"We're going to do what?" Will asked incredulously.

We were hiding behind some rocks, looking out at the bay towards the ships. Will, who doesn't seem too smart (A/N: Sorry to the Will fangirls, but you must remember that Rachel doesn't like Will!), thought we were going to commandeer the Dauntless. 'Honestly, *why* did we have to get stuck with him,' I thought, somewhat exasperated.

"We're going to commandeer *that* ship," I said, and pointed to the Interceptor. Then I looked at Jack. "How exactly are we going to do that?"

He simply smirked. "You'll see," he said. He looked at Will. "One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl - how far are you willing to go to save her?"

Will looked a bit miffed before replying. "I'd die for her," he stated boldly. I rolled my eyes. Come to think of it, I'd been rolling my eyes a lot lately.

"Oh good, no worries then."

~*~*~

"This is either madness or brilliance," said Will, looking quite nervous.

"I'm going with the former," I stated, stepping over a crab trap. "Watch out for that," I warned, but it was too late. Will had already stepped in it.

Jack seemed oblivious to Will's preoccupation with extracting the trap from his foot.

"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide," he commented.

Currently we were in the water. Actually, we were under the water, walking underneath a little row boat. The idea was quite brilliant really, but I was loathe to tell Jack this. 'I'll need to remember this little trick,' I thought, making a self-note.

We soon came to the Dauntless, and boarded by sneaking up the side. Once on the main deck, we saw the redcoats. Naturally, Jack sauntered up like he owned the place. "Everyone stay calm! we are taking over the ship," he exclaimed, waving his pistol around. 'His pistol with *one* shot,' I reminded myself. 'It's a good thing those lobster-backs don't know that.'

"Aye! Avast!" Will added, making a fool of himself. Jack and I looked at him like he was insane. The British soldiers simply laughed.

"Um...yeah. Swash, swash, buckle, buckle," I said mocking him. He either didn't hear me or ignored me, because I didn't get his trademarked "withering look". 'Pity,' I though sarcastically. 'At least Jack looked amused.'

"This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay," one particularly annoying redcoat pointed out, sneering slightly. 'Am I invisible here? Just because I'm a woman doesn't make me helpless!' I thought.

"You! You're Norrington's little stooge!" I exclaimed in recognition. The redcoat blushed slightly, and looked annoyed. "Well, mate, you've got nothing to worry about. I'm sure we can handle everything," I said in mock reassurance. Norrington's little stooge looked nonplused, and seemed to have ignored me all together. 'What *is* it with these people?' I thought, outraged.

Jack stepped in for me. He pointed his pistol at the offending redcoat and cocked it. "Son...I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?"

That obviously did the trick, because pretty soon the redcoat, whom Will identified as Gillette ('What kind of a name is that??!'), and the rest of his men had abandoned the ship and had taken off in one of the boats.

"Act like you're trying to set sail," ordered Jack, glancing over his shoulder at where the Interceptor was anchored.

So the three of us proceeded to look like idiots. "I feel like a retard," I commented grimly, as I tossed a rope from the rigging around uselessly.

"That's the point love," Jack answered.

"What did I tell you about that "love" business?" I snapped, sending him a glare that could freeze fire. He was about to retort when Will cut him off.

"Here they come," he said, looking excited. Jack and I both turned to look. (A/N: The scene where Jack looks sooo sexy!!^_-) Sure enough, the Interceptor had set sail, and was making straight for us.

"Now's our chance," Jack said as the Interceptor drew up alongside the Dauntless.

"Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges!" I heard Norrington order. But it was too late. We had already swung aboard the Interceptor. Jack cut the ropes and we were soon drifting away. It was then that Norrington noticed our escape. "Sailors, back to the Interceptor! Now!" he yelled, looking distraught.

"What an *idiot*!" I laughed, making faces at him. One of the sailors tried to swing across to the Interceptor, but it was to no avail. I peered over the rail at the fallen sailor splashing around in the water. "Frightful bad luck mate!" I called down to him. He gave me a look that was almost identical to the ones I usually received from Will. I smirked back at him.

"Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way! We'd have had a hard time of it by ourselves." I heard Jack yell. I turned to see him grinning like a madman at Norrington.

The soldiers opened fire on us, and I ducked behind the rail. "We had better get out of range of the Dauntless's cannons," Will said, looking back at it nervously.

"Not to worry lad. Jack's already thought of that. He's disabled the rudder chain," I replied. Thinking this to be too kind of a reply for Will I also added "It's good thing you weren't in charge of this, or else we would've been sent down to Davey Jones' already."

"You're despicable," Will muttered, shaking his head and going off to join Jack at the helm. Once we were out of their range of fire, I joined them.

"Well, that was easy," I commented lightly.

Jack nodded. "All in a day's work," he said self-importantly. Will and I both rolled our eyes at this, and I turned and walked over to the railing to look out at the water. Will had walked off to inspect the ship. "You finally got *your* ship," Jack said.

I turned around so I was leaning carelessly on the rail. "Aye, and it's about time. I would've had it all to me onesies of you hadn't have come and ruined it for me," I retorted.

Jack feigned looking apologetic. "I'm terribly sorry love, but now you've got the better deal."

"Uh-huh. Sure. And what, *Captain* could possibly be better then having this ship to meself?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Having me along with it of course!" he replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I didn't have anything good to say to this. "You wish," I finished lamely. There was a moment of silence. "Where're we headed to anyway?" I asked while I watched Will disappear down the steps into the hold of the ship.

"Tortuga," said Jack flatly.

"Tortuga?"

"Aye, Tortuga."

"It's been a while since I've been there." And it had been. The last time I was there was before my beloved ship had been taken from me. I left that minor detail out of the conversation though. "A great town, Tortuga. And some of the best taverns in the Caribbean." The thought of rum cheered me up sufficiently.

Jack was watching Will approach us. "Time to deal with the whelp," he said.

"I'll let you deal with him. I don't think he likes me."

Jack shot me an amused looked. "It seems to me the feelings mutual."

"Damn right!" I replied. "He started it though."

"Yes, well, in a minute he's not going to like me anymore than he like's you."

"Erm...Jack, what exactly *are* you going to do to him anyway?" I asked.

"Don't worry love, it won't hurt him. It'll be good for him actually."

Shrugging, I went back to staring at the endless blue-green of the Caribbean Sea.
