Alexandra stood beside Elizabeth. "How do you think your dress'll look?" She asked. Elizabeth looked at her. "I just want to know. I mean..." She trailed as she saw men sailing back to the Dauntless

Elizabeth and Alexandra were ushered into an office. "Sorry, but it's for your own safety." Gillette said. "I don't care what the Commodore ordered! I have to tell him!" Elizabeth shouted. "The pirates, they're cursed! They can't be killed!" She and Alexandra yelled as they were pushed into the office. "Don't worry, Misses. He's already informed of that. A little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story." Gillette laughed and shut the doors. "This is Jack Sparrow's doing!" Alexandra yelled. "Stupid idiots! You're getting yourselves bloody killed!" She shouted, banging her fists to the doors. "Idiots!" She screamed. Elizabeth pulled her away from the doors. 

The twins looked around the room. Alexandra laid her hand on Elizabeth's arm as they looked at the sheets on the bed. 


"Elizabeth?" Swann's voice said from outside. He knocked on the door. The twins looked at the door. "I want you to know I- uh, I believe you made a very good decision today. Couldn't be more proud of you. But a good decision, if made for the wrong reasons, can be a wrong decision." Swann said. The twins went back to tying. Tying sheets together to make a sort of rope. 

Alexandra and Elizabeth lowered themselves into a boat. Alexandra stared to row them towards the Pearl

Alexandra and Elizabeth got onto the side of the Pearl. They climbed up to the gun port where they heard voices. 

Two pirates, Grapple and Mallot, sat, a feast set in front of them. Wine, rum, jerky, cakes, apples, biscuits, etc.

"Right.  What would you eat first? We should decide now. Just so we're ready when the time comes." Mallot said. 

The twins continued to climb when they got to the deck. They saw no one and climbed over the gunwale. They tried to sneak down when the skeletal monkey of Barbossa's hung down in front of them, startling them as it screeched. The two went from slight shock to annoyance. 


The twins looked over the gunwale as they heard a splash. The monkey had fallen into the water. The two pirate's head's popped out from the window below. 

They raced down the deck stairs. They hid away as they heard the pirates. The pirates raced up the stairs. 

The twins ran down to the Hold. "Miss Alexandra! Miss Elizabeth!" Gibbs called. 

The twins and the crew watched as Mallot and Grapple walked along, wary. They all pushed a boat. It swung and hit the pirates, pushing them overboard. They cheered. The Pearl was theirs. Elizabeth and Alexandra walked to the boat and grabbed it by the gunwale. "All of you with us." Alexandra said. "Will is in that cave and we must save him. Ready, and... heave!" The twins pulled the boat. It wouldn't budge. They looked at each other then turned to the crew who was unmoving. "Please, we need your help. Come on!" Elizabeth said. 

"Any port in a storm." Cotton's parrot said. "Cotton's right. We've got the Pearl." Gibbs said. "What about Jack? Are you just going to leave him?" Alexandra asked. "Jack owes us a ship." A pirate said. "And there's the Code to consider." Gibbs said. "The Code?" Alexandra scoffed. "You're pirates! For God's sake! Hang the Code and hang the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyway!" She said. Gibbs looked away. The twins looked at each other, scowling. 

They sat in a long boat, Elizabeth rowing hard for the island. "Bloody pirates!" They sneered. 


"I'll teach you the meaning of pain." A pirate said. "You like pain?" Elizabeth asked. Alexandra swung a gaffe at the pirate, knocking it down. "Try wearing a corset." Elizabeth said. Alexandra smiled and held a hand out for Will. He took it, grinning, and she pulled him up. The two smiled at each other. Elizabeth walked to Alexandra's other side. The three looked at Jack to see him in a skeletal form. "Whose side is Jack on?" Alexandra asked. "At the moment?" Will asked. Alexandra nodded. The three darted away as the two pirates continued to attack. 

Alexandra hit a pirate with the gaffe. She blocked two pirate's swords. She hit them back and threw the gaffe to Elizabeth, who smacked a pirate. Elizabeth threw the gaffe to Will. He hit a pirate. Alexandra kicked a pirate back before Will hit him with the gaffe. They both grabbed it and ran it through the three pirates. The pirates yelled. 

Elizabeth lit a bomb and handed it to Will. He looked at the middle pirate and stuck it in his stomach. The three pushed the pirates out of the moonlight, turning them human again. "No fair!" The middle pirate said. 

The three ran away from them. The bomb exploded sending pieces of dead people everywhere. 

Alexandra, Will and Elizabeth ran to the chest. The two latter made it to the chest. Jack slit his palm that had a medallion in it. He threw it to Will, who caught it. Alexandra fell behind only to have Barbossa aim a gun at her. She stopped and held her hands up. 

A shot fired. Alexandra furrowed her brows. Barbossa looked at Jack to see his pistol smoking. "Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot." Barbossa said. "He didn't waste it." Will said. The three looked at him. He opened his fist and dropped two bloody medallions into the chest. Alexandra chuckled. 

Barbossa looked down at his chest. He pulled his jacket open and saw blood blossom on his shirt. Jack lowered his pistol. 

"I feel... cold." Barbossa said. He collapsed to the floor. He lost the grip on the apple in his hand. He's dead. 

Alexandra smiled and looked at Jack. He smiled back. 

Elizabeth ran to her sister and pulled her into a hug. Alexandra laid her head on Elizabeth's shoulder. They chuckled as they pulled away. Alexandra laid her hands on Elizabeth's cheeks. They smiled at each other. "We won." They said softly. They chuckled and hugged again. 


Alexandra stood in the cavern, staring at the treasure. Elizabeth said she would be back in a second. 

Will walked over to her. Alexandra turned to look at him. Their eyes met. They smiled at each other. "I'm sorry I've been a little upset lately." Alexandra said. Will shook his head. "More than a little." He said. They chuckled. Will moved in closer, laying a hand on her cheek. Alexandra jumped as she heard a clatter. She saw Jack throwing the treasure behind him, arranging and gathering them. 

Elizabeth walked over to the two. She saw Will's hand on Alexandra's cheek and furrowed her brows. Alexandra looked at her and moved Will's hand from her face. "We should return to the Dauntless." Elizabeth said. Alexandra nodded and walked to her side. Will understood and nodded sadly. "Your fiancé will be wanting to know you're safe." He said. 

Alexandra gasped and turned to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, let me marry Norrington." She said. "Excuse me?" Elizabeth asked. "Let me marry him. I can pretend I'm you. You can be me. We've done it before." Alexandra said. Elizabeth shook her head. "Please, let me do this. I've been the worst sister to you our entire lives. Let me make it up to you, please." Alexandra said. Elizabeth sighed and shook her head. "We can talk later. Once you've got your brain in the right place." She said. Alexandra groaned and followed her out of the cave. 

Will watched the twin walk out, watching Elizabeth slowly give in to Alexandra's pleads. Jack strolled up to him, holding and wearing a bunch of the treasure. "If you were waiting for the opportune moment... that was it." He said. "Now, if you'd be so kind. I'd be much obliged if you'd drop me off at my ship." He said and walked out the cave. 


Alexandra rowed back to the Dauntless. It seemed the crew was serious about leaving Jack behind. "I'm sorry, Jack." Elizabeth said. "They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that." Jack said. Alexandra and Will looked at him. Alexandra sighed.
