Ok.IlOvEpOtC4eVa..."just over five feet" means she is about an inch over five feet! As in 5'1;and yes.some people out there are 5'1. So if you have something to say about short people- I am sorry you feel that way. I thought it would be sweet to make Lynn much shorter than Jack, so that is exactly what I did. So yeah, she is short. Ok.well anyway, please review...tell me if its any good.I'm really nervous about it...I hope its ok.if you like it say so please.I'm a wreck over this story!!

Lynn woke up the next morning with her first hangover. She had gotten quite drunk last night with Jack. Her head was spinning with things that she wasn't sure had happened. She thought she'd kissed Jack. "I hope it was a dream," she thought. "And if it wasn't a dream it is never happening again," she said aloud.

"What's never happening again, luv?" Jack snaked his arm around Lynn's waist and kissed her cheek. She pushed him off and said, "Captain Sparrow, whatever may have happened between us was a complete mistake and I apologize if you have gotten the wrong impression of me. I was drunk and it was wrong. I am sorry." Lynn was definitely not going to become one of Jack's whores. She was a respectable young lady. Maybe she wasn't rich but she knew she was worth more than a whore. She had more self-respect than that.

"Aw, come on. luv, you weren't like this before. What's gotten into you? " Jack was thoroughly disappointed. It was the first time he had ever started to feel anything for a woman. He knew she was a lady and that he didn't deserve her, but he didn't handle rejection well, since he really wasn't used to it. He tried to touch her arm but she flinched and took a step back. " Captain, please." She didn't meet his eyes. Jack understood now. She was serious. He thought it was even more horrible to hear her speak to him so formally. Addressing him as "Captain" and not wanting him anywhere near her. He knew they were never really "together" but he still liked her a lot. But now liking her was beginning to be a problem for him. It wasn't like him to care for a woman so much and he felt he should stop it as soon as he could!

Lynn felt that she could never like- much less love- a pirate. Everything she felt before was just.physical (or so she thought). It would never work between them. He was a real pirate; she was only there for a little bit of adventure and to get away from her father. Despite everything she was still a lady, not some whore in Tortuga.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Joshamee Gibbs saw what went on between these two. He was the captain's first mate and best friend. He was also a good friend of Lynn's; after all she was a very nice young lady. Jack and Lynn really hadn't gotten along very well since the morning Lynn rejected Jack. Gibbs decided to talk to them before things got out of hand.

" Right. now, err, Lynn. I've noticed tha' you and the Cap'n haven't been getting' along very well lately and, well, it's been upsettin' the crew and the Cap'n most of all.now tell me Lynn, what's all this bickerin' really abou'?" Gibbs said with utmost sincerity and extreme curiosity. He knew they had been a bit close from the start and when he saw the abrupt change in attitude he felt confused. As for the crew, despite being pirates, most of them got a long and they were quite peaceful amongst themselves, and the bickering and fighting that constantly went on between their captain and Lynn was unnerving.

" Mr. Gibbs-Joshamee - there really is nothing truly horrible going on. It's just that.well." Lynn took a deep breath. She didn't really want to talk about her feelings for Jack to anyone. She thought it was best kept to herself, oh well, so much for secrecy. " Alright, I'll be frank with you, when I first met Jack, I was scared to death of him. I had heard so much of him, but then after I got to know him a bit better I grew rather fond of him. The truth is I liked him a lot. I won't go so far as to say ' I loved him' because it was all too soon for that. But I was starting to have feelings for him. I cared about him and still do. But one night, we were both drunk and we talked and laughed and.and he kissed me. I enjoyed his kiss too much for my own liking. It scared me in a way. I could absolutely NOT fall for a pirate. For all I knew he could just think of me as another whore from Tortuga and Joshamee, I admit I am a proud woman. I have my self-respect and I would not allow a silly crush to go any further. So the next morning I told Jack that it was all a mistake. I don't think he took it very well because he hasn't been the same with me since. And that is where all the fighting originated. Do you understand me Joshamee?"

Gibbs understood her, in his own way. He thought if she liked him, she should have just gone with it. But then again, Jack had lain down with too many whores for a lady, even a poor one, to accept him. So Gibbs understood; but he also knew something that Lynn didn't. Something he had no right to say, and kept to himself.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lynn heard shouting from her cabin. The sea looked deadly. Thunder, lightning, and waves that came crashing down from incredible heights. Though she would hate to admit it, she had one thing on her mind when she left the safety of her cabin- Jack. She put on a robe and rushed out to help the rest of the crew and Jack in any way she could. " Jack!! " she cried, her voice filled with worry. Jack felt wonderful knowing that she still cared (thanks to Mr. Gibbs); and hearing her call him Jack again was music to his ears. But he didn't want her in this storm. The largest wave yet crashed right onto the Black Pearl, knocking off Lynn and Steven San Juan. He wasn't a very trusted member of the crew. No one really liked him. Jack only let him aboard to return a favor to Steven's father, Alejandro San Juan.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lynn landed on a rowboat with San Juan. The truth was- he had been waiting to kidnap her- to keep her as his own, and the storm was the perfect opportunity.
