your ff.net screen name I start singing that song! Wake up, sleepy Jean! Oh

SuzzieQue-The funny thing is before I started writing stories like these, I looked through baby books to pick out names that I liked and used those *LOL*. It worked though, and that's how I found Ekaterina. And thanks!
Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Except for Juniper.that's it. Remember, I'm a 14 year old with no job and no money, but wouldn't it be cool if I DID own POTC? That would rock.
A/N: I really hope you like this chappie, I went into two days writing it! And it's my first time writing fluff and then actually POSTING it, so I was scared and junk, but I finally worked up the courage and here I am!
Chapter 10-Talking with Jack Again and Discovered Feelings
Like I said, from then on, Jack and I were pretty much ok. We had our squabbles *A/N: Is it just me, or is that the best word??*, but then again, who didn't? Jack and I weren't that different from each other, but as the saying goes, "Opposites attract."
It's been a month since Elizabeth announced her pregnancy, but there was no difference in her appearance yet. I had not yet soiled my new dagger from Jack; it was too pretty, we had no fighting pirate ships lately and I still used my old dagger for cutting ropes or anything like that.
The night that night was filled with stars and the moons shown beautifully high in the sky. I was scrubbing the deck (again), only this time I didn't mind it since it was such a beautiful night. It was the first time in what seemed like forever that there were actually no clouds in the sky.
"Need help, lass?"
I looked up to see none other than Jack.
"No, I think I'm ok."
Jack, being his old stubborn self, got down on his hands and knees and scrubbed anyway.
I sighed and laughed at him. "Jack, how come you never listen to me?"
"There's no incentive for me to listen to you if you never want my help when I'm actually willing to offer it."
"True.."
"Now hold on a minute, lass. I've been thinkin'. Just a month ago, I told you my love story. Do ye have any of yer own?"
I looked at him shocked, amazed that he actually cared.
"Any love stories? No. Being on the sea my entire life has precluded me from falling in love. Every time I saw a man I was interested in, he lived on land. And you know I can't stand to be away from the sea."
Jack smiled. "I don't think any pirate can stand to be away from the sea." He got that far-away look in his eye (Think back to when he was on the island with Elizabeth and was talking about how the Pearl represents freedom). "I don't know how to explain it, or even what it is. Just.it's like the sea chooses people and calls to them, and we can't resist, ye know? And even if we could resist, I don't think we would want to."
A grin slowly grew on my face.
"That was beautiful, Jack."
"Thank ye, lass."
"What made you become a pirate, despite how your parents died?" I asked Jack suddenly. It was bothering me since he told me about his parents and I just had to know.
"What makes you ask that?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious."
He thought for a moment before answering. "I guess the want of freedom. I'll tell ye though love; it had nothing to do with prosperity or riches. It's just the fact that the journey never ends. There's always some place new to go. Always new people to see. And always new treasure to find."
My head snapped back up at him in confusion. "I thought you said that treasure didn't matter to you."
"Ah, I said that prosperity and riches didn't matter to me. (A/N: Watch out, here comes yet ANOTHER line from the movie) But not all treasure is silver and gold, lass."
"Once again, Jack, that was beautiful." I said, mesmerized in his words.
"And so are you." He instantly covered his lips and I can tell he really didn't mean to say that.
"Erm.what was that Jack?"
"Nothing."
We sat there in the awkward silence, suddenly forgetting about cleaning the deck. When I turned once again to Jack, I found he was leaning in slightly.
"Jack?"
He then brushed his lips against mine. It wasn't that that scared me. Not at all. The thing that scared me was that I actually seemed to be enjoying it.
When we parted, I looked deep into his eyes to see if he meant it. When I found out he did, I quickly muttered, "Gotta go." And ran to my cabin, leaving Jack speechless and alone on the wet, soapy deck.
