Last chapter: I'm up for it! Jack thought and smirked. He considered voicing his offer, but remembered Mary Ann's opinion of him (stupid). He didn't want her to think she was worthy of the great Captain Jack Sparrow.
The following day, Mary Ann found herself walking through a garden near the fort with Commodore Norrington.
"Mary Ann, my mother really likes you. She simply couldn't stop asking about you!" The Commodore gushed.
Mary Ann nodded and put on her best Are you aware that you are as stupid as a pile of hamster droppings? smile. Likes me, my ass! She wants to turn me into a fricking FROG! Well, if that doesn't scream I hate you than I don't know what does...
She was shaken out of her silent Caddie-bashing session when she noticed the Commodore looking at her expectantly.
She realized he had asked her a question and she hesitantly replied, "Ah, yes?".
"Wonderful! I'll pick you up at 7 than! My mother will be so happy!" Norrington replied.
Ok, back away slowly! It'll all be ok! Deep breathes. Count to ten. Aw, who am I kidding?! I'm screwed! What in the name of plum pudding did I just agree to? Shit, I'm in deep now! Mary Ann thought.
"Seven o'clock, tonight?" Mary Ann questioned, hoping she could get some answers without having to admit that she wasn't listening.
"We'll just be planning everything tonight. We won't be leaving until about a week of course." He said.
It was about this time, or a millisecond later, that Mary Ann started to loose her calm frame of mind. Leaving?! What?! Who said anything about leaving? Leaving with Norrington's mom? Wait, what? Aw, I should REALLY start paying attention more!
"Of course. Now, if you don't mind, I think I better lie down. I'm feeling a bit faint." Mary Ann said whilst fluttering her eyelashes and putting the back of her hand against her forehead to make the situation appear more dramatic. She smiled weakly and backed up. Once out of the Commodore's line of vision, she ran as fast as her heels could take her back to the Turner household.
"Did Barbossa just expose himself again?" Jimmy the baker asked Tommy the butcher as they watched the Mary Ann race through the streets in terror.
Tommy the butcher just shook his head and said solemnly, "Tha's the third time this week."

Her chest was heaving as she desperately tried to fill her lungs with air (Jack noticed this, and tried as hard as he could to keep dirty thoughts away. Jack: "Hey, 'tis no' my fault! You were th' one who used th' word "chest" an' I can't help it if tha' catches me attention!" MEN! Jack: "Pirate".)
"Norrington's mom gasp taking me on a trip gasp seven o'clock gasp gonna be a frog again gasp YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME!" And with that, Mary Ann's eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she fainted.
Jack saw her go down, and he awkwardly tried to catch her. Unfortunately, he was just a little too late, so he ended up standing up abruptly and looking around, acting casual. After noticing that there was no one around to see his clumsiness, he ducked back down and tried to pick Mary Ann up.
He put an arm under her knees and one under her back and tried standing up. Apparently, she weighed more than she seemed, because he practically steam-rolled her, when he lost his balance.
He tried several more times, but none were more effective as his final plan of action. He ended up putting his hands beneath her armpits (AN: Well, that's special) and began dragging her.
After slaving away for about a half-hour, Jack finally got Mary Ann to her bedroom door. He turned and opened the door and when he turned back around, he found her staring back up at him.
"Jack, what am I doing on the floor?" She asked.
Wha' are ye doin' on the floor?! I'll tell ye what yer doin' on the floor! I went ta all this trouble of draggin' ye up here in efforts ta make ye comfortable an' fer me ta appear chivalrous, an' ye WAKE BEFORE I EVEN GET THERE! I was a measly ten feet from yer bed an' ye WAKE UP?! This is NOT how it was supposed ta happen! Ye were supposed ta wake up all warm an' comfortable in yer bed an' ye were supposed ta thank me endlessly and as a reward fer my efforts, I was supposed ta be able ta shag ye senseless. But THIS IS WHA' I GET?! Jack mentally screamed.
"What are ye doin' on the floor, love? You've gone loony if ye ask me." Jack replied calmly.
"Sparrow, I don't think you- OH MY GOD! What the hell am I going to do?! I accidentally agreed to go with the Commodore to plan some crazy trip with his mom!" She said, getting up from the floor.
"How did ye accidentally agree ta somethin'?" Asked Jack.
Mary Ann looked at the ground and sheepishly replied, "Well, I wasn't exactly paying attention and I... well, I..."
"Ye answered withou' thinkin'?" Jack supplied and Mary Ann gave an embarrassed nod, "No worries. I know tha' it's probably hard fer ye ta use tha' brain o' yers. Or at least wha' little o'a brain ye have.'
Mary Ann's jaw dropped, "Excuse me??"
Jack waved his hand nonchalantly and replied, "Yer excused, luv."
She gaped at him even more (if that was possible), "MR. Sparrow! Never in my life have I seen such a display of rudeness! Here I am, in a very unpleasant situation, and all you can do is insult me?!" She got up and shoved him against the wall, "Now, listen here. I have enough problems to begin with, and I do NOT need you to add to the list of them, do I make myself clear?!"
She pointed her finger an inch from his nose and glared at him. After attempting to focus on her finger (but only finding himself cross- eyed), he looked at her and did the first thing that came to his mind.
He leaned toward her and-
There ya go, ladies! I think this chapter is probably my favorite so far, I have no clue why, but I do have one thing to say to y'all. REVIEW!!!
