(A/N – Ok, that last chapter has to be the funniest one yet. Jack, Jessica,
and Lindsay make for a good combo, huh? Well, They don't share a jail cell,
but it'll still be entertaining. It's not too good, but look for four more
updates after this one. Don't worry; you'll see more of Lindsay's Point of
Views. In this chapter, as a matter of fact! Cya below!)
The Best Reviewers in the World!!!...
Arsinoe Selene – It's my favorite now, too. Everyone loves this chapter that's heard it so far, and it was so easy to make that chapter because with the three of them, the sky was the limit! Alice in Wonderland sounds cool... how about Men in Black? It's not Disney, but it will work.... Yep, I'm using Men in Black! And the Little Mermaid! Possibly the Lion King... lol. Thanks for the review! =))
disneychic248c – We are currently doing beauty and the beast. We just got done w/ snow white and beauty and the beast, and when we're done with this, you'll see what it's all about! Thanks for reviewing! =))
LiTtLe TuRnEr – Thank you for that lovely review! lol... it's a nice reminder that we'll always be friends! And we'll be listing the quotes soon! But why is the rum gone?! Number one...lol. Thanks Lil T!

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: "Where's the Iowa hic?!"
Ok, back to seeing through my eyes for a bit ("But I wanna keep storytelling!" Lindsay shouts. "Besides, I've got prettier eyes!" You'll tell more later Lindsay... "Yes..."). We walked into the station as I wondered why the one cop had a black eye as Lindsay and Jessica sniggered at him.
After I found out that Jessica, Lindsay, and Jack tortured the poor cop, the poor cop's name was Noah, and that some friends of ours were on the way, we headed to the vending machines to get some food. Will pressed a few buttons, and, well...
"Now how does it work?" Will asked.
"Put in money, punch in the number, get food," Lindsay said.
"Sounds complicated," Jack said. He stared at the food a moment, and then kicked the glass out. We stared up at him, and Jessica stared laughing.
"How cool!" she said. "I want to try!" Jessica stood in front of the other vending machine, and kicked the glass out of it. Jack had already stuffed his shirt, hat, and belt with M&Ms, Snickers, and Reeses, and Jessica continued mimicking him. Will joined in on it too as the three cops came over.
"Back off!" Jack said. "I need more food!" He reached for a bag of peanuts, but we were pulled away and led down an empty hall of jail cells. Lardo led Jessica, Elizabeth, and I into a cell as Noah (lmao...) put Jack, Will, and Lindsay into the one right next to us.
"Can we talk about this?" Jack asked the black and blue Noah.
"No."
"Can you spare us that cheese now?" The policeman screwed up his face, and Jack just smiled as Lindsay pressed her face through the bars next to Jack, and Jessica scooted next to their cell and smiled like Lindsay was.
"There is no cheese," the cop named Noah said with a disgusting smile that reminded me of Norrington...eww... the policemen walked away, and Jack stood up.
"NO! You said we'd get cheese!" Jack yelled after them.
"Come back!" Jessica screamed. "I'm... somewhat innocent!" Jack looked sideways at her.
"Don't waist your breath, darling," he said. Jack slowly stood and scuffled over to the bottom bunk. He tilted his hat over his eyes to catch up on a bit of sleep, and I looked back at Elizabeth.
"We're only in here for a day," I told her as she frowned.
"Yes, one less day to find the ruby," Elizabeth sighed. "And tomorrow night it's gone forever." I looked over at Jessica, and we sat on either side of her on the bottom bunk in our cell.
"Don't talk like that," I said. "We'll have..." I tried to figure out how long we'd have to find the ruby after we were out of the prison.
"About twenty hours," Lindsay said from the other cell. "We'll find it and get you back."
"And that's a promise from me," Will said, standing next to Lindsay. Elizabeth walked up to the bars and hugged Will. I looked from Will and Elizabeth to Jack. I wanted them to go home, I really did... but how cool would it be to have them be trapped here? I sighed. I can't ruin their lives though... all because the three of us want them to stay.
-- 1 PM --
We almost survived a day in jail. I say almost because Robbie, Jared, and Nicole showed up. Robbie and Jared paintballed Nicole's house and she pulled a knife on them, not knowing who they were. So, they came in. Then we had to do major explaining (-banshee shriek-) about Jack, Will, and Elizabeth. That took a while...
So, after all that, we decided to try and sleep. All was successful, except that in each cell there were three people and only two beds. This meant Jared, Will, and I had to get comfy on the floor of our cells. We were asleep until Lindsay's bed collapsed on top of Jack.
Well, later after more sleep, this triggered a fight between Will and Jack as you could imagine. And that led to a bit of a problem concerning the plumbing... Will tore a pipe down and we had a flood going. That was a bad thing because some snakes started flying out of these holes in the walls. Well, of course we freaked... there were six of them! And they were Copperheads! Poisonous! Well, Robbie, Jared, and Nicole got on the top bunk together in their cell, so we tried the same in our cell. I felt bad for Lindsay, Jack, and Will though; their top bunk had collapsed. And so, this is where we pick up. Very exciting, huh?
Yeah, as I said, these snakes are now climbing up the bedposts to escape the two inches of water on the ground. I looked over at Robbie, Jared, and Nicole who were throwing some of the candy from the vending machine at them. It didn't help, of course.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled over to them. "They don't like that!"
"Well, it stalls them!" Jared yelled.
"Here! More M&M's!" Nicole yelled, throwing the bag at them. One snake fell into the water and darted out of the cell and up the dry hall towards the office of the station. I looked over at Jack, will, and Lindsay who weren't doing too well. Three of the snakes were in their cell, and Will was holding Lindsay up away from the water. Jack was trying to hit the copperheads with the pipe that had broken and caused this entire fiasco, and was successful once.
"Save me!" Lindsay screeched, tightening her grip around Will's neck even more than it had been..
"Breathe... help..." Will said, turning blue in the face. Will fell into the water unconscious, and Lindsay stared screaming again.
""Be quiet!" Elizabeth said. "Maybe they'll leave!"
"Maybe not!" Jessica said. Another scream came, but this one was from a guy up the hall. We all looked up the hall to see Noah flying down towards the cells. He saw the flood and the snakes, and his eyes looked very glassy.
"What did you do?!" he yelled at us.
"Nothing!" Lindsay said. "Get us out of here!" Noah was breathing faster as he looked at this weird scene. He backed up trying to find his keys to free us. I had expected him to let us die this way.... But he really does love us!
Well, he may have loved us, but that didn't help. He fell unconscious as well, and we panicked.
"Ye' bloody fool! Wake up!" Jack said, throwing the pipe at Noah. Oh yeah, that helped. Now he had a goose egg on his head.
"Jack! Worry about Will!" Elizabeth said.
"Will's a big boy! He can take care of himself!" Jack said, wrestling a snake in his hands. It tried to strike once or twice, but it missed.
"What's going on?!" Lardo said, running up to us. "What did you do to Noah?! What did you do period?!"
"Nothing!" Jared said. "One of your cheap beds collapsed, those two got in a fight, a pipe broke, flood... snakes..." Jared looked around and finally realized the situation.
"Don't you pass out, too!" Jessica said. Lardo picked up the keys next to Noah and ran up to Jack, Will, and Lindsay's cell.
"What are you in for?" he asked them quickly. Lindsay smiled.
"For annoying that hot cop," Lindsay said. "All nine of us." Lardo hesitated to free us. I crossed my fingers.
"Oh, get lost! All of you!" Lardo said, opening their cell. Jack carried Will out, and Lindsay smiled. They ran up to the dry part of the hall and waited for us to be freed. When we were finally out, we ran from the building shouting whoops of cheer.
"We did it! Now we can find the ruby!" Jessica said. We celebrated more, but I frowned, tapping Jessica n the shoulder.
"How do we get back?" I asked her. "Walking's gonna take all day." Well, that put a damper on the party.
-- Lindsay's PoV --
Yes! More of the star! Well, anyhoo, I looked around. We couldn't walk. Besides, Will was unconscious. That hunk of hotness was a heavy load to carry twenty miles (-receives multiple glares from Elizabeth- Sorry, Lizzie...). My brain had another spark fly when I saw the police car. Hmm...
-- 5 minutes later --
"How did you talk me into this?!" Erica screamed as we turned a curb onto the main highway.
"You're gullible!" I said. She looked at me, and I smiled. Yeah, in the end she hit me... "Look out!" I screamed, pointing ahead. Erica spun the wheel, and we missed this cool Hummer. With all of us crammed into the car, it was not funny. Ok, so it was...
Erica's driving, Nicole's up front with me and Erica, Will's still unconscious on the back floor, Elizabeth, Jack, Jessica, and Jared are crammed into the back seat, and Robbie? He's in the trunk... haha... He wanted to drive, but we didn't trust him. I wanted to drive, but I was overruled. I hate Erica so bad (-WHAP- It's a freaking joke, Erica!).
"How much more of this?!" Jack yelled. "I'm gonna die!"
"About seventeen miles!" Nicole said.
"No!" Jack yelled. "I'll jump out!"
"Oh no you won't!" I said, turning around to see him. I locked the doors, and Jack glared at me. He punched out the window and smiled.
"Try to stop me," he said. I glared at him.
"Lindsay! Get your whale of a butt out of the window!" Erica said. "No one wants to see that! Especially Nicole!" I spun around.
"But Jack's gonna jump out of the window!" I argued.
"Sit down!" Nicole said. I was pulled into the seat, but I turned around again anyways.
"Well, If you're gonna do that, keep them busy!" Erica yelled. I nodded, and turned back to them. I thought... something to occupy them? I need help... "Ears!" I said to Jared causing him to jump. "Ideas!" He stared at me a moment.
"Err... Buzz Zap?" he asked.
"Great!" I said. This should work... maybe. I hope pirates are good at math... "Uh... multiples of five are Buzz, multiples of seven are Zap! Right?" I asked. Jared nodded. I smiled. "Ok, I'll start! One!"
"Two," Jared said.
"Three," Jessica said. We looked at Jack who was still trying to get over Elizabeth and out the window.
"Say four!" I shouted.
"Four!" Nicole said.
"Not you!" I said.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Nicole said. "Golf ball!" I turned around. Golf ball? I looked out the window. We were passing a golf course, and a golf ball hit the window. Erica started to swerve like mad, and we all screamed.
"I knew I was gonna die!" Jack yelled.
"Oh, shut up!" Nicole yelled. Erica got control of the wheel again, and we all sighed. I turned around again slowly to see our friends. Elizabeth was clutching Jack's arm tightly, and Jessica and Jared were yelling for an encore. I was dizzy.
"Someone wake Will up..." I said.
"Someone help us!" Erica said. "I'm gonna kill you Lindsay! Even if you do die before we get home!" I stared at her. That made absolutely no sense whatsoever. We probably would die before we got home...
"Will, get up," Elizabeth said, shaking him gently. Jack sighed and kicked Will hard in the stomach.
"Up, Booty Boy!" Jack said. I started to laugh with Jessica and Nicole. Elizabeth hit Jack.
"Why did you do that?!" Jack said, rubbing his face. "I didn't deserve that!"
"Don't hit Will!" Elizabeth said.
"Booty Boy?" I coughed from laughing so hard.
"Bootstrap Bill's kid, 'inin't he?" Jack said. "I thought you knew that!"
"Oh..." I said, still laughing. To our surprise, Will sat up.
"Where are we?" he asked (his hair was a mess...frizz city, baby! lol).
"The modernized carriage of death!" Jack said. "Stay low and pray!" Jack pushed Will back down to the floor, and we heard a loud thump. Then we heard it again.
"What was that?" Elizabeth asked. It sounded a few more times.
"It's just Robbie," Erica said. "He's trying to free himself."
"Why did ye' throw him in there?" Jack asked. "He's one of me mates!"
"Exactly!" Erica said. "If he was up here, we'd be dead already!"
"Uh, Erica?" Nicole said.
"And you would be plotting against us!" Erica continued.
"Erica?" Jared said.
"Which isn't funny!" Erica said.
"Erica! You missed the exit!" I said.
"Thanks, Jack!" Erica said.
"Me?!" he asked.
"Yes you!"
"Shut up!" Jessica said. All of the sudden, we were in the grass.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled to Erica.
"Getting to the exit!" she said. We flew back onto the road, and she smiled. We were a bit sick after that.
"Moron!" Jessica said. "You could've killed us!"
"It's a risk worth taking," Erica said simply. "I found it very fun! Adrenaline rush!" We all sort of stared at the whack loser who was driving (-WHAP- I'm gonna end up killing you, Erica! Watch the road!). But Nicole broke the silence.
"I'm with her! That was fun!" she said. "Do it again!"
"Again?!" I said.
"Yeah! That was pretty cool..." Jessica said.
"What's wrong with you?!" I said. We had just about died...and they wanna do it again.
"Don't deprive the lass of her good sense of adventure," Jack said.
"Sense of adventure?!" I said. "Erica's idea of adventure is fighting ninja bunnies on a computer game (thanks Fairly Oddparents!)!" I suddenly flew into the window (ouch...). We swerved to miss another car, and we were now alongside a big 18-wheeler.
"Whoa... we need one of those," Jared said, looking at the truck.
"Back to Buzz Zap!" I said.
"How about the License Plate Game?" Jessica said.
"The License Plate Game?" I asked.
"Good luck," Erica said. "No one comes to Pennsylvania from other states. It's not like we have Disney World here or anything."
"We have Kennywood," Nicole said. Yeah, there's that...
"North Carolina!" Jessica screamed. I spun around as the 18-wheeler passed us. The license plate was from North Carolina... I looked at Jessica who smiled back.
"Big trucks don't count! They deliver stuff!" I said.
"Iowa!" Jared said.
"Where's the Iowa hic?!" Nicole said, leaping forward.
"I'm lost..." Will said, looking at Elizabeth and Jack. Elizabeth patted him on the head, and Jack rummaged through his coat.
"Rum cures all!" he said, holding up a small flask.
"Drink up me hearties, yo ho!" Erica, Jessica, Nicole, and I said.
"Amen," Jack said. He started to drink when more sounds came from the trunk.
"Robbie! Shut up!" Erica screamed. We quieted to hear a muffled voice from the trunk.
"Get me out!" Robbie said. "I'm gonna kill you!"
"You'll thank me!" Erica said, swerving again.
"For what?!" Robbie yelled. "Killing me?!"
"Live a little, butthead!" Erica said. I looked down at Erica. I think the freedom of driving was going to her head. I couldn't take thirteen more miles o this.
"Give me the wheel..." I said.
"Back it up, Lindsay!" Erica said. "One wrong move and we hit the guardrail."
"Our first wrong move was letting you drive! Jack should've done it!" Everyone looked at me now. I realized what I had said. I guess if Jack was driving, we'd still be in the parking lot... dead.
"Jack, I think Lindsay needs some of that rum..." Jessica said. Jack looked down and lowered the flask.
"Her? Rum?" Jack asked. "It wouldn't alter one thing about her! At most, she'd fall asleep." I sneered at Jack.
"Whatever," I said. I held my head as I sat back down. "I could really use some pixie stix right now..." I said.
"Sugar?" Nicole said. "Have some peach rings!" I grabbed a few from her and shoved them into my mouth. I stared forward a second.
"It's not working," I said.
"Missouri!" Erica said. I sighed. Weren't we done with that yet?
"Sign!" Jack yelled. Wait a sec... Sign wasn't a state... and if it was, how did Jack know? I looked up. Oh. That sign.
"Left! Turn Left!" Nicole said, grabbing the wheel. We swerved once again, and I saw that Nicole's foot was now on the gas pedal. The speedometer read 70. "Now, let's see what this thing can really do!" Nicole said.

- Ok, first off, REALLY sorry it took so long to post. I was at camp for the past week, so that's my alibi. Lindsay and Jessica are hitting camp this week coming, and this is gonna be hard to do. But don't fret! Like I said, 4 more posts: Ch. 24 & 25, Epilogue, and Author's Page. I hope you'll stick around! It shouldn't be that much longer. Thanks again for reading! Please review! Cya in the next update! -

"Err... Buzz Zap?" he asked.
"Great!" I said. This should work... maybe. I hope pirates are good at math... "Uh... multiples of five are Buzz, multiples of seven are Zap! Right?" I asked. Jared nodded. I smiled. "Ok, I'll start! One!"
"Two," Jared said.
"Three," Jessica said. We looked at Jack who was still trying to get over Elizabeth and out the window.
"Say four!" I shouted.
"Four!" Nicole said.
"Not you!" I said.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Nicole said. "Golf ball!" I turned around. Golf ball? I looked out the window. We were passing a golf course, and a golf ball hit the window. Erica started to swerve like mad, and we all screamed.

"Up, Booty Boy!" Jack said. I started to laugh with Jessica and Nicole. Elizabeth hit Jack.
"Why did you do that?!" Jack said, rubbing his face. "I didn't deserve that!"
"Don't hit Will!" Elizabeth said.
"Booty Boy?" I coughed from laughing so hard.
"Bootstrap Bill's kid, 'inin't he?" Jack said. "I thought you knew that!"
"Oh..." I said, still laughing. To our surprise, Will sat up.

"Erica! You missed the exit!" I said.
"Thanks, Jack!" Erica said.
"Me?!" he asked.
"Yes you!"
"Shut up!" Jessica said. All of the sudden, we were in the grass.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled to Erica.
"Getting to the exit!" she said. We flew back onto the road, and she smiled. We were a bit sick after that.
"Moron!" Jessica said. "You could've killed us!"
"It's a risk worth taking," Erica said simply. "I found it very fun! Adrenaline rush!" We all sort of stared at the whack loser who was driving (-WHAP- I'm gonna end up killing you, Erica! Watch the road!). But Nicole broke the silence.
"I'm with her! That was fun!" she said. "Do it again!"
"Again?!" I said.
"Yeah! That was pretty cool..." Jessica said.
"What's wrong with you?!" I said. We had just about died...and they wanna do it again.
"Don't deprive the lass of her good sense of adventure," Jack said.
"Sense of adventure?!" I said. "Erica's idea of adventure is fighting ninja bunnies on a computer game (thanks Fairly Oddparents!)!" I suddenly flew into the window (ouch...). We swerved to miss another car, and we were now alongside a big 18-wheeler.
"Whoa... we need one of those," Jared said, looking at the truck.
"Back to Buzz Zap!" I said.
"How about the License Plate Game?" Jessica said.
"The License Plate Game?" I asked.
"Good luck," Erica said. "No one comes to Pennsylvania from other states. It's not like we have Disney World here or anything."
"We have Kennywood," Nicole said. Yeah, there's that...
"North Carolina!" Jessica screamed. I spun around as the 18-wheeler passed us. The license plate was from North Carolina... I looked at Jessica who smiled back.
"Big trucks don't count! They deliver stuff!" I said.
"Iowa!" Jared said.
"Where's the Iowa hic?!" Nicole said, leaping forward.
"I'm lost..." Will said, looking at Elizabeth and Jack. Elizabeth patted him on the head, and Jack rummaged through his coat.
"Rum cures all!" he said, holding up a small flask.
"Drink up me hearties, yo ho!" Erica, Jessica, Nicole, and I said.
"Amen," Jack said. He started to drink when more sounds came from the trunk.
"Robbie! Shut up!" Erica screamed. We quieted to hear a muffled voice from the trunk.
"Get me out!" Robbie said. "I'm gonna kill you!"
"You'll thank me!" Erica said, swerving again.
"For what?!" Robbie yelled. "Killing me?!"
"Live a little, butthead!" Erica said. I looked down at Erica. I think the freedom of driving was going to her head. I couldn't take thirteen more miles o this.
"Give me the wheel..." I said.
"Back it up, Lindsay!" Erica said. "One wrong move and we hit the guardrail."
"Our first wrong move was letting you drive! Jack should've done it!" Everyone looked at me now. I realized what I had said. I guess if Jack was driving, we'd still be in the parking lot... dead.
"Jack, I think Lindsay needs some of that rum..." Jessica said. Jack looked down and lowered the flask.
"Her? Rum?" Jack asked. "It wouldn't alter one thing about her! At most, she'd fall asleep." I sneered at Jack.
"Whatever," I said. I held my head as I sat back down. "I could really use some pixie stix right now..." I said.
"Sugar?" Nicole said. "Have some peach rings!" I grabbed a few from her and shoved them into my mouth. I stared forward a second.
"It's not working," I said.
"Missouri!" Erica said. I sighed. Weren't we done with that yet?
"Sign!" Jack yelled. Wait a sec... Sign wasn't a state... and if it was, how did Jack know? I looked up. Oh. That sign.
"Left! Turn Left!" Nicole said, grabbing the wheel. We swerved once again, and I saw that Nicole's foot was now on the gas pedal. The speedometer read 70. "Now, let's see what this thing can really do!" Nicole said.
