Chapter 5: Cell phones, Ipods and Tia Dalma
Sally groaned and followed Evie. She walked over to where Evie stood and looked at what she had found.
"Oh… My… God! Am I really looking at this?" Sally said in disbelief as her firey blue eyes grew large.
"Yes, yes you are!" Evie said holding up their backpacks and purses. They thought they had been left behind when they went back in time.
Sally took her purple and black purse from Evie's hands. She fumbled through it and pulled out her video Ipod.
"My baby!" She turned it on. "IT LIVES!"
Evie went through her own and pulled out her cell phone. She sighed. "No service, as usual." Sally went back into her bag and pulled out her phone.
"I have full bars." She said holding up her phone. "As always."
"Ok, why is it that you have service everywhere, even in the 1700's for crying out loud, and I don't even have one bar?!" Evie groaned and put her phone away.
Sally laughed and put hers in her pocket. Jack and Will walked over to see what all the fuss was about. Jack spies the Ipod and pokes it.
"What in the world!"
"Its an Ipod. It holds music and movies." Said Sally putting in an ear bud and handing the other to Evie. "Watch." Sally turned it on and went to This is Halloween, Marilyn Manson version.
Sally and Evie immediately sang along. "Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange. Come with us and you will see, this our town of Halloween."
Will and Jack just watched the girls in amazement and fright.
"Right." Said Will as he turned back toward the path.
Jack followed and the girl's grabbed their stuff and went too.
Evie and Sally had moved on to the At World's End soundtrack by the time Tia Dalma's came into view. The girls put the Ipod away. Jack went up to the door and knocked.
"Witty Jack!" said Tia Dalma as she opened the door. "William Turner!" She reached out to Will with a smile and then caught sight of the girls. "Ah, I see you've begun de search for de freedom of Mr. Turner."
Sally nodded and looked at Will then back to the woman. "Den you be wanting dis." Tia Dalma said holding up her locket.
"Aye, that be it!" Said Jack grinning and eyeing the objects in her home. Evie punched him in his arm when he went for a ring.
"Ow!" he made a face and withdrew his arm. Tia Dalma shot him a look and then returned her gaze to Will and the girls.
"I expect you have something of trade?"
Will looked to Jack and the girls as if expecting them to do something but they stepped away. He rolled his eyes and pulled out a bag. He handed it to Tia Dalma and she looked inside it. When she looked up she smiled and nodded.
"The payment is fair." She said holding out her locket.
"Thank you Calypso." Will said and began to walk away.
"Oh, right!" Jack walked away too but not after shoving several rings and a jeweled box into his pockets. Evie and Sally nodded a farewell to the gypsy woman and followed Will and Jack, curious as to what was in the bag Will gave to Calypso.
