A/N: I don't know if I'm fully committed to writing and completing this
story, tell me, by way of reviewing, if I should continue it. Any other
comments and tips would be greatly appreciated! R & R! Thanks!

Jack looked out onto the murky ocean waters from behind the wheel. The waters were beginning to get choppy, and he was fighting fatigue. The clouds behind the Pearl were dark and threatening. "Oh, fun." He thought to himself. He always liked challenges.
Rain began to fall from the sky, slowly at first, then harder with increasing speed and pressure. One by one, his crew began to file out onto the deck. Jack began yelling orders in preparation for the storm. Everyone was struggling to say on board as water began rushing over the edges, sweeping people along with them.
Meanwhile, below deck, Cat used her strength to spring herself from her confinement. "Haha, the perfect distraction." She thought to herself. She climbed aboard, pulling her hair back into a ponytail. She quickly found the Captain's rooms and let herself inside.
Thunder echoed in the crew's ears. Lightning flashed nearby. Jack was still at the wheel, struggling to keep the ship under is control. The black sails were closed and the anchors lowered. Suddenly, the ship gave a sickening lurch as a huge wave crashed into it. A man known as Cep, went flying over the edge of the boat. Gibbs, already knowing what Jack might do, took charge of the wheel. Jack flinging his hat and effects to the nearest sailor, tied a rope to his waist and dived toward where the man was last seen before he was pulled under. Cep was slowly floating toward the bottom of the ocean, unconscious from hitting his head on a log in the water. Jack grabbed the body and plunged up towards the surface. Right on time, the crew began pulling on the rope, heaving the two men back up. When they were almost there, the rope began to snap from the amount of weight. Jack threw Cep onto the deck of the ship just as the rope snapped. Jack grabbed the railing and flung himself over. Then he laughed.
"Let's do that again!!" He said, lying on his back.

Cat heard laughter. She crept out of the Captain's cabin and towards the main deck. She stood for a moment, remembering a time when she could laugh..
"Come to join us, eh?" Jack smiled at her.
"He's got a great smile." She found herself thinking. "No, Cat. You have a job to do." She smiled sweetly back at him before carrying herself back to the hold.

Jack returned to his cabin after he made sure the boat was okay. He received a letter from his friend Will Turner while he was at port, but had not had time to read it. He slit open the fancy envelope and tossed it aside. Inside he found what looked like an invitation and a letter. He read the letter first.
Jack,
How is life on the Pearl, I mean finally being 'captain' and all? Elizabeth and I continue to thank you eternally for your help. We are to be married in a month. Will you be so kind as to come to our wedding? The invitation is also enclosed in this letter.
I heard about your latest adventures with the crew. You need to find yourself a girl, Jack. Or, perhaps you've already found one and are incapable of wooing her..? Haha, sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll write again soon.
Will
Jack smiled to himself. "Well it's about time." He thought to himself, not sure whether he was talking about Will and Elizabeth's marriage or that he needed a girl.
