"The Visitor"
Prompt: Mary-Sue
This drabble is dedicated to my loving sister, (because I promised I would).
"…They say she appears out of thin air, a ghost-like figure. Always beautiful- white teeth and nice clothes and everythin'. She takes a ride along yer ship trying to escape from some misfortunate situation. Then she overtakes the plot; and next thing ya know, you've become out of character and all the constancies in the movie are thrown to the depths."
"Aw, come off it Gibbs," spat Pintel, "Ya know Mary-Sues ain't real."
Gibbs sputtered and threw a glare at the grizzled pirate. "Aye, course they be true," he said confidently. "Happens more than ya think. There be long-lost daughters and 21st century youngin's running amuck here. Ya never know when one'll show up."
Ragetti, whittling his wooden eye, glanced up nervously. "Ya…ya don't think Dr. Sugar would make one, do ya?"
Gibbs took a long swig of rum. "Who knows lad?" he said, wiping his mouth. "The lass has been rare on pirate tales lately." A mummer of agreement spread across the pirates.
"Rawk, forks and accordions," screeched Cotton's parrot.
"Cotton's right," said Pintel. "That girl has been comin' up with some weird ones lately. I wouldn't be surprised if one 'o those she-devils were to fall from the sky."
A brilliant flash of light burst from above the ship, lighting the nighttime sky. A young girl plummeted from the light and landed on top of Marty.
"Oww, my head," she moaned and picked herself off the floor, seemingly unhurt. Marty lied on the deck dazed and confused. All the pirates starred at the young woman in disbelief.
"Oh hello," she said cheerfully, "My name is Giselle Barbossa. I'm looking for my uncle, have any of you seen him?"
Pintel met Gibbs' eye, who gave a confirmative nod. Smirks spread throughout the crew as they slowly began to surround the mysterious maiden. A few pulled out their cutlasses as well.
"Uh wow, you guys are…sure getting close," Giselle laughed nervously. "I mean, I find you all very attractive; but I don't usually take on multiple partners at one time. You'll just have to wait your turn and share."
"We don't want to share," said Pintel, rubbing his flintlock pistol menacingly. Giselle paled and started to back away.
"Heh, heh. You know Doc didn't mean it right? She, she was just pulling a prank, that's all." The pirates moved in closer.
"I don't like vegetables! I…I sleep around with anyone! I'm not a good singer!" Giselle backed against the edge of the ship, desperately trying to think of more un-Mary-Sueish characteristics. "It was a joke!" she screamed hysterically. "A joke! Come on, you gotta believe me!"
"Rawk, throw her overboard!" Giselle's eyes filled with terror as the pirates lunged in.
