Not quite there yet, Kate. Will's still got a few things to do before he goes. We really just need to get them to Tia's in one piece without running into the Dutchman or Beckett.

I've got a few things planned for Will and Elizabeth once they get to Tia's, a bit of amusing stuff for Jack, and one thing for James.


By the way, why do we celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

It's all right, Kate. We'll get them there. Willo, I'll go next, then.

Well, maybe you'll feel like popping in later, right?

Almost done with my post, ladies. I got distracted by sudden inspiration for my novel, and it had to be written. I'm sure you understand how that is.


By the way, Kate, Will doesn't want to kill Beckett, the Will/Elizabeth romance is as it should be since they are married, Beckett wants Tia's powers to help him out, Tia is Up To No Good, Jones is evil and wants to kill people (especially Will), and no one is really getting along all that well. It's mostly just that they are being civil with each other because there's no choice. There's lots of sniping and nastiness, but there's no double-crossing because it's not necessary to the plot as of now.


Hope that clears things up for you.

I still am. I just got hired for a part time job so I haven't had a great deal of time to finish up writing, but I'm going to finish the post today, finally.

Ok, here's a little scene I wrote, with a bit of help from Willo. I'm out of time, so I'll post this up.

A bit of pirating will happen next, and I think Willo called dibbs on the next scene as well, so we shall see what happens.


-------

--TWO DAYS LATER –

THE INTREPID – CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS – AFTERNOON

(( All the captains of Elizabeth and James’ small fleet are gathered in the room. There is an air of tension in the room, and by the expressions on people’s faces, there is a disagreement among them.))

James: And you couldn’t have mentioned this when we were in port yesterday?

Qiao: I hadn’t taken the vote until today.

James: (face darkens) I see.

(Jack smiles brightly at everyone and raises his hand, stepping forward so that James can ‘see’ him better. James’ locks his jaw in annoyance. Will and Elizabeth seem simultaneously amused and dismayed that Jack is about to open his mouth.)

Jack: If I may just interject my professional opinion –

James: If I said ‘no’, would you be quiet?

Jack: No. Now, as to this matter of pirating, I think that Captain Qoe—Quincey—Quiche--

Qiao: (annoyed) Qiao!

Jack: That’s the one! Is right. The crews will be much more settled if we find a ship that needs to be relieved of its excess accoutrements.

(James blows out a breath and scowls. Elizabeth seems uncertain, but then she nods in agreement with Jack.)

Elizabeth: I think Jack is right, James. We’re going to have to do something to appease the crews.

James: (sharply) We are not appeasing anyone, Elizabeth.

(Elizabeth looks annoyed.)

Elizabeth: What choice do we have?

James: (coolly) We do NOT appease the crews, Elizabeth. I will agree, however, that in order to reach our destination we will need certain provisions, and therefore, when we come across some French ships, we will take them.

(There is startled silence in the room as they realize that James has not only agreed to do some pirating, but has also chosen their target.)

James: Any other concerns that need to be addressed?

Qiao: (looking at James in a new light.) No.

(She bows to him and leaves. Elizabeth looks furious, and she storms out after Qiao without saying good-bye. Will shrugs apologetically at James and goes after his wife.)

Barbossa: (admiringly)You’ve got stones, I’ll give you that, commodore.

Jack: Is this what they call teamwork in the navy?

(James turns slowly towards Jack, a murderous glint in his green eyes.)

James: Do you have a problem, Sparrow?

Jack: Not as such, only Elizabeth –

James: Is perfectly capable of defending herself. She has to learn quickly, or would you rather she learned the hard way, as you yourself did?

(There is silence from Jack.)

James: As I thought. Good day, gentlemen.

--

THE EMPRESS – JAMES’ CABIN

(James is taken back to The Empress. He keeps his stone-faced expression as he walks across the decks and into his cabin. There is a knock on the door.)

James: (sighs) Enter.

(Anne enters the cabin, and James suppresses another sigh. He doesn’t want to deal with another moody female.)

James: What can I do for you, Anne?

Anne: (looks him over) You look awful.

James: (flinches) Then I look better than I feel.

(He sighs, offers Anne the chair in his room, and slouches onto the hard mattress on the floor that serves as his bed. Anne smiles sympathetically.)

Anne: I saw Elizabeth return.

James: How did she seem?

Anne: (pulls a bottle from the satchel she wears to carry medical supplies) I think you might need this before you face her again.

James: (smiles wryly and takes the bottle) Thank you.

Anne: My pleasure. (she smiles and stands) I should…probably go.

(James stands and nods. After she leaves, he looks down at the bottle, then at the door, and he smiles.)

--

THE EMPRESS – ON DECK

(James leaves his cabin and looks on the crowded deck until he spots Anne. She is sitting down, attempting to splice ropes together to make them stronger.)

James: Keeping yourself busy, I see.

Anne: (tartly) Some of us enjoy staying busy. Why aren’t you resting?

James: (dryly) Some of us enjoy staying busy. (Sits down beside her and watches) You’re doing it wrong.

(Anne shoots him a glare and scowls. James chuckles and reaches over, his hand brushing hers accidentally. They both flush and draw away at the same time.)

James: I’ll show you…

(He shows Anne how to splice the rope in a way that keeps it from unraveling itself. She watches him, as he patiently explains the process to her. Then she reaches over and snags the rum bottle, and opens it.)

Anne: You’re looking peaky. Drink.

(James hesitates.)

Anne: You need it. I know that you’re in pain, James. If you won’t accept the laudanum, at least take the edge away. You aren’t going to do us any good if you fall flat on your face, commodore.

James: (reluctantly takes the bottle, takes a swallow of rum, then offers her the bottle) Care to join me?

(Anne looks around the ship, filled with pirates. She looks at her dirty clothes, then at James’ unshaved face.)

Anne: Yes, I think I will.

(She takes a sip as well. Having struck an accord, they sit together, drinking rum and talking while they splice ropes.)

I'll see if Willo wants to write the pirating or if I should, then she's going to write about Tia.

I'll do it then, since I have quite a bit written out already. I've been wanting them to do this since we started the fic.


Much pirating, some more zippy one-liners, snark, violence and more Evil Plots (tm) abound.

Sorry. I got side-tracked by RL again. Some contractor and soldier friends from Iraq came home, and I've been busy making calls, getting squished in bear hugs, and laughing and crying. So I'll get my post up either tonight or tomorrow.

I apologize for the delay, and I thank you for your patience.

Hey Diddley, are you planning on posting this somewhere? And thanks for the compliment!
