"We're going to steal a ship? That ship?"
Bella gestures towards the Dauntless.
"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer a ship. Nautical term."

[Bella's POV]
Ok let's get two things straight appearantly there is a way to be under water for a longer period of time,second Jack is crazy.
"This is either crazy, or brilliant."
Will voices Bella's thoughts. "Remarkable how often those two traits coincide."
They were curretly in an air bubble under a boat.
"I whould go with the Crazy part."
Bella mumbles,she was in the middle,Jack in front and Will behind her.

Somehow they managed to get aboard the Dauntless they all pull out their swords.
"Everybody stay calm. We're taking over the ship!"
"Aye! Avast!"
You can guess who that was.
Smooth William,smooth.
Jack gives him a look, shakes his head as if saying: don't do that. The sailors all look at them,and then burst out laughing. They grin, shake their heads. Jack stands there, grinning with them. The Lieutenant, Gillette, steps forward. Didn't notice Bella yet,she was behind Will.
"This ship cannot be crewed by only two men. You'll never make it out of the bay."
Jack then cocks his gun into his face.
"I am Captain Jack Sparrow,savvy?"
He smirks and Gillette gulps.

[Still Bella's POV]
To describe the situation right now,...i have no idea...
Jack is shouting at Will who is fumbling with the ropes.
I was sitting on a barrel rather amused,watching this.
Suddenly Will runs up to Jack.
"Here they come"
Jack grinns over at the Interceptor,which is making her way towards us.
We then quickly hide and wait.
Norrington's smaller ship quickly comes alongside the slowmoving Dauntless. Its decks appear empty. Grappling hooks are thrown, and sailors draw the two ships together. Norrington's men swarm across. "Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges!".
Meanwhile Jack,Will and me swing on the Interceptor unnoticed. He he he.
Men!

Norrington emerges from a gangway and sees his other ship moving away. "Sailors! Back to the Interceptor!" But the distance is already too great. One brave sailor tries to swing across on a rope, Errol-Flyn style, but falls short with a splash. Jack waves, and shouts across the distance "Thank you, Commodore, for getting our ship ready to make way! We'd've had a hard time of it by ourselves!" Norrington seethes. "Raise the sails." Gillette comes forward.
"The wind is quarter from astern ... by the time we're underway, we'll never catch them."
" We need only to come about, to put them in range of the long nines." Gillette looks surprised at the order , but relays it.
"Hands! Come about! Jackets off the cannons!" he then turns to Norringto . "We are to fire on our own ship?"
" Better to see it at the bottom of the sea than in the hands of a pirate."
The steersman turns the wheel. The Dauntless' course does not change one whit. "Captain, there's a problem. The Steersman spins the wheel. It goes round and round, with no signs of slowing."
"He's disabled the rudder chain, sir."
" So it would seem."
The Interceptor dwindles with distance. Gillette watches it go, with some degree of admiration. " He's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen." Norrington reaches out, stops the spinning ship's wheel.
" So it would seem." The Interceptor makes for the horizon line.

Elizabeth stalks the cabin. Pintel enters, carrying a dark red silk dress. "You'll be dining with the Captain, and he requests you wear this."
