A Secret Surprise

Chapter 1

The sun was just rising, and the sky was illuminated with colors of red, orange, and yellow. Jack Sparrow stood at the helm of the ship with his hands resting lightly on the wheels. He had just woken up and taken the wheel back from Gibbs who had been steering the ship for a night. No one else was awake yet, and the ship was quiet. To amuse himself until the others awoke, he began to sing quietly to himself.

"We're devils and black sheep. We're really bad eggs."

"Drink up me hearties yo ho." came another voice from behind him, but it wasn't another male's voice. It was a female's voice. He grinned before turning around already knowing who it was.

"Good morning' luv." Jack said as he turned to face Elizabeth. "Now where might William be this morning?"

"He's still getting ready." Elizabeth told Jack. "Surprising though considering we woke up at the same time…"

Jack had only one thing to say to that. "Eunuch."

"Jack…" Elizabeth said warningly while Jack only smiled at her. She gasped as somebody grabbed her waist from behind her though she quickly realized who it was. "Nice to see you've made it Will." she said to him while turning around. She planted a quick kiss on his lips.

"And where's my kiss, luv?" Jack popped in cheekily. He smirked at her and puckered his lips as if expecting a kiss.

Now it was Will's turn to say something. "Jack…" he said to him just as Elizabeth had. He soon changed to subject, not wanting any trouble to rouse. "Where might we be docking next Jack?"

"Captain Jack. Captain. Why can't anyone get me bloody name right?" he said to Will. "But for your information, we'll be docking at Tortuga next. Ye'll be wanting to keep a watch on your lady there."

Elizabeth sighed. She hated Tortuga so much. Not only did it serve a vile drink so much, but everyone there was drunk and on a search for a prostitute. "How long will be there?" she asked exasperated.

"We should be arriving there tomorrow morning'." he told there. "We'll board the Black Pearl late that night." Elizabeth grinned upon hearing this glad she wouldn't have to be there too long.

All across the deck, footsteps could be herd as the rest of the crew began to emerge from their sleeping quarters. Jack along with Elizabeth and Will were the only ones with their own rooms. The crew slowly marched up onto the helm to get their orders from the Captain.

"Where should we be startin' Captain?" Anamaria asked Jack. Jack contemplated for a minute on where to put each person. "Anamaria, check all the ropes on the ship to be makin' sure they not tangled. Cotton, check all the sails, and wake Gibbs in an hour. Elizabeth, darling, could you go start breakfast. And the rest of you, just find something to do."

The crew began to walk away in their separate directions. Then it hit Jack he hadn't told them of their next stop. "Oh wait everyone." he called out to them. They all stopped and turned in his direction. "I forgot to tell ye, but we'll be dockin' in Tortuga tomorrow morning for a day. That's all." The crew grinned before walking away except Anamaria who scowled slightly. Tortuga was not a women's town after all.

The day was spend sailing to Tortuga and passed quite uneventfully. At night, after dinner, the crew retired to their bunks, but Jack, Elizabeth, and Will moved up to the helm to talk for a while. As Jack steered the ship, they talked of future plans for the ship. Because of the Black Pearl's speed however, they approached Tortuga earlier than expected. Will and Elizabeth were about to head back to their room, but they had decided to stay to help Jack dock the boat. "Best not wake the crew." he told them. "We'll be waitin' until tomorrow to enter Tortuga. I'll just get Gibbs to guard the ship while I sleep a little."

With that, Jack headed off into the bunks, and Will and Elizabeth headed off to their room. Will and Elizabeth reached their room, and Will opened the door for Elizabeth. "Thank you." she said to him for his courtesy as he moved off to the side so that she could enter first.

"Anything for you m'lady." he said to her bowing as he grinned. Quickly, they both changed for bed. Will took of his shirt before climbing in and Elizabeth slipped into a nightgown. Elizabeth got under the covers as well and leaned over to kiss Will. "Good night, Lizzie. Will told her using her nickname that he had for her. They then both drifted off to sleep.

Jack entered the bunk area and shook his head at the poor state of it. He climbed over clothes, trunks, and bottles of rum that littered the area. Sure his cabin room wasn't all that clean, but it was much larger and able to handle that much junk. Finally, he reached Gibbs' bunk with no harm to him surprisingly and shook him awake. Gibbs groaned not wanting to be woken, but rolled out of his bunk. Jack and Gibbs walked outside, and before Jack could say anything, Gibbs noticed they weren't sailing.

"We be docked already Cap'n?" he asked Jack.

Jack nodded. "We've landed in Tortuga early, but I figured that we would still stay aboard until morning'. I want you to keep watch on the ship tonight. No drinkin', and no fallin' asleep." he told Gibbs sternly. Jack didn't want anything happening to the Black Pearl. Especially not after everything he had done to get it back.

"Aye Cap'n." Gibbs said before grabbing a box and setting it on the deck where people would board if they tried. He leaned back against the wall. "I'll keep a sharp eye Cap'n."

Satisfied, Jack walked away into his cabin and pulled off his boots and shirt before grabbing a bottle of rum. Taking a few quick sips of it, he fell into his bed and fell asleep quickly.
