Chapter 12: Why is the Rum Gone?

I stood outside the door and waited for the infamous Jack Sparrow to emerge wearing my lovely dress. After waiting for what seemed like forever, growing impatient, I knocked on the door. There was no answer. I knocked again and still no answer came from the room. I opened the door a crack and peeked in. I saw Jack standing over the dress; he began to talk to it. "Ye would like that wouldn't ye? Ye bloody dress." He said to it, "Ye would like me to put ye on and walk around me ship and have me crew laugh at me, wouldn't ye?" Jack was giving the dress an evil stare. "I would like so much to just watch ye burn. What's that? Ye don't want to be burned? Well I don't want to wear ye!" Jack was starting to sound really crazy. Then I noticed something in his hand, it was a candle. Jack started to laugh really loud. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOUR EVIL REIGN IS OVER YE BLOODY DRESS!" He dropped the candle and I burst through the door. Jack had a really evil grin on his face. As the dress ignited I stomped the flame out. Jack's evil grin was replaced with a frown.

"Ok Jack, if you put that dress on like we agreed, I'll get you some rum."

"I love rum... but I'm not sure I love it that much..."

"Really?" I said shocked.

"NO! I have no idea what I'm talking about, go get the rum!" I wasn't sure if I could trust Jack to actually put it on, but I decided to give him a chance... again. I went to the kitchen and grabbed two bottles of rum. As I made my way back to the room I saw something curled up in a ball in a dark corner. As I got closer I could make out Jacks hat.

"Jack is that you?" I said approaching the figure.

"Don't look at me!" He exclaimed. As I got closer he pushed himself further into the corner. I grabbed his arm and started pulling him out of the corner.

"Come on Jack, you've brought this on yourself."

"You can't make me!" He said fighting to stay in the corner. "I'm the captain of the ship!"

"Yes, but we had an agreement!" Finally after a few minutes of me pulling him away, losing my grip, him going back into the corner, and me retrieving him, he stood up and walked away from the corner. "Awww... you look pretty." I said sweetly.

"After this... horrible day... can I get rid of ye dress."

"Sure Jack, I don't like it anyways." Almost out of nowhere Will was standing next to me. I looked to my right and saw him, which made me jump a little. "Jeez Will, you can't sneak up on people like that!"

"Sorry, I didn't realize I was sneaking." Soon his attention turned to Jack. A big smile grew across his face. "You look very nice Jack." He said trying to keep a strait face.

"Where's me rum luv?" I handed him a bottle of rum and he pretty much inhaled the whole thing. "I never want to be sober again."

"You do that Jack, you're not that much fun when your not drunk." He walked away from Will and me with his lovely dress flowing in the breeze. Not even five minutes later he came back running. I was telling Will how I had met Jack; I took a pause from the story to take a sip of my rum. I was in mid sip when my rum was snatched from me. As I recovered from the shock of have it ripped from my mouth I saw Jack running away wildly with my dress following behind him. I started off in a dead run. "GIVE THAT BACK YOU CRAZY PIRATE!" I shouted at him. I chased him around the entire deck with the whole crew watching Jack run in his pretty little dress. Finally he slowed to a stop. We were both breathing heavily. He held up his index finger to tell me to wait a minute.

"Hold on a minute luv." We stood there bent over with our hands on our knee's breathing heavily for a few moments. Then with no warning Jack ran away as fast as he could. I stood there watching him run for a minute. My dress didn't really 'fit' him. I'm a much smaller person. He still had his pirate boots on; I could see them when he ran. The dress itself was a pinkish flowery thing I was forced to wear. After I laughed at this I began to chase him. He was moving much slower than me so I caught up to him. I tackled him knocking him to the floor. He rolled over on his back and I jumped on him to keep him down. I grabbed at the rum laying across him and he turned over so that he was on top of me. We just kept rolling over each other on the floor, me grabbing at the rum and him trying to keep it away from me. Finally we hit a wall and stopped rolling. By this time we were laughing so hard we couldn't breath. I was stuck with him sitting on my stomach. Everything went quiet. I looked around and the crew had gone back to their duties. So the only people who were left were me, and Jack. As our laughter died down I noticed a pair of eyes, it felt like they were drilling holes through my head. I looked up and saw a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring intently and me. Jack slowly started to lean closer to me. I felt paralyzed. Soon I could feel Jack kissing me, and to my amazement, I was kissing him back. It was like drinking a bottle of rum. I couldn't stop drinking until I had every last drop. Jack moved to my neck slowly moving closer to my mouth as I thought about everything bad that could happen if I let this go further. When he reached my mouth I closed my eyes and turned my head away. Sorry Jack, this hurts me too. I thought to myself.

"Sorry." Jack whispered.

I opened my mouth but no words came out. He lifted the rum to his lips and drank it... all of it.

"NOOOOO! THAT'S THE LAST BOTTLE!" I screamed just to break the silence and bring things back to normal. His eyes got wide.

"What was that luv?" He asked me acting like he didn't hear what I said. It seemed that, that being our last bottle wasn't the first thing on his mind as it wasn't mine.

"I said, THAT WAS THE LAST BOTTLE."

"Oh ok." The when his brain actually registered what I said his eyes got wide again. "Did you say that was our last bottle?"

"YES!" I screamed at him. "And could you please get off me."

He got off me and grabbed my hand to help me up. "Well I think I needed this bottle more than you right now!"

"What makes you think that?" He gave me this look that sent a chill down my spine. It looked as if I had hurt Jacks feelings… maybe that kiss was a little more to him than just lust. I pushed this thought far back into my head to dig out later. I did not want to deal with this at the moment. And it seemed that Jack thought the same.

"Ah, Mr. Gibbs when will we be reaching Port Royal?"

"In a few days." Gibbs replied.

"What? Is there anywhere we can restock the rum?"

"Sorry Jack... there's nothing between here and Port Royal." I soon joined Jack's panic.

"The rum is gone?" I asked scared of what the answer would be.

"Yes luv, the rum is gone..." Jack replied sadly.

"Why is the rum gone?" I asked.

"Cause the world is cruel."

"Wait I remember, YOU drank it all!"

"Ye didn't tell me that it was the last bottle!" Jack argued.

"Ok, just calm down, we just need to calm down... We can do this Jack, we'll get through this together." We parted in search of rum. I went into my room and lifted the floorboard, there was no rum, I looked in the dresser, still no rum. I went to the kitchen where I saw Jack looking frantically for some more rum. "Jack?" He turned around and looked at me.

"I can't find any rum!" Jack said panicky.

"I know; I can't either." I found a corner in the room and sat in it. I hugged my knees and rocked my self back and forth. Soon after Jack joined me sitting next to me the same way I was sitting. We huddled together comforting each other. "So, how many bottles did you drink today?" I asked Jack.

"Eight, what about you?"

"Half a sip." Soon we had dark rings under our eyes, and I could have sworn Jacks teeth got all pointy. We heard footsteps and huddled together in our 'dark' corner. Will walked in the room.

"Are guys ok?" He asked sounding concerned.

"My precious, they took my precious." I said with a creepy tone in my voice. Hisss Will gave me a funny look and slowly backed up out of the room.

"I'm going to pretend that never happened." I heard Will say from outside the room. So there Jack and I remained, him in a dress, and me in my pirate clothes, huddling together under these harsh conditions we were forced to endure.
