"IT WON'T KILL US, LOVE!!! LAND'S JUST OVER THERE!" Jack shouted back.
A loud splash. They had landed in the water.
"Phwa!!!!" Fara exclaimed coughing up sea water. The water was heavily stirred up.
"That was fun, wannit?!?!" Jack shouted gleefully.
"I'll tell ya when I stop drowning!" she growled trying to keep her head above water.
"Pathetic. Dunno how women cope." Jack groaned lifting Fara's arms around his neck and swimming to the small island he had been marooned on twice in the past.
"Excuse me? I saved your life." Jack replied indignantly dropping her to the ground.
"I could've done that by myself!!! ALL by myself!!!" she screamed. "Also, Women cope far better than men! When was the last time you saw a man give birth?!?"
"What is your obsession with being right? You never used to be like that..." Jack replied sadly.
"People change Jack. I've changed, YOU'VE changed." she said quietly and tearfully.
"Don't worry love. There's enough time to know each other again." he smiled.
"What do you mean?" she gave him a suspicious look.
"Well, Now your ship is captainless, they'll get someone new and... they won't have ye back." he sniggered.
"My crew swore loyalty to me." she growled in defence of her crew.
"Aye, So did mine, untill that Barbossa had sommit to say about it." Jack snarled angrily at the word Barbossa.
"Aye? I thought you said some Anna-Maria kicked you off?" she sneered.
"Yes..... And no. See, I was cap'n of the Black Pearl. Once, Then Barbossa commit mutinee. Later I got my ship back but as I said earlier, I got drunk too often." Jack explained shrugging his shoulders a few times.
"Ah. I suppose that explains some." she lay back in the silvery soft sand. "I don't see how we're going to survive here though. Sea Water would get too plain soon enough."
"You'd think that wouldn't you?" he smiled mischieviously. He was talking outstretched strides across the sandy beach.
"Jack...?" Fara started.
"Yes, love?" Jack replied starting to bounce up and down in some shadows.
"What are you doing?" she eyed him suspiciously as he lifted up something from the sand.
Jack ignored her and muttered something "Aha, So she didn't burn it all! Yes!"
"Jack?" Fara was confused.
"Come over here!" he called. She wearily got up and walked over to him.
"Rum?!" she exclaimed gleefully. She looked down into the store. "My dear Jack, How did you find this... This Marvel?!"
"I have my ways." he smiled. Fara held her hands to her chest and smiled. But shortly the smile faded.
She froze.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
"My pendant..." her voice cracked.
"Well.... It must have come undone when we were swimming to shore." he replied "I don't think much can be done."
"I NEED THAT PENDANT, JACK!!!!" she screamed with tears splashing.
"Allright! Allright!!" Jack growled. He ran back to the water and dived in.
Across the dreadfull waves Jack noticed an out of place sparkle.
'Ah, Her pendant. I can almost reach it!!!' he thought as he gained speed.
A wave lashed the pendant further away.
"Aye, You would!!!" he shouted at it. He swam a little further and managed to grab the pendant. He turned around clutching the pendant tightly and swam back to shore.
"Thar be your precious pendant!!!" he spluttered.
Fara carefully picked up the pendant. She inspected it quickly then smiled. "Thank you, Jack. You don't know how much this means to me." she knelt down and put a hand on his soaked head.
"Next time you ever need a favour, Forget it." he groaned with a faint smile.
"Thank you... You wouldn't believe the importance of this pendant..." she smiled, "To me! Very important to me." she added quickly.
"Are you keeping a secret? You never used ter." Jack said lying back into the sand taking in the sun.
"What makes you think that?" she asked getting up and walking toward the rum cache.
"Nothin'. Forget I said anythin'." he replied gruffly.
"Allright. Rum?" she asked holding up two bottles of rum.
"Heh! You're still my Fara!" he smiled.
"Yep. An' you're still my Birdie!" Fara smiled back.
"I think we'll have to come up with some kinda agreement on the name." he sighed as she sat down beside him.
