Yay another chapter! Don't be so excited...jk. Anyway here's another one for the couple of you that actually read this story. We will be running into some familier characters in this chapter so I deeply apologize if they seem out of character...does it sound like I apologize a lot? I do. :)

Disclaimer: You would think one would be enough...well I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean or it's characters (duh!) but everyone that you don't recognize from Pirates I probably own.

Happy Reading!

Chapter 5: Prison

Swimmer lay with her back on the wooden bench and her feet straight up on the wall of the cell she was in. The rock was cool around her and she crossed her arms behind her head and sighed. She had been in the prison cell for at least 5 hours, and the sky was beginning to darken. Her stomach grumbled from having gotten no food since she was caught, and her body ached from not being able to move around as freely as she would've liked. She was the only occupant of the whole jail, except for the jailer on the floor above, and Swimmer was feeling more bored then she had on the ship. She sighed again and heard a chuckle.

"Are you that bored, little pirate?" Swimmer turned her head and nearly fell off the bench as she caught sight of Mac standing outside her cell.

"Mac! What are you doing here?" She asked, dropping her feet and sitting up straight.

"The ship finally made it into the port. And I heard from a little bird that a certain girl had been caught swimming in the port, ran from the law, climbed a house, jumped off a roof, interrupted a ceremony, dueled and beat the Commodore, and then was taken to jail before she could do anymore harm." Mac cocked an eye at her. "How do you manage to get into that much trouble in such a short time?"

Swimmer shrugged. "It's my gift and my curse." She looked around the cell. "So…are you gonna get me out?"

Mac's mouth twitched. "I contemplated leaving you here to rot, or at least until you turned a little green and learned your lesson."

"I've learned it." Swimmer broke in. "No jumping off ships and embarrassing the Commodore when he's getting a medal."

Mac rolled his eyes. "Listing and learning are not the same." He informed her. "You need to learn-"

"I have!" Swimmer interjected, putting her hands on the cold iron bars. "Lesson learned, punishment fulfilled. I've been in here for five hours. Five hours Mac! With nowhere to go and nothing to do." She looked at him. "Come on I said I was sorry!"

"No, Swimmer you didn't."

"Well I'm saying it now. Come on Mac! You know how I hate being cooped up in a cold cell!"

"All right. I'm getting you out." Mac finally replied.

Swimmer breathed out a sigh, then stopped. "Wait….getting? As in doing it…right now? How? You're standing here talking to me." She sputtered.

"Keeping you occupied." Mac volunteered.

"While we negotiated." A female voice came from the other side. Swimmer turned and stared at the woman and man who stepped up. Both tall and slender, dressed in fine Sunday clothes with their hair and faces washed. They must've come from the ceremony, thought Swimmer. Pity I ruined it, she grinned at the memory.

"Who are you?" Swimmer asked.

"Lovely manners." Murmured the man. "Will Turner." He added.

"Elizabeth Swann."

Swimmer's eyes widened, and she stared at them then at Mac. Mac laughed. "I haven't seen you that surprised since you got that rat you call an otter. And speaking of an otter…" Mac nodded his head and Swimmer looked in time to see Skip leap out of Elizabeth's arms, crawl through the bars of the cell, and find his way to perch on Swimmer's shoulder.

"Nice to see you too." She smiled roughly as Skip crooned at her. Swimmer turned her eyes back to the two newcomers and cocked an interested eye. "Will and Elizabeth….you're breaking me out of jail? I thought you'd put your pirate sides behind you."

Elizabeth gave her a sarcastic look and stepped over to the cell, pulled out a ring of keys and unlocked the door. She pulled it and it swung open, leaving Swimmer staring at the opening.

"That's it?" She asked, looking at each of them. "You just take out some keys and unlock the door?"

"What would you have preferred?" questioned Will half interested. "Us break you out?"

"Well uh yeah!" Swimmer turned and bounded over to the bench inside the cell and hopped up, facing them, arms spread. "You just take out some keys? Where's the fun?"

"I thought you wanted to get out of jail." Mac stated blandly.

"I do…but a little excitement wouldn't be objected to." Swimmer informed him. "I mean…you could've knocked out the soldier upstairs and come and ripped the bars off…or blown out the outside wall with a cannon. Honestly you have no imagination." She concluded, staring at them.

"Is she always like this?" Will asked Mac.

"Sadly." Mac nodded.

"And what does the Commodore have to say about this?" Questioned Swimmer, her hands on her hips. "I mean I know how much he likes me and I'm guessing he was jumping hoops at the prospect of me getting out of jail and out of a hanging." She cocked an eye. "At least…I'm assuming I'm getting out of the hanging he planned."

"There'll be no hanging for you, at least until you get into more trouble." Will promised.

"And the Commodore was not happy about letting you out." Elizabeth assured her, smiling slightly. "In fact he was beside himself with fury."

"Well that brightens my day." Swimmer interjected.

"He was very against the idea." Mac told her, narrowing his eyes a little. "It took a lot to convince him."

"Oh?" Swimmer leaned against the wall. "Like what?"

"Like you'd stay under our supervision, so you couldn't cause anymore trouble." Will said firmly.

"And if you did cause trouble it would be right back into jail and on the waiting list for a noose." Mac added sternly.

Swimmer mocked fear. "Well I'll be sure to toe the line then."

"Swimmer." Mac warned. "This is serious. You have to act…well not like a pirate for one thing. Unless you want to be thrown back into this small cell."

"Well you know that answer to that." Swimmer jumped down from the bench and walked to the opened cell door and leaned on the bars. "But the Commodore doesn't let just anyone talk him into releasing a prisoner."

Elizabeth smiled at her. "There are certain advantages to being the Governor's daughter."

Swimmer eyes raised and a smile crept on her face. "Interesting method." She replied. She looked around. "So…where are we going?"

"To the Governor's Mansion." Mac said slowly.

"And….how are we getting there?"

"There's a carriage outside." Elizabeth answered.

Swimmer looked at them. "Then why are we standing down here, may I ask?" She walked past them and strode up the stairs toward the door.

"Charm too." Will mumbled. He glanced at Mac. "Is there ever any doubt she's a pirate?"

"Never." Mac agreed as they followed Swimmer's lead up the stairs and out the door of the jail.
