The crew of the Pearl heads for Tortuga to celebrate. Everyone disembarked and went on their way, heading for the nearest tavern, I'm sure. I headed for the cemetery to visit Mum's grave after getting a bite to eat. We stayed docked in Tortuga for the night, and on my way back to the ship in the morning I found Gibbs, very much asleep on the dock. And where the pearl should have been was only a small dinghy. Father will not be pleased.
A few hours later he returns, with Scarlett and Giselle on his arms. How he managed that I'm not quite sure. They question the size of the Pearl. I'm surprised he's this calm. "Love, that is a dinghy. My vessel is magnificent and fierce and huge-ish, and…gone. Why is it gone?"
"Is that it there?"
"Yes, there it is. Why is it there?" The whores give a disappointed look. "It's much larger up close.
"Jack, you promised to take us for a ride." Scarlett whines.
"I was to be given the first ride." Giselle interjects.
"What, you?" As they bicker, Father steps around them and pours the contents of his goblet on Gibbs to wake him up.
He gives us both dirty looks. "Any particular reason why my ship is gone?"
"Don't look at me Daddy, I came back this morning and found him asleep, and the ship gone."
"The ship? We're on the ship." Suddenly he stirs. "Jack! The ship's gone!"
"Really?" The whores are in a brawl by now. "Ladies! Will you please shut it? Listen to me." He looks back and forth between them as he rambles angrily. "Yes, I lied to you. No, I don't love you. Of course it makes you look fat. I've never been to Brussels. It is pronounced "egregious." By the way, no, I've never actually met Pizzaro, but I love his pies." He addresses them both now, "And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again, gone. Savvy?" The look at each other and then smack him. He then smacks Gibbs, who nods in acceptance.
"Take what you can."
"And give nothing back." They bump fists, and Gibbs tails after the whores, and Father and I board our dinghy.
He checks the chart he stole from Barbossa and his compass and then takes a swig of rum while I hoist the colours. Now, we go in search of our ship, and then off to the fountain of youth!
