Chapter Nineteen: Parley

Isla De Muerta-

Megan awoke to find Jack shaking her. As he helped her up, she noticed he was a little more unstable then usual. She saw he was leaning on the oar that Will had abandoned after knocking them out. But jack didn't seem to remember that.

"Come on, love, let's go and find a way out." Jack said.

"If we must." Megan replied. "Let's just hope you don't trip over something." The pirate just glared at her before turning and leading the way.

But, unfortunately for them, they waked into a mob of slightly angry pirates.

"You!" one of them cried. Megan recognized him as Pintel. He looked over at the girl, but he didn't say anything, since he didn't know who she was. He turned his attention back over to Jack and said "You're supposed to be dead!"

"Am I not?" Jack asked, looking himself over.

Megan rolled her eyes. "If you were, would they ask?"

Jack shrugged and continued walking, only to stop and find pistols pointed at his face. He tried to turn around, but the same fate awaited for him there. Megan, since she knew what was going to happen, promptly sat down on the cold, hard ground. The pirates stared at her and she just shrugged.

"Puhluley…puhlulehvoos…parleli.…parsmi….pasley…parsnip…parle…parle…?" Jack struggled, trying to remember the magic word.

"Parley?" Megan offered from her spot on the ground.

"Parley!" Jack agreed gleefully. "That's the one! Parley! Parley!"

Megan raised her hand. "I second that notion."

"Parley!" Pintel cried. "Down to the depth what ever mutton head thought of parley!"

Jack smiled. "That would be the French."

"Inventors of mayonnaise." Megan agreed.

Pintel smiled slightly. "I like mayonnaise!"

The Interceptor-

Alex, Christie, and Elizabeth boarded the ship to the sight of -

"Not more pirates!" the girls groaned in unison.

"Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth." A bearded man said kindly.

Elizabeth cocked her head. "Mr. Gibbs?"

"'Sup, Alex?" a voice asked.

"Hello, Christie!" said another one.

The aforementioned girls looked up to see two girls in dresses squeezing their way out from behind the pirates.

"Jenny?" Alex asked.

"Alexa?" asked Christie.

The girls stood across the deck from each other for a nanosecond, and then ran into each others arms, laughing.

But just then, Will climbed aboard and started to lead Elizabeth away.

"Hey, boy!" Gibbs cried, stopping Will. "Where be Jack?"

Elizabeth turned around. "Jack? Jack Sparrow?"

That caught the other girls attention. "What about Megan, Will?" Alexa asked, worried.

Christie and Alex turned to face her. "Megan went with Jack!" Christie cried. Jenny nodded, and Christie slapped her forehead. "Typical." she mumbled. Alexa nodded.

"So, where are they, Will?" She prompted.

Will sighed and made sure he avoided eye contact with the slightly younger girls.

"They fell behind." he murmured, and led Elizabeth away.

The four girls turned to each other. "Betcha he knocked her out with Jack." Christie muttered. Alexa and Jenny nodded.

"If we get home, remind me to watch this." Alex whispered, feeling thoroughly confused.

Gibbs walked over towards them, so they stopped talking. "Keep to the Code!"

Isla De Muerta-

"How the blazes did you get off that island?" Barbossa questioned Jack, who was still leaning on his oar.

"I helped him!" Megan, who was standing between the two men, said suddenly, smiling.

Barbossa gaped at her. "YOU helped him?" he asked disbelievingly.

Jack rolled his eyes. "NO, she didn't."

Barbossa turned to face Jack. "No?"

Jack shook his head. "No. When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate…" the pirate paused, grinning. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."

Barbossa grinned evilly, and Megan shuddered. 'Creepy grinning should be banned.' she mused.

"Ah, well, I won't be making that mistake again." the cursed captain drawled. He turned to his crew. "Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow?"

"AYE!" the pirated cried.

Barbossa smirked. "Kill him."

"What of the girl?" on of the pirates cried.

Barbossa shrugged. "Ye can kill 'er, too."

Megan and Jack locked eyes for a moment, the girl pleading with the pirate. Jack nodded.

"The girls blood didn't work, did it?" he asked smugly.

Barbossa sighed and turned back to his crew. "Hold yer fire."

Megan smiled sarcastically and pushed Ragetti's pistol away from her face as the other pirates reluctantly lowered theirs.

"You know whose blood we need?" Barbossa asked the pair.

Jack looked over at Megan, and they both smiled at the captain. "We know whose blood ye need."
