Alright kiddies! Here is chapter two! I would like to take this time to congratulate Johnny Depp for winning Best Male Performances at the MTV Movie Awards!!!!!! Good for him! I was a very happy child to see that. I think they robbed him though when they didn't give him the comedy award. He so should have won that. Ok well enough with my blabbing. On with the story!
The next morning you woke up to find that Jack wasn't in the cabin. You sat up and stretched and stood up. You pulled on your boots and walked outside. It was a cloudy day in Tortuga. The sun was high in the sky and just barley visible through the thick overcast. You sighed and walked down to the galley where Jack would surely be. Jack was sitting atone of the chairs eating an apple when you entered the room. He looked up when he heard your footsteps and smiled.
" Mornin luv." he said as you sat down next to him.
" Good morning Jack." you replied as you grabbed an apple. " So what is on the schedule for today?" you asked. Jack scratched his beard in deep thought and took another bite from his apple.
" I am goin into town for a couple hours to get some things taken care of and then we will set off for St. Vincent savvy?" he asked. You nodded.
" Jack I am gonna visit one o' me good mates while your in town. I will be gone for a couple hours me self." you said finishing off your apple.
" Alright luv, just make sure your back at the docks by, oh say six o'clock." he replied. You grinned and walked out of the galley and off to your dear friend Michael's bar. You walked along the road with extreme caution. The conversation you had overheard last night was still deep in your mind. ' I wonder what anyone would want to take from Jack.' you thought as you walked along. You were so deep in thought you got to the bar in no time. You walked in and grinned as you saw Michael slaving away behind the bar as usual. You walked up to the bar and sat down.
" G'day to ye luv!" he said as he took and order. You smiled again.
" Ye always look so busy Michael!" you said as you took in the scene. You chuckled and served three more drinks.
" Well I wouldn't be nearly as busy if I had some help. You know the boss is always passed out in the back!" he shouted. The bar was much louder than usual. You grinned and looked over the counter.
" Is that your way of askin me te help you again?" you asked smoothly. Michael gave you a look that said 'PLEASE' as he served yet another drink. You chuckled and hopped over the bar and took some orders.
" Thank ye!" he yelled. You nodded your head in reply and went back to serving drinks.
" Ye know Michael, I have te leave in two hours!" you shouted. Michael nodded and cleaned up the drink of customer spilled as he passed out at the bar.
" Where ye headed to?" he asked.
" Jack says we are headed to St. Vincent." you replied. You studied Michael for a moment. He would make a fine sailor no doubt. Joe was in desperate need of a first mate. He and Michael were good friends so he would be perfect. You played with this thought for several minutes as you served drinks.
" St. Vincent huh? That's not to far from here isn't it?" he asked. You shook your head.
" No, not far at all." you replied. It was now about 5:45. You took a few quick glances at the clock before you slammed an empty mug down on the counter. " Come with us." you said bluntly. Michael looked at you with wide eyes.
" You mean go with you and the rest of your fleet?" he asked in shock.
" Sure, you know Joe needs a first mate. I'm sure you could fill the spot splendidly!" you said as you grabbed your stuff. Michael looked around the bar trying to make up his mind. He finally grinned and took off his apron and turned to face you once again.
" Alright, I'll do it!" he shouted. You smiled widely.
" Come on then mate! We have to get to the docks now!" you shouted as you dragged him out of the bar. It was sprinkling out side now.
" I need to run to my house and get a few things. I will meet you at the docks at exactly six o'clock!" he yelled as he ran off to his house. You nodded and ran down to the docks.
" Joe!" you shouted as you boarded the Ocean Star. Joe ran out of his cabin afraid something was wrong.
" What??!!! What is it?!" he asked. Seeing your huge smile he relaxed.
" Joe, I have found ye a first mate!" you shouted. Joe let a grin cross his face as he looked at you.
" Who is it?" he asked. He was very curious as to what you would say.
" Well you remember Michael don't you?" you asked.
" Of course I do. He is one of me best friends." he answered. Your smile widened even more if it was possible.
" Well he will be your new first mate if you let him." you said. Joe grinned like a child at Christmas. No sooner had you told him the good news you saw Michael running down to the docks. He ran onto the ship to be greeted by an enormous hug from Joe. As if on cue Jack came waltzing up to see what all the commotion was. He walked up to you with a puzzled expression on his face.
" Jack, Michael will be Joining the fleet. He is to be Joe's first mate." you informed. Jack's eyes lit up as he heard the good news. He smiled as he shook hands with your newest addition.
" Welcome to the crew!" said Jack. Michael grinned himself as he set his bag down. " Well mates," said Jack. " I say we set sail now!" he shouted. You all nodded.
" Michael I will show you to your room once we are out in open water." said Joe. Michael nodded and set off to follow Joe as he showed him to his duties. You and Jack walked off the ship and headed off towards your own.
" So whose idea was that?" asked Jack as you walked.
" Mine. I think it will do him some good." you replied. Jack nodded and gave you a nice peck on the cheek and continued on as you walked onto your ship. 'This was going to be fun' you thought to yourself. You walked proudly to the helm and began barking orders to the crew. Soon the ship was moving out of the harbor. The rain was a very slight drizzle as the fleet sailed out. The winds were calm with just the right breeze. You smiled as you stood at the helm. Setting out for a new destination was one of your most favorite parts of sailing. The light breeze passed through the ship and into the sails with much ease.
" Looks like smooth sailin Capn." said Beaker as he came to stand beside you. You smiled once again and nodded.
" Aye Beaker, that it does." you replied. " Beaker take the helm. I am going to have a look at the ship and make sure that everything is in order." you said. Beaker nodded and took over while you walked about making your routine checkup. It is always nice to be blessed with a crew that knows what there doing. Everything was in good as new condition. You smiled as you walked to the bow of the ship. You leaned over the side and watched as the bow cut through the water with no effort at all. The sea spray bounce off the hull of the ship and onto your face. Yes today was an excellent day to be at sea.
" Enjoyin the view Capn?" asked your dear friend James. You stood up straight and turned to face him.
" Aye, I am." you replied. James nodded and looked over the front of the ship himself.
" I can see why ye come up here so much now Capn." he said as he turned to go back to work. You shook your head and walked back to the helm.
" I'll take over from here Beaker." you said. Beaker nodded and went back to his regular chores as you took the helm. Indeed it was smooth sailing from here.
