmed, but we were all shaken up.
"What are you doing?!" I asked him. Jack put a proud smile on his face.
"Whatever I want, luv," he replied. Lindsay got up to her feet and stumbled over to Jack.
"Hey, that reminds me of a song!" Lindsay said.
"Lass, I will shoot ye' next time," Jack said. Lindsay, however, ignored the warning and began singing.
"I can do whatever I waaaant (she paused five seconds, enough time for me and Will to wrestle the gun from Jack)... 'cause I'm a dinosaur!"
"You're an idiot!" Jack yelled. "I will shoot you! I will shoot everything! I will shoot the squirrel!"
"SHUT UP ABOUT THE SQUIRREL!!!" I bellowed.
"NEVER!" Jack yelled back. "Give me my gun!"
"No!"
"Kiss me, Will!" Lindsay said, attacking Will. Will struggled to free himself of Lindsay's grip, and Lindsay kissed him.
*BAM*
"Don't you come near him!" Elizabeth yelled after hitting Lindsay on the back of the head with a frozen chunk of meat. Lindsay clambered to her feet once more (the alcohol was keeping her conscious probably).
"Why did you hit me?" Lindsay asked Elizabeth calmly. I could tell this was not what Elizabeth had expected.
"Well, you kissed Will," Elizabeth responded quietly.
"Oh," Lindsay said. "Well, I'll return the favor." Lindsay went to hit her, but Elizabeth instead took a kick in the shin. They were at it again as Will tried to separate Jack and me.
"Get off of me gun, and I'll kill you and that brat quickly!" Jack yelled.
"No! You aren't shootin' anyone!" I yelled.
"Watch me!" Jack said. He gave a harder tug, and the gun slipped from my hands. Jack spun around and shot.
-- 6 AM --
Fire... interesting subject to talk about after being locked in a freezer since 2:30 in the morning... well, interesting subject, period. Well, we didn't particularly care right now how interesting it was. It was too hot... I know, you're thinking 'in a freezer?' Well, yeah, it's hot in the freezer! The stupid boxes are like, a burning inferno!
When Jack took a shot at Lindsay, she had ducked to avoid Elizabeth's right hook (Elizabeth can hit, man!), and the bullet hit the boxes behind her and caught fire. We'd been backing away for about a half hour, Jack and Will throwing meat into the fire (boy, an odd time for a barbeque, huh?). I searched my bag for anything to help...Aha! A half full water bottle (lots of drinks in there, huh?)!
"Look out!" I yelled, jumping in front of them. I squirted a small stream of water onto the fire, and it helped; at least now Jack and Will could stomp on the boxes to put the fire out. Lindsay, somewhat sober, walked over to me and patted my back.
"Good job... ow..." Lindsay said, grabbing her head.
"Hangover?" I asked with a smile (Hey, it was funny! She though it was Pepsi!). Lindsay nodded with a pained expression on her face.
Jack and Will had the fire out now, and walked back over beside us. Well, they tried, anyways... Jack slipped on the new ice that had been the water I doused the fire with, and he fell into Lindsay. Lindsay went flying into the wall, and we gathered around her.
