Alaina, with the help of Ana Maria and Gibbs got the boat into the water
and began to make her way down.
It'd been only three days after she and Jack had been rescued from the island and Carrick had told them the hideaway for Captain Partuse which they were now at, Jack however was relentless about letting her go in after Will, as was Carrick and her brothers, they all told her she was too girly in the sense of fighting and such.
Jill was the only one who sympathized with her on the matter and had actually suggested it. Alaina hadn't come all this way just to stand and watch as everyone helped but her. Even when they brought up that she was left handed and it was almost unusable.
"Wait," Ana Maria said stopping her by grabbing her arm. Alaina looked at her confused. "What do we tell Jack?"
Alaina grinned a cocky grin. "Tell him I'm going to prove just how girlie I really am,"
"Aye," Gibbs agreed thinking that she was absolutely insane but it was good enough reason for him.
"Your crazy!" Ana Maria exclaimed as Alaina made her way down.
"Yep," Alaina agreed sitting down in the small boat and starting to row away from the Pearl and towards the entrance to the cove.
"Think she'll make it out alive?" Ana Maria asked watching her with a sigh.
"If there's one thing I've learned about Alaina," Gibbs began scratching his head. "Its to not underestimate her."
"'Ey Gibbs!" Jack said coming out of his cabin yawning. "Where's Alaina?"
Gibbs and Ana Maria shared a look and Gibbs went over to his captain. "She went to prove just how girlie she really was," He told him honestly.
"Well what the bloody hell does that mean?" Jack asked rubbing his head as he was still dazed by his slight hangover.
Gibbs shrugged and walked off to help Carrick on the other end of the deck who didn't see what had went on.
Jack stood there on deck for a few moments pondering on what he meant. Than it hit him. She'd gone after Will.
Trying to figure it all out he ran over to where he knew there had been a boat and looked down. It wasn't in the water anywhere. It hit him then that Alaina had somehow gotten it. But she couldn't have done it alone.
He turned and looked around, eyeing his crew. Carrick was still here so therefore he didn't help or even notice that she'd done it. Than Ana Maria caught his eye and he strolled up to her.
"Are you insane woman?" He asked and she looked at him.
"No, that's you." She replied turning to walk away but Jack grabbed her arm.
"She doesn't even know how to use a cutlass for Christ's sake!"
Ana Maria whirled around and slapped his face as hard as she could. "Now that I have your attention I'd like to say a few things," She said coldly as he stood there dazed.
"First off," She began yanking her arm from his wrist. "You may be captain but I still have my rights, second, Alaina may not be the smartest person when it comes to fighting but she can sure as hell put up a fight. And thirdly, she might be daft, but you have half her brain."
"Now wait a minute," Jack began but stopped. She was right; she was right on them all. "Damn it!" He cried throwing his hands up in frustration at the smug grin on Ana Maria's face.
"Carrick," He said motioning for the boy. "Yes, Captain Sparrow?" Carrick asked wiping his hands on his breeches and coming up to him.
"We're going ashore,"

"Gibbs!" Jill yelled behind her shoulder as she squinted trying to see the ship that was coming towards them.
Gibbs came up behind her and in one look turned to the crew. "Men we have company!"
Jack and James looked at one another confused as immediately everyone dropped what they were doing and followed the orders Ana Maria was barking out.
"Come on boys," Jill said going over to them and motioning for them to go under the deck.
"Why?" Jack asked as Jill began to push them along.
"Because Alaina'll kill me if anything happens to you that's why," Jill told them shoving them down the hatch.
"You might as well lock them up in the brig, those two are just like Alaina," Ana Maria told her tossing her some keys.
Jill nodded and followed the boys down.
"What do you think your doing!" Jack asked as she quickly shoved them into a cell and locked the padlock.
"Keeping you two out of trouble," Jill told them hurrying back up the stairs.
"Jill!" James yelled stomping his foot in anger. "Jill you get your ass back down here and unlock the door now!"
Jack stood back and stared at his brother, it was unbelievable at the commanding tone his brother had held. "What?" James asked turning to him. "Maybe you'd make a good captain after all," Jack said with a grin.
