Summary: Jack finds his one true love... in an unexpected place...
Disclaimer: Don't own anything... wish I did...
Captain Jack Sparrow slowly opened his eyes and was immediately blinded by the bright morning light streaming in through the open window. With a groan, the pirate quickly rolled over and found himself lying next to a peacefully sleeping, completely naked, woman. Jack had to think for a few minutes to remember that his ship had docked in Tortuga and that this was a perfectly natural situation to awaken to after a long night of drinking and partying.
As quietly as he could, so as not to awaken the sleeping lass and perhaps invoke her wrath, Jack scoured the room for his clothes and other affects. Not more than ten minutes later, he found himself sauntering down the street towards the docks. In a way, he felt almost sorry for the woman, waking up to an empty bed. He took one last glance back at the building he had recently exited and then mumbled, "Trust me luv, it's much better this way... for the both of us..."
He then turned and continued his strange gait down the path, humming a familiar tune under his breath. The humming stopped and was replaced with a wide grin as the captain finally reached his destination. He quickly staggered up the gangplank and boarded his ship. When he took his first step onto the deck, the ship suddenly lurched to the side and, in his half-drunken state, Jack found himself lying face first on the aforementioned deck.
He slowly sat up and said, "Ay luv, dun take it so pers'nally. I always come back to ya." And to emphasize this statement, he gave the deck a little pat and then proceeded to stagger and sway towards his cabin. After downing half a bottle of rum, Jack laid down on his bed. As he began to fall asleep, he realized how peaceful he felt.
No matter how many beautiful women he made love to, his heart would always belong to another: his one and only true love, his life, his freedom... the Black Pearl.
AN: This was just a little idea I had after reading too many stories where everyone tries to find a woman for Jack. 'Tis a little sappy... but I hope Jack's in character... Let me know what you think!
