Here's the second chapter that I promised!!
Splashey: I know, I HATE that time of month, and if you send me a nasty e-mail complaining about how I portrayed ya, I'll blame it on PMS, LOL. Speaking of that, am I doing ok? If you don't like it, let me know, k? Oh yeah, and.... You nail on the head about Norrington. I feel a little sorry for him though... oh well, I'll think about it when I start to care, LOL.
Dimonah Tralon: Thanx! I'm SO happy that you like Jack's reaction. I had many different ways to go with and I'm happy that I chose the right one. He's such a hard guy to portray, ya know. He's not just one certain thing, he's a mix. Woah... I'm SO sorry, that made no sense what so ever, LOL.
Evil Duckie of the BlackLagoon: Thanx a ton! I'm glad you liked it and thought it was funny. That was a blast to write, and thanx to your help and ideas, I've got some new reviewers!! YAY! You go girl!
XxXthesicknessXxX: YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! You thought the chapter and the scene separators were hilarious?! That makes me feel really really good!! Thank You!!! Oh yeah, and about the Pop Radio thing, I looked all over for a website with a pic of it and I didn't have much luck, but the company that makes it is called 'Sound Bites' I think so you could try it.
SpAnIsH-EyEs2: Thanx so much! I'm so glad you thought it was funny! I was afraid that people would be complaining! I hope you like the rest of it as much too!
Arsinoe Selene: Thanx! I thought it would be rather amusing to see Will explain womanly things, LOL. I would pay to see that, LOL! I hope I don't let ya down on this chapter now!
Last chapter: "ASSHOLE!" She shouted and threw an apple through his window.
The next morning, Mary Ann had cooled down considerably and was cringing at every single thing that happened the day before. They set off on the hour long hike to get to Half Moon Bay beach, Will and Tiffany in the front, chatting away, merrily, with Jack and Mary Ann bringing up the rear, in an awkward silence.
Mary Ann was having some very harsh conversations with herself in her mind. This is SO embarrassing! I bet he completely hates me know! Aw, crap. This is NOT good! NOT GOOD! Of all people that had to see that, HE was! I think I'll have to say that is the most embarrassing that's ever happened! AND WILL EXPLAINED IT?! I should start a list. My Top Ten Most Embarrassing Moments. Greeeeeeeaaaat. I hope I don't get eight more to add to that!
On the other hand, the only thing that was running through Jack's head was SAY SOMETHING, DAMN IT!!
Finally, after their hike through the lush forest, they came to a gorgeous clearing exposing fine, soft sand and clear turquoise water.
"Ok, one down, now all we have to do is find that freaking hollow Tamarind tree." Tiffany said.
"Aw, please, can we take a break! I'm so thirsty!" Will pleaded.
"Oh no. I knew there was something that I had forgotten!" Mary Ann mumbled.
"What?! What did you forget?" Tiffany asked.
"Well, I'm terribly sorry, but I don't have the water flasks." Mary Ann said, looking at the ground.
"NO! Don' tell me we 'ave to go all th' way back through tha' again!" Jack said angrily.
"Wait, I've got an idea that could kill two birds with one stone. Come on, let's find that Tamarind tree!" Tiffany said.
"But, what about the break?" Mary Ann asked.
"Hold on, there's got to be some of those trees somewhere around here. Just trust me, ok?" Tiffany said and they began to move into the trees again.
After another 17 minutes and 36 seconds (Jack counted as an attempt to rid him of his boredom) of complaining, they found an area with about 10 Tamarind trees scattered around, and more off in the distance.
"We drink the juice from the Tamarind fruit! Let's find the hollow one and than we can have a break and figure out what to do." Tiffany explained (smart girl!)
So, Jack's idea, was to begin knocking on each tree to find the hollow one. After another five minutes, Jack proudly stated that he'd found it, so they picked off the fruit and began to come up with ideas about what they had to do.
After they'd drained eight fruits and quenched their thirst, they got quite an unpleasant surprise. Caddy emerged from the trees looking quite smug.
"I never knew anyone could be so dimwitted!" She exclaimed gleefully.
"Wha' do ya mean, woman?! We foun' th' tree! We win!" Jack argued.
Caddy shook her head and said, "Your first test is to find the cave in the coastline of Hell's Gate in Guadelupe. That is, if you want the antidote..."
"Antidote?" Mary Ann questioned, her heart sinking.
Caddy cackled and exclaimed "That is why you are all so dimwitted! You drank the juice from those fruits without question! I have power, you know that, and in 72 hours if you haven't found the antidote in that cave, you're toast!"
"WHAT?!" Will yelled.
"Yes, dear. Don't worry. In just a few hours, you'll start to feel it." She cackled once again and disappeared back into the woods.
"NO! Caddy! Get back 'ere! Ye can' do this! Ye... AUGH!" Jack yelled and kicked the sand.
"Relax, Jack.. She's a bitch, but we have to get back to the ship. We can't waste any time." Tiffany said.
Jack got up and mumbled, "fine, lead th' way."
Will and Tiffany took the lead again, but didn't talk as much this time. Everyone was busy trying not to picture what was going on in their stomach at that moment.
Will and Tiffany quickened their pace, but Mary Ann and Jack made a silent agreement to fall behind. Mary Ann finally worked up the courage to say something to Jack and she stopped in her tracks and grabbed Jack's arm, "Jack. Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday. It was childish. But, you were being childish too and... well...I... didn't mean to throw that apple through your window."
Jack snorted so she quickly back-pedaled, "Ok, I did, but I was frustrated."
"Understood, luv." He said, although he still looked a bit awkward, "Once, I threw a table through a window in a bar. Th' apple was nothin'."
She smiled, but it quickly faded when she looked around and whispered, "Jack, where are Tiffany and Will?"
Jack ran ahead and called to them, but was only met with silance, so he made his way back.
"I've come ta a conclusion, luv. We're los'." Jack said.
Not so much humor in this chapter, but I've got a surprise for ya in the next chapter, so stay tuned in, k? AND REVIEW!!!!
