Later Jessica was laying down in her hammock, swinging to the roll of the ship. "Well, it isn't that bad.. Think of it as we get a really big room."

Heidi snorted. "My real room is bigger then this. And I know I'm going to get sick at least once during this trip.."

"Hey, we only have the rest of today and tomorrow. And we can get off the Surprise and onto land, then figure out how to get home." She closed her eyes. "I just can't figure out how this happened." She popped her eyes open. "Hey... Get the guys in here. We need to compare stories."

"Compare stories"
"Just get off your butt and get out!" Jessica hopped off her hammock herself, seeing that Heidi was nowhere near struggling out of her hammock. She swept aside the curtain that had been hung for their privacy, then started out the doors.

She started up the ladder to the maindeck, ignoring the stares of the crewmembers. "Where are they?" she muttered as she came up, blinking at the bright sunlight. She spotted them on the quarterdeck, standing beside the captain as he was speaking to a bunch of midshipmen. She hurried up the stairs to the quarterdeck, pausing as she listened in on their conversation. Actually, more of a lesson. She already knew that Midshipmen were basically kids who were being trained to be officers, so they were given lessons by whoever was qualified on board a ship. In this case, Captain Jack Aubrey. She hesitated before coming up behind him and murmuring a small "Excuse me." Jack turned and his eyes showed a hint of surprise at seeing her. Maybe he hadn't expected her to actually come up onto the maindecks... anyways... "Um, I was just wondering if I could 'borrow' Norrington, Sparrow, and Turner? Just for an hour or so..."

Jack nodded. "Of course." He turned to the guys who smiled a little, then followed Jessica back down to the Grand Cabin. Once they were past most of the crew, she started to tell them what she was up to. "Alright, I just realized that right before I was, um, transported here, I saw something really weird. And I need to know if you guys did, either." Timmy looked a little uncomfortable, and shifted a bit, but Jessica didn't notice in her need to get to the privacy of the Great Cabin.

She pushed aside the curtain when she had reached the Great cabin, and found Heidi looking out one of the windows. "Okay, let's go and sit on those chairs. there isn't enough room for all of us in our 'room'." She settled into a chair, sighing and closing her eyes. "All right, I just remembered something from when I was back home... We all know that we were together watching the movie, and then went home. I went up into my room to read a book. And in the book," she stopped, biting her lip. "In the book, I saw a ship. A ship that was sailing. I thought I was imagining it, and touched it, but black out and found myself on the frigate." She waited for their comments.

Heidi blinked. "That's so weird! When I went home, I started drawing. Well, when I opened up my sketchbook, there was a ship in it, too. Not one that I've drawn, although it looked like it had been drawn, only it was moving. It was so weird. I tried to erase it, 'cause I didn't want it to be in there; I'm not really fond of seagoing things. And then I found myself on the Peridot."

Ryan smirked and nudged Trevor. "Well, Trevor came over to my place after the movie, and we started playing videogames. I thought that I was going crazy, because I kept seeing a stupid boat on the screen, and cause me to lose. Then Trevor started not doing so well, and he stood up and swiped at the screen. And then we were on the ship." Jessica leaned back, thinking.

"That's strange. We all saw a ship. We all tried to touch it, then found ourselves on the Peridot." She glanced at Timmy. "What's your story."

Timmy shifted a bit, glancing down at his hands. "Um, well, I kinda know why we're here..." He winced at their sudden attention. "See, you know my dad's a scientist, always inventing stuff. Well, he figured out this sort of time-travel thing. You can also go into things, like books and movies. I started fiddling around with it, you know I like to figure stuff out. Well, it asked for names, so I gave all of ours. Then it asked for a time period, and I gave the Napoleonic age." He smiled weakly.

Jessica leapt up. "Are you crazy?! Why did you do that? What were you thinking?!" she sighed, then rubbed her forehead with her hand. "Do you have any idea how we can get back?" she asked quietly.

"Um, well yeah. You use the device to get back to your time period."

"And do you have it?"

"Sort of..."

"What do you mean, 'sort of'?"

"Well..." Timmy hesitated, before bringing out a netal device fro his pocket. "Part of it works, part of it doesn't. I kind of broke the time-travel part when we were fighting on the Peridot."

"WHAT?! How- You- Ugh!" Ryan stepped forward.

"Hey, take it easy, Jess. Timmy can figure it out." He sent a hard look at Timmy. "Right?"

"Right. Of course, I'll need the correct tools. But like I said earlier, part of it still works." He pressed a few buttons, and a small pocketknife appeared in his hand. "See, it can transfer objects between time periods. Except..."

"Except what?"

Timmy bit his lip. "It can only transfer certain things. Like, it can't transfer a car, that's too big. And it can't transfer food, or living beings. But it CAN transfer clothes, instruments, books... things like that."

Jessica digested this information. "What about the stuff you need to rebuild the time-travel part of that? Can it transfer that?"

Timmy thought for a moment. "I think so. See, some stuff you can't transfer, period. Some of the things I need might be in that category..." He glanced at the others. "Uh, but first off. do you guys need anything? Books, players, clothes-"

"Me!" yelled Heidi. "I think I'll go with the clothes. And my MP3 player, if you don't mind. Who knows what you'll do to that thing while your fiddling with it..."

Jessica smirked. "Me too. I'm going to die of no REAL music. I mean, I bet these people haven't even invented the acoustic guitar yet."

Timmy glanced over at her. "Actually, they have an early form of a guitar."

"What, pray tell?"

He smirked. "A mandolin. You know, the medieval strumming instrument..."

Jessica rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but can you play 'dare you to move' on it?"

Heidi sighed loudly. "Come ON, can we just get the stuff? I think I'm already dieing of no real music..."

Ryan smirked. "Oh, who would have known..."

Timmy chuckled, but pressed a few buttons, and some clothes appeared, as well as the two MP3 players. "You guys can figure out who's is who's. And you should know for the clothes." Jessica walked over and picked up one of the players.

"This is mine. It has the scratch on it from my dropping it down the stairs. I killed my brother for scaring me that day." Heidi grinned as she picked up hers.

"And mine in mint condition."

"Except for the fact that anyday now, it's going to blow up from how many songs you have on there," Jessica said.

Heidi rolled her eyes. "And how many songs do you have on YOURS?"

Jessica grinned sheepishly. "Um... Some 8500..."

Heidi laughed triumphantly. "Ah ha! And I only have 7000."

Trevor snorted. "Only? Geez... Well, if you gals don't mind, we'll be heading back up to quarterdeck. Midshipmen lessons. I'll finally know more than my dad on SOMETHING..." The guys headed out, talking with each other and laughing a bit.

Jessica stared after them, shakin her head. "Okay, I'm gonna change... I have blood all over my clothes, not the most attractive thing." Heidi nodded, agreeing.

"Right with ya"
