A/N: One of my longer chapters. Its longer than most of my stories.

Jack stayed true to his word. He found the nearest port, fixed the ship up, and pillaged another ship all on the way back to get Bill. All this as Johnny was to help Robby out with cabin boy work. The crew saw it as the way to go.

Bill was standing on the port watching as the Pearl made its way in. She looked as fine as ever. He wasn't really sure how Johnny would do, but it turned out fine Bill thought.

I wonder how he and Jack got along Bill though. That's when he saw Jack at the helm steering the ship…something's wrong.

Bill could tell Jack didn't know how to dock the ship so he borrowed a small boat to row his way to the ship. Before he even set foot on the ship he heard Johnny yellin somethin at him.

"Slow down and tell me what happened."

"They committed a mutiny they did. Why would I let Jack up there if he never touched the wheel? Mutiny they did. Jack should especially be punished; he gave me nothin but trouble the whole way, as did the crew."

"Not true captain." A crew member yelled.

Bill turned to see Jack standing toward the back of everyone. "Jack why don't you tell me what happened."

"So at port you made everyone use the boats to get to dock, ha, you are resourceful lad. Congratulations on good captaining."

"Thank you Captain."

"You're congratulating him? Mutiny they pulled."

"It seems they were only doing what was best for the ship."

"I can't believe this."

"You don't have to, but you can take that boat back to shore."

"Why would I…" Johnny stopped; he got the meaning of what Bill was sayin."

"Well who's gonna be your first mate?"

"Jack seemed like he was a pretty good captain. I think he would make a fine first mate."

That got a round of "Ayes" from the crew.

"He's only gonna be turning 14."

"Well then, happy birthday Jack. How do you like your present?"

Jack was again shocked by the turn of events. "I…I would be honored again Captain."

"Good, so why don't you give your old cabin to Robby and take Johnny's old cabin."

"Aye captain"
