Disclaimer: Captain Jack, Will, and Elizabeth and the plot line are not mine (along with Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Coke, or Cadbury - Sad, sad world it is..), and neither is the Black Pearl, unfortunately. If I did own that fabulous ship, I would paint it hot pink while Jack isn't looking.

'Lookie! Biscuits!' Lexi said, emerging from below deck. She tossed two at Holly and then lay down, stretching out in the sun. 'Go feed your hottie.' She smirked. Holly made a "ha-ha-very-funny" look at her but went up to the helm anyway, stuffing one of the biscuits in her pocket. Jack saw her coming and called out 'Would've thought ye'd 'ave had enough of me by now, love. Back fer more?' He smirked. Holly rolled her eyes. 'You looked lonely. I was bored. So sue me.'

That's when Jack noticed what she was chewing on. 'Where'd you get that?' He said, suddenly feeling rather hungry. Holly shrugged. 'Lexi found them below deck.' Holly broke off another piece and Jack reached out to grab but Holly threw it in her mouth. She gave Jack a stern look and even dared waving a finger in front of his nose. 'No. My biscuit!'

Convinced he could just reach out and grab it, Jack tried but was shoved back by Holly. 'Nuh uh uh uh uh uh!' She sang, holding her biscuit just out of reach. 'Ow - Jack don't grab me! Bad Jack!' Jack finally gave up after a minute or two and went back to looking where he was going, without saying a word. Holly couldn't help but smirk, turning her back on Jack and slowly walking further away, fully expecting him to grab her around the waist or something of that effect. What she didn't expect was Jack to turn the wheel sharply, causing the boom to swing sharply over… Straight into Holly. With a resulting 'Oof!' and a scream, Holly let go of her biscuit and clutched the boom for dear life. Jack, in perfect Jack-timing, caught the flying biscuit and took a bite. 'Ta!'

Lexi and Will, hearing the scream, came running. It took only a second for Lexi to double over laughing and even Will chuckled a bit. 'This isn't funny! Take me back, Jack! I'm not as strong as Will!'

Meanwhile, Lexi had stopped laughing and snuck up to stand onto of the mast. She grinned evilly and Holly saw.

'LEXI- DON'T YOU DAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!' Holly screamed as Lexi started jumping on the mast. Lexi had always wanted to do this to Will, but now Holly was in his place, it was so much better. Eventually she took pity on her, stepping down so that Jack could swing the mast back. Except… He didn't.

'Learnt yer lesson?' He called out to the poor hanging ragdoll of a girl.

'Oh, GOD. This was a lesson!' Holly screamed exasperatedly.

'Aye. Don't tease the Captain!' Jack smirked at her. If Holly wasn't so preoccupied, she would have had a smirk to match it. 'But teasing can be so much fun!'

Jack crossed his arms in a lazy fashion and leant against the wheel, silently watching her as a gust caught the sail and shook the boom violently. 'FINE!' Holly squeaked. 'Fine! No teasing the Captain! NOW PUT ME DOWN.'

Jack obediently turned the wheel and Holly came crashing down on deck. Now finished the biscuit, Jack offered her a hand up. Convinced he had now had his fun, Holly took it, but did not make eye contact with him and walked away as soon as she was standing. Jack watched, only mildly upset as Lexi made 'Oooooooooo!' sounds. When she was safely far enough away from Jack, the captain saw Holly pull another biscuit out of her pocket.

That bloody wench!

A while later, Jack left WIll in charge of the helm (not long enough to crash into anything, of course) and went scouring for rum. He needed rum. He hadn't managed to get any while he was locked up in Port Royal and he was hoping some of his liquid gold would be in the cellar of this otherwise very barren ship. He walked in and was delighted to see that the ship was stocked full with various different types of alcohol. Now all he had to do was find the rum!

'Rum is down the very end.' A voice said. 'Ta!' Jack replied and started walking. Then he realized that voice didn't sound like the one in his head. Drawing his sword, he turned around and saw no one. Confused, he sheathed his sword and went looking. Eventually he found the young man…. hanging… on the wall?

'Who are ye n what're you doing, hanging there?' Jack asked him, drawing his sword again and pointed it at the boy's throat. The boy didn't show any fear at being threatened and replied calmly. 'My name is Captain Thomas Sharpe. I'm the captain of the Ocean Song.'

'Nev'r heard of it…' Jack pondered, trying to recall if he had ever heard of such a ship. 'If you're the captain, where is your ship?' He asked suspiciously.

'Norrington took it.'

'Ah. Bloody Norrington.' Jack said, feeling safe enough to turn around and get his beloved rum. The boy called out 'I want to join you with whatever you're doing.' Jack rolled his eyes. 'You want to join us and you don't even know what we're doing?'

Behind him, the boy shrugged. 'It's better than being hanged.'

Jack grabbed a bottle of rum and swaggered back to Tom, stopping very close to him. 'Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?' He asked with staggering speed.

Tom looked slightly alarmed. 'Uhh… Aye?'

'Good answer.' Jack then tried to pull the dagger out, but ended up having to put his rum bottle down and use both hands. 'Who put this in here?' He grunted as he finally got it out.

'Lexi.'

'You know her?'

'Who doesn't?'

Jack made a vague noise of agreement, grabbed his rum bottle and lead the way above deck.

Meanwhile, Lexi was helping Holly practice her fencing. Lexi had always been better than Holly in their fencing classes and now Lexi owned a beautiful sword which she claimed to have stolen off Gillette when they were at Port Royal. They were speeding up; swords making metal clangs and scrapings as they started to have a full out battle. While praising Holly, Lexi was slightly amused at how flourishing her movements were. She certainly liked to spin, sword above head, hair blowing in the wind. As cool as it looked, Lexi didn't think this would save Holly from an undead pirate.

Will was glad of the peace of being over the other side of the ship but was also bored. He hated waiting, he wanted to save Elizabeth. Although this was better than being a sitting duck in Port Royal, it was still painful thinking what those pirates could be doing to her. While admist his thoughts, he noticed one of the ropes holding a sail was coming loose and he tried to yell to the girls, whose fighting now looked impressive to say the least. His voice was lost to the strong wind and he cursed, putting the rope over the wheel and going to secure the rope himself.

'That was really good!' Lexi puffed, red faced. 'I think you're ready to fight some undead bastards!' She laughed. A thought crossed her mind as Holly happy danced (probably not the best idea with a sword). 'That's not how they fight in the movies though! I took this stunt course once, they did sword fighting and it was like this.' She made huge, exaggerated and slow movements, making a face to go along with it just to make Holly laugh. It worked. 'You look ridiculous!' Holly giggled. 'Teach me!'

Gotta love your friends, eh?

'Okay, follow my lead, pull your sword down slowly, now to the right - no your right, genius… Okay now place your other hand on the hilt, and quickly, slice left!' Holly did so, but did not see Will behind her and accidentally hit him. Except she was putting so much focus and energy into what she was doing that she hit quite… Hard. Unfortunately for Will (and fortunately for Holly) he was very close to the rail and the force actually pushed him overboard. Luckily, his reaction speed was better than his intelligence and he managed to grasp the rail before he was flung into the sea.

'Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!' He yelled, trying to hoist himself up. Holly gasped and felt incredibly guilty for about 5 seconds, then she narrowed her eyes at him. She crossed her arms. 'I'm not helping him!' she announced. Lexi couldn't believe her ears. 'What!' She rushed over to attempt to haul Will up. 'Why not!' She yelled backwards to the dark haired girl.

'Will was supposed to be the once that was swung overboard before. This is payback.' Holly said bitchily, turning her back on the whole scene.

'Are you saying that you planned this?'

'Next time Jack does something amazing, ask him the same question. I guarantee you won't get a straight answer from him either.' Holly smirked and Lexi huffed, becoming more and more panicked because it was clear that Will was too heavy to haul up on her own and Jack was nowhere in sight. Thankfully, Jack emerged from below and saw them, looking mildly alarmed.

'Jack!' Lexi yelled. 'Holly hit Will and he fell overboard! I can't pull him up!' Lexi was enraged when he shrugged. 'Well if she hit him that hard, he probably deserved it!' He called back to her. 'Pirates' code…' he muttered. Then he realized that if Will was hanging overboard, no one was at the helm. 'Bloody Whelp!' He yelled. 'If ye weren't already hangin' there, i'd toss ye over myself!'

Lexi decided to remind everyone why they couldn't just chuck Will overboard. 'Jack, do you expect to get-' She stopped talking when strong hands grabbed onto Will's other shoulder. 'Let me get that for you.' Said a instantly recognizable voice behind her. Together her and Tom hoisted Will up, who sprawled out on deck. He rolled over onto his back and looked up at his rescuer. 'Thanks!' He huffed. '…Who are you?'

Lexi folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. 'Uhhh… Captain… Thomas Sharpe, at your service…' He pronounced himself meekly, well aware that Lexi was killing him with her thoughts for saying "Captain". Holly was looking mindblown that this very good looking stranger had turned up out of nowhere, on a boat way out to see… And Lexi seemed to know him? Whether she would actually admit to that or not, Holly wasn't sure. But that wasn't going to stop her from asking. She sauntered over to Jack, who was looking annoyed with his compass.

'Jack… Do you know that man?' Holly asked him. 'Nay, jus' met him a few minutes ago.' Jack replied, not looking up. 'How'd you meet?' Holly asked curiously, watching the couple who seemed to be arguing. 'I found 'im.'

'…..What? Where?'

'Captain!' Lexi's voice rang out. 'I believe you have a stowaway aboard!'

'I know ye think so, love, ye were the one tha' pinned him to the wall of the bloody rum cellar, the poor bastard!'

'….WHAT?'

'… It was self defense! He snuck up on me! He still doesn't have any right to be aboard, he should have announced himself!' She narrowed her eyes at Tom. 'He's a stowaway, Jack. He should be punished for being aboard without permission!'

'Well,' Said Jack. 'We can either throw him over board or whip him. Your choice.'

'I choose locking him in the brig!' Lexi announced, grabbing Tom by the arm and dragging him below. 'No- I don't-' Tom started, his voice faded as they went further below deck.

'Damn.' Jack said. 'I was really hoping she would throw 'im overboard.'

'Come on, is this really necessary?' Tom whined. He suddenly overpowered Lexi (as he could have done anytime, he was much stronger than her) and pushed her against the wall using his whole body. 'Why didn't you take the whip? I know you would have liked that.'

Lexi smirked. 'Yeah, I should have. Recently, I have come to like seeing you in pain. A missed opportunity, says I. But no matter. I'll see you in pain when I get my ship back and maroon you on a godforsaken spit of land.'

Tom pushed off the wall either side of Lexi, releasing her from the weight of his body. 'Way to kill the mood.' He mumbled. He wished he could express to Lexi how much he regretted that, but that wouldn't be very pirate-y of him. He sighed and allowed her to lead him to the cell. 'You wouldn't do that to me.' He told her.

'Oh wouldn't I? You know these days, people refer to me as a pirate.'

'And a very sexy pirate you are. Fierce too.' Tom said, admiring her not so subtly.

'It the hair. It's always the hair….. But flattery will get you nowhere.' Lexi told him, jingling the keys in front of his face. He swiped for them, but she was expecting that and moved the keys out of reach. She opened the cell door but as she was turning back to face him he grabbed her arm and twisted, getting the keys from her and rendering her helpless. She was still facing away from him, so he whispered in her ear. 'Flattery might not, but strength gets me all kind of places.' He then gave her a swift kiss on her freckly cheek and pushed her forward into the cell. Before she could compose herself he slammed the door and locked her in.

She groaned loudly. 'How long are you going to keep me here!'

'Until you forgive me. Or kiss me. I'm not all that fussy.' He smirked. 'Or you could just wait until we get to Tortuga.'

'How long is that?'

'About 3 days or so.' Tom struggled not to laugh.

'UGH!'

Dear loyal readers, hello. I haven't had a chance to talk to you in a while. Lexi is currently busy (locked in a cell) so i'm taking over the A/N for this chapter. I just want to apologize for how long it took to get this chapter out. It's kind of a dud, i'm not gonna lie. Hopefully the next chapter will be better. Trust me, we've got lots of great ideas for later chapters! I hope you'll stay with us. You will? That's great! More Lexi and Tom for you then! You can tell how much I like this couple. You gotta let me know if you like Tom/Lexi better or Holly/Jack. I think it's just refreshing to have an OC couple that fits so well in this world. Also, what would a celebrity couple name for Tom and Lexi be? I'm interested in what you come up with. As I said before, Lexi will be back to entertain you next chapter!
