Double digits…SWEET.

To everyone who reviewed the last chapter: Thank you, Thank you, I love you!

To everyone who didn't: …I'M WAITING.
I own Jaquline.

I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean  sniff,sniff…

Enjoy!

Flashbacks are like this. Underlined and italics.

There is a long flashback sequence. Just a note of warning.

Note: JACK IS SEXY!!! SO IS NORRINGTON!!

Tee hee…what can I say? My eyes don't lie…and neither do my hips…well, they do. Never mind…

Davy Jones' Locker

"63 bottles of rum on the wall, 63 bottles of rum. The boat hits a rough wave, a bottle smashes on the floor, 62 bottles of rum on the wall…" Jack sang bitterly as he stared into space.

He would kill for a bottle of rum.

Speaking of…he needed to shoot something.

He hopped down from where he was sitting in the crow's nest.

"You, you, you, you, you, and you. Come here." He pointed to random crew members.

"I need all of you to get off the ship."

"Aye aye Cap'n!" They egarly hopped off the ship and landed on the flat stone floor.

"Alright, now run around." He commanded, pulling out his pistol. Thankfully, it never seemed to run out of bullets.

"Run around where sir?" A Jack asked.

"Just run around willy-nilly. Run like a…hmmm…run like a blood-thirsty parrot is after you."

The crew looked at each other then started to run around in circles, waving their arms like lunatics. A few took the liberty to yell "Bad parrot!".

"Yay. Target practice."

He then proceded to shoot five of the six Jacks.

The last one was tricky. He would run one way, then just as he was about to shoot, he would turn and run the other way.

After he was done, he sighed.

"Including those six…that's 58 crew casualties."

……………………………

"I want some pie with salmon cream and garlic salt."

South China Sea, 8 miles east of Singapore, three days later.

"Father…"

Jaquline was staring out over the South China Sea.

Saving her father was the only thing on her mind.

"Jaquline! We're starting a meeting." Will shouted from the captain's cabin.

With a heavy sigh, she tore her gaze away from the waters and followed him in the cabin.

Barbossa, Tia Dalma, Elizabeth, Gibbs, and Will sat down at the large round table.

Jaquline stood by the door, still absorbed in her thoughts.

"It's a good thing we made it through the Philippean Sea without running into her Pirate Lord." Gibbs murmered, taking a drink of rum from his canteen.

"Now, Sao Feng's uncle holds the charts to World's End in his bathhouse. I think that we should go in and try to steal the charts." Barbossa proposed, ignoring Gibbs.

"That's a start. But, why can't we just go in and take them by force?" Will asked.

"Because Sao Feng is the Pirate Lord of the South China Sea." Barbossa said.

"Great. We're about to try and steal sacred charts from a Pirate Lord?" Will remarked.

"If we go in and try to steal the charts, we will get caught. They are most likely guarded by Sao Feng's best guards." Jaquline thought out loud.

"Do you have a better plan missy?" Barbossa asked.

"I'm thinking that one of us should go in and try to steal it. One of us is more inconspicuous than all of us."

"What if that person dosen't come back?"

"I was getting to that. If that person doesn't come back at a certain time, the rest of us sould go in and try to persuade Sao Fang or Feng or whatever his name is to give us the charts." Jaquline finished.

"That sounds like a plan Jack himself would think up." Gibbs murmered.

"Did you say something Mr. Gibbs?" Jaquline asked.

He shook his head no.

"So, does that sound like a plan?"

"It sounds betta den Barbossa's." Tia Dalma spoke.

"…So who wants to risk their life to get these charts? Any volunteers?" Jaquline asked.

Maybe Elizabeth can go volunteer and get herself killed….Jaquline thought wistfully.

The girl can hold a grudge.

"I'll go." Will stood up. Elizabeth looked alarmed, but didn't say anything.

"Alright. Here's where the charts are hidden…" Barbossa started to draw up a map of Singapore.

Jaquline went back outside to stare out over the water. It was almost sunset, the blood red sun reflected and sparkled on the water.

Jaquline was sitting on her bed in Tortuga with Jack, waiting to hear one of his newest stories.

"I rowed into the Isla de Muerta to find Barbossa standing before the Aztec gold about to cut Will's throat.

I walked up to him, and told him that he should wait to undo the curse.

He asked me why, and I told him that the Dauntless was floating just outside the cave.

I told him to hold off the curse, send his men out to kill the soldiers, and take the grandest ship as his flag ship, and name me captain of the Pearl. I would give him 25 of me plunder.

A total lie of course. I would never give him anything except a bullet to the heart.

I had a plan to do just that. I grabbed a handful on coins to prove a point, dropping a coin at a time in, but silently slipping one in my glove, givin' meself the curse."

"And Barbossa didn't even notice?"

"Nope. I had gotten him so worked up he wouldn't have noticed me doin a jig on his feet.

Just as I had thought, he ignored my idea and sent his crew out for a silent assasin mission.

He said 'I thought I had you figured. Turns out you're a hard man to predict.'

I replied 'Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust dishonest. It's the honest ones you need to watch out for.'

Do you why you need to watch out for the honest ones?"

"Because you can never tell when they're about to do something stupid?"

"That's right. I pulled out one of his crew member's sword and tossed it to the welp.

Then I pulled out me own sword and attacked Barbossa.

We fought and fought, until finally he dropped his sword and said 'You can't beat me Jack.'

I stabbed 'im in the chest, and stepped back, making sure I didn't step in the moonlight.

He just sighed! I thought he might be stunned or something to that effect, but no! Just a sigh.

Then, he pulled my sword out of his chest and stabbed me in mine!"

"Did it hurt?"

"A little. I think that it was because I had cursed myself oly a few moments before.

I staggered back into the moonlight to reveal that I cursed meself.

The majority of me skin and muscle dissapated into dust, and me clothes became torn and full of holes."

"How were you able to move without muscles?"

"I was cursed sweetie. It was magic."

"Oh."

"As I was saying, Barbossa look like he was about to explode, which would've made me job a lot easier..."

"Jaquline!" Gibbs walked up to her, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"If Will's not back by sunset, we're goin' in."

"Alright. Sound's fine by me." Jaquline mumbled, eager to get back to her memories, when a question popped in her head.

"Mr. Gibbs?"

"Yes?"

Jaquline opened her mouth, only to find the question die on her lips.

"Never mind." She said instead.

How did Father die? I want to hear it coming from you. I want you to tell me something different than Elizabeth's story.

I want to hear that he died, and was not murdered.

Tears ran down her face as she turned back toward the sunset.

I want to hear that his last words were "Tell Jaquie that I love her."
