"Tara! Tara, wake up!"
Tara slowly opened her eyes. Above, the sun shone brightly in the blue, clear sky. She was lying on deck. Ben was sitting beside her.
"Were you watching me sleep?" she asked, not feeling awkward at all.
"Yes," he shrugged.
"It's such a shame you're gay," she sighed. "You'd make some girl a lovely romantic husband."
He laughed. "We're here."
"Where?" she asked, noticing for the first time the ship wasn't moving.
"Tortuga," he said.
She sat up quickly, provoking the pain in her chest to start again. It didn't bother her, though, because her hazel eyes were fixed on another ship docked a hundred feet or so away from Ben's.
"Oh my God, is that-?" she gasped.
"The Black Pearl, yes," Ben smiled.
Tara felt muddled. Everything she felt for Jack Sparrow seemed to be going around in circles in her mind. She rested her head on Ben's chest, and closed her eyes. He held her tightly. Neither of them bothered to talk. They both knew that there was an unspoken bond between them.
"Are you going to see him?" Ben asked.
She nodded. "I think I have to."
He smiled sadly. "Love is so confusing."
"Have you ever been kissed by a woman?" Tara asked slowly.
He shook his head. She responded by slowly reaching up and pulling his face down to her's, and kissing him. He sat still in her arms for a few minutes, then ran to the side to vomit.
"I'm so sorry," he called weakly to her, "but I know for certain now that I'm gay!"
She laughed. She stood up. "Thank you so much for everything."
"Don't forget me, Tara," he said, walking over and hugging her tightly.
"Never," she promised. "Friends forever, right?"
"Right."
