Chapter 5-
Lanore's mom choked on the coffee she was drinking.
"Jack Sparrow?"
"Yes."
"He's not real!"
"Mom, listen..."
"Lanore Ayn! I think you have watched that "Pirates" movie too many times. And that sun must've fried your brain."
Just then, with the worst possible timing ever, jack walked through the open door.
"Jack! I told you to stay in the car!"
"I couldn't help it! That bloody music was blasting again!"
Lanore turned to her mother to try to explain, but her mother had fainted and fallen off the chair. Lanore shot Jack a warning look as to say, "great, now my mom's unconcious".
"Sorry," Jack said in an apologetic tone.
Lanore turned to her mother's limp body. "Well, let's try to wake her up."
When Lanore succeeded in reviving her mother, Her mom quickly rose to her feet and turned to Jack.
"Jack Sparrow, eh?"
"Well, it's "Captain" Jack Sparrow, but you're family." Jack said with a grin.
"Lanore, may I have a word with you in the kitchen?"
Lanore agreed and followed her mother to the kitchen.
"I can't believe this! First, my 14-year-old daughter goes missing. Then, she returns as an adult engaged to someone who is not supposed to exist!"
Lanore looked at her mother. "Mom, if he doesn't exist, then how is he standing in our living room?" Lanore's mother thought. "I don't know. This is so confusing. And how will your father an I ever afford to pay for the wedding?!" Lanore hadn't thought about that. Mom, it doesn't need to be fancy. All we need is to be married." Lanore's mom looked down, before returning her gaze to Lanore's eyes. "Do you love him?" "Yes." "Does he love you?" "Yes." Lanore's mother began to pace the floor. "What about a house? Where will you live? You can't get a job! You haven't even finished 8th grade!" Lanore thought long before saying the next thing. "Well, mom, Jack and I, we were planning on going back after the wedding." "Back to where?" "Back to the Caribbean, back to the past. That's his home. It's too hard for him here." Lanore's mother was silently crying. "So that's it. You're going to leave me again? And your sister, your father, your grandparents, your aunts, uncles, cousins, friends." "But mom! Jack would be giving up all that if he came here! I'm better at adjusting. He can't even work a radio." Lanore's mother stopped crying. "Fine. If it makes you happy. When and where is the wedding?" "Well, I gotta book it. Where ever can get us married the soonest."
Lanore remembered Jack and brought him a cup of coffee. "Sorry, we don't have rum." "Ye don't have rum! What kind of world is this?!" Lanore left him and went to the phone book to look for churches and wedding places. She called a few until she got a place that could have them married in 6 days. She wrote down the address and hung up. "Success! Jack and I can get married in 6 days at the same church you and daddy got married at!" "Uh-huh, lovely," her mother answered while reading a magazine. Lanore went in to tell Jack the good news. "Lanore, are you sure they'll let us get married? With me bein' a pirate and all." Lanore thought. "Sure. Just don't tell them you're a pirate, or make them think that...okay?" "Sure, luv."
