Chapter Nine – Never Tell A Lie

Will's POV

" Yes, that would be a grand way to die." Mitch said with a chuckle, helping shove the lifeboat up onto the beach. We all laughed.

" How would you like to be up in heaven and someone asks you how you died, and you answer, 'I died on Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland! How'd you go out?'." Kami said with a snicker, clinging to Ashley's arm and wiping away a tear that had formed from all the laughing she had done. I had no idea what 'Thunder Mountain Railroad' or 'Disneyland' is but it sounded really popular by they way she mentioned it.

" How'd you like to die, Jack?" Lonnie asked wiping the sand from his hands. Jack pondered the question for a minute.

" On me ship, mate. I'd g' down wit' me ship." He answered earnestly, Kami puffed out her bottom lip and frowned.

" So brave!" She said throwing her hand up to her forehead drastically.

" What 'bout you Will?" Gina questioned nudging me on the arm. I paused for a moment.

" I never really took the time to contemplate it, but if I had a choice…. I would have to say I would choose to die in the arms of the one I love." I said proudly, with a smile. The women of the group all gasped and smiled faintly.

" That is so very romantic of you William." Ashley remarked patting my arm sweetly.

" Show off…" Lonnie muttered pulling Dana closer to him. Dana laughed and kissed him on the cheek.

" Don't be jealous just because you didn't come up with it first!" She patted him on the head.

" What about you Kami?" Lonnie asked, changing the subject. She just shrugged.

" I already told you."

" No you didn't, you just remarked how cool it would be to tell people you died in Disneyland not that you wanted to die in Disneyland." Mitch corrected earning him a full scowl from Kami.

" I don't know! Do you seriously think I spend my time wondering about how I'm going to die?" She asked sarcastically. Ashley nodded.

" What else do you have to do?" Kami looked over at Gina and rolled her eyes.

" You've had to have thought about it at least once." Kami shrugged, tilting her head to the side so that her black bangs fell into her eyes just right. It's either she has perfected this ritual, or she is just lucky.

" I guess I would like to die in my sleep, no pain included." She said nodding her head.

" Yeah, I wouldn't want to die in pain." Ashley concurred. Every one went silent.

" So what's the plan Stan?" Lonnie asked pulling Dana in front of him and encircling his arms about her middle, holding her close.

" Group meeting." Mitch called beckoning everyone into a circle.

I didn't pay attention to what was going on, my mind was elsewhere. By elsewhere I mean on the skinny brunette standing next to me, twirling her hair about her finger. I never noticed how long it was until she wore it down for the first time. I never noticed a lot of things about how she looked until this afternoon, when I started looking. Still, my mind was revolving around what had happened earlier this afternoon, and I can't get rid of the feeling that I actually liked holding her hand. Not that you can call what I did 'holding' her hand, it was more just lying on top of it. But I still remember how smooth her skin was, and how her hand fit perfectly in mine…

Stop it William Turner! You are not infatuated with the girl! You've only known her for a week!

Yes, but you fell in love with Elizabeth the first time you saw her!

Oh, and look how that turned out!

Kami is clearly not Elizabeth Swann…she's a lot more…

Will you just go away and let me think for myself!

No, because then you won't think rationally.

I can think perfectly by myself, thank you very much!

Ha!

" So, um…Will?" Kami whispered from beside me. I blinked a few times and then looked down into her face. Her bright blue eyes locked on mine and I couldn't bring myself to look away. Her eyes were so beautiful and captivating, the way the setting sun hit them just right… What am I saying? Stop it! I shook my head and turned away.

" I don't know, I'll bet Mitch and Dana want to change out of those clothes…"

" Dana and me need to get out of these clothes." Mitch interjected pointing down to his dripping wet apparel. Kami looked back at me with a smirk.

" What are you psychic?" She asked playfully turning her head away. I didn't realize how short she was, until now. The top of her head barely reaches an inch beneath my shoulder. I noticed that I was staring and looked away quickly, focusing more on the group discussion that was being held.

" I agree with Mitch, I wanna change." Dana remarked hugging closer to Lonnie to keep warm.

" You made the bed, you sleep in it!" she said with a quipping smile. She was teasing, you could tell from the glint in her eyes. They always get brighter when she's laughing or joking around…You're doing it again! Stop!

" You made the bed you sleep in it!" Dana mocked. " That is so cliché." I laughed along with everyone else at their antics.

" It was just a joke, Dana. Who lit your tampon on fire." Kami mumbled crossing her arms over her chest and looking away. I watched in amusement as both of them started to bicker mercilessly.

" SHUT UP!" Gina yelled at the top of her lungs and stamped her foot in the sand. Everything went silent and all of us turned to Gina with looks of surprise written all across our faces. She took a deep breath and calmed herself.

" Let's just go buy some clothes, and then go find a place to have dinner for Kamilia's birthday!" My ears perked up. It's Kami's birthday? Why wasn't I told?

" It's your birthday Kami?" I asked, completely baffled. She nodded and stood up a bit straighter with a smile on her face.

" I'm officially Eighteen and legal to tend for myself." She sent a glare at Lonnie and then smiled back at me. I snickered.

" Happy birthday, then." She smiled up at me, a full smile teeth n' all with her eyes twinkling.

" Thanks much. Now, where are we going?" She asked Jack, with a devilish grin on her face.

" W'll, some o' us 'aven't gott'n ya a gif' yet…S' we 'r gonna g' inta town an' th'n we ar' goin' ta spli' inta two groups. One o' 'em is gonna ta'e dear Kami n' distrac' 'er." He said with a smirk, his gold teeth glinting in the sun. I rolled my eyes.

" It's not that big of deal-"

" Yeah right. Now, who is going to be in what groups?" Ashley asked pulling her hair back and putting it in a ponytail. Everyone quieted and looked around impishly.

" Well the first group has to have someone who knows their way around the town, so Jack and Will are going to have to split up." Dana's voice came muffled from Lonnie's shoulder. I nodded.

" Let's 'ave me, Lonnie, Mitch, n' Dana g' first. S' we can ge' clothes n' ther' presents a' the same time." Jack threw in expertly. I nodded, agreeing with Jack.

" Okay, so I'll take Kami, Ashley, and Gina?" I said, just to make sure. Jack nodded and then clasped his hands together.

" Let's get t' it!"

" Alright, we'll wait here. Be quick." I said eyeing Jack warily and Jack nodded.

In town an hour and a half later...

They had finished picking out clothes, and now they had met up again. Lonnie and Jack went off and made the arrangements for Kami's birthday present while Mitch and Dana bought new clothes and changed quickly. Now it had been a while and were waiting for Lonnie and Jack to get back so they could go get everyone.

When Lonnie and Jack walked through the door Dana was immediately on their cases.

" So did you get it?" she asked excitedly, stepping through the door of the inn. Lonnie and Jack nodded.

" Yeah, she's gonna love it. It's black and everything." Lonnie said smiling. Dana smiled and reached up on her toes and gave Lonnie a quick kiss.

" Thank you Jack. It will mean a lot to her, we will pay you back." Dana said turning to him, who was walking along quietly lost in his thoughts. He shook out of it and looked over at them.

" Won' be necessary, luv." He said with a smile. She's me daugh'er af'er all...

" I had it taken to the restaurant and put in the back room ." They all nodded giddily.

" Good, everything set then. Now all we have to do is get her there without ruining the surprise."

MEANWHILEAT THE 'FAITHFULL BRIDE'…

" Listen up, mates." Dallas said taking a swig of his rum and shoving it down on the table and licking his lips.

" Thar' be this treasure tha' I know of…" The three dirty men seated around the table raised their eyebrows inquisitively. Dallas nodded with a smirk, showing off his yellow teeth with the occasional one missing.

" Aye? Wha' kind o' treasure?" A man with short dirty blonde hair inquired, brining a cigar to his lips and taking in a breath.

" It invol'es a lass." Their smiles widened, an evil glint appearing in their eyes.

" No' jus' any lass, mates. The daugh'er o' the famous Cap'n Jack Sparrow…n' I plan t' kidnap 'er an' ta'e 'er fer ransom. Ye wit' me?"

" AYE!"

Kami's POV

" I'm bored." Gina whined, slumping down in the sand. I sighed, resting my chin on my knees and looking at the sun setting over the ocean. Beautiful colors of purple, orange, and pink splashed across the sky and the ocean glittered beneath it. It's breath taking.

" Let's play mash!" Gina squealed and clasped her hands together. I rolled my eyes.

" With what?" I questioned looking around and gesturing to where we were. Her shoulders fell and she lowered her gaze to the sand. That didn't stop her, no way.

" Let's sing a song! Kami, you first!"

" Me first what?" Gina rolled her eyes.

" Start the sing along." I shook my head tentatively.

" Come on, you know the best songs!" I laughed.

" Sure I do. Where's Jack when you need him?"

" Come on, please?" She asked pouting and batting her eyelashes. I shoved her shoulder.

" I'm not Mitch that won't work on me." Gina laughed.

" Fine then! 'Barges'." She said straightening up and pulling her hair out of her face.

" We need an alto, Ash n' me are seconds." I noted.

" So, we can do it!" Ash came and sat down next to me, placing her arm over my shoulder.

" Yeah! I can do the alto! I've done it before." I turned my head to Ashley, my eyes wide open and indicating towards Will sitting a few feet away. Ashley laughed and then nodded to Gina.

" Let's just sing 'Never Tell A Lie'." I suggested

" Fine,'Never Tell A Lie'it is. Who's starting?"

" You guys sing a lot don't you?" Piped up Will from behind us. Simultaneously we all turned and looked at him and then nodded.

" Yup! We grew up around music, hard to break habit ya know." He laughed and nodded, jabbing the end of a stick into the sand. Than we broke out into song and laughter.

We made the big finish.

" I have a feeling I know how she died." Ashely added at the end and I fell over laughing.

" We all do Brian!" Gina said imitating Brian Reagan. I laughed so hard, we are always quoting Brian Reagan, he's the best!

" Where on earth did you hear that song?" Will asked flabbergasted, with his stick held tight in his hands. I shrugged.

" I have no idea, we just sing it all the time when we go camping."

" Yeah, and it just sounded like fun." Gina nodded through her hysteria, she was red in the face and bent over laughing so hard she was crying.

" Are you okay?" She asked with a chuckle as she patted her back.

" Yeah (gasp) just remember (gasp) that one time (gasp) that we sang (gasp) that (gasp) song to (gasp) Mitch's parents (gasp) Oh, the looks on their faces!" she managed to spit out before doubling over in laughter once again. Will looked over at her with his eyebrows raised and a confused look on his face.

" We sang that song to Mitch's parents for fun…well the gist of it is they didn't like it to much." I filled him in with a smile on my face. It was truly one of those moments where you just wish you had a camera.

" 'Bout bloody time they came back!" Will exclaimed standing up and dusting the sand away. I looked over to see Lonnie, Jack, Dana, and Mitch walking down the beach in our direction.

I don't know who owns that song! But me and my sisters sing it all the time around the campfire at Lake Powell, it's a blast!

Have any of you guys listened too or seen Brian Reagan? He's a hoot you should check him out :-)

PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! Thank you!
