A couple hours after sunrise, Maddie woke up feeling calm and rested. She slowly sat up and looked around. She was lying in the sand about ten feet away from the edge of the water. Beth was sprawled out on her stomach a few feet away. Maddie grinned. Jack was about twenty feet on the other side of Beth. Suddenly, Maddie sniffed the air and smelled the vague scent of alcohol burning. She quickly stood up and started running over to the grassy center of the island. She saw Lizzie dragging some of the crates of rum out of the cache and putting them in the stack of crates she had already put together. She had let one of them alight, recently from the size of the flame, and it was growing rapidly. Lizzie saw her approaching.

"Oh good, you can help," She said. "I could really use a hand."

"Uh, sorry, but I'd rather the cause of my death be something besides being murdered by my best friend," Maddie laughed.

"Suit yourself, but I want to save Will," Lizzie muttered.

"Yeah, good luck with that," Maddie started walking back to the beach where Beth and Jack were. She started braiding a little strand of hair and waited until the other two woke up. She figured it couldn't be much longer, because all of the crates of rum had been dragged out, and the sound of the crates crashing into the fire became louder and louder. Soon, the fire was so high that the tops of the palm trees were starting to go up in flames. After about thirty minutes or so, Beth started to sit up groggily. She yawned.

"What's going on? What's burning? Where am I?" Beth slowly opened her eyes and remembered where they were.

"Coolness, you're awake," Maddie said. Beth laughed. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she realized what was going on.

"NO!" She yelled and started running over to the center of the island. At the sound of this, they noticed Jack start to get up. He stood up and started to flail his arms around.

"Not good! Not good! You burned all the food, the shade, the RUM!" He yelled.

"YES! The rum is gone!" Lizzie said to him, loudly and triumphantly.

"Why is the rum gone?" Jack and Beth both demanded. Maddie slipped behind Lizzie.

"One: because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable gentlemen in to complete scoundrels!" Lizzie ranted. Maddie mimicked her behind her back sticking her tongue out at her every now and then. Beth tried to suppress giggling once or twice. Jack seemed more interested in what Lizzie was actually saying.

"Two: that signal is over a thousand feet high! The ENTIRE royal navy is out looking for me, do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they won't see it?!?"

"But why is the RUM gone?" Jack demanded, looking extremely worried. Beth and Maddie each picked up an empty bottle of rum that was lying on the beach a few feet away.

"Just wait Captain Sparrow!" Lizzie declared. "Give it one hour, maybe two, and you will see white sails on that horizon!" Jack held up his gun and the girls their bottles threateningly. Suddenly, Jack pulled himself together and started strutting to the other side of the island. Maddie groaned and followed him. Beth, on the other hand, started beating Lizzie on the shoulder. Lizzie pulled the bottle out of Beth's hands and threw it on the sand. Beth picked it up, hit the older girl one more time for good measure, and flipped her off behind her before chasing after Maddie and Jack.

"Must've been terrible for you, Jack! Must've been terrible…well it bloody is now!" Jack yelled.

"It's all right, Jack! You've still got us! Lizzie's a biatch anyway" Beth said, putting her arm around Jack in an attempt to cheer him up.

"Ooh, a ship!" Maddie said, pointing. Jack slumped.

"There'll be no living with her after this."

Okay people! What'd'ya think? Sorry it took so long for another update, but Emma's got exams coming up really soon (duh duh duh!) and Bizzy's going to WDW tomorrow! YAY PIRATES DVD OUT TODAY! TIS THE MOST AWESOME THING! AND THAT MEANS THE SEQUEL TO THIS LOVELY STORY! If you review, we'll PM you the title of our sequel, we've already picked it out. We're just trying to decide on a few final details. Emma had an idea of how Maddie and Beth are kind of different, but are still both really cool. Maddie is almost Katara/Susan, and Beth is more Toph/Lucy. Kind of, sort of, in a way, but those are the analogies. Two final notes: PLEASE review, and Orlando Bloom is GORGEOUS!
