Back again! Yaay! **Ahem* HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT!!!! WE LOVE YOU!! Now everyone
go review and tell Kat 'Happy Birthday'. And how much you love the story.
You know what's really, really great? In the last chapter, or rather, the
one before it, we were bouncing off the walls because we had 36 reviews.
Now we have 53!!! WHEEEE!
In reference to the Italian (which we forgot to include before. Whoops) 'tesora' means 'darling' and 'mi amore' means 'my love'. Also the 'Isola di Casualita' is Italian for 'Island of Randomness.' We got our translations from an online translator, so it's very likely that they're inaccurate. If you happen to know for a fact that they're wrong, and know what the correct term is, please feel free to share your knowledge.
LOTRseer3350: We have the perfect place for your cameo! Yay!
Talon: The 'I love your ovaries' thing is 'us' though. Honestly. Our email is even iloveyourovaries@hotmail.com.
J. Liha: The story of Jade's mum will be explained. Eventually. We know who it is.
Scarlett Red Rose: Ooh, who do you think Jade's mum is? In all honesty, we'd like to know because at the time you left the review, WE didn't know who Jade's mum was going to be. So could you tell us? Please?? You can email us too, if you wish. (iloveyourovaries@hotmail.com)
Bratprincess: I think I read that story... maybe... yes...
Also, hi to: x-mangle, Sabre, szhismine, Braveheart, Kumiko *Kaylin* Eharu, MovieLvR4Lyfe, molly and Kierce. Thanks for reviewing!!
And now, a word from our sponsor. I mean Jack.
"You know for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you're well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga.and you're completely obsessed with treasure."

They had been traveling for nearly five days now. It was late at night. The stars were dulling, and the sky was lightening to a dark grey. Jack had rarely slept and barely ate. He was standing at the helm again, staring off into the distance. Will sighed. He was concerned about his friend. They were all worried about Jade, but Jack blamed himself completely.
Will headed out on deck, followed by Elizabeth. After a long argument, they had finally convinced their son to get some sleep, insisting that he would be of no help if he were falling asleep while standing up.
"Jack, why don't you get some sleep," Elizabeth suggested to the exhausted captain. "Just until dawn, at the very least."
"I can't," he answered. "How'm I s'posed to sleep when god only knows what that bastard is doing to my daughter?"
"Torturing yourself isn't going to help," Will protested.
Jack didn't seem to hear him. He kept staring with unfocused eyes into the distance, twisting the rings on his fingers. "It's nearly morning," he said finally. "I 'spect we'll be arriving tomorrow. You should be ready."
"Where are they?" Will asked, as he and Elizabeth left the deck again in defeat.
"Isola di Casualita," Jack answered almost silently.
"Try to get some sleep, Jack," Elizabeth requested as they left him there alone.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Jade screamed as loud as she could, desperately trying to break free from the pirate's grasp. "You bastard, let go!" Garren was attempting to drag her to the longboat that would take them ashore.
"Now, now Miss Sparrow. None of that. Be reasonable, please," Mara insisted. Jade let out a string of swear words that would have made her father proud. But despite her best effort, they managed to lift her into the boat and take her to shore. As they dragged her along the beach, she looked at Garren deliberately.
"Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Shut up!" Garren yelled.
"Now come on, love. Where's the fun in that?" Jade laughed. "Where's we going anyway?"
"I have a special little place for you. A hideaway of sorts. Right in the middle of the island. Don't worry though. You're father will know where it is," Mara called back.
"Sounds lovely. I'll have to visit. WE PILLAGE WE PLUNDER WE RIFLE WE LOOT, DRINKK UP ME HEARTIES YO-HO!" Irritated, Garren slapped her across the face and knocked her to the sand. Pretending to be more hurt than she was, Jade floundered in the sand, furiously scribbling something out. Mara walked over.
"What did you do?" he demanded.
"She's gettin' on me nerves," Garren answered, hauling her to her feet. "I jus' want her to shut up!"
"It matters not. You do not hit a lady, understood? Hurry up." Mara walked off with the crew, leaving Garren to follow, muttering about Jade not being a lady.
Behind them, scrawled in the sand, were two letters- NO.

"Land ho!" The voice rang out over all of the Black Pearl. Jack Turner raced to the side of the ship to catch a glimpse of the island. It appeared like any other island in the Caribbean, a sandy beach leading inland to a thick forest. But this island was different. Somewhere, deep in the think of the forest, Mara was there, along with his crew and Jade.
"Drop anchor!" Captain Jack Sparrow ordered, rushing about like mad. Off in the distance, another ship was visible. "The Isabella Bello," he identified. "Mara's ship. He'll have left some crew onboard. First trick's to take care of them." The captain ordered the longboats ready and leaped in one, along with Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Anamaria, and Gibbs. The rest of the crew was left onboard.
Silently the boat drifted through the water to the Isabella Bello. Captain Jack and Will prepared to board.
"Stay here," Will ordered. They crept up the side and onto the deck. "What's our plan of action?" he asked. Jack looked at him.
"Plan of action?" he repeated. "The plan of action is to go down there and pummel their arses. Savvy?" Will rolled his eyes as they snuck down into the hull. Only two pirates remained. They had been drinking and were caught up in a game of poker. Jack and Will overtook them easily, tying them up and locking them in one of their own cells.
"Where's my daughter?" Jack demanded.
"Wha' y'mean the li'l wench?" one of them slurred drunkenly. Jack reached through the bars, grabbed him by the neck and smashed his head against the bars, knocking him unconscious. The other one backed against the wall.
"You NEVER speak that way about my daughter again, savvy?" Jack asked with a dangerous smile. He and Will headed back for the boats.
"Was that really necessary?" Will asked.
"Yes," Jack answered solidly.
The boats brushed up onshore, and they all jumped out. The sun was high in the sky, at the beginning of its westward descent. Farther down the shoreline, they found the boats of Mara's crew. Jack Turner took his sword and experimentally slammed it into the bottom of a boat. Multiple times. He then repeated his actions with the other three boats.
"Whoops."
Captain Jack Sparrow grinned at him. "Not bad."
There were signs of an obvious struggle in the sand.
"Well, now we know she's alive," Anamaria announced. They followed the trail up the beach until they came to Jade's message.
"No," Gibbs read aloud. "She makes abou' as much sense as her father. What d'you think she meant?"
Jack stared at the scrawled letters. "She doesn't want me to come." They stood there for a moment longer, and then continued after her, leaving her ignored message behind.
