Ok, here's the next chapter. This picks up right after the last chapter. Just so you know, I got the idea of Jane while watching Star Wars. When they said Han Solo's last name, I thought it sounded like swallow. This got me thinking of sparrow, whch led to a female version of Jack Sparrow. I just felt I needed to put that in in case anyone was curious. The Phan Attack is next chapter! Last chance for cameo reuests!

Meghan, who had been watching from the shadows, waited until she was sure everyone was cooking or eating safely before leaving the dining room. She headed down the hallway, humming softly as she stepped over the various objects lying on the floor. She reached her room and stepped inside. She set down the book she had been carrying and looked around. She gasped.
There was someone snooping around Meghan's dresser. Meghan couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl because its hair was obscured by the large, weathered brown tricorn hat it wore. It was wearing a long brown coat and black pants tucked into tall brown boots that flared out at the top. The person rustled through Meghan's things while Meghan stood and gaped. After several minutes, she worked up the courage to talk to the person.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
The person tuned around and Meghan could see it was a girl. The girl smiled at Meghan, showing several rotten teeth, and mock-bowed. "I'm Captain Jane Swallow, at yer service. Well, at yer service as I choose."
Jane took off her jacket and hat and tossed them on Meghan's bed. Her tangled black hair spilled over her old-style white shirt and blue-grey vest. She tossed a necklace back and forth between her hands.
"What's this made of? It looks valuable," Jane asked as she ran the necklace through her fingers.
"Sorry, it's just painted plastic. Why are you in my room?"
Jane shrugged. "How should I know? One minute I'm on me ship ordering me crew around, the next I'm here. Here, with all his expensive looking jewelry. And money."
Meghan gasped and wrenched her piggy bank away from Jane's greedy hands. "You can NOT steal my money! I've got over a hundred dollars in here, and I intend to keep it all."
Jane sighed and crawled over Meghan's bed. She made her way to the door. "Ye got anythin' to drink around here?"
Meghan followed Jane. "Water."
Jane sighed. "That'll have to do." She strode swiftly through the hallway, glancing in each door as she passed. Once she reached the end and was faced with a three-way crossroads, she turned to Meghan for advice. "Well?"
Meghan gestured toward the left. "This way."
They walked out and saw that everyone was luckily still alive. Most people had finished eating and were creating chaos again. Andre was hyped up from the whipped cream and chasing Chloe around the room. Firmin was hyped up from the ice cream and was chasing Andre around the room. Christine was staring at the TV. Nadir had recovered from the microwave incident and decided that the china plates made good Frisbees. Meg and Madame Giry were playing a three-way Frisbee game with Nadir. Ron had disappeared. Carlotta was banging on the door of her closet again. Piangi's ghost was roaming around the ceiling.
Jane stood and stared at everyone like they were crazy, which was true.
While Jane was staring, Meghan got her water; she shoved it into the still staring girl' hand and left. Meghan wandered around the house. She decided to examine Meg's ballet studio. She glanced around the gutted room and tested the strength of the handmade ballet materials. She was just about to leave when the garage door creaked open.
Meghan turned around to see Erik and Davy Jones, arm in arm, heading toward her.
"Why are you guys acting all friendly? I thought Jennifer mentioned you fighting."
Both shrugged at the same time. "We made up," they replied in unity.
"Apparently," Meghan muttered. She watched the pair make their way down the hall, presumably heading for the kitchen. Mumbling something about 'stupid, organ-playing characters Jennifer's obsessed with', Meghan headed back to her room. However, she suddenly heard a strange rumbling sound. "Uh-oh," she muttered. "This cannot be good."
Oooh! A cliffie! Sorry for anyone who's mad. I just thought I should divide it into two parts. Yeah. Last chance for cameo requests! Oh, I'll also take Cpt. Jack Sparrow fans who mistake Jane for him. And Davy Jones fans. Please review!
