(I'm sorry if I don't post for a while, but now that school's started, my schedule is absolute hell, so forgive me if they become shorter and less often)
Will, now calmed down, started again, "I can't bring the souls to the afterworld, so I asked Barbossa for the reason why..." he said, being cautious not to rally Jack up again. "...and he told me that I need the keys. They keys being those two lockets that Tia Dalma and Davey Jones always carried on their persons at all times." Will cleared his throat, then looked at the ceiling. "And you all know where they ended up..."
The pirates nodded and eagerly looked at Will for more.
"That's why I needed you, Jack" he said, adressing the dashing pirate captain. "You have that compass. If we can use it to locate the isle de murta again, we can temporarily use the curse to out advanyage by then using the compass to locate and dive to the ocean's depths to find the lockets..." Will cocked his head at Jack. "...savvy?"
Jack rolled his eyes at Will. "Ah... no no no, mate. You're sayin' it all wrong. You gotta add that charming irrisitible grin at the end like this..."
As Jack demonstrated the "correct" way to deliver the "savvy" line, Ash, breifly intterupted them, her paitence worn thin and unable to hold her questions any longer.
"William! Is Bootstrap still alive? Is he with you?" she burst out, eager to know.
Will looked at her, somewhat startled at the sudden jolt of her question. "Of course, Ash. He's fine." He smiled. "in fact he's out on the flying dutchman out in the bay wating for us right now."
Ash looked like she was going to faint, her overjoyed expression told the story.
"So what do you say?" Will asked, obvioulsy eager to get this show on the road. "Will you help me?"

(Oh, and somehow, I think at somepoint soon, Jack should deliver the famous, "Well, I see no profit in it for me" line. It would fit in pretty well, I rekon. Obvioulsy the others are itching to go, and they all will eventually, but Jack might need a bit more coaxing.)

Lucky jumped up, then immediately slipped on a wet patch on the floor when she had spilled some wine not long before Will turned up.
she grunted as she fell and cursed. "i meant ter say i'm wi' yer," she complained, "bu' now mi ass 'urts!"
"that means she is with you," translated Ash, "she's just a clutz."
"thanks babe," Lucky rolled her eyes, exasperatedly, "needed tha'."
while Ash just beamed at Lucky, the descovery of Bootstrap still being alive seemed to make her feel invincable, Lucky turned her attention to her best friend's son. "coarse' i'm wi' yer," she smiled gently, "i ain' passin up this!"
"i aint," snarled Jack.
every single pair of eyes landed on him, they were either confused or incredibly angry. unusually jack didn't even quiver. he stared back angrily.
"am serious," he retorted, "i don' see no profi' inni' fer me!"
"yer'll keep yer man'ood," muttered Lucky, sounding mutinous, "and maybe i won' bea' yer within an inch of yer life… if yer really lucky…"
he just cocked an eyebrow at her. "now, lady," he cooed at her, "a sweetling such as yerself wouldn' even think of such a thing!"
"wanna be'?!" she snapped, "jack, don' be a coward. it'll b the gang of uz back tergetha again. maybe even barbossa too. and this time 'e can' mutina'e agains' yer! it's will's ship and the duchman on'y obey's it's captain." she watched jack's reaction. she could tell his will had weakened slightly. not by much, by it was there. "jack look… me and ash… we bin lukin fer you and the ovvas. this is tha chance we bin wai'in fer. yer can' destroy i'! and Will's Bootstrap's son! bootsrap bill… one of yer bes' friends fer god only nos 'ow long. yer can' abdon 'im."
she watched and waited for a reaction. for as long as she could remember, she was one of the only people who could stop Jack Sparrow from being too pig headed. Ash often teased her because of it, but Lucky never understood why. and doubted she ever would.

(sorry its taken so long. I felt so uncreative last week, and now I have school and band practice that goes for about an hour after that which was told to us.)
Ash let Lucky talk, then it was her turn, "With us yet, mate?"
"Well, I still don' see anythin' innit for me..." he replied, trying to sound confident in it.
Ash was on her feet and had grabbed the front of Jacks shirt tightly, so it was almost suffocating him, and he was lifted halfway out of his seat. She stared into his eyes, their faces millimeters apart. Suddenly, she let him go, smiling.
"Jack, you know how Lucky and I are." she said, looking out the window rather than at anybody, "You know how Bootstrap and Barbossa are. You know how we used to be, what a team we were. We were feared on the seas. We had our treasure, we had our ship, we had each other. Life was perfect. Then we were torn apart. Now, we have a chance to get at least most of us together again. Do you want it all back, or do you want to be like you are now, a hopeless drunk who says he's a captain but never has a crew?" Ash turned back to him, "You with us?"
Jack blinked, "You had me at treasure, mate."

Emily smiled, and after everyone had assured Will that they were ready to accept, Will told them, "The ship is on the harbor. If we wish to arrive at the Isle De Murta before I turn into a monsterous Squid-man, we must leave before nightfall." Lucky stiffiened up. "Ah Bugger..." she whispered. "I'd forgotten about that." She turned to Will. "'ow much time do we have, mate?"
Will rubbed his neck uneasily. "I'm not sure. What I do know is that as soon as we can get our hands on the Aztec gold, I'll have bought us some time. Apparently, you can't be twice cursed."
The group of them left the brewery, and Emily closed the door behind them. Before she ran down the hill to the harbor, she took one last look at the brewery that had been her home for so long. She sighed, then ran to join her friends.
"Hoist the mainsails! Bring her abou, lads... erm.. and lasses! We have a cursed treasure to find!" Shouted Will. The Flying Dutchman spun around and sailed off for the horizon.
Emily gazed at the shrinking island that had been her home since the beginning of her life. Things were going to change drasticly. She smiled and hoped that they would for the better.

(that kinda really jumped into things. How about we backtrack to them having to sneak through the forest and just arriving at the ship? And can Bill be un-barnicled now that he's no longer "under" Davy Jones?)

(oh yeah, the whole ship was, wasn;t it? Okay, everythings un-barnicled. ) Ash was exilerated. She had a huge smile planted on her face, this was a first time in a long time that she was running for her life, knowing her destination, and having just about her whole crew around her. Of course, she and Lucky were in the lead, they were always the fastest runners. She could imagne how Jack was running, his 'manly swagger', and one hand on his hat to keep it from blowing away or being caught on a branch. It was always so funny to watch Jack run, but after awhile you got used to it. Ash only hoped that Will was accustomed to it as Luck and herself were, and that Emily was in front of Jack so she wouldn;t pay any attention to him. They burst out of the forest, and it was a flat dead run toward the docks, where the ship was anchored. Something out of the corner of Ash's eye caught her attention, and she saw guards heading toward the ship, armed guards. Will must have seen it too, cause a shrill sound came from right behind her, right where Will was last she knew. It sounded similar to a birds call, and thats prolly why he was using it for a signal; for thats exactly what it was. The anchor began to go up, but it was on the opposite side of the ship, where the guards couldn;t see, but the group could. For awhile at least. They were moving so quickly that the opposite side of the ship soon went out of view. Sadly the guards were closer. "Will, Emily, Jack! You get on board, you're the ones needed! Lucky and I can handle the guards!" Ash quickly shouted back over her shoulder, as they grew close enough for the guards to hear them.

Lucky grinned to herself. "o yes," she practically snarled, "this is gonna be fun…" She glanced at the others to see them nod. of coarse jack was going to protest, insisting that he was captain jack sparrow! he could handle anything! but evidently Will was used to his flamboyant proud ways (even if it was only even wen it was infront of females). the other three legged it aboard, while Lucky and Ash faced the on coming guards. "ready babe?" smirked Lucky, as the guard came to meet them, she never did catch the reply. (im pathetic at battle scenes )

(okay, so am I, but I'll give it a try)
Ash didn't need to reply, her shout as she used her momentum from the running to jump and fling both of her feet foreward, hitting one of the guards in the chest and sending him down, keeping her feet pressed to his chest as they fell so she would land upright. Lucky did the same, it was a move Bill had come up with one time when they were fighting on the Pearl against another pirate crew. It was raining, and Bill had used a rope hanging from one of their loosened sails to do it with, but it was basically the same thing. Just minus the rope to help them stay up. But it was a move they had done countless times after that.
Those two guards would have multiple broken ribs if they were lucky, and two punctured lungs if they wern't. Either or, they were both down and out of the fight. So it didn;t really matter which they recieved. With two down, it left two each for Lucky and Ash. It was the perfect ratio for the girls, fighting two always made things interesting.
Ash's sword and dagger were out as she landed, feeling the sickening crunch beneith her feet. It no longer fazed her, she was a pirate, she had killed multiple times before this. In fact, she got a bloodthirstyness that she never focused on later, it always made her sick when she wasn;t fighting. Each of her swords parried off of one of the guards swords, and quickly, suprisingly quickly, she thrust her dagger into one of the guards chests. The last guard in front of her blinked, but recovered quickly. His sword against her two, it was fun for Ash. The sound of metal clanking against metal, the death cries of the two first fallen. One of Luckys men fell, but Ash paid it no attention. Her only focus was the man in front of her. She cornered him, he was geting desperate. His sword flung out over her head, an extreamly stupid and desperate attack. Ash ducked, the sword soaring millimeters above her head. Taking her very pbvious opening, she thrust her sword up under the mans ribs, killing him instantly. Luckys second man fell soon after.
Shouts came from the ship, and the two turned to face it. The anchor had been pulled up, and it was floating away. Taking two seconds to wipe their swords and daggers on the grass before sheating them. They ran for the ship, and dove into the water, together, almost perfectly. But thats what you get for being partners for most of your life. They surfaced and began swimming toward the ship, it turned slowly, and the anchor was down to water level, giving them a way up.
They swam to it, and each stood on one of the dips. The second they were on it, it began rising. The girls exchanged high fives, it was another perfect day. But this time, it was of their lives coming back together again.
The anchor drew nearer and nearer toward the top of the ship, and Ash felt anticipation and worry rise inside of her. Did Bill still love her? Or did he not anymore? Was he turned into an ocean-creature like Jack said he was? How did he act nowm was he different? So many questions buzzed inside of her, so loud, she could ahrdly shut them out. The anchor reached the top, or as far up as it would go. Ash gave Lucky a boost, the former girl being the taller of the two. She climbed up onto the deck and reached down to grab Ash's arms and help pull the girl up. She was pulled halfway up and over, and climbed the rest of the way over herself. her feet hit the deck. Lucky's eyes were shining more than what they were after the fight, and they were looking behind Ash. Ash turned, and barely saw Bill before she was engulfed into his arms.
"My, God! Ash! It's been too long, much too long! Good Lord, girl. I've missed you! You too Lucky, don't you worry 'bout that. Its just... Ash..." Bill said, squeezing Ash so hard she couldn;t breathe, or move.
Her amrs were pinned to her sides, but she managed to get them free. How was completely a mystery to everybody. She squeezed Bill back, just as tightly. Her heart felt like it was going to explode, this was better than she had ever imagned.
