I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
Captain Jasper Hook smiled as he focused on treasure in his cabin. He counted multiple coins. His eyes became wide after he heard footsteps. He turned his head. Jasper saw Midshipman James Hook with Cecilia. He began to frown.
''Cecilia is distracting you, little brother. You are always near her,'' Jasper said. He shook his head in disbelief. Jasper viewed James frowning.
''You're always focusing on treasure or capturing ships, Jasper,'' James said. He nodded at Cecilia. James viewed Jasper nodding. ''I should thank you for sparing Cecilia's life after capturing her ship recently, Jasper.''
Cecilia blinked twice. She swayed from side to side. ''I'm exhausted,'' she muttered. She fell in her betrothed's arms. Cecilia heard James as he gasped. She fell asleep.
''Cecilia!'' James exclaimed with wide eyes. After touching Cecilia's forehead, he frowned again. He faced Jasper. ''Cecilia's forehead is hot,'' he said. James watched as Jasper tilted his head to one side. ''Why are you confused?'' he asked.
''Your betrothed never said she was sick,'' Jasper said.
''I'll take Cecilia to my chamber. Obtain a wet cloth, Jasper,'' James said. He focused on Cecilia. His eyes were filled with worry. James carried Cecilia to his bed and placed her on it. After a few minutes went by, he turned his head and faced the doorway.
''Jasper should be here with the wet cloth now,'' James muttered. A scowl appeared on his face. ''I know about Jasper's location,'' he said. James departed. His eyes settled on Jasper as the latter counted gold coins again. He shook his head in a disapproving way.
''A wet cloth! Remember?'' James scowled at Jasper. He saw the latter's sheepish expression.
''My gold coins are important to me, James,'' Jasper said.
''Cecilia is important to me,'' James said.
Jasper began to frown. ''Return to your betrothed. I will obtain the wet cloth, James.'' He viewed James departing. Jasper obtained a wet cloth and returned to James. He saw the return of the latter's worried expression.
James placed the cloth on Cecilia's forehead. He glanced at a sudden smile on Jasper's face. It was a kind smile and not the usual cruel one. He tilted his head in confusion.
''A sword fight will cheer you up, James. You won't have to worry about Cecilia.''
''You're not going to count gold coins again, Jasper?'' James asked with wide eyes.
Jasper shook his head. He touched his younger brother's shoulder. ''You are important to me now, little brother.'' Jasper viewed a small smile on the latter's face.
James glanced at Cecilia. His smile remained. *Cecilia should be fine* he thought. He followed Jasper to the ship's main deck. James revealed a sword before Jasper imitated him. ''Let the battle begin,'' he said.
