The next day, the Pearl set sail for Tortuga, to give the men a short break before their next raid.
"Ah, the never-ending pillaging of piracy! What a life!" Elsa said, sitting on her bed.
"I think it's brilliant," Danielle stated, unpacking her trunk.
Danielle was sharing Elsa's room for her stay, even though Jack had offered her the spare cabin in the back of the ship. She insisted on rooming with her and pestering her about her new "lover", as she liked to put it. Her 'midnight talks' were especially unhelpful.
"Will!" Elsa screamed after another night of Danielle's badgering. "May I shoot you?" She pulled her pistol from her belt. "Please?"
"Aw, Jacky," Danielle said cutely. "You couldn't kill me!"
"Arrgh," Elsa said, putting it back in her belt. "I know. But please! Let it go, man! Jack can't, can't, can't know about this guy, alright?" Danielle nodded. "Plus, it was a one time thing. I'll probably never see him again."
"Oh my God! What if you saw him in Tortuga?" Danielle asked happily. "Wouldn't that be awesome! You have to point him out to me!"
"Hello!" Elsa said, knocking on Danielle's thick head. "Do you really think that's even possible?"
"Well, it's Tortuga, you know. Pirate haven of the Caribbean," she explained, rubbing her head.
"Good point," Elsa reflected. "God I hope he's not there." She kicked her desk.
"Why not?" Danielle asked, confused. "Don't you want to see him again?"
"Yes, I-Wait! No! Do you know how awful that would be?! Plus I don't even have any feelings for that guy."
"Well that was the lie of the century. Why wouldn't you want to see him again? I don't get you sometimes."
"Captain Andrews killed Jack's dad, Will! If he was in port the same time we were, it would be Hell-for all of us!"
"Okay, fine, fine," Danielle gave in, sitting on the bed beside her. "But if we do see him, you have to point him out to me. Don't worry; we'll make sure we don't get caught." She smiled, and Elsa punched her.
"I hate you," she said simply. "Do you have to make me feel like I want to see him again?"
"I know you hate me. And I hate you. We hate each other so much that we absolutely adore each other."
"You know I despise that philosophy," Elsa groaned.
"But it's true!" Danielle defended.
"Sure. Whatever you say, Will my boy!"
Danielle slapped her.
"Ow! Not sure I deserved that!"
"Never call me that again, you bloody pirate!"
Danielle got up and left the cabin.
"Will! I'm sorry!" Elsa said, following her out onto deck. "But it's so cute!"
"Tortuga ahoy, Capn'!" Gibbs told her, a hand on his telescope.
Cheers erupted from the deck. Pirates-especially this crew-loved Tortuga. If Jack hadn't been so eager to go himself, there would have been a mutiny on his hands!
