A/N Last chapter everyone. Sorry it took me so long to update.. but I really didn't feel like writing. Too hot, and thinking too much about this new story. But here it is! Hope you enjoyed the story, despite the fact that it didn't really have a plot.. or a lot of Jack and Will..

Here goes:

Chapter 20- Little adventures of our own.

We're back on the Black Pearl.. this time we got there in one go. I don't think I'll ever get used to wardrobes as a means of transportation. But hey, who's complaining? At least we're back.. and we're going to fetch the treasure, kill that blasted Mary Sue, somehow ditch Barbossa, and get back to the 21st century. Piece of cake, right?

Not.. You know how those journeys on ships always seem to take 2 days, perhaps even less in the movies? Well.. we've been sailing 4 whole days now.. and still no sign of this so called treasure. And I'm bored!
"Jack.. are we there yet?"
"Well luv, just ask your boyfriend. He's the one up there in the crow's nest."
Almost as if he could hear us talking, Jasper shouts down: "LAND HO!"
"Ho? Ho what?" Chloe asks.
"Well.. I don't know.. it's something I always hear in the movies and stuff" Jasper mutters, climbing down the mast.

And finally we see something on the horizon, a little dark speck. Could be an island.

Unfortunately.. ships don't sail that fast, so it took us nearly another day to get near the island.
Early the next morning Jack wakes us, it's time to leave the ship.
"Everybody in the longboats!" Jack roars when we're close enough to go to shore.

"Good morning everyone," a voice sounds behind us "Glad to see everyone up so early. Now.. if everybody would be so kind to just go inside Captain Sparrow's cabin, I'd be much obliged."

Barbossa turns around, grinning.
"Ah, Mary, I was wondering what took you so long."
Mary smiles at her brother, and points her gun at us.
"I thought I asked you all a favor, now please, my patience is running low," She waves with her gun at Jack "You, Sparrow, hand the map to my brother, Gary."
Chloe cocks an eyebrow, her hand protective on her stomach.
"Gary? Gary Barbossa?"
"Not really" Mary sneers, while taking the map from Jack "Mary and Gary Sue, Barbossa adopted us, tried to turn us into pirates. But we didn't see any profit in it for us. When he died, he left us this map. We're only going to claim what's rightfully ours."

Gary pushes Will into the cabin, and in the same movement grabs his own gun.
"Indeed, dear sister. Now.. she has asked you people twice.. I suggest you get down here very quickly"
One by one, we all descend into the room. Jasper is last, but when he walks down the stairs, Gary grabs his arm.
"Not you, you are going with us, to keep us company."
Will's face looks pale.
"Barbossa! You bastard!" He shouts, his voice sounding hoarse.
Gary smirks.
"Sticks and stones lad, words won't hurt me. But this sword will hurt and even kill your friend, so don't bother coming after us"
He pushes Jasper into Mary's arms, who immediately grabs a firm hold of him. She grins at me and I feel jealousy burning in my stomach. Still grinning, she puts her nose in Jasper's neck and gives him a little kiss just below his earlobe.

"And who knows? If you behave like a nice little girl, we might even let him live.. after I've had my fun with him. After all.. he sure is a fine man.." Mary tells us in her sweet voice, before giving Jasper a quick lick on his cheek, then she turns around, walking away with Jasper pushed out before her, the gun pointed at his head.
"Wait!" Jack cries out, "What did you do to Norrington!"

Mary looks over her shoulder, a lopsided grin on her face "I locked him in his own jail, his own wig stuffed in his mouth. Don't worry, I didn't kill the filthy little traitor. That's something I'll leave to you, after all.. you were the ones he betrayed"
After those words, she starts laughing. A very witchy laugh. Very scary. Well.. witches aren't scary, but the way she laughs is scary. Gary closes the door, locking it with a key he seemingly magically laid his hands on.

"Well.. this is just great." Chloe mumbles. Jack and Will are staring at me. I feel hot.. very hot.. very angry. I keep on staring at the closed door, clenching my jaws, gritting my teeth.
"Lona.. why are you balling and then relaxing your fists like that? You're making me nervous."
Will says, looking at me awkwardly.
I ignore him, and I can feel the anger and jealousy building up inside me.
Jack puts his arm around Will's shoulder and gently leads him away from me
"Just let her be for a moment lad, we need to figure out a way to save the lad"

An hour later I'm still standing at the same spot, very angry.. Finally I can't control myself any longer.
"THAT'S IT! I'M GOING TO KILL THAT OBNOXIOUS, ANNOYING, MANIPULATING, IRRITATING LITTLE WENCH! AND THIS TIME I MEAN IT!" I shout at the door, which, of course, doesn't respond. I start pounding my fists on said door, but it doesn't budge.
"That isn't going to work luv," Jack says, his voice sounding sympathetic "We're stuck in here for a little while"
"Like hell we aín't" I growl at him, looking around me.

"Jack, Will, grab that bench and go stand at the far end of the room. Chloe.. get out of my way!" Together with the two guys I pick up the bench.
"Okay, when I count to three, we start running towards the door, forcing it open with this bench.. 1..2...3.. GO!"
With a loud crash the door finally gives way.
"Where is she! I want to throttle her! Keelhaul her! Hang her!" I yell at the clouds, the deck, the birds.. everything that can be yelled at.
"Lona, calm down. We're going after them, okay?" Will shushes me.
"Let's go.. NOW!" Fuming with anger I stomp towards the longboats. Stopping briefly in my march, I turn to glare at the island.
"If you even TRY to touch my boyfriend.. I'll skewer you like a shiskebab! UNDERSTOOD!" I shout at the top of my voice. When I receive no reply from the island, I nod, and jump into the boat.

"Onwards!".

-In a mysterious cave on the island-

"Jack, we're lost"
"Nah, we're not lost, I just don't know where we are at the moment. But that's only temporary"
"Yes, because at some point, we're bound to die of hunger and thirst"
"Who asked you something missy I'm-pregnant-so-I.. erhm.. erhm.. -I'm-pregnant?"
"Will you all be quiet for a minute? I can't even hear myself thinking." I whisper at the trio.
"That's because you're a woman lass, they're not designed for thinkin'. " Jack whispers back, his gold teeth glinting faintly in the dark.
"Jack?"
"Yes luv?"
"Shut up"

At the end of a tunnel a faint light is seen, and slowly we crawl towards it. The light appears to be a cave, lit by torches. In the middle of it all, I can see Barbossa/Gary digging a hole. Next to the hole, Jasper is tied to a chair, with Mary sitting on his lap, facing him.
"That little brat, I'm going to show her what I'll do with any girl who dares to touch my boyfriend like that." I hiss, my eyes narrowed.

Will grabs my ankle, stopping my from charging forward, intend on killing that little, good for nothing girl.
"As Jack always says.. wait for the opportune moment." Chloe whispers in my ear.

"Mary, there's nothing here! That old man lied to us!" Barbossa complains, shoveling another pile of dirt out of the hole.
"Why on earth would he do that? I had him wound around my little finger, he wouldn't dare lie to me," Mary giggles while she wiggles her pinkie in front of Jasper's nose, "Just keep digging, dear brother. The treasure isn't far now."
Groaning, Gary continues with his hard work.

Mary turns her full attention on Jasper again
"Now my little pet, where were we? Oh yes.. you were about to tell me that you love me, and not that filthy creature you call a girlfriend"

"THAT'S IT!" I shout, jumping up and walking towards them. I grab the pistol Gary conveniently left lying there, and point it at Mary. "You get your slimy hands off my boyfriend and crawl back under the stone you came from!" I snarl at her.
In the meanwhile, Jack and Will keep Gary under sword point, not that that's absolutely necessary, he's too exhausted to do anything. Mary isn't impressed by my action, she simply smiles again and turns around on Jasper's lap, facing me.

"Now, now dear.. don't be rash. You wouldn't kill little old me? Well.. obviously I'm not old.. but still.. you wouldn't kill.. would you?" she asks, slowly extending her hand towards my gun. I take a step back, not saying a word.
Mary shrugs and stands up from Jasper's lap. Finally.
"You know darling? I knew you wouldn't have the guts to shoot me, you can't even keep your boyfriend satisfied, I was thís close to convincing him to leave you.. you know what he said? He said I was.."
"I didn't say anything..," Jasper says, interrupting her "but I will now.. you are the most pathetic little thing I ever saw. You think everyone is jealous of you.. but they simply loathe you. Men don't like you for you, they like you for your body. I like Lona for both, sure.. she isn't a supermodel, or a rocket scientist, she isn't the most perfect creature in the world.. she isn't.."
"Jasper.. get to the point already" I interrupt, rolling my eyes.
"Oh.. right.. the point is: You will never be as good as my girl is Mary.. go see some psychiatrist with your problems, you need it"

Mary's mouth opens and closes again, she can't say a word.

Not taking any chances about her saying anything, I give her a good whack across the jaw. Causing her to fall down unconscious.. Damn.. that felt good.. Norrington will be pleased to have her in his jail. Barbossa simply watches this all, then turns to Jack.
"The map is fake, it'll be useless to you."

Jack grins his famous golden grin.
"It isn't fake, mate. Your father was a pirate, he couldn't draw a honest treasure map if his life depended on it. You just have to know how to read it." Jack grabs the map, turns it 90 degrees and starts digging. After a few minutes the shovel hits something.. it's a chest. A wooden chest. A pirate chest.

Excited with the anticipation, we all huddle together over the chest. With trembling fingers Jack opens it.. Inside the chest. we see...

Dirty laundry.. and a note:
"Dear son and daughter.. All these years I've tried to raise you as pirates, as my own flesh and blood. You denied everything I taught you. I left you a treasure map to a pirates treasure.. but since you two never wanted to be pirates.. you have no right to any PIRATE treasure.. With love.. your father"
"Well..that seems a bit childish for Barbossa" Chloe remarks.
"Yeah..well..pirate" Will says, smirking a little.

Jack, looking baffled and a little defeated, throws the clothes out of the chest, looking for anything that might be worth a little. But he finds nothing.

-Two weeks later-
Jasper and I are sitting on his couch, snuggled comfy together, watching POTC on DVD.
"Well.. everything turned out fine.. Chloe is still pregnant, she and Will are moving to a bigger house. Jack is out pillaging and plundering other ships and towns, Gary and Mary are in jail and Norrington is Commodore once again." I sigh happily when Jasper gives me a little kiss.

"Yes.. I'm glad we're all through with this little adventure" Jasper says, standing up and walking to the refrigerator to get a cold beer.
"Oh.. didn't I tell you? Chloe asked us if we could visit when the baby has arrived"
Carrying two bottles of beer, Jasper strolls back and hands me a bottle. Looking thoughtful he sits down and takes a sip.
"Yeah.. well.. that isn't a problem I think.. but first we have to do one little thing.."
"And that is?"
"Finish our Sims game of course!"

Hm.. I guess it isn't as bad as having a Sue around.. I smile and give Jasper a kiss.. he takes me in his arms and we lie down on the couch.. perhaps.. someday.. we'll have another adventure in Port Royal.. but for now, we're content enough with little adventures of our own.
--
And there you have it! I'm trying my hand on a dramatic story this time, instead of mostly humor, and in Dutch instead of English. I'll have to ask FF first, but perhaps I'll translate it to English after it's finished..

Until we meet again!

Love, Lona
