Elizabeth waves a hand in front of Squirrel's face. Squirrel's dopey expression doesn't change, and she continues to stare off into space.
"Miss Grey?" She asks gently. "Squirrel, can you hear me?"
Will frowns slightly. "Is she alright?"
"I'm not sure." Elizabeth says, her expression matching Will's. She leans closer and shakes Squirrel gently by the shoulders. "Squirrel? Are you alright? How do you feel?"
"Dizzy." The girl says dreamily, aware of only the memory of Jack. Holding her close, holding her tightly, his lips and hers. "Dizzy." This euphoric fog, this whirlwind of happiness… Squirrel wishes it would never go away. Every fibre of her being yearns for Jack to hold her again, to kiss her again, to tell her he loved her again…
Will raises an eyebrow. Elizabeth rolls her eyes. Squirrel seems to stir from her half-sleep. She looks around. She's in a carriage. Probably the wedding carriage.
"Where's Jack?" She asks. Will and Elizabeth exchange glances.
"Norrington took Jack to jail." Will says wearily. "And we're dropping you at the docks."
Squirrel's dopey smile doesn't fade. "Ok." The words seem to sink in, and the smile fades slightly. "In jail? Why?"
"Firstly," Elizabeth says, "He 'kidnapped' you, secondly, because he was caught." The governor's daughter frowns. "You mean you don't remember?"
Squirrel smiles off in space again. "Dizzy." Will and Elizabeth exchange glances once more.
Anamaria is waiting at the docks with a rowboat.
"Mister Cotton told me I should be here." The black woman says with a knowing smile. "Thanks for dropping Squirrel off."
"No problem." Will says, helping Squirrel into the boat.
Ana grins. "You two enjoy yourselves. Congratulations, by the way."
Will nods and smiles in return. "Thanks." He climbs back into the carriage. Ana watches as it makes its way back into the city. She smiles.
Squirrel sits up and looks around. "Where's Jack?"
Ana rolls her eyes. "What's with you, Squirrel? Have you been drugged or something?" Ana double takes at the expression on Squirrel's face.
"Dizzy." Squirrel smiles into nothingness. Ana smothers laughter.
A flurry of blue and yellow feathers heralds the arrival of Mister Cotton's parrot. The bird sits on the end of the boat and preens itself.
"What are you doing here?" Ana barks at it. "I thought you were supposed to be looking for Jack!"
"Jack can take care of himself!" Jack leaps into the rowboat, causing it to tilt to one side. He flashes a grin at Anamaria. "Thanks for dropping by. We were wondering how we'd get out of here."
"Weren't you in the slammer?" Ana asks, smirking as she picks up an oar. Jack waggles his eyebrows.
"Was." He says, picking up the other oar. "But getting out of prison's all a matter of leverage." He looks over at Squirrel and grins. "How do you feel, luv?"
Squirrel aims her dopey smile in Jack's direction. "Dizzy."
Jack nods with a grin. "I kinda figured that."
Ana snorts with laughter. Mister Cotton's parrot squawks softly along with her.
