Hey everyone! Thank you all for your wonderful reviews! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 10

Meg stared wide-eyed at the page. She couldn't believe what she saw. This whole time, Meg never imagined that the handsome, roughish pirate captain that she had been crushing on since she was fourteen was actually her uncle!

Just then, Meg heard the door to the bathroom open. Meg looked up from her book and gasped at what she saw. There, leaning in the doorway, was none other than Jack. At least Meg was pretty sure it was Jack. He looked so different now that he wasn't in his pirate garb. Instead he was wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. And his hair! Jack had taken all of the trinkets out of it and brushed out all the knots. His hair was now a head full of long, dark brown curls.

Meg stood there speechless, not knowing what to say. Jack chuckled.

"Like what ye see 'luv?" he asked with a grin.

Meg nodded.

"You better believe I do!" she replied. "You look great but…" she walked over to him "…you didn't have to do this to your hair."

"I know." Jack shrugged. "But I figured that even with these clothes of yers, I'd still be gettin' unwanted female attention."

"I'm proud of you Jack." Meg smiled. "You did the right thing."

"'Ey, anything' for ye lass." Jack ruffled Meg's hair.

Just then he noticed Megan's book on her bed. He grinned.

"Find anythin' interestin' in there 'luv?" he asked with a smirk.

"Yeah." Meg replied. "You."

"Ah ye saw that did ye?" he asked.

Meg nodded.

"I was wonderin' when ye would find out."

"Oh, so you're the one who was reading this in the living room!" Meg said with a smile.

"Eh, curiosity got the better of me 'luv." The pirate replied. "I nearly fell off the couch when I found out! Bet ye were just as shocked as me."

Meg laughed. She had to agree with Jack.

"Yeah." She said. "I still can't believe it. I mean, it all makes sense now that I see it!"

"See what?"

"The similarities between us!" Meg replied. "I mean, we both like taking risks, we both are adventurous," she stopped and gave a laugh. "We both like pirates."

Jack laughed at this remark. "And not only that but…we're both really stubborn."

"And we both like bossin' people around…" Jack teased.

Meg laughed and nodded.

"Yeah that…and the fact that out of everyone I know I'm the only one that can do a perfect impression of you…"

"Hold it hold it!" Jack interrupted. "You can mimic me?"

Meg shook her head yes.

Jack crossed his arms over his chest.

"All right then miss smarty pirate….prove it."

Meg smirked at his response.

"With pleasure captain."

And with that, Meg recited the following quote:

"Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and true in the face of danger and almost certain death?"

Jack was taken back. Meg sounded exactly like him!

"All right all right, ye proved yer point." Jack sighed in defeat. "Yer more like me than I thought…"

Meg laughed.

"But now 'luv," Jack placed his hands on Meg's shoulders "Seein' as you're my niece, let me be the first to welcome ye to the Sparrow family. Yer now officially a pirate. And bein' new on the' crew you can pick our next destination."

"Hmm…" Meg thought "I choose Regina's bedroom Captain!"

"Then Regina's bedroom it is lass!" Jack gestured towards the door. "Lead the way."

Meg curtsied and together walked down the hall to Regina's room.

When arriving at Regina's poster-infested door, Meg turned to Jack.

"Wait here," Meg said. "I'll announce you. Oh I can't wait to see the look on their faces!" She turned back to the door, knocked and walked in.

"Oh hey Meg!" Regina said seeing her friend.

"Hi." Meg answered and then saw Will in the clothes Regina bought him. "Wow Will!" she exclaimed. "You look really nice!"

And he really did look quite presentable. Instead of his own clothes, he was wearing jeans and button-down white shirt with purple stripes. His hair was still the same, only it was combed neatly and pulled back into a ponytail.

"Thank you." He answered. "I'm still getting used to the clothes."

"Speaking of which, where's Jack?" Regina asked.

"Ah, I was just getting there." Meg replied. "Hey Jack!" she cried. "You can come in now!"

Megan and Jack burst into a fit of laughter at Will and Regina's faces.

"Meg," Regina said. "What did you do to him!?"

Meg laughed even harder.

"That's just it Regina, I didn't do anything!" Meg smiled at Jack. "He did it all himself!"

"Jack?" Will walked over to his friend and then looked back over at the girls.

"Meg, are you sure it's him?"

Jack rolled his eyes as Meg smiled and nodded.

"It can't be…" Will said again. "What have you done with my best friend you imposter!"

Jack laughed.

"Believe what ye want mate." Jack said. "It's still me." He showed Will his brand on his arm for proof.

Will scoffed out a laugh and shook his head in utter amazement.

"I can't believe it. Jack, you look so…"

"Different?" Meg asked.

"Exactly," Will chuckled "But, I like Jack's new look. You'll fit in wonderfully."

Jack grinned and placed his hand on Will's shoulder.

"Same goes to ye mate." Jack said "I like the new you also."

"Well now that that's settled…" Regina began. "There's something Will and I need to tell you."

"Sure Reggi, what is it?" Meg asked.

"Jack, Meg," Regina said. "Will and are cousins."

There! Just another bit of proof of Meg and Regina NOT being Mary-Sue's! Anyhoo, leave a review! They help me update!
