Meanwhile, Madeleine was sweltering in the Caribbean heat at the fort.
"Wow, this is even more boring than Mrs. River's Biology class," she thought to herself, fanning herself with her hand. Elizabeth continued to fan herself using an elegant wooden fan and pull and tug on her dress a little bit, trying to help her lungs breath a little bit. Suddenly, a trumpet rang out signaling the end of the ceremony.
"FINALLY!" Madeleine declared under her breath. As all of the attendees began to mill about the fort, the new commodore approached the two young women.
"May I have a moment?" He asked Elizabeth. She gave a quick, fake smile. As he began to walk to the edge of the fort, Elizabeth anxiously signaled Madeleine to follow her. Even after taking a few steps, Madeleine could tell that Elizabeth was desperately out of breath. She smirked. Once they had reached the edge, lack of oxygen forced Elizabeth to fan herself more rapidly and lean against the wall.
"Er, you look lovely," Norrington mentioned. Elizabeth faked another smile as her situation became more desperate.
"I apologize if I seem forward, but I must speak my mind," Norrington began. "Er, this promotion throws in to sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved, the marriage to a fine woman." He turned to face Elizabeth. "You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth."
"I can't breath," Elizabeth said breathlessly. Norrington turned to face the ocean again. Elizabeth fell of the fort like a limp doll. Madeleine tried to restrain herself from laughing.
"Elizabeth?" Norrington said, confused. He looked at Madeleine.
"Uh…me neither!" She said and jumped off the fort.
"Please don't hit the rocks, please don't hit the rocks," Madeleine thought to herself. Thankfully, she also dodged the rocks when she hit the water. Norrington followed Madeleine's body and realized that Elizabeth had also fallen.
"ELIZABETH!" He screamed. He began to take of his coat and make the jump to save her, but Lt. Gillette stopped him before he had a chance.
"Sir, the rocks! It's a miracle they missed them!"
"Come quickly," Norrington muttered, putting his jacket back on and began running as fast as possible to reach the dock as soon as he and his men could.
Yeah, yeah, anti-climactic ending, but it was the best place to pause the story so we could merge the two girls' stories together. Please READ and REVIEW!
