-I own the disk I write this on, Lindsay, Jessica, Arielle Faye Turner, Rebecca Barbossa, Paige Castrella Madrine (Lillian Paige Barbossa), Thomas Pikes, and the Meridian... I love feeling special.

CHAPTER NINE: "So where's Tarzan?"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"What?!" I yelled.

"Jack said you can come out now," I heard Will said through the door.

"K!" Jessica said.

"We'll be out in a little,' Paige said.

"Alright," Will said. We listened to him climb the stairs up to the deck.

"Is he gone?" Lindsay asked.

"Yep, I think so," Jessica said. "Coast clear?"

"I'll check..." Paige said. She peered out into the hallway. "Coast clear."

"Then let's hit it," I said. I walked up behind Paige with Lindsay and Stewy behind me. Jessica was carrying her old book bag that was filled with the things we needed for the mission. Mission codename: Gibbs Gang-up. Cool, huh? Hey, we need to have some fun...

"Quietly..." Lindsay whispered as we went into the hall. We walked to the stairs and went down a flight next to them into the crew's quarters.

"Where would Gibbs be?" I asked, looking at all the lined rows of doors.

"Umm..." Jessica said. Yeah, that's me as well...

"He's probably not even asleep," Lindsay pointed out.

"Try the kitchen!" I said. "He's probably eating... this stuff is way too confusing..." We turned to go down another set of stairs. It was another hall, but it was bigger. We linked arms and walked to the end were there was a doorframe.

"This is it, right?" I asked.

"It should be..." Jessica said. "Weapons ready!" Lindsay opened Jessica's book bag and threw stuff at us. Paige caught some toilet paper, I got the honey, Lindsay got shaving cream, and Jessica was holding her favorite weapon – silly string.

"How much of that stuff did you bring?" I asked.

"A lot," Jessica said. "Like... six or seven cans of it." I whistled lightly in surprise as we crouched low. Stewy went in first.

"Nothing," she said disappointedly as she dropped the silly string to her side. She walked out of the room and back to us. "Just candles, empty plate, and tankards."

"That sucks," Paige said. "Let's try up on deck?"

"Jack and them are up there though," Lindsay said. "We can't."

"Ugh..." I said. "Let's just go... maybe we'll get lucky and Jack went to the bathroom..."

"No..." Lindsay said.

"All in favor of ditching Jane say aye!"

"Aye!" Paige and Jessica said. They ran back over to the stairs and ran up. I smiled at Lindsay.

"Come on, Munchy..." I said, walking away.

"Don't call me that!" Lindsay said.

"I call everyone that!"

"Not me!"

"I just did..."

"Psh... whatever..."

When Lindsay and I were on deck, Jessica and Paige pulled us against the wall under the stairs like we had done in Port Royal.

"So now what?" I asked.

"Gibbs is talking to Elizabeth," Jessica said.

"Jack and Will are probably right above us at the wheel..." Paige said. "Gibbs and Elizabeth are standing right along the rail... you're lucky they didn't see you two."

"So sue me!" Lindsay said.

"Shut up!" I whispered.

"We need to distract them..." Jessica said. "Any ideas?"

"No..." I said.

"Let's just go up shooting!" Lindsay said with a laugh in her voice. We stared at her a moment until Stewy smiled menacingly.

"What a great plan!" Jessica said.

"I was joking!" Lindsay said. "Are you crazy?!"

"Aye!" Jessica whispered, going onto the stairs. "That's why I'm Mad Mary, isn't it?" I smiled.

"Same here!" I said following her.

"Bye!" Paige said, coming up behind me. Lindsay sighed and came up behind us.

"You're gonna get us in trouble!" Lindsay said.

"So? This is Jack..." Jessica said.

"Yeah, he'll laugh about it..." Paige said.

"Okay," Jessica said as we came up on the landing, "One, two –"

"THREE!!!" We screamed, jumping out from the stairs. We blasted Gibbs like crazy with Elizabeth staring in shock at him. Gibbs fell over covered in silly string, shaving cream, honey, and then Paige ran around him making him a toilet paper mummy.

"Blast you!" Gibbs yelled.

"You hear that? "Jessica said. "He wants more! FIRE!" We blasted him even more, and then Paige resumed her wrapping. Elizabeth hadn't taken her eyes off Gibbs yet. Jack and Will were just now realizing Gibbs was being attacked and were running over. Paige finished and we exchanged high-fives with huge smiles.

"Mission accomplished," Jessica said. We laughed as Jack and Will came over.

"What the blazes...?" Jack said, slowing down to see Gibbs. "What happened to you, sailor?" We giggled.

"Ah, hello girls," Will said.

"Hi," Lindsay said as we bit our tongues harder. Jack was staring at Gibbs like 'WTF???' Our laughter escaped as we saw that look on his face. Jack looked at us along with the still-in-shock Elizabeth.

"Are you ok?" Will asked her.

"Fine... just a scare, that's all," she said.

"Why did ye do this?" Jack asked us.

"It was funny," I said.

"And within the rules!" Paige said. "He does know about us..." Jack looked at Gibbs who stood looking back at Jack and us in disgust. He tried to rip the toilet paper off, but the honey screwed that up...

"Hmm..." Jack said. "Job well done, I'll give ye that... whatever ye did..."

"It a prank," I explained (-chucks honey at Gibbs- "Hey!" Gibbs yelled. What? You think I really care?).

"And this is how you do it... "Jessica said, motioning at Gibbs. Jack smiled.

"Now that will come in handy," he said. "Keep up the good work! Gibbs! Clean yourself up, sailor!"

"Aye, Captain..." Gibbs muttered, stalking off to the staircase. Jack and Will were smiling. We laughed.

"See, the future is weird, but good at it," Lindsay said.

"Especially if you got Mad Mary on your side..." I said.

"Aye!" she said happily.

"Well, good prank, but keep it down at night," Will said. "You'll be killed by the crew..."

"I'll take on the beasts!" Jessica said extending her silly string can with one eye open. "All of them! Bring 'em on!"

"Stop with the stupidness," I said. "That can is empty..." Jessica shook it and sprayed.

"It can't be empty..." she said, hitting the bottom. With one more hit on the bottom of the can, blue silly string came flying out of the can and onto Jack. He looked at her. Jessica smiled really big.

"Hi Jack..." she said nervously.

"Hello, Mary," Jack replied. Elizabeth and Will were now laughing with us.

"That's a good look for you, Jack," Elizabeth said.

"Thanks, but I like me old look if ye don't mind," Jack said, pulling the silly string off of him. "Put that stuff away, Mary... save it for when ye really need it..." We laughed as we put the things back into Stewy's book bag. We followed Elizabeth and Will to the wheel with Jack.

"Sorry about that, Elizabeth," Paige said.

"It's fine," Elizabeth said. "When you're with these girls, you really need to be on guard of what they'll do next..."

"We'll take that as a compliment," Lindsay said.

"Yeah, thanks," I said. Lindsay, Paige, and I followed Elizabeth and stood looking up at the starry sky and the big silver moon. Jessica was over with Will, and Jack was taking his rightful place at the wheel. Jessica and Will went over to him, and I got up and went over, too.

"So, when do we get to Isle de Muerta?" Jessica asked.

"Soon enough," Jack replied shortly. I felt Paige, Lindsay, and Elizabeth come up behind me as Jack moved the wheel towards me. I smiled. I'd love to sail a ship... how cool would that be? But I shut up because-

"AHHH!!!!!" Jessica screamed.

"What?!" I said spinning around.

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked.

"There's someone coming up the stairs!"

We looked over to the stairs to see a dark figure climbing up the staircase. It was girl... her hair was flowing in the soft breeze along with her skirt.

"Anamaria?" Jack asked.

"Aye, Captain," she said as she came closer.

"Cool..." I heard Lindsay say from next to me. Anamaria looked down at us. She was somewhat perplexed.

"Jack? Are these...?"

"The Littles, yes," Jack said. "Mad Mary, Bloody Jane, Black Grace."

"Who is the other girl?" Anamaria asked him.

"She joined the crew today," Will said. "Her name is Li- Paige and she's psychic."

"She can help us with the whereabouts of Rebecca Barbossa," Elizabeth said. "She'll be quite a help."

"Oh yes, I've heard about you already," Anamaria said. "Pleasure to meet you, girl."

"Same," Paige said with a smile.

"And you, too," Anamaria said to the three of us.

"Same," we said. After that, about two hours passed in silence, other than Jessica, Lindsay, and I telling Paige all these stories from back home. Anamaria and Elizabeth had turned in already while we remained wide awake.

"And then we screamed 'I smell bacon!' until his head was beating off the steering wheel!" Lindsay said.

"Jack helped us annoy him really good," Jessica said. "Ye got any cheese, mate?" she said, imitating him. We laughed.

"Sounds like it was a lot of fun," Paige said.

"Tons," Lindsay said.

"Oh yeah," Jessica said.

"I wasn't there..." I said. "But it sounded great when I actually got to hear the whole thing without them laughing constantly."

"Wow," Paige said. "If only I could go to that place with you someday. I'd love to see all the things that make you like this!"

"You can someday," I said.

"Really?" she asked.

"Sure!" Lindsay said. "This isn't the last time we'll see each other."

"Yeah, you can come back to visit next summer!" Jessica said. "We'll have a blast!"

"I guarantee it," I said.

"It can really happen with the ruby?" Paige asked.

"Yep," Lindsay said. "And you'll be loving life!"

"I can't wait until that happens someday," said Paige.

"Neither can we," Stewy said.

"Hey! Lassies!" Jack yelled from over by the wheel.

"Yeah?" Lindsay yelled back.

"Come here!"

"Coming!"

We ran over to Jack and Will at the wheel.

"What?" Paige asked.

"Get ready to go ashore," Will said.

"We'll drop anchor in an hour," Jack said.

"Where's the island?" I asked, spinning around in circles.

"Not that much farther," Jack said. "Paige! Update me on the enemy..."

"Oh, ok..." Paige said. "Err... Rebecca is just starting out for the island. If we get a better breeze, we can get there earlier than we thought."

"Thank you, Paige," Jack said. "You girls can carry on now."

"I'm hungry..." Lindsay said. "I'm ready for some midnight snacks and sleep. You game?" she asked us.

"Aye," I said. "Let's raid our boxes of food."

"Wait, we're gonna be there in an hour Jack said," Paige told us.

"Well, we'll just eat and talk til then!" Lindsay said. "Let's get the rum, some Oreos, maybe enjoy a nap..."

"Or even play dress up!" Jessica said excitedly.

"Maybe," I said. "Let's get below."

-- 1 hour later --

"Jack is gonna kill us..." Paige said.

"Ah... the risk is the fun of it for the thousandth time!" Jessica said. "What do you think? Is the hat a bit much?"

"Nah... you look good in Jack's hat," I said. "But you're forgetting who's Little Sparrow here..." I pushed Jessica onto Jack's bunk and took the hat to try it on. I stood in front of the mirror and threw on Jack's big green coat. It weighed me down a bit, but I held up. I had my hair up like Jack's (sorta...) with my own red bandana I had made out of a cut up shirt.

"How's GASPWHEEZE this?" Lindsay asked, walking in from Will and Elizabeth's room. She was wearing the dress Elizabeth was the first day we were out at sea, and she had her hair in a messy updo. I'm guessing she also had on one of those stupid corsets... she was hacking like some druggie. We just laughed.

"Take that thing off before you kill over!" Stewy laughed.

"Well how else COUGH was I gonna get on the WHEEZECOUGH dress?!" said Lindsay sarcastically.

"Take that thing off..." I said.

"You peeping... Erica, you!"

"I bet you wanted to say Tom..."

"Shut up WHEEZE...he's hot!"

"I can do your hair really nice," Paige said.

"Really GASP?" Lindsay asked.

"Yeah... have a seat..." Paige started to comb out Lindsay's long brown hair as I fixed the red bandana I had made earlier in my hair. I had Jessica put on a brown vest to look like Will, and she was pretty cool.

"Nice," I said, looking her over.

"You look great, too!" Jessica said. "You just need the kohl..."

"Where is it?" I asked.

"How should I know?"

"Don't mess up his stuff!"

"Well, I'm trying to find something here..."

"Try that GASPWHEEZECOUGH little thing there..." Lindsay said, pointing at a trinket on the bottom shelf above Jack's bed.

"Which one?" I asked.

"Silver thing..." she said.

"I don't see it!"

"Look WHEEZE harder!"

"Where?!"

"God you're COUGH blind!"

"Found it!"

"Now she sees it..."

"Hey, shut up Lindsay!"

"It's COUGHGASP Jane!"

"Excuse me! So where's Tarzan?"

"Erica..."

"It's Grace!"

"Both of you shut it," Jessica said.

"Wrong place anyways..." Paige said. "It's up on the second shelf." I finally found it, and I stood in front of the mirror about to put it on when we shook suddenly. My kohl was smeared across my entire cheek.

"Now what?!" I asked, wiping the kohl on one of the towels we brought.

"We're here..." Paige said. "I think..."
