Chapter 27
"You're pulling too fast!" Pintel yelled at Ragetti. The long boat they were rowing contained Heather sitting between Norrington and Elizabeth, Cheyenne sitting behind the two, Janice at the side throwing up, Jack at the front, clinging to his jar of dirt and rubbing Janice's back, and Megan who was actually sitting between Pintel and Ragetti as the argued and rowed the boat.
"You're pulling too slow! We don't want the Kraken to catch us." Ragetti yelled back
"I'm saving my strength for when it comes. And I don't think it's Kraken, anyway. I always heard it said Kráken." Pintel said in a matter-of-fact kind of voice
"What, with a long a?" Ragetti asked
"Uh huh."
"No, no, no, no, no, Kràken is how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian, and Kraken's closer to that."
"Well, we're not original Scandinavians, are we? Kráken!"
"It's a mythological creature, I can calls it what I wants!"
"Can we just get to the shore!" Janice yelled. "I can't take this serious rocking anymore."
"Chill Janice. We're almost there." Cheyenne said
"How do you know?" Janice asked. "You're facing the back!" She paused and threw up once more.
"Norrington, you're in charge of cleaning this boat up when we're done." Jack proclaimed. Norrington rolled his eyes. Heather looked up at him then down at his hand. Hers was inches away. Slowly, her hand snaked into his. With a large bump, the boat stopped. Heather withdrew her hand.
"I saw what you did there." Megan said, a large smile on her face.
"Land! Sweet land!!!" Janice jumped out of the boat and kissed the white sand. Soon she sat up and spit out what sand had gotten into her mouth. Jack took off his coat and threw it in the boat where his dirt remained. He picked up a shovel and tossed a second one to Norrington.
"Guard the boat, mind the tide, don't touch my dirt." he told Pintel and Ragetti.
"Ah.. Ah... AH-CHOOO!!!" Megan sneezed loudly. Everyone turned to look at her. Even Norrington heard an echo and turned in her direction.
"Stupid allergies." she mumbled angrily. The group walked on the small island. Elizabeth leading the way with the compass in her hand. Elizabeth stopped and looked at the compass confused she then went in a different direction, but then turned and walked back to where she stopped. Then she repeated her action in a different direction.
"Where is that chest, it's getting hot." Cheyenne asked
"Who here knows about triangulation?" Megan asked. Cheyenne walked over to Elizabeth and looked at the compass. It pointed to Jack who stood a heroic pose on a sand dune.
"This doesn't work." Elizabeth said, throwing down the compass and sitting in the sand. "And it certainly doesn't show you what you want most." Norrington seemed to laugh as he looked at Jack.
"Cruuuud. What do we do now?" Heather asked as she sat on the ground. Jack walked over to the compass.
"Why doesn't your compass work Jack?" Janice asked. "I thought it would." Jack's eyes grew wide as the compass's pointer pointed squarely on Elizabeth.
"Yes, it does. You're sitting on it." he said to Elizabeth.
"Beg pardon?" she asked, confused.
"You kept walking over that spot you're sitting on Lizzie." Megan said. "That, my friends, is triangulation."
"Move." Jack said, waving his hands to make Elizabeth move. He whistled to Norrington. He groaned and took his shovel. He dug into the sand where Elizabeth was sitting.
"What do we do now?" Heather asked
"What else?" Megan asked sitting down, her legs crossed, her knees almost touching the sand. "We wait."
EEEE
"Guard the boat! Mind the tide!" Pintel whined as Ragetti balanced a shovel in his hand.
"I could join the circus!" he said
"...mind if I shine your shoes, sir?!!" Pintel said ignoring Ragetti. The two failed to notice the dark and evil ship watching them from a distance. Davy put down his spyglass.
"They're here." he said. "And I cannot set foot on land again for near of a decade."
"You'll trust us to act in your stead." Maccus the hammerhead said
"I'll trust you to know what awaits you should you fail! Down, then!" Davy commanded. Soon his order was echoed by the crew. The Flying Dutchman was then diving into the water like a submarine. Pintel and Ragetti witnessed the strange feat on the shoreline. Screaming, they ran to find the others.
MMMMMCCCCCHHHHHJJJJJ
"How do you do that?" Heather asked, trying to push her knees to be down to Megan's knees level.
"A lot of stretching. Jack sat with his legs crossed in a meditative pose. Janice stood behind him pacing back in forth.
"You're going to wear a hole in the sand with that walking." Cheyenne said
"What if it's not here?" Janice asked looking over to see Norrington still digging.
"Be patient, you must be." Megan said. A loud thump was heard. Jack's eyes snapped open and everyone scrambled to their feet to look into the hole. Elizabeth, Norrington, and Jack brushed away sand from the top of a large chest they pulled out.
"Wow that's... not as flashy as I thought it would be." Janice said. Jack took a shovel and broke the lock on the chest. He threw the shovel away and opened the lid.
"Where's the heart?" Cheyenne asked, looking at the dried up flowers and letters. "Where's the stupid heart?" Heather picked up a letter and skimmed it over.
"His heart being buried was figurative. This is a love letter." she said, holding the letter close to her chest. "A very romantic love letter." Jack brushed away some letters and pulled out a smaller chest with intricate designs on it and an odd two key lock.
"Is it...?" Janice asked. Everyone put their ear to the chest, minus Megan. They gasped when they heard a loud thump.
"He buried his heart figuratively and literally." Megan said
"It's real!" Elizabeth said, shocked.
"You actually were telling the truth." Norrington, just as surprised as Elizabeth.
'I do that quite a lot. You people are always surprised."
"With good reason!" Will said coming on the beach.
"Man, I got water in my boots." Emily said, taking her boot off and holding it upside down so the water would flow out of it.
"Will! You're all right! Thank God! I came to find you!" Elizabeth said running to her fiance and planting a kiss on his lips.
"Emi!" Heather said
"Guys! Hey!" she said. "I'm alive!" Emily ran to her friends and they all had a large group hug.
"How did you get here?" Jack asked, surprised to see the two Dutchman escapees on the island.
"Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet." Will said
"Not so easy, is it?" Jack asked
"It's really hard steering them in the right direction, actually." Emily said
"You mean you--... the sea turtles were real?" Megan asked
"My secret." Emily said.
"You suck." Megan said. Emily only smiled.
"But I do owe you thanks, Jack." Will said
"You do?" Jack asked, confused.
"After you tricked me onto that ship to square your debt with Jones..." Jack looked guilty when Will said that.
"What?" Elizabeth asked, looking at Jack.
"What?" Jack asked
"What?" Heather asked. "I wasn't here when that happened."
"So Jack tricked Will onto the Dutchman." Cheyenne said
"...I was reunited with my father." Will continued
"Oh that's nice." Heather said
"Not really." Megan said, shaking her head.
"You're welcome, then." Jack said with a smile
"Everything you said to me," Elizabeth said, stomping up to Jack, "every word was a lie!"
"Pretty much. Time and tide, love." Jack said holding his hands out. He then saw Will walk over to the chest and pull out Bootstrap's knife.
"What are you doing?" he asked
"I'm going to kill Jones." Will said. Jack pulled out his sword and aimed it at Will.
"Can't let you do that, William." He said. "'Cause if Jones is dead, who's to call his terrible beastie off the hunt, eh?" Will put his knife back in its sheath and stood up. "Now, if you please, the key." Will suddenly grabbed Elizabeth's sword and aimed it at Jack.
"I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father, and I hope you're here to see it." he said. Norrington then pulled out his sword and pointed it at Will.
"I can't let you do that either. So sorry." he said
"This would sound so much more dramatic if it were in spanish." Megan said
"Megs... " Emily started." I think you're right about that."
"Where's the popcorn when you need it?" Janice asked
"I knew you'd warm up to me eventually." Jack said. He started moving to stand by Norrington, but then Norrington pointed his sword at Jack and Will pointed his sword at Norrington. Jack looked at the two and then he pointed his sword at Will.
"Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it, I get my life back." Norrington said
"Oh, James." Heather said
"Ah, the dark side of ambition." Jack said
"Oh, I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption." Norrington said. The three swords then clashed.
Ekari: I don't think that's a good Cliffhanger.
Furfaidz: But it leaves you hanging!
Ekari: It could be better.
TBP: I don't care. I like it.
