Tori and Kirsten walked along the rows of shops in Port Royal, admiring their dresses in every window they saw. Their thin figures looked even thinner with the corsets on. They were talking about what Elizabeth had said back in the dress shop.

"I wonder if she was serious," Kirsten said. "I mean, she was smiling, but her eyes looked serious. Not that I'm complaining if she was, though." "I know! And did you hear how she practically called off her engagement to Will? That can only mean good things, my dearie," Tori said that last sentence to mock all those corny fortune-tellers back home.

Kirsten laughed. "Yeah, well, I just hope she's okay with that. I mean, if she was only doing it to make Will happy, and she was like 'oh no you didn't' to herself, I wouldnt want that." Tori nodded. "Yeah, you're right. If I were you, I wouldn't want to get on her bad side," Tori said, referring to the part in the second movie where she took out, like, a million people with two swords.

They laughed as they walked back to the Black Pearl. They were still giggling as they sat down on the bench that they had been sitting on when they first discovered they were on the ship, after they had stumbled through the doors of the movie theater. Suddenly, they stopped laughing, and their eyes widened.

A tall, dirty blonde girl was standing in front of them, looking as disoriented as they had when they first stumbled on the Black Pearl. "What? Where am I? Who- Tori? Kirsten?" she asked, finally seeing the two girls. "Catey!" they shrieked, standing up to hug their friend.

Catey, short for Catherine, was a friend from 2006. She was very athletic, and she loved Pirates of the Caribbean as much as Tori and Kirsten. "How did you get here?" Kirsten asked. "I don't know! I was just in the movie theater-" Tori cut her off. "Theater 9 at the mall?" she asked her friend. "I think so, why?" the tall girl asked. "That's where we were just before we got here!" Kirsten cried. "That's weird," Catey said. She noticed, for the first time, what they were wearing. "Corsets, huh? You've met them, then?" she asked, referring to Jack, Will, and Elizabeth. "Yup, and Tori pulled quite a stunt," Kirsten said. "That was SO AWESOME!" Tori said. "I'm afraid to ask, but I will anyway," Catey said, looking amused.

"Well, you know her, boy-crazy to the max," Kirsten said. "And, being a drama major in school. Put those together, and you get-" "Me, trying to defend my Jack Sparrow blanket from, well, Jack Sparrow," Tori said. " But then I quit pulling so I could pretend to lose my balance and fall into his arms." Catey tried to stifle a laugh.

"I could almost see that," she said. "Yeah, well, I did get to see it. And ever since, I've been thinking of pulling a stunt like that for myself," Kirsten said. "Really?" Tori asked. "Yeah," Kirsten said. "Well, here's your chance!" Tori said, seeing Will pulling a rope. She whispered something to Kirsten, who walked over semi-close to where Will was standing and picked up a rope that was crossed with the one Will had. Catey looked at Tori, who was smirking evilly. "I've taught her well, huh?"

Meanwhile, Kirsten was following Tori's instructions, every last word. She twisted the ropes together one more time, then took two steps to the left. She took a deep breath, and pulled the rope tight. She stuck her foot in the loop of ropes that were crossed, and pretended to trip. The rope she was holding pulled Will toward her, and she fell into his arms. She grinned at Tori, then stood up. "Thanks," she said to Will, smiling. She hugged him.

Tori's blue eyes widened. "I really have taught her well. Maybe too well," she said. Catey nodded, as Kirsten walked back over to them. "That was so awesome!" Catey said. Kirsten was always a little bit shy back home, so this was a new thing for Catey to see. Kirsten laughed.

Suddenly, Jack and Elizabeth came over. "Another one?" Elizabeth asked. "Yeah, this is our friend Catey," Tori said. "Hi," Catey said as she shook hands with Elizabeth and Jack.

Elizabeth turned her eyes to Tori. "We need to talk to you," she said. Tori lowered her eyebrows questioningly, but she stood up and followed them. Catey and Kirsten waited a moment, then followed them as well. Tori, Jack, and Elizabeth walked into a room and shut the door. Kirsten and Catey lowered their ears to the keyhole.

"Well, it's not actually us that need to talk to you, it's more him. I'm here for moral support," Elizabeth said. Kirsten's breath caught. "Elizabeth! She was right!" Kirsten whispered. "What?" Catey asked, hushed. Kirsten shushed her.

"Well?" Tori asked. Jack took a deep breath. "I know I've only known you for a day, but it really feels like forever, and I was wondering..." a pause, "I was wondering if you would do me the honor of marrying me?" Kirsten clamped a hand over Catey's mouth, as it had dropped open. Suddenly they heard a shriek so loud it hurt their ears. They scooted back a bit.

Tori stood for a moment of stunned silence, then said "Yes, oh my gosh, yes!" Jack kissed her quickly, then sighed with relief. "Well, you can go tell your friends, I guess," he said to her. Catey and Kirsten ran back to the bench, as they had heard footsteps walking to the door. They saw the doorknob turn, then saw Tori stepping out. Her mouth was hanging open, and her pale skin had gone paler than usual. There was a ring with a small diamond on it on her left hand.

Kirsten turned to her friend. "What did they want?" she asked, trying hard not to laugh. "You were eavesdropping, weren't you?" Tori asked, hushed. Catey nodded, then grinned, and laughed. Tori screamed and hopped up and down. She grabbed her friends in a hug.

(R&R appreciated, as usual. This chap. was fun to write! Well, I have a few notes. I'm not sure they had engagement rings back then, but still. And, I've had a few friends ask how old Tori, Kirsten, and Catey are. They are 21. For anyone who cares, my vacation was fun! Anyway, I am writing more, as this is BIG NEWS for Tori and Kirsten. And Catey, for that matter. By the way, in case you haven't figured it out, I am Tori, and Kirsten and Catey are real people. I'm on my cellphone with Kirsten as I write this. Anyway, TTYL peeps!)
