:x:x:

"I really hate this island." I moaned brushing three bugs off my breeches.

"Get used ta it luv." Jack sighed taking a bug out of my hair. "Bugs are everywhere."

"I hate bugs."

"So do I." Ana said jumping on one.

"Ana! I think you killed it." Will laughed as she kept jumping. She stopped and glared at Will.

"Eunuch, don't make me hurt you."

"Do you know what's coming up?" I smiled.

"What?" Ana and Jack asked.

"Christmas." Will laughed.

"Yes, Christmas."

"Bah humbug." Jack frowned. "Christmas is for fools, lasses and...eunuchs."

"Don't tell me you don't like Christmas?" I asked in shock.

"Lass, I just don't like it…I hate it. It's a waste of time." I rolled my eyes.

"Everything's a waste of time according to you."

"Lass look out!" Jack yelled diving on top of me.

"Jack!" I screeched.

"He saved your life." Will said in awe. I looked up and saw him staring at a sword lodged into the tree.

"I thought you only knew how to do that Will." I gulped. Jack rolled off of me and helped me up.

"I thought I did." I looked over and saw someone duck behind the bushes.

"Look, over there!" I shouted walking towards the bush.

"Lass, get back here." I shushed Jack and he got angry.

"Did she just shush me? Captain Jack Sparrow?" He asked Ana in an outrage.

"Give it a rest Jack." Ana muttered rolling her eyes. "Sam, be careful." I nodded and walked over to the bush. It began to shake and I stared at it mysteriously. Why wasn't the person trying to run?

"Show yourself you coward." I hissed pulling my cutlass out.

"Don't 'urt me." A man's voice moaned.

"I'll decide that when I see you." The bushed shook some more and a man emerged. He had scraggly salt and pepper hair that was covered up by a gigantic hat, his eyes were the most mysterious and breathe taking things I had ever seen. One eye was blue and one was green. He was wearing a black shirt that was revealing a bit of his chest, and he had a pair of brown breeches on, brown boots and he had a dark green vest on.

"Who are you?" I asked putting my cutlass away.

"Lass, what are ye doing? Kill him." Jack roared. I ignored him.

"I am Herman Calico." My eyes widened. Where have I heard that name before? "And you are?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"Samantha DiBattista." Herman's eyes widened and he smiled.

"Yer tha princess."

"Good observation, wait, how did you know that?"

"I am your…never mind that. How are you?"

"Mate, enough wif tha questions." Jack said putting an arm around my waist.

"Well, well, well…Captain Jack Sparrow." He smiled revealing several gold teeth.

"Herman Calico…I've heard about ye. How did ye survive being on this island all these years?" Jack asked him. Herman looked at Jack's arm and growled.

"I have me ways Sparrow." Jack smirked, put his gun away, and wrapped his other arm around my waist. I rolled my eyes.

"Men…" I said softly. Ana chuckled.

"Me name is Ana Maria Restrepo." She said sticking her hand out for him to shake.

"Herman." He smiled seductively. Ana quickly pulled away and shoved Will in front of her. I laughed.

"Will Turner." He said.

"Ah, the son of Bootstrap Bill." He smiled shaking his hand. "Yer a spitting image of him mate."

"So I've been told." Will sighed. He was getting sick of being told it all the time. I knew it.

"Well, I shall be going now." He began to walk away.

"Not so fast." I shouted pulling my cutlass out and holding it to his back. He turned around and smiled.

"Do you know how to use that, lass?" He asked.

"Of course! The pointy end goes into the other guy." I said and Jack smirked. Herman pulled out his cutlass and smiled.

"Ready?" Jack's eyes went wide.

"Ready." I smiled as our swords clashed. He tried to swipe me but I blocked his sword. He knocked it out of my hand and it fell to the floor. I smiled and ran over to the sword. He tried to grab it but I stepped on his fingers. He yelled as I picked up my sword and cut his hat into pieces. I swung at him but he blocked me. We heard yelling in the distance. Herman turned around, and when he did Jack pushed me out of the way and drew out his cutlass. Herman turned around again and looked at Jack and then at me.

"Hey…I thought I was fighting you." He said.

"That is because you are stupid." I retorted.

"Parley." Herman moaned. He didn't want to fight Jack.

"I am the Captain ye idiot."

"Ah, right." He sighed and lifted his hands in defeat. "Go ahead then, smite me where I stand." Jack smiled and raised his sword.

"Well, well, well if it ain't Samantha, the fiercest female pirate in the whole Caribbean." Massimiliano grinned.

"Aye, tis me." 11 year old Samantha smirked. "And now, you shall be no more sir." She raised her fake sword and Massimiliano dropped his.

"Ah right." He sighed and lifted his hands in defeat. "Go ahead, smite me where I stand." Samantha laughed, dropped her sword and hugged her grandfather.

"STOP!" I screamed and ran over to the man.

"Sam…get out of tha way." Ana shouted.

"You cannot kill him."

"And why tha hell not?" Jack asked angrily.

"Because…he reminds me of someone." Jack looked at me like I had lost my mind. "This island is really getting to ye." He put his cutlass away and helped me and Herman up.

"Thank you miss."

"No problem. Why don't you come with us? You look starved."

"Lass…" Jack hissed. I ignored him.

"Ignore him. He's a bit fussy." I smiled taking the mans hand and leading him towards the ship.

"Women." Jack grumbled as he walked up the gangplank. "I'll never understand them."

:x:x:

"Hungry?" I laughed as Herman shoved more bread in his mouth. Jack was sitting across the table in a terrible mood.

"Yes…thank you…for the…food." He said in between mouthfuls.

"Keep eatin' like tha and we are all gonna starve ta death." Jack muttered. I threw a piece of bread at him.

"Shush." Jack glared at me.

"Do ye have any, um, stanza di bagno?" He asked. I looked at him, and furrowed my eyebrows. I had a feeling that I knew this man but from where?

"Speak English mate!" Jack yelled.

"Oh, Jack shut up. Of course we do, if you go down the hall, the third door to your right." Herman nodded, got up and walked out of the galley.

"I don't like him." Jack muttered folding his arms across his chest. I glanced over at Jack and laughed. "It ain't funny luv."

"You're jealous."

"Me! Lass, I am Captain Jack Sparrow…"

"Oh save it Jack." I moaned. Jack huffed and pulled his hat down lower. I got up and left the room.

"Wench." Jack whispered.

"I heard that Jack!" I yelled over my shoulder. I went into the supply room and sat in between Bucky and the goat, which I name Theo.

"Stupid jealous man." I sighed.

"Jack?" Someone asked from the doorway. Herman.

"Yes." I giggled. "He is so…annoying at times."

"All men are like that lass." He said sitting down across from me on a barrel.

"Even you?" I teased.

"Aye." He said sadly. I looked at him and I swear to God, I knew that I knew this man from somewhere. I had met him along time ago but…who was he?

"Do you know Jack?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence.

"Aye. I met him a long time ago in Tortuga." I snorted. "Ye don't like Tortuga?" He asked in shock. I laughed.

"Not every person fancies that place. It was alright, too many whores if you ask me." I spat in disgust.

"Even I hafta agree wif ye there." I looked up at him.

"Liar." I joked.

"Nah." He chuckled. "I have, excuse me I mean, I had a love of me own. She was the most beautiful person in the world with a heart of gold. I would have done anything for her but, I heard she was with child one day so I left."

"I'm so sorry." I said sympathetically.

"Not ta be rude lass, but it's hard ta trust women too. There is no one ye can trust with all yer might. Ye may think ye do, but ye don't."

"I believe that." I muttered thinking about Hugh.

"Do I make ye sad?" He asked noticing the look on my face.

"Oh not at all. You are a wonderful man Hugh. I am glad I just met you." I smiled. "If you'll excuse me, I have to go cheer up a angry pirate." I added getting up and walking towards the door.

"Not at all lass." He smiled.

"If you want some company talk to Bucky." I winked. "…or you know where my cabin is." He laughed.

"Aye…" I walked out of the room and down the hall. "…me luv."

"Jack…you okay?" I asked walking out on the helm.

"Never been better." He smiled. It was a honest smile. I looked at him suspiciously. He laughed.

"I ain't gonna stay mad forever." I sighed.

"Where are we going now?" Jack grabbed me and put me in front of him. I put my hands on the helm and steered the ship with him.

"Ta tha east side of the islands." Jack whispered in my ear. "We haven't found anything yet." He sighed.

"What about that treasure chamber!" I asked. All that gold and jewels gone. Just like that. We were leaving because of what happened, I wasn't dumb.

"We are going ta come back for tha'." Jack reassured me. I sighed in relief.

"Ye know for a princess…" Jack teased. "…ye sure do fight good."

"Oh, now we are making fun of me." I laughed turning around.

"Aye." He whispered wrapping his arms around me.

"Jack, the ship." I said.

"Lass, we haven't been moving. The anchor is down in Davy Jones Locker…well, close ta it. Ye've been captivated by me that ye haven't noticed." I snorted. "Now where were we?" He asked kissing me. I smiled and kissed him back. He picked me up and we went down below.

"IF ANY OF YE KNOCK ON THIS DOOR OR COME IN I'LL HAVE YER HEAD SERVED TA ME ON A SILVER PLATTER!" Jack screamed as he slammed the door to our cabin shut.

"Oh do shut up Jack." Liz yelled back. I giggled at Liz and at Jack as he dropped me on the bed and climbed on top of me.

"Prepare ta be boarded, savvy?"

Back to…

"SIR! We have spotted them!" Gillette yelled barging in on James, Hugh and Gianni. Gianni jumped up and ran up the stairs and on the helm. Gillette handed him the scope and he looked through it and smiled.

"We will wait two days before we attack men. Turn this ship around and we will make our way around the island and meet up with them." James shouted. The navy got to right to work. "There will be no resting till we find her!"

"Good on you sir." Hugh smiled maliciously. "What if she gets hurt?" Gianni looked at James and nodded.

"Since when do you care?"

:x:x:

A/N: Jack: Since she is knocked out…did ye like it? If ye didn't I shall kill ye with my swishy swishy. (winks at Beth) Me: Sea monkey…stole my money. Jack: (sighs) She'll be the next 40 year old virigin. Me: (throws a glass Jack's head) Jack: I WAS JOKIN! Sheesh. Review savvy?
