Chapter 34
She rolled over and closed her eyes, welcoming the long elusive sleep. What felt like only three minutes later, a hand was shaking her lightly. She groaned and rolled over to see who was waking her. They are in for a massive bruising. She thought savagely. But it was Elizabeth; she looked thoughtful and cautious at the same time.
"Please tell me my brother isn't trying to kill himself again." Mari asked sleepily as she sat up.
"No, but I have a question for you, since you're the only one who can persuade Jack."
"I'm listening." Mari said, reaching for a washcloth she always laid on the window ledge, thought it wasn't really a window at all, just a square cut into the wall of her cabin. The cloth was wet so it would wake her up better. She quickly wiped her face and it woke her up enough for her to focus.
"Ok, what seems to be your problem?"
"It's about the wedding, I don't know about where to have it. I want to have my father see it, but I doubt Jack will let him on the Pearl." Elizabeth said.
"Well you're right about that, and I'm not sure if he'd want to be aboard a ship full of pirates, if you get what I mean. So I have another proposition." Mari said.
"What is it?"
"Two weddings, the first official one back home in Port Royal, then another aboard the Black Pearl. You can have the one at home first, that would be more polite." Mari said. Elizabeth brightened at this suggestion.
"That sounds perfect." Elizabeth said, and before Mari could protest Elizabeth hugged her.
"Ok ok, too much lovey dovey stuff." Mari said, trying to pull away.
"Thanks Mari." Elizabeth said and ran off to find Will.
Mari sighed and stretched. She dressed quickly and walked out to her favorite spot. She let the ocean breeze wake her up, she felt better, more refreshed. Suddenly she felt a hand on her head, and then it ruffled her hair.
"Hey! Get off!" She turned to kick the person but it was Will. She pulled away,
"What was that for?" Mari asked indignantly, giving a childish glare at him. Will smiled and laughed.
"I haven't seen that look on your face since you were six." Will said. Mari turned away form him in a huff. Will wrapped an arm around his sister.
"I'm just playing with you sis. Thanks for the idea; can you tell Jack what we're doing? He's asleep and we're going to go on and leave."
"I suppose. But you'll owe me a free nap later. Oh and Will, do it right." Mari snapped, pushing him away playfully. Will hugged her and left.
Mari waited a little while, about thirty minutes, then followed, but stopped at the shore. She had a mission. She quickly ran along the beach several times, collecting various colorful shell of all colors. Purple, rainbow, green, white, brown, red, you name a color, she had it. She placed them carefully in a cloth sack and returned out to sea. She was about two yards away from the ship when she threw an anchor over her longboat. She took off the heavy tunic she had been wearing, underneath she had a white shirt with the sleeves cut off, and so they only came from her neck, to her shoulder. The only real problem with it was it was getting small, and showed her stomach a little. She undid her ruffled hair and leapt into the water. She swam a little then came back to the boat. She took off her locket and laid it in the boat. She turned, and dove under water and headed for the bottom. She began randomly grabbing shells, pebbles, clams, and oysters.
