DISCLAIMER: I don't own PotC, as I hope you all have figured out. I do own all five of the girls, and the ideas, plots, etc that are included in their next adventure(s). Just to give you an insight, the next Freaky Five Adventure is gonna be in Middle Earth. So be prepared! And I do own Middle Earth! Because Tolkien died and made me queen. Okay, I'm kidding. Seriously. I don't want any lawyers after me. shudders Scary thought.

Chapter Twenty (wow!): Megan's Plan

The Interceptor -

"So, does anyone think they can predict what Meg's gonna do?" Christie asked as the girls watched Will and Elizabeth go below deck.

Jenny's eyes lit up at this question. "I think I've got an idea." she whispered. "Follow me." and she spun on her heel and led the way to her, Alexa, and Megan's cabins.

"Jack made sure we each had our own cabin, but there were too many crew members, so Alexa and I had to share one." Jenny explained as they made their way down the cramped hall.

"What about Megan?" Alex asked. Alexa just rolled her eyes.

"She got to keep the third biggest cabin to herself, since Jack got the Captain's cabin, and Anamaria got the second biggest." she informed her friends.

"So, are we going to Megan's cabin, then?" Alex asked. Jenny nodded.

"Why did Jack let Megan keep a cabin?" Christie asked.

At this, Jenny and Alexa locked eyes, and then giggled.

"What?" Christie and Alex asked in unison.

"We think Jack has taken a liking to Megan." Alexa explained.

"What do you mean?" Christie asked, fearing a Mary Sue.

"We mean an older brother kinda liking." Jenny elaborated. "After all, she is the only 'pirate' out of the five of us."

The group stopped in front of a door. Jenny, since she was in the front, pushed it open.

The cabin contained a bed - which was hastily made - with pillows thrown upon the floor. There was a window on one of the walls, in which sunlight streamed through. Underneath was a small desk and chair, and next to that was a small set of drawers, presumably used as a dresser.

"Hm," Jenny said. "Nice. Sorta cosy."

Alex looked over at her friend. "You've never been in here?"

Alexa shook her head. "Of course not! None of us have been into the others room."

Christie plopped herself down onto the bed and laid back. "Comfy!" Alex rolled her eyes, but joined her friend on the bed. Alexa eyed her friends on the bed, but pulled the desk chair out into the middle of the floor and promptly sat down.

But Jenny just started looking around the room for something- searching under the pillows, under the bed, and in the drawers. When she finished searching the dresser, she threw up her hands in disgust. "Nothing!" she cried. "Nothing at all!"

Alexa rolled her eyes. "What are you looking for, Jenny?" she asked, hoping to be of some help.

"Megan's script." The girl replied, straightening out her dress.

"Did you check her bookbag?" Christie offered, pointing to a dark shape under the desk.

Jenny shrugged and got on her hands and knees and crawled under the desk. "Aha!" she cried out after a moment. And, sure enough, when she crawled back out, Megan's bookbag was in her hands. She carefully unzipped it and started to pull random things out: pencils, notebooks, stories from different websites, books, etc.

"Is it just me," Alex started to ask, "Or does it feel wrong to be going through Megan's stuff?"

Since Jenny didn't stop in her searching, Alexa answered her friend. "I agree. This is wrong. But Megan's been planning this. She's probably got a plan hidden up her sleeve that's gonna get her in trouble – or worse – killed."

"But if that's true, why do we need her script?" Christie questioned.

"'Cause I saw her writing in it." Jenny replied as she pulled out a green folder. "And here it is!"

"You should put Megan's stuff back in her bag." Alex commented.

Jenny nodded and shoved the pile of belongings into the bag, and slid that underneath the desk where it had been. Then, slowly, she flipped through the pages until she came to one covered in their friend's untidy scribble – some in print, others in cursive – and read it out loud, script and scribble.

"'Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off that island? Say you helped him.'." Jenny looked up at her friends. "So she's gonna tell Barbossa she helped…"

Alexa shrugged. "Not too big a biggie." She mused. "But a biggie all the same." She stuck out her hand. "Jenny, lemmie see the script now." Jenny tossed the folder to Alexa, who picked it up and leafed through it. "Poking…" she muttered. "Poking, poking, poking…" she hissed, flipping through the pages, pausing only to scan.

"Poking?" Christie asked confused. She looked at Jenny and Alex for help, but they just shrugged.

"I found it!...Well, what I think may be it." Alexa said suddenly.

"What did you find?" Jenny asked, walking behind the chair and leaning on it, reading over her friend's shoulder.

"Jack:…I'll shout the name back to you, Savvy?'." She read.

"Okay…" Alex began.

"Wait!" Alexa said quickly. "Let me read what Megan wrote." She hurriedly found her place, and then spoke again. "'After Jack speaks,'" she read. "'Poke Barbossa. Annoy him. Do anything to get that gold!'." Alexa looked up from the script and shared a worried glance with her friends.

"Megan's gonna take it?" Alex and Christie asked in unison.

"Seems that way." Jenny agreed. She turned to Alexa. "When is she going to take it?"

Alexa held up a finger, and she started to flip through the pages again. She stopped and jabbed at the paper. "She's gonna try to swing back over to the interceptor with Jack…" she flipped a bit more. "Then she's gonna convince Will to let her be set free with Elizabeth…"

"She's getting herself marooned!" Christie cried out.

"Yes, and then-" More flipping. "She's gonna…by the looks of things…annoy the hell outta Norrington."

"So she's planning on doing all of these things," Alexa said. "But what about the gold?"

Alexa turned the page. On the back of it was a scribbled message. "GET THE AZTEC GOLD! NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENSES!" Alexa read, even though it was big enough for everyone to see it.

The girls looked at each other, their eyes wide.

"She's gonna get herself immortal, no matter what the costs." Jenny breathed.

"Like I said," Alexa said. "There's as fine line between a hobby and mental illness. Megan has definitely crossed that line."

A/N: Hey there, guys! Long time no write, I know, but tenth grade is a hectic year for me, especially with basketball practice, D.O.E., NJHS, Girl Scouts, Club Beyond, and chores. That's just extra curricular activities! Gah! I have an F in Chemistry right now cos the teacher's gone for a whole week and I turned in a whole buncha work while he was gone! bangs head. The same goes for Algebra II, since he's the teacher there as well. Then in Honors Lit, I have 109, so I can live there…and Spanish II I'm pretty sure I'm passing, and Drama I know for a fact I'm passing perfectly fine…I still have to work on my exam project. History I have an A, and P.E. I prolly have a B because of the stupid pacer and bowling scores. grumble it doesn't help that exams are in two weeks! So anybody who wants to be my new best friend and help me understand imaginary numbers, or possibly the mole bridge, or, hey! Even help me out in Spanish with stupid preterite verbs and such. I just don't understand them, and our teacher sucks. In plain language. She's just a stupid monkey brain. She tells us the words…and their forms….and that's it. No studying. No reviewing. No nothing. No wonder I have such horrible test grades in her class….grumble so, I hope to put another chapter up soon, and I updated to Second Generation. But yeah, this is getting to be a really long author's note, so I'll let you lot go…but seriously, if anyone can help me by explaining those things above in common English, then I would be ever grateful!

P.S. REVIEW…

P.S.S. Speaking of reviews, how do you review a review so that person gets your review of a review in their email? Cos I just got one from one of my fave authors (Crimson Starlight. She just put up her sequel to Games of the Gods: Setting the Board, so you all know. Go read it! The Prequel and Sequel. And then go read the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix. And then go read book 1 and 2 of the Inheritance Trilogy. Okay. I'm done now.).

P.S.S. Hey, for anyone interested: Me and my friend Sammie (or Sam, or Samantha, or El Sam-o) are writing a book. We're not finished yet, unfortunetly, but we've only been working on it since May 05. But it's entirely non Fanfiction. It is fantasy, however, with Elves and magic and other stuff. But I found out that we have a lot of plot bunnies to fix, and we (well, I am, at any rate) are looking for any help we can get. If you're interested in helping us, even if it's just with a name….like I need one of those terribly soon, since I just made up a character and forgot about giving her a name…she needs one!...please let me know. Just my random plea for the day! And now I shall say good night, since I desperately need my sleep if I am to get up super early tomorrow to finish my homework. G'night!
