Chapter 16: Challenge
"Apparently there's a leak." You inform Bo'sun as he sneers at you and throws you in the small iron cell.
"What 'ave you done to my ship?" Jack exclaims, looking at the numerous holes in horror.
"Quiet!" Bo'sun orders as he flings Jack into the cell, slams the door shut and stomps up the stairs.
"Well," Jack says, shifting himself to sit up a little. "He's in a foul mood."
"That's all very well and good, but would ye mind gettin' off of me?" You say in a frustrated voice as Jack looks down at you, as if he's only just realized that he happened to land on top of you.
"I don't think I feel like it." Jack says with an impish grin as he rests both of his arms on the side of your head and lowers his face down towards yours, looking intently at you.
"Too bad then." You say with a smirk of your own as you swiftly hook your leg around his and flip the two of you over, so that you're now sitting triumphantly on Jack.
"Is that a challenge?" Jack says with a playful glint in his eyes.
You smirk simply widens in response, a playful glint in your eyes.
"I'll take that as a yes." Jack says as he swiftly grabs your wrists and pulls, making you loose your balance and giving him the chance he needs to regain his position on top.
You pout slightly as he pins your hands above your head and leans down to whisper in your ear.
"I win."
"Yes, ye've won. I give." You say, as you stop struggling and look up at Jack's triumphant smirk.
"Give what?" Jack asks, his grin widening. "I'd like a reward for me troubles."
"Oh, would ya now?" You ask, raising your eyebrow. "What is it ye'll be wantin' then?"
"Hmm..." Jack trails off in thought, the same smirk present on his face.
You look up at Jack after a moment of silence to find him staring down at you intently. You open your mouth to ask him what he's thinking, but the words are swiftly subdued as Jack's hand suddenly releases yours and tilts up your chin, brushing your lips against his own. You let out a small breath in shock and feel Jack smirk against your lips as his other arm wraps itself around your waist. Your arms slowly make their way around Jack's neck and you're finding yourself becoming addicted to the rum and spice flavor of Jack's lips. You hear shouts from on deck before the ship lurches, throwing you against the cell bars and Jack against the other wall.
"So," You say, attempting to salvage what's left of your pride under his smug gaze. "What are we goin' to do about this?"
"Well, we are all alone.." He trails off, grinning at you.
"Jack!" You yell and swat at his head. "I meant what are we going to do to get out of this cell! Get your mind out of the gutter."
"Oh." Jack says, looking slightly disappointed. He sits in silence for a moment before turning to you. "What did ye mean when you said my mind was in the gutter?"

Jacque woke to the sun shining uncaringly into her eyes and shouts coming from above deck. Opening her eyes groggily, she notices that Will had left and that her dress was laid out on a chair besides her bed. She does a double take and looks down to find that she is in her shift and realizes that someone had taken off her dress in an effort to ease her breathing. She blushes slightly as she realizes her hope that Will was the one to do it.
Sighing, Jacque looks at Barbossa's dress with disgust, immediately deciding that she wasn't going to wear it. Sitting up, Jacque looks around to find that she seems to be in the captain's cabin, and there's a large mahogany wardrobe against the far wall. Smiling to herself, Jacque gets up and opens its heavy doors to find neat rows of freshly pressed British uniforms lining the shelves. Grabbing a pair of white pants and a matching shirt, Jacque quickly dresses in the surprisingly comfortable uniform, disregarding the red jacket for a black vest.
Climbing the stairs up to the main deck, Jacque quickly scans the ship and finds Will standing with Elizabeth, who's talking with Anamaria and Gibbs.
"What's happening?" Jacque calls as she walks up the stairs.
"Jacque?" Will says, looking at her outfit in surprise. "What are you doing? You should be resting."
"Will,' Jacque says, standing next to him and looking him in the eyes. "I know you care, but I'm not a glass doll and won't break because of one fall. Now, will someone tell me what's happening that's making the whole crew scurry around in a panic?"
"The Black Pearl," Anamaria says grimly, "She's gaining on us."
"But this is the fastest ship in the Caribbean." Elizabeth states in a vain show of denial.
"You can tell them that after they've caught us." Anamaria replies.
"Wait," Jacque says as she stares out toward the sea surrounding them. "We're shallow on the draft, right?"
"Aye." Anamaria says, clearly unsure of what Jacque means to do.
"Well then," Jacque says after a moment of thought. "Can't we loose them amongst those shoals?"
"We don't 'ave to outrun them long, just long enough." Gibbs says slowly.
"Lighten the ship! Stem to stern!" Anamaria calls after a moment's deliberation.
"Anything we can loose! See that it's lost!" Gibbs barks to the crew, who spring into action.
"Wait," Will says as the men begin to unfasten the cannons and he looks back to the Pearl. "We're going to need that."
"It was a good plan," Anamaria says to Jacque, looking worriedly back at the Pearl as well, "Until now."
"Gibbs!" Will calls, running up the stairs to stand beside Jacque and Gibbs. "We have to make a stand. We must fight. Load the guns!"
"With what?" Anamaria says skeptically, looking lost.
"Anything! Everything!" Will says insistently in a commanding tone. "Anything we have left!"
"Load the guns!" Gibbs orders the crew. "Nails an' crushed glass! Anything we've got left!"
"But the Pearl's goin' to come up on our port side. They'll rake us without ever presenting a target." Elizabeth points out.
"Lower the anchor on the right side!" Jacque yells suddenly to Anamaria. "On the starboard side!"
"'It certainly has the element of surprise." Will says, putting a hand on Jacque's shoulder as she continues to stare at Anamaria, willing her to agree.
"You're daft, lady!" Anamaria yells in frustration. "You both are!"
"Daft like Jack." Gibbs says with a smirk on is face, before turning to the crew. "Lower the starboard anchor! Do it ye dogs or it'll be you that we'll be loadin' into the cannons!"
Jacque watches as the crew quickly lowers the anchor, and then realizes that the ship is still being held on course and that was forcing the ship to fight the pull.
"Let go!" She yells to Anamaria, who quickly complies.
"Keep us steady now!" Will yells as the Interceptor pulls alongside the Pearl.
Jacque looks nervously at the crew of the Pearl; she didn't want to fight a crew of undead pirates, especially when her only gun experience was the one- minute tutorial she'd just received from Gibbs.
"Now!"
*
You look at Jack, who currently has his face pressed against the wall in an attempt to see what's going on.
"They've pulled up next to us." Jack states for your benefit and turns back to look through the hole.
"Jack!" You yell in alarm, wondering what he's thinking to accomplish by pressing his face against the side of the ship that's about to be fired upon. "Get away from there!"
You grab his belt and pull him down to the floor just as what seem to be cooking utensils blow a hole in the hull wall where he was previously standing.
"Stop blowin' holes in me ship!" Jack yells to the wall before offering you his hand to help you up. "Thanks luv." He says with a sincere smile.
You blush and turn your head to find a fork embedded in the lock of your cell. Curious, you walk over to it, and lightly push on the door, surprised when it swings open easily.
Jack comes up from behind you and pushes the door open fully.
"Let's go, luv."

A/N: Sorry this is so late... hopefully the fluff in this will work as a bribe to keep you all from throwing rotten vegetables at me.
Ok, random question time: Has anyone heard Simple and Clean, the theme song from Kingdom Hearts? Well, it's been stuck in my head for about two months...
Py: Ok Sess, come out.
Sess: This is so degrading. *steps into room in black trunks with matching sunglasses on his head*
Py: Hey, be glad that I showed you mercy, I could've let you parade around in front of your own fan club...
REVIEW RESPONSES:
Niki1: Yeah, I sorta ignored Lizzy in this chap, but I'm tryin' really hard to realistically develop will an' Jacque's relationship, which is kinda hard. Thanks for the review!
SeXySuPeRsTaR: Thanks, were you serious when you said you'd do anything possible by computer? 'Cause I'd love to receive any sort of fanart.
Stacey Lofton: Thanks. I'm sure that you'll be blasted with information for your fic soon. In the meantime, you can always distract yourself with this ^.~
Bluelady198: Yeah, it was short. Sorry! Hope this is better! JACK! SESS! STRAWBERRIES!
She-hobbit: Thanks, I did listen to you, it just took a bit longer than you expected.
Pip: Thanks for the advice, but I can't get a laptop unless someone gives it to me 'cause I have no money. Actually, I'd probably need to get a job to get one, but seein' as I'm 15 and involved in two sports, I'm a little busy. I try to update every week, so I hope you can live with the updates being so far apart.
SleepingBeauty1988: Thanks, sorry about the long wait for this chappie.
QueenOfCurls: Sorry, no fluff for you in this one, but at least you appeared. Actually, you were in more of this chappie than me...
Ayashe: Thanks. Spanish 1 is fun, my teacher was really crazy and would call us all squirrels and weird stuff like that. Yeah, seeing as I have a movie script right next to me, I tend to follow the lines...
CastlesInTheAir: The stapler of supreme evil? Cool! We sould go on an item- of-supreme-evil/doom rampage, maybe we can threaten Disney until they give us ownership of PotC!
Kokoro: Hey. You're random. Get off my couch. Bring me something from the concert!
PLEASE REVIEW! IT'S THE NICE THING TO DO!
