Enjoy
Jack looked down at his maps and found that they were not far from the port. It would only take them about a day's journey, which seemed amazing as he could have sworn they were farther away then that. Getting bored with the maps, he picked up his violin and began to play a few notes. He took his bow and glided it along the pleasant-sounding strings. He moved his head with every changing note and soon found himself doing a sort of dance as he played. He continued to play and found that there was a missing part.
"Stephen, my dear, you missed your entrance, would you like for me start over." He glanced over at the cello and realized at what he had just said. With a short pause, he looked down and dropped the violin down to his side as he backed away towards the table. He sighed and laid the instrument down.
"Jack Aubrey, you must be losing your mind," he muttered to himself. "Stephen isn't here." He sighed and studied the cello from where he was standing. He took a few steps and walked towards the door, only pausing for his hat. He looked back one last time and walked out the door muttering to himself, "I never thought this would be so hard."
Julian stood on the deck and looked out into the sea. It was so calm and beautiful and yet it held so many secrets. He sighed and heard his stomach growl as he had skipped breakfast so he could spend some time alone to think about his dream and that man.
"Who was that man?" he muttered to himself, "He seemed so familiar. He called me doctor; maybe I was, or rather, am one. Maybe it was just a dream. No it couldn't have been, it seemed too real, like a memory."
He ran his hand through his coarse hair with confusion and looked over his shoulder, as he had heard footsteps, to see Anthony walking towards him.
"Why my dear Julian, you didn't come to breakfast, did you not feel good or something?" he asked with a concerned look upon his face.
Julian looked back out into the ocean and replied, "No, I just needed to think."
"About what?"
"A dream I had last night. It was rather confusing."
"Really, what was it about?" Anthony was now standing besides Julian and was looking at him.
Julian sighed and turned to Anthony and said, "It was about a man and me. The man looked strangely familiar, he had blond hair, fair skin, and from the looks of what he wore, a captain in the Royal Navy. He called me doctor."
"Do you think that he could be connected to you somehow? Do you know why he called you doctor?"
Julian gave a small smile and looked at the captain and said, "Well, I believe the man called me doctor because I am one, maybe and I truly think he was someone rather close to me." Julian paused and sighed, "I wish I just knew and this wasn't so confusing."
Anthony smiled. "Cheer up, you'll remember soon enough."
"You think so?"
"Of course I do," the captain put a reassuring hand on the other man's shoulder and continued, "Besides, today is a happy day."
"Oh, really?" Julian asked with an inquisitive look.
"Yes, really. We're going to reach port in just a few hours!" He smiled, until he heard a ghastly rumbling. The crew stopped from what they were doing and looked around, as though expecting an explosion. "What was that?!" he asked with a terrified look.
"My stomach," Julian replied coolly, as though nothing happened.
The captain's face became even more terrified and he said, "You should come with me. I know we have leftovers somewhere, and if not, I can get Bill to cook something for you."
The captain led the man hastily to his cabin and shut the door. The crew on the deck still looked around, still confused and dazed, until the captain opened the door again and yelled, "Back to work men!"
