Well here is the new bit of story! Enjoy and please R&R!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, neither Elizabeth, nor I, own the rights to Pirates of the Caribbean so we have no right to claim other characters as our own (except Beth and Meg, of course...Through we did come up with the names for CD and Greg (also known as Grapple) ...late night in Houston...LOL). The Pirate King and Pirate Prince will forever belong to Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
"I wish we could go back," Meg said.
"I know," replied Beth.
They then both accidentally hit their signs and were back in the pirate world...
Except they where back in time in the story! The battle between the Interceptor and the Black Pearl had just ended and everyone had been taken captive. Meg and Beth looked at each other in disbelief but played along...
When everyone was on board the Black Pearl, Koehler and Twigg lit the gunpowder in the magazine (a.k.a. the place where they keep the gun power and ammo). Once they were back aboard, the Interceptor went…BOOM!
("Greeeeeeeeen!"
"Abandon Ship!"
"An Elf, a Man, and a Gimli!"
"Greeeeeeeeeen!")
Elizabeth ran up to Barbossa and called him a mur-her. Jack put his arm around Beth. Meg and Beth both looked at each other and then at Jack's hand on Beth's shoulder. Meg shoved it off and Jack gave her a quizzical glance. Meg gave a guilty look and then looked at the floor. Then Will came over the side of the deck as Elizabeth began screeching about being left with the pirates.
("She sounds exactly like the monkey…")
"Barbossa!"
Every one turned toward the voice. Will hopped onto the deck and grabbed a pistol.
"She goes free!"
"You've only got one shot and we can't die,"
Will glanced at Jack.
"Don't do anything stupid," he whispered.
"You can't…I can," Will said without realizing that it was extremely stupid.
"Like that…" said Jack in a low voice.
"Who are you?" asked Barbossa, looking at Will pointing the gun at himself.
"No one!" said Jack running in front of Barbossa. "He's no one! Distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice though. Eunuch."
"My name is Will Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner!" Jack dropped his head and walked back over to the girls. "His blood flows in my veins!"
"It's a spittin' image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us!" exclaimed Ragetti.
"On my word, do as I say! Or I'll pull this trigger! And be lost to Davy Jones' locker!"
"Name your terms Mister Turner…" said Barbossa patiently and calmly.
"Elizabeth goes free!"
"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?"
Jack motion with his hands in odd ways to get Will to notice him. Will looked at Jack and waved the gun a few times.
"And the crew! The crew are not to be harmed!"
Jack slowed his motions in frustration and disappointment.
"Agreed." Stated Barbossa with a grin.
Beth then leaned over to Meg and began whispering.
"Do think the story will end the same way as last time?"
"I'm not sure," replied Meg as she glanced at Barbossa and saw him walking towards them. The two girls looked at each other and for a moment, scared of what might happen. As Barbossa reached them, Meg said quietly to Beth without looking at her, "It'll be ok, Beth, I hope." There was a silence about the ship as Barbossa stood in front of Meg and Beth.
"Beth," He said as turned and looked at her. "Would that name be short for…Elizabeth?" Beth's eyes grew as big as marbles and she guessed what his plan was. Jack and Meg looked at each other and racked their brains for a different name, but it was too late.
"Wait! No! Her name is…is…Beth…any!" Meg tried. Jack shook his head.
"It's no use, love."
Barbossa laughed sinisterly and snapped his fingers. Two pirates, CD and Greg came over to Beth, cut her bonds, and picked her up.
"No, please, you've got the wrong girl!" Beth screamed in agony as her captors carried her to the plank. Beth pointed at Elizabeth whilst in the air.
"It's her! It's her! Take her!"
Beth stared back at her best friend and cried out, "Meg!" Meg lurched forward, but realized that she could do nothing. Jack put his arm around her and she buried her face in his shoulder. This was a twist in the story she had not been expecting, and she didn't know what was going to happen. Still with her head on Jack's shoulder, she started to cry, and Jack looked down at her and smiled. Once near the plank, CD and Greg threw Beth onto it.
"Ow!" Beth gasped in pain. She could hear Will's voice shouting, "No! Stop it, leave her alone!"
Beth stood up and rubbed her shoulder and then looked sadly at Will. She tried to stifle a laugh when he yelled, "Barbossa you lying Mur-her," (But she realized this was not the time for laughing.) you swore she'd go free!"
Barbossa turned to him angrily and with a drop of sarcasm said, "Do not impugn me honor, boy! I agreed that Elizabeth go free, but it was you who failed to specify which one, when, or where." All of the pirates laughed as they gagged Will and Barbossa drew his sword to make Beth walk the plank. She kept tip-toeing backwards as Barbossa's sword came closer saying, "Pokey…pokey…very pokey sword!" Finally, she was on the very edge and realized that if she had to die, she might as well do it stylishly. So, when Beth saw no possible way of escape, she turned around and did a fabulous swan dive into the abyss below. Meg was still crying, but this cheered her up a bit…until Jack was dragged away.
"Not again!" she murmured as Jack stood on the plank.
"I really hoped we were past all this." He said to Barbossa.
"Jack, Jack," said Barbossa in a friendly tone. "Did you not notice, that be the same little island that we made you governor of on our last little trip?" Jack turned to look at the island then swung his head back to glance at Barbossa and said sheepishly, "I did notice." It was at this time that what was left of the Interceptor's crew, including Meg, were dragged below.
"This is going to interesting," Meg thought to herself. She sighed. "Beth gets to be stuck on an island with JACK for…who knows how long! Lucky…sort of." And with that, she was shoved into a cell with Elizabeth, and the unknown adventure began.
