TBP: Well duh, this was just Dead man's chest! What about At World's End? Hm?
Ekari: Good point.
Chapter 32
Beckett sat behind his desk. He was not happy in the very least. Megan appeared behind him, though he couldn't see her.
"Bah humbug, Mr. Scrooge." Megan said. She laughed at her own joke. She walked in front of him and crossed her arms.
"You're mean." Megan said. She leaned forward, her hands on the desk to be close to his face.
"Meanie meanie mean mean poophead jerkface stupid meanie." she said. It really was a shame he couldn't see her. She considered it for a moment, but realized it would be a bad idea. Mercer walked into the room. Two guards and two other people followed him. Megan did not turn around though.
"The last of our ships has returned." Mercer said
"Did they now?" Megan turned around, a fake smile on her lips. "I did not know that. Did you, Heather? Norrington?" She looked at the two, guards on both their sides. Heather looked away. Norrington resisted the urge to shout at walked through Megan to stand in front of Beckett's desk. Megan walked over to the two.
"Is there any news on the chest?" Beckett asked.
"Is there?" Megan asked in a hushed tone.
"Megan, I'm so sorry." Heather whispered
"None." Mercer said. "But, one of our ships did pick up a man and a young girl adrift at sea. They had these." He dropped the letters of marque on the desk.
"You will not stop this." Norrington whispered before turning his attention to Beckett. "I took the liberty of filling in our names."
"Don't do this Heather." Megan said, putting a hand on Heather's shoulder. Beckett beckoned them to come forward. Norrington moved and gently took Heather with him. She looked back at Megan then at Bckett when they were at his desk.
"If you intend to claim these, then you must have something to trade. Do you have the compass?" Beckett asked
"Better." Norrington smiled. He dropped a bundle on the desk. It beat.
"The heart of Davy Jones." Norrington said. Heather looked back at Megan, tears in her eyes.
'I'm so sorry.' she mouthed
"I know." Megan said, nodding her head. "They'll miss you. I'll keep my eyes on you though." Heather turned back to Beckett. Megan snapped her fingers.
JJJJJEEEEECCCCCMMMMM
The surviving remnants of the Black Pearl's crew were rowing upriver towards where Tia Dalma's shack was. They passed by a bunch of people holding candles, humming softly, and standing in the water. When they reached Tia Dalma's shack, Megan looked at her friends and smiled. They all smiled for a moment, until the sad mood they had before hung like a cloud over them all. Everyone departed the boat and headed into the shack. Everyone, that is, except the group of friends who stayed out to "mind the boat"
"You're alive." Emily said,looking at Megan.
"Am I supposed to be dead?" Megan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We saw the kraken take you down." Cheyenne said. "We all thought it killed you."
"Nope." Megan said, smiling and looking at her friends. None of them smiled back. She sighed and put her face in her hands.
"I miss my Jack." Janice moaned
"We know Janice." Cheyenne said, answering the statement for everyone.
"We should get in the shack." Megan said
"Why?" Emily asked
"Cause we need to see someone." Megan retorted. "Someone important."
"Fine." Emily said, getting up. Cheyenne and Janice followed behind her, Megan being the last. They were stopped on the platform just in front of the doors. Tia was standing with a platter of mugs. She stared down at all four girls.
"Be cautious of those around you." she said. "You never know where you may find a snake in the grass." The girls all looked at each other. How could one of them betray them all? Tia walked away from them, letting them enter. When Megan walked past her, she stared down at her. As if she could not only see her, but right through her and into her mind. Emily sat next to Will as he kept sticking Bootstrap's knife into Tia's table then pulling it back out to repeat the gesture. Cheyenne sat next to Elizabeth on the steps to the second floor. Megan and Janice stood against a table. Tia walked to everyone with her platter of drinks.
"Against the cold, and the sorrow." She said to Elizabeth. both she and Cheyenne took a mug. Tia walked over to Will.
"It's a shame." She said. "I know you're thinking that with the Pearl, you could have captured the Devil and set free your father's soul."
"It doesn't matter now. The Pearl is gone, along with its captain." Will said
"Aye, and already the world seems a bit less bright." Gibbs said
"I want my Jack back." Janice said
"He fooled us all right till the end," Gibbs continued, "but I guess that honest streak finally won out." he raised up his mug. "To Jack Sparrow!"
"Never another like Captain Jack!" Ragetti said
"He was a kind and noble pirate." Janice said
"He was a gentleman of fortune, he was." Pintel said
"He was brave to go down with his ship." Emily said
"He was a good man." Elizabeth said. Everyone drank, except for Elizabeth. Emily looked back at Megan.
"Some ending, huh?" she said
"Just you wait." Megan said. Will looked at Elizabeth.[They all take a drink, then Will turns to Elizabeth.]
"If there was anything could be done to bring him back...Elizabeth..." Will said, standing. Tia quickly moved in front of him.
"Would you do it?" she asked, before turning her attention to the rest of the crew, "What would you, what would any of you be willing to do? Would you sail to the ends of the Earth and beyond to fetch back witty Jack and him precious Pearl?" There was silence before Janice took a step forward.
"Yes." she said
"Aye." Gibbs added
"Aye." Pintel said
"Yeah." Cheyenne said, standing.
"Aye." Ragetti said
"Of course." Megan said, standing.
"Aye." said Cotton's parrot, while Cotton raised his hand.
"Yes." Elizabeth said, standing.
"Aye." Will said. Tia smiled.
"All right!" she said. "But if you're going to brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end, then you will need a captain who knows those waters." Tia looked up the stairs as boots began to descend. Everyone looked to the person who was coming down.
"Is that...?" Cheyenne asked
"Wait for it." Megan said, smiling widely. The man finally came down, revealing himself to be Barbossa, Jack the monkey on his shoulder.
"So tell me, what's become of my ship?" he asked, before biting in a green apple and laughing. Emily, Janice, and Cheyenne turned to Mega, with their eyes wide and their jaws wide open.
"An ending you wouldn't believe." she said, still smiling.
"But this means..." Cheyenne said, "there's going to be a sequel?"
"Of course." Megan replied
"But you haven't seen it, so will people start to see you?" Emily asked
"Well..." Megan started
"Well?" Emily asked
"I found spoilers on what the next movie was going to be about and what was going to happen." Megan quickly said. "They don't have everything that would be happening, just a rough draft."
"So..." Janice said
"So we wait." Emily said. "Until the next movie comes out."
"Or," Barbossa said, walking over to the group of girls, "ye can join us while we go to world's end to bring back Jack." Everyone looked at each other then back at Barbossa.
"Agreed." Emily said. Barbossa smirked at them all and turned his back, walking to the crew. The girls all followed him. While they were afraid of what was going to happen, they were still stuck in the movie. They might as well go along with it until the next movie ends.
Ekari: And that is all.
Furfaidz: Not much of an ending though.
TBP: Just you wait until the next story!
Ekari: Right on!
TBP: Read and Review!
