EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"You do realize that damned compass does not point north, right love?" Rozalin commented as she sat on the deck, drenched in sun.

Jack looked at her curiously, and then leered. "Do you have a problem with how I'm running my ship, darling?" "Maybe, but all I want to know is why are you using a compass when it doesn't work." "It's the only way to navigate The Pearl love." he explained, taking another swig of wine. Rozalind sighed and looked out at the sea again seeing she would get no where with Jack. She was really starting to dislike that man. If he could be called that...

Then again he was very handsome......Oh she knew Ady had her eye on him, even if neither wanted to show it. Yes....Ady, she had gotten very irritating lately, too.

Hmmm....

She stood up with an odd look on her face; Jack raised an eyebrow at her.

"Ya know Jack....I could help you steer the ship." She grinned seductively staring at him.

"I'd prefer not to sink today dove, if ya don't mind." his eyes went back to the sea. She cocked an eyebrow. "Exactly why I should be steering and not you." she spat at him before turning on her heel and leaving. Jack grinned after her. "Poor girl can't resist me." he mused to himself. "Or maybe she really is cross with you." Ady gave a small laugh along with her words.

Jack looked over to see Ady with a lop-sided smile on her face.

"She's been a bit cross with me lately as well." She said walking over to Jack at the helm.

"Are you cross with me, love?" He said looking at her.

She smiled, "Maybe," she said softly in his ear, "Depends on whether you stop talking to me and start steering this God forsaken ship or not." she whispered. Jack thought a moment. "You're all going to hell for this you know." She giggled. "No, I think they'd realize I'd take over." "Jack," Will sauntered up to them

"There's a bit of a storm coming, I think we should keep a sharp eye." Will said eyeing the two curiously.

"Yes, well uh good job, continue on then." Jack flailed his arms about.

"Don't get into any trouble." Will whispered in Jack's ear.

Will nodded his head and with one last look at them turned and left. Jack turned back to Ady who was just looking at him as though waiting for him to do something. He cocked an eyebrow.

Suddenly Avelyn came up to them. "Ady, the men say there's an island out a few leagues farther."- Jack cut her off. "Excuse me, I don't believe you're sister's the captain of this ship, is she?" Avelyn looked at him like he had some nerve. She crossed her arms and her hip cocked to one side. "Did I ask for your opinion?"

"You didn't need to I am captain of this ship and you shall treat me as such." Avy narrowed her eyes and looked to her sister for help. "Look, you heard what I said, okay"- Avy sighed. "Avelyn! He is the captain. He may be an awful captain, but he is captain none the less. It's in the code, just do what he says love." her sister told her.

"Right do what I say." He seemed satisfied with this with his arms crossed and a triumphant smile on his face.

"Now go ... uh ... get me ...a drink!"

Avelyn rolled her eyes and walked down the steps.

"We just can't be left alone today can we?" Jack said looking to Ady with a gleam in his eye.

"Why captain, I'd almost think you wanted to be alone with me the way you talk about it." She gave a small grin.

Jack sneered and shimmied closer so they were almost touching.

"Do I now." She smiled, "Oddly enough yes." She walked around so that she was on the other side of the wheel and leaned over. "I'd think after that little incident on that ship the other day you'd be cross with me." she said, innocently. He followed her, "Only slightly love, seeing you in such a bind was rather entertaining actually. But more so was seeing how you got out of it." "Let me remind you Jack, I didn't get out of that, you saved me and then proceeded to mock me." He opened his mouth to say something but closed it when he realized she was quite right. "Guess I owe you for that, huh." she was now right in front of him and looking up at him harmlessly.

"Yes, I suppose you would owe me for that." He was beginning to like how this conversation was going. He was leaning down close to her face.

She walked away from him again turning. Jack's arms reached out after her and his mouth opened slightly, he sighed.

She walked back up to him again.

"I wonder....how I could possibly repay you...." She was leaning into him.

They looked each other in the eye and suddenly the mood got more serious. They leaned into each other and were just about to kiss... When a cold blast of water hit them and sent them, sliding to the other side of the ship. Adelyn stood slowly, wiping the water away from her eyes. The waves were getting so high, they were coming on board. They were both drenched in sea water. Half the crew was laughing at them now. One glare from the two of them sent their faces straight and their hands back to work. "I'm going to get some dry clothes, I'll be right back." she sighed and began trudging down below deck. She emerged minutes later, dry and comfortable. In Jack's clothes. "What are you wearing?" he shouted at her. She stopped and smiled, looking down fondly at the clothes. "You like it? I think it's very comfortable, you have great taste in clothes Jack." she said and then walked past him. He gaped after her, eyes wide. "You...you..." he shook his head and regained his composure. "It's Captain Jack if you don't mind." "Umm, Captain..." Will called from the stern as the waves started getting even larger. "Maybe I do." she answered with an attitude and then kept walking. He ran after, grabbing her arm and turning her to face him. Lightning struck not half a mile off, thunder cracking in it's wake as the storm brewed. "Look, I don't care if you saunter around like you own this ship because when it comes down to it you don't! I'm the captain and you're not. You're part of the crew"- She yanked her arm away. "I am not apart of your crew and neither are my girls, the only reason we're on this ship is because we want to be and because you didn't want to be shot, I'm sure your feelings on that matter haven't changed." she threatened. He got closer to her. "Captain!" Will shouted again in a vain attempt to get his attention. "If you're not apart of MY crew then maybe you shouldn't be on MY ship." "If you really feel that way then maybe by tomorrow morning, it shant be YOUR ship!" she screamed. "Captain!" He was about to respond when another wave hit them both, sending them over board. ~~~ Adelyn's eyes fluttered open to see a giant sand crab waving its claw at her.

She gasped and stood, panting. Ady looked around, the sun glaring in her eyes.

"Where in God's bloody name.?" she thought out loud.
