The Aftermath

Accents and Attacks

Previously:

"Well, those are symptoms of a dragon's pregnancy. But that would mean-." Uma interrupted her and finished her sentence. "She is carrying Ben's baby. That could harm his reputation..." Evie immediately glanced at her with a warning look in her eyes. "You will not harm king Ben, you hear me?" Uma laughed. "Calm down, feisty. I won't. Not yet at least." Uma wiggled her eyebrows. Blue softly whispered. "She's pregnant..."

Today would be the start of their new lives. The knot in Uma's stomach grew bigger with every little tick of Harry's pocket watch. The more minutes that past, the closer the limo would come to them and their newly stolen Black Pearl to pick them up for the first day of school. It was midnight and Uma was laying in her cabin. Harry was asleep right next to her, softly snoring and with his arm around her. The whole ship was quiet, not a whisper to be heard. It seemed like everyone was soundly sleeping except for Uma. She shifted her position, careful not to wake Harry. It didn't matter. He woke up nonetheless. He opened his eyes and gazed at hers. He checked his pocket watch and scanned her face.

"Why are ya still awake?" he asked hoarsely, his voice layered with his accent.

"Yeah," she replied. Harry tightened his grip and pulled her closer.

"Come on," he murmured, lips at her ear, and Uma flushed just a bit. She threw her arm around him and snuggled into his chest.

"Do you remember when we kissed?" Harry raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Like our first kiss," she whispered, removing a strand of hair out of her face. "Not the- not the last one or any random one."

"Course darlin', ya were the prettiest little thing that night." Uma nuzzled into his shoulder. "But ye're always the prettiest little thing. Ya make me happy when skies are grey. Ye're so hot people get burned when they look." He placed a kiss on her forehead and then lifted her chin softly with his fingers until he was looking her in the eyes. "We'll be alright luv, I'm sure. So put yer worries away and sleep." Harry pulled Uma closer and went on to sleep once more. And this time the whole ship was sleeping soundly.

Gil groaned loudly when he heard his stolen alarm go off, a loud pumped beat that he had come to hate. The fastest way to ruin a song was by making it your alarm, which he had realised too late. Gil wanted to cover his head with his pillow and sleep on. He blindly reached out for the alarm clock to hit snooze but he couldn't find it. He pulled his head away from his pillow and went on to look for it. A small gasp escaped from his lips when he looked straight into Harry's blue eyes lined with a thick black eyeliner. When he discovered Harry had his alarm clock he hit him with his pillow. Harry grinned.

"Mornin' princess, time to wake up." Harry had to duck before Gil could strike him with another blow to the head with his pillow. "Breakfast's ready and it's served by a wee pretty lady." Harry said before grinning and mouthing Blue's name. Gil flushed and hit his best friend one more time. "Well, Harry dear, at least she can do her eyeliner properly," Both boys snapped their heads around to look at a grinning Desiree. "Maybe she'll be so kind to teach you." With a flip of her hair and a wink Desiree walked away. Harry grinned and hit Gil before pulling him out of his bunk. "Let's go matey, let's see her infamous eyeliner then."

Gil quickly changed into his spare shirt, because honestly there wasn't much choice. It was washed or unwashed. Then he walked through the Black Pearl to the dining room. It wasn't hard to find as he heard someone singing and others making a beat by drumming with their cutlery and he heard Harry whistling. As he opened the door he saw Uma singing while the rest was jamming with her. It didn't surprise Gil anymore. The only thing new he saw where their new clothes. He saw brighter colours, new jeans and new leather jackets with studs. Uma showed her slim figure in some tight turquoise jeans and a black shirt with the crew's symbol on it. Her famous leather jacket lay lifeless on her chair. Harry was sporting a new shirt, one which wasn't as ripped apart. Quinn, Desiree's girlfriend and daughter of the Queen of Hearts, was rocking a heart inspired jacket with matching knee high socks and a short black jumpsuit. The crew dressed in new clothes was really a sight to behold. On the Isle you were lucky if you had enough fabric to create something your size. Suddenly he noticed Blue waving him over. When he reached her she shoved him a new shirt and some jeans in his arms. She smiled apologetically as she immediately walked away and continued with giving the hungry pirates their food. Blue herself was rocking some high-waisted black jeans and a blue halter top. Her leather jacket had an octopus holding an apple on it. Her newly cut hair just reached below her chin and the blue ribbon in her hair reminded Gil of her mother's very own ribbon. She was indeed wearing some eyeliner and mascara and bright red lipstick. Blue looked like some vintage rocker girl that Gil had seen in an old magazine. Gil tore his gaze away from the girl and found a place at the table. Jonas quickly threw him some eggs and a piece of ham. He grinned at Jonas as he grabbed some bread and juice before starting a conversation with Quinn and Desiree. He talked a bit with them about the day that lay ahead of them and how they imagined that the day would go. It was just small talk but it made him feel better. Uma had stopped with singing and had started with shoving food down her throat in a rapid tempo. Quickly the room grew quiet as the pirates were eating more food than they were accustomed to. The kids they had taken with them where long gone as Auradon had taken custody of them. Gil did miss Mustafa but he understood why it was better that the state raised the kids. And they would visit anytime they wanted to. Now idea if it is allowed but it would surely happen. Every single pirate seemed lost in their thoughts and the only sound heard was Cat drinking some milk. The clock reached 8 am and the pirates moved to the deck. Gonzo was quick to point out that he heard the limo approaching. Memphis and Alyssa, the crew's newest members besides Blue and best friends, were giggling at Gonzo pointing out the obvious.
