It was three days before Luna was graced with Norrington's presence again.
She and Henrietta were sitting in the ballroom, Luna creating a melody from ebony and ivory keys while Henrietta sat on her other side. Neither were aware of the Naval man watching them as they spoke in hushed whispers.
"So he doesn't know it was you?"
"No. And I don't want him to find out."
"Because you're not who you said you were?"
"No because, look at me. There isn't a way he'd take a fancying to me."
"I think you're over reacting. You're stunning. There's not a man in the Caribbean that wouldn't take a liking to you."
"After what happened to him because of Miss Elizabeth, I doubt he'd look at another woman in that way."
At Elizabeth's name James became even more confused. Who and what were they talking about?
"You can't tell me you weren't enchanted at the time."
"He was distracted by someone else, a woman, but not in that sense."
"By you."
"Not by me." The speaker then yawned. "I've been losing sleep over this."
"Obviously. What would Lord Beckett say about your gallivanting with the Admiral?"
Now, he knew who...
"I'm sure Lord Beckett wouldn't care."
"He likes you more than he lets on."
"Triffles."
Luna played a chord that sounded a bit off with the rest of the music. She sighed and placed her hands in her lap. "Hand me my guitar?"
Henrietta reached over to the other side of the piano and grabbed the instrument. "You're going to sing?"
"No. We are going to sing. In my experience, whenever I have a problem, particularly with men, I normally go to my best friend, most of the time he's the cause of everything, but when he's not there, I write."
"Luna..."
Luna shook her head and began to sing.
"There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old, tired place lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face"
"All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you" Henrietta sang as her nimble fingers took to the keys.
"Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"
Across the room, your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
The lingering question kept me up
2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
As I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you"
Confused as ever, James turned to leave but stopped when he heard their voices.
"So are you going to tell him it was you at the ball?" Henrietta asked.
It was silent for a brief moment. "No. Let him continue thinking it was you, Henrietta. It'll be easier for all of us.
James left the manor in a trance of sorts. What the hell were they talking about? Luna was pretending to be her maid? When? And when was he involved? The ball obviously. But he was sure he'd be able to pick out Luna anywhere. He never saw her there.
Let him continue thinking it was you, Henrietta...
Could it be that Luna disguised herself to dance with him at the ball? He shook his head. It was impossible, wasn't it?
A/n: I'm pretty sure you all had a hunch... But here you go any way. Since this chapter is entirely too short of a chapter and I'm just in such a good mood today for reasons unbeknowest to moi, I'm going to put two chapters up.
The song of course is Enchanted by Taylor Swift. Why I've chosen naught but her I don't know. But I do know that I don't own her music or anything else recognizable, Namely Norry.
Thanks for reading. Now if you'll review I'd much appreciate it!
