Description: Our crazy fangirls find themselves suddenly thrust into the first Pirates of the Caribbean! Gasp! What will they do when they encounter a dear Captain, a bratty blacksmith, and the undead? Why sing theme music of course! These Pirates obsessed best friends get their dream come true, but is the Caribbean prepared for them? Read on, dear readers, and you will see!

A/N: Ok so I have been working on this for a long time, but I finally got the guts to post it. This is just my lame attempt at humor and what would happen if my best friend and I got sucked into our favorite movie ever! I personally love reading self-inserts, and wrote this mostly for my own enjoyment. I also tried to keep this as creative and different from most fanfictions as possible. I also love these movies so dearly, so my OC's are there mostly just to enhance the story and comment on the events happening around them. They are not there to completely change up everything and send everyone into insanity, just as a little note :) BTW, as an avid movie-goer, I believe that deleted scenes are still part of the movie just like everything else, especially the Pirates ones! So yes, I have included the deleted scenes into the story as well :)

Feel free to let me know what you think! But please don't hurt me; this is my first Pirates fic. ENJOY! I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean blah blah blah, other than the mini Jack that I keep well fed in my pocket.

I was hopelessly, desperately, and madly in love.

You may ask who the man was who was so blessed to receive my undying devotion. It could have easily been Chase Morgan, the school jock, who was more beautiful than then sun and more charming than a snake. Of course, every girl in the school was after him, and he knew it. Many women claimed to have been sucked into an eternal pool of peace and bliss just by looking into his eyes. The school's poster child, Chase was never short someone to talk to, or a girl to ask out. He was the one person everyone wanted to be and admire. Sure he was gorgeous and amazing…

But, it was not him.

No, I was not in love with Chase, Zac Efron, Justin Bieber, sparkly vampires, or even the class nerd.

I was in love with a pirate.

Yes, a pirate. Extremely good-looking, fierce, witty, and dangerous. But not just any pirate mind you… but here I am getting ahead of myself. I need to start from the beginning…


"Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by."

At this moment, by best friend, Gabrielle also known as Gabs, and I were about 5 ½ hours into our Pirates of the Caribbean movie marathon. Yes, some would call us crazy, others would call us brilliant, but we called ourselves completely tired. It was a great idea at first that was created from the effects of too much sugar and a crazy pirates obsession. Watching all of the Pirates movies back to back was a life goal of ours, and even though we started at 10 and it was almost 4 in the morning, we would persevere. We were determined to laugh at every joke, enjoy every swashbuckling moment, and swoon over Jack Sparrow for seven straight hours.

So as you can see, we were finally to At World's End where Jack makes his deal with Beckett.

Everything was going great, other than the fact that we were completely slaphappy. Then, I noticed something strange…

"Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, fuzzy wuzzy had no hair…"

"I'm trying to work." Cue Beckett and Jack going into a fit of giggles.

I stared at the TV for a few seconds in disbelief, like it had just grown two heads or something.

"Uh Gabs, doesn't Jack say that in the bloopers?"

"Yeah….wait were watching the movie right?"

"Positive."

We were even more confused when Jack went on to say:

"Regarding the Brethren Court, no doubt? In exchange for fair compensation, square my debt with Jones, guarantee my freedom"

The last few words of the sentence came out as a squeak and Jack began coughing…"What's in there?"

"What the crap! Ok Lys your TV must have switched it to the bloopers or something on accident."

"Yeah I think your right."

And as I was about to go get up and check the DVD player, we heard a voice that definitely did not come out of the movie. It was behind us. And it was really creepy.

"You 'ave a touch of destinee about youuu…"

Then everything went black.


I suddenly found myself in a dream. After watching Inception, I was convinced everything was a dream. Well, at least I thought it was a dream, until I felt the itchy fabric of a dress against my skin and the soft Caribbean breeze across my cheek.

Wait a sec…

I was still convinced that it was a dream. But, there was one big problem. Usually my dreams have lots of dramatic action and, well, randomness. The fact that I just magically appeared here, with no big bang or fireworks discomforted me a little, as strange as that sounds.

Looking around at my surroundings, I saw that I was surrounded by stone walls. There were many people mingling and dressed in fancy brocaded coats and extravagant dresses, similar to my own. The women were fanning themselves in the intense heat and I noticed one woman who seemed quite uncomfortable in particular. She looked very familiar…but I was too far away to see her face. It appeared as though a very formal event had just finished, because many rows of military men were leaving the fort. Maybe my short travel had placed me in a daze, because it should have been obvious to where I was. Being the crazy obsessed fangirl that I am, I had seen this place hundreds of times. But actually being there was so…different. Port Royal, in real life, was actually more beautiful than I had ever imagined. After realizing that I had been holding my breath I exhaled slowly…and then I had no clue what to do next. Here I was, with the entire Pirates of the Caribbean universe at my disposal. There was so much to do and see! My life dream was coming true!

It hit me.

Inside my head I was screaming, "OMG I'M INSIDE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN OMG OMG JACK OMG JACK JACK JACK!", but somehow I managed to look perfectly calm on the outside. Wow. Anyway, I decided that my first order of business was to find said future hubby and say hello. Or hug him, whatever suited me at the moment. Then, I had a sudden idea. If it was still the beginning of the movie…

I looked over and saw no hustle and bustle, or a crowd of screaming people. No the attempted hanging had not happened yet. So I was clear. But wait where was my crazy partner in crime? I couldn't find Gabs anywhere. I began to panic for a moment before I realized that she knew the movie as well as I did, and she would be perfectly fine wherever she was. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Elizabeth standing around awkwardly, gasping for air. Wow, if I noticed her predicament way over here, maybe Norrington really was clueless. That aside, I decided to make my move before a certain distressing damsel took it from me.

Yes, I was going to fall off the wall, into the cold ocean below.

And, if everything went according to plan, Jack would save me.

All of my thoughts were in order, and I carefully ascended the stone steps. Should I jump? Or faint? But before I had time to decide my descent, I was hit on the back of the head

And everything went black. Again.

Now, considering that I was unconscious during this entire momentous event in my life, I now rely on Jack to fill in the blanks for me. Whenever he tells the story, he claims it went something like this:

Sitting in a ship, not too far away, Jack was retelling one of his infamous stories to Murtog and Mullroy. Knowing him, he probably elaborated on an already crazy tale, increasing his reputation. The soldiers had been quite engrossed in the story when *splash*, my body fell into the crystal blue Caribbean waters. Jack whipped his head around just in time to see. He scrunched up his nose slightly and furrowed his brows. It would have been a cute look actually if I was watching it instead of drowning.

"Will you be saving her then?" Jack inquired of the two men.

"I can't swim." After looking at the other man disdainfully and receiving a shaking of the head as a reply, Jack shed his hat, coat, and effects, and did a perfect swan dive into the water. Yes.

He gracefully swam to my unconscious body and pulled me up effortlessly. However, there was no need to remove my dress because, unlike Elizabeth's, it wasn't very heavy or fancy.

Just as Jack pulled me onto the dock, Murtog, Mullroy, and the other soldiers ran to meet him. I lay there, soaking wet, unknowing that Jack was mere inches from my face, his chocolate brown eyes filled with worry. Then again, if I had been conscious, I probably would have screamed, and then fainted, so it was probably for the better. After removing my corset, to no avail (I was knocked out, not suffocated, remember), I secretly think Jack was beginning to panic. However, I slowly regained consciousness and gazed up at him.

Captain Jack Sparrow, in the flesh. Holy fricken crap.

"Are ye alright, luv?"

Get some Elizabeth.

Whether it was from the massive amounts of water that I had ingested, or from shock that my hero was gazing back at me, the only thing I could do was smile and nod like an idiot. I think it was the latter. All my years of planning the perfect introduction reaction? Fail. Oh well. I did manage to smile and reply,

"Well sir, (I wasn't going to be the one to blow his cover) when it is nearly one hundred degrees and I'm stuck wearing this extremely uncomfortable dress at a boring party, I thought the only thing better to do was throw myself off a cliff to go for a nice deadly swim."

Jack's face instantly lit up with his trademark grin, but then it slowly faded as his eyes and hand drifted to something around my neck. It was a gold medallion that shimmered in the sun.

"Where did you get that?" he asked in a whisper.

Ok now I was confused. How did I end up with the medallion? I couldn't think long about it because dear (and I mean this in the most sarcastic way) Norrington held his sword to Jack's throat.

"On your feet."

Jack cautiously stood helping me up as well (Alyssa:2, Elizabeth 0). Suddenly, a tall brunette ran into the crowd.

"Omigosh Lys are you okay?" She enveloped me in a big hug.

"Yeah I am did you see?"

"Yeah I did!"

"And he-"

"I know!"

"But how…"

"Well I kinda hit you so you would fall…"

"You did what?"

"Well it worked and your ok soo…." I just beamed at her. She was too amazing and adorable to be mad at.

Then we grabbed each other and gave a quiet squeal jump thing that most fangirls do. It's routine.

We then turned our attention to the Governor who was staring strangely at Murtogg, who was holding my corset and looking extremely guilty. He just pointed at poor Jack.

"Shoot him!" was the Governor's reply.

"Sir, please, do you really intend to kill my best friend's rescuer?"

Gabs was playing the part perfectly. We noticed Lizzy had arrived looking extremely lost and confused. Like she has just seen a space shuttle take off. Oh wait, they haven't been invented yet? Exactly. When she's not the center of attention, she seems to get grumpy. Oh well nothing we can do about it. We were in her world, and we were in control. Mwahahahahahahahaha!

Norrington glanced at Gabi, then to Jack, "I believe thanks are in order." Jack hesitated slightly, and took Norrington's hand. But the sneaky Commodore had a trick up his sleeve, literally. He pushed up Jack's sleeve to reveal the pirate brand.

"Had a brush with the East India Trading company, did we, pirate?"

"Hang him," Governor Swann sang in a really weird voice. I had to control myself from giggling at the absurdity of it.

"Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette, fetch some irons. Well, well Jack Sparrow, isn't it?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir."

"Darn right he is," Gabs whispered to me. I chuckled. We watched silently as Norrington mocked dear Jack's pirateyness (?) and had Gillette put him in chains. Poor 'lil guy. He just looked so sad and cute! Finally, it was Gabi's cue again.

"Commodore, I really must protest."

"Carefully Lieutenant."

"Pirate or not this man saved my friend's life!"

She stomped over and stood in front of Jack in his defense. I knew exactly what she was doing, sly girl. I smiled at her and gave her a discrete thumbs up. I had my moment, and she was going to have hers. Ok hun, this is where all those years of drama class are gonna pay off.

"One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness," Norry argued. Gabs just glared at him. She was playing the part better than Elizabeth. Although a baby could have done that.

"Though it seems enough to condemn him," Jack quipped, giving me a puppy dog look.

"Indeed."

"Finally," Jack breathed, throwing the chains around her neck.

"No!" I screamed, "don't shoot!" Oh wow I was so scared…quaking actually. (Me: Please tell me you heard the sarcasm there) But, I had to give a good show.

"I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat!" he added. "Commodore! Miss…"

"Todd," she replied, taking the name from her favorite singing barber (Gabi: "Who sings about how much he looooveeees the wooorrrlllddd").

"Miss Todd if you'd be so kind. Come, come, dear. We don't have all day. Now if you'd be very kind." She proceeded to strap on the array of accessories (Now selling: Captain Jack Sparrow doll! Cap'n Jack goes to the beach! Comes with over one hundred accessories!). On the outside, she looked like she wanted to strangle him, but because I was her bestie, I could tell that she was enjoying it as much as he probably was.

"Easy on the goods, darling."

"Why you vile, good for nothing-"

"Ah, stick and stones, luv. I saved your friend's life, you save mine, we're square. Gentlemen, m'lady, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!"

And with that, he pushed Gabi into us, and did an impressive maneuver up into the air. With nothing else to do and the Navy shooting all around us, we starting singing the theme music.

"Duhhh dun dun dun, bum bum bummm, laaaa la la la la, la la la!" (Wow that was actually really hard to write!)

"There he goes…" I sighed.

"I no right?" she said dreamily. Homie G Swann came up behind us, interrupting our thoughts.

"My dear ladies, you have both had a very trying day. Would you like to stay at my mansion for the night? We can try and find you proper homes in the morning if you wish."

"But the swordfight…" I whispered to my bestie.

"I know, but Jack will think we're stalking him. Plus I'm exhausted."

"Good point. It must have been sooo hard being threatened by the hottest man ever!" Then I piped up, "Governor Swann, we would love that."


Back at the Governor's mansion, we had been made quite a fuss over. Apparently being saved then threatened by the same pirate was the most exciting news Port Royal had in decades. (Gabs: like ten decades? Me: lol yes exactly). We were given a beautiful room, with a balcony overlooking the sea. We were also given a relaxing bath and beautiful nightclothes to change into. Even Elizabeth was being cordial. It was probably because she wanted to get information about pirates out of us. Of course, none of it was interesting enough for me to record here. After a few hours, it grew dark and we were finally left alone.

As I was changing from my long-sleeved dress into the nightgown, I noticed something strange on my arm that I was positive wasn't there more, hmm… I don't know, like my whole life. It was a big "P": the pirate brand. Gasp! Gabs noticed that I was staring at my arm like it was some sort of rabid animal. Then I laughed.

"Man today's just full of surprises!" I held out my arm for her to see.

"Aw lucky I want one! That's not fair imma pirate too!"

"Haha sorry dear I didn't ask for this, but I'm not complaining either. It looks like you're a pirate anyway, you just didn't get caught, which is much better in my opinion." She looked as me curiously, then to where I was pointing on her arm. Sure enough, she has somehow acquired a bright red tattoo. It had a cool looking emo-ish skull and crossbones, with a crimson ribbon woven throughout. She broke into the biggest smile.

"Yes, Scarlett, my pirate name! Ok I am content now." We high-fived.

Then, I remembered something.

"Hey look at this."

"Oh my gosh no way! How did you get that?" Gabi asked as she fingered the strange markings of the medallion around my neck. There was no doubt about it; this was genuine 100% cursed Aztec gold.

"I have no idea, but the fact that I have it that means Elizabeth doesn't-"

"And the pirates will be coming for you instead of her!"

"Yes that is a problem…"

I thought about my options. Choice #1: I could play the part of the distressing damsel and go aboard the Black Pearl. It wouldn't be that bad especially since I knew what to say and do. However, with Elizabeth being left behind, the plot of the movie could be ruined and left in disaster. This movie was sacred and I was not going to let it get messed up. And I highly doubt Gabs could convince Jack to save me. Plus if I did the math right, being taken aboard the Pearl would mean that I wouldn't see Jack again until the fight between the two ships! The movie was practically done by then and that would just be a waste of the amazing opportunity that we were given. So, option 2 was looking brilliant. The gears in my crazy mind were turning, and they were turning rapidly.

"Ok Gabs, what if I gave said medallion to Lizzie as a "gift"? She would definitely keep it because of her obsession with pirates. The Pearl will still come because it called them when I fell in the water. We just hide around, let Elizabeth get taken, and everything is back to normal!"

"My dear you are brilliant."

"I know, I know."

Silently, we made our way to Elizabeth's room and peeked through the door. She was sitting in her bed, absentmindedly turning a gold necklace in her hands. But it wasn't just any necklace, it was the medallion!

"Ok so now what?" Gabs asked. I was just standing there completely confused. Then it hit me.

"Gabs do you know what this means?"

"Um…"

"This, love, means that there are only 880 coins in that chest! Elizabeth and I have the last two! So, no matter what, the pirates won't be freed of the curse because the coins won't all be returned! I have one that no one knows about!"

"Holy cow…dude was can so use this to our advantage. We can change the course of history!"

That's what I was afraid of.

Meanwhile, we could hear the sounds of cannon fire in the distance. It had begun.
