CHAPTER TWO: "The Cha-Cha Slide!"

Ok, so I forgot about the baby... sue me! With all this excitement, it was all sort of a big blur...ok, so I'm bluffing... I'm a failure...just drop it, all right? I already feel bad...yes, I know I should feel guilty...I do! Shut up, Lindsay! Geez...

"Jessica!" Lindsay said, running over to her and Will. "We're big sisters!" Yes, this is a big achievement for them... they're the youngest in their families...hehe... you won't last a day, Lindsay...

"Cool!" Jessica said. "But I'm the middle child! No fair!"

"Pirates don't play fair," Will said, smiling at them. "Right, Jack?"

"Aye," Jack replied. "And very grateful to see you all here and accounted for!" Jack said happily.

"Why?" Lindsay asked.

"We need you three to come with us," Will said. Ok, this is getting a bit whacky... well, when hasn't it been?

"Why? I said. "You just got here! Don't you wanna catch up for a bit?" Jack gave me that disappointed smile. Crap...

"Love to have a little reunion, darling, but there really is no time. Tell us all about it back in Port Royal," Jack said as he made his way through my closet that was scattered all over. Port Royal?? No... did they really think we were coming? Well, Lindsay and Jessica did... their faces lit up when Jack said that they were taking us to Port Royal.

"Yes!" Jessica said.

"We're going to Port Royal!" Lindsay said.

"An adventure, just like we promised," Will said, mimicking Jack's maneuver to the door. Ok, this is odd... I is a good way to describe it.

"Uh, no!" I said. "What happened to my parents are in Germany? Their only there for three weeks!" Lindsay and Jessica stared at me again like 'how dare you prevent us from going to have the adventure of our lifetime.' Ok, so I was being a party pooper... I had reason! I finally sighed and gave in. How do I know that I'm gonna regret this? Well, Lindsay's whack plan didn't work and technically they owed me a crap load of ice cream but they had shown up, so I guess I owed it to them to lighten up and go with it... it was the opportune moment after all (yes, I must quote Jack!)...

"Fine," I sighed. "Let's get outta here!" Jessica and Lindsay smiled, and I was really excited now as we left my room. I was going to the Caribbean with hot guys and my two best friends! What else could you want? But when I got outside of my room, Jack and Will weren't too happy... they just gave us a look... you know, it's really hard to describe facial expressions. Theirs said 'they're gonna hate us...'

"Can't exactly do that yet," Will said. Jessica, Lindsay and Erica are lost... hello...yes, the third person is fun to speak in...

"Why?" Lindsay asked as they made there way towards the living room.

"Gotta tell ye the story first, luv," Jack said. They went over to the living room while I looked back into my room and sighed. I could barely see any of my Caribbean blue carpet (hehe...) anymore. I shut out the light on my closet, which flooded the floor and shut my bedroom door. I am gonna get Jack...

"What's going on?" I asked, sitting down into the beanbag chair next to Will and Lindsay. Jack and Jessica were on the couch, and ugh.

"We need you to come back to Port Royal with us," Jack said. Shock...yep, immediate shock. Sure, they could stay here a bit, but we couldn't go there. Oh, yeah... I already volunteered to go... forgot... We'd be killed! Oh well... Well, we almost died a few times last year... boy, how do I get my self into these things?

"Why do you want us to go with you?" Jessica asked. I could tell Jessica would have no problem going... neither would I... but there's this little thing called our parents...

"Who cares!" I said.

"Yeah! Let's hear this story," Lindsay said.

"Story? As in bedtime?" Jessica asked.

"Shut up, Stewy," I said.

"Get comfortable," Will whispered to me and Lindsay. Without word, Lindsay and I jumped up and ran for the table of junk food. Lindsay grabbed the cheese curls and I got the popcorn and gallon of 'rum.' Jack eyed us suddenly... in particular, Lindsay.

"You doofus!" I said, sitting down on my red beanbag chair.

"What?" Lindsay asked.

"Those are cheese curls..." Jessica said.

"And?" Lindsay asked. I sighed, and Jessica and I motioned from the bowl in her hands to Jack whose eyes were fixed on the bowl. Lindsay finally got it (after forever), and gave Jack the bowl. He started eating by the handful as Lindsay brought over the pizza box that has barely anything in it...

"Well?" I said, looking up at Jack. He was still eating as we all stared at him. So, what do we do to cure this little problem? We bring in the loud-mouthed rum hater (as Jack likes to call her)...

"AHH!!!" Jessica screamed in his ear.

"AHH!!!" Jack screamed, sending the bowl of cheese curls airborne. He stared at Jessica who smiled sweetly. "I'm not entirely sure I missed you..." Jack said, rubbing his ear.

"We wanna hear the story!" Jessica said.

"Alright! Alright!" Jack said. "Don't get hostile..." He sat back into the couch, and we all leaned forward eager to hear this.

"Began when we said our goodbyes last year," Will started. "We went back to the Black Pearl, and the crew was in shock wondering where we had been."

"Gibbs kept going on about us being ghosts..." Jack said.

"Anyways," Will said, "we told the crew of the entire adventure with you three. We showed them all the stuff you gave us, the food, and we told them all about you three with the necklaces and stuff." Lindsay, Jessica, and I bit our lips. That wasn't too smart...

"You told them everything?" Lindsay asked.

"Your names, what we gave you, the whole ordeal," Jack said. "Thought the lot of us was loony."

"That's not good..." Jessica said.

"No one believed you?" I asked.

"Gibbs and Anamaria were the only ones," Jack said. "Loyal, those two are..."

"What next?" Jessica asked.

"Well, there was the mutiny..." Jack said.

"Mutiny?" Lindsay and I asked in unison.

"Threw the five of us in a rowboat with the 'cursed stuff' and that was that. No more Pearl for us...then they went and told every soul they could about the story we had told them." Jack said. "Gibbs and Anamaria went with us since the crew saw that they were on our side, and we shoved off and haven't seen me ship since."

"That's gotta suck..." I said. "Everyone knew?"

"Aye, Gracey," Jack said to me.

"Afterwards, we decided to go back to Port Royal," Will said.

"Bet the Governer was glad to see you, Jack," Lindsay said.

"Never did," Jack said happily. "Before going back to Port Royal, we made a side trip to Isle de Muerta. Will and Elizabeth left me there with Gibbs, Anamaria, and the stuff ye gave us and rowed back home."

"You left them there?" I asked Will. Our heads spun to Will...

"Will! How could you?!" Jessica snapped at him.

"Yeah..." Lindsay said. "Abandoning three helpless pirates like that..." We giggled a bit before Will continued on.

"It was either leave them there or get them hung in Port Royal," Will said. "We left them there until our wedding was over, and then we sailed back for them."

"You went back for them and the Governer let you?" Jessica asked.

"No, the Governer got us our own ship as a wedding present called the Meridian," Will said. "We sailed out one night and got them."

"Took ye long enough," Jack said. "For two bloody weeks I had to sit there and listen to Gibbs fight with Anamaria. And when she didn't like that, she'd take it out on me face." The three of figured that meant he'd been slapped up a lot... poor Jack...

"And then what?" Jessica asked excitedly.

"We picked them up, and to make it up to them for leaving them there so long, we took them to Tortuga for a day," Will said.

"Aye," Jack said. "So, in Tortuga, the newly weds stay back on the ship, Gibbs runs off to only God knows where, and Anamaria and I go and have ourselves a pint."

"Oooo.... a date..." Jessica said, taunting him. Jack looked over at Jessica seriously, and she stopped with Jack's threat of pulling out the gun again and going trigger-happy on her. I'm surprised he hasn't done it yet...

"Mary, be happy you've lived to see this day," Jack said. "Now let me continue, savvy?"

"Aye, aye, sir!" Jessica said. Jack rolled his eyes and continued.

"So, barmaid comes over, and I start talking to her," Jack said.

"Ooo! Anamaria didn't like that, huh?" Lindsay asked.

"Did you get slapped?" I asked.

"Did you deserve it?" Jessica piped happily. Jack eyed us again, and we sat back trying to shut up... we're really bad at that...

"Now! As I was sayin..." Jack said loudly. "Barmaid started tellin' us that our lives were in danger. The story of our adventure traveled faster than I would've guessed because the danger had to deal with the ruby," Jack said. "An enemy of ours wants the ruby and our lives...not any Royal Navy officer or that, but a pirate." I smiled... this sounds so much like a ghost story...wait, never mind... our ghost stories are about battling metal rocky squirrels...

"Cool!" Jessica said.

"What? "Lindsay asked. "Barbossa's ghostly soul come back or something?" We smiled up at Jack amusingly. When we saw he wasn't smiling, we turned to Will, but he also carried a serious expression...uh oh...

"You're kidding..." I said nervously. "Barbossa couldn't be alive... not after that terrific ending!" Jack and Will were looking at the floor now, avoiding Jessica's, Lindsay's, and my stares. "You're not serious! You can't be! Barbossa's dead!" I started shooting off.

"Oh, Barbossa's dead, I can assure ye of that," Jack said. "It's his youngin' we'd be on the watch for at the moment." Jessica, who was drinking at the time Jack had said this, suddenly sprayed me, Lindsay, and Will with iced tea. Eww...

"Barbossa had a kid?!" Jessica screeched.

"Hard to believe that one..." Lindsay said. "He's downright ugly!"

"Aye," Jack said. "See, barmaid tells me she's found out all about the story that the crew had been circulatin'. Well, she vows now that she will find us, get the ruby, and go back in time with it to kill us before we kill her father. After she picks up this load of information, she heads out to the Pearl and killed off me entire crew. Seems she knows an awful lot about this jewel, and she knew my crew wouldn't believe me when they heard the tale... but she used to own it supposedly. She knows more about it than I or Will do put together. That's why she's got a power over us...has an advantage, ye see."

"Holy crap..." Lindsay said slowly. "The entire crew was killed off?"

"Barbossa had a daughter?" Jessica asked in the same way Lindsay had. I rolled my eyes and we ignored the stupidity of Stewy...

"The entire crew was killed," Jack said. "If I was there, I would've killed her. She wasn't always that evil, ye know. Quite sweet twelve years ago..."

"Twelve-?"

"Sailed with her and her father years before the mutiny..." Jack said, cutting Jessica short. "Four years later, the mutiny occurred that made me kill Barbossa – the exact reason Rebecca is seekin' revenge on me."

"Rebecca? Is that her name?" I asked.

"Aye," Jack replied simply.

"So what happened after you found out she took the Pearl and was after you, Will, and Elizabeth?" Jessica asked.

"Got mad..." Jack said. "Sailed back to Port Royal with Will and Elizabeth... Gibbs and Anamaria stayed in Tortuga til the got a boat."

"Jack? In Port Royal?" Lindsay asked.

"He came back with us, and I let him stay in the blacksmith's shop," Will said. "He's been in hiding, and it's been amazingly easy to keep him under wraps. "

"So in the meantime," Jack said, "Arielle was born later in January, I watched over her when Will and Elizabeth wanted a night to themselves, stole, plundered...and when Gibbs and Anamaria found a small boat, I went and sailed for a week or two."

"Withdrawal symptoms?" I asked with a smile.

"Aye," Jack said. "It's not funny, lass..." he said, rounding Lindsay.

"Yes it is..." Lindsay laughed.

"So, how long were you there?" I asked.

"Jack's been with us almost a year...ever since Tortuga," Will said. "He's been going crazy...crazier than usual..."

"I vowge," I said. Jack shot us looks, and we shut up.

"Well, now Jack decides he can't sit on dry land while Barbossa's daughter is blasting towns left and right in search for us." Will said. "So, Jack comes to us, and we decide to go after her. We'll take the Meridian and tell the Governor we'll be gone about a week... you three will sneak on board with Jack; we go to Tortuga to get a crew, find Rebecca somehow, and kill her, all the while keeping the ruby from her grasp. And you come with us." We stared at him...

"Ye wanted an adventure, right?" Jack asked at the sight of our faces. "This is a good time to have it... think of all the stuff ye could do..." Jack smiled, and then realized what he said. Hmm... what could we do ( -evil grin- )?

"We could have Port Royal and the Caribbean bowing to us!" Jessica said. "Great pirate daughters from the future!" Lindsay and I laughed, and Will smiled.

"We can wear awesome pirate clothes and swordfight!" I said excitedly.

"And we can teach them the Cha-Cha Slide!" Lindsay said.

"Teach them the what?" Will said.

"The Cha-Cha Slide!" Lindsay said. She got to her feet and started dancing. "Now it's time to get funky..," Lindsay sang. "To the left! Take it back now, ya'll...criss cross! Criss cross! Come on, Jack!" she said, pulling him up with her. "To the left! Take it back now, ya'll..."

PUMF!

"Lindsay, teaching them the Cha-Cha slide isn't exactly smart..." Jessica said after Jack threw a pillow at Lindsay to shut her up.

"Yeah, let's teach them YMCA..." I said with a smile. Lindsay scowled.

"I am so under-appreciated," Lindsay muttered as she flopped down on the couch with Jack. Jack eyed her for that crazy little stunt she had just pulled on him until she slammed him in the stomach with a pillow. "Don't do that again..." Lindsay said.

"Ye can tell she's Elizabeth's," Jack said to us. We smiled.

"So, are you three coming?" Will asked.

"Are you crazy?!" Jessica said. "We'd be crazy not to! This is crazy!"

"Likes to say crazy a lot, eh?" Will said. We nodded.

"Great," Jack said as we took off for my room. "Hey, where ye runnin' off to?" Jack said as he and Will ran after us. Lindsay, Jessica, and I ran into my room and started searching for bags and stuff to bring. This is so great...

"What's going on?" Will said as they appeared in my doorway.

"Packing," I said.

- Yeah, yeah, ok, ok.... BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE? -

Sorry, had to get that out... Jack made me say it!!!

Please Review! =))
