CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: "Bingo!"

-Lindsay's PoV-

"Will, you better have a plan," I said.

"Me?!" he asked incredulously from the other side of the cell.

"Yeah, you! You or Gibbs and he smells so we're relying on you!"

Paige was giggling from next to me, which led me to a little laugh, but not good enough to get me to a happy state of mind. We're gonna die when we find the others. But at least they got away. Paige told us that. Not so good for us, though. Death and destruction come to those who tamper with cursed gold – very true.

"Night," I said. I laid my head down on Paige's lap for a pillow and I felt Will's face shooting shock flames at me. Feel the bun… Bun? Burn, sorry… I meant burn… feel the burn!!! Never mind…

"You're friends are out there helpless and you want to sleep?!" Will asked.

"Well at least we know they're safe!" I yelled. "Now go away… I'm sleepy."

Will huffed and walked over to the door. I know because I'm looking out the corner of my eye… hehe… anyways, Will was examining the door. Gibbs walked up next to him and handed Will a little ax? Ax? Hmm… this'll be good… I sat up and watched through two eyes now.

"You're plan is?" I asked.

"To rescue the others and let you drown," Will said.

I dropped my jaw, but Will slipped a smile. I walked up and punched him in the arm.

"Ooo…." I growled. "So, how do we get out?"

"It's tricky… anything we do will make noise…"

"Duh," Paige said.

"Not you, too…" Will said.

"Aye, evil wenches," Gibbs, muttered.

"Excuse you!" I said. "So what do we do?"

"Don't start that again," Paige said. She smiled and pulled out Jack's dagger she had shown us.

"It might not fit, but let's try it," Will said, taking it and shoving it into the lock.

CHA-CHING!!!!

"Bingo!" I said as the door opened.

"Up to the deck," Gibbs said. "We can find a boat and rescue the others.

"K," I said.

- Up on Deck -

"Shut up!! SHUT UP!!"

"I'm trying!" I whispered frantically.

"All over a stupid toe stub…" Will said.

"You betcha!" I said, stomping my foot down. "Ow…"

I hobbled over to the rowboats with Paige, Will, and Gibbs. Gibbs was tying two of the boats together.

"This be yer own…" Gibbs said, patting the second boat. "Get in."

I stared at it and then at Paige.

"Do we gotta lower again?" Paige asked.

Gibbs sighed.

"Unless ye wanna be stuck in a boat with me, Miss Madrine, I suggest ye quit while ye're ahead."

Paige stared at him wide-eyed. I just stifled my laugh in my palm. Gibbs rounded me.

"It could very well be yer arse in that boat instead of hers with the dreaded Toilet Paper Tot." Gibbs smiled menacingly at me as I stared at him horrified and it was Paige's turn to get her laugh in. Gibbs walked away, and I elbowed her in the gut.

"Ow!" Paige muttered.

"Shh!" Will said.

"For the love of God be quiet!" Gibbs growled. "One more peep, and I'll kill ye!"

I jumped out at him about to say that we couldn't die cuz we're immortal, but then I remembered that my big mouth opened this morning and Rebecca lifted the curse, so I stepped back beside Paige and shut my mouth.

"You can always not lower and still help," Will said.

"Define help," I said.

"Do what you did to Gibbs," Will whispered. "Just really complicate it so we'd have time to escape."

Paige and I smiled.

"You got it, sir!" I said. "They have my bag in Rebecca's room, so we'll grab it quick. I've got lots of stuff in there."

"But quick and quiet about it," Will said. "Last thing we need is something bad to happen."

"So say that around her!" Paige said, pointing at me.

I elbowed her again.

"Hurry, we don't have time to fool with," said Will.

"Aye!" Paige and I whispered.

Slowly but surely, we ran on tiptoes across the deck and down into the ship. We looked into each room for Rebecca, and when we found her room, my bag was there, and so was our getaway.

"Tiptoes, tiptoes!" I whispered as Paige crept inside with me behind her. Our eyes never left the sleeping monster of death as I bent over to pick up my bag. I opened my second biggest area on my bag where all my defense/prank stuff was. Nitro Snappers, shaving cream, silly string, balloons (what? lol), dental floss… oh yes, the possibilities are endless! MUHAHAHA!!!

"Paige," I whispered barely.

She bent down next to me and mouthed 'What?'

I beckoned her closer, and handed her a box of Nitro Snappers and smiled.

- 20 minutes later -

Oh yeah, this was gonna be good. I put the shaving cream on Rebecca's hand and capped it, and Paige and I looked around the room with approving smiles.

"No this, me dear, is perfect," I said.

"And how exactly will this work again?" she asked.

"Well," I began, "we tickle Becca's nose with the feather. Then she'll go to reach for it with the arm we tied the dental floss to. When she does this, she'll get a good wallop of shaving cream in her face and tighten the dental floss to pull the bucket releasing all the marbles to roll down the toilet paper path into the other bucket. Then that bucket will fall onto this end of the spatula, which'll flip the darts back toward Becca and hit the balloons filled with honey and feathers, pop them, and it'll fall all over her! Then, when she stands up, her leg will pull the other string, and break the toilet paper cocoon that's filled with Nitro Snappers! And then she'll never get out because we've strung dental floss everywhere! MUAHAHAHA!!! It's ingenious! It's my idea!"

"What if the marbles are too heavy and break the toilet paper and fall on her?" Paige asked.

"It wont," I said.

"How do you know?"

"All of my ideas work!"

"Okay."

We heard someone come up behind us and we jumped as he stopped behind us, but it was just Will.

"What is this?" he asked looking grave.

"Her idea," Paige said, pointing at me. I smirked.

"I'm not explaining it again," I said.

"Well, we're ready. Come on, we've gotta go."

"Wait…"

I tiptoed over to Rebecca's bed barely breathing. I reached over her with the feather in hand and brushed her nose with it. Then, I ran back on tiptoes over to Paige and Will. I turned, but Rebecca hadn't moved, flinched, notta. I sighed, and went back over determined to make a fool of this evil twit. Little did I know I tripped the Nitro Snappers.

I stared as Rebecca's eyes flashed open.

"RUN!!!!" I bellowed. I fought my way through all the dental floss and Will and Paige reached for my hands, but Becca had me by the foot.

"Oh, where are you going?" she asked.

"GET OFF!!!!" I yelled. I kicked her with my other leg and hobbled out of the room leaving Rebecca to get out of our trap screaming for her men to kill us. Of course, I got my bag. I wasn't gonna abandon my food or clothes or new CD player! A few of her men stumbled out into the hall holding swords half asleep, and we stared at them in horror.

"Will?" Paige asked.

"Yes?"

"Now what?"

"What do you mean, 'now what?'" he asked. "RUN!!!"

"I already did that!" I said.

"Well run faster!" he said. We turned and flew up the stairs with the crewmen stumbling and staggering after us at half the speed.

"Gibbs!" Will yelled. "Cut the boats down! NOW!"

Gibbs pulled out a knife and started at the ropes of the first boat, and Paige and I slid past them. Paige pulled out the dagger Jack had given her and started at the ropes, and I took out my sword and wrapped it around the other ropes moving my arms faster than I knew I could. I heard the crewmen coming up on the deck and I moved even faster. Before I knew it, Gibbs and Will were in their boat and in the water, but Paige and I were too dumb to climb in the boat while cutting the lines. So, our boat fell to the water without us.

"Jump!" Paige said. I took her hand and we jumped together into the black ocean, barely missing the boat. That's good, though… I might've broken something hitting the boat from that far up. Paige and I plunged into the warm waters and kicked like mad to reach the surface for air. When we got up, we swam for the boat, and I looked up to see the crewman pointing at us from the deck. Paige got into the boat and pulled me in, and we started paddling after Will and Gibbs like there was no tomorrow!

"Will! Paddle faster!" Paige yelled.

"Hurry up! Get ahead of us!" Will yelled back. With that, we thrust the oars deeper into the ocean moving faster with each stroke until we had passed up Will and Gibbs' rowboat. I looked back at the ship again but saw no sign at all of Rebecca who was probably still fighting herself for freedom from the dental floss jungle. I laughed in my mind but not aloud.

"Did you manage to grab your bag?" Will asked as he and Gibbs rowed upside our boat.

"Yep," I said, panting like crazy. "Of course!"

"Well, in an hour we'll take five minutes to eat something small, but then we'll have to keep going to find the others," he said.

"Where be Jack?" Gibbs asked Paige.

I watched her do this. It was sorta cool. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply twice, and then her eyes flickered open.

"Six miles to our southwest," Paige said. "About two hours' rowing time."

Will sighed and nodded slowly, then turned to face southwest.

"We should be there by morning," he said quietly. "Do you know which island it is if we come to it?"

"Aye," Paige said. "No biggie."

"No biggie?" Gibbs asked giving her a weird look. I just threw my arm around Paige's shoulder and smiled.

"You're catching on well, matey," I said.

"Thanks… err… dude," Paige said.

We just laughed. Of course, there's Will and Gibbs staring us down like weirdoes…

"What are you looking at, ye scurvy sea dog?!" I yelled. "Get back to work! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! FASTER!!! Stroke FASTER!!!"

- Twilight (or Right before Sunrise) -

"Stroke… stroke…" I moaned.

"Can't we stop and eat now?" Paige asked.

"What? I'm not saying stroke as in 'row,' I'm saying it because I'm gonna have one!" I yelled.

"Jane, calm down," Will said. "We should be close to the island."

"Fifteen more minutes, past the first two islands," Paige said. "Not too much farther."

"Stroke… stroke… ow…"

- Erica's PoV -

I woke up. Shot up. Bad dream. Mr. Cotton's parrot must really hate me… this is the second time in two or three days I've had that dream… damn parrot…

Anyhoo, I looked around. The bonfire was reduced to nothing but soft glowing coals and charred sticks. Jack had passed out some point after Anamaria slapped him from drinking his full share from the hidden rum cellar on this island and lay next to the dead fire, Anamaria cozy next to the tree we were against last night with Jessica on her shoulder. Somehow I was in the middle of the beach between Jack and Elizabeth and Anamaria and Jess.

I looked at Jack and Elizabeth – evil idea forming. People want proof they were having the time of their lives on the island, I'll give 'em proof… I walked over to my bag and got out my camera, snapped one picture and returned it to my bag laughing silently.

I went over to Stewy to wake her up.

"Jess? Wake up," I whispered.

"No touchy," she moaned.

"Jess! Come on!"

"My bologna has a first name-"

"Stewy!"

"It's O-S-C-A-R…"

"Jess! Wake up already!"

"My bologna has a second name…"

Ugh… I trudged off and dived into the water and boy was it warm! My pool is nothing close to this! Ah, warmth…

"Grace!"

Huh? What was that? I looked up at the beach, nothing. I looked out to the ocean as the sun peered out of the water. Nothing. What the freak?

"Grace! Is that you?!"

"What the freak?! Go away! I convinced myself a long time ago I was sane!" I yelled. I looked around more. I saw something moving from by the one giant rock. Something was limping out of the water. I stared a moment as it called my name more, and then I recognized the ponytail of blonde hair – Thomas.
