Parslow looked over at them, confused. "Boyd? I don't recall having a Boyd on board..." he looked over at whom they were pointing at. "Oh! You mean Bonden? You might have mistaken him for someone else... A cousin, perhaps. You could ask him, he's quite amiable."

Jessica looked over at Parslow. "Bonden? As in Barret Bonden?"

Parslow nodded, a confused look in his eyes. "Aye, Miss."

Barret Bonden, The H.M.S. Surprise... She was right on the brink of knowing where they were. The name Barret had just popped out. She rubbed her forehead. "Where the hell are we?" she muttered angrily.

Ryan rubbed her shoulder. "Hey, don't beat yourself up about this. We'll figure it out."

Jessica nodded, then glanced up at Boyd- er, Bonden. She remembered seeing him in a movie, not the Lord of the Rings, a different one... "What movies has he been in?" Timmy shrugged.

"Beats me. I only pay attention to movies as they happen. I don't think, 'Oh, hey, that guy was in that other movie!'." Everyone else didn't know as well. Parslow moved off for a few moments, speaking to Bonden and motioning to them. Bonden nodded and moved off, hopping over onto the other ship, the Surprise. He soon came back over, and said something to Parslow. He nodded, then walked back over to the group.

"You're to be taken over to the Surprise. And the doctor will take a look at you, Miss..." he looked at Jessica.

"Uh... Jessica... um, Swann. yeah, Jessica Swann." She grinned, hoping that there wasn't any Swanns on board the Surprise.

"Miss Swann. The doctor will look at that head wound, then do some checks on the others." Jessica nodded, breathing a sigh of relief.

"But... It's nothing, really. Just a scratch." She brought her hand up to her forehead, and drew it away. Whoah. "Well... maybe he SHOULD take a look..." Heidi rolled her eyes.

"Well, let's get over, then." Parslow nodded, then started over to the rail of the ship. The others followed, Trevor looking a bit skeptical.

"What, are we going to jump over?" Parslow glanced at him quizically.

"Aye. How else would we do it?"

"Well... a boat, maybe." Parslow laughed.

"It would take much longer to take a boat. And the Captain wishes to see you as soon as possible." Jessica shrugged.

"Well, let's not keep him waiting." Without a single word of instruction, she stepped up onto the railing and nimbly leapt onto the Surprise, then turned and waited for the others to follow. Heidi slowly walked up to the railing and looked over it, down to the water.

"Um, see, I have this thing with heights..." Jessica sighed.

"C'mon, just pretend that it's that High Ropes Course up at Hume. Remember the one part where you had to jump from the tree to the platform?" Heidi nodded numbly.

"Yeah..."

"Just think of it as that. Look, if you don't make it, Ryan or Timmy or Trevor will catch you, right guys?" She looked up at the guys. "RIGHT?"

"Yeah, 'course." Jessica nodded satisfactorily.

"C'mon. It's easy. It you want, I can walk you through it." Heidi nodded, closing her eyes briefly. jessica quickly got the attention of Ryan, and mouthed a few words. he nodded, and got ready. "Okay, just step up to the railing." Heidi got up to the railing, hands gripping it tightly. "Good, now step up onto it, like if it's a balance beam. Like in gymnastics. You were always good at the balance beam, remember?" Heidi nodded, and slowly got up onto the rail, arms outspread. "Alright now, just close you're eyes." Heidi looked at her quizically. "Just do it, k?" Heidi nodded softly, and closed her eyes, wobbling a bit. "Okay, now, take a deep breath and... Throw 'er!" Heidi's eyes popped open, but before she could say anything, Ryan had leapt up onto the railing and thrown her onto the Surprise.

Heidi quickly got up, jaw dropped. "Jess... you... and he... but... Ugh!" She let loose a stream of swear words, the crew of the Surprise looking on, well, surprised. Ryan, Trevor, and Timmy quickly jumped over onto the Surprise, Ryan looking triumphant. Parslow followed soon afterwards, looking a bit surprised at Heidi's language.

"Heidi," Jessie hissed, "Zip it, or..." She couldn't think of a good threat. She couldn't excactly tell her mom, couldn't threaten to tell heidi's crush that she liked him, or anything of real importance. Except... She whispered something into Heidi's ear, and she clammed up, glaring at Jessica.

"You wouldn't." Jess grinned smugly.

"I would. Just, keep your trap shut until we have this figured out, k?" Heidi nodded, and Jessica sighed relievedly, then turned to Parslow. "Uh, ok, so where's this doctor?"

"He'll be with you shortly, Miss." A crew member came up to him, and they exchanged a few words, then Parslow turned back to Jessica. "I regret I have to leave you right now, but the doctor will be here shortly, as I have said before." With that, he raised his knuckle to his forehead in some sort of salute, then turned and dissapeared into a mess or ropes.

"Ok... So now we just wait?" Timmy fidgeted a little. Jessica rolled her eyes.

"Well, yeah. Didn't you hear him? 'The doctor will be here shortly'. dang, I'm gonna have to tell him to stop calling me 'Miss'. Bugs the crap out of me..." Jessica muttered. "Hey, that must be him." A man who looked to be in his late thirties or early forties was heading towards them, looking extremely out of place. It was obvious that he wasn't the fighting kind of person, and not a sailor, as well. When he spotted them, he hurried over. Jessica's eyes grew wide as she recognized who he was. "Holy crap..." she whirled to the others. "Guys, I know where we are!" They immediately looked at her, giving her their full attention. "We're-"

"Ah, you must be Miss Swann," said the man to Jessica. She grimaced at the interruption, and turned, smiling.

"Yeah. But, could you please just call me Jessica? Or Jessie, even. But not Miss Swann. Bugs the hell out of me." She smiled, but the doctor looked a bit astonished at her words. "Oh, um, sorry. Uh... you must be Doctor Stephen Maturin, right?"

He nodded, looking over her wound. "yes. Now, if you could all step down belowdecks with me..." he stepped down a hatch and Jessica, Heidi, Ryan, Trevor, and Timmy quickly followed, not wanting to be left above decks.

"Whoah, it's kinda dark down here," said Jessica. "And small." Even she had to crouch over a little bit, and she was the smallest in the group. Maturin glanced back at her curiously.

"Why, yes, naturally. what would you expect?"

"Um, room, maybe?" She fell silent and glanced around as they came into a slightly bigger area, in which she could stand up straight, but the others still had to crouch down a little.

"Alright, now would you please do me the favor of introducing yourselves?" asked Maturin as he flipped through a medical book.

"I'm Jessica Swann, this-" she pointed to Heidi, and thought quickly, Heidi wasn't a very popular name back in the 1800s, was it? "this is Hannah Swann, my cousin." She pointed to Ryan. Was that a popular name? Better not take chances... "This is Joseph Norrington." She pointed to Trevor. "Uh..." Geez, why did they all have weird names? "This is David Sparrow, and this-" She pointed to timmy. He mentally ran down the list of names left in the movie, and when he came to it, he glared at her as if to say 'oh no you don't', but she merely smirked. "This is Timothy Turner." She hoped Maturin hadn't noticed her pauses as she thought up the names. But he was too immersed in his book to notice.

"I see. And where did you come from?"

"Uh... Port Royal, Jamaica. But we live up in urm, Massachusetts. We were just visiting some friends down in Port Royal."

"Really?" He looked up at her, then looked over each of the others. "And how is that you found yourselves on a french man-of-war bound for the Atlantic?"

"Uh..." she couldn't think of an answer for that. Trevor came to the rescue.

"See, we were going on a boat trip, and we went out of the harbor. We went kinda far, and the, um, frigate? yeah, it came by and picked us up." It seemed plausible. Kind of...

Maturin seemed to buy it. "All right. If you will wait just a moment, I need to go get some utensils..." He walked out of the room, and Jessica heaved a sigh of relief. Timmy was quickly on her, though.

"Timmy Turner?! Are you crazy?"

"Sorry... I didn't think it through when I was giving out the names... Anyways, do you want to know where we are, or not?" He fell silent, but continued to glare at her. "We're, um, well, we're on the H.M.S. Surprise." Silence.

"Well, yeah, we knew that, Jess," said Trevor.

"No! I mean, yeah, but do you know what it's from?"

"Uh... the Napoleonic wars?"

"Kind of... It's from Master and Commander." More silence. "Y'know, the movie? Russell Crowe? Billy Boyd? James D'Arcy?" Heidi laughed.

"You have GOT to be kidding me."

"Not in the least. You just wait. You'll see Crowe and D'arcy, and you'll know I'm right." The guys still seemed to be digesting this information.

"Wait a sec. You're telling me that we're stuck in a movie?" Ryan seemed to think this was not possible.

"Look, I don't know how the hell it's possible, but yeah, we are."

"Oh!" Heidi seemed to remember something. "Yeah! The H.M.S. Surprise, Barret Bonden, Stephen Maturin, 1805... It all fits. You're right..." She closed her eyes, trying to remember something. "The captain's gonna get his orders for the Acheron tomorrow."

"For the what?" Trevor looked confused.

"The Acheron. It's a french privateer. Twice the guns of this ship, twice the men as well." Jessica closed her eyes. "Oh, crap..." Timmy blinked.

"What?" Jessica looked at him.

"The Acheron is going to give this ship a few hard hits. More then a few, actually. More like a million. Maybe we could change it around. Get it done with more quickly." Her eyes lit up, then dimmed. "No, that wouldn't work..."

Timmy rolled his eyes. "Whatever..."
