Chapter 5: A New Day
Kit woke up the next morning, with the sunlight streaming into her eyes. She suddenly gasped and sat straight up.
"Damnit! I overslept!" she mumbled angrily as she jumped out of her bed.
~
"Oh god . . ." Faye mumbled as she turned over in her bed. She yawned and got up, dressing and making sure to tie her golden hair back.
"A new day!" she muttered excitedly. There was a sudden knock at the door, as Will's voice came to her ears.
"Faye? Are you up?" he asked behind the door.
"Yes!" she called out.
"Well, come on! Jack is angry that you and Kit overslept!"
"Coming!" She rushed over to the door and flung it open, revealing Will on the other side. They hastened to get above deck.
~
Kit ran onto the deck, her dark, loose hair flying.
"Jack?" she called out, scanning the deck for him.
"Right here, love," he said right behind her. She spun around and came face to face with him. Faye came into sight along with Will on deck.
"Sorry Jack!" Faye said as she came over to him.
Kit nodded. "We didn't mean to oversleep!"
Jack looked at them both before cocking an eyebrow. "I expect more of you in the future, Faye. And as for Kit, let's just make this strike one. Now the two o' ye can head down to the galley. Elizabeth made breakfast."
'Oh lord, she's still here?' thought Faye with slight dislike. She rolled her eyes and headed towards the galley. Kit ran after her.
"So," she said a bit cheerfully, "What d'you think so far?"
Faye thought for a moment before replying, "Intriguing."
~
"So, Willy boy, how do you find this lil' adventure to be goin' so far?" Jack asked Will, watching the two pirate lasses disappear from sight.
"Most interesting . . ."
* * *
"Ah, nothing like swabbin' the poop deck!" Faye exclaimed as she held her mop.
Kit stood a small distance away from her with her own mop, grumbling. "I should be at the wheel, damnit!"
Elizabeth sat a little ways off, mending torn sails. "Watch your mouth, Kit! I swear, you're just like Jack!"
Kit looked up from her mop, regarding her. "And that's a bad thing?"
"Yes!"
Faye mumbled in Kit's ear, "I know what you mean. Instead, Elizabeth gets to prance around in a dress while we do the labor . . ."
"I do not!" Elizabeth insisted, clearly having caught those words. "I do work, too!"
"Oh yeah?" Faye raised an eyebrow at her. "I'd like to see you try this." She indicated to the mop.
"What? Swab the deck?" asked Elizabeth with uncertainty.
"Yep. You're a pirate now, love; 'tis in the job description."
Elizabeth looked a little appallingly at the mop before getting up and grabbing it out of Faye's hand. Kit smiled amusedly.
Elizabeth looked between the two female pirates. "Now what?"
"Ye swab! Savvy?" Kit told her exasperatedly.
"Now let's see how long ye can last . . ." Faye thought out loud.
Elizabeth looked down to the mop and began cleaning the deck, wrinkling her nose.
Kit grinned as she made her way towards the helm where Jack was talking to Will.
"Oy! Kit, come back! Don't leave me with her!" Faye cried out desperately, before muttering, "Bloody pirate . . ."
Elizabeth frowned. "I can be a good pirate too, you know."
Faye snorted. "Sure lass, sure."
"I just need some . . . practice . . ."
"I'll believe it when I see it," was all Faye said.
"Fine!" Elizabeth shouted, shoving the mop back into Nev's hands. "YOU swab the deck!" And with that she huffed off.
"I will!" Faye called back to her and she began to laugh.
~
"So Captain, we should reach Tortuga 'round tomorrow, shall we?" Kit asked Jack. Will had been dismissed, and was now working on the lower deck. Jack nodded.
"Aye, we shall, Kit."
"Hey Captain? How 'bout I steer for a while?" There was a glimmer of mischievousness in her dark eyes as she looked at him. He smiled.
"I don't see why not." He stepped aside so that Kit could grasp the wooden wheel, grinning as she did so.
"Ah . . . Much better."
~
"Why don't I like her?" Faye wondered out loud.
"Don't like who?"
Faye spun around and found Will standing next to her. "Oh! Will! Er, no one, just amusin' meself."
He looked suspiciously at Faye before nodding. "Alright then."
"So . . . What did Jack . . . I mean, the Captain have to say?"
"Oh . . ." Will smiled. "He was just wondering whether I planned to find a lass in Tortuga . . ." He chuckled.
Faye smiled. "Ah, ye won't be havin' any trouble there, mate. The place is full o' women!"
Will frowned slightly. "Yes . . . But I do not fancy myself a whore, to tell you the truth . . ."
Faye nodded. "Figures. That's how ye found yerself Elizabeth, I imagine. Definitely doesn't fit that description . . ."
"Nope." Will looked out to the sea, gleaming in the morning sun.
Faye leaned against her mop. "So then, what type of women ARE ye lookin' for?"
"Oh, I don't know . . ." Will began. "A strong lass, one who could defend herself. And come aboard on the Pearl with me, of course . . ."
"Of course."
Will sighed. "But I doubt that I can find one."
"Oh, yeah I agree. 'Tis a hard match to find." She then turned around and went back to swabbing the deck.
* * *
Later on that day Kit walked up to Faye, who was leaning on the railing and staring out at the water. Faye spoke first.
"The waves always calm me . . . But today they're different."
Kit nodded in agreement. "Aye . . . I'm getting that same feeling."
"Today things are gonna change for good or worse . . . All I can say is . . . When we get to Tortuga, if someone doesn't kill you know who I will . . ." She pointed towards Elizabeth who was merrily sewing.
A/N: Alright, there is gonna be adventure and all that good stuff coming up soon, and the beginnin's of a treasure hunt . . .
Nev: Don't go givin' it away!!
Pip: What?! I'm not! It was in the summary, fer cryin' out loud!
Nev: *rolls eyes*
