A Pack of Lies

Bandanna and Sica now stood before the rough and tough captain named Hector Barbossa. The Pirates had required them to dress in something period appropriate. Bandanna thought back angrily at the memory.

"You want to see Barbossa?" Pintel asked uncertainly.

"Of course! He's like my favorite pirate of all time... besides Ragetti that is!" Bandanna admitted as she laughed.

Ragetti looked up at the mention of his name and gave Bandanna a puzzled look. "I'mma what?"

"You, dear Ragetti, are my favorite pirate of the Cursed Crew!" Bandanna cried as she jumped to give him a hug.

"Bandanna, you're crazy," Sica said behind her laughing.

"Well, um... I'm thinking we need to get ye some ordinary clothing," Pintel said sidling away from the fangirl hugging his friend. He didn't want to end up like him.

"Ragetti, who did you filch your coat from?" Bandanna asked stepping back to look at it.

"Some French nobleman."

There was a moment of silence here, as Bandanna, Ragetti, and Sica were all at a loss for words for once. It wasn't long before Pintel returned holding a bundle of clothes.

" 'ere we are. A dress for the bonnie lass and some clothes for the boy," Pintel said handing Sica the layered skirt.

"So this mean you think I'm a guy?" Bandanna asked looking down at her over-sized hoodie and then back to the pirates. When she was answered with silence, Bandanna glared at the old pirate and snatched the clothes away from him.

Bandanna glared at Pintel with her arms crossed in front of her. Sica was busy playing with Jack the Monkey as Barbossa watched her curiously.

"So who exactly are ye?" the captain asked tossing an apple from his left hand to his right hand and back.

"We'll I'm Sica..." Sica replied looking up from the monkey for a moment and then returning to her games.

"And I'm Bandanna," Bandanna said looking excitedly at Barbossa now that she had been addressed.

"Odd names... Where are ye from?" Barbossa asked looking strangely at Bandanna.

Bandanna's face fell and she grabbed Sica's arm, before scuttling towards a corner of the cabin. "Excuse me for a second while I converse with my first mate."

"We can't very well tell them we're from the 21st century can we?" Bandanna whispered. "We need a proper background."

"What if we're Captain Jack's crew mates?" Sica suggested.

"No, that won't work... Barbossa hates Jack." Bandanna said dispelling any thoughts of involving the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Well then what do you suggest?" Sica asked frowning.

"Why don't we say that we're from Liverpool and work for a nobleman by the name of Sherlock Price?" Bandanna suggested grinning.

Sica nodded her approval and the two girls turned back to the sea faring pirates. They walked in step back to them and stood tall.

"We are from Liverpool. We work for nobleman Sherlock Price," Bandanna said trying to sound as proper as possible.

Barbossa looked at them and laughed, then he smiled, "Liverpool always did have the strange ones."
