HELLO!

Sorry, I haven't updated in ages. I've been enjoying my last 2 weeks of freedom –sob- coz school goes back. I'll be in eighth grade, so you can imagine how pumped I am –insert sarcastic comment here-

Anyway, replies:

Ogreatrandom: Hey, good to here from you again! No problem, my computer stuffs up all the time –rolls eyes- and thanks! Yeah, I thought that! But he could have changed in the last twelve years … you never know!

Meofcourse: Hee hee, lucky guess! UR SO LUCKY, I WANT AN IPOD! And thanks 4 ur poem, heres mine:

I think I caught it

Or maybe I already

Had it to start with

I think I'm ready

To back off and

Just write more

It's better then to be beat up by you

But you better pay for

My chapter in reviews!

MeraSparrow: Hey, you can say that as much as you want, I'll lap it up! And I actually at this moment have no idea what's going to happen, I'm just going to make it up as I go along! And you'll have to wait and see… but I defiantly know what Lizzy's going to say! Sabieren! Hee hee, I like that word!

SabierenSabierenSabierenSabierenSabierenSabieren …

TheCoconutKiwi: Hey! Ha ha! Yeah, not really an idividual (damn my parents) but it's really nice down here in both March and April, the hot weather starts to go away. And you better keep thinking…thinking coz (hopefully) you'll never guess! Yeah, you guys get a longer break. Lucky! I think I'll move to America… And high school isn't that different to primary. I like it better, actually. At my school, once you get to year five you go straight up to the high school campus where the 'big kids' are. It's really cool!

Good luck with the test, I'll think of you while I'm at the beach! Kisses

Grateful for Greg: Hey, no problem! Hope you can go back on your home computer soon though, it's a drag being barred from it! Thanks for your review!

Skoolsucks: Yeah, it's better not to have a whole heap of stories going at once. Thanks, hope you keep reading!

Pirate Inxs: That's not a bad idea… maybe Amy and Meg could die then Jack and Elizabeth find out and commit suicide and everyone ends up dead…

-Plotting- nah, I wouldn't do that! Wow, home schooled! I think of the movie Mean Girls when I hear those two words. Are all of your brothers and sisters home schooled? Hope no one died!

Spikes-Black-Goddess: Yes, flashbacks. I don't think anybody in real life has them as often as Meg and Jack, but oh well! Yes, I think she's coming around. Hum… Anna Maria and Amy… hee hee, read on!

Taurusbaby0509: Hee hee, good is in all evil! Or is that the other way around…?

I have a question: What's a cliffhanger? Is it a good or a bad thing?

Thanks everybody!

Love from the chick who'd rather be in a pool then be sitting here (but can't afford one!),

SSM ;)

"Land ho!" One of the crewmembers called as the Black Pearl sailed into the harbour of Port Royal.

Amy hardly heard, however. She was listening in fascination to Anna Maria's tales as she used the ropes to control the sails.

"I had a boat once, ya know." Anna slurred. Amy sat up. She'd never heard of a female pirate before, apart from Meg.

"Oh yeah." She replied with interest.

"It was a large three-mast square-rigger type tha' could be fitted with over twenty cannons, plus many 'wivel guns an' a crew o' around two 'undred men. She could make a amazin' rival an' a flagship for pirates. Most ships would probably have surrendered to her without a shot fired if they weren't fast enough to out-sail her. 'Cept Jack Sparrow, 'course. He always fired at me. Made a big hole in me ship, he did. Then when I pulled into a harbor, 'e waited 'til I was gone and stole me ship."

"What did you do?" Meg asked, astounded.

"What could I do? Then Gibbs asked if I would be 'art of 'is crew, so Jack promised me a new one."

"Did you get it?"

"It was fired at, you idiot. That's why I'm still 'ere."

Amy thought this was fascinating. "Wow."

"Bloody hell wow! Come 'elp me with this, won't ya?"

Amy got up obediently and helped Anna Maria with the ropes she was struggling with.

"Anna! We're 'ere, love!" Gibbs yelled out to her.

"You're home." Anna said, smiling down at Amy.

Amy nodded, not nearly as entusiastic as she was half an hour ago.

oOo

"Here we are." Norrington called out to Jack. Jack listlessly walked off the ship, and went over to Elizabeth.

"Wha' where you sayin' before, love?" Jack asked her quietly.

Elizabeth bowed her head. "Well, I was going to tell you earlier. I really was, Jack. But we where looking for the g-girls, and I was preoccupied, and – "

"Spit it out, love."

Elizabeth looked up into Jack's eyes. "The thing is… isn't that the Pearl?" She asked, looking over his shoulder. "Oh, wait, that's not what I wanted to say – "

Jack spun around, oblivious to Elizabeth's feeble attempts to confess. His heart sunk at the thought of telling the crew what had happened.

Anna Maria spotted Jack and ran up to him. "Mornin', 'aven't see ya for a while. You'll never guess what 'appened – "

Jack couldn't take the happy expression on her face any longer. No one deserved to be happy in this situation, no one.

"Anna, she's dead." He blurted out, taking her by the shoulders and giving her a shake. "Dead."

Anna looked mystified. "Who?"

"Meg. She's gone. Bear kidnapped 'er an' tied 'er to the mast. She must 'ave got out of it somehow, an' she fell in the water. She's drowned. Meg's not 'ere anymore, Anna. She's gone. GONE! You where right, I got attached to her. But Anna, she was like me daughter. I don't care anymore; I just want 'er back. And… and… WHY ARE YOU STILL SMILING! SHE WAS LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER TOO! FRICKIN' HELL ANNA, YOU'RE STILL DOING IT! STOP LAUGHING!"

Anna tried to hold it in. It was just too funny. "Jack Sparrow, all upset because his little girl is dead?" She asked mockingly. Jack let her go and took a few steps back.

"Don't ya understand wha' I'm saying?" He asked her slowly.

"PAPA!"

Jack turned and saw in amazement as Meg rushed towards him and through her arms around his neck.

He pulled her roughly back. "What the hell?" He barked.

Meg looked at him in confusment. "Er, hello, I've been gone for a while. Did ya notice?" She asked him.

"But … but…"

" 'E thought ya was dead!" Anna snorted.

Meg looked up at Jack. "What?"

"But on the ship… Bear said you where dead…"

Meg blinked for a few seconds. "Of course 'e did. We jumped off the side of the boat and swam to an island."

Jack touched her face. "You're alright…"

"Yes."

He pulled her close and hugged her tightly. He dimly heard Anna Maria say, "Wait 'til the crew 'ears about this."

Beside them, Amy and Elizabeth where hugging each other tightly.

"Are you all ready to go home?" Elizabeth said, pushing away her tears.

Both girls where silent. "Actually, I really missed me real home. The Pearl." Meg said quietly.

Elizabeth blinked for a few seconds. Then she smiled. "I don't want to take away anything that means something to you. If that's where you choose your home to be, then you go there." She said bravely. Jack gave her shoulder a quick squeeze.

"If Meg gets to live on the ship, then I want to as well." Amy announced, folding her arms.

Everyone gaped at her. "WHAT?" Meg and Elizabeth cousused.

"I like it there. I like the horizons and the ocean. It's pretty. Anna Maria told me all about the ships. I think it would be nice to live on one. If Meg get's to, I want to as well." She said, sticking out her lower lip.

"Well… I…do you really…" Elizabeth couldn't find the right words. "I think I missed the ships as well." She muttered, more to herself then to anyone else.

"You all can come on the Pearl if ya want." Jack suggested, a half-smile playing on his lips. He was trying to redeem himself.

Elizabeth looked up at him sharply. Then she smiled. "I think that would be the best option." She whispered. Amy and Meg hugged each other. Amy ran back onto Jack's ship, but Meg stayed behind.

"I really missed you." She said softly to Jack. He smirked.

"Same here."

"And," She moved closer to Jack so Elizabeth couldn't hear, "I think it was fate that you brought me up. If I was in the same league as Amy, I don't think I could 'ave been where I am right now."

Jack gave her a quick hug. She raced up the ramp to the boat to join Amy.

"Ya know, you're not so bad after all." She said, giving her sister a playful shove.

"I got that fire starting, didn't I?"

Meg laughed. "Yeah, you did."

"Well, you're not so bad yourself, pirate girl."

"Ready to learn how to sail a ship?"

"I don't think I've been more sure of anything in all my life."

oOo

"She is your daughter, you know." Elizabeth said to Jack, walking up and placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, she picked up some of me traits."

"That's not what I meant."

Jack looked at her. Elizabeth took a deep breath. "Remember when we where both really drunk on that island?"

"Aye."

"And we… you know…"

"Lass, I don't remember anythin' about that night. I was blind drunk."

"Well, we… had… um…" She pointed to herself, then Jack. His eyes widened.

"And you had Meg…?"

"Exactly nine months later. I didn't tell you because I thought that you might… I don't know, abandon her. That's why I asked you to take her to my father. When I found out that you had raised her, I was more upset with myself about not telling you."

Jack looked up towards the boat. He could see Meg telling a story to the crew, with elaborate hand gestures. He smiled to himself.

She was his after all.

Omg, I'm done. That's the end of the story folks. Wow, what am I going to do now? I hope you liked it, and the reunion wasn't too pathetic. REVIEW!
