Idril~If you would like me to I will change the word to frig, if you ever read this ~***~***~ Chapter 9~A Trip to Town
Jack sat on the bed twiddling his thumbs. He had never thought he would actually see the day when he was bored. He had come to the conclusion that anything he had wanted to do, he either didn't know how to use or was forbidden by Megan to do so.
He turned off the TV with the remote and went downstairs, humming a little tune along the way. Jack stopped in front of the large window in the living room. In the distance he could see the ocean. He missed the sea so very much. He missed its refreshing, cool breeze in his face, he missed the salty smell that comforted him, and he missed the gentle rocking that lulled even the crankiest child to sleep
Jack suddenly felt the urge to go outside. He knew he shouldn't; Megan warned him that things had changed since his time and he would most likely get in some sort of trouble. But, not surprisingly, his curiosity got the better of him. Grabbing his three-point hat and pulling on his boots, Jack set out.
Upon reaching the outdoors, Jack breathed in a breath of fresh air and closed his eyes. It felt so good to be out in the sun again. Its rays shone down on him, making all the beads and other objects strung in his hair glisten.
Judging by the position of the sun, it was around 12:30pm. Megan had told him that she would be home around two. She wouldn't have to know that he was sneaking out, she wouldn't even notice. As long as he got back before she did, everything would be fine. Besides, he was Captain Jack Sparrow, and he had a plan to impress the lass.
~***~***~
Megan walked out of the deli shop with a wide grin permanently stuck on her face. This day was perfect! She and her mother FINALLY understood eachother, she was going to meet Johnny Depp, and she had a rather handsome houseguest that only she could se. Feeling an urge to splurge, Megan hopped into the convertible and zoomed to the mall.
After buying a new sundress, a pair of sandals, and a new jean skirt, Megan decided to grab an ice cappuccino at the local coffee shop. As she strolled down the strip, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. There was a familiar looking figure in the formal wear store called Charmers. She looked again and saw a man with long hair looking at the tuxes.
Nah, it can't be Jack, he would never wear a tux in his life she decided, and continued down the mall.
~***~***~
Jack wandered through the mall, in awe of all the gadgets and gizmos. He stopped dead in his tracks in front of a formal wear place. Perfect he thought. This would go very smoothly with his plan. He went and eyed a simple, black tuxedo. Inwardly he shuddered. He hated the fact that he was actually going to WEAR one of there, but sighed because it was for a good cause.
In the end, Jack nicked the tux off of its rack, and went out the door. Immediately as he stepped back into the main part of the mall, lights and sirens started going off back inside. He didn't notice the detectors at the entrance and the security tag on the suit.
Jack almost panicked, but then relaxed for two reasons. Number one, he was Captain Jack Sparrow. He would NEVER get caught. And number two, he remembered that nobody could see him. Jack chuckled as the shop keepers scurried about the place, apologizing to the alarmed customers over and over about the inconvenience. The had thought it to be an electronic malfunction and assured everyone to stay calm and to please be patient.
Still smiling, Jack waltzed back outside throwing the tux over his shoulder, heading back to the house.
~***~***~
"Jack! I'm home!" Megan called as she stepped in the door. Her mother wasn't home yet; she still had to buy some groceries and wouldn't be back for another couple of hours.
After no answer from Jack, Megan figured he must either be amazed by the television or asleep. She didn't notice that his boots were gone, so she went upstairs and opened her bedroom door. Strange, Jack's not here, Megan thought as she took out her new clothes.
It was to quiet in the house; It kind of creeped her out. Amy was at a friends house for the weekend, Meredith wasn't there and for some reason Megan didn't hear any noise that would hint that Jack was somewhere in the house.
His boots! The thought raced through Megan's mind at lightning speed as she rushed downstairs to check to see if they were at the door where she had placed them earlier.
"Not good, not good, not good at ALL!" She mumbled when she saw the boots weren't there. Megan couldn't very well go out looking for him; what would people think when they saw her yelling a man's name out on the street when no one could see him but her?
"Jack, I am going to KILL you!" She said as she paced the kitchen. After about twenty minutes of constant worrying and two aspirins, Jack burst through the door.
"'Ello, luv! How long 'ave you been 'ere for?" He said with a childish grin on his face.
"JACK SPARROW! How dare you scare me like that! Do you have ANY idea what trouble you could have gotten in? You don't know what its' like out there these days. You could have gotten yourself killed!" Megan hollered at Jack, slapping him.
Rubbing his red cheek, Jack muttered "It's Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow! And darlin', on the contrary, I am already dead, in a way. So there's no way I could die out there. And secondly, I'm not some animal that you can keep locked up!" His voice rising now, "I'm a human being too, you know! I need fresh air!"
Trying to stay calm (which wasn't easy), Megan countered, "Exactly Jack. Like me you are a human being. Like you, I have feelings," Her voice was starting to get a bit shaky, "I just wanted to protect you from this world. I hate it here, and frankly I would do anything to go anywhere but here. To know that you come from such a different time and age then me is, well it's weird. You don't know this world anymore Jack. You don't know this world, and you don't know how dangerous it is." One lone tear slipped down Megan's cheek.
Realizing how much he had scared Megan, Jack's face softened. Pulling her into a tight embrace, Jack said softly, "I'm sorry, Megan. I shouldn't 'ave gone out without any warnin'. But look," He made her look up at him, "I'm 'ere, savvy? Everythin''s fime."
She looked up at him, and grinned softly. "So Jack, what's behind your back then?"
Remembering the tux, Jack sputtered, "Um, nothin', darlin'! Nothin' that you need ta worry about! Now, be a dear and fetch us some food, eh? And I'll be righ' down!" He walked backwards towards the stairs, so Megan wouldn't see the tux, and smiled.
Megan laughed, still a little shaken fron the fright. She went to fix up som sandwiches and salad.
Jogging upstairs, Jack sighed. That was a close one. First he got Megan mad at him, then, upset, and now suspicious. She must be PMSing he thought. Earlier that day, before Jack went on his grand adventure, he'd found the door that led to the rooftop. Jack put the tuxedo up on the roof along with other supplies for his plan.
Smiling, he went back downstairs to join Megan for lunch.
~***~***~
The afternoon passed slowly for the duo. Jack was scurrying about the place, and wouldn't tell Megan what for. She knew he was up to something but couldn't figure out what.
Around six Jack pleaded for Megan to stay in her room and put on something fancy. Sighing, she agreed. She couldn't very well disagree with him. After all, she already felt bad enough for slapping him, and not to mention the fact that he had a pistol and a dagger with him. She slipped on the sundress that she bought that day, fixed her hair into a simple bun with curls hanging down to frame he face, and reapplied her make up.
A half an hour later, Jack stuck his head through the door, not looking at her.
"Darlin', turn around so you can't see me."
"But why?" she asked, grinning.
"It's a surprise, luv, and the suspense is half the fun!"
Obeying. Megan swiveled around, and heard Jack come in. He put a blindfold over her eyes and led her out the door. After a few minutes of trying not to bump ito things Megan felt fresh air blow against her face.
"You ready, luv?" Jack whispered huskily into her ear.
Shuddering from the feel of his warm breath on her neck, Megan nodded. She felt the blindfold come off, and gasped at the sight.
There in front of her on the roof was a perfect steak dinner for two, complete with candles and red wine. Megan turned around and gaped at Jack. He was standing there in a black tuxedo with a little sly grin on his face.
"Oh my gosh! Jack! This is amazing! You did this all for me?! So this is what you were hiding from me all afternoon!" Megan gushed, smiling like a mad fool.
"Yup. You needed a little upliftin' of the spirits, and considerin' today was a wonderful day for you, I thought I would make it even better with a rooftop dinner," Gesturing towards the food Jack smiled, "after you, darlin'."
Supper went well; Megan listened intently to Jack's stories as a pirate as she slowly munched on her meal. She laughed particularly hard at the part when he "roped a couple of sea turtles" in order to escape the island on which he had been marooned.
"And then they made me their chief!" Jack finished up yet another story as the too completed their dinners.
"Jack, I honestly don't know what to say. This has been the best day of my life, and you are such a good friend to me. I don't know how to thank you." Megan said, sitting beside him.
"You don't 'ave to, luv" He simply said.
Megan looked up at him and saw that he was looking back at her. His chocolate eyes lined with kohl bore into her and she was unable to look away. Jack took his hand and placed it on her cheek. Her skin was so warm and soft, and it seemed to be glowing in the night sky. Megan felt his callused hand touch her cheek. Although it was rough it was warm and she leaned her face against it. Jack leaned in closer, never breaking his gaze into her sparkling, hazel eyes. Megan's heart started to beat faster as she licked her lips. Jack looked down t her lips, barely an inch away from him. He looked back up to her eyes and was about to kiss her when...
"Megan! What are you doing on the roof?" Amy popped her head through the door.
Megan looked into Jack's eyes and sighed. She turned around at her sister, who apparently was home and said wearily, "Nothing, Amy, just looking at the stars. I'll be in to read you a story in a second."
Looking at Jack once more, seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Megan looked apologetic and got up and went back inside.
