Pirates of the Caribbean: Sailing On Strange Tides

It's Not Me, It's You...

Now Maggie Sparrow never thought of herself as one to hold a grudge. But in Maggie's opinion when a boy traps you and your father on a ship run by his hateful -And now deseased- Grandfather and then proceeds in toying with you and trying to seduce you into leading him to the Fountain of Youth, all for his own personal gain? It was a huge no-no in the romance department!

But as much as Maggie hated Diego Teach she still gave him the water, because she knew overall Blackbeard deserved to die rather than his Grandchild. When making the decision at the Fountain, Maggie thought back to that night on the docks of White Cap Bay. How Diego quoted and stood up for his Grandfather, Maggie figured that the only male role Diego could look up to was Blackbeard. He didn't know what he was saying, he was just remembering what his Grandad told him. Maggie figured if Diego lived, he'd have the chance to learn better than that dumb advice Blackbeard gave him. And Blackbeard on the other hand was older and a lost cause all together, the fact that he downed the chalice he thought had the tear in it just proved Maggie's theory. Blackbeard was willing to sacrifice his only grandchild's life in order to double cross fate!

Now Maggie stared at Diego from across the rowboat. As her father rowed them towards an island. Maggie and Captain Jack weren't proud of having to maroon Angelica and Diego, but they also didn't trust them to not kill them in order to avenge Blackbeard. Clearly, the father-daughter duo had no choice but to maroon the mother-son duo!

"I hate you!" Diego sneered.

"Even after I saved your life?" Maggie asked, rolling her eyes.

"What's the point if I can't even enjoy it now!" Diego exclaimed. "The years I possessed were taken from my own grandfather!"

"Blackbeard should've been willing to give you those years, regardless of Maggie's help" Captain Jack told the boy.

"It was Diego's choice to sacrifice himself!" Angelica snapped. "Your little siren shouldn't have interfered!"

"I'm a siren?" Maggie scoffed "You're one to talk, Mummy dearest!"

Angelica growled "You're both cruel and ignorant!"

"And ugly!" Diego added.

"Again, you're one to talk!" Maggie told him. "Besides at least what were doing is fair... even if fair isn't always favorable."

As soon as they made it to the island, Jack and Maggie shoved them both down onto the sandy beach.

"Two pistols with one shots in each!" Jack said, throwing both of their pistols beside them.

"To kill ourselves before we starve?!" Angelica shouted.

"There's no trusting you, Luv" Captain Jack told her. "Beside this is a well-traveled trade route, you can signal a passing ship! ...Or you can just bite the perverbile bullet as it were."

"Or sing and lure some sailor to his doom!" Maggie quipped as she followed her Father back to the boat.

"And how do you expect us to get free of these bonds?" Diego asked.

"You both broke free of your bonds half an hour ago, waiting for the presise moment to pounce!" Jack explained, not missing a beat.

Maggie and Jack whirl around before Angelica could knock them out with a peice of driftwood. Jack snatched the wood from her and threw it away.

"Maggie, just put your pride aside for a moment and admit that you do have feelings for me?" Diego gave her a charming smile. "That somewhere deep down inside, you truly love me?"

Maggie stared at him "If you had a brother and a toad, I'd risk getting warts!"

"Wait, th-there's a ship!" Diego spat out more lies. "I know where it is! You and I can go to it and we'll sail the seven sea's together and live happily ever after!"
