I felt a little guilty for foisting that horrid washing machine Sue onto you the other day. Here for your enjoyment is good old classic Elizabeth Impersonation Sue. The writing is only entertainingly bad, not oh-God-my-eyes-my-eyes bad. I give you:
TITLE:
To Love a Pirate CULPRIT:
Captian Jack Sparrow SUMMARY: Jackoc I will love you till the end of time and nothing can ever change that. Aww, Jackoc, I didn't know you cared.
BEST LINE: “Korie, can I talk to you for a minute?” Asked Commoner Norrington. Oh, dear.
As well as:
We walked over to the edge of the building that had the expanding ocean under it. TIDAL WAAAAAVE!
“Humm.” “I have dreamed of marring a fine woman, Korie, you are a fine woman.” He said. Wow, has he switched his priorities!
" a silver bead that had silver thin pieces dangling from it that Jack gave me when he rescued me from his muteness first mate, Barbossa" A never-before-seen side effect of the pirate curse!
Verdict:
NAME: Korie Anders
HAIR/EYES/DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: "'Yeah right, my hair is to red, my eyes are to green, and my skin is to tan since I like being outside.' I said." Nothing says Sue Modesty like underhanded boasting about how really-I'm-not-beautiful-REALLY one is.
OH SO SPESHUL POSSESSIONS: A too-tight dress and one of Jack's hair ornaments. *extreme annoyance*
OBNOXIOUS AND/OR IMPLAUSIBLE ORIGIN: She is the adopted daughter of Governor Swann, though I don't see how this is relevant to the plot or the character or...well...anything, so far.
OBNOXIOUS AND/OR IMPLAUSIBLE CANON CONNECTIONS/AFFILIATIONS: She is the love object of "Commoner" Norrington, and the lust object of "Capitan" Jack. Who are these people? And why do they keep invading our beloved movie?
SOOPER SPESHUL ABILITIES: The ability to swim just fine with her colonial dress on, and yet suddenly turn into deadweight the moment that Jack comes to rescue her. Also, the ability to live on Jack's favorite island with him for a year without any outside help.
TRAGIC PAST: More like tragic present. Isn't it so sad that the Commodore is putting the moves on her while she is sadly forced to wear her too-tight dress and act like a lady? Araeph is weeping. Though that might be from the sheer canon rape.
THE "PLOT": Go watch Pirates of the Caribbean again and enjoy the wit, the adventure, the humor. Now, erase Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Will. Put a Sue in Elizabeth's place and have her go directly to the island Jack was marooned on, with Sparrow in tow. Imagine that these two have survived on a deserted island with only rum for sustenance for an entire year. Then stop right before Jack gives his speech about the Pearl being freedom for him, and skip ahead to Dead Man's Chest, only with Jack on the island instead of his ship. Plunk Will and Elizabeth back in, and pretend that they and Jack and Barbossa fought it out despite it being completely impossible in this particular fanfiction universe. Lastly, watch a pirated version of DMC, up to the cannibal island...with the sound off and subtitles done by Japanese teenagers with only a passing familiarity with the English language. Make the Pearl reappear and have the Sue take over for Jack in steering it.
You have just envisioned a less ridiculous storyline than this one.
NOTES: I swear, this author takes special pleasure in misquoting the movie. Despite spending time writing fanfiction and copying half the movie's lines, she doesn't seem to be able to get a single one of them right. Jack's effects and hat are now his "prefects and hat". He has turned Spanish again, not because the author spells his title as "Capitan" once but because she spells it that way every. Single. Time. The writer is also allergic to tense consistency and must have an electric buzzer beneath her enter key. I can think of no other explanation for the 715-word paragraphs. Eyes, beware.
That said, it's very easy to imagine this ending a different way. In fact, I did, in the last lj-cut. Have fun.
And now, onto the main event.
Jack is a Capitan Once More
Meeting My Capitan
I fanned my face trying to get more air in my lungs cause my dress is way to tight. Corset, not dress, chickie.“It’s the newest fashion is London.” I mocked my adoptive father. You mean, all of the ladies in London are now wearing extraordinarily tight dresses? Funny, I've never heard of that historical fashion trend. “Korie, can I talk to you for a minute?” Asked Commoner Norrington. “Yes.” I said gasping out. We walked over to the edge of the building that had the expanding ocean under it. You do realize that this means Fort Charles is floating away on that expanding ocean of yours? I looked to the horizon. “I have been thinking this for a while now.” James Norrington said. “Humm.” “I have dreamed of marring a fine woman, Korie, you are a fine woman.” He said. Then he took her away to his bed and "marred" her. From then on, Korie was a fallen woman and a disgrace to her family. “Yeah right, my hair is to red, my eyes are to green, and my skin is to tan since I like being outside.” I said. I mentally smacked my self for saying what was in my mind. “Elizabeth?” He asked. Oh, so you're Elizabeth now, eh? As we know, Suethors have a habit of stealing the personalities of canon characters and then making them out of character or simply nonexistent. It's exact copying of the movie with a thin veneer of originality...but every so often, their copy-paste methods show through. “Sorry, go on.” I said fanning my self again. I was losing oxygen, and fast. “You are that fine woman.” He said. I was shocked and appalled. I really didn’t like it when people called me a fine person. Oh, good. How about this: you're an overly self-critical, loud-mouthed, inconsiderate young harpy...and I've only known you for one paragraph. I'm sure there's more. It makes me feel like I am being judged from all the girls in the world. I didn’t like feeling judged and picked for first prize. How dare he call her a fine woman! Any sensible girl would feel "judged" by that statement! I really didn’t want to be here any more and I looked around me to see if there is anywhere I can go.
There isn’t so I thought and an idea struck my mind. Her mind tottered and fell down, since ideas didn't normally have contact with it. I looked to see if James was looking and he wasn’t. I smirked and closed my eyes. I leaned back and fell off of the edge. Didn't you listen to the part about Elizabeth narrowly missing those rocks? But hey, if you want to commit suicide, be my guest. “Korie!” I heard him yell. I smirked and felt myself hit the water. I opened my eyes and sank to the bottom. I was about to swim off In those heavy clothes? How? when I heard someone dive into the water. I closed my eyes and a couple of seconds later, I felt someone wrap muscular arms around me. Jack, as we all know, has bulging biceps, unlike that scrawny Commoner guy who's only been a professional military man for years and years. This was surly not James, for one he was still probably making his way down, and for another, he was scrawny looking if you ask me. No one did. Shut up. I opened my eyes so see a quit handsome person. Who am I kidding he is really handsome. He had long, brown, dreadlocks with different beads in. He had a beard that was braded in two braids. I saw him look down and he smiled. I smiled back and we came up for air. “Hey, can you not take me back?” I asked him. “What did you say luv?” He asked. “Can you not bring me back there?” I asked. “Why not?” “Because I don’t want to.” I said. “Fine by me, always love some company.” He said. “Now luv, we are going to get back to shore, but we can leave shortly after.” He said. “Why?” “Cause my prefects and hat are there.” He said. “What is your name?” I asked. “Capitan Jack Sparrow luv. ¡Hola!” “Korie Anders.” I said. “Well Korie, you are going to have to look dead for a sec or two.” Jack said. “Kay.” I said closing my eyes and smiling a bit. I felt his hand some *snicker* to my face and put my lips into a frown. My eyes snapped open. “Hey, can’t smile luv.” Jack said smiling down at me, showing me his golden teeth. I smiled back and closed my eyes again, trying not to smile at all, which is really hard for me, at times. We went back under water and he took his knife and cut a layer of my dress off. I opened my eyes wide and looked at the layer floating to the bottom. We went back up top. “What did you do that for?” I asked. “It was waiting us down.” Jack said. That didn't seem to stop her before. I looked into his deep brown eyes that were outlined with black charcoal. Jack's gotta look like a raccoon or undead with charcoal around his eyes. I blushed when finding out what I was doing. He smiled and started swimming again, which was my cue to close my eyes again. I got lifted up and set onto the docks. He cut off another layer of my dress and I could breath normally again. I opened my eyes again and sat up. I got up and saw that Jack was in shackles that James had ordered the guards to do. He threw the shackles over my head and I turned around so my back was facing him. Wait. WAIT! She was playing dead! And yet she turned around! Did the author READ her own story? “Give her my things, and the hat.” Jack said making it look like he was chocking me. Oh, I've have just about enough of this.
Time passes, Araeph gets bored
Time Passes, Love Begins
It had been a year since the day of my escape and Jack and I were on the same island. I assume you are both now skeletons sitting side by side. We had gone off of it, but the navy had found us and now we were back on the island. The only thing that really changed was that I had feelings for Jack, and I was wearing some of the clothes that he let me borrow from him So, Jack Sparrow goes around carrying extra sets of clothing, does he? instead of a dress. I never knew these feelings before, and quit frankly, they scared me. “Yo Ho Yo Ho a pirates life for me!” Jack and I shouted loudly as we ran, skipped, and jumped around a big fire we made. I felt very different and I was slurring my words. Jack slurred his words to, but he always talked like that. I linked one arm with his and held my bottle of rum with the other. We twirled around and around. I tilted my head back and laughed into the night sky. Jack laughed with me as we kept spinning. Jack tripped and fell down on his back. He flailed his arms trying to grab onto something. He got hold of my wrist and pulled him self into a sitting position and I fell to the ground besides him. I put my head on his shoulder. “How are you liking the third time on this island?” I asked him. “Love it luv.” He said stroking my hair. I looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star. “Look Jack, a shooting star.” This plot device again. I said. “Make a wish luv.” Jack said taking my hand. “We will always be together.” I whispered. “I can make that possible.” Jack said looking straight into my eyes. I blushed and smiled. “I love that smile luv.” Jack said and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. I leaned into his hand and closed my eyes. I then got a great idea. I opened my eyes to see Jack face close to mine. His eyes were closed and he kept leaning in. I jumped up and ran towards the water. Jack stared at me like I was mad, and then he smiled at me and chuckled. “Playing hard to get aye luv?” Jack asked getting up. “You can call it whatever you want.” I laughed and tripped over my self. That takes some talent. I landed on my back and saw Jack running towards me. I got up and skipped, jumped, ran, and did all sorts of crazy things. I felt the water hit my go Hit your go? up to my ankles and I twirled around and around. I stood on my toes and stretched out my arms straight as a strong breeze came and blew my red hair "Just in case the readers forgot how beautiful my hair is supposed to be!" with a silver bead that had silver thin pieces dangling from it that Jack gave me when he rescued me Noooooo...*cries* Leave Jack's hair alone!from his muteness first mate, Barbossa. I love this author's re-interpretation of movie lines. I opened my eyes and could tell that Jack was trying to sneak up on me. I ran to my left and saw Jack fall into the water. I laughed when he came up and started running after me. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. “You will never catch me!” I yelled. All the sudden, Jack wrapped his arms around my waist and we fell into the water. I turned around so that I could face Jack, and smiled. “I got you now luv.” Jack said and smiled, showing me his gold teeth. “Looks that way Mr. Sparrow.” I said and laughed out of pure happiness. He pushed back a strand of my hair and I blushed. He put his hand under my head She has a detachable head, now? and pushed it up. I could feel his breath on my lips If there's one enticing thing about Jack Sparrow, it's his breath! and I smiled again and closed my eyes. “Jack?” I heard someone ask from the woods Apparently this island has gotten an extreme makeover. as our lips graced on another’s. *facepalm*
My eyes shot open and gave a terrified expression. Jack looked down at me and gave a small smile. “Well, if it isn’t Will.” "Who mysteriously appeared here despite not knowing how to steer a ship!" Jack said getting up off of me and helping me up. “Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t think that I was interrupting anything important.” The man, that was apparently named Will, said. “Korie luv, can us men have a, small chat?” Jack asked. “Sure.” I said as he let go of my waist. They walked over towards the woods and I sat back down in the water.
“Why are you here Will?” I asked impatiently looking over towards Korie who was sitting down in the water staring up in the sky. “I need your compass.” He stated bluntly. “Sorry mate, but I am currently using it.” I said waving him off. “Jack! I need it so that Elizabeth and I will get free from jail!” He shouted. Korie looked over at us and I smiled. She smiled back and looked into the sky again, her long red hair blowing in the breeze. “Well mate, I hate to break it to ye, but I, as I have said before, am currently using it.” I said. “Jack! There is a ship! Look!” I heard Korie shout. I looked over and she was running over to me. I held out my arms and she ran into them. I hugged her and swayed for a minute. I looked over and knew what ship it is in an instant. “That is the Pearl luv, nothing to be afraid of.” I said. But if Jack and Sue spent all of that time on the island, why doesn't Barbossa still have control of the Pearl? ‘Wait, the “Pearl”. I can use that as an excuse to get away.’ I thought. Even Sue wants out of her own story!
Fear the paragraph of doom!
That night, I was sitting on the railing of the Pearl humming ‘A pirates life for me’ and swinging my legs back and forth smiling widley. “Hey Korie.” I heard someone behind me say. I jumped a bit and looked back to see Will. “Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” “Well, you are to late for that.” I spat, the smile on my face quickly vanishing. “Look, I am really sorry about that, but I have learned that Jack will not do anything unless the tables are turned on him.” “Oh, well, I can expect for people to do rational things for the people they love.” I said. “So, I hear you live in Port Royal?” “Yeah, I do.” “That is were Elizabeth and I live.” “Oh! Really? I heard that the Governor before my adoptive father had a daughter that went to prison with her fiancée for helping a pirate. Who was he?” “Jack Sparrow.” “Capitan.” I said smiling. “Right, sorry for forgetting his title.” Will said sarcastically. “Well, I am going to go see were Jack has gone off to.” I said hopping off of the railing and walking towards Jack’s room. “Jack?” I asked opining the door. He wasn’t there, but there were three rum bottles and a big map splayed on a table. I grabbed one and tilted it up but nothing came out. I walked to where the crew slept and didn't see Jack there. "Get up! Hurry and get up!" Jack said yelling as he came into the room. "What is the matter Capitan?" Gibbs asked. "Nothing, just we need to get as far away as we can, savvy?" Jack asked a little bit more calmn now. Every one ran out of the room and I followed them. I took controll of the Pearl. I looked towards the stairs and saw Jack leaning on the wall behind them. "Gibbs! Can you take charge?" I asked. "Of course." Gibbs said running over as I made my way over to Jack. "What is the matter?" I asked him. "Nothing, every thing is fine." Jack said quickly. "Jack, what ever it is, you know that I will be here." I said hugging him. He was really tensed up, but he relaxed. "I will never let anything bad happen to you luv." Jack said while moving his hand up and down my back. We looked at another and stared at another. We leaned in and as on the island, I could feel his breath on my lips. I saw him close his eyes and I did the same thing. Our lips just touched anothers when we heard someone clear their throut. My eyes snapped open and I looked at Jack who looked suppirsed as well. I turned around and saw Will tapping his foot. "Am I intorupting something?" Will asked sarcastically. "Yes, infact you are." Jack said angerily. "Well, I am sorry Capitan, but how is it fair that you are down here with this beautiful woman and we are working?" Will asked. "What do you want eunuch?" Jack asked. "The compass." "Well, there is actually something that you can do now. "And what is that?" "Well, I will tell you when the time comes." Jack said and let go of me and walked up the stairs to the wheel. I sighed and started to follow Jack. "Hey, Korie." Will said. "What?" I asked irritated. "Again, I am sorry." "For what?" I asked trying to make it like nothing happened. "You know why." Will said. I glared at him and ran up the stairs to see Jack steering the ship. I walked over and he seemed lost in his head. "Jack?" I asked. "Humm, oh, Korie, what is it luv?" Jack asked wrapping an arm around my waist. "I am worried about you." I said and put my head on his shoulder. "Every thing is ok." Jack said. "No it's not! You are not yourself!" I protested. "Korie, everything is ok, you'll see." Jack said. I smiled trying to hide the fact that something was terribaly wrong, but at the moment, I didn't really care. All I really cared about was that the man my heart went out to was here, besides me, his arm around me protecting me from the harsh world.
Araeph's version of this fic
“I have dreamed of marring a fine woman, Korie, you are a fine woman.” He said. “Yeah right, my hair is to red, my eyes are to green, and my skin is to tan since I like being outside.” I said. I mentally smacked my self for saying what was in my mind. “Elizabeth?” He asked.
"Yes?" asked the young woman, who had reappeared after her brief holiday in Fanfiction Oblivion.
Norrington, a Commodore once more, blinked as if stunned. "The sun must be a bit too much today."
Elizabeth smiled. "I quite agree, though I think replacing the 'n' with an 'e' would allow you to discover the real cause of your disorientation."
Norrington raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh? But her name's not-ah." Using his newly-restored wits, he glanced back at the young red-haired and green-eyed beauty. "Yes, I see."
The tanned girl who was beautiful (but didn't know just how beautiful she was) grimaced at Elizabeth. "What are you doing here? Go AWAY! It's my story, now! Mine, mine, mine!"
"You don't even know what the story is, much less how to take charge of it," Elizabeth scoffed.
Korie put her hands on her shapely hips...an easy thing to do in her inappropriately tight dress. "Oh, yeah?" she shot back. "I'll show you! I can do everything you can, only ten times better! Watch!"
Giving Norrington a fiery (or devilish, take your pick) smirk, she stepped back towards the edge of the fort.
"What in the world do you think you're doing?" demanded the Commodore as Korie started to fling herself from the wall.
"It's a miracle if you miss those rocks!" Elizabeth snapped. "Weren't you paying attention?"
"GERONIMO!" yelled the Sue with glee as she plummeted from the fort.
There was a brief silence, and then a solid SPLAT.
After a moment's pause, Norrington looked over the edge. "If I hadn't seen so many battles, I'd be decidedly nauseated," he said composedly.
Elizabeth giggled naughtily. "Do you miss your little tagalong?"
As the last of the Sue-spell left his mind, Norrington gave a little shudder of revulsion. "Not particularly. Now then, Elizabeth, I believe we had matters to discuss?"
The End!
