On the Misty Lady...
Teague sat in his cabin, reading a book while keeping an eye on Johnny, who was busily writing on a sheet of paper. Teague had decided that making Johnny write 'I will treat others the way I want to be treated.' a thousand times will be punishment enough. Not to mention it was very entertaining for him to watch.
Just then, Barbossa walked in. "Teague, we have a problem."
"We've been having problems for a while, Hector." Teague said. "Your daughter cross dresses, my son married your daughter, my other son is trying, very poorly, to killing them, what could the new-"
"There's a six year old lass on the Pearl." Barbossa said, before turning to Johnny.
Teague rolled his eyes, turning to Johnny. "You kidnaped a six year old?"
Johnny raised his hands. "I have no use for a six year old."
"Who said you can stop writing?" Teague said. Johnny quickly went back to writing. Teague sighed, turning to Barbossa. "Mind sending Mr. Gibbs over? I want this boy to stay in here."
A few minutes later, on the Pearl...
Barbossa walked into the Captain's Cabin, followed by Teague. Inside was a little six year old girl with fair skin, soft almost white hair, and big bright green eyes. She was wearing a fine white linen dress in the Ancient Egyptian style, a pair of leather sandals, and several pieces of Ancient Egyptian jewelry. She was playing with a wooden toy mouse that had a string which, when pulled, would make the toy move and tail to move up and down. Teague leaned over to Barbossa. "Are you sure she's from the current century?" He whispered.
Barbossa shrugged. "I haven't the-"
The little girl suddenly ran over and hugged Teague. "I knew you'd come!" She said, snuggling closer to him.
Teague carefully pushed the girl away. "Lass, I think you're-"
"I am not mistaken." The little girl said, pouting slightly. "You're Captain Teague, Keeper of the Pirata Codex. Your ship's name is the Misty Lady. You have three sons and a daughter." She then smirked. "You like cats."
"Who are you?"
"I am Bastet, daughter of the Sun God, Re." She said. "Though you all know me by a name I've honestly grown to love."
"And that is?"
The little girl placed her hand on the Wadjet Eye pendant on her necklace, which started to glow. She then started shrinking, and changing. When the glowing stopped, the little girl had transformed into a little, fluffy, white kitten.
Barbossa picked up the kitten. "You're Juliet?"
She meowed happily, before wiggling out of Barbossa's hands and jumping down to the floor as the glowing started again. Pretty soon, she was a girl again. "Yes. I'd love it if you'd keep calling me Juliet."
Teague looked at the ivory smoking pipe in his left hand. 'Today is the last day I'm using this.' He thought, before tossing it out the open window.
Just then, they heard shouting. Teague and Barbossa walked out on deck, and saw the Flying Dutchman approaching. Teague sighed. "Bloody hell, as if things weren't bad enough."
Later, in the Captain's Cabin of the Misty Lady...
Teague sat at the table with Jack, Johnny, Andy, and Delila. Andy was Delila were quietly talking about the food. Everyone else was eating in silence. Jack and Johnny were glaring at each other. Teague rolled his eyes. "Johnny, anything you want to say to Jackie?"
Johnny smirked. "Your wife's annoying and-"
"At least I have a wife." Jack pointed out. "I doubt any woman would even consider sleeping with someone dumb enough to name his ship after a dung beetle." Pretty soon, they were standing up, ready to fight.
"Boys!" Teague shouted. "If you're gonna fight, take it outside! Just don't be surprised to find yourselves in the brig." He watched as the men sat down. 'This is going to be a long night.'
In the Captain's Cabin of the Pearl...
Barbossa ate dinner with Alex. The two of them were also silent. Alex then looked up at Barbossa. "So, you're my Da."
"Yes."
"I'm guessing you don't approve of my marriage to Jack."
Barbossa sighed. "You're a grown woman. I trust you to make your own decisions. Even if they are not what I'd choose for you."
Alex smiled at Barbossa. "So you're not mad?"
"No. I know Jack very well. Well enough to know that, though he's had a lot of experience with women, he respects them. He's one of the few men who would treat a woman like his equal." Barbossa said, already finished with his dinner.
Alex nodded, as she finished her dinner. She then grabbed the plates. "I'll bring these down."
Barbossa watched as Alex left, before walking over to a chest. He opened the chest and pulled out a burgundy gown. He sighed, remembering Elizabeth wearing the same gown. 'Mrs. Turner was about the same age as Alex when she wore this.' He thought. 'She's actually not much older now.'
When Alex back to the cabin, Barbossa had already left. On the table was the burgundy gown with a note on top. She picked up the note. "'Even if I haven't known you for that long, you're still my little girl.'"
Alex smiled, picking up the gown...
The next morning...
When Jack got back to the Captain's Cabin, Alex was sitting on the bed, wearing the burgundy gown and talking to Barbossa. "Da, I am not accepting the monkey as my brother."
"Well he is, whether you like it or not." Barbossa said, leaning against the wall while using a knife to carve into a round piece of wood. He was craving in what would be the 'stem' of the 'apple'. They ran out of apples the night before...
"I am not calling an undead monkey my little brother."
"Will getting that curse lifted off of him change your mind?"
"Can't." Jack said. "That island went pear-shaped and sank." He then thought of something. "Barbossa, you're alright with Alex marrying me?"
"What choice do I have?" Barbossa asked flatly. "I want my daughter to be happy, even if that means-"
Suddenly, Andy ran in. "Alex, you're back!"
Alex gave Andy a confused look. "Do I know you?"
Barbossa rolled his eyes at Andy. "Your sister has never seen you without that wig?"
"Andy?" Alex said. "You have brown hair?"
Andy nodded. "Anthony wouldn't allow me to leave my room without my wig." He said. "Hated that thing. It got hot-"
"I know." Jack said. "And those wigs do itch."
Andy gave Jack a confused look. "You were-"
Jack smirked, affectionately stroking the wall. "Beckett paid for this beauty."
"And then you sold your soul for her thirteen years ago." Barbossa added, rolling his eyes. "Not your greatest idea."
Jack shrugged. "And I would've gotten out of that sooner if you hadn't marooned me."
Alex rolled her eyes. "Oh goodness!" She said, getting up. "Can't you two try to-"
Suddenly, Alex was on her knees. Jack kneeled down to her. "Luv, are you dizzy?"
Alex shook her head, before looking up at Jack and Barbossa. The look on her face was a mix of shock, confusion, and horror. "I can't...feel my legs."
I was thinking about having Juliet be Bastet for a while...but I wasn't sure until the reviews came about Johnny killing her (I didn't realize that cat had fans...)
One of my best friends (AKA: the person I'm always talking to on Yahoo! IM) went out of town, leaving me nothing to do but type with a cat trying (very sucessfully) to get my undivided attention. Now I'm 12 chapters ahead of what I'm posting...
Just as a warning: I finished chapter 30 the other day...I may need to change the rating of this story...that is the chapter that gives me chills...
I also started on my Author's Note for the end...
