CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: "You're under arrest, Chimney Butt."
"Jack, you're an idiot," I said.
"Yeah," Jessica whispered.
"You could've gotten your sword anytime today before or after Holly and JP left!" I whispered as we stepped out onto the back porch.
"Yeah..." Jessica said again.
"Shh..." Jack said, sliding the door shut. "We don't want to wake the others."
"C'mon, Jack! Why do we gotta get your sword at three in the morning?" I whined.
"Yeah..."
"I'm tired!"
"Yeah..."
"Normal humans sleep at this hour! Even pirates! Can't it wait until seven or eight?!"
"Yeah..."
Jack spun around and pulled out his gun as we approached the trampoline. His gun was pointed at us, and we stopped dead. He had a serious look on his face, and we were afraid he might slip and pull the trigger. Jessica scooted behind me, and I started to break a sweat.
"I brought ye' because ye're usually sidin' with me." Jack said. "Now, if there's any problems, we can solve them with this little friend we call a revolver. If there's no troubles, ye' can live. So, we good?" Jessica and I shook our heads slowly. Jack smiled and climbed onto the trampoline leaving Jessica and I petrified.
"He didn't mean it, did he?" Jessica asked me quietly.
"Let's hope not..." I said. We quietly climbed onto the trampoline confused about why Jack was taking this so seriously. Did it have to deal with the ruby? Well, no, this is sword hunting... sounds like a whack video game... find the sword and get a ruby to send three pirates home. Hmm, I wish it were that simple... I'm pretty good at video games...
After Jack had lifted us onto the roof, he caught sight of our panicked looks of when he threatened our lives. Hey, it didn't seem like he was kidding, so... well what would've you have done?
"Don't read too much into it," Jack said. "Just be quiet. I don't want to wake anyone, especially Elizabeth." We nodded as Jack proceeded into his 'plan of action.' We paid no attention. I mean, c'mon! A plan of attack to find a sword on a roof? Plus, we'd found something better to do ("Dude! A bug!" Jessica said. –puts bug on Jack's head- -laughs because he has no clue what's going on-).
"So, any questions? Ye' ready to go out?" Jack asked us after his great speech. Jessica and I sat up quickly and looked around.
"What?" I asked.
"I think we got it," Jessica said, staring at me. I nodded quickly with a big grin, and Jack smiled at us.
"Great! Now go get me sword! Shove off!" Jessica and I started to ascend the roof, and I put my hand out in front off Jessica to stop her.
"You hear anything he said?" I asked her.
"Not a word..." Jessica said. We giggled a bit and clicked on the flashlight looking along gutters for the sword. We had no luck (of course), so we tried the other side of the roof.
"Be careful," I told Jessica. "This is not the better side of the roof." She nodded, and we slowly went down the other side of the roof. You see, unlike the backyard side of the roof, this side is about two stories from the ground. With this knowledge and trying our best not to kill ourselves, we looked along the gutter. But of course, we can always count on Jessica to add to the situation, huh, Jessica (-Jessica nods-)? She slipped and fell, and I rushed down to her.
"Hang on to the gutter!" I told her. "But be careful! It's not all that sturdy..."
"Well that's a real confidence booster!" she yelled.
"Shh! Be quiet, big mouth," I said, pulling her up onto the roof. I saw the flashlight lying in the driveway as we climbed to the roof's peak to catch our breath. A lot of good that did... After we sat down, a heavy hand fell on our shoulders, and we jumped away screaming for our lives.
"Shh! Will you be quiet?!" we heard Jack say. "Shut up!" When we finally stopped screaming like morons, Jack held up his revolver again. We felt it an inch away from our faces, and I gulped.
"Hey, Jessica?"
"Yeah?"
"You ever think he likes that gun a bit too much?"
"Yeah... I think he considers us hostages or something. What's so important about finding the sword?"
"I know..." I said. "Uh, Jack?"
"Aye?" Jack said.
"Why are you up here?" I asked him.
"The lot's awake," Jack said, motioning down to the backyard.
"So? Why can't they see us?" Jessica asked. "They're weird just like us! This is normal for us! Nothing out of the ordinary!" Jack sighed and pointed the gun right at Jessica.
"One more objection, and you're..." Jack trailed off and smiled. "So? What was it you wanted to say?"
"I'm having the time of my life," Jessica said quietly. She smiled up at him, and he put the gun away (phew...). We got close to edge of the roof and watched Lindsay and Elizabeth talk (don't fall off this time, Jessica...). Will came up from the driveway carrying the flashlight Jessica had dropped when she almost fell off the roof.
"This is all I found, Lindsay," Will said, coming through the gate. "You may have something here... maybe there is a burglar." I raised my eyebrows. Burglars? Didn't they see us gone? They should... oh, never mind...
"Oh, boy..." Lindsay said, taking the flashlight from Will. "What if they're out here right now?" Silence fell over everyone on the lawn.
"Can we just tell them?" Jessica asked Jack.
"No, we need to find me sword," Jack said near whisper.
"Forget about the sword already!" Jessica yelled. "Who really cares?!" Jack and I stared at her as a flashlight shone on us. Jessica looked down at Lindsay, Will, and Elizabeth with a nervous smile. "Oops..."
"Burglar!" Lindsay screamed. Elizabeth screamed alongside Lindsay and they made a dash for the house. My swallowed hard as Will's silhouette made for the trampoline to get to the roof.
"Run," Jessica whispered. We stood up and made a break for the chimney at the other end of the roof. Slowly but surely, Jessica brewed up more trouble. She stepped on a weak spot along the peak, and her foot fell through. I went back for her, and Jack grabbed a piece of the gutter to fight Will (ok...).
"It's us! It's us!" Jessica screamed as Will and Jack fought. I tried to remove her foot, but it wouldn't budge ("Reminds you of the time Jack's foot was stuck in the toilet, huh?" Jessica asked. –glares at Jessica- "Just trying to lighten the moment..."). Will's sword flew over our heads again.
"You know what?! It's us! For the millionth time...geez..." Jessica said. I sighed as Will Jack fought this stupid thing. And with a piece of gutter? Real slick, Jack... We got sick of it, so we grabbed Jack's leg and pulled it out form under him. He fell to the roof and sighed.
"And ye' did that because..?" Jack said.
"We need help here!" Jessica yelled. Jack stood up, tugged on Jessica's ankle, and she was free. Full of energy as she normally is, Jessica jumped up and hugged Jack tightly.
"You saved! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!..." Jessica piped. Jack, his face turning blue (lol... smurf...haha...), tried to push Jessica away.
"Off! Get... off!" Jack choked. Jessica flew down to the roof at Will's feet, and Will knelt down beside her.
"Jessica? Jack? Is that you?" he asked.
"You're first clue was...?" I asked sarcastically. I went to help Jessica, but Captain Jack Stupid stuck again... He tripped into the hole Jessica's foot was stuck in and stumbled backwards into the chimney. He got stuck in our chimney. Well, the bottom half of him at least...
"Isn't this a great night?" Jack asked with a smile as we ran up to him. As soon as we stopped, we heard a car pull into the driveway.
"That would be the police..." I said. "Great timing, as usual..."
"Police?" Will asked.
"Cops, Law Enforcement, take your pick..." Jessica said. Will and Jack were still confused.
"Her majesty's loyal pirate executioners," I said with a smile. Their eyes widened.
"We need to get out of here," Will whispered.
"I'm up for suggestions!" Jack yelled. "I'm stuck in yer smokestack!" Of course, we're off thinking of a plan to get out of the situation, so we didn't even hear Jack...
"The woods!" Jessica said, pointing at the patch of woods behind the backyard fence. We started down the roof to the trampoline, but Jack interrupted.
"Ho! What about Captain Jack here?" We turned around, and Jessica skipped up to him (skipped?? weirdo...).
"You really stuck?" she asked Jack.
"Aye," Jack said.
"You're sure?"
"Positive, luv! Otherwise I wouldn't've said aye!" Jack yelled.
"Good!" Jessica said. "Then I can get it! Finally!" She leapt forward and reached for his hat.
"What the...? Aww no... drop it!" Jack said. He clapped his hands around Jessica's throat and began gagging her. Will and I tried to separate them, but that was screwed up by another flashlight (is the Broadway because it's really bright up here...).
"Come on down!" we heard a cop yell up to us. I looked down to see Lindsay and Elizabeth behind the very large cop (yes, that's the polite way of saying he was a horrendous fat hog... ok, that's harsh, but it's the truth!).
"We can't!" I yelled down to them. "Jack Stupid – "
"CAPTAIN," Jack said, correcting me. I sighed.
"Fine! CAPTAIN Jack Stupid got stuck, and –"
"Who ye' callin' stupid, missy?" asked Jack.
"You! You practically killed Jessica!" Will was leaning over Jessica who was choking and coughing on the roof. I knelt beside them as she tried to regain her breath.
"Erica? Is that you?" Lindsay yelled up.
"No! Just the Three Stooges and Jack!" I replied.
"Oh! Does that mean Will's up there, too?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yeah," I said. "He's trying to revive Jessica.
"Get down here!" the cop demanded.
"Look, buddy!" I yelled, standing up again. "My friend's butt is stuck in a chimney, and my other friend is coughing her head off because Chimney Butt here gagged her for touching his awesome hat!"
"Thank you," Jack said for my complimenting his hat.
"Oh, no problem," I said. I turned back to the policeman, Lindsay, and Elizabeth.
"Gagging, huh?" the cop asked with a small chuckle. "You're under arrest, Chimney Butt."
"What?!" Elizabeth, Lindsay, and I said in unison.
"Attempted murder," the cop said simply. "Not come down here." I couldn't believe this. So, I did the only thing I could think of after pausing a moment.
"Lindsay! We could use some help here!" I screamed.
"Domestic disturbance, yelling at this hour," the cop said, scribbling on a small notepad. "That's a $200 fine." Ok, my blood was boiling now...
"You know what..." I started to march down to the edge of the roof when Jack reached out and grabbed my arm. I gave him a perplexed look as he shook his head at my decision to tell the cop off. He put his finger to his lips, and then he pointed down at Lindsay and Elizabeth.
"Uh... Mr. Cop... policeman... sir..." Lindsay muttered. "Um... it's really quite funny, you know..."
"Let's hear your excuse," the cop said.
"Well... um... you see, those people are our friends and we didn't realize they were missing and –"
"Oh, I understand," the cop said.
"You do?" Lindsay asked.
"Well, wonderful!" Elizabeth said. I gave a sigh of relief. It worked.
"Yeah," the cop said. "This is a false alarm." Lindsay and Elizabeth began to talk quickly to the cop as my smile faded instantly. I looked over at Jessica and Will, and Jessica sat up.
"What'd I –"
THUD
Jessica fell to the roof again. She didn't have her full breath yet (obviously since she fainted), but I ran to them and knelt on the other side of Jessica. Will revived her again, and she sat up as Lindsay and Elizabeth tried their best to convince Tubby not to haul our butts off to jail.
"You didn't miss that much," Will said. I stared at him.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked him. "Jack's stuck in the chimney, the cops are here, and we're about to go to jail!" Will and I argued a bit more as Jessica stood up and approached Jack.
"You're mean," Jessica said, walking up to Jack. He smiled.
"I'm a pirate," he said. Well, that was just a tad obvious, don't you think? Considering he's in a blockbuster movie and all...
"You almost killed me!" Jessica said.
"You took me hat! If I lose my hat and me sword which we were up here looking for in the first place, I'm a rather horrible pirate, wouldn't ye' say?"
"Oh, he's your cutlass," Jessica said, pulling the sword up from her side (You know what's funny? You aren't gonna find out where or when she found it! Magic... let's leave it at that). Jack took the sword in his hands. He was having a moment like he did when he had gotten the Black Pearl back only this was much lamer. A whole lot lamer...
"Get down!" the cop yelled for the millionth time. We sighed and thought we ought to cooperate, so Will, Jessica, and I freed Jack from the chimney and climbed off of the roof. Once on the ground, the cop had us stand along the tall wooden fence in a line while he called for an extra car to take us to the station in Uniontown. The car arrived, and he led us to the driveway.
"C'mon," the cop said. "This stunt's earned the six of you twenty- four hours jail time."
"Brig, basically," Lindsay said at Jack's confused expression.
"How come you don't speak English?" Jack asked me.
"I do!" I said. "What did you think I was speaking? German? Swiss?"
"Non, no, no..." Jack said. "I meant Pirate English, stupid girl..." I looked out in front of me. Pirate English... what in the world...?

- Sorry again. I went to another sleepover Wednesday night, and I couldn't do much at all this week. Just watched the movie again last night on DVD... tell me something... you ppl w/ DVD players... on the 2nd disc, check out the deleted scene 'Let Them Eat Cake.' Well, Lindsay, Jessica, and I watched that scene a million times, and we could've sworn we saw French fries on the table... check it out! It's weird! We watched it twenty times to make sure, and it was so messed up. Were there French fries in the 17th century?? Help us out! lol... it's crazy! Well, thanks for reading anyway... please review for us! Thanks! -
