Yet it seemed that someone had plans for us when there came a knock at the door. "Quick hide!" Will said, pointing up at the rafters. Jack and I stared at him as if he was mad.
"Yeah right, you must be daft, in this dress?"
"Fine, hide behind the door then." Will opened the door as me and Jack somehow managed to squeeze in together. Jack was getting visibly uncomfortable, while I, I really didn't mind it too much.
It was Elizabeth. "Will! Thank heavens you're here! Someone has stolen something of mine."
Jack and I pushed the door closed and stepped up behind her. "We meet again me beauty." He said as he back-handed her.
She fell limp into Will's waiting arms. "Great job Jack." I said rolling my eyes, yet trying to keep back a grin of amusement. "What are we going to do with her now?"
His grin faded rapidly. "Good question luv."
I nodded to him knowingly. "Right, now we get to take her with us. Fantastic." I looked at Jack, he was staring at me as if I were crazy, which is true, but anyhow, I told him, "Women are not bad luck Jack. Remember, without me, you wouldn't have your dear medallion, and remember that it's your fault, not mine that Elizabeth is out cold on the floor."
Jack just stared at me, glaring at me, but deep down, he knew that I was right, he had to know.
We started to get ready to go. Elizabeth was put in a large burlap sack with a long piece of cloth gagging her, so that when she came to, she couldn't scream. Jack and I whispered plans to eachother as Jack got ready. I told him that it didn't matter what ship it was, yet it would be a lot faster if we somehow could get on a ship without anyone noticing.
"What about the Dauntless?" Will said, coming up to us. "I don't think anyone is looking after it today, seeing as it is the Commodore's reception today." I could have told Will off for being dumb, there was no way that the fastest ship in the Caribbean will not have at least one guard looking after it."
"Why don't we just see and find out for ourselves?" Jack wondered aloud.
"Sure, let's try it, you're still dressed up as a gentleman, with your clothes in your burlap sack, and I am still dressed up as your fiancé, so I think we'll be fine." I grinned broadly at Jack who half heartedly smiled back, though I'll bet you he enjoyed it when I gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
I smiled and walked out the door, hand in hand with Jack, with Will lugging all of our things including Elizabeth and my SCUBA supplies behind him.
