Chapter 10
Megan snapped her fingers and appeared in a boat headed for Cannibal island. Luckily nobody noticed, because A) they couldn't see her, and B) they were doing something to occupy themselves. One was reading a bible upside down and he had a wooden eye. His name was Ragetti. The other was bald, fat and rowing the boat. He's Pintel.
"Hey, Pins and Rags! Although, I think it'd be better to call you Pins and Needles, but that's me." Megan said. Ragetti closed the bible and looked at Pintel.
"Well I say it was divine providence what escaped us from jail." he said
"And I say, it was me being clever." Pintel said as the dog with the keys jumped to the bow of the boat. "Ain't that right Poochie?"
"Well how do you know it wasn't divine providence what inspired you to be clever. Anyway, I ain't stealin' no ship." Ragetti said
"Like you're going to do that period." Megan said
"It ain't stealin', it's salvaging! And since when do you care?" Pintel said
"Since we're not immortal, we've got to take care of our immortal souls!" Ragetti said
"You know you can't read."
"It's the bible you get credit for tryin'."
"He does have a point." Megan said
"Pretendin' to read the bible's a lie! That's a mark against..." Pintel poin ted to the sky to prove his point, but was cut off when Poochie started barking. All eyes turned to see the Black Pearl lying on the beach.
"Look! There it is!" Pintel said. Then Poochie did the smart thing and jumped out of the boat to swim to the beach.
"Why'd he swim?" Rags asked
"Must've seen a catfish." Pintel said. Then he laughed, and soon Rags joined in.
"Stupid mongrel!" Rags shouted.
"I'm with you all the way Poohie!" Megan said before snapping her fingers and appearing on the beach next to the dog. She then watched as a big wave came up and crashed into the boat, sending the occupants into the water.
"Oh! That's one point Poochie, zero points pirates. Wait, that's three points counting those two times in Curse of the Black Pearl." Megan said to herself. Pins and Rags soon came up to the Pearl, Pins laughing like a madman.
"It's ours for the taking!" he said
"Tides coming in, and it should help." Rags said holding onto a mooring line. "Well salvaging is saving in a matter of speaking."
"There's the truth poppet!" Pins said before laughing. Then they grew silent as they heard the drums in the distance.
"Wow, good acoustics." Megan said
"Suppose we better save it while we still can, being our souls in such a valuable state and all." Rags said. Pintel then began crossing himself sloppily.
"Amen to that." he said
"Hm... wonder how Jan's doing?" Megan said
JJJJ
Villagers were pounding on the drums as two women came up to the cannibal king and princess with two necklaces. They put them around their necks.
"Thank you." Jack said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Janice looked down and realized the necklace was made of toes.
"EEEWWW!!!!! These better not be Megan or Emilys toes!!!" She said. She lifted them up to her nose and smelt.
"No. Emily smells like an old boot, and Megan smells like dirt and dogs." she said
"Exactly how do you know those things luv?" Jack asked looking down at her.
"... That's classified." Janice said in a serious tone.
EEEEMMMM
Megan snapped her fingers and closed her eyes. When she opened them she wasn't where she thought she'd be.
"Huh. Where are the cages?" she asked. She looked all around and looked down, to see she was floating above them. Then she just looked forward.
"Aw crud." she said. Then gravity worked and she began falling. She fell through the cage and its occupants, but was lucky when she grabbed onto the bottom of it, causing the cage to bounce a little.
"Megan?" Emily aid looking down at her friend.
"Hey Ems! I'm stuck. Can you help me up?" Megan said putting on a corny smile. "Will you tell me what happens next?" "No." "Then no."
"Evil redhead."
"Poofy headed wierdo."
"Will, can you help me up?" she said. He didn't hear the girls request, but that was his mistake.
"Will! Help me!" Megan yelled making an echo in the canyon. Will came above her and looked down before crouching to grab her to pull her up to the cage.
"What was that sound?" Gibbs asked
"You mean Megan yelling my brains out?" Emily said
"I meant the echo." Gibbs said
"Echo?" Emily, Will and Megan said at the same time.
"Aye. A girls voice callin' for help from Will." Gibbs said
"Yeah, that's Megan." Emily said
"So, they can hear me through echos? Cool!" Megan said. They group was silent for a long time, before Will broke said silence.
"Why would he do this to us? If Jack is their chief..." Will said
"Aye, the Pelegostos treat Jack and Janice like their chief and princess, but they only remain that way if they act that way." Gibbs said
"So they have no choice. They're as much as captives as the rest of us." Will said
"Worse, as it turns out. See, the Pelegostos think Jack and Janice are a God and a water nymph in human form, and they intend to release them from their fleshy prisons." Will looked confused, but then Cotton showed what Gibbs meant by grabbing Gibbs fingers and biting them. Gibbs just pulled them away before turning forward again.
"They'll roast them and eat them." he said
"Ew." Megan said
"Yeah." Emily said sticking her toungue out.
"Where's the rest of the crew?" Will asked, changing the subject.
"These cages we're in weren't built till after we got here." Gibbs said. Emily looked closer at the cage and realized it was made of bones. She jumped back and began walking all over the cage.
"Ah! Gross! Gross! Totally GROOOSS!!!!" She said
"Ems calm down!" Mgan said
"The feast is about to begin. Jack and Janices' lives will end when the drums stop." Gibbs said
"Well then we can't just sit here and wait then, can we?" Will asked. he looked back at Megan to see her attempting to calm down Emily.
"Megan." he said. "Any ideas?"
"Hey Will, do you know the fundamentals of a pendulum?" she asked, growing a sly smirk. Emily noticed this, and stopped her ranting to glare at her friend.
"Oh sure." she said "You don't give me a tip, but you give it to Will!"
JJJJ
The fire was read to be lit, but not in Jacks eyes.
"No no no!" he said. "More wood! Big fire." He got up off his throne and began wavng his arms around as he spoke. Janice came up behind him.
"You know this isn't a really good idea." she whispered.
"Of course it is." Jack whispered back before turning to the tribe. "I am chief! Want big fire!" Then he motioned for the two gaurds by their throne to get wood.
"Habuki snickle snickle." Jack said
"Toot swet, come on!" Janice said
"More wood!" they said in unison. As they watched the gaurds get the wood, a smiled crossed their features.
"I get it now!" Janice said. The gaurds put a huge chunk of wood into the fire pit and turned to their chief and princcess, only to find them... gone.
Jack and Janice were running on the path the Pelegostos made that led to a smaller village. Janice ran ahead, and nearly fell off a cliff. Luckily, Jack caught her by the back of her shirt before she could fall. He pulled her up and began looking around.
"What're we gonna do Jack?" Janice asked. Then Jack lifted up a bamboo pole.
"This is good." he said smiling
"Think we could pole vault?" Janice asked. Jacks smile fell.
"Rope. We need rope." Jack said
"There might be some in one of those cottages." Janice said
"Brilliant!" Jack said before running to one. Before he entered he looked at Janice.
"Wait here and signal me if anything happens." Jack said
"Aye aye captain!" Janice said giving a salute. Jack went into the little hut and looked around. Then he saw rope in the corner.
"Jack..." Janice said from outside. Jack started leaving, but stopped when he saw the little metal containers.
"Jack..." Janice repeated. Jack picked up the container that read 'paprika' and turned it over, a little perturbed at finding the East India Trading Company logo on the back.
"Jack..." Janice said one more.
"Coming." Jack said, still looking at the paprika. "What do you keep calling me abou-" He walked out and found practically the whole pelegostos tribe waiting for him.
"Oh bugger." he said. He dropped the rope and took the lid off of the paprika and beganpowdering his armpits with the stuff.
"A little seasoning." he said, before powdering Janices head with it.
"Now I'll smell nice!" Janice said.
JJJJ
Jack and Janice were tied to the pole, back to back. The pole was placed on the spicket and Janice was not happy.
"I told you it was a bad idea telling them to get more wood!" she said. "But did you believe me? NOOOO!!!!" To the Pelegostos for following his orders to make a big fire, Jack said one thing.
"Well done."
Thunder: Oh no! Jack and Janice are about to be fried!
Ekari:... I'm still upset.
Thunder: Oh get over it! Will was the one that asked me nicely!
Ekari: Still, I'm your friend!
Thunder: And Will is Orlando Bloom!
Ekari:... Good point. Review please!
