Summary: Commodore Norrington falls in love with Lady Serenity. But Lady Serenity is actually Silver, Captain Jack Sparrow's partner. In other words, Lady Serenity is no lady, she's a pirate. What will happen when Norrington finds that out?

Chapter 5

The commodore ran back to the governor's house and demanded to see his lordship at this very moment. Minutes later, the governor came downstairs, looking puzzled.

"Governor, I know where Serenity is!"

"Where?" Governor Swann cried increduously.

"After falling from Sun Peak, the Black Pearl captured her and took her hostage, and I have an idea of where they are headed."

"And the idea is?"

"Tortuga!" Norrington said triumphantly.

"So we shall sail for Tortuga?"

"Tomorrow! No, today! Who knows what they've done to her."

"Yes, yes, well, you have my permission to set sail today. Right now."

"Really governor?"

"Yes, I know how deeply in love you are with Serenity, and that you would do anything for her safety and protection. Go."

The commodore was shocked to hear the words exactly going through his head, and could not say a word. He just merely bowed in thanks and left.

"Royal Flush! I win! Again! And again! And again!" Silver announced.

The shipmates groaned. Thy had been playing poker for the last two hours, and Silver had won all of the games, all 62 of them.

"Okay, we won't play poker anymore, savvy?"

The entire crew roared in jubliation.

Jack walked out from his cabin onto the deck. "Luv, what is with you saying my line? 'Savvy' is me word, not yours!"

"Sorry, it's habitual!" Silver said shrugging, as she shuffled the deck.

"Habi-bi-bi what?"

"Habitual, naturally happens out of habit or routine."

"Right...ye playing poker?" Jack nodded his head toward the pile of shillings beside Silver.

"Not anymore, the crew's out of money, but someone put their sock in the pile. Hey, whoever owns this filthy sock, ye can have it back, I don't want it!"

Shuffling the deck once more, Silver said, "Let's play SlapJack!"

Jack covered his cheeks and backed away. "There'll be no slapping me beautiful face, not now or ever!"

She laughed. "It's a card game silly. Two people only, here E, you know how to play." Elizabeth hesitantly accepted half the deck. Turning towards Jack, Silver said, "You put down cards and whoever slaps the jack card gets the entire pile. If you slap your hand down and it's not jack, the other person gets the card. The point of the game is to have all the cards. Oh, and Jack? Your face would be describe something else, not beautiful, try...a disaster." The crew laughed heartily and she turned back towards Elizabeth, put her game-face on, and said, "Let's roll!"

Cards were rapidly thrown down into a pile, and as Jack was watching Silver slapped the deck severely, and he jumped. "Hah! Jack!" she cried victoriously.

They continued to play for 5 more minutes, and after a tug-of-war situation, Silver won.

"Ye still have it E. Too bad ye got your hands all primpy when you were supposed to marry Snorington."

Elizabeth laughed. "I absolutely loved this game. We were so good, we'd play only one game in an hour! And I love the way you say 'Snorington!'"

Silver smiled, folded the cards, stuck them in the air in a fan-like appearance, and yelled, "Who's next?"

After everyone except Jack had attempted to overthrow Silver and had sucessfully failed, she turned towards Jack and asked, "Wanna play?"

"No way, I've seen enough!"

"What, you don't think you can beat me in a game with your own name? Chicken huh? I don't blame ye, I'm the card game queen on the ship!"

Jack fumed. "I can beat ye alright!"

"Prove it!"

Jack looked around like he was Mr. Macho-Man, and sat down on the barrel across from Silver, their table an empty cargo box.

Silver and Jack began to intensely throw down cards, sometimes one-by-one, or five at a time. Jack was so busy trying to concentrate on flipping the card onto the pile he didn't see Silver's hand strike down loudly on the stack of cards.

"Slapped the Jack!" she cried.

Jack gave her a grim look. Seconds later, Silver's hand clapped down again. The game only lasted a minute, and the entire crew already knew the verdict, so they left to get more rum and to entertain themselves in another fashion.

"So Jack, do ye believe me when I say I'm the card game queen of the ship?" Silver said, shuffling the deck as Jack stood up.

"No, I demand a rematch!"

Silver shrugged again. "Okay, your funeral."

Jack just sat down, then jumped up and said, "Hey, that's my line too!"

"Sorry, it's..."

"Habitual?"

"Actually I was going to say it's incessant, but at least my Jackie Bird learned a word."

Jack rolled his eyes, and threw down the first card.

Seconds later Jack had three cards left. "How did we only have one jack in a pile of all that?"

Gathering the cards, Silver responded, "Actually that was 48 cards, and I figured you couldn't distinguish a jack from a queen or king, so I waited until the third jack was laid down."

"What?"

"Hey, you asked!"

Grumbling, Jack threw down his last three cards, and Silver slapped them.

"What do ye think your doing?"

"Your last card was jack. Sorry Jack, I got your last jack. Wow, that's three Jacks too many!" Silver stood up, yawned and stretched, picked the cards up, and put them in the deck holder. She then walked towards the crew.

"What about me?"

"One Jack on this ship is bad enough!"

"What?"

Silver smirked and through the cards in the ocean.

"What do ye think your doing?"

"You just said that!"

"I did?"

"Yes."

"Oh..."

They stood side-by-side in silence, looking up at the moon.

Suddenly, Silver cried, "Pirates!"

Jack just laughed and said, "Yes, we are pirates, savvy?"

"No Jack, I mean a pirate ship! Coming this way!"

"Where? I don't see no pirate ship!"

"Get ye stupid telescope!" she yelled, and pushed Jack to his cabin. Jack ran inside, grabbed the telescope and his sword, and went back outside next to Silver.

Looking into the microscope, he saw a ship in the distance really far away.

"How did you...?"

"They didn't call me Hawk Eye for nothing you know."

"Hawk Eye?"

"Yeah, they called me Hawk Eye on the last ship I was on."

"The last ship ye was on?"

"Stop repeating me! Yeah, the last ship I was on, the Forgotten. But then we were commandeered by some bloody pirate by the name of Stairling, and they blew the damn thing up. I was their entertainment," she shivered in rememberance, "and he finally let me go in Tortuga, said I could make a lot more money there...and that's..."

"When I found ye," Jack finished for her.

"Right." Silver didn't take her eyes off the ship. She then gasped.

"Let me see the telescope!"

"I thought they called ye Hawk Eye?" Jack said, smirking.

"I'll Hawk Eye ye butt to the next executioner if ye don't give me that telescope!" she threatened, and Jack was happy to obliged.

"It's him! It's Stairling! I'd recognize that stupid fag...um, I mean, flag, anywhere!"

Pondering, Jack asked, "Stairling. As in Swordsmaster Stairling? Good swordsman I hear, only 23."

"The one and only. Unfortuanately. My dream is to be the best swordsmaster in the world, and if it means killing Stairling, I'd be happy to accommodate that!"

Swordsmaster Stairling smirked as his rowboat came up close behind the Black Pearl. By using the ship as a decoy distraction, he put the best of the best of the best of the best of his crew in the rowboat, and his plan of action was to steal Silver back. Too bad the best of the best of the best of the best of his entire crew of 500 were only 5 people.

"I'll get you back you little wench. Running away from Tortuga when I told you to get a job and stay 'til I got back!" he muttered.

"Sir, if she's such a wench, why are we stealing her?" asked a crewmate.

"Because she's the best entertatinment I've seen!"

"What kind of entertainment sir?"

"She's a singer, and a dancer. The best, I say! Now onward!"

Silver gazed at the ship, frowning. "Shit, it's a decoy!"

"Hmm?"

"Jack, Stairling's not on his ship! It's a distraction! He's gonna come up behind us!"

"How did ye know that?"

"Captain Swordsmaster Stairling is one of the most predictable men in the Caribbean. Oh, a word of suggestion: he's very vain, and loves to say the word 'best,' so if he garbles on about the best of the best of whatever, encourage that while I kill the men."

"Wait, I want to kill them, why don't ye distract the men!"

"No Jack, how could I distract him if he's after me? You distract him. You're a pirate captain, that's something ye got in common." She quickly said under her breath, "Ye both also don't have a clue what's going on!"

Silver ordered everyone to follow her, that there was going to be a surprise attack, and that we shouldn't take our chances.

"If it's a surprise attack, how do you know?" asked Will smirking.

She sighed. "It's an attempted surprise attack, and do you want to live to see Tortuga tomorrow or not?"

"Listen to the lady, savvy?" Jack said, trying to stick up for Silver, who only glared at him and said, "You too captain, or you're going down first!"

They walked toward the other side of the ship, and sure enough, Silver was right. There was Stairling, in a little rowboat with five other men.

The men climbed over and Stairling said, "We're here to take Silver!"

"We don't have silver!" cried Elizabeth.

"We have copper!" pitched in Will.

"And some gold!" said Mr. Gibbs.

"And my sock...ow!" The socky-crewmember was kicked in the shins.

Jack asked, "Who are ye?" He watched as Silver crept around them, killing off Stairling's men silently one-by-one.

"I am Captain Swordsmaster Stairling, best swordsman in the world, and these five fine men behind me are the best of the best of the best of the best of my entire crew of 500!"

Silver was just about to cut the last crewmember's throat when he cried out, "Silver here sir!"

Silver kicked him overboard, and turned around innocently, sliding her swords back behind her back and into the sheath at her side.

"So Silver, you disobeyed me. I told you specifically that the best of the best of the best of singers and dancers was you, and you was supposed to work in Tortuga until I came back and took you back onto the ship!"

"Sorry!"

"You wearing your tight pants eh? Good, the crew'll be happy, come along now."

Silver winked at Jack then gave him pleading eyes. Jack knew Silver all too well and knew that meant she was going to do something risky, and that she didn't want him interfering. And that she was sorry.

"Why don't we just fool around a little bit for ourselves? Before ye hand me back to your entire crew?" she said, walking closer to Stairling. Moving her hand up and down his chest, she breathed heavily and said, "I've been gone for so long. Time we get acquainted again, right?"

But Stairling didn't answer, because he was too busy trying to look down her shirt. Silver kept stroking his chest, and took a quick look at Jack.

Jack looked completely calm, like he didn't care. But Silver knew inside he was on a rollercoaster. How hard this must be for him!

Suddenly, Stairling forcefully cupped Silver's face in his hands, and starting to violently french her, tongue and all. Silver groaned. I hope that sounded like a convincing moan to you, ye bastard!

Reaching for her right thigh, she pulled out a dagger and struck it in Stairling's leg.

Shocked, he backed away from her and drew out his sword, and everyone gasped.

Not hesistating a bit, she pulled another dagger out and threw it at him. As Stairling was getting ready to evade the attack, she struck him in the chest with her sword. He fell to the ground, saying, "Silver, Tom told...Ann told...he's coming..." Then he died. Silver laughed and threw him overboard, but not beforing searching for any weapons or money. She smiled as she pulled out 20 shillings and a sword.

Jack ran towards Silver, and picked her up, twirling her round. When he set her down, he gazed lovingly into her eyes and said, "You did it. Your the best swordsman in the world!"

Silver stared back into his eyes, then gave him a smack.

Jack recoiled and shouted, "I don't think I deserved that!"

"That's for calling me a man. I am the best swordswoman. Or swordsmaster. Whichever you prefer."

She then kissed Jack passionately. "That's for keeping your cool. I was so afraid you were going to burst out on me." She shouted for rum, and Mr. Gibbs was only happy to obey. Gulping down the entire bottle, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve, while everyone looked at her, still paralzyed with disbelief.

"What? Ye didn't think I don't know how to kill?" She spat over the side of the boat and grumbled, "Stupid Stairling. EVER HEARD OF A BLOODY BREATH MINT!" She scraped her tongue in disgust.

Commodore Norrington and his crew of 30 troops were sailing for Tortuga, when they caught sight of a vast ship returning from there.

"Meet up with this ship, they must have seen the Black Pearl!" barked Norrington.

When the two ships were side by side, he hollered, "Have you pirates seen the Black Pearl?"

The men flinched at the sound of the name, and one feebly answered back, "We just lost our five best men and our captain to those bloody pirates. They're heading for Tortuga."

"Thank you very much!" cried the commodore, and then to his crew he ordered, "We'll rest a bit, we don't want to catch up with them on their high killing point."

Norrington retired to his cabin, taking out the Serenity's veil and the ring that he was supposed to gift her with. "I'm going to save you Serenity. We'll get married. I promise." He put the articles back on his desk and fell asleep.

Woohoo! Another chapter done. Hoped you like it. By the way, I'm not sure if they had breath mints back them, but they must have had something to freshen their breath...Anyways, please review, me loves ye input!
