Reviewers: LUV YA'LL


I woke up early the next morning with the feeling of something on my waist. I slowly opened my eyes, and saw an arm. Jack's. He was going to pay. I slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake him up. I succeeded. I went over and filled a rum bottle up with water, and then dumped it on his pretty, BIG, head. He shot up like a rocket and shouted a stream of curses.

"Good, now you know not to put your arm around my waist." I said, walking out the door, making sure to slam the door on my way out.

The sun stung my eyes, I took a deep breath and continued walking. The men began to stare at me, which was very creepy.

"What! Can't you go look at something else." I yelled, glaring at them all.

"Ye think yer tough dontcha luv?" A large man asked, he was covered in tattoos.

"No, I know I am." I retorted, trying to walk away but was blocked by his hand slamming against the mast. I sighed, and looked up at him.

"You are not scaring me." He looked startled, but soon smiled.

"I like her mates." He said, to the crew, still smiling.


I was sitting with the crew, listening to their shocking stories. It's amazing what some of them went through. Suddenly, a woman began to speak from behind us.

"Eyes off her. No one is to touch her or I'll sock ye into next week." She hollered, I turned around and saw a pretty woman. Her hair was straight and charcoal black. Her eyes were a dark blue and the kohl brought out her eyes.

'Thank god, a woman to talk to, besides Lizzie.' I thought. She walked up to me and smiled.

"Ello me name be Ana Maria." She said, holding her hand out. I looked at it, and shook her hand smiling.

"I'm Samantha." I replied, looking for any sign of Elizabeth.

"It's nice to have another woman on board, beside Elizabeth." I snapped my head in her direction.

"I take it you two don't get along to well."

She laughed, "You're exactly right. Do you know her?"

"She's my best friend actually." I explained, "but don't worry. I don't give a shit if you don't like her."

"Thank ye…" She replied, sitting down. "Ye know for a princess, ye sure don't act like one."

I sighed, and was about to spill to her everything I have kept inside me all these years.

"ANA! No sitting down on the job, get yer lazy arse back ta work." Jack shouted from the helm. "Samantha, get over here luv."

"Stupid git." Ana said walking away.

"Idiota borioso." I muttered, walking in the opposite direction. (Conceited Idiot) I walked up to Jack and waited for him to acknowledge my presence. He glanced up and smiled cockily.

"Do ye know how to sail, luv?" Jack asked, and by the tone of his voice he probably thought I couldn't.

"Why as a matter of fact, I do." I exclaimed, proudly.

"Ye do?" Jack asked shocked.

"Yes." I smiled, "Let me show you." I tried to grab the wheel but had my hands hit by Jack.

"No one touches me wheel 'cept me…Savvy?" He growled.

Savvy…but it seems someone is a bit overprotective." I muttered, earning a glare from Jack. He was about to yell at me, when Liz called me.

"Sam!" She shouted from the deck. I stuck my tongue out at Jack and jumped down the stairs.

"Yes Liz."

"Are you ok? Did he touch you? Did he…"

"Calm down! I am fine, no he didn't touch me and don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. Elizabeth looked relieved and finally brought me down below to get some food.


(Jack's P.O.V)

I sat on my chair by my desk, feet propped up on the bed and took another drink of my rum. My mind was flooded with the fact that Samantha was a princess.

Maybe ye should dump her in some port.

"What good would that do?"

Lot's of good.

"Don't argue with me mate! The whole bleedin' king's navy would be followin' me arse 'till I die."

So…

"Shut up!" I shouted, a bit too loud.

"You've finally lost it." Will stated standing in the doorway, trying not to laugh.

"Sod off, Eunuch." I snapped, I wasn't in the mood.

"Sorry." He exclaimed, sitting beside my feet. "Sam's different eh, Jack?" I wonder what he is getting at.

"Aye mate." I said, picturing Samantha. She was the prettiest thing I had ever seen.

"You…you don't feel for her…do you Jack?" He asked. I nearly choked on my rum.

"She ain't me type mate! Snobbish ain't a quality I like in a women." I replied, drinking more rum.

"SAM! Are you nuts, you are going kill your self!" I heard Elizabeth shout. I glanced at Will and dropped my rum as we ran out the door. This lass was bad luck.

"I bet the lass gets halfway up and gets stuck!" Jacoby yelled, taking out a bag of money.

"Nah, she can do it. She's anything but an ordinary princess mates." Ana Maria remarked.

"I got ta remember to ask her how she found out Samantha was a princess."

"Where is she?" Will asked, frantically looking about.

"Up there mate." I swallowed hard, she was headed for the crow's nest.


(Sam's P.O.V)
The wind felt wonderful against my skin. I glanced down and noticed how high I was.

"Luv, get down from there before ye fall!" Jack yelled, sounding concerned.

"No!" I shouted, climbing further up. I was finally in the crows nest and I gasped. Everything looked so beautiful, the sun was just dipping below the horizon, so the sky was lit up with different shades of oranges, yellows, reds and even some purple and pink streaks. Nothing at all could ruin this moment. Not even Jack, whom was standing right behind me.

"Beautiful ain't it luv?" Jack asked, softly. I just nodded. We stayed up there for some time, just talking.

"…and now I am here." I said, finishing my life story.

"More interesting than my life luv." Jack replied, staring at me.

"Oh and that is where you are definitely wrong." I sighed, climbing down the netting. Jack was right behind me. Shockingly, everyone was still there waiting for us. I jumped of the netting and landed on my feet.

"Ye just won me 20 shillings from these bums!" She exclaimed, hugging me tightly. I laughed as the crew started commenting me and that's when Jack started talking.

"Fun's over mates. Get back to work!" He walked over to the helm and called me. I sighed and walked over to him.

"What did I do now?" I asked, making my way towards him.

"Can ye fix sails?" He asked, turning the ship slightly.

"Yes, I've don't it loads of times." I said, proudly.

"Good…Mr. Gibbs! Samantha here will be helping ye." Jack exclaimed, pushing me over to Mr. Gibbs.

"Come 'ere pet. I won't hurtcha." He smiled sweetly. I walked over to him and we got to work. "Here ye go lass. Sit there and ye can help us mend the sails." He went over to the side of the ship and dropped anchor as the rest of us mended the sails.

I practically fell on Jack as I got into bed. This caused lot's of yelling.

"Geez luv, watch what yer doin." He shouted, pushing me off him.

"Sorry." I yawned. I was exhausted and my hands hurt like hell. I began to rub them and Jack noticed how swollen they were and grabbed them. I yelped.

"Sorry luv. What 'appened?" He asked, massaging my fingertips.

"I poked myself with the needle too many times." I explained, closing my eyes.


(Jack's P.O.V)
I looked at her fingers again and shuddered. They were really swollen.

"Sorry luv." I repeated, blowing on her fingers. I stopped immediately and mentally kicked myself. Jack Sparrow was NOT affectionate.

"What…for?" She asked yawning.

"I shouldn't have…" I began but stopped when Samantha fell back and began snoring softly. I pulled her under the covers and walked out of the room, pausing in the doorway to say,

"G'night luv." I closed the door and made my way up to the helm.

I was up on deck all by onsies, and for once, I didn't like it. I wanted Sam here with me. I don't know why I did, but there was something about her that draws me to her. She is different from all the woman I have been with and she proved me wrong today. I shook my head and looked at the sky.

"Yer starting to like her…admit it."

"No I ain't mate."

"Jack please…I've been the only piece of yer brain that works ever since ye were little and I know that ye feel for her."

"I don't feel for her, I just me her…and I have a WHOLE brain not only a piece!"

"Yer stubborn ye know that?"

"Yes and I'm quite proud of that mate!"

"Jack who on earth are you talking to?" Came the worried voice of none other than: Will.

"Ummm…meself?" I said. I kicked myself mentally.

"Now he must think yer crazy. Ta!"

"Stupid brain." I whispered. I heard Will chuckle as he walked up to me.

"Jack, where is this…treasure?"

"Well mate…ye see…it's not exactly an easy treasure to get at. It belongs to the deceased Captain Barbossa…remember him mate?" I asked turning around to see a very angry looking Will.

"You put my wife…and my best friend in danger! Jack, you have mental issues!"

"I am worried about them ye know!" I took a deep breath to calm myself down and looked at Will. "Listen, they will be alright. I promise nothing will happen to them mate."

"And if they are…I will kill you myself Jack." Will gave me one more glare and then went below deck.

"What have I gotten meself into?"

Meanwhile, In Italy…

"What do you mean she was kidnapped?" King Gianni roared, glaring at Captain Hordes.

"She wasn't their when we arrived sir, I asked the Commodore and he said she had been kidnapped by…what is his name…Captain Jack Sparrow." King Gianni's face fell, he looked scared…defeated. Captain Jack Sparrow, the infamous Captain of the Black Pearl had kidnapped his daughter. Gianni rose from the chair, he began walking to the door but he paused once he reached it.

"Get all your guards after him. I want him brought back to me…alive."


(Sam's P.O.V)

I woke up by myself. Jack wasn't there and for some reason it bugged me. I was growing fond of him, even though I had just met him he was…different. I shook the thought out of my head and made my way up on deck to realize that it was still night time. I walked to the side of the deck and looked at the water below me. Everything was so peaceful on 'The Pearl.'

"Dadada…and really bad eggs." Someone sang from the helm. I spun around and saw Jack. I smiled and made my way up to the helm, without being noticed. I was successful. Slowly and quietly I shouted from behind Jack. He jumped and fell on the ground. I laughed as I helped him up.

"Thanks luv." Jack said sarcastically.

"Calm down, twas only a joke!" I hissed, beginning to walk away.

"Alright, alright! Come back, stay up here with me." I turned around and smiled.

"Fine…" It was silent for a while, but I began to get worried about something.

"Jack…"

"Aye."

"What if my father sends ships out to come after me…you…I mean, you and your crew could get hurt…or worse…die." Jack stopped sailing the ship and walked over to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and sighed.

"Luv, we will be fine. Don't worry about us or me…I'm Captain Jack Sparrow…savvy?"

"Savvy." I laughed, walking over to the helm. Jack ran over and grabbed the wheel.

"Do not touch this luv! No one sails me ship, except…"

"Yes I know! Except you!"

"Aye, now be good and shut up for a minute lass, I know it's difficult, but I need to remember me maps."

I studied Jack as he thought. He was definitely one of the most handsome men I had ever seen in my whole life. His hair in dreadlocks with a whole bunch of accessories in it, but the thing that was most definitely his best feature were his gorgeous brown eyes that were surrounded by Kohl. He turned around and got a cocky smile on his face.

"Like the view luv?" He asked.

"No actually…it's quite disturbing." I grinned; he chuckled and turned back to sailing.

"You know what Jack. I am actually glad I decided to come here, the life I have back in Italy was good, but, I wasn't free." Jack froze and went over to the anchor and dropped it. He came over and sat beside me.

"Tell me all 'bout it luv."

"Every since I was little I have been told what to do, what to wear, how to act and who to love! It's sickening but no one understands it. Not even my father or my mother and all my sisters do is make fun of me!" I jumped up and began pacing the deck. "Every time I think I actually find someone who likes me for who I am they start trying to change me slowly. The think I'm to boy-ish, rambunticious and to adventurous! I just…" I leaned against the pole connecting to the crows nest and slowly fell to the floor. "I can't go back to where I used to be." I muttered into Jack's shoulder as he came over and comforted me.

"Luv...ye can have people telling ye what to do. Stick up for yerself and don't listen to those other idiotic men. Any man who steals yer heart will be the luckiest man in the world." He said, still hugging me. I glanced up and something weird happened. I saw something in Jack, something I loved. I had just met him and already…I was falling for him.

"Jack…I'm tired so I'm going to go below deck…but, thank you and I'll see you tomorrow morning." I managed to get out. I wiggled my way out of Jack's arms and made my way below deck. I needed to talk to someone. Someone I could trust not to tell Jack or anyone else anything. Lizzie. I crept into her room and watched her and Will sleep for a few seconds. I wanted to scream to wake them up, but, that'd be rude. I bit my lip trying to keep the scream in but the temptation came over me and I gave up.

"ELIZABETH! WAKE UP!" Elizabeth shot out of bed and glared at me.

"What was that for?"

"I don't know I felt like it."

"Oh Lord…It's so early. What do you need?"

"I'm amazed…Will didn't wake up!" Will rolled over and snored so loud that Liz and I both laughed.

"I need to talk to you…privately." Elizabeth's eyes went wide and she looked at me.

"Let's go into the galley. No one is down there." We walked down to the galley and made our way to the table furthest from the door.

"Alright. What is so important that you had to wake me from my beauty sleep?" Liz yawned.

"I think…I'm falling for Jack." Elizabeth's eyes shot open and she shouted.

"YOUR WHAT? HOW CAN THAT BE?"

"Keep it down will you!" I clamped my hand over Elizabeth's mouth and continued.

"I know I only met him a two day's ago but he's unlike any other man I've ever met. He's roguish, charming, psychotic and funny. All the other men back in Italy were…conficcato su gli mettersi in mostra." (stuck up show offs) I sighed. Elizabeth nodded.

"I understand…remember Norrington?" I nodded. "Well, I was supposed to marry him but, I got Will and now I couldn't be happier but…"

"But what?"

"I am only the governor's daughter; you are the Princess of Italy. Think of what the people would say about you."

"That is something that does not bother me. Never has, never will."

"Someone say my name?" Will yawned stumbling down the stairs. I smiled.

"Why are you here? You should be in your bed…snoring." Liz and I laughed. He gave us both very puzzled looks.

"Do I even want to know?" Will asked, sitting beside me Liz.

"No." I snorted, which made us all laugh.

"Can ye all shut up or is it not probable?" Jack asked from the stairway. We all looked up at him and smiled.

"Who's steering the ship?" Will enquired, taking an apple from the fruit bowl.

"Gibbs."

"I thought you said no one steers the ship except, you." I said.

"Gibbs is an exception…Savvy?"

"Savvy." Jack came and sat down beside me. He leaned back in his chair and propped his boots up on the table. I immediately pushed them off. He put them back on and I pushed them off again.

"What the hell do ye think yer doing?" Jack shouted, glaring at me.

"In Italy it's back luck to have your shoes on the table. It brings bad luck."

"Well, we aren't in Italy are we." Jack smirked, putting his feet on the table once again. I wasn't going to lose this little fight. I grabbed his feet and threw them on the floor.

"I don't care if we are in Italy or not. If you put your feet on the table on more time I'll tell the whole crew about how nice you were to me on the helm this evening." Jack's eyes went wide and he kept his feet off of the table for the time being. Jack-One. Samantha-One. I was catching up quick.
