CHAPTER 1: MEETING THE CREW

Captain Jack Sparrow stood in the crow's nest of the Pearl, a fierce amber glint in his eye, and a similarly colored liquid in the bottle he held in one hand.

It was an awesome sight to behold. Except that the Pearl was moored, and he had no crew. Yet.

"Um, Yoo-hoo!?" came a voice from the wharf. Jack swung around to see a fair few young women (and men) wearing strange clothes. Mostly blue tunics and white shirts, but one donned red white and grey.

He clambered down a rope gracefully to meet his new crew. He turned to Gibbs, who led the pack. "They're young, and foolish, and naive, and WHY IS THAT BLONDE ONE SWOONING?"

Jess struggled to keep Luki upright.

"He's speaking." Luki breathed

"Yes Luki" Jess replied, exasperated.

"To US!"

"YES Luki."

"Us, including ME!"

"Shut up Luki"

Jack decided to play along. He kissed Luki's hand and turned on his heel, striding up the gangway "You're all hired".

Luki practically started hyperventilating, and it took the efforts of Jess, Tayla, Simone and Jimmy to get her to walk in a straight line onto the deck.

Matt and Jimmy threw their new captain a dirty look as the girls (minus Jess, the only non-Jack obsessed one) began fawning over how hot they thought Jack was.

As the odd group got a feel for their new home, Jack pulled Gibbs to the side.

"Gibbs man! What in Gods name possessed you to hire them? None of 'em look like they've ever set sail in their life! An' besides, I thought ye said it was bad luck to have women aboard?" Jack angrily grumbled to his first mate.

"Aye, Jack that I did. But every other miscreant in the whole of Tortuga, was knocked out cold from the grog! There were none that were fit to sail for at least a week, and you know we don't have that long. Barbossa's already got a heady lead an-" Gibbs didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as Jack had held up a hand to silence him.

"Mr. Gibbs, need I remind you that we are in the presence of a new crew, none of which we have seen before, therefore there is no need to be spouting out my plans to every man and his wench savvy?"

"Aye Captain"

"Good man"

Luki had now composed herself and was now actively partaking in the discussion the girls had started on their amazingly handsome Captain. As they had put it.

"Oh my God, did you see him?" Simone asked for what must've been the hundredth time.

"I know, did you see his body? He is so much hotter in real life!' Tayla added.

The male section of their group were leaning against the railing of the ship in deep discussion about their girls, and said girls new fascination with the Captain.

"You know, this is pretty cool" Evan started "being in the Caribbean and everything, plus the girls seem a lot happier."

"Yea, but how did we get here?" asked Matt

"That's something I'd like to know as well." Frank added.

"Jimmy, what do you think?" Evan asked.

"What do I think? I think we need to watch out for the girls before they do something they're gonna regret. And I think we should talk about this later, when Sparrow or Gibbs aren't around." Jimmy said, turning and glaring at Jack and Gibbs, who were having a hushed conversation themselves.

"Now, I think it's best we go and introduce ourselves to our new crew, what say you?" Jack said turning to look at the group of people, probably no older than eighteen.

Without waiting for a reply, Jack strode over to where the group was standing together, seemingly having a heated argument.

"Simone! Would you listen to me? Sparrows up to something! Why would he sail with eight kids, who have never sailed in their life? Answer me that?" Jimmy was heatedly saying to the girl named Simone.

"I don't know! Alright! Maybe it's cause we were all that were there!" Simone replied.

"The guys all agree with me. I'm sure Taz and Jess do too!"

"And what about me?" Luki angrily added.

"Well, we know how obsessed you are so-"

"JIMMY! Just because I'm obsessed, doesn't mean I'm stupid! I may think Jack is extremely hot, and openly advertise my love for him, but that doesn't erase the fact that he's a pirate! I'm not a fool and I can make my own decisions. As can the rest of us." Luki angrily retorted.

Jack waggled his eyebrows and looked at Gibbs, pointing at himself. "See, legend, I am!" he whispered loudly, but not so that the group of teens could hear.

"Look, Luki we know you girls can look after yourselves. It's just, we aren't at home or school anymore. This is real, we've already come to terms with that, and we need to watch out for each other." Matt said trying to ease the tension between the two.

"All right guys we can continue this later" Jess said, seeing Jimmy about to retort. "No, guys stop. This is not the time nor the place" she added urgently.

Looking around they saw Jack standing nearby, pretending not to listen.

"Well that's interesting. That's very interesting indeed." Jack thought to himself.

Luki, still angry from earlier, turned her anger on Jack.

"Listen Sparrow, don't pretend to look oblivious to what ye just heard, it doesn't do ye any good. And don't ye go jumping to any conclusions cause ye don't know the whole of what we were talking about, savvy?"

"An who are you to be ordering me around, missy?" Jack said quietly, intrigued by her bravery.

"If ye don't take my advice Sparrow, I'll be ye worst nightmare, love or not."

Turning to her friends and rolling her eyes at their disbelieving expressions, she went and stood by Matt.

"So, I can assume by your reactions that she doesn't do that a lot" Jack asked the still shocked teens. Not sure whether what he said was a good or bad thing.

"N-no, she does that sometimes, we just never thought she'd do it to you," replied an amazed Jess. "She's obsess- OW!"

"Alright then…" Jack replied, now wary of the girl who was listening to the whisperings of the boy standing next to her.

"Now you whelps, I be your new Captain and you will address me as such." To this the girls started giggling, whilst the boys rolled their eyes.

"Now, you will all state your names, how you know each other, your sailing experience and… where your from."

At this last question, the group of teens looked at each other worriedly. Something not gong unnoticed by the Captain.

Which left one question, where were these whelps from?

"Um… well, I'm Jessica, but call me Jess or Jessa, none of us have ever sailed before, we are all friends who go to school together, except for me cause I changed schools." Jess relayed to Jack.

Jack looked at the group and surveyed them.

There were eight in total.

Jack got their names and learned there were three couples.

Luki and Matt, Simone and Jimmy and Tayla and Evan were all couples.

This left Frank and Jess, apparently they weren't a couple, but behaved more like brother and sister.

But the rest were coupled off.

None of them had ever sailed before, never used a sword or pistol. Yet none seemed to be of high class.

Well actually that wasn't true, all of them looked like they hadn't done an honest days pirating in their lives.

Then again, they probably hadn't.

Luki and Jimmy seemed to be the most capable of pirating. Their earlier display had proved that.

"All right then lads, and lasses" Jack added as an after thought after seeing the look sent to him by all four girls. "as none of you seemed to have ever sailed before, you'll have to learn as we go. We leave on the first tide tomorrow morning."

With that he left to his cabin, leaving the eight teenagers to ponder what tomorrow held for them.

"Well guys, I dunno about you but I'm exhausted. We can figure everything out later ok?" And with that Jess headed down to the crews quarters, and after a pause her muffled yell was heard "And we can get out of these bloody uniforms!!! I hate this stupid hat!! Argh! Die! Die! Die!"

The group exchanged looks as if "Oh, god, she's hyper".

"I'm with Jess. Night all!" Luki hugged all the guys goodnight and left after Jess, Simone and Tayla quickly following suit.

The guys all looked at each other, before following the girls.

"You know what's funny?" Luki asked the girls.

"What?"

"Just imagine our parents reactions if they knew we were all sleeping with the guys."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Oh get yer minds outta the bloody gutter you lot!" Luki said, upon realizing the double meaning of her sentence.

This just caused the group to laugh harder.

Luki: So how was that? Lame, stupid, awesome, cool, undecided?

Review and tell us so we can get the next chapter out sooner!

Jessa: Luki of course had the bright idea of me coupling off with Frank. Ew! Anyway, we have personality, wid a capital Y! Review, please!
