I finally put up another chapter. Yes, yes I know it took me long enough but I've been busy with county fair junk and my birthday and all that good stuff.
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah same old stuff as always. I own me, Jeanne owns herself, and Disney owns all the rest.
Jeanne and Melissa stood on the deck of the Pearl watching Jack and Gibbs converse at the helm. It was obvious that this day was still promising more adventure to be had. Fortunately though Melissa was too excited to be tired unlike Jeanne.
"So what's supposedly going to happen now?" Jeanne said with a yawn.
"Well I bet ya that the captain is discussing whether or not they shall attempt to attack the ship. If he thinks that we can take the merchant vessel then we've got a little adventure on our hands." Finally, Melissa thought, watching the history channel so much will come in handy, who ever said that you don't learn anything from TV?
Noticing that the captain was approaching them, having finished his conversation with Gibbs, Melissa and Jeanne cut their talk short.
"Ye two are welcome to do as you wish just don't get in the way." Jack said with a matter of fact tone.
"So I'm assuming that we'll be boarding the merchant ship then." Melissa stated pointing out the obvious.
"Of course love." Jack added as he walked off.
Taking Jack's advice the two stayed back and watched the proceedings. The merchant craft seemed to be British and therefore a British flag was raised on the Black Pearl. The Pearl crept closer to her prey stalking it from a slight distance. Once within firing range the flag was brought down and the Jolly Roger made his appearance.
"C'mon." Melissa whispered to Jeanne as she headed for the crow's nest. Jeanne began to protest but before she could convince her friend out of the foolish act Melissa was already climbing the rigging. With a flustered sigh Jeanne reluctantly followed. Atop the crow's nest Melissa and Jeanne watched as the crew was preparing to board.
"This is so much better than watching the history channel!" remarked Melissa.
The victim's ship had been secured and now the crew interrogated. Luckily this was a practically unarmed vessel. There were a few scuffles here and there but nothing too difficult. Jeanne looked around noticing that her friend was nowhere to be seen Oh shit! What has she done now! But within a couple of minutes she spotted her friend aboard the Pearl waving to her and she was carrying something.
Climbing down the rigging with some difficulty she met her friend.
"Here this is for you." Melissa said handing Jeanne some of the bundle she was carrying.
"Where did find these?" Jeanne asked referring to the clothes just offered to her.
"I thought our little merchant friends wouldn't mind if we took some of their wares. After all we can't have a pirate adventure in our pajamas and plus people keep staring, it's kind of awkward. Now we just have to find a place to change."
"It smells like pig shit down here!" Jeanne commented as they made their way below deck.
"I could explain it all to you why with the bilges and stuff. But I think you rather wouldn't want to know." said Melissa, being her usual smart ass self.
The two eventually found a storage room of a sort and changed into their new pirate garb.
Emerging onto the above deck it appeared as though the raid had gone as planned. Moving out of the way of the looters Melissa and Jeanne spotted some unfamiliar faces. Apparently some of the merchant sailors had joined the crew and the opposing ship had left.
"You two!" they heard some one shout at them. When they turned around to meet the voice it turned out to be Gibbs. "The captain wishes to have a word with ye."
