Jupiter woke up and it looked to be about six in the morning. She sat up and cracked her neck. It was kinked in many places. She sheilded her eyes from the sun and looked at Jack. 'Today.' She stood up and brushed herself off. 'I'm going to get some answers.' She wondered how to wake Jack up, this was a hard task because she suspected he was drunk. She got down on her knees and slapped his arm. He was still snoring away. Jupiter rolled her eyes and smacked his face softly. He still didnt stir. She put her face down near his ear and screamed. 'JACK!' Jack opened his eyes and sprung up, his confused expression was hilarious. Jupiter laughed softly and looked at Jack. 'Jack I need you to answer some questions for me, I am not grasping some of the things that has happened this week.' Jack blinked and took some time for the words she said to register in his head. He nodded and rubbed his eyes. Jupiter sat down and grabbed Jacks arm. 'Sit.' He flopped down beside her and cleared his throat. She patted the edge of the boat and nodded. 'You know that Barbossa guy? The one you said that was dead?' Jack nodded and looked at her. 'He stole the ship for some time and Will and I went to get it back. Its a long story.' She raised her eyebrow and brought her knees to her chin. 'If he was dead then how did he come back to life?' Jack cleared his throat and lifted his hand. His hand expressions were weird, he always used his hands. 'Well luv, I am told that before they died, someone....I dont know exactly how because WIll was standing right beside the chest of gold but someone stole a peice of the gold and I am told that Barbossa faked his death....but what I dont understand is that there was blood.' Jupiter scratched her head. She didnt understand any of it. 'I have more answer.' Jack motioned for her to go on with his hands. 'How did Will and Elizabeth know we were here? How did they get a hold of the ship?' Jack looked over and saw Gibbs standing over by the other side of the ship. Gibbs winked and Jack pointed to Gibbs. 'Well it was all Gibbs you see. We were 'marooned' and Gibbs got word. Elizabeth and Will were wondering where we were and Gibbs told them that we were marooned. Gibbs had the ship so they went looking for us. They figured we were on the island that I was marooned on before and they were right.' Jupiter frowned and pointed out to sea. 'You were marooned on the island? The island we were marooned on?' The wind blew through Jupiters hair and some sea water sprinkled in her face. 'How did you get off.' Jack stood up and walked over to Gibbs, he took the rum out of his hand and sat back down. He pointed to his rum. 'I barted a pass with the Rum runners. They used that island as a cache.' Jupiter nodded and looked at Gibbs who was smiling at the two of them. Jupiter smiled and patted Jacks shoulder. 'Thanks Jack, I appreciate it.' She got up and proceeded into the cabin. She flashed Gibbs a small smile as she passed.

Jupiter got in the cabin and sat down. She put her hands in her lap and looked around. It was quiet, she didnt much like quiet. She thought of the answers Jack gave her a couple weeks ago. 'They were reasonable answers.' She thought about that Barbossa man, the way he looked at Jack. 'Some of it didnt make sense though.' She layed down on the bed and shut her eyes. 'Why was there blood...? Well of course there was blood but Jack made it clear that there was a fair amount of it....why?' She put her hands behind her head and thought long and hard. She didnt know why she was making a big deal about this, Jack seemed fine about this. He didnt seem affected by it. 'I would have been scared for life. Maybe Jack was.' She sat up and looked around, looked at Jacks things. 'Maybe I should ask him about it.' She shook her head and mentally slapped herself. 'Jack isnt like that! Pirates dont talk about their feelings!' Jupiter layed back down again and closed her eyes. Dreams of Barbossa flooded through her head. They were more like nightmares. She saw a man, he had a hood through. He was being murdered by Barbossa. I knife went through the mans stomach and he fell to the floor. He curled up in a little ball and he went pale. Barbossa laughed and pulled his hood off. It was Jack, She has just witnessed Jack being killed.
