Disclaimer- Lets get this straight, you all know I don't own a bloody thing….bugger…. so instead of saying all that crap I usually say I've decided to place the facts of life (no not those you perve) here.

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood plasma

There ya go, if you and Jack and/or Will and one of you were injured, you could help them by…using…the…coconut. Yeah!!!

~*Previously of ASBAON*~ Jack and Will stole…sorry, sorry commandeered the Interceptor, Sam had a heart to heart with Elizabeth. (Yeah not much happened)

~*Final Line*~"So it would seem." Growled Norrington watching Jack and Will sail off into the distance.

Sorry for taking sooooooooooooo long to update. I've just finished school for this year and I've just finished having a HUGE X-mas party, it was great and I only got a little tipsy this time, go me! But now I have 6 WEEKS off to get this story into the greatness that it will become. Or something like that.

I would like to thank all my lovely reviewers, yous have all done a great job and I love going into my mailbox and finding great review from you all and to express my gratitude I would like you to have a Giant giraffe plush-toy from Taronga Zoo with a cardboard cut-out of Jack and Will riding it.

A STORY BY ANY OTHER NAME

Sailing towards Tortuga, the Interceptor was going at a gentle pace, giving the two passengers a time to rest and talk.

"When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father." Will said as he sharpened his sword.

"Is that so?" Jack asked he seemed to be starting to bore of this 'Bonding" thing that was happening.

"My father, Will Turner. And in jail it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father."  Will stoped playing with his sword ;) and leaned forward to study Jack.

"I knew 'im. Probably one the few who knew him as William Turner, everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill" Jack said looking thoughtfully at the sky then at Will.

"Bootstrap?" Will asked standing up to look Jack in the eye.

"Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him."

"It's not true, he was a merchant sailor; a good, respectable man who obeyed the law"

"He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag." Jack said turning to face Will who was looking hard at him.

"My father was not a pirate." Will said taking out his sword and pointing it at Jack.

"Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again."

"You didn't beat me; you ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd killed you."

"That's not much incentive for me to fight fair then, is it?" Jack turned the wheel and moved the sails so that the yard catches Will and swings him out over the sea. "Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance – you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday. And me, for example, I can let you drown but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So…" Jack brought him back on board and offered him his sword. "Can you sail under the command of a pirate or can you not?"

"Tortuga?"

"Tortuga!!"

*************************************************************************

Meanwhile aboard the Black Pearl, Sam and Scums were discussing ….well no-one really knew what they were talking about.

"What about…….Snakes?" asked Sam

"No" Scums said shaking his head.

"Jack rabbits?"

"Nope"

"Hippopotamuses?"

"No-way"

"Mice?"

"Getting colder"

"Ooooooohhhhhhh Sharks"

"Nope, do you give up?"

"No….." Sam looked around and spotted Jack.

"MONKIES"

"What how'd you guess" Scums looked stunned

"Well, you always give Jack a wide berth, so I figured that that's what you were scared of!" Sam Said a-matter-of-a-factually.

"Oh good spottin'. Well hows about yous?"

"You'll neva guess"

"Try-me"

"Go on then"

"Frogs?"

"Nope not even close"

"Snakes?"

"Not really"

"Grrrr um, um"

"You'll never guess" Taunted Sam,

"Just tell me!" Scums hollered causing a few pirates to turn and stare at them.

"You're really bad at these games you know"

"Yes, yes know TELL ME!!"

"I am afraid of………………. NOTHING" Cheered Sam

"Bull… I bet you are!"

"Ok I am a little afraid of……moths" whispered Sam

"WHAAAAT you've gotta be joking" Laughed Scums

"Hey you're scared of Jack so I wouldn't be laughing"

"Yeah but they can get diseases and stuff"

"Yeah like you could really die from that"

"I could … Oh wait no I can't, hay maybe its time for me to overcome my fear, you can help me too, and let's do it discreetly. And what about moths, what can they do, flap you with its wings?"

"Yeah well Moths can get…" but before Sam could finish speaking, a shudder was felt through the ship and just after that happened a crash was heard on the port side of the ship.

"ALL HANDS ON DECK!" yelled Barbossa. Scums jumped up and ran over to a rope and started pulling on it, Sam didn't know why but just in case it was bad she made her way towards the cabins. Now she wasn't one who usually ran from a fight, well she really wasn't, but this was between the pirates and didn't wanna get involved.

*********************************************************************************************

"What is going on outside?" Asked Elizabeth as Sam came in.

"Oh they're baking a cake and the cake batter exploded causing everyone to DIE…watchya reckon Lizzie they is another ship attacking us" she said as she plopped herself down on the bed.

"There is no need to be sarcastic, what do you think will happen? Will we be taken hostage again by these new pirates? What if Will can't find me…Us? We might be killed!" Elizabeth started to ramble.

"Lizzie, Lizzie calm down your hyperventilating." Sam got up from the bed and put her arm around her. "They won't lose the fight. They are most likely become the hostages, and Bloody Will is gonna find us. Just calm down. And would you stop saying that we're gonna DIE! We're Not"  Suddenly that noise outside stopped.

"Hmmmm I'm gonna go back out, you can come if ya want."

"I think I will be fine right here thankyou"

"O.K, Oh By the way, Barbra, AKA Barbossa, is gonna have dinner with us tonight."

"WHY"

"I dunno, but I'm up for some food. Seeya" and with that Sam bounced out of the room leaving Elizabeth to think, something she had done too much of in the last 48 hours.

********************************************************************************

Sam wonder out on deck to find a deck full of men, dead, injured and captured, Barbossa was standing with his sword drawn talking to one of the strange men. Sam turned around just in time to see a burning ship sink into the sea. She looked around to see if she could find Scums, she couldn't. She sighed and walked over to one of the crew who she knew as Pete, he looked as though he was around her age but because of the curse he could be 100 yrs old for all she knew, he had blond sandy hair that framed his face and a deep tan form being in the sun too much. Just then she noticed that all of the Pearl's crew had their swords drawn and were facing them at the strangers.

''Wow'' Sam wondered out loud "What I said came true" this caused a few people to turn and stare.

"What!?! Haven't you seen a girl before?" Sam accused, they turned back around to watch Barbossa.

"They don't usually see women on Pirate ships, unless they are shackled or in a brig" Pete said.

"I hope you don't intend on shackling me or throwin' me in the brig" Sam said turning to him.

"No, you are quite right, we wouldn't do that to you, to be honest as a pirate can be," Pete lowered his voice. "Most of us are scared of you; you are very intimidatable ever since you beat up Bo'sun"

"Really, Coolies!" Smiled Sam

"But you didn't hear it from me" Pete touched his nose and they looked back at the group who was know being ordered into the brig.

"So what happened?" asked Sam

"Well, they attacked us because they wanted to be know for capturing the "Devil Ship" but it backfired and we captured them"

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH sucked in"  

"Yep"

"Do you know where Scums is?"

"Ummm he is, well um, I don't know how to say this Sam but umm…." Pete Stuttered.

"Just say it then" urged Sam

Pete Lowered his head "He's dead, killed by a cannon ball, it missed the boat and hit him, sending him over the side, I'm sorry, and I know how well you two got along." Pete looked up into Sam's stunned teary eyes. "I'm sorry" he couldn't stay there much longer she was already starting to make him feel a bit teary and pirates are not meant to cry.

Sam was crushed, when she made a friend she usually kept them for life, she hadn't lost a friend yet and the first "friend" she'd made on the ship, this was an unbearable moment. She walked over to the cabin door and laid her head against it. Her tears making her emerald dress turn a dark green in places they fell. She pushed her hair out of her face and opened the door to see Elizabeth turn and her face fall.

"Samantha what's wrong"

And with those three words she ran into Elizabeth's arms and cried until she had no more tears.
