Joanna stumbled behind Barbossa as their group made their way through the thick jungle. The sun was beating down on them and her dress was getting caught on every little branch and twig, slowing her down.

"Hector", Joanna said. "Will we be able to rest soon?"

"Nay", Barbossa answered. "Not til nightfall."

"Hector, please. I need to rest."

Barbossa looked at her and saw she was near the back of the group. He turned around and limped toward her.

"Ye lot go on ahead", he commanded. "The Mrs. 'nd I need ta be alone."

Groves, Gillette and the soldiers continued walking ahead of them. Joseph stood with Barbossa as they waited for them to leave.

"Joseph, you should go on ahead", Joanna said.

"How come, Mama?" he asked.

"Yer mother 'nd I need ta have a talk alone, son", Barbossa answered. "Go with the men."

"We'll be there in a bit, sweetie."

"Okay."

They watched as Joseph ran ahead to catch up with the soldiers. Barbossa turned to face Joanna who was wiping the sweat off her forehead.

"What's wrong with ye?" he asked. "I thought ye wanted ta catch up with Blackbeard so we can kill him?"

"I do", Joanna said. "I do. It's just I'm tired and I'm not feeling well."

"What's wrong? A cold? The flu?"

"It might be heat stroke or something", she answered. "It's hot out here and this dress is too heavy to walk through the jungle in."

"I can take care of that", Barbossa said. "If yer dress was gonna be a problem, ya could've just told me."

He pulled out his sword and grabbed Joanna's skirts. He cut the shirt up to her knees getting rid of the extra weight. Joanna smiled as she took a few step not getting caught on anything. Barbossa chuckled as he put away his sword.

"Thank you, darling", she said.

Joanna wrapped her arm around Barbossa's free arm as they went to catch up with the soldiers. Without any warning, Joanna keeled over and began vomiting.

"I'm so sorry about that", she moaned. "I didn't know that was going to happen."

"Ya sure yer okay?" Barbossa asked.

"I'm sure. I just didn't eat at all today."

"We'll get ya some food once we find some."

Joanna nodded as he helped her up. They continued on their way to the Fountain of Youth.


In a matter of hours, the group reached a dark tunnel filled with thick vines. Gibbs continued to lead the way as everyone pushed the vines out of their way in annoyance.

"Be nice ta have a map by now", Barbossa said directing his statement toward Gibbs.

"Or a ship", Gibbs said back.

"Papa, look", Joseph said pointing to Gibbs.

Barbossa looked and his eyes widened.

"Stop!" he said.

Everyone stopped as he reached into his pocket.

"Hold very still. Ye dare not let it touch yer skin."

He pulled out one of his white gloves and put it on. He reached behind him for a pair of metal tongs which Groves handed to him. Gibbs slowly turned to see what was going on. There was a small toad sitting on his shoulder.

"Papa, can I get this one?" Joseph asked.

"Nay", Barbossa said. "Yer not protected."

He reached the tongs and grabbed the toad before it jumped away. Groves held an open jar letting Barbossa drop the toad inside. Gibbs looked at them confused. What did they need a toad for?

"What?" Barbossa asked. "What be wrong with an older man having a hobby? Or sharing it with his son?"

He turned to Groves and the rest of the soldiers.

"What are ya stopping fer, eh? Push on! Ye can sleep when yer dead. Push on!"

Gibbs and the soldiers continued walking as Barbossa, Joanna and Joseph looked at the toad in the jar.

"Fortune continues to favor us!" Barbossa said.

"Can I hold it, Papa?" Joseph asked.

"Should we let him?" Joanna asked.

"As long as he doesn't open the lid", Barbossa answered.
