Tessi's P.O.V.
I sat in silence after hearing Misty's side of the story… "Wow. I dreamt I was on the open sea, dancing and singing. I felt the sea spray, I mean REALLY felt it, and then I fell into the water, and I could feel that too, and while everyone was freaking out I was laughing, and I was just thinking, I wouldn't mind if I stayed on aship forever, just being on the water."
"How old were you?"
"Like twelve. Why?"
"Oh, I was around fourteen."
"It's probably just overactive imaginations." I said, knowing that was what we both wanted to hear, but neither believed.
"That must be it." Just then we heard the doorbell. Our eyes widened and we grabbed our packages, throwing them out the window into the bushes. We ran outside and screamed to the butler at the same time as Elizabeth, "DON'T!"
A pirate drew his pistol and said, "Hello, chum."
We stifled our scream, and Elizabeth did not, we hid behind a statue, and ran once the pirates got into her room, we got into the dinning room, and tried waiting to convince Elizabeth to jump out the window. And she obviously thought it was safer to hide in a closet. Can't you see the amount of intelligence in the child? I swear, she's adopted. We jump out the window and fall the two feet. We ran and grabbed our stuff, we snuck onto the Interceptor and hid our things, and then we snuck back off and began fighting with the swords we found under the beds in our room. Obviously made by Will. I was surprised I actually knew how to sword fight. Maybe it was some kind of muscle memory in this body.
We ran into Will just as one of the pirates came back to life. After Will got knocked out Misty and I decided we could either hide, or stay here, and just lie down and act dead. We chose the latter so we could still be here when Will woke up.

I groaned slightly at being shaken awake. "Tessi. Come on Tessi. Wake up." I could hear someone saying. It kind of sounded like my sister. I waved them away and tried to roll over. "No Tessi. Get your butt in gear! WAKE UP!" Definitely my sister.
I opened my eyes saw both Misty and Will towering over me, even if they were kneeling, and said in as innocent a voice as I possibly could for being woken up so harshly, after a night asleep on the ground, "Where's Elizabeth?"
"She was kidnapped." Will said, before pulling both Misty and me up roughly, and dragging us to see Puffy Wig.
"GIRLS!" Dad said running to us "I'm so happy you're all right."
"They've taken her. They've taken Elizabeth." Will said.
"Mr. Murtogg, remove this man." Puffy Wig said.
"We have to hunt them down. We must save her."
"And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughter, please share it." Dad said, and I was sorely tempted to say something, but Misty beat me to it, damn her.
"Yes, please Will. We all wish for her safe return." No one but me could hear the sarcasm dripping off her statement. I hid a smirk. It was times like these, I was so proud she was my sister.
"That Jack Sparrow. He talked about the Black Pearl." The one named Murtogg, I'm guessing, said.
"Mentioned it, is more what he did." The other one said uncomfortably.
"Ask him where it is. Make a deal with him. He could lead us to it." Will said, grabbing at straws, I could almost feel the jealously off ofMisty.
"To Elizabeth!" I added helpfully, dad glared at me, Misty sniggered.
"No…the pirates who invaded this Fort left Sparrow locked in his cell ergo they are not his allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely course…" Puffy Wig said, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HIS NAME NOW!
"That's not good enough!" Will yelled slamming his hatchet into an important looking map. TAKE THAT COMMODOR PUFFY WIG! But seriously, the boy needs better aim, he should have put it into something like Puffy Wigs hand ,or head or something like that.
"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man, you are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith and this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." He said the last part lowly, so our dad couldn't hear.
Ok, I would have to be lying if I were to say that I wasn't strongly tempted to say 'I didn't know you were a man.' Or even 'But I thought Will was the only man here.' But I would not be lying when I say; I was a good little eighteen year old and said nothing. For once.
We walked away from Puffy Wig and father and I was mumbling about Wigs and names when I heard Misty yell "TESSI! If you're going to the jail you might want to turn around and walk with us!"
I looked up, saw that I was walking toward town and the beach and began walking backwards. I didn't feel like turning around.
When I got to Misty and Will, who had been nice and walked at a slightly slower pace, I turned around and heard Misty tell me to grow up.
I didn't think it was wise to respond with my usual reply of sticking out my tongue. We walked into the jail and down to where Jack was. This scene was slightly interesting, because nobody ever noticed a big bone sticking out of a lock.
"You. Sparrow!" Will pretty much yelled
"Aye."
"You are familiar with that ship – the Black Pearl?"
"I've heard of it." I smirked at Misty, remembering that he had been the captain of the Pearl. She only rolled her eyes in response to my smirk.
"Where does it make berth?"
"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Meurta. It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is." I knew Misty, was itching to ask, how anyone could have found the island in the first place, but for once, she kept her mouth shut.
"The ship's real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" I said helping Will out.
"Why ask me?" Jack asked studying his nails.
"Because you're a pirate!" Will said as if it were the most obvious thing on earth.
"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?"
"Never! They took Miss Swann."
"Which one?" Jack asked confused.
"Elizabeth, the idiot who fell into the water." I said.
Will looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Its how I show affection."
"Oh, so it is that you've found a girl. I see. Well, if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me."
I bit my tongue because now didn't exactly seem like the time to say, 'You'll get to spend time with me,' Misty seemed glad that I didn't say anything to that.
"I can get you out of here."
'And I can find keys, Good Job Will.' I thought.
"How's that? The key's run off."
'Thank you Einstein.' I thought.
"I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges. With the right leverage and the proper application of strength… the door will lift free." Will picked up a bench and placed it at the bottom of the cell door.
"What's your name?"
"Will Turner."
"That will be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father, eh?"
"Yes."
"Uh-huh. Well, Mr. Turner, I've changed my mind. If you spring me from this cell I swear on pain of death I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"
"Agreed." Will said, shaking Jacks hand.
"Agreed. Get me out."
"How many times are they going to say agreed," Misty leaned over and whispered to me.
"At least two more. You should know you are obsessed." I laughed back, when I saw the scowl on her face.
"Hurry. Someone will have heard that." Will said after the door fell with a loud clank.
"No crap Will." I said, I couldn't help it.
"Not without my effects."
We snuck through the town, which in all the commotion was fairly easy. We ran under the bridge and I grimaced as we splashed through the water.
"We're going to steal the ship. That ship?" Will asks looking at the Dauntless.
"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl – how far are you willing to go to save her?" Jack said turning to face us since we were behind him.
"I'd die for her."
"Oh, good. No worries, then. And you girls, are you coming with us, or are you just seeing us off?" Jack said turning his attention to Misty and I, mostly me though I noticed.
"We're coming." I jumped in, before Will could protest.
"How far would you go for her?"
"She's our little sister." Misty said as if it covered it completely. Which, to us it did, but apparently not to Jack.
"Look, we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we didn't even try to save her."
"Alright. Come on." Jack ushered us toward the little boat.
I groaned and looked at the water, which would add at least ten pounds to the dress, and I didn't have the best upper arm strength either way. Misty seemed to have the same feelings, and started to take off her dress. We had put on very light dresses last night, knowing something was going to happen, but they were still very heavy.
Will and Jack started coughing and clearing their throats, Jack more amused, Will more, shocked and appalled, at what we were doing.
"What are they doing?" Will asked alarmed, his voice came out strangled, as if it were changing.
"They're taking their clothes off mate. Are you sure that this girl is that important to you?"
"Stuff it Sparrow." I said annoyed, "It's not like with your reputation you have never seen a woman undress, and these dresses weigh at least twenty pounds. Thirty when wet."
Misty smirked at Jack's face, he was surprised someone talked back to him like that. I kept taking off clothing until I was left only in my shift. I hoped that this one would be like Elizabeth's and not be transparent, since they were both made of the same material.
I walked over to the boat, and waited for Misty she joined us shortly and we hid under the boat and started walking toward the bay. It was pretty funny that nobody noticed, and that we were able to keep breathing in an air pocket the boat created. We took one last deep breath and started to climb up the back of the ship. I looked down as Jack helped me over the rail and was happy to find that the water didn't make my shift transparent. I did a happy little jig as Misty was pulled over and then Will. We followed down to where Jack threatens the ship and, I zoned out a little bit.
"This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay." But when I heard that I marched over to Puffy Wig Jr. and smacked him upside the head, and he quickly added, "Or two women."
I smiled happily and sat down playing with the hem of my dress and laughed as all the Nancy-boys got kicked off the ship that we weren't planning on using. Misty was beside me staring at the pretty cumulus clouds.
I was pulled up roughly by someone smelling strongly of the sea, and hugged to him, I didn't have enough time to protest before feeling like I was floating, we had just swung over to the Interceptor. Misty had been grabbed by Will, which means that Jack grabbed me. I felt the odd urge to giggle. And I don't giggle.
When we landed on the other deck, Jack didn't let go immediately, so I said, "Jack, we do have a getaway to make." It was a good thing Will already cut the ropes otherwise we'd be sitting ducks. Jack hurried over to the helm and as we were leaving, "Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way. We'd have had a hard time of it by ourselves." Jack yelled waving as a sailor fell into the water, trying to board the Interceptor.
"BYE PUFFY WIG!" I screamed, and Misty doubled over laughing.
"His…Name…I-is…N-No-Norrington…" Misty said laughing
I stopped for a second, thought about it and said, "Yea, I'm not going to remember that."
"Lets just go find clothes."
We walked around looking for where we stashed our clothes and then when we found them we walked down to the belly. Too bad there wasn't really a door. I shrugged and said, "Well, we've changed in gym class, and we were wearing less than this." With that I pulled my pants on under the shift and started unlacing it in order to put on the shirt.
Third Person P.O.V.
As Tessi went to pull her shift over her head the wind blew her shirt behind her, and she grabbed it after pulling her shift off. Jack turned his head in the girls' direction, just in time to witness this. He brought out his Monocular Scope quickly. Will looked over to see Jack zooming in on the girls, taking off their clothes, or putting them on.
"What are you doing?" Will asked alarmed. But seemed to enjoy seeing Misty undressed. And that was the most effort Will made to stop Jack.
Tessi finished fastening her shirt and looked up and her eyes widened at the fact that Jack's Monocular scope was focused on her chest. She shrieked and hit her sister's arm to get her attention. Misty looked up to see Will trying to get Jacks attention, who seemed very focused on his Monocular Scope.
I crossed my arms and walked up to him and said, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING SPARROW?"
"Checking out the view?" Jack asked, as he lowered the scope and turned around.
"Of the belly of the ship?" Misty asked glaring at both men.
"You are so full of crap you pervert!" I screamed at him, I smacked him and stormed off. Even if I was secretly pleased at the attention.
