Hey!

Writing this chapter was hell! I thought that I was never goign to make it! I wrote one bit one day and when I was going to click save it said that I needed to log in again so it could be saved. At first I was like 'well at least it will be saved as I log in.' Then when I did loged in it took me to the main page. I was like 'Oh no. Please tell me it got saved!' I checked the documents, it said in the Life section that it had 60 day's left. I went that mabie it did got saved but still wanted to make sure. When I opened it, IT WASN'T SAVED!! What I had writen that day, blank. I almost killed the computer!! Well more the desk (poor thing didn't do anything) I hit it really hard that a small wooden ship that I built fell down. Then this story repeated for a couple of times including when I was trying to write this.

Well I needed to get that off of my chest. Now I'm better :) heheh. Now on with the chapter!!

WAIT! hold on (grabbs the desk) ... It has been a long time that I don't do a disclaimer!! :O here it is: I don't own Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow, Gibbs, Barbossa, Johnny Depp, Gore Verbinski, Ted Elliot, Tery Rosio, Anamaria, Elizabeth, The Black Pearl (takes deep breath) or any of those people, characters or ships. The rest I do own it :)

ENJOY!

Chap. 25: Next Destination

Arabella felt some one jumping on her bed where she was sleeping with Elizabeth. Thank god that the bed was big enought for the two of them. Arabella was starting to get pissed off.

-"What?" -she grunted under the sheet's.

-"Mama said that I should wake you up if you want breakfast." -said John.

Arabella opened her eyes. She saw the boy sitting next to her and staring at her with big beautifull dark eyes and balck hair almost reaching to his eyes. He sure look's a little bit like Jack She thought.

-"Breakfast soon will be cold if you don't hury!" -John said excited jumping a little bit on the bed.

-"Fine, but stop jumping or you'll wake up Elizabeth."

-"Who?"

Arabella looked next to her in the bed and saw that no one was there.

-"Nevermind. She already woke up. Give me a minute and I'll be out."

Johnathan smiled and left the room. Arabella left the bed and searched for her clothes with her blanket covering her body. A knock came from the door.

-"Who is it?" -asked Arabella.

-"It's Ana."

-"Come in."

Anamria entered as if looking for something.

-"Is Johnathan here?"

-"He just left. Didn't you send him to wake me up for breakfast?"

-"No I - HE WHAT?! HE WOKE YOU UP?!"

-"Yeah but I don't mind I was goign to wake up any-"

-"Wait 'till I get 'im!" -said Anamaria opening the door to leave. Just when she was to step outside the boy rand from one direction to another laughing.- "COME BACK HERE YA LITTLE BRAT! YOU ARE JUST LIKE YER FATHER!" -she screamed running after him as soon as she saw him.

Like father, like son. Thought Arabella rolling her eyes while closing the door shut behind.

--

Arabella found Elizabeth playing with Johnathan while Anamaria fixed a shirt of him. She saw that John and Elizabeth were sword fighting with wooden swords. A cuple of times Elizabeth faked that he tricked her. Arabella smiling went to them. She could feel the brese on her face and hear the sound of the waves hitting the hull of the ship.

-"Aaaah!" -screamed Elizabeth.- "You cheated!"

Johnathan giggled.

-"That's because I'm a pirate, soldier!" -said Johnathan pointing the sword to Elizabeth's neck.

-"John, c'me 'ere." -said Anamaria. She took his shirt off and putted the another one.

-"Maaaaa. I want to keep on playing. I don't wana do this." -grunted Johnathan.

-"Ye know that we don't have money ta buy you new clothes, so fer now we keep on fixing the one that we already have. Do I make myself clear?"

-"Yes, mama"

As soon as Arabella stopped next to them his face changed and hold a giggle.

-"Now John," -said Anamaria after finishing putting his shirt.- "What do you have ta say t' Mrs. Smith."

-"I'm sorry. Promise I won't do it again, missus." -Johnathan grunted.

-"It's all right." -said Arabella- "Anyways I needed someone to wake me up before the breakfast got cold." -she ruffled his hair.

Johnathan smiled. Anamaria let him go back to the game with Elizabeth. Arabella sat down next to Anamaria watching how she folded the other shirt that Johnathan was wearing. Then Anamaria kept on looking at the game between Elizabeth and Johnathan. There was the silence between Arabella and Anamaria. The silence was only filled by the waves hitting the hull of the ship, the wind blowing the sails and the laughterand screams of Johnathan and Elizabeth.

-"Sorry to ask you this," -said Arabella braking the silence between them both- "that is IF it bothers you, but how did you met Jack?"

-"I don't mind." -said Anamaria without looking away from the game.- "It's good that you know since me and Jack are in 'bit of trouble and we both asked the both of ye fer help and advice." -Anamaria sighted before continuing.- "T' tell ye the truth, I don't remember very well how I met 'im. It was a odd way how we met. I know that we were at a tavern in a different island. He had shorter hair by that time and mabie less stuff 'round his hair. That is all I can say. Really, I don't remember very well. It was so many years ago."

-"It's all right."

-"Ye can ask him if ye like. Just pray tha' he doesn't get mad when ye ask 'im."

-"I will."

-"An' don't belive every word he say's. He likes ta-"

-"To add a lie here and there to his story."

-"Aye."

They both laughed. Then Elizabeth sat next to the other side of Anamaria.

-"Your boy sure know's how to fight." -said Elizabeth tierd of many running, sreaming and laughing.- "Did you taught him?"

-"Yes an' he has learned from other people he has meet." -replied Anamaria grabbing Johnathan's arm- "Isn't that right lad?"

-"Yes mama."

-"Gimme a kiss."

Johnathan did as he was told. Then Anamraia let him go. She was smiling as she saw him leave her arm.

-"The two of you look so happy together." -said Arabella.

-" 'Cause he's my child that I alway wanted." -said Anamaria.

-"From the man you love?" -asked Elizabeth.

Anamaria's smile faded. Arabella hit her forehead witht the palm of her hand. Nice one, Beth! Now you're the one who will figure out who to fix this one! Anamaria looked at her hands on her lap. The silence between them was awkward for Arabella. They heard someone walking to them. When Arabella looked up, it was Mr. Gibbs.

-"Mrs. Smith." -he said standing next to her.

-"Please call me Arabella or Bell." -said Arabella.

-"Very well. The Cap'n want's ta speak with ye."

-"Does it have to be now?"

-"Aye."

-"Tell him to give me two minutes and I'll be there."

Before Gibb's was able to leave and give the message Jack screamed from the cabin in the other side of the ship.

-"Now, Missy!" -he screamed- "I need ye now!"

-"Well then hold your horses!" -she screamed back at him.

-"Wot horses? Fer as long as I know, I don't 'ave any horse or horses."

-"Asshole."

-"Aye! I do have a hole in my ass. Wait. Do ye mean tha' I should search for me horse there?"

Arabella rolled her eyes while Anamaria wasn't paying attention to what was going on and Elizabeth was holding a laugh.

-"It'll be dificult ta search a horse there, missy."

-"Oh shut up. Just give me two minutes."

-"Two minutes." -he smirked and went back inside the cabin.

Arabella sighted and gave a small laugh. Then she looked at Anamaria who was still looking at her hands. Elizabeth was looking at Anamaria with woried eyes.

-"Ye best be going b'fore he get's mad." -finaly said Anamaria.

-"But Ana-"

-"Go."

With that Arabella stood up and looked at Elizabeth. Arabella was able to get Elizabeth's attention and she mouthed to her;

-"You, figure out how to fix this." -mouthed Arabella

-"Fix what?" -Elizabeth mouthed back

-"Look at her! You asked her if it was from the man she loved!" -Arabella left them.

When she reached the cabin door, just when she was bout to knock, It burst open and Jack was about to go out. He stopped dead when he saw her standing there. Jack moved aside to let her pass. Arabella crossed her arms accros her chest. She heard Jack close the door as soon as she entered. She turned and looked at him.

-"I tried ta search me ass but it's really dificult ta look there." -Jack spoke first smiling.

Arabella gave a small laugh and roleld her eyes.

-"Moron." -she said.- "What is it that you want from me?"

-"Let's make a deal."

-"It depends."

-"Elizabeth can help Ana and ye can help me."

-"Why me and not Elizabeth or both of us?"

-"Lizzie is married and Ana is the one with a child-"

-"It's your's too!!"

-"I know, i know. But Ana is the one who has known him better than me. Elizabeth is married an' she know's 'ow ta deal with her and ye can help me since I don't 'ave much experience in this an' mabie you too. Do ye get what I mean?"

-"Stupid answer." -Arabella sight and rolled her eyes.- "Fine. But this deal will end as soon as everything is resolved and you don't need my help anymore."

-"Agreed!" -he extended his hand.

Arabella looked at it for a moment and then she took it.

-"Agreed." -They shook hands. Once they let go Arabella asked- "What is our next destination? I mean, as in, when and where is our next stop or port?"

-"Either by t'morrow morning or evning we may be arriving t' Cabo Rojo, Porto Rico."

-"Where's that? Can you show me in one of those maps that you use?"

-"Aye." -he said searching for a chart- "Ye don't know where it is?"

-"Oh of course I do! I'm alway's sailing around the world. That's my passion." -she said sarcastically.

Jack laughed while takeing out a chart and opening it in the table. He signaled to Arabella to go next to him. He pointed with a finger to a small island. Smaller than the Hispaniola and bigger than Saint Thomas.

-"This is Porto Rico." -he said. Then he removed that chart and below was another one. It had a bigger image of Puerto Rico. He pointed to a corner of the island in the Southwest.- "An' were going 'ere. Cabo Rojo."

-"What does Cabo Rojo means?"

-"Cabo they use it for the ropes. Rojo is red. So it'll be Red Rope. Don't ask me why is called like that an' blame the Spanish pirates or just the Spanish navy."

-"It still was named by pirates." -said Arabella looking closer to the chart.- "But weren't we going to Florida to search for that Fountain of yours."

-"First, the Fountain of Youth isn't mine. Second, yes were going t' La Florida. An' thirdly, before I continue ta search fer that thing, I must meet an' old friend of mine."

-"Who?"

-"Captain Roberto Cofresí. Good man. Good Pirate."

Roberto! I MUST call him. -"I think that I've heard of him. I'm not sure."

-"Then ye will meet him as soon as we reach there."

-"O.K. And once we reach that place, can we get new clothes?"

-"We?"

-"Yeah. Lizzie, Ana, John and me."

-"Lizzie I understand but why the rest of ye?"

-"Ana and John because they've been with the same two or three pair of clothes for the past year. Me, becaue I feel that one day when I bend to grab something on the floor or sit down it may rip somewhere. You and Barbossa baught this dress exactly my size, so I'll definetly be needing a different one."

Jack sighted. He sat on the chair, put his feet up in the table and fanned himself with his hat.

-"I'll see what I can do, luv"

-"What you can do? You'll see waht you can do!? You're- ...how- ... Oh for get it. My job here is done." -she turned and went to the door to leave.

Just when she opened it Jack said;

-"Wait." - and she stopped to look at him.

-"What else do you need?"

Jack looked at her. He ignored her question.

-"Ye sure we havent meet b'fore?"

-"Well we saw each other yesterday and the day before an-"

-"No, that's not wot I meant. I mean b'fore I rescude ye."

-"Why do you keep asking this? Yes I'm sure that we havent meet before you rescued me the other day!"

-"Uhummm." -was all he said and looked down at the floor.

-"What keep's bothering you that you keep asking me if we have meet before?"

-"Noth'n. Ye just remind me of some one I meet a very long time ago."

-"Well I'm not that person." -she turned to leave but stopped and turned to look at him again and asid- "Oh and one more thing."

Jack looked at her again waiting for her to continue.

-"On my opinion," -she continued- "and probably Elizabeth agrees with me, but you should go out there and talk to Anamaria, ask her to forgive you, meet your son and see how everything goes."

-"But-"

-"But nothing. We agreed that I would help you so I'm sugesting you to go and speak with her."

Jack got disapointed and sat on his chair in silence as Arabella left the cabin. Once outside Arabella went straight to Elizabeth and Anamaria who were still talking and they both looked better than before. When Arabella aproached they stopped talking and looked up at her.

-"Am I interrupting something? If I am tell me so I can leave." -asked Arabella

-"Oh no." -said Elizabeth- "We were just talking."

-"Sit" -said Anamaria putting a hand next to her to signal Arabella that she could sit on that place.- "What did he told you?"

-"He wanted to make a stupid agreement. I help him and Lizzie here, help's you."

-"Why? In what?" -they asked at the same time.

-"I asked him that and he gave me a stupid explanation that at the same time it didn't have reason."

-"Yup that's Jack all right" -said Anamaria.

-"So all this time and it was just for that?" -asked Elizabeth.

-"Not really. I asked him when is our next port. He said sometime tomorrow in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico."

-"Why there?" -asked Anamaria.

-"He said that he needed to meet an old friend named Roberto."

-"Roberto Cofresí?

-"Yeah him."

Then silence between the three of them for a short moment.

-"Do you think-" -said Anamaria- "Do you think that he'll leave me there if we don't speak to each other?"

-"I don't think so." -said Arabella- "Trust me. He will talk to you some time during this day."

-"How do you know?"

-"We talked." -Arabella you liar! you actually didn't talk much about that!

Silence again.

-"Look who's out of his cave." -said Elizabeth in a low voice.

Arabella and Anamaria looked to where Elizabeth was looking. Jack was out side of his cabin talking to one of his new crew members.

-"If you think that he'll come here," -said Anamaria turning her head and looking now at Elizabeth.- "then ye're wrong. Trust me, I've known him fer years."

Anamria saw that Elizabeth was looking up at some one behind her. When she looked she saw that it was Jack standing there looking back at her.

-"Ana, luv." -he said without looking away.- "May I 'ave a word with ye in private."

so what do you think? I'm not sure If to post the next chapter today, or tonight after trick-or-treating, but we'll see. ;)

I wasn't sure if to put the Asshole part. So I asked to tons and tons of my friends what they think (some of them ARE reading the story and some aren't). They all said "Yes!! It's hilarious!" So I left it :)

Probably many of you are asking who is Roberto Cofresí. I didn't made him up. Of course, I allready putted that he's from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico and he's a pirate. He's the best known pirate in Puerto Rico. He is better known as "El Pirata Cofresí". There are many legends and myths of him, his hidden treasures and of cursed hidden treasures. He had a ship called "El Mosquito"... yeah random and funny on my opinion. He is also known in Dominican Replublic which they named a town or city (not sure) in honor/memory of him. He died when he was only 34 years old (of course pirates didn't live that long) when the Spanish Navy capture him one time and he and other members of his crew where executed by a firing squad.

well...I hope you like it! review! :D

And Happy Halloween!!!
