Sorry this is so short...
A Different Destiny Ch. 4 Of New Faces and Old Friends
"Welcome ta excitement, have ya missed it?" Riana asked as they watched the Black Pearl loom up in the darkness of the night like a moving mountain on the water. More time had passed than Melody would have expected for it to be so dark, but then it was getting close to winter now. It wasn't much colder, but the daylight was shortening.
"How did you come to be in Jack's crew?" Will asked.
"Oh, I'm not so much part a his crew as a woman who just happens ta be aboard. I cook to earn me keep--did I say 'me', I meant my--really because I'm bored. I'm adoptin' Jack's speech now, ain't I? Aiya! And I spoke so good before. I mean well."
"Ah...okay," Will said, looking a bit confused by the blurble he'd recieved in response to his query. Melody roled he eys but smiled. Then narrowed them at the water. "Ri, is that part of Jack's crew?" she asked of a boat seemingly rowed all by itself. As it came closer she saw a dark-skinned girl and a very tanned man--Jack Sparrow himself.
Never to be cheated out of his admittedly dangerous "fun," he'd come to meet them himself with only one crew member, as if he was tempting fate.
"Look, Jack! Dear William has returned!" Riana called, jumping and clappig her hands. She ran over to the small boat as it came close to the boardwalk over the gently churning water.
Jack grinned and grabbed her by the waist to bring her down into the bobbing ship. "That's so, luv? Well. Ya're all in one piece still, good and well. Dear William! You actually *are* here!"
"Aye, Jack," Will grinned. He helped Melody down and went in himself.
" 'Ello, Anna Maria!" Riana chirped as Jack and Will exchanged a hearty hug of welcome.
"Welcome back, little missy," Anna Maria returned. "And is this your 'lovely Melody?'"
Melody raised an eyebrow at hearing Anna Maria using Riana's favorite nick-name for her. She dipped her head in greeting. "I am, miss."
"Anna Maria," she said by way of introduction, nodding politely.
They set off for the Pearl.
