Hello, Wow, that was quick, I finished this within two hours before bedtime! Sorry for the short chapter on this one. But have fun.

Warning: If you are allergic to Britney Spears, please skip this chapter RIGHT NOW! there is more action in the next chapter!

I don't own the characters, and still captain Jack sparrow ain't here to help me commandeer the Renown ( I want it!), speaking of which, where is he?

*At the fountain of Youth*

Jack Sparrow: AAAAAAAHHH!

Blackbeard: Is that it?

Jack: I think so!...crud I forgot I had to help that girl, what was her name?

(I don't own him or Britney either!)

The sun shone brightly in the skies over the beach. It filtered through the stained glass window where swarms of dust gathered to soak up the heat of the sun. Covering their eyes from the sudden darkness, Lt Buckland, Midshipman Wellard and Lieutenants Hornblower, Kennedy and Bush followed the girls out of the dark attic, down a long corridor and into the bright airy and open landing of the staircase. Will lead Horatio into one of the spare bedrooms in the house while the others looked about in curiosity of a water feature being inside of a home. She opened the door to a large room with cream coloured walls, a white ceiling, and a rustic French provincial single bed and a matching wardrobe and bedside table waited patiently for another stranger to use them. On the other side of the room it opened up to a full seaside view of the orange sand, the green grass and the blue sea and equally blue sky. She closed the curtains so Horatio could sleep and recover from his thirty-six hour continuous watch.

"You can rest here if you like, you look very tired." She said warmly. Horatio kicked off his boots and put his hat on the bedside table.

"Thank you ma'am." He said with some unease. I shouldn't get too comfortable.

"Oh, it's alright, we are not going to do anything to you." Said Will honestly. Horatio's eyes met with hers. She smiled and left leaving Horatio to close his eyes and fall asleep peacefully and in the safe mercy of land.

The rest of the group was lead downstairs. The mansion looked more modern as they came downstairs. There were less furniture, things were of lighter colours and the carpets and floorings became shinier, darker, while sometimes the carpet under their feet were just pure white. It felt so breezy and open. Finally they arrived in the main entertaining area. The group looked around the house curiously at all the new objects.

"well, what were you doing before you came here?" asked Henrietta to the group.

"We were just starting the day. On day watch." Said Archie with a smile as he glanced at pictures of Will and her friends in photo frames. They were wearing strange looking clothing, blue pants, tank tops and very skimpy looking undergarments that they wore in water.

"Say, those paintings are so accurate and so beautiful, how did they paint it so small and yet so detailed?" he asked.

"Oh, we used a camera. It allows light inside in a brief second and the film, that is special paper, absorbs the light in different spectrums. Then when the light is absorbed, the image is burned onto the paper." Explained Henrietta.

Archie nodded, he seemed a bit confused about 'spectrums'. He tilted his head, trying to understand. Aww that's so cute, thought Henrietta. She laughed.

"Don't worry, you'll get your head around it soon while you are here!"

Meanwhile on the other side of the room, William and Buckland were sitting on the counter on some transparent stools by the kitchen counter. The lights dangled dangerously close to the counter and were wrapped in a thin and shiny layer of steel.

"This place is…a curiosity," Said Mr Buckland as he gazed at the high ceiling of the place. The steel fans rotated lazily and the steel air-conditioner exhaled quietly the cool air. ", I take it that this is your home? Is it not?"

"Oh, yeah, it's Will's place. But my parents, and Kelly's parents are away so we are…er…lodging at Will's place for the summer vacation." She gestured with her head to Will who was talking to Wellard and Archie who were running their hand along the white leather lounges and sitting on it. They threw their heads back and relaxed. Henrietta sat next to Wellard, she swore she saw her briefly ran her hand along Wellard's hand. She prepared some Ice water for the group. She served Buckland and Bush some water and as they gulped it down, they shivered and gulped in surprise to the sudden splash of cold water down their throats. It was so refreshing.

"Oh, it's…lovely. So nice and cold. On board the Renown, we would have never had and water, it was always grog." Said Bush as he took another sip. The ice cubes tickled his mouth and cooled his wind and sun beaten face from that horribly humid and hot week aboard the Renown.

Will helped serve the others and they loved Ice water. Something so simple like Ice water was like their first experience in the modern world. They were all quiet for a while before Will went to the kitchen to get some Ice-cream.

"Oy, there isn't enough Ice Cream for all of us!" exclaimed Henrietta, she wanted some Ice cream too! This alerted Kelly and she went for the fridge.

"No, Kelly, you eat like a tub full of it last time, now it's my turn!"

"No, it's my go!"

"My Ice cream! It's caramel flavoured."

"I like Caramel too!"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT YOU GOBS UP LIKE NOW!" Screamed Henrietta. The two girls who were grabbing each other by the Lapels stopped.

"Guys, we have, like, these peeps called 'guests' and we are meant to be 'angels' while they are here. So just run along and play nice, not naughty, but nice! Got it?" said Henrietta with hand gestures. How she said it was hilarious and to the point.

The two girls broke off each other and the three relaxed before laughing together.

"Okay, Aye Aye, Capt'n!" saluted the girls to their leader and friend. The tinkled a smile and then resolved the issue by making a chocolate milkshakes instead. The time travellers stared at the girls in curiosity as they used something called a 'blender'. It was noisy and it made a frothy mixture for the girls to drink, it was a dirty colour like a mix of milk and sewerage. However, once they tasted it, it was very sweet.

Henrietta sat down next to Wellard as Mr Buckland wandered around and started running his hands on the Flat screen LCD TV that was mounted to the wall.

"Are you enjoying your stay so far?" she asked brightly. While he was alone, he looked kind of sad and disappointed in a way.

"Yes, I-I'm fine." He said staring into the clear glass blankly.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, I'm okay."

"Where are you from? How did you get into the Navy?" asked Henrietta with a smile. He gazed to his left and saw her bright and sparkling eyes light up in contact. She is so beautiful…..

"I was born in Scotland and then when I was four, my family moved to Plymouth. I always grew up around the Navy. Then when my father died at sea when I was ten, I left my mother because she was pregnant with my sister, she needed some help, so that's how I became part of the Navy. Whenever I got the chance to get onto land, I saved up some of my pay for her so she can look after me and my sister." He said with an iron oxide tint. It was a very modest and humble life. Henrietta smiled at him, she looked even more beautiful as a lock of hair fell between them. She pushed it away behind her ear with very large silver hoop earrings. He could just lean in and tell her how much of Michelangelo she was.

He seems like a nice boy, thought Henrietta. He spent months away from his family and did such dangerous duties for the sake of his family. That is so brave and kind and noble and loving of him to do such a thing. She listened intently to him. He is so…charming too. As she was about to say something else, a loud song began to play. Buckland jumped and yelped in surprise. He was near another set of stereo speakers with Kelly's I-pod in it.

" My loneliness is killing me,

And I,

I must confess, I still believe

Still Believe,

Remember with you, I lose my mind,

Gimme a sign,

HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME!"

Sang Britney Spears and the girls sang along to the chorus. As they turned around after standing in front of the speakers and singing along, they faded the music a bit and stared at a group of full grown men and Wellard who were staring at them with wide eyes and shock at the music.

"Woo hoo! HIT ME BABY ONCE MORE TIME, do it Henrietta!" hollered Kelly. The girls smiled and kept dancing to the song! They danced to it in sync with each other like in a tight military formation.

"What a classic," she said to Bush, who was near Buckland. ", what? It is a classic! It's Britney Spears! Hit me baby one more time is such a classic of this era!"

"This spears girl is just plain trashy. Teaching you young ladies the wrong message and the music is just horrible. Full on balderdash and disrespect and trash!" muttered Bush.

"Oh, shut up! You are too serious, you guys! Just relax and have fun! Come and join in! If you want to, you still have the bleachers!" said Will with a tinkle. Bleachers?

"Well, the tune is kind of…infectious and fun." Said Archie with a smile as he joined in. Wellard joined as well with a smile as he took off his top hat.

"Oh no, not you two too!" said Bush. Buckland only nodded and smiled. Finally, Wellard was happy. Of all the times he had aboard the Renown, he had never seen any of the crew look really happy, or even smile while under the captain's command. He never felt happy around Sawyer, only fear took over him to do the right thing. But the girls, they made his own men join them in their party without much, except for that word 'fun'. After all, maybe more praise was needed aboard the ship. More grog, music? Women? What drove men to listen and follow without them feeling anything negative? Buckland lowered his head deep in mysterious thought. He took off his hat and leaned against the black marble counter. There were millions of questions infecting his brain that he felt faint….
