Chapter Two
. Val's PoV .
SPLASH
I woke with a start, and it was totally dark. I was lying on this scratchy carpetand tried to sit up, but I hit my head immediately and fell back down.
Then water started pourring in.
"Help! Get me out!"
I kicked and banged and screamed and cried, but I was gonna drown.
But then I stopped moving just before I was completely submerged. Then I was being pulled and the water was receiting! Yay! I won't drown!
Soon, all the water was gone, and I had stopped moving again.
"It'll take forever to clear this up!" I heard a voice say. "I don't got the money for this repair job!"
"We'll fix it, ok?" another said.
Then I gasped.
"Ronie?" I whispered.
I started banging and screaming again.
"RONIE! HELP!"
Oh my god... I can't believe it!
. Ronie's PoV .
We looked at the trunk of my car as screaming started suddenly.
"Ronie... did you kill someone who isn't dead yeat?" Clay asked.
"WhaT?" I asked. "Shut up, Clay."
We walked up to the trunk, and the noise stopped. Will opened it slowly, and-
"RONIE! I can't believe it!"
I screamed and fell to the sand.
"It's... no way!" Brandon said.
"Hi! Oh, BJ! Clay! I missed you soooo-"
SLAM
"Will!"
"Well, it's just to be safe!"
He opened the trunk back up again, and there was Val.
"This is nuts!" Brandon yelled.
"Who are they?" Julie demanded.
"Val is Caly's cousin!" he said. "But Julie, there's a long story you've gotta hear..."
He and Julie started walking up the beach, leaving me there with Will, Clay, and an unconcious Val... again...
We carried her into the beach house and sat her on the couch. I sat in one of the chairs. This is so screwed up... oh well. What happens happens.
"I'll stay the night," I said to Will and clay finally. "But that's all."
"Good to see you again, Ronie," Will said with a smile.
"Yeah," Clay added.
"Have you guys seen... Jack? " I asked. "At all?"
They shook their heads, and Val sat up.
"Me neither," she said, rubbbing her head. "Alex and Eliza-"
"WHO and Elizabeth?" Will asked.
"Alex... Norrington's brother..." Val said. "He-"
"Norrington's BROTHER?"
"Yeah," Val said. "Three of us have been looking for him for a year together.
"Oh..." Will said. "So no luck?"
"Nope. But I'm starving!"
Val jumped up and ran for the kitchen.
"Too bad I'm leaving tomorrow," Clay said.
"Leaving?" I asked. "Where to?"
"England with my family," he said. "One week to visit my grandparents.
"OUR grandparents," Val said, walking in with a bag of Cheetos. "Oh... it's been forever since I've had real food..."
"Val, Grandma and Pap think you're dead," Clay said.
"WHAT?"
"Well, you've been gone five years!"
"Great..."
At that point, Brandon and... Julie... came inside through the door I had massacred. She shot me alook, but I just smiled.
"So, um... who's hungry?" Brandon asked.
.In the car .
I was squished between Val and Julie in the backseat.
This sucks.
"Val, shut UP!"
"But I love this-"
"I - KNOW!"
"Uh... can you stop yelling?" Julie asked, clutching her ear.
"OH MY! IS THIS YELLING?"
"We're devils-"
"VAL!"
"Boy, five years in prison's really helped you..."
"Five years of pirates has only made you more annoying!"
"Guys, give it a rest," Brandon said.
I scowled and fell back into the seat as we pulled into Denny's.
. Brandon's PoV .
. In Denny's .
Julie and I were the last back form the salad bar.
"So, when's the wedding?" Val asked out of nowhere.
Ronie's fork dropped and clanked loudly as she stared wide-eyed out in front of her.
"Uh.. the day after Clay gets back from England," I said as Julie took my hand.
"And what a day it'll be," she said.
I smiled akwardly as Ronie death-glared Val.
"I'm the best man," Clay said proudly.
"And I'm in the wedding, too," Will said.
"Aww, that's cool..." Val said. "Can I be a bridesmaid?"
Ronie dropped her fork again looking murderous.
"Val?" she asked calmly.
"Yeah, Ronie?"
"Can I speak to you for a moment, please?"
Ronie grabbed Val by the bakc of her dress and pulled her out of the booth. They went out of sight, and Julie sighed.
"She needs some social help," she said.
. Val's PoV .
Ronie took me outside round back about to strangle me.
"Val! Who's side are you on?"
"I'm on yours! I didn't know you still liked him! Up until WIll told me everything, I thought you and BJ were married!"
Ronie let go and sat on a crate.
"Do you still like Jack?" she asked.
"I... well... yeah... but I-"
"But?"
"Well, that Alex guy I mentioned..."
"This is great!" Ronie said. "Now we don't gotta worry about ever finding him again..."
"Yeah, I guess," I said. "But I still miss him..."
"Well I don't," I said. "Peace and quiet, just like it-"
"Wait."
"What?"
"I meant Alex just as much as I did Jack," I said.
Ronie just laughed.
"Val, he can't come here and you can't go back."
"Wanna watch me?"
"Val, no! Don't you-"
I ran off into the patch of woods behind the restaurant.
"Val! You couldn't find Jack before! What makes you think you'll find them both!" Ronie yelled. "You're so stupid!"
"Thank you!" I yelled as I kept on running.
. Ronie's PoV .
"Val! come back!"
Then brandon, Clay, Will, and Julie came running towards me.
"What's going on?" Brandon asked.
"Val ran off with another whack time machine plan!"
Will and Clay ran off into the woods and I followed, but Brandon had to stay behind because Julie thinks it's icky...
"Val? Val!" Clay yelled.
"She ran right back here!" I said.
"Are you sure?" Will asked.
"Yeah! Der!"
"I don't see her..."
"Well, she's gotta be here somewhere, Will!"
"BJ! Come help us!" Clay yelled.
. 7:30 pm .
Six hours in the woods... lost! All over Val!
"Ow! Stupid log..."
"Y'ok, Ronie?" Clay asked.
"No! If I ever find Val, I'll kill her, though..."
"How did we get lost?" Will asked.
"Val..." Brandon said. "Hey! I think I see lights, you guys!"
I stopped.
"No, those are eyes," I said.
We stepped back as the eyes got closer. Then three more sets showed up.
"Think it's just deer?" Clay asked.
The eyes moved closer, now growling deeply.
"Try bears, Clay," Brandon said, backing into a tree.
The growling got closer, we panicked, and I started up the tree. Clay was getting hysterical, so I slapped him and pulled him up next to me.
"Just go!" Brandon yelled.
We got to the top of the tree, and one of the bears was following us. He climbed out on the branch I was on, and it started cracking.
"Ronie! Grab my hand!" Will said.
He was above me reaching dwon, but I slipped when I stood up.
I'm dangling from my branch now... this is just great.
The branch cracked even more, and Iswung my legs up, grabbing Will's hand, and kicked off the branch just as it and the bear fell. Phew...
"Thanks," I panted.
"Close one," he said.
"She ok?" Clay asked from another branch.
"Fine," I said, leaning into the tree.
"This is just perfect!" Brandon said. "Surrounded by bears, lost in the woods..."
"And my flight leaves this time tomorrow morning," Clay moaned.
. Val's PoV .
Man, somebody up there likes me! I found a hundred dollar bill, got a new pair of jeans, green tanktop, and swimsuit (for when I got back to get Alex), a good dinner, and hotel room!
Now I've only got $1.63 left...
But I'm almost done with my time machine!
"Oh... I need a clock!" I yelled running around.
I picked up the phone and dialed room service.
"I need a clock!"
Then I slammed the phone down and ran around more.
"Ugh! Gotta hurry... need it to work, need it to work, NEED A CLOCK!"
I kicked the time machine and sparks suddenly started flying from it... blue sparks.
"Ah! No! Stop! I'm sorry! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh-
SUPER POW
I flew back into the bed screaming and then it stopped. I looked up, and the box was moving.
"Alex?" I asked, gripping my book off the nightstand.
I walked up to it.
"Alex?"
I pushed the box open, and it looked empty, so I went in.
"Hello? Alex? Liz?"
"Liz? God, lassie, do you have eyes?"
I screamed, kicked, and whipped my book around as the box tipped.
"AHH! Get off! OFF!"
I tripped out of the box with my book ready to swing again.
"Ow... I'll be feelin' that for a while," the voice said, coming out of the box.
I dropped my book and my jaw.
"Jack!"
I ran over and hugged him tightly.
"Oof... have I threatened ye or whooed ye before?" he asked.
I looked up athim grinning uncontrollably. I nodded furiously.
"It's Val!" I said. "I wore a pink dress and we got locked in a rig and Ronie and Clay and BJ... remember? I've been looking for you for five years since you vanished at Aunt Clara's."
He smiled.
"Aye..." Jack said. "I remeber now!"
"But where did you go? I've been in Tortuga and everything looking for you!"
"What happened to me? Well, I'll tell ye everything..."
"Wait!" I said. "I'll call room service and get you some food."
"Food... sounds good! And rum!"
"And rum," I laughed. "Yeah, hello? I need two dinner specials..."
"And rum!" Jack yelled.
