RETURN TO THE BLACK PEARL

I'm sorry.

I'm really really really really really REALLY sorry.

CAST OF THOUSANDS: What have you done this time?!

ME: Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am unable to post Chapter Five today, even though I promised I would. runs for cover

CAST OF THOUSANDS: What's your excuse THIS time?

ME: It's not an excuse! Okay. So I had Chapter Five pretty much done and everything, even all typed up and ready to send to my beloved beta reader, Crazy Cousin Adam. I was rereading it to check for the most obvious of my errors when it hit me.

I HATED this chapter.

It stunk. It was awful. Everyone was OOC and it was the worst thing I've ever written.

So I trashed it.

Meaning I had to start ALL OVER AGAIN.

But it's okay. I've finished writing most of it and am currently typing up to send to Crazy Cousin Adam. Because I haven't been near a computer for the past four days, due to a last-minute trip to the Georgia National Fair. SEE?!?! Circumstances were beyond my control!!!!!!!

Anyway, I wanted to make sure those of you who bothered to check in would have SOMETHING to read, so I have compiled a list of things you'd never head in POTC for y'all to read. Enjoy. Consider this an interlude.


Interlude

WILL (to JACK): You knew my father.

JACK: No...I am your father.

...

WILL: Oh, look! There's a sword in Jack's chest! He must be dead!

JACK: I'm only mostly dead. If I were completely dead, there'd be only one thing to do.

WILL: What's that?

JACK: Go through my pockets and look for loose change.

...

WILL: Does this hat make me look fat?

...

JACK (to BARBOSSA): What we have here is a failure to communicate.

...

BARBOSSA: I'm here to do two things: kick (beep) and eat apples. And I'm all out of apples.

...

In the Black Pearl:

Ping ping ping

ELIZABETH: What was that?

WILL: Must be Jack's marbles rolling around in the brig.

...

BARBOSSA: We are the pirates who say...Nee!

...

NORRINGTON: Why can't we all just get along?


Again, I apologize. Chapter Five should be up shortly. Like sometime this week.

CAST OF THOUSANDS: But she's not making any promises.

ME: Hush! And since this really isn't a chapter, you don't have to review. But you can if you really want to.
