Note: Hey, I'm back! Sorry it's been so long, for anyone who's actually reading my story, ridiculous as it is.
"The Caribbean: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Caribbean boat-thingy, Enterprise, its continuing mission to seek out new life and persecute harmless pirates, to boldly go where no one ha…"
"Aaaaaaaarrrrrgh! Shut up Picard!"
"Sorry Mr. Barbossa. It won't happen again Mr. Barbossa!"
Below deck, Mullroy and Margaret were sitting in a foot of molding water, gazing through a small window at the seagulls beyond.
"Are you alright?" Margaret asked.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You were hit rather hard." Margaret moved closer to examine his head, were a bit of blood had dried.
Suddenly, the shadow of 'the man in black' obstructed their view of the seagulls.
"Hey," cried Margaret. "You've blocked the seagulls. Is it enough that you have imprisoned us in less than livable conditions? In this muck and filth! Nay! NAY I CRY! You have now taken away our only consolation that we may see a world beyond this! That we might reach with our eyes to a place beyond the rainbow were, though in our case they are seagulls, Bluebirds fly! You may take away our homes! You may take away our pride! You may even take our lives!"
"What?" suddenly interjected Mullroy. Margaret continued:
"But you can never take away our FREEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOMM!"
Margaret reached into the dirty water and pulled out a set of bagpipes and played "Scotland the Brave."
Both Barbossa and Mullroy stared at her in complete bewilderment.
"I didn't know you were Scottish." Said Mullroy.
"Neither did I, actually," Margaret replied. "In fact, I have no clue were those bagpipes came from."
"Hmmm," pondered Barbossa. "I'll have to look into that."
"But really!" demanded Margaret. "What do you mean to do to us, you wretched man!"
"Argh! Don't disrespect me, missy! I'm a pirate! And I do pirate-y things! So what say you to that?"
"Aye…" sighed Mullroy.
"No!" shouted Margaret. "Mullroy! You can't let him win! You can't just give your life away because my sister left you! You have so much to offer."
"Hey, you're right!"
"You bet your ass I'm right! In fact, if we ever get out of here, I'm going to finally stand up to my sister, for both of us."
"You would do that?"
"I don't think you realize how important you are to me…"
"If I wanted sentimental hogwash," shouted Barbossa, interjecting, "I would have watched Days of Our Lives…which I don't know about…"
Jean-Luc Picard and another of Barbossa's henchmen pirates appeared. Upon unlocking the brig, they took Mullroy and Margaret roughly by the arms.
"What are you doing?" asked Mullroy.
"Readying the plank!" responded Barbossa.
"But I can't swim!"
