Sorry everybody, it's school again AND I'm &^%@" sick. Grrr. Oh yea, I'll
try to make chapters longer but it's just like I arrive at some point that
seems perfect to end the chapter at.
Thank you, Laraeliae Black, Dana5, bimboobee, and akksgurl for reviewing! I
feel extremely flattered!

CHAPTER 3.
Jack and Andromeda shared a long but not an uncomfortable silence. Each of them was busy thinking about their problems. Jack came back to reality when he noticed Andromeda licking her lips every so often. He looked at her questioningly.
"What?" she snapped.
"Just tryin' to figure out what's on yer mind, luv."
The girl hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to ask for help from a man, but she gave in. "I am thirsty."
Jack grinned, "Well, I have just the thing for that. Wait a minute, so do you. Why don't ye drink some o' that rum in yer hand?"
"Alcohol is not to be drank instead of water," Andromeda said, sounding as if she were reading from a book.
Jack chuckled, "Luv, open yer eyes a bit. Ye'r on an island in the middle of a huge body of wate'. Forget about the rules, forget about boundries. Well, 'course we're stuck 'ere so that's a major boundry." Jack paused; his lecture didn't go exactly the way he intended it to. Andromeda shook her head, licking her lips almost non-stop now. This was beginning to really bother Jack, in more ways than one.
"Fine, so ye like rules. Well, tell ye what- A couple of years ago I was made the governor of this place. So as long as yer 'ere, ye have to follow me laws."
"Is that the truth?"
"I swear on me dear Pearl! It's me ship," he added, seeing her questioning look.
"May I drink this rum?" she asked, shuddering a bit. She'd never asked a man for permission to do something before.
"O' course, darlin'," said Jack, lying on his back and taking a swing of rum from another bottle. "So tell me about yerself. We don't wanna die strangers, do we?"
"What do you wish to know?"
Jack thought about it for a minute. "Have you seen a man before?"
She nodded. "Why were you scared of me then?"
"I still am," she thought and then said, "I was not scared. I was startled! I've never been this close to a man."
"That's very interesting. But I thought even Amazons have to. meet up with men once in a while."
Andromeda frowned, "Yes once in a while we do that when there is a shortage in girls who want to join us. I myself was born as a result of one of those.meetings."
"But ye yerself have never been with a man?" Jack asked, already knowing the answer.
She shook her head, blushing. "It is usually voluntary."
"I see, that's very nice. Almost non-pirates like," observed Jack, half- joking.
"That is because Amazon pirates are above filthy men," blurted Andromeda, immediately regretting these words.
Jack stood up and walked up to her. "I don' know what ye've been taught on that ship of yers but ye should 'ave enough sense not to generalize people like that. Take me fer example: I'm a bloody pirate, I drink, I robe, I kill people." He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "But so do ye." Noticing her shivering, he backed away and looked into her eyes. "But that's not my point, luv," he said, regaining his friendly voice, "The point is that both you and I may be pirates but that doesn't stop us from bein' good men. Or women!" he added quickly, noticing her glare.
She got up to her feet. "I am taking a walk."
[AN] So there you have it. A little bit longer, but I think the quality is worse, since I've heard that having a fever doesn't do writing skills much good.
