Chapter 4 Disclaimer: I don't own any characters minus Courtney, the rest are owned by Disney. *Tear*

I wanted to thank Labelle for their kind words. That was very sweet of you and thank you for your encouragement.

She woke up early, which was VERY unusual. As she awoke the events of yesterday flooded over her

'Holy crap!' she thought. 'This can't be happening. This goes against the laws of space and freaking time!' her eyes widened as the realities sank in.

She didn't have any clean clothes except for her practice clothes and the one she had for PE. Thank god she had her purse though. It had her cell and old crappy MP3 (only held 13 songs). She also realized that she had her backpack and laptop case (EVERYONE had to have one at her school, For some odd reason it's required). She looked through her bag; all she had was a few textbooks and an Edgar Allan Poe book. Then she checked her laptop. No battery.

'Damn it! Well I'll just change into the sweats and old crew shirt to cook in'. She thought.

She got re-dressed and walked out to see that they had docked in some strange port. Then she went and looked for Jack.

"Captain, umm we still need more food for the crew..." She stammered.

"Well you'll just have to go find some eh luv?" He then handed her some money and sent her off. "Be back in 2 hours, we best be leavin' soon."

She nodded and walked off. All around her there were carts and wooden buildings. She soon found a food stand. She shoved some bananas, tomatoes, bread and a few other essentials in her bag. After paying the man she realized the still had an hour to kill.

So, she tried to do some exploring. After realizing she didn't know her way around, she tried to find her way to the ship. After spending the rest of the hour trying to find the damn docks, she saw ship she was looking for.

She then boarded and went to unload in the kitchen. It seemed rather boring in there so she decided to sing a little. She turned on her MP3 player and sang as she worked:

"Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you,

And everything you do,

Yeah, they were all yellow.

I came along,

I wrote a song for you,

And all the things you do,

And it was called Yellow.

So then I took my turn,

Oh what a thing to have done,

And it was all yellow

Your skin

Oh yeah, your skin and bones,

Turn into something beautiful,

You know, you know I love you so,

You know I love you so.

I swam across,

I jumped across for you." She sang.

Jack was walking by the kitchen when he hears someone singing. He popped his head in and saw Courtney washing food and singing a strange song. She was not the best singer, he had to admit, but it was refreshing to hear a woman's voice rather then a bunch of drunken pirates. While singing he got a chance to really look at her.

Her hair was colored at least 3 different colors. He liked so see that she was curvy. He had always liked the curvy girls. She felt some one behind her and turned to see Jack looking at her intently.

"Do you need something?" she asked.

She hoped that he hadn't heard her sing, because, well she sucked. She had a lower singing voice for a girl, hence being an alto.

"I was wonderin' if you had anythin' prepared for the crew. They're getting' restless luv, and you don't wanna be seein' a restless, drunk, and hungry crew..." He said, smiling again.

"Umm, ok, give me a minute." she quickly as she could, threw together some meat she had cooked earlier so it wouldn't spoil and tomatoes. She also pulled out the bottles of liquor Jack had requested get put out.

"Ok tell em to come in and they'll get fed". She said.

He nodded and yelled to them. He grabbed one of the plates and a large bottle of rum as thundering feet were heard above deck and cheers from a hungry group of pirates.

For some odd reason she was starting to think Jack was rather cute. But once again talked her self out of it.
