Last chapter: "I think she was a frog mate." Jack said nonchalantly and followed them inside.
"I'm Elizabeth Turner, these are my children Claire and Peter, my husband Will, and that gentleman that saved you is Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl." Elizabeth said as various foods were placed in front of Mary Ann.
"It's nice to meet you all!" She said and dug in to the food.
"So, Mary Ann... I hope you don't mind me asking, but where... how did you get here? I'm still a bit perplexed." Elizabeth asked politely, trying to ignore the way Mary Ann was shoveling food into her mouth completely excluding the silverware.
"It's actually a rather long story." Mary Ann replied.
"We've got time, sweetie." Jack said, resting his feet on the table, ignoring Elizabeth's stern look.
Mary Ann looked up abruptly and dropped the chicken leg she was gnawing on. "Fine. This isn't my favorite subject to talk about, but I suppose you all have a right to know. A long time ago... it must've been about 150 years ago, my father, the king of (insert kingdom here, I need some suggestions on a kingdom name), wanted me to get married. I was his only child and he tried his hardest to find the perfect husband for me, regardless of weather or not I liked him. He finally decided on a perfectly horrible man who was about three times my age. I of course refused, but he didn't listen, so I resorted to acting rude, obnoxious, and unladylike in hopes that my future husband would lose interest. Unfortunately, he persisted because all he cared about was that he could someday have access to the throne.
"My father was sick of my behavior, so he consulted a woman named Caddie who was scary beyond all reason and claimed to have magic powers. My father still cared about me, so he decided not to kill me, but to curse me and in return for caddie's help, she too would have a fair share of ruling the kingdom. They decided to turn me into a frog, which is a little cliché if you ask me. My father still pitied me, so he decided to make the curse break when someone kissed me. I've waited SO long, and no one was ever stupid enough to kiss me, before you, Captain Sparrow."
Jack frowned. Was she implying that he was stupid? Well, no, she was outright saying he was stupid, but he calmed his nerves and appeared as calm as he ever had been on the outside. She's lucky that she's pretty or I'd be on her like white on rice.
"Well, you all were oddly accepting of that tale. I felt for sure that I'd be thrown out on my butt in a matter of minutes." Mary Ann said, curiously looking at the three who were giving each other nervous glances. All of them remembering their encounter with Barbossa 7 years previous. They just shrugged and an awkward silance ensued.
After they had finished eating, Elizabeth asked "So, I'm assuming that you don't have anywhere to stay..."
Mary Ann paused and looked thoughtful for a moment "Yeah, I guess you're right. I didn't even think of that. I was so happy that I didn't have to eat insects anymore, that it kind of slipped my mind. I'm sure I could find someplace though-"Mary Ann said, but Elizabeth cut her off and said, "But you can stay here! Don't worry at all. I insist! We'll talk to my father tomorrow and see where we'll go from there."
"Wow. That's really nice of you. You know, I wouldn't want to intrude- "
"No, we'd be happy to have you stay with us." Will insisted.
"Alrighty then. Thanx bunches." She said and Elizabeth led her upstairs to one of their spare bedrooms.
"So, you're jus' gonna let 'er stay 'ere?" Jack asked Will once they were out of earshot.
"If I said no, Elizabeth would have exploded. The kids are driving her crazy and she doesn't have many women her age to talk to. This will be a real treat for her." Will replied.
"So she'll spen' the res' of 'er life with you guys?" Jack asked and Will looked shocked.
"I hope not! We don't even know her!"
"Well than, were do ye propose she go?" Jack asked and Will got a sly grin on his face.
"Hey, Jack. You said so yourself that you needed some new crew members."
"No, no! You're daft boy! I know wha' yer getting' at an' there's no way the lass is comin' with me!"
"Oh, come on, Jack-"
"Tha's CAPTAIN ta ye, boy!"
Will could see he was getting nowhere, so he changed his approach, "She is rather pretty, don't you think?"
"Ooooh, I'm tellin' Elizabeth!" Jack snickered.
"NO! I meant for you. I think she likes you." Will respond quickly.
"Is yer memory failin' ye, boy? She called me stupid!" Jack practically yelled.
"C'mon, CAPTAIN. I bet it's all a cover up. She's probably just too shy to admit her feelings."
"FEELINGS?! I 'AVEN'T EVEN KNOWN 'ER FER 24 HOURS YET!" Jack shouted and stormed out the door and into the Turner's backyard/garden.
What the hell is that Turner boy thinking? There's no reason to have her on me ship, even if she is quite pretty. Well, I guess there's one reason, but still. Why should I hafta babysit her? She can't even weild a sword! But than another voice in his mind spoke up. But you don't know that! She could be a very skilled swordsman! FINE! I'LL GIVE 'ER A TRY, BUT IF SHE MAKES ONE LIL MISTAKE, I'M DROPPIN' HER AND HER SORRY ASS AT THE NEXT PORT!! Oy, why am I talking to meself??
Jack slowly made his way back inside the Turner's house, but quickly hid in a bush when he heard a very unwelcoming voice.
Okay, there ya go. How was it? I know it was a lil boring, but I had to explain some stuff, so go REVIEW now!!!!!
I love you all!
