Jack scurried around the new ship, trying to follow Scarlett so he could talk to her.

"Scarlett, could you slow down for just one second and let me talk to you?" She stopped at the helm and gave him her attention.

"Talk."

"Scarlett, what are you doing here? Last I saw of you, you were in Tortuga at The Faithful Bride."

"Rumrunners came into port there and the captain took a fancy to me. I decided to go sailing with them for a while and then come back." Jack looked around for the captain but could not find one.

"Where's the captain now?"

"He fell overboard a few days ago." She sniggered like it wasn't an accident. "So, Jack, what were you doin' on that island?" She sidled up next to him.

"Sight-seeing." He smiled and looked around at the sea to avoid her indecent outfit. All he could think about was Amanda. He smiled a bit when he thought of her beautiful face and hair and smile and-

"Jack! I'm talking to you!" Scarlett's hand met his face again and sent him flying.

"Do you have to do that?" He rubbed his throbbing cheek and stayed down on the deck.

"Sorry Jack. You annoy me sometimes." She walked off leaving Jack on the ship's prow.

The next morning, they had reached Tortuga.

Meanwhile, Bootstrap came back to Amanda's cell, tired, angry and with the necklace.

"What took you so long?" He smiled.

"Sorry, it took me a while to find someone who knew how to put a hole in a coin." He rolled his eyes and gave it to her. She put it on and hid it in her dress's neckline.

"Is the crew back yet?"

"Not that I know of. It's just us." He brought out a package from his pocket. "Look, I got you something." She took it.

"Oh! You didn't have to get me anything!" She opened it to find a blue ring with a silver band. She looked back up at him with tears in her eyes. "It's beautiful." She slipped it on her thumb because it was very large.

"I saw it and knew that you had to have it."

"I don't know what to say. Thank you." She leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. In a sudden moment of his head, she was kissing his lips. He didn't kiss like Jack; he was sweet and Jack was wild. Jack! She remembered him and broke away.

"Amanda, I'm sorry." He ran up to the deck.

Author's note: Sorry about that kiss, they were screaming to do it. I love it when my characters take over the story for me.

'What just happened?' She thought. She had kissed Bootstrap. But she loved Jack! She heard voices on deck. One was Bootstrap's for sure, but she couldn't place the second. Bootstrap came back down, looking happy about something.

"Amanda, please forgive me for what I did. It was wrong. You love Jack and I'm a married man. I didn't mean to."

"No offense taken, William. It's okay."

"You're a very beautiful woman, Amanda. You and Jack will make a wonderful couple."

"How do you know that he's still alive? He's dead for sure." She didn't believe her words, but she couldn't think of anything better to say.

"I know Jack. He's Captain Jack Sparrow. And you're Amanda Swann. Birds of a feather flock together." She laughed a little at his joke. "Thanks for understanding, Amanda."

"No problem." She sat down and expected him to leave, but he stayed.

"Well, now that that's cleared up..." He leaned up against the cell and a hooded figure skipped down the stairs and landed with a thud into the brig.

The figure threw back its hood. And it was-

Dun dun dun! Who is it?? Give me your best guesses and you get to decide what happens in the next chapter!
