"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!"
Megan Penney shrieked as she woke up from a nightmare. As she was doing so she had also managed to scare Jack awake out of his drunken slumber.
"Wha' in the blazes whazz tha'?!" He slurred grabbing his spare pistol.
"Um.that was me Jack. I had a nightmare, I always do when I drink. And for some reason they're always about spiders." She said quietly, blushing.
"Spiders eh? Dun Like 'em much?" He asked, still not totally conscious.
"Ugh. I Hate them with a pleasure. I am so scared of them. When I was little and lived in the tropics, I got bitten by a tarantula. Ever since then I've had terrible Arachnophobia. Sorry about that." She giggled.
"S'alright. Bout time I woke up anyway." He smiled. Megan smiled back at him.
Their eyes met for a minute, and Megan had to look away. What she didn't notice was that Jack didn't. When she met his chocolate eyes, he body tensed up, and her heart skipped a beat. She just passed it off as an effect of the rum.
"I guess Mom's not home. Cuz if she was She'd be in here the moment I screamed. Come on, Let's get something to eat." She beckoned to Jack to come with her.
Up until now, Jack Sparrow hadn't been out of Megan's bedroom. He was in awe of all the strange things he saw around him. They walked down the stairs and passed some pictures. Jack stopped in his tracks when he saw a picture of what appeared to be a younger Megan. Her black , wavy hair fell just below her shoulders and she was smiling, a broad ,cheerful smile, much like the one she had given him just a few seconds ago in her room. Something about her was biting at him. Could this be the woman Will had told her about? Nah, He was a pirate stuck somewhere in the future. And she was a 21st century girl, how could this possibly work? Jack was so caught up in his thoughts he hadn't realized that Megan had made her way to the kitchen talking him. Apparently she still thought he was right behind her.
"Jack?," She peered around the corner to see him staring at her picture from 2 years ago. He looked like he was thinking about something. She giggled, he looked kind of cute with his mouth half open and his eyes glazed in thought.
"Hello0o0o0o0o, Jack!" She said again, causing Jack to snap back into reality. He turned to her and grinned sheepishly, and strode out to the kitchen.
After about a half an hour of Jack ogling at the fridge, the stove, and the microwave (which he found terribly amusing opening and shutting the door), Megan finally managed to make some Kraft Dinner. They sat down at the table and Megan watched with great amusement as Jack stabbed some of the KD with a fork and sniffed it. She burst out laughing when he licked it slightly before putting it in his mouth completely.
The aftermath of the rum was clearly shown when Megan fell out of her chair, snorting and giggling like a mad fool. Jack peered under the table and quirked an eyebrow at her.
"Luv, are you alrigh'? Your food is getting cold." He said, which only caused her to giggle more.
Jack decided to let her be, and went on with eating this noodles-in-orange- goop-stuff. It was quite good actually. Aside from the occasional snort from under the table, things were pretty quiet. Megan finally managed to regain her composure, and sat back down.
"Welcome back, Luv. You may want to reheat that in the monkeywave over there" He said indicating the KD. Megan burst out laughing again, but managed to do as he mentioned.
They had a good conversation as Megan gobbled down her food. She was feeling a little woozy, but ignored it. Just as They were cleaning the dishes, Meredith arrived home. They hadn't heard her come through the driveway, but they heard her as she came in the door.
Frozen in shock, because her mother was going to flip when she saw Jack, Megan was unable to move. Apparently so was Jack.
Meredith came into the kitchen, lugging bags or groceries, and put them on the counter. She turned and smiled at Megan, who stood there like she had seen a ghost.
"Megan, be a dear and put these groceries away, please." She said. Megan didn't move, just stood there holding a half washed glass in her hand.
"Megan? Megan are you alright?"
Before Meredith managed to say anything more, Megan collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
Jack stood there in complete shock. Why couldn't Meredith see him? This was weird. Just as he was about to say something, Megan fainted. The glass shattered as it hit the ground, sending sharp pieces of it all over. Jack and Meredith rushed to Megan's side at the exact same time. Jack put his hand to her chest. Good she was still breathing. Before he had a chance to take his hand away, her mother did the exact same. Jack jumped as her hand went right through his on to Megan's breast.
Meredith picked Megan up with startling strength for a woman of that build and carried her up to her bed. Jack followed close behind, thinking really hard.
Meredith caught sight of the bottle of rum and sighed, "Oh Megan, what have you done to yourself?"
She placed Megan in her bed and covered her up. Poor Megan, Meredith thought, she had never been able to stay away from hangovers. Meredith knew that she drank, especially when she was upset about something, but she was too afraid to talk to her about it for Megan might get really mad at her. Jack swayed into the room and sat down on the desk chair, watching Meredith tuck Megan in.
Sweat beaded on Megan's forehead, and a looked of pain crossed her face. Meredith sighed and kissed her on the forehead and left. She came back with a glass of water and some pills for Megan to take when she woke up.
When he was sure she was gone, Jack went over to Megan's side. He stroked her face, and her pained expression eased a little bit. Jack's eyes were full of frustration and confusion. What had just happened? Why couldn't her mother see him? He was standing right beside Megan when she came in.
As he was thinking he crawled onto the bed, behind Megan. He lie down and put his arm around her waist. He lied there, watching Megan, seeing how beautiful she was. He had this weird feeling inside of him. Something was different about Megan, he knew in his heart she was the one, but this would never work out. He didn't fall asleep, just laid beside Megan, trying to comfort her. Or was he just comforting himself? He didn't know. He was on the verge of figuring out the mystery.
