Chappy 3: Captain.

"I am Mara Avice, once Captain of the Firebird, which sank and I guess I'm the only survivor." Mara admitted with a heavy sigh and a solemn voice. "I thank ye kindly for savin' me outta the water."

"It was no trouble, lass. But, if ye don't mind me inquirin', how exactly did yer ship sink?"

"Fire."

"Oh, ahaha, yes now ye can stop with the antics, tell me how it really sank, I mean, come on, yer trickin' me, cuzz yer boats name was the Fire."

"Mr. Sparrow, it was not a boat, it was a ship. And I am not trickin' ye, we got caught in a storm and our main mast got struck by lightning. I told the crew to abandon ship but they refused me orders in order to save the ship and me own life. The mast fell over and killed some men, then caught the rest of the ship on fire. Then the stupid buffoons decided it was time to abandon ship. And so, I did too, and held onto a piece of wood that had fallen off the ship. Not shortly after, I became very cold and lost consciousness, for what reason I do not know. But now, here I be, in yer cabin, in yer clothes and I got no idea of how I got here."

Jack was amazed at her story. A ship struck by lightning, its rare but he knows it to be true. He stumbled for words.

"Uh, well, me crew found ye and pulled ye from the water. umm, but now, yer gonna need some food." Jack then again was looking for the right thing to say in front of this female captain, who, as he thought, we beautiful beyond words. "Please, uh, Miss." *DAMN. Imma captain and I should be ordering her around. No couldn't call her captain that would make her all mad.* "Miss Mara Avice, would ye please follow."

"I am a Captain, Mr. Sparrow and I would very much appreciate it if you called me by that title." Her hand hovered near his face. If he got slapped he definitely didn't deserve it.

"No need for all the fuss, luv." He said waving his hands in the air. "Captain Mara Avice, please follow me. I got meself a whole hull full. aye that rhymes, I be good at rhymes."

"Go on Mr. Sparrow."

"That's Captain Sparrow, miss."
"We're gonna hafta have a chat about this Captain business."

"Yes, yes we are, now aren't we, Captain Avice?" Jack said in his mocking tone of voice. She didn't pay any mind to it; she just crossed her arms and stood there. "Well, as I be sayin', I gotta lot of food and yer gonna need food. Now why don't ye just follow me and get some nice food an' after we can 'ave a 'chat' 'bout bein' a Captain, savvy?" He replied in his famous, almost one breath sort of speech voices.

Jack turned and walked a few paces and then looked back at her to see if she would follow him. She did and he led her onto the deck. There, the men were already eating and they stopped what they were doing and looked at her. She noticed some just stared but most gave her a wink or a grin, showing off their gold teeth. She was unafraid by this, of course, she was a Captain herself and had a crew just like this one.

Now, Captain Jack Sparrow, with all his knowledge in the world, noticed this. *Hmmm, well, unafraid, that can be good, but she might take advantage of me crew, her being a Captain and all. AYE NO!!! Hey, yer the captain around here, stop thinkin' bout that.*

"Mateys, this is *cough* Captain *cough* Mara Avice. She be joinin' our crew now's. I don' want no fuss over her and I want ye all to be nice and kind to her, savvy?" Jack announced to his crew. He turned to Gibbs. "Gibbs, me first matey, go and get Mizz Mara some bread and water."

"Aye, Captain, I will." And with that Gibbs went off to find some food.

"OK, now, Mizz Mara, yer gonna stay out here an' eat food and be a crew member. I want ye to do want the crew tells ye to do and I don' want no fuss. Meanwhile, I'll be asleep in me cabin." Jack tipped his hat and turned toward his cabin. *I don' wanna be bothered right now. I'm just tired. even though she is perty. hey stop think bout her and her pertyness!!!*

"Jack Sparrow!!! Ye told me that we was gonna have a talk! An' ye just can't be leaving me out 'ere! Imma Captain and ye know it and I deserve a bed too!" Mara screamed after him.

He grumbled the word Captain at her and kept walking to his cabin.

"I heard that Sparrow. I don' care if ye are a captain!"

"An' I don' care if ye are a captain too. Yer on me ship and while yer on me ship yer gonna follow me orders. Yer under me command now, missy, an' when I tell's to stay out 'ere yer gonna do it. Savvy?" And with that he turned and slammed his door behind him.

"JACK SPARROW!!!" Mara yelled in frustration.

"That Captain, Missy, get it right." She heard him say behind the door.

"ARGH!!!!!!"
