Taylor's Point of View

A Note For Life: Jack Sparrow, sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow, does not like it when people steal his hat.

O.k. So after the whiny baby, or Jack, got his hat back we figured that we would "commandeer" a ship of the fleet. "Sparrow, why couldn't I go with Maria? She didn't have to get wet." I complained. You see, we were under a boat that was under the ocean! As cool as it looks in the movie, it was anything but. It was hot, sticky, and my feet didn't touch the ground so they were practically dragging me. Normally I'm a pretty tall girl, but compared to these giants, I was about 5 inches too short.

"Because luv, you were the one who said you wanted to come with us. Not with Miss Maria." Jack said. I think he might have been getting annoyed with me, but I didn't really care. I was hungry and because of him, I had to spend last night in jail. Thank goodness Will decided to intervene because I was making strangling motions towards Jack's neck. It wasn't a very good idea though, because I let go of the boat and started to sink.

"Help! Help me!" I shrieked. Before I could go completely under though, Jack reached behind him and pulled me back up. Once again, I thought, my hero. Not that I couldn't swim or anything, but I just didn't want to open my eyes in salt water.

"This is either madness," Will said. "Or brilliance." He really was awed by this. Come on Willy, you can do this with anything.

"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack said. I looked back to see Will give Jack a look, and I started to giggle. "Somethin' funny, luv?" Jack asked me.

"Sir, no sir!" I said. Jack gave me a weird look, and then we heard a weird crunching noise. Will stopped for a minute and looked down at his foot. Oh yeah, the lobster trap. I started to laugh even more at this. "Sorry Will, that's just too funny." I said, when he gave me a hurt look. He smiled and shrugged it off.

A couple minutes later, Jack stopped. "O.k. Now we're goin' let the boa' go, and swim up wit' it." Jack said to us. Will nodded, and Jack let go of the boat. We sat where we were for a minute and the boat didn't do anything. I stood there looking for a reason that the boat wasn't moving and realized Jack was giving me an annoyed look.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I asked. Will gave a snort of laughter and Jack looked pointedly up at where my hands were. Still holding the boat. "Oops." I said and let go of the boat. We started to swim up to the surface of the water. When we reached the top, there was a rope hanging down the side of the ship. Looking up to see where it came from, I saw Maria standing up at the top of the ship, smiling at us.

"Ahoy Matey!" She shouted and jack and Will looked up to where she was. Jack grabbed the rope and motioned for me to go ahead. I shook my head at him and he rolled his eyes. "Go ahead, luv. Climb the rope." He said. Once again I shook my head no. He sighed. "Why no'?"

"Because, I am in a skirt, and you are a pirate." I said. He gave me his gold-toothed smile and began to climb the rope. I looked to Will, who was bobbing in the water next to me. "You won't peek, will you?" I asked him. I really wanted him to say no so I could go up the rope and if I fell he could catch me.

Will smiled at me and shook his head. "Taylor, I am an honest gentlemen. I would never do that." He said. I laughed and patted him on the head, before climbing up the rope towards Jack and Maria, who were waiting for us. Let me just say right now, that I am NOT a good rope climber. It took me about 10 minutes to get halfway up the rope.

Realizing that I was jeopardizing the mission, I got off the rope and slid in a window towards the top of the ship. I would just have to make it up the rest of the way by taking the stairs. When I actually got in the window though, I realized I had made a small mistake. I was in the Captain's Quarters and he was sitting at his desk, with his back facing me.

"Well, mate, you might want to get on deck," I said, and the Captain whipped around to face me. "I think there might be a commandeering going on." The Captain looked at me for a moment, before racing out the door and up towards the deck. I followed him, though I was a little disappointed that he didn't think I was a threat to him or his ship. When we got up to the deck, we were just in time to here Will yell, "Aye, avast!" Which I never really understood, but all the soldiers laughed and the one with the really poofy wig said, "This ship cannon be crewed by two men." When he made no move to mention Maria or me, I made my way over to where Jack and Will were standing so they would see us. But they still didn't say anything.

Jack didn't seem to care though. He pulled out his pistol and held it between the man's eyes. "Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?" The man took a deep breath and then ordered his men to the row boats. As Will ushered them in there and Jack went to work on messing up the ship so it wouldn't follow us, Maria and I decided that we would encourage them by singing.

"Ready Maria!" I shouted from the opposite side of the ship. I looked over to where Maria was at and she held up her thumbs. "Ready Taylor!" She shouted back.

"Da, Da da dum, da da dum dum dum dum." I shouted/sang and Maria marched around on her side of the ship. Then we started to sing.

"Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination." Maria sang and I started to dance around the deck of the ship, avoiding Jack and Will who were trying to put up the sails.

"And when he's tall, he's what we call a dinosaur sensation!" I sang, and Maria and me made to go closer to the middle of the ship. We skipped the next part, because Maria forgot, and went to the next verse, which we sang together. "Barney shows us lots of things, like how to play pretend. A.B.C's and 1,2,3's and how to be a friend." we sang dancing around the mast of the ship, and the now very amused looking Will Turner and Jack Sparrow.

"Barney comes to play with us whenever we may need him, Barney can be your friend too, if you just make believe him!" We sang and then dropped to the ground in a exaggerated bow. Laughing, Maria and I high-fived and then looked at Jack and Will.

"What?" Maria asked. Jack and Will just looked at each other and walked back up to the helm of the ship. Maria shrugged and walked over to where I was still sitting on the ground. She reached her hand out to me and helped me off the ground. "I bet they think we're crazy." Maria told me.

"Never." I said and we both laughed and climbed the stairs to the helm of the ship. Jack was watching us come up the stairs and Will was looking behind him. I looked out to where the Interceptor was and watched as the sail's were let down. "Here they come!" Will said and Jack turned his head and gave that little half-smile thing. I sighed and Maria acted like she was fanning my face. "If you ladies will stop fooling around, than I'll tell ye what we have to do next." Jack said.

Maria gasped and I tried my best to look affronted. "We, sir," I said pointing to myself and Maria. "Never fool around. We are of the utmost seriousness in every situation." Jack just rolled his eyes and turned back to Will.

"Alrigh' When the Interceptor makes its way over to us, we'll take these ropes, and swing across to the other ship, savvy?" He asked us. Will shook his head to say he understood and Maria said, "Aye, Aye Cap'n." But I shook my head no. Jack sighed and looked at me. "What is it now?"

"I'm afraid of heights." I stated. I wasn't just afraid, I HATED heights of any kind. Like one time, when we were in St. Louis, I wouldn't go near the arch because it was so high up. Jack just rolled his eyes at me.

"Then ye'll have to ride with me." he said, smirking. I sighed and crossed my arms. "Fine." I said dejectedly. "If I must." Maria looked at me and laughed, she knew that it wouldn't hurt me any to have to hold on to Jack Sparrow. Especially if he had to hold on to me. Oh well, innocent until proven guilty.

Finally, the Interceptor pulled up beside us. We were already in are hiding spots as the other soldiers started to board. When all of the soldiers were on the Dauntless, I was picked up and before I knew it we were on the other side of the ship, standing on a different dock. "Take this, and go and cut the ropes." Jack told me as he handed me an axe type thing. I did as I was told and cut all of the ropes. Before long, though, the Commodore realized we weren't on the ship and that we were on a totally different one, sailing into the horizon. "Soldiers, back to the Interceptor. Now!" The Commodore bellowed and his soldiers swung on their ropes, but needless to say, they missed by about a mile.

"Thanks for helping us make way!" Jack shouted from the helm. "We were having a hard time wit' it by ourselves." Bullets started to fly at us and we all ducked. Before long, though, we were out of range and were sailing away from Port Royale.

"Yay! Here we go, to fight the buccaneers, save the damsel in distress, and just be all around awesome!" I shouted and saw Will go up to the helm, where Jack was securing ropes. I turned and looked at Maria, who was studying her nails. "So bestest friend, is there something you want to tell me?" Maria looked up from hernails quickly and then to where Will and Jack were arguing.

"No!" she said quickly. I raised my eyebrow at her and she took a deep breath. "I mean, No, I don't remember anything." I laughed at her and then shouted up to where Jack was standing and Will was hanging over the ocean.

"We're going down below! Don't follow us!" Jack just waved his hands at us, and Will managed to nod his head. Whether it was to us or to Jack, I didn't care. I dragged Maria down the stairs and into the Captain's Cabin. "O.k. Ms. Bloom, spill."

"I don't know…" Maria started and then switched what she was going to say in the middle of her sentence. "I kissed Will!" she all but screamed. My mouth dropped open and Maria flushed a pretty shade of crimson. It wasn't fair that when she blushed she looked sweet, but when I blushed I just looked like a lobster. I don't really like lobster either, crabs are o.k. though. Maria is looking at me like I'm going to snap her head off. Oh yeah, the whole she kissed Will thing. I decided to ask the obvious question.

"You kissed Will?" She nodded her head. "O.k. Like how?" I asked. She looked at me for a moment and then went into the gruesome details. Well, not really that gruesome.

"We were outside the jail, and I just kissed him. But it wasn't like he didn't kiss me back, because he did. What does this mean? I don't want to ruin the story!" She said, and dramatically fell to the bed. I looked at her from where I was sitting in the Captain's chair of the desk, then I started to giggle. "What are you giggling at? Don't you understand that I could have put the movie at risk?"

This made me laugh harder. " 'I could put the movie at risk.'" I mocked her. "Hunny, don't worry about the movie! You kissed William Turner, a.k.a. Orlando Bloom, and your worrying about the movie?" I shook my head at her and tipped the chair back Jack Sparrow style. "Embrace it, you kissed Orlando Bloom."

Maria took a minute to contemplate this, then a big grin broke out on her face. "I kissed Orlando Bloom." She said slowly as if trying out the words on her lips. "I kissed Will Turner." She said again. Then she got an even bigger smile on her face, rivaling that of the Cheshire Cat. "I kissed Will!" She said and got up, and started to jump on the bed. When she got done jumping, she ran over to me and then dragged me back to the bed to jump with her. "I kissed him!" she sang. I decided to go along with her, cus' if you cant beat em', join em'.

"You kissed him!" I sang along with her as we jumped on the bed, scattering feathers everywhere. I picked up a pillow and started to beat the crap out of Maria. When she had finally gotten a mouth full of feathers, courtesy of a well-aimed hit by me, she grabbed another pillow and started to whack at me.

When we had finally ran out of ammo, about 15 minutes later, we collapsed on the bed. "This has got to be the best time I've ever had." Maria said. I laughed and hit her with the now empty pillow bag. We were about to get up and go look for more pillows, when a voice from the door stopped us. "Now, as fun as that's been, the whelp and I need you up on deck."

Maria and I dropped are pillows and turned around. "Caught in the act." I said with all the despair I could muster in this situation. "Well, I guess if we have no other choice, than we could help you boys up at the helm." I said and then took off running up the stairs, with Maria behind me. When we reached the deck, I saw Will working the sails and no one at the helm. It looked a tad lonely. "To the helm!" I said with a wicked smile on my face. I heard pounding coming from the stairs and I took off in a sprint towards the helm.

I shall say one time, that I am not a very coordinated or graceful person. Running up the stairs, well that wasn't to good of an idea. You see, I fall up the stairs, not down. Like I could run down stairs at a full sprint and nothing would happen, but if I am to run up the stairs at a full sprint, than you're guaranteed that I will not make it up them. So you can imagine what it would be like for me to sprint up wooden stairs, that are wet from the sea spray. Not a pretty image.

"Ahhhhh!" I yelled as my foot missed a step and I came crashing down the stairs that led to the helm. I landed in a heap on the ground, spread eagle and looking up towards the sky. "Could no one have told me the stairs were WET?!" I questioned, ahem, yelled. All I was responded with was Maria's maniacal laughing, combined with Will and Jack's deep, manly laughter.

"Well, I think I'll just go help with the, um, those things." Maria pointed up towards where the ropes on the mast were. I hope she doesn't try to climb up to the crows nest. That could be disastrous. I finally got up off of the floor, no thanks to anyone's help, and then decided I would try the stairs one more time. I looked up to the helm where Jack had taken place at the helm.

"Jack," I called. He looked down at me and smirked. "May I help steer the ship?" I asked. I must say I had asked pretty politely, but he just shook his head no and pointed towards where Maria and Will were tying the ropes and hoisting the sails, or some other sailor thing. I sighed and decided to try my luck with the crow's nest. I might just make it up if I'm careful enough.

Fifteen Minutes Later

"Somebody, please help me down." I cried. I looked down, or was it up, at Maria, Jack, and Will, who were once again laughing at my current predicament. What is that predicament, you ask? Well, halfway up to the crow's nest, my foot slipped on the ropes and on my way falling down, I got tangled up in the ropes, upside down, where I have been for the last 10 minutes. My so called best friend didn't feel the need to help me. "Maria, if you don't get me down than I'm going to tell your mom about the time we drowned your house." I yelled. Maria just looked at me and smirked.

"But if I remember correctly, you were there to help." Oh dang, I forgot about that. Well then, I'll just say something else. Think Taylor, what have you all done that wouldn't get you in trouble. Ah hah! I've got it.

"Fine, I'll tell her about Jordan!" I said. I knew I had gotten her this time. You see, Jordan was Maria's stalker. He talked to her all the time! She didn't even know who this guy was, but her mom wouldn't care, she would forbid her from doing anything until this Jordan guy left her alone. Which would be a very long time.

"Fine, I'm coming. Hold on." Maria huffed and started to climb the ropes, which was easier for her now that she had on some regular clothes that she had found in one of the cabins. When she got up to me, she gave me a dirty look and helped me get untangled. Once we were safely on the ground, I looked at her and gave her a hug.

"I wouldn't have told your mom. If I had, I would never see you again." I said and she punched me playfully in the arm, but it still hurt a little. I turned back to the boys. "So, where are we sailing this scrap wood to?" I asked.

"This is supposed to be the fastest ship in the Caribbean." Maria said, mocking Elizabitch Swann. I laughed and looked at her seriously.

"No, that would be the Black Pearl." I said. Jack shook his head yes and Maria huffed and crossed her arms across her chest.

"To answer your question, Taylor, we are going to Tortuga. Sparrow here, says that it is the best port in all the Caribbean." William said. I curtsied and then looked around.

"Well that sounds great." I said sarcastically. We all laughed, about what I said or just because we felt like laughing, I wasn't sure. But we laughed anyways. When we were done with our hysterical laughter, Jack looked at Maria and myself.

"How does one drown a house?" He asked. Maria and I looked at each other and then started to laugh again.

Sometimes you just don't want to know.
