Chapter 6: Go Fish!
And so Jack, Will, and Samantha huddled under a bridge near the dock discussing their plans about what they were going to do next.
"We're going to steal a ship? That ship?" Will said a bit apprehensively as he glanced at the Dauntless near by. Jack had suggested stealing the ship, but he didn't really like the term "steal".
"Commandeer." Jack said, correcting Will. "We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term." Jack looked at Samantha and she rolled her eyes.
"Jack. Stealing is stealing." But when she saw the scowl on Jack's face she quickly changed her mind. "Or commandeering." She finished.
Jack turned back to Will. "One question about your business boy, there's no use going. This girl, how far are you willing to go to save her?"
"I'd die for her."
"Oh, good, no worries then."
"Wait a damn second! There's a possibility of death?!? Someone could die?!?" Samantha was working herself into a panic.
"Of course there is, Sammi. There's always a possibility of death when yer a pirate." Jack said calmly while Samantha shuddered with anger. "I AM NOT A PIRATE! I JUST WANNA GO HOME!" Will quickly covered her mouth before someone heard her.
Jack just stayed calm. He enjoyed taunting Samantha. "Well, ya let me escape from prison, ya willingly came with me, you are about to help us take that ship, and besides, yer an escaped convict. So Sammi, ya ARE a pirate."
He had a point. If she was found she would likely be killed on sight because they thought she was a pirate in the first place. So she knelt there silently in defeat.
Finally, all three creeped out of their hiding place and found a small rowboat nearby. Jack and Will flipped the boat over and laid it on top of themselves. Samantha had no clue what they were doing but she knew it would turn out to be interesting. She ducked underneith the boat with them and they crawled over to the shoreline and went into the water.
After going deep enough into the water, a small air pocket was formed under boat so they could all breathe. Yes, this was really turning out to be interesting.
"This is either madness or brilliance." Will said from behind Jack and Samantha. "Remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack said.
"I'd have to think they coincide very often with you, Jack." Samantha stated.
Will suddenly got his foot caught in a wooden cage and he struggled to get it out. "What the hell are you doing, Orl-Will?" Samantha said when she noticed that Will was shaking the boat. She still wanted to call him Orlando...
"My foot is caught." Will said as he continued to struggle with that stupid wooden cage. But they continued to walk.
"Hey, look, there's a fish." Samantha said out of no where.

It had been a few hours and Danielle sat on a barrel on the deck of the Black Pearl quietly. She pondered what she should do next to keep herself occupied. She didn't want to go back to the brig so she, obviously, decided to stay away from the brig.
She just had a not-to-good conversation with Barbossa and she knew that sooner or later something will come back to haunt her. But she didn't want to admit that she had gotten herself into a jam and couldn't get out.
"Why, hello there, Miss Danielle."
Danielle looked up and, for the second time today, saw Pintel and Ragetti. Danielle stood up and brushed off imaginary dust.
She looked at Ragetti's hand and saw that he was holding a deck of cards. Her interest was peeked. "Hiya boys. So, what card game were you playing?"
Ragetti looked at Samantha, then to the cards in his hand, and back up to Samantha. "Oh. Ya mean these?" Ragetti said holding up his hand. "We was just playin' poker." (A/N: Was poker even around back then? I did a little bit of research on that and I couldn't get a straight answer.)
"Poker, eh? I know a few card games myself." Danielle said as she took the deck of cards out of Ragetti's hand and began shuffling them. "Would you like me to teach you one of my favorite card games?" Pintel and Ragetti nodded their heads.
"What's it called?" Asked Pintel.
"Well, you've probably never heard of it, but it's called Go Fish." Danielle said as all three sat down around a large barrel.
"Hey! Fish! I like fish. Makes me think of my mum's home cookin'." Ragetti said smiling. "Riiiiight." Danielle commented, staring strangely at Ragetti.
"Ok, here's how you play." Danielle began passing out cards to Pintel, Ragetti and herself until they each had seven cards. "Look at your cards and see if any of your cards match. And what I mean by that is if you have a two, check if you have another two to match it. Or if you have a queen, check if you have another queen."
They all picked up their cards and looked at them intently until Ragetti yelled, "Hey! Two of my cards match! Um... what now?"
"Ok," Danielle continued, "put both of those cards down. That's your first match. But now, we have to actually play the game. What you have to do is ask someone if they have a certain kind of card, and if they don't, they say 'Go Fish' and you pick up a card from the deck."
Ragetti and Pintel looked confused. Danielle sighed and said, "Ok, I'll go first. Pintel, do you have any fives?"
"No."
"You have to say 'Go Fish' if you don't have any." Danielle was getting annoyed.
"Go Fish."
"Alright. Now I pick up a card from the deck. Now it's your turn, Pintel."
Pintel turned to Ragetti. "Do ya have any aces?"
"Well hows about that! I got an ace! Now what Miss Danielle?" Ragetti said to Samantha. "Ok, you give your ace to Pintel and now he goes again. But first, he puts his pair of cards down."
Pintel then turned to Samantha. "Do ya have any fours?"
"Go Fish."
Pintel then picked up a card from the deck. Then Danielle siad, "Now it's my turn. And we go on like this until the deck runs out of cards and whoever has the most pairs at the end of the game wins. So do you get how the game goes now?"
Both men nodded and they continued playing Go Fish.
