FIRE: Hi everyone!

Vampris: Greetings humans.

FIRE: This is my first Pirates of the Caribbean fic but hopefully it won't be my last. I have lots of ideas for fic but this will probably be the only one that is over a chapter.

Vampris: There may even be an R rated one.

FIRE: Maybe. This fic starts off as Will and Jack exit the bar in Tortuga. An OC of mine happens to be a friend of Jacks and they're going to be staying the night with her. For those of you who have read my other stories I'm sure you know who she is. What mysteries about Jacks will be uncovered in this visit?

Vampris: We do not own PotC. Disney does and right now they're making a lot of money off of it. If we owned the movie instead of righting fics about it we would be rewriting the movie. So just enjoy what you have.

Chapter One: Old Friends and Tales of Love

Will followed the pirate out of the bar and was actually very glad to be out of there. The place had been very loud and scared Will a bit. With all the pirates and wenches walking about he had gotten a bit worked up and drawn his sword on the crowd. (1) That had been his third 'stupid' act of the day. That's what Jack Spa- no, excuse me, *Captain* Jack Sparrow had said when they regrouped to leave.

They were now walking down the street to a quieter part of the rough, but oddly friendly town. Much quieter actually. There where almost no people and the road was clear enough to have drove a carriage down it. The roar of noise coming from behind them seemed out of place as they walked down the surprisingly clean streets.

"Where are we going?" Will asked looking about.

"We be needin' a place ta stay the night 'nd I happen ta have me a frien' 'ere 'n town with a spar room we can use," he said as he staggered down the road in his usual way.

Will cringed at the thought of meeting another one of Jack's friends as they walked down an ally. After seeing all the pirates at the bar he was afraid to see what *else* Captain Jack considered a friend. With that thought Will picked up pace a bit to stay closer to Jack.

As if reading his mind Jack whipped around and pointed oddly in his face; rather close as usual. "I know what ye be thinkin'," he said," what does 'e 'ave in store now?" Will nodded slightly and Jack turned to begin walking, or staggering again.

"She's not what ye might think she'd be."

That made Will cringe even more. A she? After seeing the girls at the bar and knowing the obvious fact (from Jack getting slapped twice) that he slept with a lot of girls, he wasn't sure this would be good. That, and he was good at getting on their bad sides. But Will was a bit curious at how she was 'not what you'd think'. So he asked "How so?"

Jack stopped in front of a house that appeared to have an upstairs loft and was nice looking compared to the rest. He gave his signature smirk and knocked on the door in front of the two.

The blacksmith's image of a chubby, ugly, dark haired wench quickly disappeared as the young woman opened the door. She had blonde hair that was pulled back in a ponytail and then braided many times with beads in it. The pants she wore where imported black leather with suede lacing up the outsides of the legs. The top was black too and hung on her upper arm instead of shoulder and covered only her breasts, leaving the rest of her chest and stomach visible. Like her hair, her skin was pale and her eye where a crystal blue. She also sported a pistol on her right hip and a sword on her left thigh. She also had kohl under her eyes but thinner than Jack had. All and all she was very beautiful and obviously a pirate captain. (2)

Jack held a hand out to her and she shook it. "Long time lass," he said.

"Same to you," she answered in a sweet and lovely voice, not at all like a pirate's.

"Whelp, this is Ca-," Jake was cut off as the pale hand left his and went back then forward to connect with the side of his face and echo the sound of the walls around them two men.

He fell sideways and out of instinct Will caught him and immediately blushed. Their faces where very close together and for some reason that bothered the blacksmith.

"Captain Fire," he finished as he straightened himself and looked at the younger male oddly.

"And I suppose you didn't deserve that?" Will questioned and ignored his look.

"No, 'e deserved that all right," the same sweet voice said though it had changed slightly now, obviously mocking him, "'e left 'ere a while back without a goodbye an' 'ad me worried sick 'e'd died."

Will gave Jack a look for that one, a look of sarcastic "bad, bad boy". Jack laughed slightly and so did the girl. They hugged and then stepped back to look at one another. "I see ye aven't changed much since I saw ye last," the pirate said laughing slightly.

She chuckled back and shook her head. "No, not much at all Cap'n Jack, and neither have you. So why are you here?" she asked leaning against the doorframe.

Jack turned quickly to point at Will then himself, then turned back to her. "The whelp an' I need a place to-" again he was cut off but this time by her voice. "I know why your in front of my door, Jack, I meant why are you in Tortuga. And why not tell me the 'whelp's' name," she chuckled at his slight glare when she scolded him for calling the boy a whelp. Though this made Will like her slightly better; he didn't much like being called a whelp.

The pirate captain gave her a quick go over of his plan to get the Black Pearl back, leaving out what he didn't want Will to know, and gave her the boys name. She shook her head when the explanation was over. "I figured that was why you were here. You never let that ship leave your sights. He would laugh if he saw you like this," she said then leaned close to whisper," the boy looks just like him."

Jack nodded in agency and then moved his hands forward to ask if he and Will were to be let in. Fire moved out of the way, "come on in."
