Ok so this is the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean book I've ever submitted to Fanfiction but it's actually the 1st I've ever written… .A.

So… I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

And, sorry if the prologue is kind of short. It's just an idea of how things start.

Please enjoy and review if you'd like!

Prologue

Jack Sparrow slowly watched through the rough bracken at the large parking lot in front of him. In his thoughts, he thought this place was absolutely absurd, but millions of people were taking school here at the Port Royal Academy. And there was only one reason for that. A sly smirk slowly spread across his face but quickly vanished as he heard loud scuffling behind him, causing him to sigh. Turning he faced his clumsy first mate Gibbs. "Aye Jack! These here thorns are nothing but trouble!" Managing another sigh, he shifted into place to stare at him. "Mate… These here thorns… Are only thorns. Nothing more but troubling plants. But this-" He pointed at the large building ahead. "There be a reward for entering in that school." "Aye!" Gibbs replied, smiling quite rapidly. "I hear that if you stay in the academy for at least a year, you'll get the reward of 10,000 shekels. They also say it's the longest school to go through so that's why they offer the award right?" Jack nodded but said nothing more. He usually thought at times that his first mate was rather… Annoying. Then there was the sudden sound of footsteps. "Shh! I think someone's located us!" Gibbs spat in a whispery tone. "Aye!" Jack answered. "We should probably escape while we have the chance." Clambering out of the bush they headed up the sidewalk slowly since there wasn't much bushes or trees to hide behind in the cobblestoned lot. Both Gibbs and Jack abruptly stopped in their tracks at the voice of a female lady. "You two boys!" The lady sounded, with a strong slice of country in her harsh accent."You better not be runnin off you two! I'd better tell the principal on you." Gibbs was terrified while Jack was entranced. He loved the way this new prissy girl talked. "Look we-" He began as he turned to face her, but was struck in the face by her hand. "Hate it when that happens." Gibbs only chuckled slightly then stepped forward. "You see ma'am. We don't exactly go to this Academy and well…" "Well what?" She flashed at him. "Well we…" He turned to Jack but he only gave a startled look, then answered. "Go on." "Well… I um…" The lady raised an eyebrow. "You have nothing do ya honey?" "Eh well… No." "Thought so." Yanking out a silver whistle she blew the darn thing until a few royal marines had surrounded them.

Sighing Jack turned to face one of them. "Mind if I come through mate?" They only held his gaze. But within moments the commodore was pushing his way through the crowd. "Evening gentlemen. Welcome to Port Royal Academy." Jack's jaw dropped open while Gibbs stared in shock. "James?... J-James Norrington?!"

The commodore managed a smile before the lady slowly made her way to his side. "Meet your new principle boys."

This angered Jack very much. "Whoa whoa whoa. I just, I just need to think about something. He's the principle? Ok forget that. Maybe he is or whatever, but our principle?" James only continued smiling wildly and Jack even thought that within moments it'd burst from his own face. "I have the right to hang you pirates from after all you've done… But I'm not gonna do that am I?" They only stared as he went on. "Well I'm pleased to say I'll be putting that behind me, and letting you join Port Royal Academy instead." Jack had already made his mind, but before he could even say 'no' the commodore finished with a rather harsh tone. "Good. Report here in the morning for your first day. You shall have your utensils, books, and proper manners." With a wink he turned to leave only to stop and add. "Oh and. Don't forget about the dress-code."

And with that he dismissed the marines as well as himself.

Left alone in the cobblestoned lot once more the lady came up and shoved a paper in both Jack, and Gibbs's faces. "Here's the supply list, along with the dress-code. Be here bright and early."
