Well guys, thanks to my pal Sparrow'sGirl, I now know that it is ado not a due. Sorry, it was one of those blonde moments. If any of you see any mistakes in my story, I'd love it if you told me. I hate it when I read stories and there are errors left and right.

Anyways, I know the story may be a little slow going, but just wait, there's more to come. And I can guarantee you'll love it!

Oh, and if you get a chance read pirate-lib's story. Its not posted yet. But im just giving ya heads up. So when she does post it, I will let you know. Also, the story is about how Jack became the chief. She is my best friend in the entire world, so don't flame her once she posts it. Besides, there would be no need since its an awesome story. I did help her ya know. Also, she is being a poophead because she already has the first chapter but she wont post anything until she has a few more written. So poo on her!

Disclaimer: Sadly but surely, I do not own any POTC characters. Although my birthday is coming up, and I would like my own captain....

Chapter 5:

"We set sail at dawn!" Captain Sparrow hollered over the noises of rowdy men.

"Aye, aye Capt'n!" they all replied.

Gemma stood at the bow of the ship watching the crew drink themselves silly, not a care in the world. She stifled a yawn before heading over to find Jack. Knowing the place where the captain always is, she toddled over to the helm where he stood with arrogance.

"Captain, where is it that I am supposed to be sleeping?" she asked meekly.

"Well lass, I believe ye got a few choices. Ye can either stay with me crew, Anamaria, or meself. Im not too sure I'd go with the first choice, but its yer hide."

Gemma stood there momentarily contemplating the best possible sleeping arrangements.

' I think he's right when he says don't sleep with the crew. But then again, its not like they would even want to do anything to me with my current condition. Anamaria seemed nice enough, although I wouldn't want to end up on her bad side and still have to sleep near her. Jack's cabin might be nice, but I wouldn't want to impose. Im sure he's not one to sod off the women, but in my case it is a teensy bit different.'

"I have come to a decision Captain Sparrow, I am to sleep with Anamaria."

Jack looked up at the sky and mouthed a 'thank you' to the gods above. Then he looked back at the young woman standing in front of him. He studied her features carefully and automatically knew something was wrong with her. 'She just don't look right' he thought to himself. Jack mentally scolded himself for thinking such awful things about the girl. For all he knows she could have some curse making her look like that. (A/N: Which we all know she does, but he doesn't. hehehe)

"Very well then, lets get ye settled. Follow me"

Jack started towards Anamaria's private cabin hoping she wouldn't mind a roommate. Knowing that the girl will stay quiet and not bother anybody, he opened the door to the cabin and walked inside. Just a hole in the wall little place. Only a little bigger than a closet, really. But, there was a bed and a blanket, and that was good enough for Gemma. She sat on the bed and bounced a few times making sure it wasn't going to be too uncomfortable and a yawn soon escaped her lips followed by a series of three more.

"My goodness, I guess I was more tired than I thought. Now if you wouldn't mind leaving, I would be grateful, for we both know I need a lot of beauty sleep. And I know you would not want to disrupt the process that will be taking an eternity. So, please... shoo. Shoo. " Gemma stated as she motioned Jack to leave her newfound quarters.

"Sleep tight milady." And with that said, he went back to the helm.
