--------------------------
Maria's Point of View
---------------------------
"Where are my Glasses!" Taylor shrieked, yes shrieked, at everyone in a 5 mile radius. She has been shrieking at us all morning. If it's not about her glasses, than it was her hat, or her beaded necklaces. I sighed and looked around the deck. I felt a blush rise on my cheeks when I came across Will, who today was working the sails, without a shirt. When Taylor saw me, uh staring, she came over and took a moment out of her screeching to hum Hopelessly Devoted in my ear. I swatted at her arm, but she dodged my hand and started to interrogate Mr. Gibbs about her lost stuff.
"Ever think that, just maybe, you might have lost them when you went overboard, idiot?" I interrupted. Mr. Gibbs rolled his eyes and walked away slowly, obviously wondering if he was going to be attacked by the "crazy lass" (his words, not mine), and Taylor looked at the mast as if it had done her a personal wrong. I smirked. "Hmm, so I'm guessing that you didn't think about that possibility, did you."
"Well, Ms. Bloom, the lass here can be a bit, how do you put it, ah yes, dense, sometimes." Captain Jack said as he walked past us. Taylor leveled him with a glare, but he just smiled and walked away. I think that I might have seen the black plastic of Taylor's glasses in his pocket, but it must have been a trick of the light. Otherwise, Taylor would have seen it, seeing as she was staring right at his retreating back. Scratch that, his retreating ass! I smile and swatted at her again, this time I didn't miss though.
"Ow!" She, you guessed it, shrieked. I shrugged and she narrowed her eyes at me. "I hate that man." She said, but I just laughed at her.
"You guys have so much sexual tension radiating off of you, that you can practically feel it pulling you in." She rolled her eyes, but I decided to have a little more fun with it. Acting like I was being pulled towards her, I grabbed onto the railing of the ship. "No! I don't want to be taken! Save me!" I yelled, drawing the attention of some of the crew members. Anna Maria took no notice, but I saw her smile a bit.
"Stop it, Maria. You're acting like an idiot." Taylor hissed, but I knew she wasn't concerned about the crew, just its captain. I laughed and then fell to the floor. "Get up off the ground!" Taylor said before walking to the other side of the ship and sitting on the railing. I got up off the ground and huffed in her general direction before walking over to sit on the stairs.
"Maria? Is everything alright?" My breath caught in my throat as I looked up and saw Will standing in front of me, shirtless. He sat staring at me for a minute as I caught my breath and tried to regulate my breathing. When that was done, I continued to stare and so did he. I started to fidget with my hair and tried not to focus all of my attention on the way his pants hung low on his hips. Plus, his abs that made any man run to the gym. "Are you alright, Maria?" He asked again and I brought my attention back up to his face.
I nodded my head. "Sure, everything's fine Will. Why do you ask?" I said sounding as if I had just run a mile, which I hadn't. I haven't been getting enough exercise lately. Anyways, Will nodded his head and sat down on the stairs next to me. We were in such close proximity that I could see exactly how beautiful his eyes were. He caught me staring and we both blushed.
"You looked a little downtrodden." Will answered, staring into my eyes. I didn't even care that he had used a word that would have usually made Taylor and I go into a fit of giggles. He was so close, and if I leaned my head to the right a little….
"Mr. Turner! Back to work, Taylor is having a little trouble with the rigging." Someone called from above us. We had jumped apart at the interruption, and Jack strode down the stairs, in-between us, and over to where Taylor was hanging upside down with her arms crossed over her chest. I sighed at the interruption and Will sprung up from the stairs and down to where Jack was standing.
"How do you do it, Taylor?" Will asked incredulously, climbing up the mast to help lower the ropes down so Taylor could get safely to the ground again. I rolled my eyes and walked over to stand where Taylor should have been, had she not been in the ropes.
"Well, William, it is a complicated matter that involves many hours of brilliance to conceive. I am truly sorry that we don't have time to elaborate today, seeing as all of the blood in my body is now making its way into my brain and as we speak I am loosing the strength to live." Taylor explained, throwing her hands around and making her sway dangerously on the rope.
"Otherwise known as, she is one of the clumsiest, if not the most clumsy person on this Earth." I said, and Will laughed. I smile came to my face when I heard his lovely laugh. Sigh. I looked over to where Jack and Taylor were having a stare down. Jack was smirking and Taylor was glaring at him, but I could tell she was trying to make her face stay angry. Cus' really, who could stay mad at everyone's favorite pirate. Unless of course, you didn't like said pirate or he wasn't your favorite. Then I guess you could stay mad. Anyways, they were having a very heated stare off, when I decided to intervene. "The sexual tension, it's pulling me in!" I said, acting like I was resisting an invisible force field. "Don't let it take me!"
"Just shut uhhhhhh!" Taylor screamed as the rigging was loosened and she fell to the ground in a heap of jingling charms (made by her skirt, of course). We all started to laugh, even Will who had unceremoniously dropped her, and Taylor stood up. " It is not funny." She said, which made us all laugh more, even most of the crew joined in. She huffed before going and walking off in the direction of our "cabins", which was really just a store room we claimed as our own, stealing blankets and making a make-shift bed.
We continued to laugh, even when Jack stopped and looked around at everyone. After a few minutes, we looked to Jack who was staring at us with wide eyes. "Back to work you scabrous dogs! There's no time to lose!" And with that he bounded back up the stairs to the helm at breakneck speed. I shook my head, but smiled. The man was truly crazy.
---------------------------
Taylor's Point of View
---------------------------
"God, this is so boring." I said as Maria, Will, Jack, and myself sat in a little row boat on our way to the cave. We weren't even half-way there yet, and already I just wanted to throw myself to the sharks, which trust me, is not a metaphor seeing as our tiny boat was surrounded my sharks. "Daa, dum. Daa, dum." I said quietly humming the song from Jaws. Maria gave me a death glare, but I kept doing it.
"Stop Taylor. That's freaking me out." Maria said, slightly whimpering and looking into the ocean at the sharks. "It would be so easy for one of those killers," She said, emphasizing the word. "To attack us. Then you wouldn't be joking around with that song anymore." I smiled back innocently and when she turned to look at Jack, I rocked the boat slightly. She screamed and "coincidently" jumped into Will's lap. Jack and I laughed as Maria and Will looked at each other, his hands steadying her and hers on his shoulders, a slight blush on each of their cheeks. I was jealous for a minute about Maria's perfect blush, but brushed it off as she got out of his lap and gave me a death glare/half-smile. Don't ask how it's possible, because even I don't know.
"Ladies, if you're done with your little argument, then can we please continue?" Jack asked us. I narrowed my eyes at him and Maria nodded her head once to show that we agreed. I sighed, loudly, and leaned back in the rowboat, dipping my hand in the water, then pulling it out quickly. Forgot about the sharks there for a minute, plus the water felt really slimy.
When we got into the cave, it took forever I might add, I smiled and started to laugh. They all looked at me as if I was crazy and I put a hand over my mouth to stop myself from laughing. A few giggles escaped, but I wasn't that loud. They continued to stare at me, so I asked the obvious question. "What?" Maria looked at Will and Jack as if she was sorry for my behavior, and then turned to me.
"What are you laughing at? I don't see anything funny about this cave. Unless it would be Elizabitch's impending doom." I smiled wickedly when I heard Maria say the name we call Ms. Swan and she blushed, looking at Will to see if he noticed. I don't think he did, but then again, he could be a really good actor. That made me laugh again. I know it's lame to laugh at your own jokes, but hey, I cant help myself. "I mean, what are you laughing at?" Maria asked innocently.
"You know that Geico commercial?" I asked her. She nodded and I ignore the questioning looks from Will and Jack. "Well I was just thinking about that one saying. You know, 'So easy a caveman could do it"? I thought it was funny, cus' couldn't you see Jack and Will as cavemen?' I told her. She thought about it for a minute, staring back and forth between Jack and Will, before busting out into laughter. I joined her and Jack and Will looked at us as if we were crazy. We probably are.
"Oh gosh! I can see it. That would be soo funny." She said, giggling every now and then. I smiled and we sat in silence for a few minutes before Will began to ask Jack questions again. We rode past the skeletal head thing and Maria and I looked at each other. "Nice." I said and she nodded her head.
"What code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?" Will asked after seeing the skeleton. He looked weirded out, but then again, so did everyone else.
"Pirates code." Jack stated happily. I grimaced at the butterflies that pooled in my stomach at the sound of his voice. Curse you, butterflies! "Any man who falls behind, is left behind." Jack continued. Will looked doubtful and somewhat disgusted by that.
"No heroes amongst thieves, aye?" Will asked. He kind of said it a bit meanly, and Jack felt the need to defend himself and all the other pirates of the world.
"You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates, you're well on your way to becoming one." Jack said. I smirked at Maria and she stuck her tongue out at me. She hated this part of the movie because Jack kind of 'disciplines' Will. Somewhat anyways. "Sprung a man from jail," 'excuse me' "and woman, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer feel from Tortuga. And your completely obsessed with treasure." Jack finished as the boat hit the ground. We hopped out and Will muttered somewhat angrily.
"That's not true! I'm not obsessed with treasure." I rolled my eyes. He was acting like a baby. Maria got a sour look on her face as we climbed the hill and saw Elizabitch. This was one of my favorite parts of the movie. Barbossa!
"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate." Jack said, turning his eyes away from the 'ceremony' and over to us for a minute. The giggly feeling is back again, but I'm going to associate it with the fact that Barbossa is standing so close to us! I love Barbossa, almost but not quite, as much as Jack. "Maria, it's Barbossa!" I whispered excitedly. She smiled and moved up a bit to see him, but frowned when she saw Eliabitch.
"I hate her." I heard her mumble, so I scrambled down the slope to catch up with Maria who was going back to the boat.
"Whatcha doing?" I asked, prancing up to where she was gathering oars and putting them in our original rowboat.
"Gathering oars." Was the mumbled reply I got. I rolled my eyes.
"Why are you doing that? Are you actually saving some of the work that Elizabitch would have to do?' I asked her disbelievingly. She stopped for a moment, debating whether or not to continue, but then she picked up a few more oars and moved them into the rowboat again. "Do you care about her?" I asked, shuddering. I really don't like Elizabitch, if you haven't noticed already.
"No, but she would end up making Will do all the work anyways. So I might as well just do it so he doesn't have to." Maria continued to pick up the oars so I bent down to help. Swinging one around in my hand and missing Maria's head by an inch, I walked over to the rowboats.
"I think that I'm going to stay here and talk to Hector. Do you think we can meet up again after the battle?" I asked her, dropping the oar into the boat and walking back up to her again. She nodded her head at me. "So, do you think that you would come onto the island, cus that's what I'm goina do even if I have to jump off the side of the ship. Or, do you want to stay with Will?" Once again, she only nodded. I sighed and walked over to her, knocking some of the oars out of her hand so that she would listen to me. "Don't kill her, o.k.? It would ruin the movie." I said, and I finally got a smile out of her.
"O.k. fine. But only because it would ruin the movie." She said. I smiled and heard an offending smack and thump on the floor. "Looks like it's time to go." Maria said and we hugged.
"See you in the next scene." I said, and she laughed. I walked off, leaving her to climb into the boat and walked over to where Jack was lying on the ground. "Jack, when will you learn?" I asked rhetorically, seeing as there was no one to here me around. Rolling my eyes, I walked over to where we had been sitting earlier. I climbed on top of the rock and sat down, pulling at one of the strings in my pirate skirt, and waiting to be found by the 'dead' pirates.
I'm so bored.
--------------------
Maria's Point of View
-------------------
We, meaning Will, myself, and Elizabeth as she had told me to call her, (yeah right!) were sitting in the boat on the way back to the Interceptor. Elizabitch was shivering and shooting me glances and I helped Will row the boat and asked useless questions. Ha! See if I'm going to let you steal my man! I was trying my hardest not to pick up the oar in my hand and take a swipe at Elizabitch when we reached the boat. Snootily, she got up and climbed the ladder that led up to the top. Will went after her, all but falling over himself to help. I rolled my eyes and left the rowboat on the side of the ship, not bothering to tie it up, as I climbed up the ladder and stepped onto deck. Elizabeth looked offended by the sigh of more pirates and I tried not to smirk. It happened anyway.
"Not more pirates." Elizabeth whined and I rolled my eyes at her, leveling her a glare. She glanced around and then back at me, glaring at me as I was her. I guess it was going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be to follow Taylor's advice and not kill her. She really was a bitch!
"Hey boy, where be Jack and the other miss?" Gibbs asked Will, who didn't even look the least bit ashamed as he should. He must have just been putting up an act for Elizabitch. Humph, I hated when she came into the movie, because Will went back to having a stick up his ass.
"Jack?" Elizabeth asked no one in particular, putting the spotlight back on her, again. "Jack Sparrow?!" She shrieked at Will, who gave her a weird look that must have answered her question. Gibbs was still looking for an answer, so Will looked back to him.
"He fell behind." I said, seeing as Will was acting like an idiot. He gave me a look, but I didn't care, because I was upset that he would even want to have anything to do with a pompous poser like Elizabeth Swann. Gibbs looked upset for a minute, before shouting something to the crew. Will began to lead Elizabitch away and then turned back to me.
"Do you mind if Elizabeth shares a cabin with you now that Taylor is gone?" Will asked me. I stared at him with wide eyes and my mouth hanging to the ground. Was he serious? Evidently he was, because he took my gaping look as a yes and led Elizabeth off to where Taylor's and mine's cabin was. Elizabitch turned around and shot me a glance. I closed my fists together and stalked after them. This was not going to happen to me.
"Ah, Will? I don't think that she will be able to use that cabin." I said as they turned down the hallway to get to our cabin. Will stopped and Elizabeth turned around. She looked me up and down, then gave me one of her 'I'm so awesome' looks.
"And why ever not? It seems that it would be big enough if it held you and someone else." she said. Wait a minute, did she just call me fat? I don't think so! I am in no way fat, and neither is Taylor so I really hope she isn't talking about us.
"Well, Elizabitch," I said, not even bothering this time to cover it up, "Taylor and I are very strict about who we let into our 'sanctuary' (Taylor's words, not mine) and I just don't think you're going to cut it." I said, giving her a sickly sweet smile. If she wanted to play dirty, than we could play dirty. She looked affronted and then turned to Will, who was watching me as if I was yelling bomb or something.
"What are you saying, Ms. Bloom?" She questioned me. I smiled at her in a way that was pure evil, or so my brothers tell me. She looked back at me angrily.
"Well, Ms. Swann, I just don't think that I want a harlot staying in the same room with me." She gasped and I put my hand over my mouth. "Oops. Did I say that out loud?" I questioned. She gave me what I'm sure should have been a menacing look, but it just made me smile more, before she left the hallway, stalking off and turning the corner.
I looked back to Will, who was smiling and trying not to laugh, which made me happy. Elizabeth popped her head around the corner. "Will, I could use some help." She said sternly. He gave me a small smile before turning around and walking back out onto deck. I laughed to myself as I went in my room and gathered up some of our stuff so it wouldn't blow up on the ship. I had called Elizabitch a slut and gotten Will to laugh with me.
I love being me.
