Norrington did not continue to stand in front of the door. He decided to either try to make himself useful, or…well, he was not sure what else he could do.

Meanwhile, inside the small cabin, Meg paced. She could not believe that this was happening. How could she have let that worthless piece of meat carry her off into the jungle?! She kicked the wall in rage and then sunk down on the bed, head in hands. "This is insane," Meg murmured. "He's taking me to Beckett…this is horrible." She leaned to the side and lay down. Feeling sure that the lock would keep out Norrington and anyone else who dared intrude on the pirate lass, Meg fell asleep.

Rapping on the door woke our dear Meg with a start. For a moment she forgot where she was. However, she then noticed beams of moonlight falling through a porthole like opening. The knocking started up again.

"What!" Meg shouted at the door, sounding exhausted.

"Meg," replied the familiar voice of Norrington. "If you want something to eat, you have to come down to the galley with me, now." In response, Meg's stomach growled. She groaned in answer. She just realized that she was starving.

"Fine,"

"But under one condition—" Meg opened the door in a flash.

"Oh, like going down with you isn't a condition?!" She spat. Norrington looked back at her calmly. Meg looked down at the object in his arms. Pointing at it, she said, "Ohhhh…no," as she backed away. It was a dress. Now, it was not that Meg never wore dresses; she just did not trust this one, especially if Norry was giving it to her to wear.

"Ohhhhh, yes," Norrington mocked. "If you want a meal, then you WILL wear it," he shoved it into Meg's arms forcefully, causing her to stumble back. He then promptly shut the door behind him. Meg's stomach growled again in response. She sighed. 'Food…or…Starvation…' she thought.

"Food," Meg lay the dress out on the bed. It was simple. It was green. And best of all, it did not have a tight corset! It did have a lovely bodice with a bit of embroidering in white, along with white laces up the front. Quickly, Meg changed into this dress. There was no mirror in the room, but Meg assumed it looked good on her from just being able to look down at herself. She took out the sash in her hair (which was long enough to reach past her shoulders), and combed it with her fingers as best she could.

Moments later, Norrington came back to check on Meg. "Come in," she said. Norrington was a bit surprised at this answer, but opened the door. Meg was standing there like a perfect lady. Norry's eyes scanned her up and down. Meg took a step back, feeling insecure. All she had to do, however, was lift the floor-length hem and get the dagger out of her boot if something went wrong.

"Beautiful," Norry whispered, but Meg marched right up to him and slapped him.

"Say that again, and you will be in a world of pain," she hissed, promptly walking out the door.

Down in the galley, Meg pretended to be a proper English lady as best she could. She kept an eye on Norrington, however, and the crew members waiting on them and the Captain. Apparently Norrington commanded the captain for no one to ask questions about where they came from, so the only talk was from the officers of the ship between themselves.

A few very long days passed. Meg stayed locked in the little cabin most of the time, unless she was hungry or thirsty. Finally, a cry of 'Land Ho!' reached Meg's ears. She almost forgot where she was and where they were going, for she started for the door. However, the words 'Port Royal' and 'Beckett' resounded somewhere in the back of her mind, and she slumped back down onto the bed. Someone knocked on the door.

"Meg," called Norrington's voice from the other side, again. "Get up, get out here, now."

"I'm not wearing that dress, just to inform you,"

"Fine, just so long as your wearing SOMETHING," Meg laughed.

"Why, wouldn't you just love for me to open this door and—"she opened it, fully clothed in her pirate attire. She burst into laugher again. "You should have seen the look on your face, Norry!" Apparently, his face was in total shock and awe, as if expecting the pirate to come out in the nude. Managing to pull herself back together, Meg slapped Norry again, punishing him for thinking such thoughts, and walked past him once more. "Oh, P.S., at the rate you're going, I wouldn't try even sucking up to your cousin next time you see her,"


Well...I tried! I know it's short, but I'll hopefully get a longer chappie up next time!! R&R please!!!!!!!!!!
