For the next two hours, Megan and Tawny set about trying to get the Pirates crew to look at least halfway decent for their Wal-Mart outing. Elizabeth was no problem. All she had to do was take a shower and put on clothes borrowed from Tawny. The men, however, were another story. Megan was currently searching the whole house trying to find Jack, who was refusing to bathe. Beckett had dressed in what they had given him but refused to give up his wig for a baseball cap and Norrington scoffed at the baggy jeans Tawny had presented him with.

"If I may ask, who wore this last? An elephant?" he asked.

"No. My ex-boyfriend. I kicked him out last week," replied Tawny, still trying to snatch the wig off of Beckett's head. Beckett glared and swatted her hand away with a couch cushion.

"I'm not wearing these," protested Norrington. Tawny sent him an icy glare.

"You will." The glare didn't faze him one bit.

"I will not."

"You will."

"I will not."

"You will!"

"I will not!"

"You will, or you're wearing a dress!" yelled Tawny. Norrington sighed and picked up the pair of jeans. He sent her a glare on his way out as he went to go shower and change. Elizabeth emerged from Tawny's room wearing a blue denim knee-length skirt and a black T-shirt that said Hollywood across the chest. Tawny grinned at Elizabeth's expression of discomfort and successfully snatched the wig from Beckett as he was checking out Elizabeth's legs. Beckett gave a cry of protest and started chasing Tawny around the living room. Megan came down the attic not having found Jack and observed the scene with a raised eyebrow.

All of a sudden they heard a loud yell come from Tawny's bedroom and everyone froze and looked toward the noise. Jack Sparrow came into view, running for his life and chasing after him was a freshly showered and shirtless Norrington. There was a moment when all three girls' eyebrows raised appreciatively, and then they all ran to stop Norrington from trying to shoot Jack with a hair dryer. Jack was backed into a corner with his arms in front of him for defense.

"Parlay?" he asked timidly. Norrington grinned and aimed the hair dryer straight at Jack's heart.

"I've been waiting for this day," he said.

"That's not a gun, you idiot!" yelled Tawny, whacking Norrington repeatedly with Beckett's wig.

"James, please, stop it!" begged Elizabeth. Norrington glanced at her and then surrendered the hair dryer to Megan.

"I believe he may have seen you changing, Elizabeth," he growled. "He was hiding in the closet." Elizabeth's eyes widened and then her expression changed to anger. She stormed over to Jack and smacked him across the face. Tawny bit her lip, trying not to laugh as Elizabeth started yelling at him. She turned to Norrington.

"So I see you've been putting in a few hours in the gym," she said, fluttering her eyelashes. He frowned at her in confusion.

"Excuse me?" Tawny giggled and put a hand on his chest.

"Can I call you James?" Norrington quickly pulled away from Tawny's grasp.

"No…Excuse me, but I have a need to put on more clothing." Norrington scurried away and shut himself in Tawny's room. Meanwhile, Megan and Elizabeth were trying to wrestle Jack into the bathtub as an amused Beckett looked on.

"You know, you could try helping us instead of just sitting there!" grunted Megan as Jack tried poking her with his elbow. Beckett turned up his nose.

"I'd rather not."

"ARRGH!" yelled Megan, starting to lose her cool. "Jack, get in the bathtub now!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"I have peanuts!" Jack stopped struggling and grinned at her.

"I'm listenin', love."

"Good. You take a shower and change into the clothes we gave you, and I will give you peanuts afterwards. Savvy?" said Megan.

"I'm starting to like you, love, but savvy is my word," said Jack. "Savvy?" Megan broke into one of her rare grins.

"Whatever, Jack." Everyone except Jack filed out of the bathroom and gaped at Tawny, who was trying to spy on Norrington through her keyhole.

"To the right, precious," Tawny was muttering. "Step to the right. The right!"

"Tawny, you perv!" said Megan. She pulled Tawny away from the door. "You should be labeled as a sex offender!"

"You and Elizabeth were checking him out, too!" scoffed Tawny.

"Yes, but we weren't trying to spy on him through a keyhole!" retorted Megan.

"Ladies, ladies!" said Beckett, coming between them. "We mustn't bicker over such trivial things."

"Can it, shorty," snapped Tawny. "And look, you've tucked your shirt into your pants!" Beckett looked thoroughly startled when she started pulling his shirt out of his pants, although he didn't protest.

Megan rapped on the door to Tawny's room.

"James, come out right now! It does not take that long to put on a shirt," she said.

"Which one are you?" came Norrington's voice form the other side of the door.

"It's Megan. Don't worry, we've got Tawny on a leash." Tawny glared at her friend. Norrington cautiously stepped out and only relaxed when Tawny made no immediate signs of trying to jump on him.

"Jack, hurry up!" said Tawny, knocking on the bathroom door. To everyone's surprise, the door opened right away, revealing Jack, who was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a gray shirt. He held up a small bottle of clear liquid.

"What is K-Y Jel—?" Jack started to ask, but Tawny snatched the bottle from Jack, threw it randomly into the bathroom and shut the door. Tawny glared at everyone, blushing furiously. Megan looked shocked and was making involuntary gagging noises.

"Ready, everyone?" said Tawny through clenched teeth. "Let's go.

The ride to Wal-Mart was anything but uneventful. Elizabeth screeched every time a car horn sounded (Tawny was a terrible driver) and every time they stopped at a traffic light one of the men would say, "What are you waiting for? Move!" Jack even tried to push Norrington out of the van, but couldn't get the door open because Tawny had put on the child-proof lock.

"That was interesting," muttered Megan as they got out of the van. Jack started to wander off, but Tawny caught a hold of his arm. As soon as they walked into the store, Tawny went off with Jack and Elizabeth and Megan stayed with Norrington and Beckett. The two teens bought the four two outfits each along with a few necessities. When they got back home, Tawny pulled Megan aside.

"Meggie," said Tawny. "I'm about to ask you the biggest favor ever.

"You're asking me to watch over them tonight."

"Yes, but only because I have work early in the morning and you're a jobless hobo." Tawny turned to the others who were still getting out of the van. "Okay, everybody, into the car because you're going home with Megan tonight! Toodles!"

"Hold on," said Megan. "You want me to take them now?"

"Would you?" asked Tawny, putting on puppy dog eyes. Megan sighed.

"Fine," she said. "But you owe me one." Tawny pranced into her house leaving Megan to usher everyone into her car. Norrington sat in the front and Beckett, Elizabeth and Jack sat in the back. Once they arrived at her house, they debated over the sleeping arrangements. Megan decided that Elizabeth should get the guest room and the men could sleep on air mattresses in the loft. Jack declined and said that he would rather sleep on the couch in the living room. Megan showed everyone around the house and turned on the TV in the livingroom for them to watch.

"Alright," said Megan when everything was settled. "Country fried steak and mashed potatoes for dinner!" She pranced into the kitchen to start cooking.

Little did she know that the others were a bit preoccupied staring at the person who had just appeared in the middle of the living room.
