"Pia! Wake up! We're gonna set sail!" someone yelled in my ear. I shrieked and jumped up from my hammock with fright, landing on the floor in a tangled mess. I didn't need anyone to tell me who was responsible for this.

"Sparrow, you'd better clear out before I get up," I hissed. He chuckled, "And what will ye do, smother me?" "That's a good idea, but not enough," I said trying to untangle myself from the blanket. "I wouldn't say no if you smothered me with kisses." "Jack, you'd better stop trying to be witty and come help me remove this bloody blanket!" I said, shouting the last part. He sniggered to himself as he crouched down, "And what will I get if I help you?" "A good kick in the ass! For this is entirely your fault!" I screamed.

The door burst open and Elizabeth rushed in. "I thought I heard…screaming," she said, trying to stifle a laugh. "Don't you dare laugh, or you're shark bait!" I threatened, still thrashing around. "You help her Elizabeth, while I go and check on the crew," Jack said quickly, before hurrying outside.

"I'm so going to kill him," I hissed. She sighed. "Stay still, while I untangle you." She said. Some time later I strode out, this time I decided I'd give him the silent treatment. Whenever he tried to talk I just ignored him; as if no one was there. Needless to say he was furious after trying to talk to me for four times, rather unsuccessfully might I add.

"Do ye know where we're going Miss Pia?" Gibbs asked. "I think we're going to Puerto Rico next. That will be in two days time. Why don't you ask Jack to be sure?" I said. "He's livid about something," he replied. "He is?" I said amused. He looked at me suspiciously, "This wouldn't happen to be by yer doing, is it?" he asked. I acted innocent and surprised, "My doing? Why I haven't spoken to him all morning!" I said. "How could it be my doing?" He sighed and shook his head in defeat. "I have no idea what upset him, then. I just hope it's nothing…bad, like last time," he said (referring to the time when the Kraken was after him no doubt) as he walked away. I grinned to myself. So my plan was working after all.

"You, in me cabin, now," an irritated voice said from behind me. I was deciding whether I was still going to ignore him or not when he walked in front of me. He just picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. Alright, I'm gonna talk to him now.

"Hoy! Put me down! What the hell?! I'm not a potato sack!" "Oh, so yer talking to me now?" he asked as he slammed shut his cabin door. "Yes," I grunted as he threw me on his bed. "Why're you ignoring me?" he said, crossing his arms. I crossed my arms and legs. "Why did you wake me up the way you did?" I asked as a response. He looked at me incredulous. "So all this fuss is about a joke?" "Ha! Nice joke!" I said sarcastically as I got up. "Have you forgotten how I hate being woken up that way, or that I'm not a morning person?" I asked, scowling.

At that moment the door flew open. "Cap'n! We're under attack!" Gibbs said, fighting another pirate. "What the hell…" Jack muttered as he hurried out on deck, pulling out his sword. I could practically feel the wild glint coming in my eyes. The glint that came when I was about to start fighting. I ran outside and immediately found myself engaged in a battle against 2 pirates.

Jack's Point of View

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Jack Sparrow," a voice said from behind him. "That's Captain for you, mate," he replied, turning around. "So what's the reason for attacking me ship?" Jack asked, engaged in a sword with the other ship's captain.

"Ye have the key to the Mediterranean," he said, swishing his sword towards Jack's neck, only to find the path blocked. ""I have no keys on me ship," Jack replied frowning as he stabbed towards the other captain's chest. However this was blocked. "Don't act dumb with me Sparrow," he growled. "Say, what's yer name?" Jack asked blocking another attack. "Captain Ronda at yer service." He said smirking. "Ronda? That sounds more like a girl's name to me," Jack said scrunching his nose. Ronda growled, and attacked ferociously, instantly forcing Jack to stop any idea of negotiating and fighting back.

Just when Jack seemed to be gaining the upper hand, a crew member from The Sea Gull (Ronda's ship) rushed over. "Cap'n! We've got the key!" he shouted as he knocked out Pintel, who was trying to hack him with a short sword, and boarded the gang-plank that was connecting the Gull to the Pearl. And indeed the only remaining pirate from the Gull was Ronda. "See ye around," he said and ran the way to the gang-plank. Just as Jack shoved it to the sea, Ronda grabbed the railings and was helped onboard.

Needless to say, Jack was furious. 'With whom?' you might ask. Why with Pia of course! She was the one who didn't tell him about the key, whatever it is. If he knew, he might at least have been prepared for the attack. "How much damage was done?" he barked at Gibbs. "Not much, it seemed as they were searching for something…or someone," "Did they find what they were searching for?" he growled. Oh, she so was gonna regret it. "Aye," Gibbs replied as they looked at the Pearl's crew helping the wounded. "And what is it?" Jack asked.

"Pia." Gibbs replied. "Man the helm, Master Gibbs. Make sure we keep the Gull in our view, if it's possible we remain hidden. Oh and next time inform me a little earlier that we're under attack, savvy?" Jack said as he descended the stairs that led up to the helm. "Aye Cap'n," Gibbs replied.

"Alright men," Jack began. "Anyone who doesn't want to look like a sorry landlubber get up off your lazy asses and back to yer posts. The Gull's taken something that is crucial for us," he finished. "The only thing they've taken is Pia, and good-riddance says I," Pintel said. "Exactly. They've taken Pia," Jack said.

"Just because you have feelings for her doesn't mean-" "My feelings have nothing to do with this! Now if anyone wants to live to see Calypso's Cave, we'd better hurry and get Pia. Because she is the key!" he said angrily, as he strode in his cabin to check out the compass and maps. He sighed as he sat down on a chair and gulped some rum from his half empty bottle.

'It's because she's the key,' he thought. However, as much as he tried to convince himself, that wasn't the only reason why he was eager to get to the Gull. As much as he hated to admit it, he was starting to have feelings for her.

I hope you like it, and as I said before, reviews make me update earlier!
