I decided that I wanted to include Pirates Of The Caribbean as well considering I love those films as much as HTTYD or LOTR so I've decided to leave Sparrow and Turner and focus on a very important character Davy Jones and his entire crew, and what might happen if a certain character ended up in their world as part of their crew, I know I know its been done many times, I just wanted to try it but let me know how well it goes…
Admiration And Adventure
Chapter 1 - The Wreck
I felt a small mixture of excitement, exacerbation and fear. Here I was on my knees with three other sailors and who I thought was Will Turner who had his brave face on, I wasn't ashamed of being afraid although I wasn't shaking and sobbing like the others I still went over this scene in my head and remembered the things not to say in order to stay alive, sure this was cool being in my favourite movie, but this didn't make me safe from harm so I'll have to make sure I don't get my throat slit by…..
My thoughts were ground to a halt as I heard a boot followed by a peg walking along the creaky, rotten boards of the wreck as one of my favourite characters stood before us, lighting up his pipe.. It was Davy Jones, in the living…er Tentacles.
"Do you fear death?" Jones asked the frightened sailor as he trembled and screwed his eyes shut, I rolled my eyes 'wuss' I thought to myself. "Well I can offer you an escape."
"Don't listen to him!"
I turned my head to the christ pest kneeling next to me with his cross in his shaking hands, I always shook my head at this part, he shows defiance to Jones but the moment he turns his head, he recoils in fear, well it wouldn't do him any good now, I can just make out the dotted line on his neck where Greenbeard would end him for his defiance.
"Do you not fear death?" Jones asked in a surprised tone as he grabbed the sailors neck with his large pincer.
"I'll take my chances sir." I shook my head and formed a small grin, he will die anyway and he still calls him sir, so he's a kiss arse as well as a coward, no wonder I didn't feel anything for him when he was killed.
"To the depths!" Jones announced to Greenbeard as he held the chaplains head back and slit his throat, I couldn't help but smirk a little as the entire crew laughed evilly as the chaplain was thrown into the dark sea.
Jones however noticed my smirk and got into eye contact with me, he knelt down and looked closely at my face. "You don't appear scared at all." He said with surprise. "You thinking of playing hero too?"
I shook my head and decided to put my knowledge to work, it could save my life. "Er no Sir, just enjoyed seeing M.r god man getting what was coming to him?"
Jones raised an eyebrow and cocked his head. "You knew of his defiance?"
I nodded quickly. "I also know that Jack Sparrow had sent someone to settle his debt." I crossed my fingers as Jones went wide eyed and went over to Turner and demanded to know why he was here, I sighed with relief as Jones disappeared onto the Black Pearl to confront Sparrow about his debt, I also noticed that Maccus, Greenbeard, Kolenico, Clanker, Turner and the rest of the sailors had faded to the ship, I was confused when I realised that it was just me and Ogilvey, so I decided to try to speak to him.
"Er… Ogilvey?" I said quietly, I couldn't expect a reaction, this was one of the crew who had no face just lots of coral with one eye in the middle of it, he just looked at me, still holding his blade to me and then looked back towards the pearl.
"Are you ok?" I asked quickly, Ogilvey looked at me again and decided to speak.
"Why on earth would you care?" He asked with his gravelly tone.
"Well when Turner cut you open it looked painful, I just wanted to know if you're well?"
Ogilvey looked at me and turned his head. "Well Im er.. fine, Now keep quiet Im under orders to watch you, not talk to you."
I held up a hand and made a zipping notion on my mouth and looked over to the Pearl and started to piece together everything that I had missed, well so far Sparrow had been given three days to collect his souls and now he was taking off the black spot off his hand, I was always curious about what happened next at this point, I guess I was going to find out.

I was correct, After the Pearl scene I found myself on the flying dutchmen and soon enough I was eagerly looking around and finding every crew member I could recognise and soon enough I stopped as soon as Jones walked up to me and looked at me with a confused glare.
"You're not quivering or shakin at all, whats wrong with your lad? Do you no fear us?" As Jones said this he indicated everyone on the ship, I just shook my head.
"Not really, I find you to be more interesting than scary."
Jones shook his head and ordered Maccus to take the other sailors to the brig, I wondered why I wasn't going down too? Was I too young? Or had I confused Jones too much? And where on earth was Turner?
"Interesting how?" He raised another eyebrow and leaned forward, taking a couple of puffs from his pipe.
"Well for starters, you don't have to offer me an escape because I am going to ask myself."
Davy blinked a couple of times. "Ask what lad?"
I breathed in and announced loudly. "I, William J. Hickey would like to join the crew of the flying dutchman!" Every single crew member dropped what they were carrying and stopped and looked towards me and Jones nearly fell over backwards, Had a young lad just asked to join their crew? He must've misheard.
"Hand on lad, you… a boy want to join us and serve on this ship?" I nodded again and smiled slightly.
"Yes I do and before you ask, yes I know we only make port once every ten years and yes I know the whole part of the crew, part of the ship motto so theres no need to tell me."
Jones scowled once before rising. "Well then if ye already know the rules, then ye know the punishment for breaking em, do ye not?"
I nervously nodded. "I do five lashes from Jimmy Legs should I misbehave." I looked around again, here I am stood in the middle of the ship, being showered in confused looks from the crew, and Jones seemed pretty calm about this, maybe he thought I was Psychic or something.

It hadn't been more than five minutes since my announcement before Jones ushered me into his quarters and started to look very annoyed.
"Right, I want to know how ye know of our rules, why you so willingly want to join us and how the bloody hell do you know the names of the crew?!" I was pretty afraid at this point, Davy Jones angry and closeup wasn't half as scary in the film, but to have him this close in the living er… tentacles was even more scary than an exam, so I decided to collect my nerves and explain myself.
"I ended up on that wrecked ship by pure chance, I didn't think I would ned up here….
"And now I'm here in front of my favourite characters from Pirates Of The Caribbean."
Davy Jones stood there in front of me, he looked vacant, he took a deep breath and sunk into a chair. "Well, at least your knowledge of the future can help us, but tell me laddie, do you really want to be part of this crew?"
I didn't give it a second thought and I stood up and walked up to Jones. "Yes! Theres nothing more I want to do but to serve under you." I went down on one knee and bowed my head, I didn't get an A* in drama for nothing, might as well put the skills to the test.
Jones then stood up, he still looked confused. "Well then welcome to the crew." He took my hand in his tentacled hand and I felt a tremendous searing pain in the palm of my hand, It took all my strength not to yell out in pain as Jones held my hand tighter and the hissing got louder, the pain seemed endless but then Jones released me hand, I snatched my hand back and looked at it Nothing was there, I could've sworn that he had burned my hand but there was nothing there, Jones then laughed slightly as I turned to him in shock.
"That lad is your initiation to our crew, I didn't tell ye it would hurt in case ye changed your mind."
I smirked too slightly, he did get me good, but damn I could still feel the pain slightly.
"Now lad, tell me your name, I never asked for it."
"William Hickey, sir." I replied proudly. "And it will be an honour to serve." I stopped the complements there, Jones might have been a revolting, tentacled fishbeast but I could assume he wasn't stupid and could detect a suck up from a mile away so I kept the rest of my admiration for Jones tucked away on my head.
"Right well soon enough ye will change into one of us, and that doesn't frighten you lad?"
I laughed quietly as we left his quarters. "Are you kidding? Thats awesome! I hope I get a fin and some scales or something."
Jones looked at me with a look of deep confusion and fatigue as he lead me out of his quarters and rolled his eyes, who did he just agree to have for a crew member and why did he seem so happy?
Well there we go, please please tell me what you think of it for a full story, read, review and any advice is always welcome and I will acknowledge all of the crew in it, but for the time being read and review bye :)
