OMG! I can't believe how long this took me to write! Sorry for the wait, guys! Major writers block! ;

Anyway, this chapter has lotsa fun… and something that the fan girls might like… muahahahaha!

R&R peoples!

Chapter 14: A rudies' life for me!

"You sure this is where the rum is?"

"Yeah! 'Course I'm sure!"

Yoyo and Rhyth had clambered inland and they were now in search of the rum stash.

"Three paces from the hollow tree, remember?" Rhyth nodded.

"Yeah… but which one's the hollow tree?"

"Hmm… let's find out, shall we?"

Grinning, Yoyo walked over to the nearest tree. Pressing his ear against the bark, he rapped on it lightly with his fist.

"Aha! Found it!" He exclaimed. "And the first try too, yo!" Turning to face the clearing, he took three long paces. Once he stopped, he jumped on the ground, which, to his surprise, bent under his weight.

"Eureka!" Yoyo cried, his fist shooting into the air. Rhyth came up beside Yoyo, crouching down and brushing away the dirt.

"Yoyo… what does 'Eureka' mean anyway?" Rhyth asked.

"Dunno." He replied. "My mom always told me that it was what some scientist said when he realized something that had to do with the displacement of water and it's relativity to volume… but I just say it to sound smart." Rhyth giggled at his statement.

"You think there's rum down there?" The blue-haired girl asked, watching as Yoyo searched for the handle.

"'Course I do!" He laughed, grabbing the latch and lifting the trap door up from the ground. The two looked down into the cellar, their eyes widening in shock at the sight before them. Instead of the musty, old rum on the shelves, the walls were lined with spray cans and bottles of Soda.

"No way, yo!" The green-haired boy exclaimed as he threw the door to the side. "This is the coolest!" Rhyth followed Yoyo in and searched around for anything else.

"We have some candy over here…" Rhyth said, glancing at the pile of candy. "And a box, too…" She added quietly, letting her fingers run over the wood. "What do you think is in here?" She asked. Yoyo shrugged.

"Dunno… just open it." He replied, still preoccupied with all of the junk food. Rhyth nodded and placed her hand on the lid of the box. With one mighty heave, she pushed the lid off, letting loose a cloud of dust. The blue-haired girl coughed and fanned the dust away with her hand. She looked into the box and gasped. Yoyo, who had turned his attention to her, gave her a puzzled look.

"What?" He asked. "What is it?" Rhyth said nothing. Yoyo, overcome with curiosity, looked over her shoulder. His eyes widened at the sight of it, and a grin formed on his features.

"Those aren't… no way…!" Yoyo couldn't believe it. It was too good to be true! Rhyth bent down and picked up a familiar pair of blue blades. They had blue fuzz at the top and spikes at the heels.

"It is…!" Rhyth replied with a grin. Yoyo reached down and lifted his own blades out.

"We're SAVED!" Yoyo cheered, his free fist shooting into the air. "Now when we fight Hayashi, we're gonna kick his ASS!" Rhyth giggled.

"Hooray for us!" She cried, jumping up and down. "This will be the best Pirates of the Caribbean battle EVER!"

"I say we celebrate!" The green-haired boy declared. "Candy, Soda and reckless dancing around a fire for everyone!"

"Even if it's only the two of us?" Rhyth asked with a grin. Yoyo shrugged.

"Ah well… more junk-food for us!"

Snatching a couple of bottles of pop and an armload of candy, Yoyo climbed up the stairs. Rhyth followed with the skates, knowing that they would be put to good use.


"You got a lighter, yo?"

Rhyth nodded and tossed him the small object.

"I found it in that cellar." She explained. Yoyo smiled and pointed the lighter towards the pile of sticks that they had collected. Directly behind it was a freshly shaken can of spray paint.

"Alright!" Yoyo declared to his audience of one. "In one hand I have a lighter! The other, a spray can! With these two objects, I shall create FIRE!" Rhyth frowned.

"Yoyo… you have fire with the lighter." She argued. Yoyo glanced at the lighter, a frown forming on his usually cheerful features.

"Alright then… with these two objects, I shall create… BIGGER FIRE!" Rhyth laughed and took a step back. Yoyo flicked the lighter on.

"Three… two… one… ignition! We have lift-off!" He cried, pushing the trigger to release the paint. There was a giant blast of fire, causing both of them to let out a cry of surprise. The flames spread onto the twigs, creating a nice, cozy bonfire.

"Yoyo…" Rhyth said, sitting near the new source of heat. "Promise me one thing…" Yoyo turned his head in question. "Never… ever… do that again!" Yoyo laughed and cocked his head to the side.

"Aw… don't tell me that Rhyth was scared." He teased, sitting down beside her.

"No…" She replied flatly. "I just don't want to be the only one on this island. I need to at least have somebody to talk to." Yoyo chuckled and wrapped an arm around her.

"I'm not gonna burn myself. Don't worry. Besides, look how much faster it was to light it!" Reaching over, he held out a candy bar to Rhyth. "Kit Kat?" Rhyth laughed and unwrapped the bar, taking a bite.

"So… are we gonna sing the pirate song?" Rhyth asked, grinning. Yoyo shook his head.

"Not until we're sugar high!" He replied happily, taking a swig of soda. Rhyth smiled at his childishness and agreed wholeheartedly.

It didn't take long for the two GG's to become extremely hyper from the sugar and soon, they found themselves dancing around the giant bonfire, singing the pirate songs happily.

"Yo-ho, yo-ho! A pirate's life for me!"

"A pirate's life is a wonderful life! Drink up, me hearties, yo-ho!"

"A rollick and frolic and brollic and fight, drink up, me hearties, yo-ho!"

"Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!"

"We pillage, we plunder, and rifle and loot! Drink up, me hearties, yo-ho!"

"We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot! Drink up, me hearties, yo-ho!"

"Yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate's life for me!"

The two laughed and spun around, eventually falling into the cool sand.

"I love this song, yo-ho!" He said with a grin. Rhyth laughed and took another swig of soda.

"You know… I could stay here forever…" She murmured. "No troubles… no worries… no Hayashi…" She let out a small sigh and rested her head on Yoyo's shoulder.

"But we have no choice…" Yoyo pointed out. "It's who we are… you know that." Rhyth nodded glumly. "Besides! We have to save our crew if we're going to get out of this hell hole!" Rhyth grinned.

"If this is hell… I'd love to see heaven." Yoyo chuckled at her statement.

"Me too, Rhyth…" He sighed, wrapping an arm around her. "Me too…"


Beat watched glumly as the ship sailed away from the island, which was now no more than a speck on the horizon. Squinting, he noticed an orange glow near the shore of the tiny spit of land. Beat smirked.

They were okay… for now.

Turning back around, he glanced at the two men… Pintel and Ragetti, he believed their names were… It didn't really matter. Behind the two men were his friends, who had been caged separately. Corn gave him a questioning look, wondering if Beat and Yoyo were okay. Beat nodded and watched in amusement as Corn let out a small sigh of relief.

"You know this isn't going to work if they die… right?" Corn muttered after the two pirates left.

"Yeah…" He replied, averting his gaze. "Corn… tell me… why are they after me in this book?" The blonde let out a sigh.

"You are supposed to be Will Turner." He replied. "The son of 'Bootstrap Bill' Turner. That medallion that Rhyth gave you… it was given to you by Bootstrap so that the men on the Pearl would never be able to lift the curse."

"Yeah I know that already… but what about the blood?" Beat asked. Corn shrugged.

"Dunno… didn't make much sense to me either." He replied. Beat chuckled at Corn's statement.

"So… how's the book supposed to end?" He asked curiously. Corn laughed.

"Like we're going to tell you!" He teased. The auburn-haired boy growled at his 'friends' for not letting him in on the ending.

"I'm gonna kill you for this later…" He snarled. Corn replied with a lopsided grin.

"Alright, but kill me after we win."


"Yoyo… you're not going to believe this…"

The morning after their little party, the two went back to their stash to see what else they could find. Yoyo turned to see what Rhyth had.

"Whoa! Beat's headphones! No way!" Rhyth smiled.

"Let's see if they work." She said with a grin. Yoyo slipped them over his ears and turned them on.

Yo! This is DJ Pirate K comin' to you live with some good ol' fashioned fun!

People are saying that the Pearl is heading back to Isla de Muerta! Yo! Somebody's gotta stop them man!

"Just like PK…" Yoyo muttered. Rhyth, who had found her own headphones, grinned.

"Too true." She agreed, taking a swig of leftover soda. Yoyo continued searching through the food when something caught his eye.

"No way! THERE'S LIME COKE, YO!" The grinning rudie pulled out a couple bottles of the drink, a grin on his face. "I LOVE this stuff!"

Rhyth watched in amusement as Yoyo started singing the lime coke song (You put the lime in the coke, you nut and drink 'em all up! ).

"Still sugar high, I see?" She teased. Yoyo nodded.

"Hell yeah!" he replied with a grin. "I've had more candy and junk food here than I've ever eaten in a week!"

"You're going to get fat, you idiot!"

"Nuh-uh." Yoyo said, pulling up his shirt to reveal a well-toned stomach. (Yoyo fans drool an ocean! ) "My old teacher always said I have a high metabolism, yo…"

Rhyth laughed at her good friend. "Well, come on! Stock up on junk food and stuff! We need to rescue the gang!" Yoyo shot a scowl in her direction as he pulled his shirt back down (Yoyo fans cry me a river!).

"I know, yo!" he whined. "Now, hold open this bag while I get a bunch of stuff."

Rhyth quickly complied with his orders, holding open the bag as her green-haired friend threw whatever he got his hands on into the sack. He managed to stuff in three pairs of blades, some radio watches, Beat and Rhyth's headphones, Corn's hat (Hey! He needs it!), a bunch of bottles of pop and several chocolate bars. Once the bag was full, the two rudies dragged it up the stairs and closed the trapdoor behind them.

"Do not worry, remaining candy bars and bottles of pop!" Yoyo declared. "For I shall be back and I will take the rest of you away! Or, if I'm hungry, I'll just eat ya."

"Come on, Napoleon!" Rhyth said jokingly as she tugged him away. "Save that speech for someone who can breathe. I can see the ship coming!"

"Huh?" Yoyo looked over at the horizon. Sure enough, white masts towered over the waters.

"How are we gonna get the supplies on, yo?" He asked curiously. We'll never get it back."

"They'll bring it on. Believe me." She replied lazily. "Ugh! They're taking too long!"

"Well then, have a swig." Yoyo said, tossing her one of the bottles of lime cola. "If we're going to wait, we may as well have fun while we're at it."

Rhyth opened the bottle and took a large gulp of the sugary drink. "It's on!"


"Oh! My dearest Elizabeth! I am so glad you are alright!"

As Yoyo and Rhyth boarded the ship, the Commodore and the Governor along with several other soldiers immediately separated them, surrounding one and holding the other back. Yoyo stole several glances at Rhyth, noticing how nervous she was. He knew perfectly well how claustrophobic she was when it came to strangers and the swarming of men she hadn't seen in forever wasn't that comfortable at all.

"Lady Elizabeth…" The commodore faced her, a look which Yoyo could have easily mistaken as parental concern on an up-tight man on his face. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you in any way?" Norrington took this chance to shoot a death glare at the green-haired boy. Rhyth quickly shook her head.

"No! I'm fine!" She urged, taking his arm in means of holding him back. "He's actually been really good to me. Don't hurt him! Please!"

"But, Elizabeth… he's a traitor… along with that insufferable Will-"

"Augh! Will! We have to save him! He's going to be killed by Barbossa's prates!" To her dismay, Norrington did not listen. She grit her teeth together in anger. She had no other choice now…

"Do it for me… as a wedding gift…" It pained her too much to say those words. However, it did catch the attention of the commodore.

"Are you… saying yes to my proposal?" He asked. Rhyth nodded stiffly.

"I am…" She said quietly.

Yoyo could only stare. He had forgotten about this entire scene in the movie. This plan would have to work, not only would Beat's life depend on it, but also Rhyth's future!

Besides, who wants to be married when they're fifteen?

Despite this, Yoyo put on a grin and piped up. "Ooh! Weddings? I LOVE weddings! Drinks 'round for everyone, yo!" All he received were cold glares from the men around him. "Not even some lime coke? Come on!"

"Shut him up." Commodore Norrington snarled. Yoyo was hit on the head… hard.

"Ow! Damn it, that hurt, yo!" He cried. The soldier who had been responsible with his raised his fist once again. "Shutting up."

"If that is what you wish from me…" Norrington said quietly, almost as if he wished for Beat's demise, "…then I shall do what I can."

Rhyth nodded grimly as Norrington shot orders for Yoyo to be taken below deck. Yoyo gave her an apologetic look as he was dragged past her.

Looking out at the sea, she knew that only Yoyo knew where Beat was… and that there was no chance that Norrington would listen to a pirate.

She knew then that they would have to escape.

TBC…

TADAA! Yay! Chapter 14 finally done! Phew! That took a lot out of me!
