Chapter Fifteen: The Sunlight
Amy stirred in her bed as the sunlight came through her window and disturbed her sleep. Amy did wake up but just lay there like she was still asleep with her eyes closed.
'Stupid, bloody sunlight. Why does it have to come so early? Yes I love sunlight and all, but I hate it in the morning. I just want it to go away and come back later, say around ten o'clock. Or better yet, noon. And it just had to wake me up from one of the best sleeps I've had in a long time. I haven't slept this well in I don't know how long. It feels so good. I don't want to get up. Can't I just stay in bed for the rest of the day? I can't, I have to go meet Harry for lunch. I'll just stay here for half a day then.'
Amy took a deep breath and snuggled in her spot even more than she already was.
'I really don't want to get up. I just want to stay in my nice, warm bed. I just wish I could block out the sun. Stupid sun. I just want to go back to sleep in my nice, warm, cozy bed. Sleep... is that too much to ask? Once I get up, I'll be freezing cold. I'll just stay here in my nice warm bed. Who cares if I don't get up? I deserve to sleep in. Wait a second, how could I be this warm with only one blanket and a bedspread? When I've done it before I never was this warm. Oh no, he didn't. If he did I'm going to kill him.'
Amy put her arm near her waist and sure enough there was an arm there. She rolled onto her back and opened her eyes to see Jack staring at her.
"Good morning." Amy screamed in Jack's face and pushed him off the bed and landed very hard on the floor.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED…AGAIN?" Amy looked over the side of the bed and saw Jack lying on the ground rubbing his nose.
"Will you ever stop hurting me?"
"Why were you in my bed?"
"What did you say?"
"WHY WERE YOU IN MY BED?"
"Well, I was cold and it woke me up and then I saw you were shivering like crazy and…"
"Are you blaming me for you sneaking into my bed while I was asleep?"
"No, I blame your door for not opening."
"Which is on my ship!"
"Oh. Well, that's true."
"How long have you've been in my bed!"
"What?"
"HOW. LONG. HAVE. YOU. BEEN. IN. MY. BED."
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe an hour or two, or almost the whole night."
"WHAT! You've been sleeping in my bed next to me the whole night and I didn't even know about it!"
"Well…um…yeah."
"I cold understand the first time, but this!" Amy rolled her eyes back and screamed inside her mouth and fell back onto her pillow. Jack stood up and tried to get Amy to talk to him.
"Amy, come on. If I didn't get into your bed, you wouldn't have gotten any sleep."
"I THINK I COULD HAVE DONE JUST FINE, THANK YOU!" Amy rolled over and turned away from Jack. Of course, Jack would not give up without a fight and quickly walked to the other side and tried to get Amy to talk to him.
"Amy, I was just trying to get some sleep."
"Well then, you should have made your bed better so you would have stayed warm!" She pulled the bedspread over her face and concealed herself from Jack.
"Amy will you just listen to me?"
"GO AWAY!"
"Amy..."
"I SAID GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Fine then, you leave me no choice." Jack grabbed the end of the blanket and bedspread and in one swift move, pulled them off of Amy, making her curl herself into a ball, leaving her with nothing over her.
"BLOODY HELL JACK! Give me back my blankets! I'm freezing!" Amy got out of the ball that she was in and reached over to grab the blankets from Jack but he stepped back before she could.
"You can get your precious blankets back after you listen to me."
"I don't want to talk to you right now! I just want to sleep! I don't need your stupid blankets anyway! I'll be fine the way I am!" Amy crawled over to the side of her bed and took the blankets that Jack was supposed to have used for a bed and threw them over herself, completely hiding from Jack.
"Don't make me take those away from you."
"Go ahead and try! I don't care!" Jack sighed and grabbed the blankets and pulled them off of the bed, but Amy had a trick up her sleeve. She had tucked the bottom of one of the blankets under her feet so when Jack grabbed them, he would only pull off the first two and leave the bottom one on her.
"Played a little trick I see."
"JACK JUST GO AWAY AND LET ME GET SOME SLEEP!"
"Not until you hear me out."
"I'll listen to you after I get some sleep!"
"AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET SOME SLEEP UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO ME!"
"Well then go ahead and make sure I don't get any sleep! I really don't care! I'm so tired right now I could sleep through anything so it doesn't what matter you do! Just leave me the hell alone!" Amy screamed inside her mouth and made herself into an even tighter ball, still covered with the blanket.
"Just let me get some bloody sleep!" Jack rolled his eyes and sighed. He looked at Amy and got an evil smirk on his face.
"Fine. I'll let you sleep and then we'll talk."
"Thank you." Jack made footsteps to sound like he was walking to a chair and sitting down, since Amy was still hidden under the blanket and couldn't see, but was really standing in the same spot and crouched down in front of the bed. He quietly made his way to the side that Amy was sleeping on and waited until she took the blanket away from her face and slowly stretched out. Jack slightly poked his head up from the side of the bed to make sure Amy's eyes were closed. Once he saw that they were closed, the wicked smirk on his face grew, if possible, as he stood up and got ready to take his plan into action. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it from Amy in one swift, quick tug, making Amy roll over and let out a small scream.
"You said you were going to let me sleep!"
"And you believed me? Haven't you learned anything about me during the time that we spent together?"
"Yes, I have learned that your are a drunk, crazy, stubborn, evil perverted, sneaky pirate who's name is Walter!" Amy grabbed her pillow before Jack noticed that he still left it on the bed, and crawled to the other side of the bed and brought her knees close to her chest, placed her pillow on top of her knees, and buried her face in her pillow.
"You know if you stay like that long enough, you'll suffocate yourself."
"I don't care! At least when I'm dead I'll have some peace and quiet so I can sleep without anyone pulling blankets off of me or crawling into my bed!" Amy buried her head deeper into the pillow.
"You can't keep that up forever."
"Well I'm going to try!" Jack sighed and sat down on the bed. He sat down close to Amy, but not close enough for her to know that he was sitting right next to her. He leaned against the backboard and waited for Amy to take her head out of the pillow. She actually kept her head in the pillow for longer than he thought she would. She kept for face buried in the pillow for about ten minutes until she slowly picked her head up and rested it on top of it.
"Now are you ready to talk?" Amy turned her head to look at Jack.
"How long have you been there?"
"Oh, ten minutes maybe."
"Oh." Amy sighed and looked at her window. She looked right into the sun and quickly closed her eyes, made a small moan, and looked away.
"Stupid, bloody sun." Jack let out a small chuckle and smiled at Amy.
"What do you have against the sun?"
"I'm mad at it. It woke me up from my sleep." Jack made a slightly louder laugh and continued to smile at Amy.
"Well you would be mad at it too if it woke you up from one of the best sleeps you've had in a long time!" Jack now had a mischievous glint in his eye and was grinning wildly at Amy. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and regretted what she just said.
"Crap." Amy pushed herself forward and fell face first onto the bed and put the pillow over her head.
"What did you say?"
"Me? I didn't say anything."
"Yes you did." Jack flopped down onto the bed next to Amy and tried to take the pillow off of her head but she pulled it back down every time he tried to take it away.
"I didn't say anything."
"One of the best sleeps you've had in a long time, eh? So you are happy that I crawled into your bed." Amy pulled the pillow off of her head and sighed.
"Ok fine, I admit it. Last night…I slept better than I had in a long time. Since you crawled into my bed, it made me feel warmer and more comfortable. But that still gave you no right in sleep next to me without me knowing! Even though I did kind of enjoy it."
"Maybe we could do it again sometime?"
"How about… not."
"Your loss." Amy giggled and smiled.
"You're so full of yourself, you know that?"
"Can't help it." Amy laughed again and sighed. She looked away from Jack and stared at her pillow that she had in her hand, and put an evil smirk on her face.
"What are you going to-" but was cut off by a pillow that hit him hard in the face. Amy started giggling uncontrollably and was biting her lip to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
"Couldn't resist."
"Oh, so you thought that was funny?"
"Very much so." Amy hit him in the face again.
"Are you challenging me to a fight Miss Jones?"
"Sure, why not. I feel like winning."
"And what makes you think that you're going to win?"
"Why wouldn't I win?"
"Because you're going against Captain Jack Sparrow."
"So what? That just reassures me that I'm going to win."
"You shouldn't have said that."
"Why not?" Before she knew it, Jack had rolled to the other side of the bed, grabbed the pillow off the floor, and hit her head.
"That's why." Amy hit Jack again but rolled off the bed before Jack could hit her again making him hit the bed instead. Amy stood up and ran in front of the bed and hit Jack again.
"Come on Jack, are you even trying?" Jack sung his feet over the front of the bed and stood up.
"Of course I am." He quickly hit Amy on the head and dodged out of the way before she could hit him again. Jack tried to hit Amy again, but she ducked his attempt and then hit him on the head again. They fought around the room for about ten minutes ducking and dodging from each other's blows. Amy was able to dodge many of Jack's hits, but hither a few times. And as for Jack…well…he got hit in the face as many times as Amy dodged his hits, which was a lot.
"Will you stop moving?"
"No because then you'll hit me."
"That's why I want you to stay still." Jack started to get frustrated that he was getting hit so many times, that he started to become more aggressive. He moved more quickly and made it harder for Amy to dodge his hits and was now hitting her more. Amy started to realize that she was losing and ran on to the bed and stood on top of it. She was now above Jack's height so she had a very good opportunity to hit him on the head even more.
"You can't get up there! That's not fair!"
"Look who's talking! Complaining about how something is not fair. You're a pirate! Well it's too late now because I'm already up here!" Amy continued to hit Jack, but her hits were not stopping him from climbing up onto the bed and now standing at the same height as her.
"You can't come up here! I'm already up here!"
"Well too late!" Amy made a girlish-sounding grunt and started hitting Jack vigorously again. It took Jack a minute to realize that he was being hit and started to fight back. Amy was surprised that he was hitting her back, but still kept on fighting. Slowly Jack forced Amy near the edge of the bed, and she realized she could not move back any further without falling off.
"What are you going to do now?" Amy looked around to see if she got any ideas until she saw her bedpost. She grabbed onto it, swung around to the middle of the bed and pushed Jack off the bed. Luckily he landed on his feet.
"That's what I'm going to do." Amy hit Jack one more time and jumped off the bed. The two continued to fight each other and worked their way into the middle of the room. Jack and Amy continued to hit each other until both Jack and Amy gave each other a unusually strong hit at the same time that made the pillows rip and feathers went flying everywhere.
"I guess we're done."
"Yeah. At least we had some fun out of these pillows. I've been meaning to get new ones anyway."
"Well that's good." Both Amy and Jack stood there breathing very heavily trying to catch their breath from moving around so much. Amy brushed the feathers off of her hair and sat down on the bed.
"That was…interesting. I would have beat you too if the pillows lasted longer."
"What do you mean? I was beating you. Captain Jack Sparrow always wins."
"Probably not this time."
"Well then how are we going to settle this?"
"I guess we'll have to have a rematch sometime. Not now because I don't have enough energy and I don't have any more pillows."
"I'll hold you to that challenge." Amy laid back on the bed as Jack walked over and leaned against a bedpost.
"Before I forget, Gibbs wants to know if you would like to have lunch with him today."
"Well I was going to meet Harry for lunch, but he'll be happy if Gibbs came along."
"Why are you going to lunch with him?"
"He's a dear friend of mine that I haven't seen in a long time and I would like to catch up, that's all."
"You sure that's it?"
"Yes Jack, I'm sure that's it. Now I really have to be getting ready so we have to try that door open." Amy walked over to the door and tried to open it, but I wouldn't move like it did the night before.
"No. It can't do this to me. This door will open." Amy tried again but it still didn't move.
"Jack?" Amy asked as sweetly as possible.
"Oh, alright." He walked over to the door where Amy was standing and placed his hands on top of hers on the doorknob.
"On the count of three we pull. One…two…three!" Both of them pulled as hard as they could and the door opened. But they pulled so hard that the doorknob came apart from the door, making fall backwards on top of each other into the pile of feathers that was on the floor and made feathers go flying everywhere.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, but we broke my doorknob. It came off." Amy held up the doorknob for Jack to see.
"But at least were free." Amy brushed off a few feathers that had fallen onto her face and sneezed. Jack sat up but since Amy was on top of him, this action made her fall right into his lap. Amy tried to hide her face from Jack with her hair so he couldn't see that she was blushing and got off of his lap and stood up.
"I'll have to get someone to fix my door now. I think Harry could do it."
"Harry?"
"What do you have against Harry? You hardly know him."
"I just don't like him, or trust him."
"Give him a chance. He's a really nice guy. Please Jack?"
"Fine. I'll do it for you, not for him."
"I can live with that." Amy stretched her arm out for Jack to grab and pulled him up.
"Now as much as I love your company…get out of my room."
"Why?"
"I have to change."
"Can't I stay in here and watch?"
"No!" Amy pushed Jack out of the room and into the hallway.
"Now I want you to go up to the deck and wait there for me. I don't trust you enough to stay down here seeing as I have no lock on my door any more. And no peeking!"
"What makes you think I'll do that?"
"You know you will. It's your nature. But before you try and peek into my room, just remember who has access to a window and all your effects, coat, and hat. Now go upstairs and wait for me like a good little boy." Amy patted Jack on the head and pushed him towards the stairs. She closed her door, not to hard to make sure she would not get stuck again, and waited to here footsteps going upstairs. She never heard the never heard any footsteps. Amy stood to the side of the door where Jack couldn't see her and listened for any sign of Jack. She heard something jingle outside the door and knew it was Jack.
"PERVERT!" She hit the door extremely hard, making her hand sting, but was satisfied when she heard a large 'Ouch!' come from the other side of the door.
I am extremely sorry you had to wait so long for this chapter. My excuse: I left for Canada for spring break and forgot to update before I left. It's a bad excuse, but I'm telling the truth. I SAW LORD OF THE RINGS THE MUSICAL! (Yes that's right there is a musical.) Best thing ever. It was so amazing. Anyway, thanks for the reviews. And I only got ONE for the last chapter. I was very disappointed in you people. Don't let me down this time. If I get 3 reviews up by the end of the day, I shall post the next chapter since you waited so long for this one. Ta!
Note: My computer went crazy, so I apologize for any extra '?' or a lack of ' . I tried my best to fix them all but there still might be some left.
