Sorry some of Juno's thoughts weren't italicized or however you spell it. I'll make sure this time.

OMG I forgot disclaimer! Well, here it is now: I don't own anyone but Juno.

I'd also like to thank Charlotte Norrington for her lovely ideas about Jack going crazy over Juno.


"He's lost it this time," Mr. Gibbs sighed as Jack ran over to save Juno.

"That's me cat!" Jack screamed, running after Norrington.

"I don't suppose he's thinking clearly, because it's just as if he was walking off a cliff," Ana Maria replied.

"We knew, you'd come after your dear puss," Norrington said. "Get him, men!"

Soldiers around Jack pointed their rifles at him. Jack looked angrily at Juno, who stared back.

"Get cannons or something! We've got to save Jack! Oh, and um…Juno." Ana Maria cried.

"Rrrrrr."

"What was that?" Norrington looked down at Juno. "Why, he's purring! Here that?"

"Rrrrrrrrrrrr!"

"Oh, how cute. He's purring louder for all to hear him!" Norrington laughed.

"HISSSSSSSSSS!" Juno slipped out of Norrington's grasp and began tearing him up.

"That's my boy, Juno!" Jack cried.

Soldiers looked in confusion, not knowing what to do. At that moment Jack grabbed Juno, whispering, "You've destroyed enough people today, mate," and jumped into the water.

Whoa! Hey! I don't like to get wet. I might let this one slip, though, because you're going to get your ass whipped if you don't.

"Here comes Jack! Help him aboard!" the crew cried.

Once safe on the deck Jack wrapped his arms around Juno.

"He's my best friend!" Jack sobbed.

The wet cat sneezed.


"What's going on here?" Elizabeth came down to see Norrington in his uniform all scratched up. "We heard people shouting about a furry black thing attacking you."

Norrington straightened up. "Nothing! Well, Jack was here…erm, with a cat…" He didn't want to admit to Elizabeth that a mere cat beat him.

"Silky Paw! You mean Silky Paw, right?" Elizabeth squealed.

"Oh, no," Will groaned.


"Want to go to Tortuga, lil' buddy! You want a girl there, right?" Jack asked.

Cough. No thank you.

"We'll go anyway!" Jack cried happily.

Hmm…there's something Jack should know…well…ow…he'll find out in a few weeks.

The next few days were devoted to going to Tortuga, and Juno was in because he didn't want to go back to Norrington (no matter how well his evading skills were). Once there, water and food were restocked and Jack ran off to get drunk. He noticed Juno didn't get off the ship, but didn't mind.

Three Weeks Later

"Ana Maria! Where's me cat! Did he leave at Tortuga and we left him! Oh, no!" Jack cried.

"Your cat never left the ship, Jack," Ana Maria informed. "Unless we didn't see him."

"No! He hates me after all!" Jack sobbed.

"Oh, grow up, Jack!" Ana Maria snapped.

Jack mumbled and walked into his cabin to think. Suddenly, he heard purring. Real loud purring. He followed the sound to under his bed. Being cautious, he whipped the covers over and peered under.

There lay Juno, with four newborn kittens.


SURPRISE!
