Hello. You know I don't own the POTC characters, why must I type it?

Her glazed eyes stared out the window, the rain washing over the panes. She wanted to get back to her book oh-so badly, but her father wouldn't let her read it nor leave dinner early. The Commodore was a guest that night, along with a few other naval Captains. The dinner was roast duck, with a side of turtle soup. Mixed greens sat to the right of the table, a gashing hole was left in the middle of them were you could see the bottom of the bowl. Seemed people liked the salad. Various fruits were assorted in a bowl at the other end of the table, some which she had picked herself. She had always enjoyed the orchard; it gave her a sense of freedom, just her and rows of fruits, going for acres and acres. The commodore was telling some sea story, while the captains murmured grunts of approval. Everyone but her was completely enthralled, until the commodore mentioned one word. 'Pirates'. Her attention was instantly focused on the commodore, her gaze unwavering as it willed more words out of him.

"Then of course they went right for the rudder, which we expected. Our men were all lined up, waiting for them. They drew their cutlasses, and the pirates instantly surrendered." The Commodore finished.

"Sir, sir, no, that's not how I remember it occurring…" A captain, who was relatively short, piped up. Her attention was now drawn to the captain. He let our a small chuckle.

"You want to hear the version that I remember, Alexandra?" He asked. She nodded, and took a quick glance to the commodore, who hung his flushed cheeks. Alexandra turned her head back to the Captain and smiled. He smiled back.

"Of course, then. Well, they did head for the rudder, but not all of them. It seems that some of the pirates stayed on their ship without our knowledge. We thought that the ones in the rudder were the only ones on the ship. Some of our men ran to the deck when they heard some scuffling. Soon the rest in the bowels of the ship were summoned up. When they arrived at the deck, there were only pirates and dead bodies. The look on those scoundrel's faces, it was one of the worst I've ever seen, it was one of pure pride and joy of murdering honest sailors and men serving the great king. As the last officer fell to the ground, the captain of the pirates stepped off of their ship. 'Oi, lads, what did you do to these men? Did I not tell you to tie them up? Tying and up and killing are very different, I'm afraid.' He had said, although he didn't seem to mind much. Of course the Commodore and myself were tied to the mainmast. We instantly recognized the captain, it was Jack Sparrow, once again, and just inches from our grasp. His smile taunted us as he shook the commodores hair and said 'Pleasure to do business with you both, now, however, we must be off'. After that the pirates took all of our provisions and valuables, waving to us as they left the battle scene. The commodore and I managed to find a way out of the ropes and direct the ship back here." The captain finished. Alexandra's mouth was about to drop open. That pirate, he sounded so fearless and wonderful. That Jack Sparrow he had spoken of. Oh yes, she was certain she had read of him before. He was said to be the most fearless, not to mention the best, pirate in all of the Caribbean, and the Atlantic as well! It was also told by many women, in whispers, of course, that was unbearably good looking.

Alexandra's father soon sent her up to her room for the night, and finally she could read. Alone with her book, reading by the candlelight, she read her books about the great pirate 'Captain Kidd', who had changed from a Privateer to a pirate. He was undeniably interesting, but her thoughts continually wandered back to the certain Jack Sparrow. Oh how she wanted to come here and take her away, take her away from the dinner banquets and dancing parties. Oh how she would love to have him take her away from this life, forever.
