--Ruby – Jade--

Ruby and Jade stepped out off the carriage and followed Governor Swann through the Fort and into a large open square, where soldiers were lined up and crowds gathered at the sides. Finding a space to watch, the girls pulled out their fans and concentrated on breathing in the hot, tight dresses.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, trumpets blew and Norrington came walking through an arch of swords. There was also another man who was dressed the same and walked right next to Norrington. Ruby and Jade took a wild guess and figured it was Palliod. They walked to the head of the square and were presented with the specially crafted swords. Everyone gathered around the newly made commodores, congratulating and praising them. The girls took this distraction to try and make a quick get away.

"Let's go Sarah," murmured Jade, walking away.

"Yeah, but where to?" questioned Ruby, "Oh, how about those battlements that we're meant to fall off?"

Jade nodded and they headed in that direction. Suddenly they heard voices and footfalls behind them.

"Ruby! Jade! Wait!"

The girls groaned inwardly and plastered fake smiles on their faces as they turned to face the to people running up to them.

"Um Ruby," Murmured Norrington, "May I have a moment?"

Reluctantly, Ruby nodded and followed Norrington up onto the battlements. Jade also gulped a little as she turned to face the overly eager Palliod.

Ruby and Norrington stepped onto the platform and Ruby fanned herself hastily as she tried to catch her breath, the dresses really were horridly tight.

"Uh, you look lovely, Ruby." Smiled Norrington. Ruby, still fanning herself, chuckled softly and half-heartedly. Taking this as an invitation, Norrington continued. "I, uh, apologize if I seem forward, but I... must speak my mind."

Ruby was disgusted, this man that was old enough to be her father was proposing to her. In a desperate attempt to stop the overflow of words, Ruby croaked, "I can't breathe." Than, saying a silent prayer, she took a deep breath and fell.

"Yes, I... I'm a bit nervous myself." Said Norrington when suddenly he heard a splash. "Ruby? RUBY!! My God!" Panicking, he made to jump in after her.

A man named Gillette grabbed him, "The rocks!" he cried, "Sir, it's a miracle she missed them!"

Suddenly there was a whoosh of cloth and a cry of "SARAH!!" the next thing anyone knew, Jade had leapt off the battlements after her sister.

"JADE!" screamed Palliod, running up. "Hurry, to the docks!" he cried at Norrington, before running in that direction himself.

--Gin-- WVWVWVWVW

"...and then they made me their chief." Finished Jack. Gin sat in amazement; she couldn't wait to tell Sarah and Liz how Jack really HAD become the captain of the Pearl.

Suddenly there was a distant scream and a splash. Gin, Jack and the two guards looked up just in time to see two people hit the water.

"Will you be saving them then?" asked Jack, rather casually.

"I can't swim." Cried Mullroy.

Jack glanced at Murtogg who stared back at him and quickly shook his head.

"Pride of the King's Navy you are." Growled Jack, taking off his effects. Gin did the same. They both handed the guards their effects. "Do not lose these!" And together, they dived in.

As they were gone the water rippled suddenly and the wind changed direction.

"What was that?" asked Murtogg suspiciously. Mullroy just shrugged his shoulders.

While underwater, Gin swam as fast as she could to keep up with Jack. All the while praying her hardest that there were no sharks around, she had a huge fear of sharks. Finally they spotted the floating figures in the crystal clear waters and headed towards them. Gin swam lower, aiming for the girl that had already hit the bottom while Jack swam for the other one who was further off. Grabbing the limp body, Gin didn't bother to look at her face, instead she quickly removed the heavy dress and swam upwards as fast as she could. When she got to the surface she saw Jack struggling with the other girl.

"The dress!" cried Gin, "It's too heavy get rid of it!"

Knowing Jack would be right behind, she began swimming to the docks, the only thing on her mind was to get out of the water.

"Ooh, I got her!" heaved Mullroy, as Gin pushed the girl (whom she thought was Elizabeth Swann) onto the docks. Jack did the same and Murtogg helped him.

"They're not breathing!" panicked the guards.

"Move!" groaned Jack, pushing them out of the way. In two quick movements, he cut both corsets and pushed the girls on their side so they could cough up the water.

"Never would've thought of that." Said Mullroy.

"Clearly you've never been to Singapore" replied Jack. But he was distracted by a glimmer on the first girl's neck. Spotting the medallion, he picked it up. "Where did you get that?"

Gin however had finally got the stinging water out of her eyes and came over to help Jack. Seeing the faces of the girls she froze in shock. But before she could make a noise, cold steel was pressed into her neck. She looked up to see a man that looked a bit like Norrington but different, with a sword pressed at her throat. The real Norrington had his own sword facing Jack.

"On your feet!" he commanded the pirate. Jack obeyed, throwing a quick glance at Gin who just shrugged.

"Are you alright?" asked Governor Swann, helping his daughters up and wrapping sheets around them.

"I'm fine," murmured Ruby, tucking the medallion away.

"Me too," said Jade.

Governor Swann saw Murtogg holding the girls corsets and raised his eyebrows in disgusted. Hurriedly, Murtogg dropped the offending clothing and pointed at Jack.

Governor Swann looked over at Jack. "Shoot him!"

"Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?" cried Jade.

Frowning slightly, Norrington put away his sword and offered his hand to Jack, "I believe thanks are in order."

After a moment, Palliod also did the same. Hesitantly Gin and Jack took the offered hands only to have their sleeves pushed up to reveal the 'P' on their wrists.

"Had a brush with the East India Trading company, did we, pirate?" grinned Norrington.

"Cripes!" cried Gin, staring at the mark. "That must have hurt!"

Jack raised an eyebrow at her as she traced the mark burnt into her skin.

"Hang them!" ordered Governor Swann, grinning manically. Jade and Ruby suddenly seemed to notice the other pirate.

"ALEX?!" cried Ruby, eyes wide.

Gin looked at her friend in surprise, also keeping a careful watch on Jack who had a suspicious look on his face.

"Who?" asked Gin. Her voice was innocent, but her eyes held her friends, pleading her to be silent.

"I-I'm sorry," stuttered Ruby, "I thought she was someone I knew..."

Gin smiled, Sarah always had been a good actress.

"It is probably just the aftershock," comforted Norrington before turning back to Jack and Gin. "Keep your guns on them men. Gillette, fetch some irons."

As the other man left, Palliod caught sight of Jack's tattoo. "Well, well... Jack Sparrow, isn't it?"

Jack looked indignant, "Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir."

"Well, I don't see your ship...Captain." Scoffed Norrington.

"I'm in the market as it were." Replied Jack, causally.

Murtogg found this as the perfect chance to speak up, "He said he'd come to commandeer one."

"Told ya he was telling the truth." hissed Mullroy, "These are theirs, sir." He added, handing over Jack and Gin's effects.

Norrington ignored Gin's stuff and went into Jacks, "No additional shots nor powder. A compass that doesn't point north." He pulled out Jack's sword, "And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of."

"But you HAVE heard of him!" smirked Gin. Norrington threw an irritated look before indicating they both be taken away.

"Commodore, I really must protest!" said Jade, pushing forward, followed by Ruby.

"Carefully, Lieutenant." Ordered Palliod, ignoring the girl's protests.

"Pirates or not, these people saved our lives!" stated Ruby, standing in front of Gin.

Norrington sighed and looked at her, "One good deed is not enough to redeem a man-"

"Or woman!" frowned Gin

Norrington raised an eyebrow, "-or woman of a lifetime of wickedness."

"Though it seems enough to condemn him." Growled Jack, "or her." He added, seeing the look Gin threw him.

"Indeed." Sniffed Norrington. Gillette and the other guards finished chaining the two and moved away.

"Finally!" cried Jack, throwing his irons around Jade's neck. Gin, grinning wildly, had already grabbed Ruby.

Panicking, the guards pulled out their guns.

"No, don't shoot!" yelled Governor Swann, waving his hands about.

Jack smirked, "I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat. Oh and my mate's effects too. Commodore!"

Meanwhile, Gin whispered quietly to Ruby. "Hey Sarah, you and Liz are here too eh?"

Ruby opened her mouth to answer but Gin interrupted her, "Shh, don't say anything. I've told Jack my name's Gin Hawkins and I've got amnesia."

"So like you," giggled Ruby, shaking her head.

Gin Smiled. "Yes so, it looks like we'll just have to go along with the story. That'll be interesting won't it? Grab my stuff would you?"

"A blast I'm sure," groaned Ruby, helping Gin get her gear on while trying to look indignant.

"Jade. It is Jade isn't it?" asked Jack

"It's Miss Swann," replied Jade.

Jack grinned. "Well Miss Swann, if you'd be so kind. Come, come, dear, we don't have all day."

Jade grabbed Jack's things from Norrington, before Jack made her turn around.

Jack's grin widened, "Now if you'd be very kind."

Jade hissed and strapped on his sword

"Easy on the goods, darling." Murmured Jack, causing Jade to blush crimson as she shoved his hat, none to carefully, onto his head. Jack laughed before whispering, "your really quite a beauty when your mad."

Jade looked at him wide-eyed and smiled a little. Suddenly she remembered her part and the smile quickly vanished, "You're despicable." She frowned.

Jack shrugged, "Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you save mine, we're square." With that he turned Jade around and caught Gin's eye.

Gin nodded very slightly. "Speaking of blasts, I believe this is my queue. Have fun with your Ollie," she whispered to Ruby.

"Gentlemen, m'lady," called Jack, taking a step back. "You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!"

"and friend," Gin added.

Hurriedly, they pushed Jade and Ruby into the soldiers as Jack hit a release catch and grabbed onto the swinging rope. Gin managed to grab his legs just as they went flying.

"NOW WILL YOU SHOOT HIM?" cried Governor Swann, holding tightly to his daughters.

"Open fire!" cried Norrington and Palliod at the same time.

Gin's cries were cut short as bullets came whizzing past.

"Watch it! You nearly hit me!" she cried, fear muddling her thoughts.

"Hold tight!" cried Jack. As the board swung around a third time, he jumped and threw his chains about rope and slide down to the ground, dropping with a thud.

"Run!!" he cried, as he and Gin dodged bullets as they ran across the bridge.

Palliod watched them run, "Gillette," he called.

"Yes sir?" asked Gillette.

"Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it."

"Yes sir!" saluted Gillette before calling to his troops and going after the pirates.

"And so the chase begins," whispered Jade.

"Yes, Godspeed to them," smiled Ruby, "...but what's going to happen when they find Will?"
