Hi guys. It's been awhile, huh? OK, I have something for you with each
chapter from now on: A song and a thought/quote. This is the continuation
of the last chapter so it's gonna start over at the beginning of the last
chapter.
Disclaimer: He's still Disney's, they all are. Except Jack's drunk so I can say he's mine and he won't know the difference.
Jack: I'm not *that* drunk, love.
Me: You're drunk enough to call me love.
Jack: o.O I do that when I'm not drunk.
Me: You could go back in the closet. *fakes yelling* Lexxy!
Jack: *becomes paranoid and desperate* NO! I'm at your every whim, I'm yours. Just don't call her back!
Me: Yeah, that's what I thought.
Okay, song: Real World by Matchbox Twenty.
Thought: If you've never done the two-person shuffle or come around a corner and ran into someone coming around the same corner you've never been to high school. Or a grocery store.

The sun had risen and Will still wasn't awake. Jesse was, though. She wasn't exactly happy about going out to see... him. Jack. He had been hitting on her last night. At least she was pretty sure he had been. She knew she was pretty; a lot of people had told her that; but it was still a little disconcerting. At least when she was vulnerable like that. She shuttered and reminded herself that he had been drunk last night. It didn't help all that much. She sighed and headed for the deck anyway.
She had been hoping Jack had fallen asleep from drinking so much or gone back to his cabin, but no, he was standing at the helm, awake as ever. Drunk for sure, but still awake. "Damn." She said, not really meaning to say it aloud, but not caring that she did. Jack heard her and spun around. She approached him, slowly but surely. She was at least four or five feet away before he spoke.
"Come to tell me the other story, l-" Jesse brandished her sword and pointed it at Jack's throat. Her eyes dared him to finish. He held up his hands in mock defeat. He sighed as she pulled away her sword. Sure he had his, but it wasn't right. She was a woman. It wouldn't be a fair fight. He would have to get that sword away from her. Or else he might find a few things missin'. He shuddered to think of what she might 'slice' with that sword of hers.
He smiled weakly as she looked back up at him. "Tortuga, was it?" she asked, trying to change the subject before she lost her nerve. "Aye, that it was. Good ol' Tortuga. Women, rum, free food, rum..." "You already said rum. And the food is only free if you steal it." "Well rum is me favorite part o' Tortuga. And o' course I steal the food. You sure you're a pirate?"
Jesse looked at him as though he was speaking Greek. "Excuse me, monsieur? "French, eh?" "No but, a lot of people in Port James were. At least down at the docks." "Bonjour!" Jack cried. "Uh yes. Hello. I've been here ten minutes but, all right. "Not you," Jack said, pointing behind her. "Will!" Even Will looked a little surprised at Jack's enthusiasm.
"That would be me, yes..." He called back. "Will, my dear boy, how are you? Feeling all right? Not going to die suddenly or anything, eh?" "I wouldn't say I am, die that is, and I'm fine. Why with sudden concerns?" Will was getting suspicious. Why was he being so friendly like? Or at least what seemed to be Jack's idea of friendly. "We wouldn't want me bringing this ship into Tortuga all by me one-sies, now would we?"
Jesse coughed harshly and Jack ignored her. She seemed a little perturbed and kicked him in the shin. "Yeah, all by your one-sies. 'Cause I'm not a human being or anything of that sort." "You know I didn't mean it like that,...Uh, what should I be calling you, Jessica or Adrienne?" "Jesse. I wouldn't have a pirate call me anything else."
Will blinked thoughtfully. "Um, I'm kinda used to calling you Adi." "That's fine, you're not a pirate." Jack scoffed. If the other two could have heard him, he would have sounded like he was saying "His father was." "What?" Jesse snapped. He was annoying her more and more by the minute. And to think she was actually starting to like him last night... Jack looked at her as if he didn't know what she was talking about. "What?" Jesse rolled her eyes. This was going to be a long day.
*****************************
It had been 3 hours since Will had woken up and Jack already had Jesse doing rigging. "Blasted rope. Oh no, the ropes are fine all you have to do is make sure they're tight. Make sure they're tight my ass. Tie them in knots where they're about to split is more like it. OY, I'm gonna kill him before this is over."
Jack had just finished his eighth bottle of ale. There was still about twelve bottles of rum left. He walked to a spot right under Jesse. "How's it going, love?" That was it. Jesse had had enough.
She threw her dagger down and it landed right in between Jack's legs. She jumped down really gracefully, landing right in front of him. Jack realized what he had just said and backed away. Under his breath he muttered Oh, shit. "I didn't mean it Jess, it just...slipped out. It was an accident. Come on, can't we talk this over?" Jesse's eyes flashed. She drew her sword quicker than she had jumped down. Now Jack could tell she was a pirate.
**************************
Is that a cliffhanger? I think it just may be. Is Jack going to die? Is Jesse? Are they ever going to visit Mr. Roger's neighborhood? Um, yeah. Lexxy, where are you? I know you did that. And well... You know they're not gonna die, but someone could come close... Stay tuned!
