Chapter 1
I just about melted when I looked into his eyes. I was in the arms of Joe Jonas! Then I realized why I was in his arms in the first place. My face went completely red and I quickly jumped out of his arms, almost falling again in the process.
“So, do you fall a lot then?” Joe asked, laughing. I smiled and let out a nervous laugh. I couldn’t think of anything smart or witty to say back. I bet I looked pretty stupid.
“So anyway,” Joe said, getting all excited, “I am SO excited to see this movie. I am like a pirates freak. From the trailer, your character looks pretty awesome.” He smiled.
“Heh, thanks. I haven’t seen the finished movie either. I’m just as excited as you are,” I said. And awkward silence followed. Awkward silences pretty much define my life.
“…Awkward,” I said, quoting Joe from their youtube channel. Joe looked up and gave me a big smile.
“Well I better go find Nick and Kevin. I’ll talk to you after the movie or something,” Joe said, and gave me a quick hug. He smelled really, really good.
“It was nice meeting you!” Joe said, and began to walk off.
"It was nice meeting you too,” I said, still in shock. So I just stood there where I was, with a blank look on my face. Then I realized where I was, and that camera’s were snapping off at me. Crap. I quickly pasted a smile on my face and posed for a couple pictures. I really bad at posing for pictures just so you know. I always look like an awkward mess. But I try.
“Emelia!” I heard someone call my name. I looked over and saw Geoffrey Rush waving me over. (for those of you who aren’t crazy potc fanatics, Geoffrey Rush plays Barbossa) I waved back and walked over, careful not to trip this time.
I talked to Geoffrey for a little while about nothing in particular. He asked me how I was and stuff like that. He told me that he was also excited to see the movie because he hadn’t seen the final cut either. Not many people had.
Then I said goodbye to him and talked to a few other members of the Pirates’ cast. I went over to talk to Freddie Highmore, Mary Sparrow’s love interest…sort of (there was no kissing scene, thank goodness. I don’t think I could ever like Freddie that way).
“Hey Freddie!” I said walking over to him.
“Hey Emelia!” He said, and gave me a hug. He held on a little longer than he should have.
“So how are you on this fine day?” He said, in his cute little British accent.
“I’m very good, thank you. And yourself?” I said, imitating his accent. He laughed.
“I’m great. You look beautiful by the way, Emelia,” He said. I blushed. He was making me kind of uncomfortable.
“Erm, thanks,” I said, and smiled weakly. We talked for a little while and took a few pictures holding hands…as friends of course.
We then said our goodbyes and Freddie gave me another hug.
“I’ll see you inside! I’m pretty sure that our seats our next to each other,” Freddie said, winking.
“Oh really? That’s nice! I’ll see you inside!” I said, not excited at all.
I then looked around, trying to find Johnny, but he was nowhere in sight. I stood on my tippy-toes and tried looking through the crowd to see if I could see his signature fedora, but sadly, I couldn’t. I sighed and decided to go and give some more autographs.
So I but a big smile on my face and walked back over to the fans. I talked to a few of them, and they immediately made feel so much calmer, because I was talking to normal people, not rich, famous, judging celebrities. Well, Joe wasn’t like that, but because of the whole falling thing, it wasn’t a very comfortable conversation.
I signed a bunch of autographs, the same way I did before, with my random little sayings on each one. I just kept going down the line until my arm brushed up against someone next to me. I quickly apologized and looked over to see who it was.
“So we meet again!” Joe said, in a deep Darth Vader voice. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yep,” I said, “So did you find Nick and Kevin?” I asked, in my ‘look at me I’m an awkward little shy girl with a high pitched voice’ voice. It’s not even my real voice, but when I’m talking to people who I don’t really know, I can’t get out of that voice no matter how hard a try.
“Ha no I can’t,” Joe said, turning from his fans, giving me his full attention. I couldn’t help but notice how good he looked, with his button down shirt, fitted suit, and a scarf…even though we were in Disney World. And the tight pants of course.
“Did you try calling them?” I asked.
“Well, to tell you the truth,” he said, and lowered his voice, “my pants are kind of too tight and I can’t fit my phone in the pockets.” I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t and I started laughing. He looked a little embarrassed at first too but then he started laughing as well.
“Well here, you can use mine,” I said, and pulled my cell phone out of my clutch. I really didn’t want to bring a clutch at first, but Mrs. Depp told me that I had too. It’s just what celebrities did. I protested, but in the end, I brought one, and it actually came in handy.
“Thanks so much!” Joe said, and took my phone, and quickly dialed a number.
“Hey Kevin!” Joe said, “Where are you and Nick? … Over by the theater entrance? Okay, I’ll be there. Bye.” Joe said, and hung up.
“Hey! Do you want to meet the rest of the band?” Joe said, as he handed me my phone back.
“OMJ I’D LOVE TO!” I squealed. He looked at me for a second and started laughing.
“Come on then! Let’s goooooooooooo!” Joe said, as he grabbed my hand and started skipping off towards the theater.
Here is the dress that Emelia wore:
