A/N: Be an Actor, Get drunk
Chapter One
"GOOD MORNING LOVE!" A Drunken pirate stumbled into a small cabin room where a young woman slept. She groaned, her long crimped auburn hair fell around her as she got up, and stretched and rubbed her pale green eyes that looked bright compared to her lightly tanned skin.
"Uncle Jack?" The young woman said, yawning. "What are you doing? The sun's not up yet!?"
"We're takin' off hic early today. Got a few." The pirate was interrupted as he stumbled over a chair. "Good Dog." He said, kicking it aside as her walked by, "We've got a few more places to hic get today!"
"Oh Really." The young woman said, she got out of bed and stepped behind a big curtain to change. "Like where." She said, as she changed into a dress that might have been lovely at one time. She began brushing her hair.
"Chowder Island!" (A/n: DON DON DON!) Banana written above the Don
The young woman dropped her brush. "What?"
"Chowder hic Island!"
"You mean Charmed Island?"
"Yeah, Yeah, whatever."
"Are you insane?!"
"Only when I'm drunk, sweetie." He laughed, picking up a mug full off water, and trying to drink it through his nose. "Only when I'm drunk."
"I think you are now!"
"No way, I know when I am not not drunk."
"You're always drunk Uncle Jack." The woman said, throwing her hair back with a bandana.
"Jack? You in here?" Another pirate walked in carefully.
"Good Morning Will!" The woman called sweetly.
"Yeah, Good morning to you too Naydeene."
"I think we should get Uncle Jack on to the ship." She said, looking over at the drunken pirate, who had passed out. She grabbed, and draped one arm over her shoulder. "Don't just stand there, grab the other end."
Jack suddenly woke up after being moved and threw Naydeene off and spoke with a slur, "I can carry myself up on deck thank you very much," He stumbled towards the door but forgot to open it first before walking out it and ended up knocking himself unconscious. (Trust me, it's possible.I have done it.)
Naydeene rolled her eyes, and proceeded to try to pick up the hefty man. Will came up behind her.
"I'll get him." He said, as if it was routine, which it was. HE threw the large man over his shoulder, almost straining under the weight.
"Alright then, we can't miss the ship." Naydeene said. "Let's go."
Will held the door open for Naydeene. She walked through, holding a course, brown bag in one hand. Will followed, shutting the door behind him. The odd trio walked down the cobbled street towards a clock on the other side of town. They when down back streets, arriving at the dock as the crew were loading the boat with supplies. The trio passed them by, and towards the Captain's Quarters.
Naydeene pulled back the covers on the bed in there, and Will laid Jack down. She undid one boot as Will took off the other one. They eased his legs in, and pulled the blankets up over him. "I sometimes think he is like this so he feels someone cares about him." Naydeene said, sitting next to Jack's feet. "He is just nuts."
Will nodded, "We should get out and help, Gibbs and them can't do it all by themselves." Will jogged up the wooden stairs to the deck, but Naydeene stayed a while longer. She finally pushed herself up, and gave Jack a kiss on the forehead before leaving to head on deck. Jack opened one eye and smiled as she left.
~*~*~*~*~(Pirate flag)
".. And I want that mast double checked!" Will yelled at the crew, almost ready to leave port. A good thing too.. pirates weren't well liked by many.
Naydeene was securing some ropes when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye, Jack stumbling his usual way out on deck.
"Have a nice nap did ye Jack?" Will asked mockingly.
Jack turned to him and swayed back and forth into his face, "You try chugging a 10th lager of rum in 40 count, blacksmith pirate!" Will stepped toward him in a challenging way, when Naydeene stepped between them.
(A Mi ti el ella )
"C'mon boys, we have work to do, just about ready to take her out."
"Ah yes," Will looked to Jack, "Where we be heading Jack?"
Jack was about to answer when he shook a finger at Will. "That's Captain Jack Sparrow to you William!"
Will Snorted.
"We's be off to champ.."
"Charmed." Naydeene corrected.
"Charmed Island." Jack finished.
Will stopped. He then opened his mouth to say something but stopped, then did it again, then finally walked away mumbling, "How did I get myself into this."
"Um.Uncle Jack?" Naydeene followed Jack on to the control deck, "Why are we going to Charmed Island anyways?"
"To get the Pearl back."
Naydeene just fell over, "I thought you were through with that ship?!"
"NEVER!" Jack almost hit her thrashing about, "The Pearl is apart of me, I can never be through with it."
"Well, what happened to it?" Naydeene asked, now all confused.
"Well you see, I let Rosa take the Pearl so'as I could take her new ship intah servicin' down in port Summersby with my "connections" you know?" Jack began to laugh.
Naydeene rolled her eyes, "Well..?"
Jack continued, "Well, we was spose'tah meet up at Durin's peak, but somethin' when arye, 'n' she stay was found a wreak 'n' distress letter found sayin' 'Cherry." (Angel can write in accent..I can't ~Kita)
"Charmed.." Naydeene corrected again in an annoyed voice.
"Charmed Island, so that's where we go."
"Oh," Naydeene jumped excitedly, "So we're going to rescue Rosa?!"
"HA!" Jack began to prepare for departure, "We gonna rescue The Pearl! My dear..black Pearl."
Naydeene shook her head, "What was in it for you in this exchange anyways?"
"Well," Jack looked up almost dreamily, "she promised all the rum she came across in her spoils." He trailed off, dreaming.
Naydeene smacked herself in the head and yelled, "You know what Uncle Jack you are such a sucker!"
Jack gave a smirk that only Johnny Depp.erm.I mean. Captain Jack Sparrow could pull off. "Well, Love, that is Captain Jack Sparrow to you." He said, nodding his hat toward her.
(A/n: WE HAVE A PLOT!) *They actually eat Apples in this story!* ^What Apples?^
Naydeene sighed, "You're hopeless." She growled. She opened the door and pulled her almost too short leggings down, and walked down the stairs into the Captain's Quarters. The room smelt of Rum, but Naydeene had gotten quite used to it by now. She sat in the chair at the desk where maps and papers lay in disarray. She sighed, picking up an apple and began eating on it. Will came in suddenly and scared Naydeene. Out of reflex she grabbed her dagger and threw it, whizzing by Will's head and stabbing the doorframe.
Will breathed, "You're lucky I have quick reflexes!"
Naydeene gasped, " Oh my gosh, Will, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you!" She rushed over to him.
Will shrugged, "I'm okay, it's really nothing."
"I hope I didn't." Naydeene started to say when she stripped over a loose board. Will just stood there as she fell into his arms. She lingered there for a while, on purpose of course, until Jack walked in. Will turned to see Jack raising an eyebrow and tapping a foot. Will immediately raised his hands in innocence as Naydeene fell to the ground, "Hey!"
"It's not what it looks like, okay?" Will backed up as Jack walked passed him.
"My butt." Naydeene said, tears coming out of her eyes.
"Oh My god." Will walked out hurriedly. But Jack grabbed him by the back off Will's clothes. "Hey.. what the.." Will began when a crewmember came in, "We're leavin' port sir!"
Jack grabbed Will by the ear, dragging him out by it.
"OW! Hey, c'mon!" Jack and Will left Naydeene in the room, snickering to her. "Please Jack!"
"You are trying to knock up my Naydeene!"
"What?! I'm not even."
"Oh, don't bother boy." Jack threw him into the crew, "Just keep yourself busy, Bootstrap Will."
Will glared at Jack then disappeared into the crowed of the crew. He grabbed a hold of a mast rope, and leaned out. A little to far out. "MAN OVER BOARD!" A crewmember yelled.
"What?! We're barely out of port!" Jack yelled, looking over to see who it was. Sure enough it was Will, but he had already been helped up on deck. Will took a few deep breaths, and looked at Jack. "First hitting on my niece, now jumping off the ship?" Jack said.
"I wasn't.Aw forget it!" Will snapped.
"You are hopeless!" Jack Snapped at him back, "What are you doing on me ship!"
"I don't know! I was about to ask you the same thing!"
"What this is my ship!"
"Says Who?"
"Me Say, Me Captain!"
"Who paid for it!"
"I traded for it!"
"No you didn't!"
"That's merely a technicality!"
"BOYS!" Naydeene yelled at Jack and Will whom were almost at each other's necks, "We have a ship to run here, mind saving this for later?"
"Fine." They said in unison.
Later ~*~*~*~*~
(WE HAVE AN ENDING!)
Naydeene leaned over some pots, which boiled and bubbled. She looked at a book, and then licked the end of her spoon, her face twisted up, and turned green. "AUGH!" She threw the spoon across the kitchen, "I'll never be able to cook!!!"
"Hey Naydeene!" Some of the crew called from the galley, "C'mon! We're starvin!"
"Uh.." Naydeene quickly threw in some vegetables and spices, "Coming! Coming!" She walked out carrying the huge pot, and sat it out for them to fight over. Stew flew everywhere, running down the tables and walls. She was beginning to miss Rosa. 'Well, at least I don't have to eat with them,' Naydeene thought. She escaped the galley and walked up to the Captain's Quarters, with the trays of food she made for Jack, Will, and herself. She pushed open the door, and smiled. "Food is here!" She said, holding it out to them. The trays when out on the table. Jack was the first to take a bite. "Erm.. Nay, this taste.."
"Just say it."
"It's the worst crap I have ever tasted."
"Thanks." She looked down, but she couldn't expect much. She looked up at Will, "Will?"
He stopped, and tried to be polite, "It's, um," He took a bite and tried not to gag. "...Good.."
Naydeene was teary eyed; she got up, "Well, I'm sure there's something somewhere on this ship that I can do right!" And with that, she left.
Will started to get up, "Aw, man."
But Jack stopped him, and sat him back down again. "No, No, I'll go and get her."
Naydeene was hanging off the mainstay, softly singing, 'A pirate's life for me!" And stared into the starry sky. Jack came up behind her, and set his hands on her shoulders. He then suddenly pushed her right off to plummet to the sea below. She screamed, but she was caught by Jack's strong arms as he swinging with a rope and they both softly on deck. Naydeene was smiling and giggling by now, and Jack smiled back. He hugged her, and kissed her head, then walked away. He stopped, and began to laugh, "You have the Sparrow blood in your little one," He pulled out bottle rum, and took a swig, "You'll make a good pirate someday." Naydeene smiled to herself. "But until then." Jack threw a bucket and scrub brush at her, "Get to work you grime dog!" Jack smirked and walked back to his quarters. Naydeene smiled and got to work.
The Next day~*~*~*~*~ MOO!
Naydeene had fallen asleep working all night, and was flopped out on the deck. Jack stood over her thinking, then kicked her in the side, "Get up you lazy bones." Naydeene didn't move, and Jack leaned over her. "Still breathing."
"Barely." Her voice was coarse and raspy.
"Damn, can't even swap the deck without making it harder on yourself!"
Naydeene smiled weakly, "I know."
Jack sighed, and helped her to her feet. Naydeene began to stumble toward the Captain's Quarters, "I'm just gonna lay down.. for a while."
A crewmember came up to Jack, "Ha, She's starting to remind me of you!"
Jack pretended to wipe a tear from his eye, "They grow up so fast.."
"Well."
"Don't you have something to do?"
"Erm, yes?"
" .Go." Jack turned back to see Will Helping Naydeene into the Quarter. He glared, but decide to give them a head start.
Will help Naydeene into bed, and undid her boots.
"Thanks, Will, but why are you doing this? You really don't have to.."
"Well you seem drunk, or sick.both are bad."
Naydeene smiled weakly.
"Don't worry, I 'm not drunk I've seen Uncle jack like that too many times." She coughed.
Will leaned in brushing back Naydeene's bangs gently. He placed one hand on her forehead. Naydeene leaned in, her lips puckered, Will leaned in even more, then he abruptly pulled away.
"You're burning up." He said, walking across the room. "I'll fix some tea."
Naydeene sank back onto her pillow, groaning softly.
(Poor Naydeene! Will being all PMSY!)
Will walked back over and laid a damp cloth on her forehead, "There, that should make you feel a little better."
Naydeene smiled.
Then Jack entered. "GASP!" he said, "How could you try and get me Nay drunk!"
"Oh For the love of Pete!" Will shouted, "It's TEA!"
"Trying to drug her I see!"
"You are a moron, Savvy." Will said, glaring, "Why would I want Naydeene? She's almost totally useless!" He shouted. Naydeene whimper, and Will shifted his gaze to her, "Well, you are, and I mean that in the nicest way."
Naydeene's lip trembled, and Jack raised on eyebrow.
"That wasn't to nice, Bootstrap."
Will growled, "I am not Bootstrap."
"You're right, he was a better man." Jack said, "Now get out." Will glared at Jack, got up and walked out. Jack removed his hat, and sighed. "Sorry about that." Naydeene nodded and sipped her tea.
~*~*~*~*~
Will tied down the mast, mumbling to himself, "I can't believe this! He's so over protective and I'm not even interested in her!"
"Will?" A voice asked, and Will turned to see Naydeene, wrapped in a thin blanket, looking at him with sad eyes. "It what you said true?" She asked clammy.
"What do you mean?" He asked, tying down another sail.
"About me being useless." Her voice didn't waver, as she stood steadfast. "Do you really believe that?" A wind blew past, her hair getting carried with it. A Blood red morning was beginning to show. "Red in the morning, Sailors take warning."
"Red at night, sailor's delight!" Will finshed. Naydeene had dropped her blanket, and disappeared in the dawning day.
