Chapter Seventeen

. Val's PoV (still) .

Jack and I both were at a loss of words. I really regreted saying that one...

"Sorry..." I said, opening the car door.

"Wait-"

"I dunno why I-"

Jack grabbed my arm before I made my getaway and looked me straight in the face.

"I'm sorry..." I said. "Please, I-"

He held up his hand, and I silenced myself as he leaned in.

"You don't have to do this..." I whispered on the verge of tears.

Jack took my hand in his, and the other met my chin. I got really nervous with every second that passed.

"What fun would that be then?" he asked.

I smiled with him and swallowed hard. I closed my eyes and thought I would die from hysteria, and then he kissed me.

. Brandon's PoV .

Oh geez... I fell asleep again?

I sat up and yawned, unaware of what was happening next to me. I looked around, and I finally saw Jack...

"Hey, Jack?"

He didn't move, but I heard him whisper 'we've been found out' and a giggle followed.

"What's going on?"I asked.

Eventually, Jack sat up straight, and Val was beside him. My eyes widened, and I pointed at them.

"You didn't..." I said.

"Didn't what?" Val asked innocently.

"Jack, please tell me you weren't..."

"So what if we were?" Val asked. "Come on, let's go inside!"

She and Jack jumped out of the car, and I just sat there.

"BJ! You coming?" Val asked.

"Yeah," I said. "Coming."

In the Club -

"Hey, Jack!" Val said. "Look! Breakdancing!"

"Let's do that!" Jack said.

"How about finding Ronie?" I asked.

"Sorry, B. You're on your own. C'mon, Jack!" Val said, tugging him along.

I sifted through the crowd looking for any of them, but no luck yet.

"Hey! You!"

"Me?"

"Yeah, man! Come here..."

I walked up to the dj.

"Yeah?"

"Here's your mike and card."

"What?"

"Get up on stage, brother! Your girl is waiting!"

"Huh?"

"You'll see," he said.

I took the microphone slowly and walked away with the dj starting to laugh. What the heck? Is Ronie pulling a rap contest now? I stood up in the middle of the stage when the dj boomed over the crowd.

"People!"

The crowd cheered and turned toward me, and the dj continued.

"We have a special fella here tonight with a special announcement! Your attention please!"

A big light shown on me, and I sheiled me eyes.

"Um... okay..." I laughed. "Uh... I have an announcement, I guess..."

Somebody in the crowd gave a whistle.

"Uh... thanks..." I said. :Well, I'm gonna say whatever's on this card, and that is, uh... 'Roses are red, violets are blue, will you marry me honey because AHHH!"

I stepped back, realizing what I had just said. I stared out into the crowd, jaw dropped. Holy crap. I'm gonna kill somebody when it's all said and done.

"Finish it!" someone yelled.

I swallowed and held the microphone up looking down at the little card.

"...because I love you."

Cheers came from everywhere and I watched the spotlight chase Ronie upon stage next to me.

"You just proposed to me," she said in shock.

"I guess you could call it that," I said nervously.

"Are you serious?" Ronie asked.

"Why not?" I asked.

She eyed me, then gave me a hug.

"Oh, what the hell..." she said.

The crowd cheered, and Will and Clay came up. Crap... I'm engaged!

"Cool!" Clay said. "Never expected that one!"

"Congratulations," Will said. "Say, have you seen Jack?"

"Not since we left the car," I said.

Will ran off, and Ronie grabbed my arm.

"You just left the car?"

"Yeah," I said. "But Ronie, I gotta tell you something."

"What?"

"Come on... let's get a drink."

. Ronie's PoV .

Holy crap, I'm engaged.

BJ bought us some drinks, and we sat down. I hadn't really expected that... especially now.

"Ronie?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you plan this?"

I choked on my drink and sat it down.

"What? No! I thought you did..."

"But I just got in here!"

"So, you didn't want to-"

"Not yet!" Brandon said. "We're trying to save you from Michigan, remember?"

"Yeah..."

"Hey, I love you, and don't you think otherwise."

I nodded, toying with my straw.

I don't have commitment problems, so don't get me started.

Then, I heard a loud cheer from the other end of the club.

"Go Sparrow! Go Sparrow!"

"Oh god, not again..." I muttered as we got up and started over.

. Val's PoV .

"Whoo! Yeah!" I yelled from the middle of the circle with Jack.

"Go Sparrow! Go Sparrow!"

"Jack!"

"What!"

"Throw me up again!"

He picked me up, and I went sailing over the crowd and onto the stage. I saw the microphone and picked it up.

"Hey everyone! Give it up for Jack Sparrpw!"

Everyone whooped, cheered, stomped, and hollered. Then I saw Ronie and Brandon breaking through the crowd.

BING

Idea!

"Hey all! It's time for a round of freestyle!"

Whoops and cheers...

"Ronie! Get up here!"

The crowd let her through, and she jumped up on stage.

"You, too, Sparrow!" I said. I handed them each a microphone, and they waved to the crowd.

"Val, what are you doing!" Ronie whispered.

"Getting us all famous!"

"But-"

"Okay!" I yelled. "We'll start with my good friend, Ronie! You're up!"

. Ronie's PoV .

"Up? I'm not up, Val-"

"Oh, yes, you are! You can freestyle good!"

"Val!"

Too late... the music started.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. You will die, Val... I faced the crowd, and I started my weird rap...

"I am Ronie, you're worst nightmare
I'll rap so fast, you can't help but starte
But that's me
Got the weirdest group you'll ever see
From sea to shining sea
Don't bet on my talen
Cause if I got it, you want it
So forget it
It's me
Let it be
Not good at math. can't even add
And it's sad
Because neither can my dad
I'm only good for the stage
Despite my young age
So shine the spotlight on me
Hand me a mike
Let me sing
Let me be
Don't forget the name... Ronie."

I stopped, and the crowd went crazy.

"Whoa!" Val said. "Can Sparrow beat the Rap of Ronie?"

Jack stepped forward. I about died from contained laughter even before he began. The music changed, and Jack let loose.

"Got me ship back
It's in tact
Sails are black
That's a fact
Step back
So I can let go
And ye otta know
The name is Saprrw
I sing yo ho
While drinkin' rum
With the scum
I call me crew
And they do
What I tell them to
'Cause I'm in charge
The captain livin' large
The man they call sarge
Been at sea me whole life
Don't got a wife
Bravin' the waves
And charmin' the maids
Evil monkey took me name
Barbossa's to blame
And it's lame
To reach out and steal me fame
That's alright, though
I don't care, yo
I'm an easy goin' guy
Especially on the eyes
Steal, cheat, and lie
Til the day I die
That's the life fore me
No land, all sea
Just like me enemy
Who can't catch me
'Cause he's to slow
For this Sparrow
Who's always on the go
Lookin' for the satisfaction
Of gettin' some action
With Bootstrap's kid
And Elizabeth
Don't touch me ship
'Cause I will flip
Give ye the slip
And get upset
Like the lass with the corset
You can bet
I'll be on tap
Back with another rap
Hearin' ya'll clap
But first I'll chill
And take me nap."

Silence.

My jaw dropped. Holy crap...

"Um... ma man, Sparrow!" Val yelled over the microphone.

Suddenly, the room erupted with whoops and cheers. I had been outdone by a pirate. Holy crap.

"Go Sparrow! Go Sparrow! Go Sparrow!"

"Sparrow wins!" Val boomed. "But let's hear it for Ronie one more time!"

The crowd cheered for me, and I raised my arms up. Then I walked up to JAck.

"Great job, Jack," I said.

He turned to me and we exchanged smiles. Val walked up between us swinging and arm over shoulders, and we started laughing about it all.
