Chapter 9: An Argument

Faye rolled over in her bed and yawned.

"Is it morning already?" she asked no one in particular as she looked at the window, the golden sunlight pouring in. She sat up and ran her fingers through her knotted hair.

"Oh no, Jack's gonna skin me!" she burst out suddenly and jumped up, dressing quickly.

Kit yawned on her bed, eyes still closed. "Hope I didn't sleep in again . . ." She sat up and looked towards the window, stretching. "Bloody hell, I did!"

There was a knocking at the door, as Kit jumped a little and asked, "Who is it?"

"Get up already!" came Jack's voice from the other side of the door.

"Coming!" she called out as she stood up and tried to get dressed as fast as she could, which resulted by her landing on the floor. "OW!"

"What are you doing in there, woman?" Jack asked incredulously.

"Trying to get dressed!" she yelled back.

She finally opened the door, fully clothed, and faced Jack. "'Ello, Captain!"

"Don't you 'ello Captain' me," Jack responded, looking a bit sternly at her. "Kit, that's the second time! See that it doesn't happen again!"

"No Jack, it won't!" she said hastily.

"Alright then, get to work!"

She ran past him onto the deck, leaving him standing there shaking his head.

Faye walked out on deck and spotted Will near the railing. She smiled and walked over to him. He turned around and saw her.

"Good morning, Faye," he said cheerfully.

"Well you're in a good mood, aren't ye?" she asked him with one eyebrow raised. "Ye get laid last night or something?"

Will's expression turned into a frown. "Um, no . . ."

"Oh, too bad, thought that ye picked up a woman." She winked at him.

He shook his head. "Nope . . ." He turned his attention to the sea spread out around the ship, gleaming in the morning sun.

"Is something wrong?" she asked him.

"Oh no, nothing's wrong. Why?"

"Oh I dunno, you just seam a bit down is all. It's not Lizzy, is it?"

Just then Elizabeth walked up on deck, spotting them and walking over.

"Speak of the devil . . ." Faye murmured.

"Good morning, you two!" she said cheerfully.

"Mornin'," replied Faye. "So . . . Ready for another day aboard the infamous Pearl?"

"Oh yeah, and I get to start it by making breakfast, lucky me . . ."

Will laughed slightly at her comment as Faye giggled. Kit came over, carrying two crates in her arms that needed to be transported to the other side of the ship. "What's with all the laughing?"

"Oh nothing," Faye told her as she began to walk with her. "Just a little chat."

"Oh?" Kit asked her, but before she could utter any more words she tripped on a loose rope as she and the two crates went flying. "AHH!" she yelled as she landed hard on the deck.

"Oh no!" Faye cried as she came over to help her up. "Ye alright?"

"I'm . . . Just . . . Dandy . . ." Kit said through gritted teeth. She put her hand to her back. "Ow . . . That's gonna leave a bruise . . ."

"Oh no, here comes Jack . . ."

"Kit!" Jack said exasperatedly. "Ye have to be more careful, love!!"

Faye rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, she's fine Jack, thanks for your concern . . ." she said sarcastically.

"Bloody hell, woman!" Jack ranted on. "Ye got clumsiness on land AND sea!"

Kit looked him in the eye. "Well, excuse me, CAPTAIN!"

"Ye ticked her off . . ." Faye muttered, backing away. "Not good . . ."

Kit continued. "IF YE WANNA GET YOUR BLOODY CRATES TO THE OTHER SIDE O' THE SHIP, DO IT YOURSELF!!! SAVVY?"

"Here we go . . ." Faye turned to Will. "So if both of them die, who will be in charge?" she asked him with a grin.

Jack stood up a bit straighter. "WELL AS PART O' ME CREW, YOU MUST OBEY THE CAPTAIN AND GIVE HIM RESPECT!"

"WELL I'VE GOT NO RESPECT FOR THE CAPTAIN IF HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR ME!!"

"FINE!"

"FINE!"

The both of them turned on their heels and stormed off in different directions.

"Well now . . ." Faye began. "That was something."

"I agree," stated Will. "Let's remember never to make Kit angry again . . ."

"Aye . . ."
