OKay sorry if there are any errors, had to rush and get this out cause my computer is in need of serious fixing and I don't know how long it will take to fix it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or any of the characters. This is just my theory of what happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack Sparrow had made Tortuga his new home for the next eight years. Now and then he would find a small crew to help him bring back some treasure. Yet most of the time he would spend at bars or in small hotels, either with company or just by himself. He wouldn't stay out of Tortuga for long, he was waiting for the Black Pearl to return.

It wasn't like he just expected his crew to welcome him back, open arms. He would approach them with some deal or another and make it impossible for them to refuse. Yes, Jack Sparrow would once again be the captain of the Black Pearl someday. But even if he didn't have the Pearl he still insisted people call him Captain.

One morning after one of Captain Jack Sparrow's ...entertaining....nights, Jack awoke to find sunlight pouring in through the window. Next to him lay Scarlett, some prostitute he had picked up off the street. She, like all the other women he had picked, meant nothing to him really, they were just there for his amusment and nothing more.

Jack pushed the sheets off him and stood up, stretching as he yawned. He got changed and left his effects in the room as he headed down stairs to eat some breakfast. Sitting at the bar, Jack ordered his food, once it was placed in front of him he began eating. Around his were a few drunks sleeping, however there were two men who were also awake and eating breakfast. Something they were talking about caught Jack's ear as he listened closely, pretending to be interested in his food.

"Yeah and so old Bern heard the both of 'em talkin', The Black Pearl's gunna attack Port Royale tomorrow night" One of the men said.

"I pitty 'em...although it's a shame 'bout the ships" The second man said.

"Yeah, finest ships in the Caribbean or so said, hate to see them in Davie Jones Locker ey?" The first man them stopped the conversation when he realized Jack was looking and listening. The man glared at him and Jack took it as a sign to exit.

He left his half full plate on the bar as he rushed up stairs to his room. He walked over to the bedside table and took hold of his effects, that's when Scarlett awoke.

"Jack Sparrow, where you goin' ?" She asked in her annoying accent and voice.

"Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow" Jack said as he put his effects on and walked out the door. Scarlett followed him down the hallway a few seconds later after throwing on a robe.

"Get back 'ere you bloody pirate" Scarlett said as she rushed after him,"Where you goin'?"

"Port Royale, no yeh can't come with me an' no, I don't know when I'll be back. Don't wait aroun' luv, buhbye" Jack said as he waved with with usual smile and walked out of the hotel inn.

In his mind Jack had the plan all worked out, he'd go to Port Royale and wait for the Black Pearl, if it didn't show up then he'd just comandeer one of the fleet ships that would be docked. Either way he'd return to Tortuga with a crew and his very own ship, which ever it may be.

Jack swaggered down to the docks and looked around, he would need a boat. Something small but not too small and it had to be strong enough to get him across to Port Royale.

Suddenly he spotted it, the perfect boat, just big enough and it was built strong too. He walked over to it and sat down, beginning to untie it until a voice stopped him.

"Ey! Yeh scurvy dog get away from me boat!"

Jack looked up to see someone standing pround, looking down on him. Their image was silueted against the sun and so Jack couldn't see their face. He stood up and stepped back onto the deck. Only to see that the voice belonged to a female pirate.

"Terribly sorry, thought it was mine...miss....?"

"Not miss....jus' AnnaMaria" The woman said as she shook Jack's hand,"An it's my boat an' not yers so she can shove off then savvy?"

"Now Anna, there's no need for harsh tones between us pirates aye?" Jack said as yet another one of his brilliant plans unfolded in his head,"Let me buy yeh a drink"

It wasn't long before Jack had entered a pub with Anna following, they sat down and Jack began to work at his plan. He eventually got Anna drunk and lost her in the busy pub before heading down to the docks and...borrowing her boat without permission.

[Cut Scene to a beach somewhere in the Caribbean]

A lad and his lady friend swam in the clear waters of the caribbean, they were looking at the tropical fish that lingured in shallow waters when suddenly the boy spotted something. He came above water to tell his friend.

"There's a cannon underwater" He said, a bit puzzled, no one really dumps a cannon into the water without having a great reason.

"Shall we get it out?" The girl asked, soon they had gathered a small group of men, they went down to the bottom of the ocean. After a few minutes they had returned with an end of rope. They heaved until finally they had pulled the cannon up onto the shore where the men began to inspect it.

Hanging from the cannon's shaft was a pair of old boots. What had happened to Boot-Strap Bill? No one really knows...
