The Triangle of Trouble

"I suppose that they could be worse." Sighed Nicole.

"Aye lass the could be." Agreed Jack taking a swig of rum.

"That can kill you." asked Nicole watching Jack.

"This or a bullet why does it matter." Asked Jack.

"Because you've got stuff to live for why loose it all just because of drinking?" asked Nicole. Jack looked at the rum bottle and sat there thinking for a moment. Nicole's jaw dropped at what Jack did, he tossed the bottle of rum over the side of the ship.

"Umm…Jack you just…." She pointed at his empty hand and out of the ship.

"Yes I did."

"But your Jack Sparrow you just tossed rum overboard." Said Nicole disbelieving.

"Captain." Smirked Jack.

"Ok who are you and what have you done to Captain Jack Sparrow?"

"Don't worry your head 'bout the likes of me." Said Jack with one of his grins, "I only be givin' it up fer the night, now let's dance." He said getting up and grabbing Nicole's hand. Will and Kama hadn't heard the conversation but saw Jack throwing the rum overboard.

"It's a miracle he just gave up rum." Said Kama looking at her friend and Jack.

"No worries he'll be back drinking tomorrow." Said Will turning to the ocean.

"Probably but still this is a big accomplishment for Jack Sparrow."

"Captain Jack Sparrow." Said Will imitating Jack's voice.

Kama laughed and bowed, "Why my dear captain I am sorry."

Will grinned and in Jack's voice, "You should be lass now that be two weeks in the brig for you."

"But sir whatever shall I do without rum for two weeks?" pleaded Kama.

"Hmm, ye should have thought of that afer you fergot ter call me captain." They both gave each other a mock evil eye and burst out laughing. They stood there peacefully watching the ocean and Kama rested her head on Will's shoulder.

"It's peaceful out here." Said Kama with a sigh.

"Too pe—" started Will.

"Don't finish it the second you finish that sentence something bad will happen." Said Kama.

"You are quite the dancer." Smiled Nicole.

"Why thank ye lass," grinned Jack dipping her.

"You know what Jack?"

"Hmm?"

"You really know how to make a girl smile." Grinned Nicole.

"Oh really?" asked Jack smirking.

"Don't let that go to your head." Laughed Nicole.

"Aye my bonnie lass I'll try not to." Said Jack. The next song was very slow and Jack pulled Nicole closer as they circled around the deck.

A short man with no hair walked nervously up to the dancing couple Jack growled, "What?"

"Don't get angry with him." Whispered Nicole.

Jack pulled away but sill had an arm around her waist. "There is two ships followin' us capt'n and if'n I be gott'n the name right one of 'em be the Dauntless."

"Norrington!" asked Nicole with a little excitement at meeting another Pirate of the Caribbean character up close.

"Aye it must be." Said Jack thinking.

"What do we do?" Asked Nicole.

"You and Kama go to bed and not worry over any of it." Said Jack breaking away from Nicole and walking to the wheel.

"You don't just tell someone that bloody hell that just makes them worry more!" exclaimed Nicole. Nicole called screamed Kama's name and when she told her what was going on and they went to their cabin.

"So what do we do until tomorrow morning?" asked Kama.

Nicole laid down in her bed, "I'm going to sleep."

"How can you sleep with two Royal Navy ships following us?" asked Kama climbing to the top bunk.

"By ignoring you're your rambling, getting under the covers, and closing my eyes." Said Nicole.

"Good night to you too. Hey before I forget what was up with Jack throwing the rum over the side of the ship?" asked Kama.

"He was giving up rum for the night." Kama laughed, "Your kidding."

"Nope, now leave me alone so that I can sleep." Moaned Nicole.

"Fine but you telling me in the morning." Said Kama.

"Fine but go to bed." Yawned Nicole.

The Next Morning

The two girls walked out on deck to see Jack's crew in ranks and the Dauntless floating a few feet away with the Kingston right behind her. "Nicole look at the Pearl." Said Kama looking around.

"What?"

"It's clean." Said Kama shocked.

Nicole looked around grant it, it could have been better but it was free of most of the grime it had the other night. "Interesting, look who's boarding." Said Nicole nodding to the man that was walking across a plank. The man was in commander uniform and was accompanied by two naval soldiers.

"Aren't those the two guys that Jack tricked into letting him onto the Interceptor?"

"Yea it looks like the guys and the word is commandeer." Said Nicole watching Jack walk up to the Commodore.

"Come on let's go see what they want." Said Kama. Nicole groaned and trudged after her friend by the time the two girls got to Jack and Norrington Will was there.

They stood next to Will, "What does he want?" asked Kama in a whisper.

"Won't say he wants to talk with Jack in private." Answered Will. Norrington looked around the ship and his eyes stopped on Nicole and Kama. Jack turned to see what he was staring at and grinned at Nicole.

"What are you staring at?" asked Kama annoyed.

Will bent over and whispered, "Calm down ok Norrington can't do anything."

"Well its creepy with him staring at us." Whispered Kama.

" If'n you gents will follow me." Said Jack walking to his cabin.

Will, Kama, and Nicole followed after them, "What do you think it's about?" asked Nicole.

"Must be big if Norrington is here." Said Will.
