Tanoshii-garu: Sorry this took so long, my buds and me have just started school again and everything is a bit chaotic! :) Oh, and I'll change the names of my friends and me to the names that people in the story give them, once you known the names of course! Hehe, confused?
Disclaimer: We don't own Pirates of the Caribbean. But they own our souls!
We do own Liz, Sarah and Alex. MuHAHA!
Really bad eggs!
--Chapter 2--
In which they are very confused
%Sarah and Liz%
Turning around Sarah saw another bed in the room that she hadn't noticed before. Tying the precious medallion around her neck, she crept over to take a closer look. Tucked under the cover was Liz.
"Wake up sleeping beauty," chuckled Sarah, poking her friend in the ribs. She frowned when nothing happened and, sniggering, grabbed the blankets and yanked them down.
"Argh!" cried Liz, waking up. Moaning she looked up at Sarah. "You just had to do that didn't you?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes, "What are you doing in my room anyway?"
"This isn't your room Liz," said Sarah, grinning broadly and waiting for her friend to realize where they were. She didn't have to wait long.
"Hang on! Where are we??"
"Ahem," coughed Sarah, innocently holding up the pirate medallion. "Take a guess."
"W-we in pirates of the Caribbean?!?!" she chocked. And jumping up, she ran to the window. "Port Royal. It's more beautiful than in the movie!"
"Hey where's Alex?" asked Sarah, looking around.
"Knowing her, she's probably lying under her bed, as usual." Laughed Liz.
"But there are no other beds..." giggled Sarah.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a voice called. "Jade? Ruby? Are you alright? Are you decent?"
"Jade?" asked Liz
"Ruby?" questioned Sarah
They were about to ask when they realized he was coming in! Running, they grabbed their nightgowns and slipped them on.
"Sarah!" whispered Liz, "The medallion!"
Eyes widened, Sarah slipped the medallion in her dress. "It's cold!" she hissed, bitting her lip so as not to cry out.
"Yes, yes we're ready." Said Liz loudly.
Into the room walked a large man with a big puffy wig. They recognized him but still had to resist the want to pull his wig off and see if it really was infested with bugs as Alex always insisted.
"Still abed this hour?" he laughed, "It's a beautiful day and I have gifts for you." He gave them each a box, which opened to reveal two dresses.
Sarah's was a pastel pink with a flowered pattern and Liz's was a dark red with a bird-like pattern. Smiling broadly, they let the maids bustle them behind the changing doors.
"May I inquire as to the occasion?" asked Sarah, suddenly remembering her lines.
"Does a father need an occasion to dote upon his daughters?" was the reply. After a pause he added, "Actually, I, um...I had hoped you might wear it for the ceremony today."
"Ceremony?" asked Liz, wincing from the tight dress.
"Captain Norrington 's and Captain Palliod's promotion ceremony." Said their apparent 'father'.
"I knew it!" cried Liz and Sarah at the same time. But their faces showed complete and utter confusion at the name 'Captain Palliod'.
"Commodore Norrington and Palliod, as they're about to become!" said Governor Swan, proudly, "Fine gentleman, don't you think? They fancy you two, you know... How's it coming?"
"It's difficult to say," gasped Sarah, holding her ribs.
"I'm told it's the latest fashion in London." Replied Governor Swan.
"Well, women in London must've learned not to breathe!" groaned Liz.
There was another knock on the door and a servant came in. "Milord, you have a visitor." He stated. Nodding, the Governor left Sarah (Ruby) and Liz (Jade) to dress in private.
"Gin Hawkins?" asked Jack, "well welcome aboard my fine ship!"
Gin looked around, "Uh... Captain Sparrow sir? We're sinkin'!" said Gin, raising a eye-brow and grabbing a bucket.
"Righto," he replied and joined her in bailing the water out. As they rounded the cliff wall, both Captain and crewman – err – woman, turned to face 3 ghastly looking skeletons of once-upon-a-time pirates hanging from their necks. There, on a washed out sign read, "Pirates, ye been warned."
Dropping their buckets, Sparrow and Gin paid homage by saluting the limp figures.
"What can ye say?" sighed Gin. Jack guessed it wasn't really a question and didn't reply.
Despite their efforts, the boat continued to sink lower and lower and by the time they reached the harbour, Gin and Sparrow could walk straight off the mast. Luckily, Gin managed to grabbed a long, hooded cloak, which she slipped on to cover, not just the gun, but her sword as well.
Suddenly a man came running up to them, "Hey! Hold up, there, you. It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock!" All three looked at the sunken wreckage. "And I shall need to know your names."
"What d'ye say to three shillings... and we forget the names?" asked Jack, waving the coins in the harbourmaster's face.
"Welcome to Port Royal, Mr and Mrs Smith." And, like the greedy person you could see he was, the man grabbed the coins and bustled his little servant away.
As they passed by the docking books, Gin happily swiped the Harbour masters purse and slipped it in her sash.
