Don't shoot! –Ducks- I'm soooooooooooo sorry, and if I tell you why it took me so long you probably won't believe me but I'll tell you anyway-- my computer crashed and went crazy and I couldn't get on the internet….-sobs-
Juno twitched his tail impatiently as Jack strolled away.
It's gonna take him forever to find a stupid sail! He doesn't need one! Damn, for a pirate that's sailed the seas for years, he's pretty dumb to think the sail's ripped!
Finally the feline slipped off the deck and followed Jack.
I don't wanna do this…it makes me sound so undignified!
"Yowrrr!" Juno screeched.
Jack turned in surprise. "I knew ya loved me, mate."
He petted the cat gently and continued to walk. Juno squinted in frustration. He leapt onto his paws and attacked Jack's leg.
"OW! Oh, me leg!"
Juno hissed lightly.
"What do you want!" Jack roared.
Juno flicked his tail proudly.
At least I got his attention.
Juno weaved around Jack's feet, purring. Then, knowing Jack would follow, took off at top speed.
"Er…wait!" Jack ran after him.
At the ship, Juno looked up. Jack followed his gaze.
"It's magic! The sail's repaired!" Jack cried.
It was never broken in the first place, dimwit.
"You are officially my lucky cat, Juno!" Jack hugged the cat.
WHOA1 No hugs! No hugs!
Elizabeth entered the shop and saw Will working.
"That black cat came by and brought Jack with him," Will muttered.
"You mean Silky Paw? Oh, I wish I was here then! Why'd Jack come?"
"Who knows. Came and left like the wind. Weird fellow, I tell you. I don't even know what he's doing here. Wouldn't the navy be after him or something?" Will said.
"I suppose. Well, what did that cat do?"
Will paused. Knowing Elizabeth didn't like him really drinking any rum, he shrugged. "Played with some strings and rolled around."
"How CUTE! I wish I saw it!"
"Um…yes."
Juno was uneasy with the wind blowing and the ship rocking. He weaved around Jack's legs disdainfully.
Make it stop! Mercy, make it stop!
"Aww, lil' buddy don't like the ship an' all." Jack said sadly.
"Jack," Ana Maria snapped. "You're talking to a cat. Where'd you get 'im, anyway?"
"Found 'im in town."
Ana Maria frowned at Juno. Juno squinted back.
"Got a lot of courage," she commented.
Thank you.
"So where we goin'?" she turned back to Jack.
"Dunno. Where the ocean takes us."
Joy. I guess I hopped on this ship for nothing. JACK YOU IDIOT DON'T GO ANYWHERE JUST 'CAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT!
Juno suddenly hopped onto Jack and climbed up to his shoulders.
"Ow! Hey!" Jack snapped.
Turn this ship around! I wanna go home!
"You're not gonna steer this thing back home, Juno! My ship! Listen here, you! MY SHIP!"
All the pirates looked up and thought THEY were crazy.
I owe this bit to Mistress of Tales. Sometimes I'm not thinking when I write.
