Thank you every one for reviewing, it makes my days so much better, you don't even know. Okay, now for our....favorite part, the disclaimer (tries to grin, but grimaces instead).
Disclaimer: Cap'n Borgonia: PotC is MINE, ALL MINE!
Disney Exec.: No Miss Borgonia it isn't, this movie and all items related to it are the legal property of Disney Inc., as stated in these copyright documents (waves doc's in air)
Cap'n Borgonia: Gimme those! (dives for doc's)
(furious Tug-o-war battle ensues over copyright documents, ending in the papers being ripped in half)
Cap'n Borgonia: Well... Actually, now it is not yours, the document has been torn in two, thereby nullifying your claims on the movie and all its propaganda...HAH!
Disney Exec.: Hey! I'm the only one aloud to use big words here!(pouts)
Cap'n Borgonia: (to readers) You know, it's really quite sad how whiny company exec's can be.

Ch. 5: The Sparrow and the Falcon
(Last chap: Alexandra reappeared a few minutes later carrying a pack and a medium sized leather bag.)
Jack watched her come from below deck, her chocolate colored boots complimenting the light brown of her eyes, and the chocolate brown of her hair. He was surprised when she stopped directly in front of him. They looked at each other for a minute, and Jack began to wonder if she was expecting him to take her bag. Deciding to swallow his pride and play the gentleman, he reached for the bag, but she pulled it away. "I did not ask you to take my bag, thank you. I do not need help, I am perfectly capable myself, savvy?"
All three looked at her in amazement. Jack was beginning to feel furious. Not only had she come very close to invading his personal space when she stopped in front of him, but then she didn't say a word to him! When he had tried to be civil she had only snapped at him, and on top of all of that, the blasted woman had used one of his favorite words! No...his word! However, he had to hand it to the girl, she had spirit. 'So far she's a bloody pain. Still, this is not your normal girl' he thought. Will and Liz looked from Alexandra to Jack not knowing what to think.
"Fine then lass, but 'tis not often I offer to help...or play the gentleman. Savvy?"
"Really?" she retaliated, cocking her head to one side. "Well, thank you for the warning. I shall remember it for future reference."
"Well," Will stated, breaking the tension, "I don't know about you Miss...?"
"Halcon, H-A-L-C-O-N, with a silent 'H'."
"So you're Spanish decent?" Jack asked, trying to think of something other than his anger, but to no avail. 'No wonder, she's got a temper' he thought.
"Yes, I am Spanish," she replied, clipping her words short in her frustration with the man.
"Halcon? Does that mean something?" Liz interceded, as Alexandra was about to add to her reply. Alexandra's mannerism changed practically immediately, from frustration, bordering on anger, to something that seemed like a cross between eagerness and content. It was almost as if she were thrilled with the thought of sharing her language and culture with them, even Jack. "Yes," she said, rewarding Elizabeth's look of curiosity with a radiant smile, "yes it does. It means falcon, or hawk."
Jack was stunned at the change, and looked at her with a renewed interest. As she spoke to all of them in turn, answering questions mostly, Jack watched her eyes move around the area, examining the different shops, when they came to rest on a nearby bakery. "Ye know Will, I think I'm about ready to eat. How 'bout all of you?" Jack interrupted, taking the girl's subconscious hint.
"Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea Jack! I had almost forgotten all about our basket!" Liz exclaimed. "Are you hungry Alexandra?" The girl sighed and rolled her eyes. "Please, don't make the same mistake Whitting does."
"What is that?"
"My name is pronounced A-lay-han-dra, not A-lex-zan-dra, but yes...eating sounds wonderful!"
Liz smiled at her then took Will's arm, then started walking off. Moments later an arm was offered to her too. She turned to see Jack not only offering his arm, but also doing so good-naturedly, and smiling. So, not knowing quite what to think about his sudden attitude change, she smiled back, and, looking somewhat unsure, took his arm. He then proceeded to lead her off in the same direction as Liz and Will.
As they walked, Alexandra observed Jack out of the corner of her eye. She had to admit, he was handsome in a rustic, roguish sort of way, with his dark hair, and mixture of braids and dreadlocks with all manner of beads and baubles intertwined in them. His skin was beautifully tanned, well, what she could see, anyway. And his eyes! They were so deep a brown, they were almost black, but they were soulful. She felt the moment she had looked into them on the ship, that if she wasn't careful she might very well get lost in them and never find her way out. That was the last thing she needed, or wanted. Yes, she decided, this man would pose a threat to her. He was smarter, and observed more than he let on, and that could be bad...with her spirit, and thirst for freedom from this dreadful life on land. True he didn't seem as uptight as most men, but she didn't want to take chances, and she had a feeling that he was adept at reading emotions...so she would have to remain on guard, at all times, no matter what.

Every one...please don't kill me! I'm SO SORRY it's taken me so long to update! And you all know that if I weren't a captain I would beg forgiveness...but seeing as I am one, (sigh) I'll just have to resort to bribery and (valid) excuses.
Bribery: if you forgive me, I'll send you each a genuine Aztec gold coin like the one in the movie, curse and all. (special curses must be ordered in advance)
Valid Excuse(s): I've had really bad news from my school causing me to work my butt off, and I've been really really sick (nothing new for me true, but when you've got health issues like I do even something small flares things up to where ya have to go to the ER).
Now, if I promise to be a good little authorette, and update ASAP, will you be good little reviewers for me? Thanks!
Oh! And Destiny, if you're reading this, I'm sorry I didn't call back, but the day you called I was in the ER! Fun huh?
