[Abigail Thatcher]

Abby smiled as Will made his way back to her. She had been wanting to twirl around on the dance floor but no one asked her. "I was hoping you would come back. I'd love to dance with you again." Abby and Will made their way to the center of the room. The musicians started to play a slower song with a smooth, slow beat. Will led Abby in an old-fashioned ballroom dance. They moved gracefully to the music. "How have you been? It seems like ages since we last saw each other."

[Will Turner]

*Will smiled, glad she wanted to dance with him again. He admired her dancing skills.* I've been fine. You really should stop by the house more often Abigail we love to have you over, and not just for cleaning and things but you make for great company! *Will smiled. Abigail was one of the families closest friends. Then Will thought about his wife.* I wonder where she went off too, upstairs maybe? Hum. *He wondered, glancing about at the various guests, then Barbossa fell flat on his arse, taking Saber with him. Wills eyebrows darted up then he laughed.*

[Captain Morgan Barbossa]

(OOC: I'll move me last post over here, since the Eunuch couldn't wait fer me to do it in the last one )
Will Edit: Not my fault your slow...ugly hat *ebil grinn
::Barbossa smiled when Saber slipped back into her pirate accent. If he'd thought she was beautiful before, he was completely under her spell now. She was perfect!:: "Saber, ma dear...I don' know what ta say ta ye. I've never felt this way before 'round a woman. In fact..." ::Suddenly, just as Barbossa was leaning in to kiss her, Jack Monkey jumped up onto his shoulder and screeched. He was so startled, he toppled over, pulling Saber down with him. He looked over at her, and at everyone else in the room, and burst into a fit of laughter::

[Saber & Kat Tompson]

As Saber danced with Barbossa, she thought she saw a certian look in his eyes. It was a look that many had given her one time or another, but now as she looked up at him she realized that this look was different, sort of softer. She couldnt quite discribe it. Now he was bending down slightly to her, but then Jack the monkey jumped on his shoulder and screeched. Saber actualy gave a small scream herself she was so suprised. Barbossa and she fell down in a heep. She looked at him and he at her and they started to laugh. Saber made a lunge at the monkey but missed. As she stood up to try to get the little fiend she tripped on her dress and fell down again. Something clatterd to the floor near Barbossa. It was a fine pistol with silver wrought into the handle.(Remember Barbossa?) Saber held her breath as she quickly stood up and waited for Barbossa's response.

[Carrie "Longshanks" Barker]

*Carrie hurried into the new ball room. Her Scarlet low cut gown was starting to feel quite uncomfortable. But still she smiled and made her way down the staircase. She sat in the corner* "Hello everyone. I would very much like to dance with someone if they were not too busy. I haven't had a dance in so long! Will anyone join me?"

[Sarah Fleming]

Sarah was tired of sitting with Maria and the sleeping twins. She knew Maria would never dance, unless asked, so Sarah decided to go and find herself someone to dance with. She was still mad that Paul hadn't said anything to her and wasn't speaking to him now anyway. Sarah walked over to Jack Sparrow, a man she had always thought fondly of. Jack, I was wondering...Sarah suddenly got very pink, she didn't usually ask men to dance. ...Would you care to dance?

[Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon]

Emma sighed again,mildly bored and strongly reminded of her days in London as a girl.She had an urge to put her feet up on a table of some sort,but there was no such available table,and she thought she remembered somethin' about that not being acceptable behavior,anyway....She decided to do a bit of people-watching,since she wasn't dancing.Over in one corner,a pirate she'd seen once or twice in Tortuga,she didn't know his name,was talking with a girl who looked as though she went to this sort of event all the time...flirting with her,if she'd knew anything of pirate men.She looked over to the danc floor to see if there was anything more interesting;There was.

Saber and Barbossa were in a heap on the floor.As Emma watched,Saber got to her feet,trying to grab Jack the monkey.She failed,and fell over her dress.

Emma sat back,a glass of rum in her hand.

This was going to be good.

[Abigail Thatcher]

Abby laughed as she watched Barbossa and Saber fall to the floor. Her eyes darted around the room to the other spectators, eventually focusing on Carrie. Abby nodded to Will, "look Miss Carrie is looking for a dance partner again. Just look at that low cut gown? She really wants to attract attention tonight!" Abby fumed a bit. She wanted to be the belle of the ball. The musicians started playing a fast song. "Shall we move a little faster Will?" Abby liked the song. It reminded her of the jigs from back home, London.

[Will Turner]

*Will smiled then laughed at Abigails comment and nodded when she asked if he wanted to move faster. Those were his favorite types of dances, the faster ones.* That sounds like a plan to me Abby! *Will said then they swirrled about the dance floor in quick but poetic like moves*

[Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon]

Emma felt a twinge of regret at not having a dance partner-fast songs were the only ones she'd ever been any good at.But she held it in,watching the other partygoers with rum in her hand and a slight smile on her face.

[Captain Morgan Barbossa]

::Barbossa got to his feet, and was about to help Saber up as well when he saw the silver pistol drop to the floor. He eyed it suspiciously, then felt his belt for his own gun. It was gone:: "Why...?" ::He looked back at Saber, feeling hurt and betrayed, waiting for an explaination::

[Saber & Kat Tompson]

Saber stood there playing with her dress. She looked up at Barbossa for a second then looked at the floor. She cleared her throat. "umm...well ...ah...yes Barbossa its yours." she finally got it out. "I borrowed it..... without permision, from your...gift shop." her words began to come fast. "I could tell you thought me a fool for tradin the way I did, and I wanted ta change that." she sighed. "Take it back now, I have no need of it." she turned and started to walk away. Saber could tel Barbossa was a bit hurt, after all what had just happend.

[Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon]

As Emma sat,rum in hand,watching the drama unfold and wishing she had a dance partner,she felt a tap at her shoulder.She looked up."Can I help you?"

There was a young man standing abover her.He had shaggy black hair and startlingly green eyes.He smiled.

"My name's Rick," he said."I was wondering if you'd like to dance.But if you don't want to,I understand..."he trailed off,blushing slightly,and made as though to walk away.

Emma sprang to her feet,grabbed his hands,and started dancing,not noticing the people staring at her...

Because Emma was dancing opposite someone who was not,in fact,there.

[Abigail Thatcher]

Abby did her best to keep up with Will. He sure knew how to dance to the music. Unfortunately, Abby's high heeled shoes got caught in her long hem and she tripped, falling down and bringing Will down with her. Abby grimaced as she landed on her elbow. "Ouch!...Serves me right for wearing these shoes." She looked over at Will who had fallen flat on his face. "Are you all right?" she asked in a concerned voice.
