This is just a one shot fic, I don't own the film, that's why it's a fanfiction and not an epic movie. Please review if you like it, I'll give you a cookie, as I did to my other reviewers. Now, onwards!

Chapter Three – Welcome Aboard

"Um…actually, there were summin I wanted to ask ye this time" Jack began, placing an arm around Eve's shoulders.

There is a little voice in everyone's head that tells them when to shut up. Jack's was currently working overtime, but just like the last time his little voice had been screaming "no", Jack was completely unable to comply. He knew he was going to regret ever asking what he was about to.

"Oh?" Eve asked, anticipating whatever he was about to ask

"Well…I wanted te ask ye summin"

"…yes…?"

"Uh…" He got up, his little 'stop now!' voice probably taking some form of charge over his speech.

He began pacing, much to Eve's amusement "Y'know if it's really such a hard thing to ask I'll still be here tomorrow"

"Aye…but I won't"

"Ye leavin me again then?"

"Aye, been in port 3 days, took me that long te get 'ere"

"Well, well, look at the famous Cap'n now"

Jack made an irritated noise in the back of his throat and began trying to vocalise whatever he wanted to ask. The string of noises coming out of his mouth made him sound like a raving lunatic and his hands were a blur of random movements.

"Oh for Christ's sake Jack, just bloody say it!" Eve said after a few minutes of watching him pace "It ain't like ye gonna be asking me to marry ye"

He made a frustrated noise and stopped pacing.

"Good Lord ye ain't askin me to marry ye are ye?"

"No!"

"Good"

"Just…forget it." He sat down "So er…do I get a teary embrace at any point or did the punch substitute it?"

"I may be a whore but at least I ain't stupid" She retorted "But the way ye left probably made ye think I were"

"Well, ye seemed to think I'd take ye with me"

"Aye well, I was probably still drunk"

"Just for curiosity's sake…what would ye have done if I 'ad let you come?"

"Bed the Cap'n"

Jack chuckled, "No complaints 'ear love, but what else?"

"I can cook, and any fool can swab a deck"

"But can ye hold a cutlass to a man's throat and steal 'is purse?"

"Who said ye had to hold a cutlass to a man to get his purse?" She smirked "Whores 'an pirates ain't so different in the long run, sides, we're all sinners"

Jack contemplated these words for a long while, also pondering how much rum he'd need later to make up for the lost time. He startled slightly when Eve got up and went to a cupboard, coming back with two bottles of the heavenly liquid…rum. Rum described the drink perfectly, fiery, strong and piratey. Eve handed him one of the bottles and he uncorked it with his teeth, chugging a large amount down after spitting the cork across the room. Eve's laughter filled the small space and she took out the cork of her bottle, drinking it down as well as any seasoned drinker.

"Yer right" Jack said after drinking down a large amount of the rum in the bottle.

"I know" Eve retorted, grinning widely "So tell me this Jack, were ye askin me all this crap unintentionally, or are ye wonderin if I be up to joining your crew 'o scallywags"

Jack nearly spat out his rum, women are not meant to be that bloody perceptive he thought furiously

"Well?" One of her eyebrows was raised and she was leaving her rum alone for the moment

"…aye" He said, his voice cracked from the burning he had received when the rum was spat out

"Aye"

"So ye'll come?"

"Why else would I be sayin Aye?"

"Mebbe you've never been to Singapore"

She grinned happily and swigged her rum "So when do we ship out Cap'n?"

"Dawn!" He roared, swigging from the rum noisily and throwing his arm around her

"Aye, aye Cap'n" She yelled as well, clinking her bottle with his.
