Now on with the story.


It was a foggy night for the Pearl, and the wind was blowing Destiny's hair all over the place. It had been a year since they had left Port Royal.

" 15 men on the dead man's chest….."

Destiny looked down to see Gibbs drinking and singing. "Does he ever stop singing that song."

"Drink as the devil had done for the rest"
"I wonder what's taking Jack so long"
Then she head a bell. she looked up to see a flock of crows going by.

"wonder where their going in such a hurry"
She heard a thump on the deck.
She ran over to Gibbs. " Are you alright Mr. Gibbs?"

"Yeah I'm fine missy," he said getting up.

"Yeah," She said unconvinced.

"Why don't you go and see if you can spot Jack."

"Fine." She went over to the rail and took out her telescope. "Oh I see him Gibbs." And he's very close too. Really close," she said going closer. Did we get a new telescope, because it shows a real close up of what your looking at."

"Luv?" Destiny looked up from the telescope to see Jack in front of her.

"oh." "I guess I'm a Sparrow after all," She said still holding the telescope in place.

Jack gave a chuckle, and ruffled her hair.

"Not quite according to plan, Gibbs said giving the bone leg to Cotton.

"Complications arose, ensued, were overcome," Jack said walking to the helm.

"You got what you went in for, then," Destiny asked following Jack.

"Muhuh," Jack said waving the rolled up piece of cloth, and turning to meet all of the crew.

"Captain, I think the crew - meaning me, as well - were expecting something a bit more…" Gibbs hesitated.

"Shiny," Yelled Destiny.

"Yes, What with the Isla de Muerta going all pear-shapes, reclaimed by the sea and the treasure with it." Jack eyed the pirate in front of him. (he looks like he's from India.)

"And the Royal navy chasing us all over the Atlantic," Said the guy that looks like he's from India.

"And the hurricane," Marty said with the pirates agreeing with him.

"All in all, it seems some time since we did a speck of honest pirating," Gibbs said finishing.

"Shiny," Jack asked.

"Aye, shiny," Destiny said standing by that India guy.

"Is that how you're all feeling, then? Perhaps dear ol' Jack is not serving your best interests as Captain?"

" I didn't say that," Destiny said.

"Awk, walk the plank." Mr. Cotton put a hand over its beak.

Jack cocked his pistol. "What did the bird say."

"Do not blame the bird. Show us what is on that piece of cloth there." Everybody looked at the piece of cloth in Jacks hand. Then jack the undead monkey popped out of nowhere making the crew jump, and having Destiny scream at the top of her lungs.

Since Jack's pistol wasn't loaded he took another pirates pistol and shot Jack, the undead monkey. ( I wonder why Barbossa named him Jack, the monkey Jack)

"You know that do no good."

"It does me," Jack said.

Marty picked up the cloth and unrolled it. "It's a key."

"No, much more better." He ran over to him and took it from him and showed it to the other pirates, and Destiny. "It is a drawing of a key."

Destiny rolled her eyes. " What's so better about it?"

"You'll find out soon enough luv."

"Why do I feel so scared," she said more to herself.

"Gentlemen, what do keys do?" Destiny made a coughing noise. "And Destiny," Jack said

"Keys…."

"Unlock things," Destiny said. The pirate looked at her. "What?"

"And whatever this key unlocks, inside there's something valuable. So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks," Gibbs said sure of himself.

"No," Jack said. Gibbs looked confused. "We don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So, what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it."

"So were going after this key," Destiny said nodding her head.

"You're not making any sense at all luv." Destiny just stood there with her mouth hung open. "Close your mouth luv, it's very unattractive." She closed it quickly. "Any more questions?"

"So….do we have a heading," Marty said.

"Ah." He took out his compass. "A heading." Set sail in a….Jack's finger was going every where trying to figure out what way to go. "General"
Jack picked a random direction. "That way direction." The crew looked where he was pointing.

"Captain," Gibbs asked.

"Are you sure," Destiny asked.

"Come on. Snap to and make sail, you know how this works. Oi, oi." And with that he walked to his cabin. Destiny followed Gibbs and Marty to the side of the ship.

"I've notice lately, the Captain seem to be acting a bit strange." Gibbs and Destiny looked at him.
"er," as he shrugged.

"Setting sail without knowing his own heading, something's got Jack vexed. You mark my words, what bodes ill for Jack Sparrow, bodes ill for us all." Gibbs and Marty looked at Destiny.

"What?"

"Your father," Gibbs said.

"Your captain," and with that she left to Jack's cabin.
