Chapter 10: Crew

Midday came really fast after mucking around all morning with my friends. Before long, we all made our way down to the docks to meet the crew and board the ship. Right now Gibbs was talking to Jack.

"Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them, faithful hands before the mast, every man worth his salt. And crazy to boot," Gibbs told Jack. All of my friends sniggered at the thought of having to find a crew as crazy as their captain.

"So this is your able-bodied crew?" Will asked. My friends had different emotions on each of their faces. I could tell that Destiny thought Will was clueless and that Indiana thought Will was gorgeous. I didn't want to know how this was going to turn out, but it might be pretty funny.

Jack walked up and down the dock, examining the crew standing before him. "You, sailor!" he shouted at one of the men.

"Cotton, sir." Strange, Mr. Gibbs answered for him instead.

"Mr. Cotton... do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?" Jack asked, confusing some of the crew. Cotton didn't answer, he just looked at Gibbs as if he would help him.

"Mr. Cotton! Answer, man!" Jack yelled at him. I reached out to hit him for yelling at this man who obviously couldn't talk.

Gibbs finally stepped in. "He's a mute, sir. Poor devil had his tongue cut out," Cotton opened his mouth to show Jack, who poked out his own tongue in disgust. "So he trained the parrot to talk for him. No one's yet figured how." I wonder how anyone would find out how he did it if he can't talk...

Jack turned to the yellow and blue macaw sitting on Cotton's shoulder. "Mr. Cotton's... parrot. Same question," Jack asked.

"Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!" the parrot replied.

"Mostly, we figure, that means 'yes'," Mr. Gibbs explained.

"O'course it does," Jack muttered, then turned to Will. "Satisfied?" he asked.

"Well, you've proved they're mad," Will said, frowning.

"And what's the benefit for us?" another voice suddenly piped up. It sounded familiar, too.

Jack turned to the voice and frowned, then made his way over to the sailor. Jack looked at them for a second before pulling off the large hat, revealing Anamaria. Uh oh, she's not gonna be very happy with Jack after he stole her boat.

"Anamaria," Jack said, then Ana slapped him. I cheered for her, along with some of my friends.

"I suppose you didn't deserve that one either," Will said sarcastically. I honestly didn't know that he was capable of making smart comments. Maybe he's not half bad.

"No, that one I deserved," Jack said, sounding like he was in pain. Good for him...

Anamaria nodded."You stole my boat!"

"Actually-" Jack tried to reason with her, and she slapped him again. I started clapping, grinning like a drunken fool. This was hilarious! Jack turned away, rubbing his face. "Borrowed. Borrowed without permission. But with every intention of bringing it back to you," he said, trying to move away from her.

"But you didn't!" she yelled at him.

"You'll get another one," Jack told her.

Anamaria goes to slap him a third time, but points at him instead. "I will," she growled at him.

Will tried to help. "A better one," he said.

"A better one!" Jack repeated.

"That one," Will said, pointing to the Interceptor.

"What one?" Jack asked, turning to face Will. "That one?!" he asked in shock. Then he changed his mind when he turned back to Ana. "Aye, that one. What say you?"

"Aye!" they yelled and started making their way onto the ship. Most of my friends made their way onto the ship, only me and Elanor and Indiana remaining. Jack seemed to be looking at something in the sky. I looked up and noticed the very edge of a black cloud peaking out from behind the buildings.

"No, no, no, no, no, it's frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir," Gibbs complained. Silly, superstitious Mr. Gibbs. I think he forgot about the rest of us.

"Hey! She's not the only woman going! There's 8 girls, Gibbs!" I yelled at him, making him jump. I smiled.

"It'd be far worse not to have them," Jack said and turned away from the sky, handed me a banana that I didn't know he had, and walked onto the ship.

Me, Elanor and Indiana followed him, while Gibbs and Will both looked at the sky that Jack was just inspecting.

Five hours later, we were sailing through a severe thunderstorm. Bodies were flying everywhere trying to tighten ropes and fix the sails. No one was downstairs, everyone had come back up to help pull the ship through in one piece. It was a miracle that no one had fallen overboard yet.

I was currently pulling a rope next to Will and Destiny. Mr. Gibbs was on the other side of Will. "How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?" Will yelled over the storm to Gibbs after looking at Jack standing at the helm, his compass in his hand.

"Aye, the compass doesn't point north but we're not trying to find north, are we?" Gibbs said, then a huge wave washed onto the deck, knocking everyone to the other side of the ship. Gibbs ran up to Jack, with me on his tail.

"We should drop canvas, sir," Mr. Gibbs yelled.

"She can hold a bit longer," Jack replied, looking at his compass again.

"What's in your head that's put you in such a fine mood, Jack?" I practically screamed over the noise of the storm

Jack grinned. "We're catching up." I looked down and, sure enough, my necklace was glowing red still. I only hope that the storm doesn't get any worse and dies down soon.
