Tanoshii-garu: I don't think I'll quite make the jail cell part but I'll make up for it in chapter 4! Hehe, hope you like it!

Chapter 3: In which we don't get to where I said but still have fun anyway.

-- Sarah (Ruby) – Liz (Jade) --

Sighing lovingly as she watched her favorite actor twirl the sword around, Ruby took her queue and made her way down the stairs. Jade followed close behind laughing silently at her friend's obsession.

Governor Swann looked up at them and smiled. "Oh, Ruby, Jade you both look absolutely stunning!"

Ruby, half running–half flying, came to stand by the blushing Will Turner. "Will!" she grinned, "It's so good to see you. I had a dream about you last night!"

"About me?" asked Will, going an even deeper shade of red and causing Jade to hid a smile behind her hand and Governor Swann to frown deeply.

"Yes, well, is that entirely proper for you to...?"

"About the day we met, do you remember?" interrupted Ruby, feeling like kicking the Governor. Hard.

Will relaxed "How could I forget, Miss Swann?"

"Than Will, how many times must I ask you to call me S- Ruby?" asked Ruby, stumbling over the new name.

"At least once more, Miss Swann, as always." Said Will, mournfully.

Governor Swann seemed to have had enough of this and quickly butted in. "There. See? At least the boy has a sense of propriety. Now, we really must be going." He gave Ruby and Jade a parasol each and ushered them out the door.

"Good day, Mr. Turner" said Ruby trying to look angry with him and failing miserably. Jade covered her and scowled at Will.

Will quickly followed them out the door. "Good day..." he cried as the girls and the Governor exited in a carriage with Will trailing after them,

"Ruby." He added quietly.

-- Alex (Gin) --

Gin followed Jack through the ports, all the while staring wide-eyed at the huge ships. She loved boats.

"Stop gawping" said Jack, "your attracting attention!" Gin looked at him critically wondering if he seriously thought his outfit was really "disguise" worthy.

Suddenly Jack stopped and looked at Gin, "Who are you anyway?"

Gin opened her mouth to answer than quickly thought better of it. "What am I to say?" she thought frantically, "I'm a girl who cracked open a fortune cooking in her math class only to find myself drowning in the Caribbean ocean? And oh by the way my real name's Alex and your just a character in a movie?!" Jack raised an eyebrow, waiting for her answer.

"I don't know, I can't remember." Gin finished lamely, thinking quickly she added. "But I remember you! That's gotta count for something?"

Jack nodded and they continued. Finally they arrived at the anchorage of the interceptor.

Right on queue, the two guards stood in front of them. Gin grinned stupidly, she loved these characters, they made her laugh.

"This dock is off limits to civilians." Said the light-haired one (Murtogg, for those of you who don't know)

"I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know." Said Jack, "If I see one, I shall inform you immediately." He tried to walk around them but was thwarted.

Gin, who was dieing for these guys to start their little argument, stole Jack's line. "Apparently there's some sort of high toned and fancy to do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?" Seeing they were staring at her exposed leg, or more so the gun attached to her leg, she wrapped the long cloak over it.

Murtogg shook as her question reached his brain. "Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians."

"It's a fine goal to be sure," nodded Jack, "but it seems to me that a ship like that-" he pointed out the Dauntless "-makes this one here a bit superfluous, really."

"Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough, but there's no ship as can match the Interceptor for speed." said Murtogg, straightening.

"I've heard of one," smiled Jack, "supposed to be very fast – nigh un-catchable..."

"The black Pearl." Said Gin thoughtfully, completely forgetting she wasn't meant to know. Jack looked at her but didn't comment.

The dark-haired one (Mullroy) sniggered. "Well...there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor."

"The Black Pearl is a real ship." Frowned Murtogg.

"No, no it's not." Said Mullroy, a-matter-of-factly.

"Yes, it is, I've seen it."

"You've seen it?"

Gin bit her lip to stopped from bursting out laughing.

"Yes."

"You haven't seen it."

"Yes, I have."

Mullroy took one a smug tone, "You've seen a ship with black sails, that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?"

"No." said Murtogg, looking a little unsure of himself.

"No." finished Mullroy.

"But I have seen a ship with black sails." Added Murtogg, in a last attempt. Jack grabbed Gin and dragged her onto the ship as the soldiers bantered.

"Lucky we have those two numbskulls guarding this boat." Said Jack, testing the wheel.

"Yeah," chuckled Gin as she watched them, "they're bloody hilarious!"

"Oh, and no ship that's not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl. Is that what you're saying?" growled Mullroy.

Murtogg nodded, "No." he smiled looking extremely confused.

Mullroy straightened proudly, "Like I said, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor..." he stopped short when he noticed Jack and Gin at the wheel of the Interceptor.

"Hey! You! Get away from there." Cried Murtogg, running up.

"You don't have permission to be aboard there, mate." Said Mullroy, waving his gun/spear/thingy. (A/N: what are they called?)

"I'm sorry," said Jack, "it's just - it's such a pretty boat."

"Ship," corrected Gin

"What's your name?" asked Murtogg suspiciously.

"Smith." Answered Jack, "Or Smithy, if you like."

"I like Smithers," said Gin thoughtfully.

Mullroy ignored her, "What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?"

"Yeah. And no lies." Added Murtogg as he tried to keep an eye on both Jack as well as Gin who, a little disgruntled at being ignored, was hanging freely on the ropes, upside down.

Jack looked at Gin who just shrugged. "Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out!" he pointed to Gin, "and she just doesn't remember who she is."

"I said no lies!" cried Murtogg looking shocked.

"I think he's telling the truth." Murmured Mullroy, equally shocked.

Murtogg put down his weapon as stared at his friend. "If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us."

Gin (sick of being ignored) intervened, "Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you." She smiled at the blank looks on the soldier's faces.

-- Ruby – Jade --

The carriage bumped slowly along the road as Governor Swann yakked on about how wonderful "Commodore" Norrington and Palliod. Ruby and Jade stared out the windows, ignoring him completely. After what seemed like a lifetime of trying to stay still in the jolting carriage, they finally arrived at the battlements and the girls (terribly sore bummed) stepped out.

Tanoshii-garu: That's all me hearties, yo ho yo ho,

And off to sleep now, I go I go.

To face my bed or mum's wrath instead?

Rest my head, rest my head

Goodnight.

(not bad if I do say so myself!)
