(Thanks to Captain Dixxie Mae for the idea for Gibbs's obsession! I apologize for the long wait for this chapter. My family just moved.)
Will looked around at the gathered circle. He was a little nervous about asking who wanted to go next, due to their last incident, and he did not want to be scarred for life anymore than he now was. He glanced at Beckett, who was now sitting in his chair with his bottom lip sticking out very far. Beckett's servant, Mr.Mercer, rubbed his back and spoke soothing words to him.
Upon seeing this, Will raised an eyebrow and looked away, mumbling, "Whatever," under his breath.
Finally, with a sigh, he asked the dreaded question:
"Who's going next?"
Silence. Complete and total silence. And then…
"I will!"
Everyone looked to see who it was that had spoken. It was Mr.Gibbs, and he was standing up.
Will nodded at him, "Go ahead, then."
Mr.Gibbs's face paled a little as he realized that he would have to soon reveal his obsession. He resigned himself, and then announced, "My name is Joshamee Gibbs.My obsession is-"
"Joshamee? Joshamee! HAH!" Beckett spluttered amidst his laughter. "That sounds like Josh-a-knee! Get it? Josh-a-knee!"
His outburst was greeted with blank stares. Jack raised a single eyebrow at Beckett and muttered something under his breath that sounded quite like, "Stupid chicken."
Seeing that no one else was laughing, Beckett's laughter quickly turned into sobs. "I knew you hated me!" he wailed, his voice reaching a terrifying squeaky height. Everyone winced and covered their ears. Bootstrap began to yell random phrases. He clearly wanted to cover his ears, but, alas, he could not, because his hands were tied to the chair as a restraint against him getting up and crashing into things.
"The projectional software of the sixth dimension requires a zebra to stuff down it's throat!" Bootstrap roared, shaking his head violently back and forth.
Beckett stared at Bootstrap for a moment, before bursting into laughter again. "Haha! Look at the funny man!"
Bootstrap stopped shaking his head and fixed his gaze on Beckett. "Thy charitable socks shall eat wormwood!"
Beckett's eyes widened, and he quickly shut up. Everyone grinned.
"Told you 'e wos a chicken!" Jack said triumphantly.
Beckett folded his arms across his chest and looked like he was about to start wailing again, but Will interrupted him.
"I think that Gibbs was attempting to tell us his obsession. Let's let him continue." Will said, turning to Gibbs.
Gibbs sighed. He had been hoping that they would forget about him. Oh well. "I like Disney Sing Along Videos."
This was met with total silence. Everyone just stared at him, blank-faced.
"Well, all of you must've been deprived of a childhood!" Gibbs huffed. He then reached into one of his pockets, and withdrew a tape. "This right 'ere- this is my obsession."
He waltzed flamboyantly over to a television that had conveniently appeared in the room. Everyone gave him an odd look at seeing him waltz. Humming a happy Disney tune, Gibbs stuck in the tape and pushed a few buttons.
The screen was blank for a moment, and Gibbs returned to his seat. All of a sudden, bright colors burst onto the screen, and a happy little lion cub started bouncing around and singing.
"I'm gonna be a might king! So enemies beware!" The little cub sang. The words to the song scrolled across the bottom of the screen, and Gibbs began singing along as loud as he could.
Everyone's mouths fell open. This peppy little lion cub was beginning to scare them a bit.
"No one sayin' do this! No one sayin' stop that! No one sayin' see heeeere!"
It was then that Gibbs stood up and began to dance and groove to the song. "C'mon everybody! Join me!"
Glances were exchanged, and finally Tia Dalma stood up and started to dance and sing. Her singing was rather… odd, due to her heavily accented voice and gunky black teeth.
Ragetti jumped up next, squealing, "That looks li'e fun!" He waggled his hips around, pulling Pintel up with him, and forced Pintel to dance to.
Pintel looked a little embarrassed, and he blushed and shuffled back and forth a little.
Soon, everyone in the group was dancing- Jack and Will were doing the tango, Governer Swann was doing the chacha, and Beckett was (of course) belly dancing. Even Bootstrap was doing a little wiggling around, though he couldn't really do much since he was tied to a chair.
The song ended, and then the next song began. This one was about a little red-headed mermaid, and a little lobster. It had a funky little xylophone thing in it, and the lobster began singing.
Suddenly, Beckett belly danced right into the television. It fell with a loud CRASH! And the tape stuck out of the VCR at a funny angle.
The room went dead silent as Gibbs's face became all scrunched.
"Nooooooo! Preciousss!" he howled, diving over to his tape. He tugged at it, but couldn't remove it form under the television.
Gibbs turned on Beckett, his eyes crazed. "You hurt friend! Me hurt yooooouuuu!"
He pounced on Beckett, and yanked off his wig. Beckett protested loudly about that, and tugged on some of Gibbs' thin hair.
Soon, everyone had found a reason to attack someone else in the room. Fistfights broke out everywhere, and Jack was waving around a sword, while Elizabeth was brandishing a handy bottle of rum she had found.
Bootstrap burst from his chair and rushed at Pintel and Ragetti, howling, "STRAWBERRY SPECKLED TEDDY BEARS LOVE TO CLIMB TREES!"
