9 (part 3) : Tom Sawyer's Island

Skylar was sent onto the Black Pearl. While Jack and Elizabeth were in a heated discussion, she stood by unnoticed for the time being. She had also been mysteriously dressed as a pirate although Skylar was still 14.

"One day, you won't be able to resist." Jack said smugly at Elizabeth.

"Why doesn't your compass work?" She responded annoyed.

He paused. "My compass works fine."

"Because you and I are alike. And there will come a moment when you'll have a chance to show it. To do the right thing." Elizabeth told himself hoping he'd make the right decision.

Skylar watched all this intently from under wooden steps that lead up to the wheel.

The two pirates bickered back and forth playfully.

"Oh, I have faith in you. Want to know why?" Elizabeth said smirking.

Skylar was smirking too, thinking of someone else. The shadow of the staircase hid her well as they talked on.

"Land, ho!" Gibbs called out over the ship.

The crew along with Skylar took a long boat to shore. On the way Pintel and Ragetti argued about the Kraken.

Skylar must have appeared older to everyone because no one questioned her being there. She sat right in between Norrington and Elizabeth. Building up courage Skylar got bold enough to talk to them.

"You are to be married to Will Turner,right?" She began cautious, then added. "I was there when it all got --- interrupted."

"Yes, I'm on my way to save him just now." Elizabeth replied softly, as if saddened by the thought.

"I'm doing the same thing, for someone else I mean." Skylar consoled her as she thought silently to herself  "at least I think."

They reached shore and Jack hoisted out a shovel. "Guard the boat. Mind the tide. Don't touch my jar of dirt."

Pintel and Ragetti stayed behind while the others, with Skylar at Elizabeth's side, walked to the location of the chest.

Jack ordered Norrington to start digging. He finally hits something and they pull out a chest. Braking the lock open, they dig through love letters to find the chest that holds the heart.

Skylar and Elizabeth along with Jack and Norrington huddle around with their ears to the chest. Each one of them jumps as they hear a beat.

"It's real." Elizabeth gasps.

"You actually were telling the truth." Norrington mutters.

"I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised." Jack said, slightly offended.

"With good reason!" Will said from behind them and Andrew was behind him.

"Will! You're all right! Thank God! I came to find you!" Elizabeth yelled running towards him.

Skylar does the same towards Andrew and they hug, but pull away immediately just to catch a glimpse of Will and Elizabeth 'embracing' each other.

Andrew clears his throat and Skylar does the same, taking a step back.

"How did you get here?" Jack asked Will.

"Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them, strapped to my feet." Will responded with Elizabeth still having her arms wrapped around him.

"Not so easy is it?" Sparrow quipped nervously.

"But I do owe you thanks, Jack."

"You do?"

"After you tricked me onto that ship to square your debt with Jones--"

What?" Elizabeth exclaimed.

"What?" Jack echoed, imitating her.

"-- I was reunited with my father." Will finishes.

"Oh well... you're welcome, then." Jack tried to play off.

"Everything you said to me, every word was a lie!" Elizabeth yelled, coming at him.

"Pretty much." He felt not the least bit guilty. "Time and tide, love."

Will began to open the chest.

"Oi! What are you doing?" Jack questioned.

"I'm going to kill Jones."

Jack pulls out his sword. "Can't let you do that, William. Cause if Jones is dead, who's to call his terrible beasty of the hunt, eh?"

Will stood back up, slowly.

"Now if you please. The key." Jack held the sword at him.

Will pulled out a sword quickly. "I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father. I hope you're here to see it."

" I can't let you do that either. So sorry." Norrington pulled out a sword as well. "Lord Beckett desires the content of that chest. I deliver it, I get my life back."

They talk calmly for the moment. Then they start sword fighting all of a sudden. Andrew frantically searches in the bag for a sword and when it provides him with one, he suddenly decides to jump in to the fight as well.

"What are you doing!?" Skylar yelled at him as he intercepts Norrington's swing at Will.

"Stop it!" Elizabeth calls frantically.

All four of them run further while still battling each other, not even thinking twice about who Andrew was.

"You're going to get yourself killed!" Skylar yelled out trying to get anyone's attention.

Jack grabbed the key, while Norrington kicks Andrew forcefully and kicks sand in the eyes of Will.

"Will! Andrew!"

Both Will and Andrew are down as Norrington chases after Jack. The girls rush over , but both recover quickly.

"Guard the chest!" Will orders.

"Yeah." Andrew coincides and they both get up off the floor.

"No!" Both girls replied sharply in unison but they are already off chasing Jack and Norrington again.

"This! Is! Barbaric!" Elizabeth screamed at the top of her lungs. "This is no way for grown men to--!"

"This is not the time to be a show off! You don't know what you're doing!" Skylar screamed, her voice getting hoarse. "This isn't going to prove anything!"

They continue on as if deaf, and all trying to kill each other.

"Oh, fine! Let's just haul out our swords and start banging away at each other. That will solve everything! I've had it! I've had it with wobbly-legged, rum-soaked pirates!" Elizabeth screamed as a last resort.

"Stop it!" Skylar yelled once more.

Andrew struggled to par every swing and Will came at Jack with fury. Norrington attacked Andrew but then turned to fight Jack as well. Skylar and Elizabeth tried everything to stop them but it's no use; they were all very into what they  were doing.

In the back ground Pintel and Ragetti explained the craziness.

"How'd this go all screwy?" Pintel asked.

"Well, Jack, Norrington and Will each wants the chest for hisself. Mr. Norrington, I think is trying to regain a bit of honor, old Jack's looking to trade it, save his own skin and Turner there, I think he trying to settle some unresolved business 'twixt him and his twice-cursed pirate father. That fourth person, I'm not quite sure, but by the looks of it he's trying to impress 'er." Ragetti clarified simply.

"Sad." Pintel remarked.

"This is madness!" Elizabeth hollered at them.

Ragetti and Pintel talk on and decide to remove the 'temptation' of the chest from all of them. They go to grab the chest, laughing quietly as they go.

"Hey!" Skylar exclaimed, seeing Pintel and Ragetti make off with the chest.

The girls reluctantly left the boys to their 'swords' and ran after the two with the chest.

The boys meanwhile make their way to a bell tower and keep on fighting as they go. Andrew does this mainly to impress but is too caught up in everything to notice that Skylar is no where around. He isn't too good of a swords man either so as he struggles things become more dangerous.

Davy Jones' hench men arrive on the island as well and discover that they have taken the chest. They begin to make their way towards Jack, Will, Norrington and Andrew rather quickly.

The boys fought on top of the bell tower now, balancing on the roof with difficulty. Jack jumps to the ground while Andrew falls there, lucky he's not too badly injured. Jack runs off with the key but as he falls in a hole, Andrew takes it from him.

The fight, already crazy enough, ends up on an old mills wheel as Will and Norrington fight on top of the rolling thing, Jack stuck  in the middle, and Andrew running in the wheel continue their fiasco.

Andrew gets knocked out as he runs into a metal pole, causing him to fall out and Jack makes the same stupid mistake a few minutes later.

Going back to the girls, Skylar and Elizabeth catch up  with Ragetti and Pintel that are running with the chest. The presence of the two girls stopped the pirates in their tracks.

The wheel rolls by with Will and Norrington on top and Jack and Andrew running after it. All four stare at them for a second, then the two pirates advance on the girls ready to attack them.

An ax pierces a tree near Skylar's head as Davy Jones' crew comes running towards them ready to kill. All four make a split second alliance and they run with chest.

"Come on, run!" Pintel yells.

Elizabeth screamed as they come right behind  her all the while they are running. The two pirates drop the chest and they try to go back for it, facing the monsters.

Skylar drew out her spikes and started slashing at the attackers. Pintel, Ragetti and Elizabeth share two swords trying to fend for themselves.
They run swiftly and retrieve the chest, little do they know (although Skylar does) that Jack already had the heart because he got it from the chest moments ago.

Jack had left Will, Norrington and Andrew (when he caught up) to roll in the wheel down a hill to who knows where.

Everyone meets up at the shore again. Skylar, Elizabeth, Pintel and Ragetti getting chased there. Jack running there and Will , Norrington and Andrew rolling there. Although with the  crew attacking them the whole time of course.

"Boys!" Skylar and Elizabeth said in disgust and rolled their eyes as they see their two 'men' walking around as if drunk because they were shaken up so much by the 'ride'.

The crew closes in on everyone.

"We'll never get out of this!" Elizabeth commented hopelessly.

"Not with the chest." Norrington said grabbing it.

"You're mad!"

"Don't wait for me." Norrington told them and ran off with the chest, having the crew chase after him.

Skylar picked Andrew off the floor and rolled her eyes. "I think it's time to go."

The scene began to melt and wash away. Everything was a blur to them and neither remember boarding the train but that's where they now found themselves.

"Andrew?"

He hummed in response, still in a daze.

"Are you pirate?"

"What?" He asked, still half asleep.

"Or a swordsman?" She continued.

"No..." He said, not knowing what she meant.

"Then why were you trying to get yourself killed by fighting 3 people!" She suddenly rose her voice to yelling.

"Sorry, I was just..."

"I know."

"Do you now?"

"I think... " Skylar paused for a minute and there was silence. "---but we've got bigger problems. Stars Wars Land remember?" She said suddenly recalling why they were here.

Andrew sat up straight. "What about it?"

"It's taking over the island, the Indians and most of TommorowLand!" She expressed her concern.

"There's not much, we can do about that. Disneyland is not going to stop building at this point." He tried to stay relaxed, thinking about how Skylar had changed the subject so quickly.

"Not much we can do? We are here for that purpose only!" She said with frustration.

"Not much we can do from here anyways." Andrew responded, but his mind was somewhere else.

"Well, we're on our way out, I think. All we have to do is get through this."

"I thought you said you wanted to have fun." Andrew called her out on her previous statement.

"I did say that didn't I?" Skylar fought back a smile.

"Indeed you did but now I ask you, where are we headed?" Andrew said in a funny voice.

"Where do want to go?" She replied.

"Not quite sure, dearie. What is the thing you want most?" He quotes the pirate off hand.

She laughed softly. "I think you already know what. And if you won't decide then we're going to Adventure Land! "

There I am finally done with Tom Sawyers island! Did you like it?!!? Make sure to tell me!

Btw guys the part about Star Wars Land is indeed true! To make Star Wars Land they are cutting out a lot of the old stuff Walt built himself. I'm very upset about it but hopefully this book will spread the word!

All the Disneyland history in this book is real!

I loved writing these chapters/ the 3 parts of the chapter , they totaled to about 6,000 words! I will not be updating on Wednesday, considering I updated 3 times in the past few days.

One more thing : I love all you who read this book!!! You are awesome!!!! :D

P. S. Do you guys want a Christmas special?!?! Comment and tell me!
