“Something More”



Prologue- How Do I Breathe?


Keira couldn’t believe it. Pirates was actually over. It had taken up the majority of the last five years of her life, and now it was done. Finished. Goodbye, end of story.

There was only one thing left to look forward to: the cast vacation to the Caribbean. Two weeks of bliss with the people she loved most in the world. And then it would be gone. Forever.



Chapter 1- Why Can’t I?


The airport was busy, people heading back and forth, half of them not even taking planes, but there to say goodbye or hello to their loved ones.

Keira searched desperately for her terminal. She still couldn’t figure out why the private plane reserved only for the Pirates cast members was taking off from a public airport.

She finally found terminal A121, her terminal. She let out a sigh of relief and plopped down next to a disgruntled looking Jack Davenport.

“They do realize that it’s 7:30 in the morning?” he grumbled. “Some of us need our beauty sleep!”

Keira laughed. “It’s nice to see you too, Jack!”

“You seem awfully happy for bloody 7:30 in the morning!” Jack noted. He looked around. “Where’s mister I-look-like-I-just-smelled-my-own-sh*t?”

Keira opened her mouth to answer when somebody grabbed her from behind and pulled her into a bear hug.

“Keira! It’s been too long!” Johnny Depp said, giving her a noogie. “I haven’t seen you in ages!”

“Can’t breathe!” she choked out.

“Sorry,” Johnny apologized, letting go of her.

Keira smoothed down her hair, which was now in disarray. “Johnny, it’s only been three days since we last saw each other!”

“Oh,” said Johnny. Pause. “Are you positive?”

“Yes,” Keira laughed. “I’m positively positive.”

“Something’s different about you,” Johnny said. He studied her for a moment. “Aha!” he cried, starling several passersby. “You seem to have lost that slimy git that always follows you around like a puppy. Whats-his-face. Where has he gone, I wonder?”

Keira started to answer when somebody else called her name. She turned around to see Orlando Bloom waving at her, a little girl on his muscular shoulders.

She waved back and went over to join him, forgetting all about Johnny and Jack.

Johnny rolled his eyes. “She’s just as lovesick as always, isn’t she?” he asked Jack.

“How would I know?” Jack questioned back grumpily. “It’s f**king 7:30 in the morning!”

......................*......................

“Hey,” Keira said as she reached Orlando. “Who is this?” she asked, pointing to the little girl.

“She’s Samantha’s,” he explained, pointing to his sister, who was nearby talking with Lee and Mackenzie. “Her name’s Sophie.”

“Hi, Sophie!” Keira said, addressing the little girl. “I’m Keira.”

“You’re pretty,” Sophie told her, smiling, her blue eyes wide.

“Why, thank you!” Keira grinned. “You’re as cute as a button yourself!”

“I don’t look like a button!” Sophie giggled. “You’re silly.”

“You should see her after she’s had a few shots of tequila,” Orlando said.

“Orlando!” Keira exclaimed, a shocked expression on her face. “In front of your niece?”

He shrugged.

“I’m five years old,” Sophie announced, holding up five fingers. “How old are you?”

“I’m twenty-two,” Keira told her.

“You’re old!” Sophie gasped. “How old are you, Uncle Lando?”

“Old,” Orlando said, smiling.

“How old?” Sophie demanded.

“Thirty,” he said, grimacing as though it was the worst thing in the world.

“Wow!” Sophie gasped. “You’re even older than Keira!”

“Are she and Sam coming?” Keira asked Orlando.

“Nah,” he said, shaking his head. “They just came to see me off.”

“All passengers of Flight A121, you flight is now boarding,” a cool female voice announced over the intercom. “Again, all passengers of Flight A121, your flight is now boarding.”

“That’s us!” Orlando said. “Bye, Sophie.” He kissed the top of her head. “Be good for your mum.”

“I will,” Sophie promised. “Bye, Uncle Lando! Bye, Keira!” She ran over to where her mother stood.

“Bye, Sophie! Bye, Sam!” Keira called back, receiving waves in return.

Orlando looked around. “Where’s mister overprotective, over possessive, sh*t-face himself?”

Keira laughed. “Rupert?”

“Yeah, that’s the one.”

“It didn’t work out,” she told him.

He perked up. “Really?”

“Really,” she said. “Now, come on, we have a plane to board!”

Chapter 2- Everything Back But You


“So... why’d you dump him?” Orlando asked as soon as the seatbelt sign went off. They were both on a couch on the plane, sitting cross-legged. Johnny and Jack were on a couch across from them.

“You dumped Rupie?” Johnny asked, being a busy-body as usual.

“Yes, I did,” Keira said matter-of-factly. “I didn’t know you all missed him that much!”

“Miss him? Why the hell would I miss him?” Jack grumbled. “He was an arrogant, pompous ass, and if he were here I would tell him to kiss my----“

Johnny covered Jack’s mouth. “Profanity!” he declared. “Tut, tut, Jack. I should wash your mouth out with soap!”

A muffled sound came from Jack’s mouth.

“What was that?” Johnny asked, removing his hand.

“I said, ‘Bite me!’” Jack snapped. He then threw his legs onto Johnny’s lap, leaned his head back, and prepared to go to sleep.

“Fine! I’ll move!” Johnny said, pushing Jack’s legs off of him. “When you wake up, I hope your attitude is adjusted, mister!” He stomped away and went to go sit next to Kevin McNally.

“Anyways,” Orlando said, turning back to Keira. “Back to the subject. Why’d you dump git-face?”

“Lots of reasons,” she said, attempting to leave it there.

Orlando gave her a questioning look and said, “Like?”

She shrugged. “Little things. He wouldn’t watch chick flicks with me. We always did what he wanted. He didn’t give me the window seat on a plane, even when I asked nicely for it. He never asked me to dance. He never held me when I cried. I never loved him. He cheated on me. I think I love someone else. Little things like that.”

“He did what to you?” Orlando exclaimed, outraged.

“Or, please don’t make a big deal out of this,” she begged in a quiet voice, tears forming in her eyes. “I guess I just wasn’t good enough for him.” A single tear slid down her cheek. Orlando reached over and brushed it away.

“Keira,” he said. “Don’t ever think you’re not good enough. You did nothing wrong. He’s not good enough for you. Plus, you said you didn’t love him anyway, right?”

She nodded.

“And besides, Keir, you’ve got me.”

She laughed. “I know,” she said. “And that’s good enough for me.”

“So...,” said Orlando said yet again. “Who’s the lucky guy?”

“What?” Keira asked.

“You said you thought you were in love with someone else,” Orlando grinned. “I wanna know who they are!”

Keira smiled. “Well, his smile lights up the room. His eyes are always full of laughter. His laugh itself is music to my ears. And, for now, he will remain nameless.”

“Keir!” Orlando whined, sounding like a toddler. “Tell me!”

“No!” she said, folding her arms. She wasn’t ready to tell him what she truly felt about him. Not yet.

Chapter 3- Wannabe


After being on the plane for six hours, it finally landed at their destination.

Jack was considerably happier, having gotten six more hours of “beauty sleep.” Johnny had decided to forgive Jack for kicking him off the couch after seeing his attitude adjustment. In other words, Jack and Johnny were really seven-year-olds trapped in the bodies of grown men.

Gore gave them their room assignments. Keira was excited to find that she had been given her own room.

“Lucky!” Orlando moaned, glancing at Keira’s assignment over her shoulder. “I’ve got to bunk with---“

“Orlando, my homie!” Johnny said, coming up behind them. “Look’s like we’re roomies!”

“Johnny,” Orlando finished, rolling his eyes.

Keira slapped Orlando playfully on the arm. “Be nice!”

“Yeah, be nice!” echoed Johnny, punching him hard on the same arm.

“Ow!” said Orlando, rubbing his arm. “Damn, Johnny!”

“I know,” Johnny said, inspecting his fingernails. “I get that a lot.”

Orlando rolled his eyes again, and Keira giggled. Jack ambled over.

“Who are you roomed with?” he asked as a general question. Orlando and Johnny pointed to each other. Keira looked smug and said, “No one.”

“I get to room with The Badger,” Jack said, his tone oiled with false enthusiasm. “The Badger” was Kevin McNally’s nickname that had stuck with him since the first Pirates movie.

“Hey, Badger isn’t that bad!” Johnny said.

“Trade ya,” Orlando offered Keira.

“What, I get stuck with Johnny, and you get my room? Are you kidding?”

“No, Keir, I meant you for Johnny,” Orlando explained.

“Oh,” Keira said, blushing. “Well, if it’s alright with Johnny---“

“No trades!” Jack piped in.

“We’ll just have to see what says about that, now won’t we?” Orlando asked, a mischievous gleam in his eye.

“See what I have to say on what?” Gore Verbinski asked, emerging from behind them.

“Keira wants to room with me instead of Johnny, giving Johnny his own room,” Orlando explained.

“No way, uh-uh, no!” Gore shook his head.

“Oh come on!” begged Orlando. “Why not?”

“Why not, Bloom?” Gore questioned back. “Don’t play dumb! I know what kids these days are up to in hotel rooms! Alone! Unsupervised!”

“And what’s that, Gore?” Orlando raised one eyebrow.

“Well... er... umm... don’t play coy with me, Bloom!” Gore stuttered. “Just know that I’m on the down low! And I’m watching you!” He did the I’m-watching-you sign, with the two fingers going back and forth from his eyes to Orlando’s. “You and Depp are roomies and Knightley has her own room! And that’s final!” He stomped away, fuming.

As soon as he was gone, Keira and Orlando burst into laughter. Johnny draped an arm around Orlando’s shoulder.

“Looks like your stuck with me, mate!” he grinned.

Lee came over, a wide grin on his face. “Party tonight. Ballroom on the second floor. It’s gonna be hoppin’.”

Keira laughed. “I’m in!”

“Me too!” said Orlando.

“What’s a party without Johnny Depp?” Johnny asked. Silence followed his remark. “Okay, so you’re all too shy to say it. That’s okay, I know you’re thinking it so I’ll say it: NOTHING! I’m so there, it burns like IcyHot."

Jack snickered. “IcyHot!” he muttered, “That’s a good one!” He looked up and realized everyone was watching him. He cleared his throat. “Er... I’ll be there too. To keep an eye on Johnny. Who has a girlfriend. And who has kids with that girlfriend.”

Johnny looked at him incredulously. “Point?”

Keira shook her head. “Well, I’m gonna go unpack. See you boys later!”

As she left, Jack told Johnny just loud enough for everyone within hearing distance to hear, “You are sick you know that? Sick! Isn’t he sick, Or? Or!”

Orlando wasn’t paying any attention. He was studying Keira’s retreating back intently, wondering what was going on with him. She was his friend. His best friend even. What was happening to him?

Jack shook his head. He could read Orlando’s emotions like an open book.

Johnny leaned over and whispered in Jack’s ear, “Told you they was lovesick. How ’bout we make this interesting?”

Jack raised his eyebrows. “A bet?” he asked, already knowing the answer.

“A bet,” Johnny confirmed, a devilish smile forming on his lips.

Chapter 4- I’m Happy Just To Dance With You

“Knock, knock!” Orlando called from outside Keira’s hotel room door. “Your escort has arrived!”

Keira poked her head out. “Since when do I get an escort?” she asked teasingly.

“Since you and Naomie are the only girls,” he grinned. “Johnny’s Naomie’s official escort. I said I was up to the challenge of being yours.”

She stuck her tongue out at him. “Well, let me put some finishing touches on my makeup, and then I’ll be right out,” she told him. “I promise I won’t be long.”


......................*......................


“So what, exactly, am I betting on?” Naomie asked Johnny as they walked down the hallway.

“When young Orlando and Keira will, to use an overused term frequently used by the youth of America, ‘hook up’,” Johnny explained.

“Oh, that’s easy!” Naomie said, a mischievous glint in her eye. “Two weeks and a day from now.”

“The day we head back?” Johnny asked. She nodded. “Sucker,” he added under his breath as he collected her money.

They walked into the ballroom, Naomie on Johnny’s arm. Johnny looked around. Keira and Orlando were nowhere in sight.

Lee and Mackenzie approached them, failing in their attempts to look casual.

“May I help you?” Johnny inquired.

“We hear you have a little bet going on as to when the two lovebirds will get together officially,” Mackenzie said in a rushed voice. “And we want in.”

Johnny smiled. “Well then, gentlemen, place your bets. Almost everything’s open.”

“One month,” Lee decided after a few seconds of thought.

Johnny grimaced. “Except for that one. That would be my bet.”

“Month and a half,” Lee tried again.

Johnny grimaced again. “Jack’s,” he said weakly.

“Two months?”

Johnny smiled. “That can be arranged.” He took out a pad and paper and a pen from his pants pocket. Next to his and Jack’s names and bets, he wrote:

Naomie: 2 weeks & 1 day
Lee: 2 months

“You?” he asked Mackenzie.

Mackenzie pondered for a moment. “Three weeks,” he finally said.

Johnny added in his notebook under Lee’s name and bet:

Mackenzie: 3 weeks

“Whatcha doin’?” Orlando asked, coming up from behind them with Keira on his arm.

“Nothing,” Johnny said hastily, shoving the pad of paper and pen back into his pocket.

“You aren’t selling drugs again, are you Johnny?” Orlando teased.

Johnny sighed. “That was one time. I was eighteen, stupid, and desperate for money.”


Orlando and Keira were doubled over with laughter, gasping for breath.

Johnny rolled his eyes. He turned to Naomie and offered her his hand. “May I have this dance?” he asked.

“Certainly,” Naomie replied, taking his outstretched hand. They headed out to the middle of the dance floor.

“May I have this dance?” Lee asked Mackenzie, mimicking Johnny.

Mackenzie stared blankly at him. I don’t swing that way, mate,” he said bluntly.

Lee rolled his eyes. “As friends, you idiot!” he said.

Mackenzie’s expression brightened. “Oh, alright then!” he exclaimed, grabbing Lee’s arm and pulling him over to where Johnny and Naomie were dancing rather exuberantly. Johnny nearly knocked Mackenzie in the head as they approached.

Orlando and Keira finally caught their breath.

“Wanna dance?” he asked Keira breathlessly.

“Lemme think about that...” she pretended to ponder the question. “Hell yeah!”

He grabbed her hand and led her onto the dance floor.

Seeing them, Jack went over to the DJ. He whispered something, and the DJ nodded. The beats of Lil Jon faded and were replaced by the vocals of Kelly Clarkson.

What if I told you
It was all meant to be

The floor cleared, leaving only Keira and Orlando.

Keira laughed nervously. “I feel like we’re on display!”

Would you believe me?
Would you agree?

“Guess we should dance then,” Orlando said, putting his hands around her waist and drawing her closer.

Keira put her arms around his neck. They swayed in time to the music, trying to figure out how they felt at that very moment.

A moment like this
Oh, I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment
Like this

Jack went over and sat down in the empty chair next to Johnny.

“Well done, mate,” Johnny said, giving Jack a high-five. They watched in Keira and Orlando in silence for a moment.

Just then, Gore walked by their table.

“Hey Gore!” Johnny yelled. Gore stopped and came back.

“Yes?” he asked.

Johnny’s eyes glinted with mischief. “Want in on a little bet?”
