Author's Notes: I always either have writer's block or no initiative, even though I love this story! Arg! Swash swash buckle buckle!

Author's Notes #2: I'm having Kat help with a picture of the entire crew. I've got good ideas, so watch for a link soon!

Author's Note #3: I know no one cares, but I found a ring of my mom's that has a black pearl in it! I'm wearing it from now on because it makes me think of the Black Pearl and that in turn makes me think of Jack Sparrow...Sigh It's almost like having a ring with him on it! Actually, another side note, for those who don't know and may be reading this...I DO have a ring with John Lennon's picture on it. It is my pressssscioussssssssssssssssssss...Hiss Gollum!)

Author's Note #4: I realize I made a very big error in the naming of whom was on what ship...I missed Echo! And Jane! Don't worry Echo and Jane, I still love you! Echo, you're on the Ferret. Jane, you're on the Pearl. I apologize again for forgetting you! Also, AnnaMariea was supposed to be on the Pearl, not the Ferret! So sorry for inconveniencing you all! I have it this way for a reason! I have plans!

Author's Note #5: More apologies! I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. I have plans for the next chapter being very long and instead of adding the stuff and making this unbearably long to read and write, I've made this a shorter chapter...

CHAPTER 5: "WHERE ARE WE GOING?"

As the ships rose, everyone on board had problems with the concept of vertical.

Kat and Angelina were holding onto the wheel and trying to have a normal conversation, besides the fact that they were parallel with the deck.

"So, Kat...I think Rum's crazy, how about you?"

"The part about following Peter Pan? Yep. The part about going to Neverland? Nope!"

"WHAT?!"

"I loved Neverland when I was a child! This is like my childhood dream!"

Angelina gave her The Look. The look that meant that people thought you were crazy and should be immediately sedated and put in the nearest mental institution. "My childhood dream was to meet Prince Charming, have him save me from an evil witch and take me to a castle in the clouds."

Now it was Kat's turn to give Angelina The Look.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

"Whee!" Jack was having fun being drunk on the deck of the tilting ship. Too much fun.

"Charlotte, come 'ere! Watch this!" Jack stood on the railing and fell onto the deck. "See? No hands!"

Charlotte, who had gotten drunk with Jack giggled incessantly. She WAS a mini Jack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

AnnaMariea was having the absolute worst time trying to cook a decent rum soufflé. It kept deflating.

"I give up cooking!" she took the almost full rum bottle and threw her head back, taking a looooooooong swallow...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Rum was having a wonderful time, immersed in her own thoughts about Peter Pan.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Jane was scampering around the rigging like a monkey, reciting Tarzan lines and singing songs from the Jungle Book, while wearing a leaf outfit.

Once, Rum mistook her for Peter Pan and climbed the rigging and nearly suffocated Jane by hugging her so tight. The confusion was straightened out when Rum threw her off the mast, wanting to see her fly. Jane clawed at the ropes she passed while hurtling downward and finally got her foot caught in some and was stuck hanging upside down, which was technically almost right side up...if you think about it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Meanwhile, on the Ferret, there had been an uproar. Although the ship was big, it wasn't big enough for Will and Lina. Lina had decided that there being less people on board it would give her a better chance to run into Will...or track him down.

Echo, being the quiet one, had taken over the wheel while Sarah tried to restore order on her ship.

Gabby and Orla were tormenting Jesse. Elizabeth and Lina were having a catfight. Jchin was going around barking orders to everyone. Sarah was going to kill someone soon! To calm herself, she shut herself in the captain's quarters and stroked her ferret evilly. She had plans for her crewmembers if they got too bad...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Gabby and Orla burst in the cabin, even though it had been locked (Go figure. It's a plot hole I don't intend to mend.). "SARAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHAT?!"

"Where are we going?"

Sarah screamed and Gabby and Orla closed the door quickly and ran to the other end of the ship, fearing her wrath.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

The crew of the Pearl heard distant screams. They looked up and wondered where they were coming from.

Each in turn, listened for a while and then shrugged and went back tot heir own business: Rum daydreaming, Jane going back to her line "You Tarzan, me Jane.", Jack and Charlotte doing stupid drunken tricks with the aid of the sloping deck, Angelina and James discussing the finer points of being on the crew of Jacobus Hook, AnnaMariea trying to make a French delicacy under the influence of strong rum, and Kat plotting with Tinkerbelle about ways to kill Hook with the aid of a pointy sword...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Sarah had finally reached her end...there was going to be some serious damage if she could just figure out – in her blinding rage – how to unlock the bloody door... (Again, a plot hole...how did the door relock after Gabby and Orla? We might never know...)
