Chapter 5 - Eric and Anna
Hey guys! I'm back! School's been so stressful! You guys should review more often.=( then I'd be more motivated to write! =)

"Can you smell the fresh ocean air Jack?" Jen sighed and leaned into Jack's arms.
"Of course I can." Jack replied with slight traces of laughter heard in his voice when he spoke.
(an: erm..i think the grammar in that sentence is a bit messed. Forgive me mind you)
Jack said, "So, Love. Care if I ask ye a little favor?"
"Ask away." Jen grinned.
They walked around outside under the moonlight and stars. Other than the slight breeze and the ocean waves crashing onto the sand, all was still and silent. They were walking toward their secret cave one last time before they went on their little expedition.
Jack stayed silent. He seemed to be pondering something, "Never mind."
"Okay Jack."
(an: currently, jack does not have dreadlocks YET. I think that he gets dreadlocks later on.this is my story so HA. But yeah. He's got hair kinda like the way Will has his hair in the movie ^___^)
The pirate couple stood together on the beach for a while before moving toward the rocks toward their cave.
*I should've asked her! Why am I so bloody stupid?!* Jack thought to himself, "I need the right moment!"
Jack had 3 layers on so he took off his raggedy coat and gave it to Jen since Jen wasn't wearing thick clothes.
They reached their hidden entrance to the cave and went inside to enjoy it once last time.
A couple hours later, they decided to leave, taking all the things that they had left in there with them in case someone discovered the cave. They didn't take the swords though because the practice arena was hidden. It would be impossible for people to find the entrance to the arena.
They went to the Black Pearl and tossed everything aboard into Jack's cabin.
Jen only had two choices: to share with Jack, or to sleep in the rooms below deck and share with the crew. Obviously she chose to stay with Jack.
Since there were a couple of hours till dawn, they decided to just hang out on the beach until the sun came up. Jen laid her head on Jack's shoulder and they fell asleep in the sand.
Jack awoke to red sun rays shining on his face. It was about 5 AM.
"Wake up, Love. We be leaving in a hour or two." Jack nudged Jen awake.
"Huh..?" Jen rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, "Wow. The sunrise is so pretty."
The sky looked like someone took gold, red, orange, and pink paint and just smeared it all over the sky with a few lonely clouds here and there. It was indeed a wonderful sight.
"Ye're prettier than any sunrise or sunset." Jack replied, smiling a little naughty smile.
Jen rolled her eyes, "That sentence is used far too many times." But deep down they both knew that she liked it.
Suddenly, a ship came over the horizon.
"Oh! Jack! Look! I think it's the Hispaniola! It looks like father's ship!" Jen shouted. She leaped to her feet, pulled Jack up, grabbed his wrist and ran toward the docks just as the ship set anchor.
"Jen! Look what yer mum brought back ter ye!" Eric Smith called to his daughter as she ran towards him.
Eric and Anna Smith jumped off the boat onto the dock and awaited their daughter.
"Father! What'd ye get?!"
"Well, we visited me father-" Eric was cut short by his wife.
"Well well well! Jen yer dressed as if yer goin somewheres!" Anna exclaimed, "And where ye be going?"
"Me and Jack are going on an adventure aboard his new ship!" Jen laughed, "While you were gone, The Black Pearl was finished and we're leaving Tortuga today!"
"Today?!" Her parents shouted, "What time?! And with WHO???!!!!"
"In a couple o hours." Jack responded, stepping out of the shadows, "With me of course. Surely ye haven't forgotten Jack Sparrow in the years ye've been gone."
"Haha! Me lad! Come, come!" Eric yelled jollylly (haha.you get the point), "Come and we shall grab some rum and toast to new captain here, Captain Jack Sparrow!"
*Greaaaat..* Jen thought as Eric led Jack away aboard the Hispaniola.
"Mum!" Jen whined, "I JUST got Jack off the habit of drinkin rum in the mornin!"
"Ah. Jen, eventually ye'll learn that no matter how hard ye try, pirates will do whatever they can to get they're hands on a bottle of rum in the mornin'. Now I dunno about Jack but yer poppa always sneaks rum no matter how much I threaten im." Anna laughed, leading her daughter onto the ship.
"Now. We've got some gifts for ye! They may just come in handy on this adventure of yours!" Eric came out of the cabin flailing his arms, spilling rum everywhere.
"Took a while but me finally got me hands on a fine black coat. Which is of course for me boy here, Jack." Eric tossed him the jacket along with a hat and a belt, "These may come in handy as well. I have no need for them."
"Ah. Jen! Let's see..." Eric scratched his head and rummaged through the treasures that he brought back.
He also tossed Jen a hat, a small package, a belt, three bandanas, a red one, a blue one, and a green one. Then he tossed her a brand new shirt, pants, etc.
Anna was helping him dig through the junk when she came upon a broken compass, which she handed to Jack.
"It's broken" Jack said, looking at it and then looking at Eric with confusion.
"Yes. But ye see. The compass still tells ye where to go! Ye'll know what me blubbering about once you use it." Eric laughed, taking another swig of rum.
(an: heh. And THAT is how jack got the broken compass)
Jen looked out the window at the sun, "Oh no! Jack! We're leaving in about an hour and everything is still back in the cottage!"
"EH? Oh bloody hell" Jack mumbled, "Bye Eric, Anna. Me an Jen'll see ye in a bit eh?"
" Yes mum! Father! You will meet us on The Black Pearl before we take off right?" Jen asked, a pleading look in her eyes.
"Of course we'll be there! Me ain't done with the gifts yet, poppet!" Eric laughed.
"Eric. I'm going to go help Jen and Jack." Anna told Eric as she left with her daughter and Jack.
"So Jen. What have ye been up to?" Anna asked, "Yer father and me have been gone fer bout a year or two. Ye've must've done something during those two years."
Anna nudged Jen.
"Mum! I haven't done anything inappropriate...!" Jen blushed, catching on to what her mother meant.
"Did he ask you yet??" Anna whispered into her ear so that Jack could not hear.
"What are you talking about?"
Anna's eyes widened and then frowned a little. She seemed sort of surprised and shocked at the same time.
"N-nothing dear."
(an: what ARE they talking about..???? Wahaha..I suppose that pirates have the same dilemmas as us.)
They got to the cottage and Anna and Jen hurriedly packed some clothing, brushes, pencils, and everything else that Jen wanted to take on the trip into a tiny little trunk about one foot by two feet and two feet high. Anna told Jen not to bring to much clothing. By the time they were done, Jack had already packed his things, brought them onto the Black Pearl and gotten back in time to carry Jen's things.
Jen and Anna carried a bit of homemade food that Ana Maria and Patricia gave them for their trip.
(Patricia is just a random character. No big part of the story..well..i suppose she is one of Jen's rather close girl friends)
When Anna and Jen got onto the ship, that's when Jen realized why her mother told her not to bring too much clothing. Her dad had gotten a trunk full of clothes for her and Jack. They varied from two nice dresses, which Anna took out of the trunk for her mum to take care of while she was gone, about 15 different pirate outfits that were obviously for her and 15 different pirate outfits for Jack along with shoes for both, MORE bandanas, beads, brushes, money, and even some food. All of this they had gotten from their two year purging trip.
"Oh my hell!" Jack said when he saw what was in the trunk, "That's a whole lot of clothes. I didn't think that I needed so much for the trip."
"HAHA! Well! Ye don't know how long it'll be till yer back. Me and Anna certainly didn't think we be out fer 2 years. But looky everythin we broug't back fer ye!" Eric said obnoxiously, "Well. Me and Anna be leaving now. Ye keep me lil' girl safe ye hear?! Or I'll have ye head. And ye take care yeself."
Eric and Anna said their cheery goodbyes and headed off the ship.
Jack and Jen went out onto the deck.
"Anchor away!" someone shouted.
And their trip began. Jen ran to the rail and waved at her parents and then gave Jack a hug and went into the cabin to sleep because she barely got any sleep the previous night.
******************************************
6 hours later..
******************************************
"Jen! Jen!" Jack shook Jen trying to wake her, "Wake up love! It's about midday! Do you want to eat something?" "Midday? Already? **yawn** Better get up, shouldn't I?" Jen stretched and started to climb back into bed.
Jack rolled his eyes and yanked the blankets off Jen, picked her up, put her over his shoulder and walked out of the room.
Jen hit Jack's back with all her might and started to laugh, "PUT ME DOWN!"
From the wheel, Barbossa could see the two of them laughing and play fighting.
"Boy do I have a hell of a surprise for you Jack Sparrow." Barbossa muttered under his breath as the laughing voices of the two young lovers rose to where he was located.
(an: man...i have that word...lovers?! eck! I couldn't think of anything else though...O_O such a terrible author me am! LOL)
The pirates who were cleaning the deck close to Barbossa snickered and nodded their heads, giving each other evil smirks.

3 weeks later...
*******************************
"Island ahead! Island ahead!" One of the crewmember's shouted from the crow's nest.
(an: hmm..to maroon Jack and Jen or not to maroon Jack an Jen..that IS the question...er...how about not now?)
**********************************
okay.I forgot what I was going to do here..i'll have to think of something. =) until next time.bai! Ok yah! The chapters are going to get really short now. Sorry about that. But school's super busy so.. yeah.
