Sorry it took me so long to update. Frankly, I was feeling very un-motivated. Also, this is a rather short chapter. Don't hurt me!
Thanks to my one (lol) reader, HappyBunny1. Enjoy. =)

Jack Sparrow would never lose his cool. "You. Threw. My. Rum. Overboard?" Jack asked, confronting Watson in his cabin.
Watson stood his ground. "Rum drunk heavily - as you enjoy consuming it, is not healthy for a person."
"Healthy? You old sod! Do you really think I care if it's healthy? I'm a pirate, mate. We drink rum! It's our livelihood!" Jack cried angrily.
Elizabeth walked in, hearing the racket, and gave Watson a pitying look. Will then walked in, sensing he was missing out on something.
"You and Miss Swan should get together! She enjoys burning rum. You enjoy tossing it in water...heck, at least when it's burnt, you can still smell it!" Jack continued.
Will looked worried. "Calm down, Jack. It's only a bit of rum."
Jack still looked agitated, but spoke normally. "I can only go so long wi' out a bit of rum, mate. It ain't right for a pirate. It makes one lose his head."
"In exchange for the rum I disposed of and my ride, I'd be pleased to offer my services as a teacher." Watson said.
Jack turned to him, wild-eyed. "Keep out of this, man! You've caused enough trouble without condemning my speech! I'll have no more of this! You're to stay in this cabin until I see fit!" He turned to Elizabeth. "Miss Swan, be a dear and stand guard over our insolent passenger. Thank you." Grabbing Will by the sleeve, he stocked out, slamming the door behind him.
As Jack took his place at the wheel, Elizabeth slipped out to visit Will. "Will," she whispered, "I think we should get him some more rum as soon as possible."
