I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Chapter 15
Apologies, sort of.
Mr Willy Wonka cautiously stepped out from behind Elizabeth. "What are you doing Captain?"
Elizabeth turned and whispered to him, "She doesn't know?" "No, and I have absolutely no intention of telling her kay? That could just get messy. I mean, she's so weird." Elizabeth nodded and turned her attention back to Anamaria.
"I was talking to Elizabeth." He was thankful the weird girl said her name. "And Will." "Well, there's trouble aboard the Pearl, Cotton and Gibbs are at it again."
"Would I not be like myself if I said I didn't care?" The female pirate raised her brow quizzically, "Yes." "Okay then, lets go." "We should wait for Will."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the mumbler." "You know I'm right behind you." Willy jumped two inches off the ground and shrieked.
"You really shouldn't do that little boy. You could scare a person to death." Mr Wonka changed his mind about calling him little boy. He thought it might annoy the mumbler. "Unfortunately it didn't work."
Mr Wonka raised his index finger, "You should be really glad I can't understand you, because if I could," Willy could not think of a good threat. What would the rogue do?
As Mr Wonka was trying to channel the man whose body he inhabited, Will got tired of waiting and started to walk towards the Pearl.
"Little boy? Don't walk away from me. Little Boy?" Mr Wonka was following him at a fast pace with Elizabeth and Anamaria on their trail. Will stopped and turned around. "I am not a little boy, or a Mumbler."
Willy pretended nothing had happened. "If I could I would make you walk the plank." He hoped it worked better with Will than the weird woman. It didn't. Will started laughing again. Elizabeth kicked him.
"Captain, we really need to go aboard the Pearl." "Okay. But the Mumbler can't join us." "What?" "It's my boat, and you can't come on it. Not until you apologize." Mr Wonka stood there with his arms folded across his chest. "Now say you're sorry."
"I will not." "Will, apologize to Jack." "Elizabeth..." She whispered something in his ear. His hard demeanor never changed, but he somehow was able to mutter those two fateful words, "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Will was irate, but he took one look at Elizabeth's pleading brown eyes and complied. "For scaring you, for letting you fend for yourself with that woman, and laughing at you."
"And what else?" Will wasn't going to do it. He didn't say a word. "What else?" He knew he was going to get nowhere if he didn't say it. "For mumbling." Mr Wonka released his arms and smiled. "Okay, let's boogie."
Anamaria led the way as the foursome made their way to the Black Pearl. The sight before their eyes was quite a one to behold.
