Chapter 1; Fighter (By Christina Aguilera)

Characters; Shira, Diego and Gutt.

Genre: Angst.


Shira stood by the edge of the island in isolation, the wind and earth around her the only company she had. It was night-time, and as her usual settled pirate instincts, she was keeping watch over not her pirate team... But the herd.

And in that herd was Manny, his wife and daughter Ellie and Peaches, Sid and his Granny, and lastly... Diego. The one who changed her completely. He made her change view of the world. He made her see life through a clearer window then the previous one Gutt made her look through...

Gutt.

Even though she was no longer part of his crew for barely a whole day... she felt freedom...

And anguish.

The pain Gutt caused her to go through... the window she was forced to see through was foggy and unwelcoming... and she did everything she could to clean Gutt's by doing everything she had to make him happy and proud of her... he was the closest thing to a father... or maybe a brother she ever had...

Shira looked down at the water the brushed against her ankles. She didn't realize the tide was coming in a little bit. She growled down at the small waves as the salty suds somehow resolved into a shape of a pirate hat... and a monkey;


Shira *Speaking*:

After all you put me through...
You think I despise you...
But in the end, I wanna thank you...
'Cause you made me that much stronger-

Shira *Singing as she swipes at the water*:

Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up

*She side looked up to the night sky, having flashbacks on when she first joined Gutt's crew.*

'Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame

*Scene changes to her running through the woods, looking back as if Diego was chasing after her like once before.*

After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that
I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I want to say thank you-

*She jumped up across thick branches, slid under fallen trunks and jumped over some more.*

[Chorus]
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

*She stumbled and fell. Then suddenly saw herself lying on her side in pain. "You better be prepared for what awaits tomorrow if you fail Kitty." She heard Gutt's voice echo into the air.*

Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're goin' round playin', the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave

*She felt pride rain upon her at last. "You are officially my first mate Shira. Well done."

After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more,
It's over

*The final battle they had struck her as soon as she found Diego, Manny, and the others.*

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I want to say thank you.

*Diego opened one eye.*

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

*"Is everything okay Shira?" He asked.*

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

*Shira wanted to tell him how angry Gutt had made her fell... but it wasn't the right place to discuss.*

[Chorus]

You thought I would forget,
But I remember
'Cause I remember
I remember
You thought I would forget,
But I remember
'Cause I remember
I remember

*"Can we talk?" She asked quietly. Diego nodded and followed.*

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter...


Diego listened to Shira without interfering her. She slowly and calmly told him everything that she felt since leaving Gutt and the pirate crew... and how he has changed her.

"I never realized how hard a life of a pirate can be..." He said when she finished. Shira just smiled.

"Thanks for understanding." She said, before the two touched noses.

A true golden moment she wanted to remain in for eternity.
