Pirates of the Caribbean Songfic

Song: To My Prettiest Friend by Jason Mraz

This is what I look like today
And I'm trying not to pull out my hair
I'm trying hard to grow it but I'm far too shy to show it back there

Jack looked towards Arabella. She was sitting on a barrel, singing a sweet joyful song to anyone who would care to listen. Jack walked towards her ready to tell her everything that was on his mind, but he just couldn’t get himself to do it. He started pulling at his hair in frustration, racking his brains to think of what to say to Arabella.

Arabella was looking towards Jack who was now pulling at his hair making it a mess. Jack looked towards her to see her looking at him. Jack quickly turned away, not wanting her to see him blush.

That is probably why I like wearing hats
There's no denying I'm deferring the facts
Avoiding confrontation
Lacks tact in a situation
Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn

Jack quickly ran to go find his hat, so that she would not see the mess that he called hair. He quickly put it on his head, mentally yelling at himself for chickening out. He could not deny the feelings he felt towards Arabella, but he could not bring himself to even talk to her. Jack quickly walked towards Arabella; he was about to say something when he saw Arabella smile which made his heart flutter. He quickly looked away. Arabella knew something was on his mind and if he did not say it, he would soon be bald. Arabella smiled and looked at Jack.

But if you asked me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming
And oh, it goes to show
There's so much to know

“Something wrong, Jack?” Arabella asked him, looking at him with a smile on her face. Jack was going mad he could not think straight; he could not even walk in a straight line. Jack just shook his head and walked to one of the cabins on the ship, looking for a place to be alone, a place he could think through what he was going to say. I can’t tell her. Jack said over and over in his mind. He looked towards some papers and pens on the desk of the cabin. A smile came to his lips as he quickly grabbed the ink and the paper and began to write:

I wrote this for my prettiest friend
But while trying not to prove that I care
I was trying not to make all my moves in one motion and scare her away
Well she can't see she's making me crazy now
I don't believe she knows she's amazing how
She has me holding my breath

So I'll never guess that I'm a none such unsuitable, suited for her

Jack smiled nervously to himself as he walked out of the lonely cabin and placed the letter under her door. He quickly walked away from the door as he heard footsteps coming towards him.

Arabella’s POV

I picked up the letter that was now under my door. I smiled as I looked down the small hallway to see Jack hurrying away. I looked at the letter. It was in beautiful handwriting and on the top of it, it said: To My Prettiest Friend. I smiled to myself as I read the letter, each word making me smile bigger and bigger.

And if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentary
And oh, it goes to show
The moral of the story is boy loves girl
And so on, but the way it unfolds is yet to be told

I felt great; I felt like I could fly! I could not believe what I was reading. He loved me! Where this would lead to next, I would not know. Jack was the one that had to make his move; hopefully he was brave enough to.

Jack’s POV

I sat in the crow’s nest, trying to find peace and tranquility. I would never feel it now.

I was regretting ever writing that note. What if she did not feel the same? What if she would leave me; scared of angering me?

I heard someone start to climb up to the crow’s nest. No way of avoiding them either that was the only way down besides jumping off and landing with a splat. The person climbed in and sat next to me. I did not look up, but I knew who it was.

“Thanks.” She almost whispered. I looked up at her confused.

“For what? I did nothing I should get thanks for.”

“For your beautiful letter and for answering my questions.” Arabella said with a smile. I raised an eyebrow, trying to figure out what she was talking about. “Jack I have been wondering for years if you had the feelings I had! Every time you looked close to telling me you would start to get nervous and go somewhere else, but when I read your letter, I felt myself rise of the ground. I felt…loved.”

I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind
I know that I cannot wait
Until the day we finally learn how to find each other
Redefining open minds

I looked at Arabella with a smile that could blind anyone if the sun was as big as it was. I felt myself lean towards her, but I turned away quickly and she kissed me on my cheek. Be brave, Jack. Jack leaned in and kissed her soft lips.

And if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed
And it's golden, it goes to show then
The ending of this song should be left alone
And so on 'cause the way it unfolds is yet to be told

I felt a smile come to my lips as I looked at Arabella who also had a smile on her beautiful face.

“What now?” Arabella asked with a smile. I thought about it, but I only smiled.

“Our story still has to be told.”

Hey guys! Yeah sorry this is pretty bad. It was rushed…well rushed for me is like three hours, but yeah. Like it? Hate it? Just Rate it!
