"Sir. I found this, belowdecks." Robbie said, handing Captain Barbossa the hat. The Captain grinned, and took it. He then turned to the crew, and yelled "Set course for Tortura, maties!" The crew broke out into cheers, and set about their work. Robbie smiled to himself. He couldn't wait to get to Tortura.

Robbie Kay had always longed to sail the seas, experience adventures. As a little boy, he'd played pirates with the other little boys, using sticks and other small things he had found as swords and as other weapons. The other boys had quickly outgrown it (after some very strict conversations with their parents), but Robbie didn't have ant parents. Well, he supposed he had had them once. But he had been abandoned as a baby. A pirate had found him, sobbing, wailing in the rain. He never learnt the pirate's name. He had been called to call him 'Pops'. Robbie was little, so grew up like that. He grew up like a pirate.

When he was twelve years old, Pops had been found out as a pirate. He had been hanged. Right before Robbie's very eyes. The day was as clear as crystal in his memory. Pops had been shoved to the front of the platform. His feet and hands were shackled together, his clothes were ripped, dirtier, and he was wearing a back cloth bag over his head. A tall man, wearing black, strung a loose over his neck. He then placed Pops on a stool, and ripped the bag off of his head.

Pops had been in a terrible condition. Dried blood covered part of his face. Cuts, scratches and a huge gash disfigured his features. That was when Pops had spotted Robbie. He had mouthed something at him. Keep fighting, Robbie. And I l- The stool collapsed from under him. A sickening crack sounded over the crowds, and for a moment, all they could hear was the wailing from a now alone boy.

Robbie shook his head, and went back to scrubbing the decks along with the other crew members. The ship was almost near Tortura, and Captain Barbossa wanted it to look its best. Something about 'showing off the ship'. A normal pirate thing, Robbie decided.

It was then he felt someone lift him up by the scruff of the shirt, and set him, standing up. Robbie looked up in surprise. What was the Captain doing on decks?

"Follow." Captain Barbossa grunted.

Robbie nodded. "Aye, sir." He followed the Captain up to the Captain's meeting room, where Robbie guessed he and the First Mate went over their course, stocks and crew members.

"Sit down, laddie, I have a job for you for when we get to Tortura." Captain Barbossa said, standing erect.

"Aye, sit." Robbie said, sitting down. Robbie was somewhat confused. Shouldn't the Captain be sitting, and Robbie standing? Robbie had a feeling that he wouldn't like Barbossa's 'job'.

"Boy, I'm not going to make small talk. I need the whole crew on deck when we reach Tortura, so listen closely."

"Aye, sir."

"There's a pearl. It's said that it has magical properties, healing properties." Barbossa's voice had dropped to a whisper. "It's become the talk of all the pirates. And they say that there's only one man- just a boy, really, that has the map to get there. His name is Allen."

Robbie frowned. "Sir, I appreciate you telling me this… but why are you telling me, of all people?"

Captain Barbossa chuckled. "We presume you'll convince him to get on our ship, as you're his age. You're fifteen, aye?"

Robbie nodded. "Aye, sir."

"Befriend him. Get him drunk, capture him. Whatever it takes. I will have that map. Oh, and if you happen to see Jack Sparrow," Barbossa made a face at that name. "Convince him onboard as well. I don't like admitting this, but he's one of the only men clever enough; or perhaps dumb enough; to be tempted with this talk of the pearl."

Robbie wanted to say that the Captain had said that everyone else was looking for this, but decided against it. Who knew? Maybe this mission would promote him. So, Robbie did what he always did.

"Aye sir." he said, nodding his head. "I'll do it. Get 'em both, I will."

Hello! I've written fanfiction before, but it's always been for the Leviathan series. Tell me how I've done with something other than that!

Oh, and I named the Cabin Boy from On stranger tides Robbie Kay, as that's the actor's name. I apologize for any strange spelling, as the movie didn't exactly tell me how… And I had to bring Jack in, as he's my favorite character. Any questions, ask me in a review! Oh, and one more thing: I almost always forget to update, so I've never actually finished any stories… So I'll be updating rather randomly. Next chapter will be long- pinky promise!

So, pretty please review! Or give criticism, which would HELP A LOT. Thanks!
