Quasi sat on a bench in the shadow of a huge palm three, watching the tourists go by. Mostly kids and teenagers with plastic swords and full pirate attires. He`d just been looking in one of those souvernir shops himself. It didn`t seem to be and end of what you could make into being pirate like, he grinned humorously to himself. His grin got even bigger as he thought about what Captain Teague would`ve said if he to had been raiding the shops, and come along in full pirate costume from top to bottom. Well, he`d been pretty close to buy one of those hats that looked like his son jack`s..

Captain Teague Sparrow walked quickly through the theme park followed by a swarm of tourists that waved money at him and tried his patience with their non-stop questioning. In the end, he bristled.
"€$£@&%*!!! I be havin' already told ye I be a REAL gentleman o' fortune!!! I dasn't e'en WORK in this blasted park. An' fer th' chestfull o' time: ME HAT BE NAY FER SALE!!! Ya scallywag who ortin' t' be keel hauled!"
One of the tourists were foolish enough to try his patience by waving his plastic sword against him. Captain Teague unsheathed his sword and chopped the plastic sword in two halfs with one swift blow.
"Ye be seein'? I TOLD ye me outf'tis real!! An' I be havin' REAL cannons too? Ere ELSE who`s got questions?"
The crowd backed away from him, and Captain Teague continued his walk, muttering to himself.
"These crazy darned tourists ortin' ta be locked up in Davy Jones` locker!"

(XDDDD ;D )
Quasi suddenly heard shouting nearby, something about a hat that weren`t for sale... A few minutes later he spotted a familiar pirate lord trotting down the street muttering under his breath, with a tail of fans of all ages in his heels.
If Quasi had bought one of those plastic swords as well, he would`ve hid it behind his back by now.. Luckily he hadn`t.
The irony hit him, there was the great lord all pirates, and what more, who defeats the undefeatable Spanish armada with his eyes closed. But a group of fankids were seemingly too much for the old captain. He chuckled quietly to himself as he waved hello.
( me: to teague.. lovely kids aren`t they?)

Finally getting rid of all the fans, Captain Teague Sparrow went into the shadows to get some fresh air, and maybe something cold to drink. Now he REALLY needed a bottle of rum. He pulled out a bottle from his coat pocket, after watching if there were any pink elephants nearby. ((Hi Lumpy! ;D )) Then he took a sip of his rum.
He noticed Quasimodo nearby and came over to him to talk.
"Ahoy Quasi! `Tis horribly crowded here today, t'ain't 't? How be ye, me hearty? Be ye gettin' o'er yer girl problems yet?"
( Teague: Takes out his gun and aims at the kids: Lovely targets, you mean! ;D )

Quasi smiled warmly as the old pirate came over, as usual with the standard bottle of rum all pirates seemed to have at al times. Well, it`s nothing more than usual, he stated, at the captain`s comment about how crowdy it was. Getting over.. no.. not exactly, he replied to his question about girl trouble. Like he would ever get over Esmeralda. But i`m fine, he shrugged it off. He suddenly got back a glimpse of humor in his eyes. You seem to have quite the fanclub. He commented teasingly.

Captain Teague Sparrow took another chunck of his rum, before offering a bottle of rum to Quasimodo.
"Here boy, be havin' a drink o' this. 't tastes bad, but will help ye forget about lasses. Without this, I couldna ben wi' me buxom beauty fer as long as I be havin'. B'lieve me: T' forget about Ethel, ye BE HAVIN' t' drink!!"
He chuckled with laughter and looked over at Quasi again.
"Ye`re still broodin' about th' gypsy girl, aren`t ye? How be she, by th' way? I haven`t seen th' lass' since th' tide she got married t' th' lass' beloved lion, Kovu. Be they still happy?"

Hesitantly Quasi took the bottle offered to him. He weren`t too fond of it to put it that way, but still, hanging out with pirates, you`re doomed to pick up a thing or two. He took a small zip, trying to keep his true opinion out of his face. I can imagine, he said chuckling, at Teague`s tale about his wife. So she`s still around? he questioned, It haven`t been often i`ve happened to actually see her, he commented, still wide a wide grin on his face. Hearing her, however weren`t that difficult.
Quasi became serious again as the captain asked him about Esmeralda and Kovu.
Actually Kovu`s old love showed up to make trouble. He spoke lowly, remembering the lioness effective efforts to split them up. She obviously weren`t too happy with the arrangement.

Captain Teague chuckled with laughter when he noticed Quasi trying to force himself drinking rum. He looked teasingly over at him.
"Ye know, Quasi, when I want t' stay sober, I only make like t' be drinkin' rum. Did ye know that if ye put apple cider in a keg o' rum, most shipmates will swear 'tis rum ye`re drinkin'? I be havin' pulled that trick a lot o' times."
When Mrs. Sparrow heard Quasi's voice, she put on her most flirtatious smile and bounced up and down in Teague's belt.
"HI QUASI!!!" She said in her unusually shrill voice. "HOW ARE YOU TODAY??? DO YOU JOIN US FOR DINNER TODAY??"
Captain Teague hushed his wife friendly and listened to Quasi telling about Esmeralda and Kovu's problems. He shook his head.
"Aye, old loves can be a problem sometimes. Hell hath nay fury like a lass scorned, an' so on. So - ye say she managed t' break them up? Darn shame, I think they sailed' so well together, an' they really seemed t' love each other. I will be havin' t' speak t' Kovu th' next time we meet. Maybe thar`s some advice I can give th' lad's."
He looked over at Quasi again.
"I suppose thar`s nay need t' ask if ye tried t' make a move on th' lass' when he left? Frankly - I dasn't be seein' ye as a Don Juan. Ye be way too shy."

Quasi had tried to not let his disgust show, as he drank the bitter tasting rum. Obviously his efforts weren`t quite succeeding, he realized, as he noticed the humor in Teague`s expression. However, he soon learned the captain had a solution even for this. Apple cider... not a bad idea really.
(rp`er`s note: i already imagine Quasi on his next sailing with the pirates..)
He looked down as Mrs Sparrow`s voice broke in, and spotted the shrunken head bounce in eagerness, and smiling her rather special smile. Hi again, Ethel, he smiled warmly back at her. Sure, if that`s all right, he replied to her question about dinner. He didn`t have any other plans after all.
Quasi smiled sadly as his thoughts returned to the end of his best friends` love story.
He raised an eyebrow in surprise, and maybe a slight bit of confusion, at Teague`s next question. No..i mean.. how.. why should that work? he smiled shamefully, lowering his head a slight degree. How should Esmeralda ever fall in love with him? No that train had gone, if it ever had been there. He silently agreed in the captain`s statement of him not being much of a Don Juan. For a different reason, however.

((Yup: He and Teague can drink the other pirates under the table ;D ))
Captain Teague Sparropw smiled when he looked over at the young man with the sad eyes. He had no idea why the girls couldn't see the gentle soul this boy had. Mrs Sparrow's face expression told him that she agreed with him. Her motherly feelings were already kicking in, and he was glad to hear her inviting the boy for dinner.
Mrs. Sparrow smiled to the young man. He was the only man, except from Teague, that accepted her the way she was. Sure, Esmeralda, Nani and Poca accepted her too, but they were girls. Mrs. Sparrows girls, since she loved them like her own daughters. But now it was this sad young man in front of her, that needed some motherly care. She gave him her most charming smile.
"Of course that's all right, Quasi. You're always welcome aboard The Misty Lady. When ever you need it."
Captain Teague Sparrow smiled and placed his hand comforting on Quasi's shoulder.
"Chin up, me boy. If one fish slips away from ye, thar`s always room t' catch th' next fish. One o' these days a girl will fall fer ye. Why wouldna they?"
Lady Tremaine looked up at her husband and smiled encouraging, and he knew what that smile meant. He sat down on a bench and placed Mrs. Sparrow beside him. Then he picked up his trusty guitar and started playing on it, while Mrs. Sparrow sang with her shrill voice.
A Guy Like You (From HoND)
Mrs. Sparrow: Paris, the city of lovers Is glowing this evening True, that's because it's on fire But still, there's "l'amour" Somewhere out there in the night Her Heart is also alight And I know the guy she just might Be burning for

Quasi lit up in a small smile, touched by the way the two Sparrows tried to cheer him up. Even through he weren`t much convinced by Teague`s assuring that he would find a girl someday, he were glad to ave friends like these two.
He raised an eyebrow as the captain found his guitar, what were they up to now?
Surprised he pretty soon found the song they were singing mysteriously familiar. But there was no way they could know that song, was it? He couldn`t hide his happy smile at the memories of his dear childhood friends. The only one to keep him company, and even give him a hint of hope during those dark years.
What..? How do you know that song? he questioned as they finished the song. That just couldn`t be possible

Captain Sparrow chuckled with laughter while he put away his guitar, and Mrs. Sparrow smile openly to Quasimodo.
"Chin up, boy!" She smiled and looked up at him with her most charming grin, the one that could give crocodiles nightmares.
"One of these days a girl will see you for your charming insides. Heck, if I weren't married to old codface over there, I'd date you myself!!!"
Captain Teague raised his eyebrow, chuckling with laughter.
"Oh, by all means Ethel. I be havin' tried t' get rid o' ye fer voyages now, without succeedin'. Perhaps now be me chance.... Quasi, ye can be havin' th' lass' if ye want her - but promise me ye won`t return her!"
Mrs. Sparrow turned to her husband with a broad grin.
"Oh, you!" She chuckled. "You're just jealous because you don't have my charm. Just for that, I'll be more than happy to date Quasi if he wants to. But before we leave, there's something I think you should teach him."
Captain Teague Sparrow watched his wife curiously. Her eyes darted to his sword, and he smiled in understanding and turned to Quasi again.
"Ah aye. If ye`re datin' me buxom beauty, I guess someone might try t' tease ye fer 't - since thar be many prettier lasses around. So ye ortin' ta learn t' defend yersef. Be havin' ye erelearned t' use a cutlass, boy?"
When Quasimodo asked about where they had learned the song they just sung for him, Mrs. Sparrow beamed with joy.
"Oh, when Teague and I were young, we went to Paris for a honeymoon. This was years before I lost weight - not to mention the rest of my body. We went to Notre Dame, and there, on the roof, we met three gargoyles. I found them most charming. Especially Laverne. They were very friendly to us, probably because Captain Teague had just kicked the butt of a man named Frollo for beating up a boy with a minor handicap...."
She paused for a minute, then looked at Quasi again.
"That boy... it wouldn't be you, by any means? Or do I remember wrong?"

Quasi smiled weakly as Mrs sparrow praised his "charming inside," knowing that just weren`t enough. The girls didn`t actually chase him down the streets did they? He raised his eyebrow as she got the idea of dating him herself. He chuckled slightly as Teague didn`t seem to mind at all. Actually the old pirate sounded like it couldn`t happen quick enough.
Quasi pondered for a moment, sure it were more than a bit unusual to date a head without a body.. Still, he`d taken a liking for Mrs sparrow pretty quick the first time they met, and found her company rather amusing. Well.. sure.. he replied, watching their friendly arguing.
He blinked at Teague`s next question, Well, no.. not exactly, he replied awkwardly. Was it just him, or did he just offer sword fighting lessons? Before he knew it he would fully be a pirate himself, he thought humorously.
Quasi listened with increasing surprise to their tale about their trip to Paris. Wait.. you actually talked to the gargoyles? As far as he knew the trio had only shown themselves to him, to anyone else they just appeared as cold and lifeless as any other stone. His chock didn`t wear off at the mention of what they`d done to Frollo.
he scratched his head, as everything seemed to click. It.. well.. yeah, he stuttered as a reply to the question. He actually remembered that incident vaguely, Weeks after that he`d wished he could`ve joined them as they left. However the memory had slowly faded as years passed and they never returned.

Captain Teague Sparrow watched the face expression of Quasimodo when Mrs. Sparrow mentioned the dating. He leaned in to Quasimodo and whispered.
"Ye know, me hearty, 't really canna happen quick enough. Do ye know how many times I be havin' tried t' go fishin', an' got me happy hours destroyed on accoun' o' o' that shrill voice o' hers? Ye go date th' lass', boy, an' I`ll owe ye a big favor. How about me teachin' ye how t' use weapons, huh?"
Mrs. Sparrow snorted at her husband.
"Fishing, fishing, fishing. That's the only thing on his mind. Other men take to gambling, girls or strong drinks. Teague - he has his books, his guitar and his fishing. Is it strange a wife can get bored?"
Mrs. Sparrow grinned broadly when Quasi mentioned the gargoyles.
"Oh, the gargoyles!!! They were soooooooo adorable. Victor and Hugo almost got into a fight about who was most successful in flirting with me - and Laverne was simply divine!!! I would love to see her again!!"
When Quasi confirmed that he indeed was the little boy they had seen a short while in Paris all those years ago, Teague and Mrs. Sparrow looked at each other. Mrs. Sparrow looked warmly up at Quasi with a heartfelt smile.
"You were a beautiful boy, Quasi. As a grown man - you are irrestistable. I am surprised the girls are not drowning you in kisses already. I am sorry we didn't take you with us when we met. But then again - you would never have met Esmeralda - and she would have been killed by Frollo. So maybe it was a meaning with all this after all."

Quasi chuckled with humor at the mention of Mrs sparrow destroying her husbands fishing. Even though he hadn`t yet seen it himself, he`d heard the rumors of her affect on fishes and other creatures. Sure, why not? he replied to Teagues offer. I take that would come useful next time you drag me into that ship of yours, to invite your Spanish friends, he joked, thinking of that day mentioned Spanish "friends" had stopped by shortly after Quasi`s own arrival.
Quasi listened with a glimpse of humor, to Mrs sparrow`s rambling about the gargoyles. That`s definitely sounds like them, he grinned, remembering how those two ALWAYS used to fight over something. And off course Laverne`s grandmotherly efforts of diplomacy between the two. Well, so would i, he agreed to the end of her tale, he`d missed their company more than once after he`s arrived here. But he knew he probably never would be able to get back, and besides, going back would mean to leave the family he`d got here..
Quasi blushed slightly at Ethel`s compliments, however not quite as surprised as her, over his low popularity amongst the girls. He smiled reassuringly at her apologize over not taking him with them. To be completely honest the memories had became rather foggy over the years, and after all they had been reunited at last.. hadn`t they? Yeah, they say there`s a meaning with everything, he smiled, glad he`d been able to save Esmeralda.
