Lol it seemed like a few people had their own opinions about the kiss! So I guess you'll just have keep reading and see the outcome for yourself!

Jack's hand moved to the back of her head, threading his fingers through her hair. Jen felt herself being pulled to a standing position. Jack wrapped one arm around her waist, deepening the kiss as he did so. Jen put her arms around Jack's neck, pressing closer to him. Jack gradually pulled away. Jen stood there with a goofy smile on her face. She looked at Jack's face slowly. Suddenly, it dawned on her what she had just done. She started to run, swaying from the rum as she went, to her cabin. Jack watched her go, skidding down the stairs. He heard the slam of a door as well. Jack ran a hand through his own hair.

"Well that went well." He remarked, picking up the remaining bottles of rum and taking a swig from both.

Jen leaned against her door, wishing she weren't seeing double. She cursed loudly, burying her face in her hands. She had just fallen for the pirate captain. She took a step towards her bed and collapsed. Jen was now wishing she hadn't drank quite so much rum. She grabbed the mattress and managed to pull herself up. Lying in bed, she was now stuck wondering the 'what ifs'. Such as, what if Jack didn't really like her, he was just in need of amusement? Or, if she had kissed him first? Her head was spinning from too much rum, how would she know? Or perhaps, this possibility, maybe the worst of all, what if he really did like her as much as she liked him?! Jen turned over on the pillow, wishing she was thinking more straight. Finally, she was falling asleep, turning over what ifs in her mind.

The sun crept down the steps and into Jen's room that morning. Obeying the sun, she got up. And sat back down. Her head hurt like someone had just taken the blunt edge of an ax to it. The brightness of the sun was burning her eyes. Shutting them, she lay back down and buried her face in the pillow.

"Jen?" Jen heard Nicole calling.

"What?" She grumbled.

"What are you doing?" Nicole must've come closer since her voice was louder. Jen felt the bed shift as Nicole sat on the foot of it.

"Sh! Not so loud! I tried rum. The good news is it wasn't as bad."

"Aww, does little Jenny have a hangover?" Nicole teased. Jen grabbed the pillow and whacked Nicole with it.

"Be kind." Jen moaned as her head throbbed. Nicole switched into her big sister mode.

"I'll get you some water. It'll help." Nicole offered, heading off. Jen waited for Nicole to return. She heard the door slam and then lock.

"Thanks Nicole." Jen said as she reached out a hand for the water and her fingers wrapped around a cold glass. Jen drank it down in a few gulps. There was no answer from Nicole.

"Nicole, where are you?" She asked. No answer. Jen opened her eyes. It had gotten darker in the room since the door had shut. There was Jack, standing in front of her. He came over to the side of the bed and sat on the foot of it. Startled, Jen scowled.

"Get out of my room!" She pointed at the door. Jack grabbed her wrist and pinned it down to the bed.

"Not yet, luv. I need some answers." Jen's heartbeat quickened. Jack began rubbing the inside of her wrist with his thumb. Jen nodded solemnly.

"First and foremost," He began, Jen tensing up, "did you like the rum?" He asked with a slight grin. Jen couldn't help but grin back.

"Yes. The rum was fine." He nodded.

"Good, good. And second of all, did you like the other big event last night?" Jack asked. Jen avoided his eyes.

"I- I don't know what you're talking about." Jack's free hand moved to under her chin and gently raised her face so she would look at him.

"Really? It went like this." Jack leaned forward and kissed her again. Jen tried hard not to respond. Instead, she leaned forward and gave in to it. Jen's hand went around to the back of Jack's neck.. Jack pulled away grinning.

"It went like that." Jen reclaimed her wrist and leaned back on the pillows.

"Maybe I did like it and maybe I didn't."

"I don't have all day, savvy? Just answer, Jen." He said with an edge in his voice.

"Why does it matter?" She shot back. Jack stood up angrily.

"Because last night after you left, I had those two bottles of rum, I took a drink from each one and then threw them overboard! I've never gotten rid of rum before and my only explanation is you!" Jack burst out. Jen just stared.

"I'll cut to the point, I think I uh." Jack looked away, refusing to meet Jen's face. It was now Jen's turn to take hold of Jack's face and swivel it towards her.

"I think I fell for a pirate captain." Jen told him softly. He grinned.

"Exactly. Only vice versa." He explained quickly. Suddenly, there was a pounding on the door.

"Jen! Do you know where Jack is? Gibbs needs him and I sent him to give you water!" Nicole called.

"You'd better go." Jen remarked. Jack nodded and with a wink stood up and opened the door, and left. Nicole came in.

"You look better. Did the water help?" Nicole asked. Jen looked down at the floor where the empty cup had fallen.

"The water? I think it definitely helped."

The next two days passed all too quickly. On the third day, Jack was especially excited.

"There's the island! We're coming up on it!" Jack pointed out a coastline. The island didn't look especially big, but it wasn't too small either.

"Jack, do you know where the treasure is?" Jen asked. Jack shrugged.

"More or less." Jen rolled her eyes. That made her feel better. Jack looked around, saw no one looking, and grabbed Jen close, kissing the top of her head, then releasing her.

"I saw that." He said with a grin. Jen lowered her head to hide a smile and walked away. Jack was heading with strong determination towards the island. Gibbs came up next to Jack.

"Now Jack, I know you've been a captain a long time, and maybe I'm wrong, but the idea of captives isn't to fall in love with them." Gibbs growled. Jack grinned.

"Worry about your own fortune, Gibbs. My personal business isn't yours." Gibbs shot him a shady glance and stepped away. When they reached the island, Jack picked a group to come with him and a group to stay with the Pearl. Jen and Nicole were to go with Jack as well. They trekked across the beach for awhile, and then took a path into a forest. Jen looked down and shivered.

"A spider! Disgusting!" Jen said. Nicole jumped, grabbing Jen and using her as a shield to get around the said spider.

"Spider! Spiders!" Nicole squeaked, shuddering at the mention of the name. Jack suddenly stopped them.

"Here it is." He said, grinning. Jen looked up. There was on the beach, halfway down to the water. In front of the was a palm tree. Jack looked the tree from top to bottom. He pointed at the ground.

"Just like the rum cellar! Under the trees!" Jack said, grinning.

"Rum cellar?" Asked Jen. Jack waved it away.

"Long story. Anyway, here we dig!" The few members of the crew with Jack began to dig. Jack's eyes got narrower and narrower as the shovels dug deeper but hit nothing but sand.

"Can I see the map?" Asked Jen. The map had an X where the tree was. She handed it back.

"I got nothing." Nicole was leaning against the palm tree, watching the diggers. Then she looked up. Coconuts hung heavily from the branches.

"Hey! I want one!" Nicole climbed up into the tree.

"Nicole, get down!" Jen ordered. ]
"Jack, I think I found something!"
