The next morning Kat rolled out of bed long before Will or Barbossa or anyone really was awake. She went on deck to find that Jack was still manning the wheel.

"Why don't you let me take over for awhile, so you can get some sleep." she asked him

"I don't think a pretty little thing like you will be able to handle such a ship." Jack replied. Kat gently pushed Jack to the side and took up the wheel.

"What were you saying captain?" She smugly asked as she kept the ship on the same path.

"Very good luv, but let me help you out." he stepped behind her and put his hands over hers. He moved her hands slightly to the left and gave them a firmer grip. "Now that's perfect." he whispered in her ear. And before she could give him a hard time he turned and went into the captain's cabin to get some sleep. Ha! I showed him. Maybe next time he shouldn't be so cocky. His body is so warm. What a beautiful day on the sea! He came so close to me. I wonder how long the ship has to stay straight. You could go ask Jack. Will should be waking up soon, I can ask him then. And so Kat's battle of wits (is that the right word?) continued until Will came out.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Kat taunted.

"Mornin'" he replied still half asleep. "Where's Jack?"

"Asleep. I figured he needed a rest so I offered to take over."

"Jack doesn't willingly leave the ship in another's control. What did you have to do to convince him?"

"Don't even think about accusing me again. I pushed him out of the way and showed him what I can do." Kat said.

"Kat I believe you…it's just that I know him and well you can't trust him." Kat sighed.

"I never said that I trusted him."

"Well…"

"All I said was that I didn't need you to be looking out for me. Okay well you can look out for me when I'm being threatened-which by the way you did not do."

"I was just…"

"Too concerned about Elizabeth. Yeah I realized."

"You two can't argue quietly can you?" Jack said walking up the steps.

"Sorry Jack." Will said.

"What about you, are you sorry?" he asked Kat.

"Not really."

"Why not?"

"Because that's most likely how you want me to feel." Kat shrugged and gave Jack a sweet smile.

"Well then I would like you to stay on the wheel for awhile, you're doing a fine job." Jack said, challenging her words.

"Thank-you captain but…Will would you like to take over, I'm getting a little bored of it." She said, pushed past Jack and started down the steps. Fine, if she wants to defy me then…Jack thought

"Oh yes, one more thing luv. Never come into my cabin…especially when I'm in there." Kat didn't say anything; she just looked at him for a moment then carried on.
