HEY EVERYONE!!!! K, so I'm reallllly happy 'cause I have no school for three weeks! No educational stimulus for three, whole, glorious weeks!! Oh man, I'm hyper. Blame that on the candy canes.

Anywho, on with the story.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Land ho!"

Everyone looked up to see a speck of land, not much more than a mere dot, quickly approaching on the horizon.

Alyssa felt Jack's hand slid down to her hips.

"Finally." He said quietly. "Took us long enough." She turned to face him and put her arms around his neck.

"How would you know? You almost never came out of that cabin."

"Oh, but I was going to! But if me memory serves correct, I do believe we got a little…distracted."

"I like distractions." She muttered.

"Who doesn't?" He grinned back at her, gold teeth glinting. She giggled slightly and pressed herself against him.

He kissed her lightly in response, and his tongue entered her mouth, deepening it.

"Um… Captain?" Jack's head shot up to look at the rather uncomfortable Gibbs.

"Aye?"

"We're…um getting ready to drop anchor now."

"Ah, yes. Ye do that." He waved him away and quickly resumed what he was doing.

Alyssa pulled apart first.

"Now Jack, I do believe that we both have things to do."

"I thought we were doing 'em." He made a move for her mouth again, but she stopped him.

"Other things Jack. Ship things." Jack gave her a puppy face.

"Let ol' Jack have a little fun won't ye?" Alyssa rolled her eyes.

"Maybe later Jack. But right now" She poked her finger at his chest, "You need to attend to your ship."

She sauntered away, swaying her hips dramatically.

"Oh now you're just trying to tease me!" He yelled after her.

"Get back to your ship Captain Sparrow!" She waved her hand back at him and entered the cabin.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, after a few selected crew members got to the island, they set out. The jungle was dense, trees and roots blocking almost every direction. The canopy was just the same, making the forest dark.

Monkeys chattered overhead and brightly coloured birds flew about as the branches were slashed so the crowd could pass.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had walking for hours.

"Jack, I swear we've passed that rock before!" Cried Will from near the back.

"How the Hell is it you can tell?" Jack called back, angry that they didn't trust his judgment on this.

"The lad is right though. That thing sure does seem rather familiar…" Everyone stopped to look at the rock, and agreed.

"Oh fine! Maybe we are lost!"

"Wait, did you try to go back the way we came?" No one answered. They all turned and followed their trail, but ended up back at the rock. Alyssa sat down on it and rubbed her feet.

Jack turned the map around in his hands, and took out his compass. It kept spinning around.

"Stupid bloody compass!" He muttered as he shook said object.

"I can't believe you got us lost! What are we supposed to do now?" Will said.

"Well, Mr. Turner, if ye remember exactly which rock it is that we have passed, maybe ye can figure out which way to go!" he shoved the compass at Will. He looked down at the strange object in his hands worriedly, glancing around at the crew. Everyone stared back at him.

"Fine." He turned from the group and closed his eyes. He opened it quickly.

The needle spun a few times before pointing over at Jack.

"What the…?" The crew gathered around and looked at the compass, then at Will, then at Jack.

"Really, William, I am flattered, but-" Alyssa pulled Jack from where he was sitting over to where she was before he could finish. The needle didn't move.

Will let out a relieved breath, and pointed in the direction they were to go. Everyone set out towards their new destination.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will led the way through the jungle till they came to a large cliff. On the left side there was a waterfall, and one the right, many, many caves.

"What was it that you wanted?" Jack asked, looking over his shoulder.

"I don't know! I just went where it pointed!" Everyone scanned over the caves.

"So, which one?" Everyone looked to Will.

"Don't ask me! This thing doesn't say whether to go up or down!" There was a slight pause.

"Well gentlemen and lady, search them all. It's bound to be in one of 'em." everybody got to work, scrambling up the cliff.

"And you said we were lost." Jack muttered to Alyssa.

"And we still are. We're certainly not back at the ship." He stuck his tongue out at her childishly and went to go check a nearby cave.

It didn't take very long to find the right cave. It was the farthest on the right on the second row.

The group all went up to the cavern, eyes widened at what they found.

Gold and other valuables were everywhere, piled high to the roof, and out to each side.

"Ha! I told you it was real!" Jack motioned to the glittering mass.

"No need to rub it in." Alyssa muttered and pushed her way in. She almost immediately tripped, cutting her leg on a rock. "Damn."

Jack helped her up and led her back out.

"You all right?"

"It's not that bad Jack. It's barely cut."

"Still." He wrapped it up in some cloth from inside the cave, and reentered.
