Well, this is my very first fanfic that has been published. And it's the only one I made that was come from a movie because I used to write an anime fanfic. I hope that
you'll like it and make reviews about it. This is my first time to use "YOU" as one of the characters. And maybe you're wondering why my title "Yearly Instinct" is quite boring.
Well, I guess you have to read it. Anyway, ENJOY!!!
By the way, thanks to Lassarielle for helping me to work with my story. ^_^'
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from POTC, not even the characters, not even YOU.
**********
The story is set 2 years after the grand adventure and everybody's lives went back to their normal course. William and Elizabeth wedded and had a child and our favorite Captain was at it again pillaging, plundering loathing and whatever else comes around into his mind. It was just a normal day at the Turner household when the door slammed open and in came a very roughish looking but stunningly handsome man.
"Good morning sir. May I help you?" said the maid who was cleaning in the middle of the entryway.
The man who had entered walk closely to the maid and replied, "I'm looking for William Turner, me luv."
Before the maid answers Elizabeth went out from the kitchen, busy talking to her butler. The man look at her and greeted,
"Good Morning me lady. Do you by any chance know where your husband is?"
Elizabeth turned to the man who asked and she was surprised,
"Oh! Mr. Jack Sparrow! It's nice to see you again. Of what business do you both have in common?"
Jack was little bit astounded that made his eyebrows rise,
"Sink me! He didn't tell ye that he's coming with me?"
Elizabeth, quite baffled, took a moment before she remembers,
"Oh! He's upstairs." Jack at once thanked Elizabeth as he backs out and immediately ran upstairs.
Jack opens the door near by the staircase,
"William??" he shouted as he entered the room.
Will quickly response, "I'd be here. I'm just fixing my things."
Jack walked inside the room and sat down at the bedside.
While Jack's waiting for Will, he looks around the room and told his mate,
"Ey, Will, ye got a cozy room up here."
Will just nodded while he puts his clothes in his baggage. Unexpectedly, a boy, about three years old, runs towards Jack.
"Godfather!" cheerfully yells of the boy as Jack carries him and he let him sat in his lap.
Jack joyfully asks the boy, "How are ye my li'l pirate?"
The boy salutes and happily response to his godfather, "I'm fine Cap'n."
All of a sudden, Will stop from what he's doing and look at them.
"Oh no, he's not going to be a pirate." Will told them.
Jack gives Will a sarcastic look and yelp,
"Blimey! Why not! His father is a good pirate; his godfather is much better and very good-looking pirate. Why not he be a pirate?"
Then the boy interrupt, "Yes daddy! Being a pirate will be fun! I'll have my own ship, have myself a crew and find treasures like uncle Jack! And have myself a beautiful wife."
While the boy is talking Jack started to make faces. Will stood up turning to Jack,
"With the rate that this is going I think that you are more of a father to my child than me."
Jack sighed, "Can't help it Will, the kid's got taste and he has his godfather's sense of adventure."
William was astonished, "I thought you hated kids?"
Jack look straight at William and replied with a smile, "Well then Will, You're child is the first one I ever will like."
The boy laughs and Will seems to be more baffled. Jack puts down the child and stood up and changed the topic,
"Well, I think that you're shoved up a lot of thing in there. Shall we?"
Will said goodbye to his son and pick up his luggage and leaved the room. Jack, still in the room, kneels down in front of Will's son and whispered,
"When yer father and I returned I'll give ye something."
The boy was really happy when heard that,
"Thank you godfather Jack!" After that Jack also leaves the room.
Jack and Will both reached the hallway and Elizabeth was there waiting for them.
"Are you leaving already?" Elizabeth exclaimed.
Both Jack and Will stopped beside the main door. Will replied,
"Yes, but I'll be back after a few months."
Jack smiles at Elizabeth as he interrupts,
"Don't worry me lady, I'll keep on eye on him." then he gave her a wink,
but Elizabeth gives them an unsatisfied look, "Ok…Take care both of you."
The two freebooters immediately leaves the house as Elizabeth yell, "And no rum for you MR. WILL TURNER!"
"Ok!" Will replied, as they both fade out in Elizabeth's sight.
Jack and Will went down to Port Royale and they quickly boarded to the Black Pearl. Jack yelp to his crew,
"Smarty there men! (Meaning: Hurry up!) We're heading back to Tortuga!"
The crew roars out, "AYE!"
The Black Pearl without delay leaves the shores of Port Royale.
Will asks Jack, "Why we're heading to Totuga? I thought we're heading to the east?"
Jack bluntly replies, "Coz' I have my yearly instinct. Savvy?" and he leaves Will and started to sing while walking merrily towards the steering wheel.
Will mutters, "What's yearly instinct? Jack has been acting strangely since this morning."
Surprisingly, Gibbs appeared from his back and asked, "Do ye want to know why and Cap'n's yearly instinct is?"
Will turned around to Gibbs and promptly respond, "Make it count."
Will and Gibbs walked away from the helm and walk thru the hull. As they reach the hull Gibbs started to tell Will, "It's all started when he's still a young lad
and when he had first met that bonnie lass."
******Flashback******
Tortuga was been like that ever since, crowdie, noisy, full of whore in every corner of the street and arguing people and you can smell rum all over the place. It's typical day for
young Jack yet this is the day he'll never forget. Children were outside the streets playing different game. The young Jack Sparrow was busy playing with his friends inside their family's manor. Jack ran and climbed at a large rock, raising his right hand holding a wooden sword and shouted,
"I be Capt. Jack Sparrow the greatest pirate among all!!"
All of his playmates supported him. Out of the blue, a young blonde girl, one of his playmates, giggly response,
"And I'll be your lovely wife!"
Jack looked at the girl and smiled. His smile is the sweetest smile you'd ever seen in Tortuga, of course he still don't have his several gold teeth. But, another young girl, also one of his playmates, breaks off,
"No! I'll be his lovely wife!" and the blonde girl looks madly at her and started an argument.
Jack jumps off the large rock and went between the two girls,
"Stop will ye… Ye two will be me lovely wives." The two girls stopped from arguing and they giggly look at Jack.
Unexpectedly, one of Capt. Sparrow, Jack's father, was running towards Sparrow's Manor,
"Cap'n Sparrow! Sail oh! I think the post is under attack!" he barked out.
Capt. Sparrow, a muscled man, full of tattoos in his arm and with thick mustache, came out from the door of the manor and commands his crew,
"Man your posts!!! We can't afford to be caught off guard the ship is unmanned."
Captain's voice was big and loud. All his men heard the command and roared,
"Aye! Cap'n!" Captain Sparrow's men scrambles out and shouting the captain's command.
The ship is drawing near the rocky shores of Tortuga. Jack runs to his father and he right away asks,
"What's going on father?"
Capt. Sparrow replied without looking at his son, "We're under attack."
Jack couldn't believe that Tortuga was under attack despite of no one knows where it is except for the pirates. Capt. Sparrow quickly grabs Jack's hand and went inside the manor. He hides his son to the trapdoor,
"Stay here and don't ye make any noise." said Capt. Sparrow. But Jack, seemed a little excited, refuses to hide,
"But I don't like to hide in here. I want to fight! I 'm already a big pirate"
What had Jack said made his father retorted, "Do what I say! Yer me only son!"
Jack gazes to his father and quietly obeyed. Jack's father closed the trap door and hurriedly went to the port. All of Capt. Sparrow's crew and the townspeople gathered at the port as they watch the ship draws near. They raise their weapons and prepared to attack. One man noticed that there's something not right and he asked Captain Sparrow,
"The white galleon ship is very near. Why isn't attacking us?"
Capt. Sparrow gradually replied, "I don't know for sure their intentions but keep yerselves ready."
The purely white huge ship dock at the port and the gangplank was dropped. A tall fair skinned man wearing quite unusual clothing went down the ship.
Abruptly, that strange man spoke, "Ahoy! There in land!"
Everyone was shocked of what they had listened to. One of Captain Sparrow's crew asked,
"Blimey! Would ye be attacking our port by any chance?"
The peculiar man got puzzled yet he smiled and responded, "Hmm… you thought we'll be attacking you?!"
Another man barked out, "Aren't ye?"
The man seemed to be laughing however he still replied,
"No, Mateys! We're not. We're also pirates. We're here to buy us some supplies." And he showed a friendly smile.
Capt. Sparrow came closer to the strange man and he asks,
"There's no honor amongst thieves! Why would we let you dock here with only just an assurance that you are a pirate?"
The strange man answered, "If a name can make all the difference" looking around as he talks,
"Then I be Captain Miguel Gonzalez from the Asian seas off the southeast."
Capt. Sparrow was amazed he looks at the white ship and said, "Shiver me timbers! Is this ship I'm looking at The Pearl of the Orient seas?"
Then Capt. Gonzalez looks at Captain Sparrow and proudly says, "Aye! Isn't she a bonnie!"
After that unusual happening, Capt. Sparrow was joyfully invited Capt. Gonzalez to have some swings of rum together. Capt. Gonzalez gladly accepted the request of his new comrade.
"I can take ye inside me ship if ye fancy?" Captain Gonzalez asked inviting Capt. Sparrow hospitably.
"That would be an invite to remember. I'll be sure to do that sometime." replied Capt. Sparrow with keen interest.
Going to some local pub of Captain Sparrow's choosing, the two ordered a couple of exquisite rum.
"Now Cap'n this is the best part about being in me lovely Tortuga. You got to have a taste of this sweet rum that is renowned in the whole world over." said Captain Sparrow with enthusiasm, while Captain Gonzalez takes a big swig and lets out a loud burp.
"Indeed it is sweet, m' not the one to brag but me country also boasts a drink that is as sweet as yer rum."
Remarked Captain Gonzalez with pride while he brought out two medium-sized porcelain jars from his bag.
"What's that?" asked Captain Sparrow curiously.
"This here is what we call Lambanog. Originally made in me country"
Placing the dark blue bottle at the table. "And this is called sake."
Placing the tall dark red bottle beside the other one. "You won't be minding me if I take a swig from this, would ye?"
Asked Captain Sparrow while taking a gulp on the dark blue bottle. "Not at all mate, not at all!" replied the jovial pirate generously.
As the tall pirate drank his own share of Lambanog, Captain Sparrow suddenly felt a rush of heat through his body.
"I can feel the fireworks in this mate!" exclaimed Captain Sparrow. "Here, why don't ye try Sake. Though this be a li'l softer than the former. By the way, this came from a land called Japan, far in the east." Handing Sparrow the other bottle.
"Yeah, that Lambanog ye gave me was pretty strong! It almost kicked the hell out of me heart. I need a little breather."
It took them almost the whole day drinking up all the liquor they had and as soon as they finished, Captain Sparrow offered the jolly pirate to stay at his place telling him drunkenly that he has a lot of vacant rooms for honored guests such as him.
"Aye thanks Capitan! Hic! I would love to stay Hic! As an honored guest in the house of such as ye, Hic! But before that I need to Hic! Pick up me daughter first in me ship Hic!
She might be worried sick bout me Hic!" Replied the drunken captain of the Pearl of the Orient. Having decided upon the matter, the two went to the port barely able to walk straight.
You impatiently wait for your father to return while standing at the port beside your docked ship. The two drunken captains reached the white ship safely. You saw them swaying as walk towards you. You hurriedly run to your father and help him. You promptly tell your dearly father,
"Thank God you're here already. I'm really worried about you. Where have you been?"
Your father seems didn't understand what you say instead he drunkenly replied,
"Oh, hic! I want ye to meet hic! me new comrade. Hic! He's Captain Sparrow"
You lowered your head a sign of respect and you response, "Pleased to meet you…Captain Sparrow. I'm______(your name)"
After picking you up and introducing him to Captain Sparrow, who was at that moment also drunk, they started towards Captain Sparrow's Manor at the far outskirt of the town. Though the two pirates can barely walk and think right, somehow they managed to reach the manor. Arriving at the manor in one piece, they were greeted by Sparrow's men and were accompanied inside. Once inside the reception hall, Sparrow called for his son,
"JACK!! We have Visitors! Hic!" looking around, "Where could that son of mine be? Hic! JACK!! Where are you?"
As he called for his son, one of his attendants reminded him that he ordered his son to hide somewhere in the manor. Moments later, the floor below Captain Sparrow's left foot started moving. Removing his foot away from that particular part of the floor revealed the trapdoor where he told his son, Jack to hide.
"Ey! What ye doin' there?" asked Capt Sparrow.
"Don't ye remember that yer the one who told me to hide here earlier father?" Jack responded a bit bewildered.
"Huh? I don't remember meself saying that!" replied his father drunkenly.
"Of course ye wouldn't remember, ye're drunk!" hollered Jack to his father.
They were almost on to each other when Jack realized that they had visitors.
"Father, why didn't ye tell me that we have visitors!" exclaimed Jack.
"Forgive me honored guests for being, uh rude as to ignore you. I forgot to introduce you to my one and only dear son and heir to my heritage of piracy, I mean to my
possessions! Hic! Jack Sparrow." presenting his son to his honorary guests.
"And Jack, I want you to meet our visitors, Captain Miguel Gonzalez and his daughter, uh-" said jack's father, forgetting to ask bout Captain Gonzalez's daughter's name.
" _____(your name) ,_____(your name again) Gonzalez. My daughter. Hic! Don't let her dainty look fool ye, she's much experienced than she seems to be. And I am sure that
she'll make a fine pirate like her good ol' father Hic! So I suggest you don't be softening there boy or else she'll kick your ars til they kiss the moon! HarghHarghHarghic!" Bragged the buoyant pirate.
"Father! You're embarrassing me!" replied the charming lass (which is you in the process.) bashfully while Jack stares at you dumbfounded the whole time, blushing a bit.
"Nice to meet you, Jack Sparrow." You said to Jack with a friendly voice.
Your sweet voice reached Jack's ears that made him back to his senses. He approaches and he stretches his shaking hand to you,
"It's …me plea…sure…" with a trembling voice. You reached his hand and you felt his hands shaking. You lightly shake hand with him and you're still smiling at him. It made him a
lot nervous but that not last long…
