...........

"Touga straight ahead sir!"

"Aye! Home sweet home" said Gibbs walking across the deck to Jack.

"So... uh... what do we do now? Were waiting for your orders," said Timothy.

Jack smiled laid a hand on Timothy's shoulder "We drink!" Gibbs smiled.

Anamaria called to the crew on the deck "Everyone must be report back to Pearl at 12:00 pm midnight." The crew groaned. "I suggest that all you all try to find new crewmates for the Pearl. As you know we are a rather small crew".

Jack then spoke "No thieving scallywags, just ye noble well polished men". The deck went silent "Just joshing ya" Jack grinned and the crewmembers walked on to Togua. Gibbs and Timothy were on watch for the Black Pearl. They had the felling it was going to be a long one.

.........

Jack smiled it was good to be back in Togua. The pirtates, the whores, the women, the...

"Rum" thought Jack and walked right into the Faithful Bride. Anamaria followed behind Jack taking in their surroundings. She looked at one of the whores and thought of how pitiful they were. to sell themselves for men like Jack.

The Faithful Bride was crowed as usually. Jack excused himself form Anamaria; he waved hello to Jergen the bartender. "Who's that Jack?" said Jergen gesturing towards Anamaria. She walked over to an empty table and dranked her Ale. Rum was good but to her Ale was what she enjoyed best. "Oh her" Jack said smiling "My crewmate" said Jack.

"She's very pretty Jack, ya better watch out before "I" take her" said Jergen eyeing Anamaria.

Jack grabbed Jergen roughly by the collar "She's more than that-Jergen" Jack spat "Now get meh a rum" Jack said releasing his collar dropping Jergen to the floor. Jergen scampered away from Jack to get his rum and muttered "Crazy ass".

"What was that Jergen?" said Jack

"Um... would ya like a glass?"

"Aye!"

............

Anamaria surveyed the room. Jack was over near the bar flirting his head off...

"So, ... I stabbed him right in ye heart" Jack said miming himself stabbing the man in the heart and the girls were all laughing in awe.

"Jack you're so brave" said Jean one of the oogleing women and placed her hand on Jack's thigh.

Anamaria couldn't stand it when the measly whores fell over Jack like that.

"Damn" said Anamaria slamming the glass on the table. She held her face in her hands and just thought.

"I just can't do it," she whispered.

"Can't do what?" said a voice asking in a whisper to her response.

The man stood over her "What's happen' in-why do ya feel so down?" he wore a hat similar to Jack's hat but Dark brown, with a badge shirt and black worn pants. His skin was an olive shade that made his short brown hair go beautiful with his chocolate brown eyes.

Anamaria stood drawing her sword afraid he was going to attack her.

He smiled "Sorry ta alarm ya" he put his hands up in defense "I am here about maybe becoming a member on your ship"

Anamaria lowered her sword and grinned slamming a piece of paper on the table "Good, you're the first one".

They sat down and he looked at Anamaria "So where do I start?"

...........

"Jack that's yah 23rd glass o'rum" Jorgen said watching Jack sway back and forth "Jack? Jack! Jack!"

"What da bloody hell do ya want?!" Jack said lazily.

"I think ya should stop drinking cuz yah-

Jack grabbed Jergen around his collar again propped his pistol to Jergen's head "I tell ya when I had enough, now POOR". Jergen poored him another glass.

Two hours passed and Jack was feeling wosey. He had one to many bottles of rum. Jack smiled weakly and excused himself from the bar. He didn't say bye to Jergens because he was seeing ten of him and didn't known which one to say bye to.

"Will ya be back Jack?" said Jean planting a soft kiss on his cheek.

Jack smiled "You know it "burp", luv" Jack smiled.

.........

Jack couldn't stop from staggering; finally he got his footing together. He searched around for Anamaria. He staggered a few more times and sighed. Anamaria was having a conversation with a "man" and she was "laughing"? Jack frowned, her never made Anamaria laugh only when she laughed at him out of sarcasm not for just happeness.

"Anamaria" he mumbled and walked to her table.

Anamaria was laughing so hard and smiling with joy. Jack looked at her again making sure that "this" was Anamaria- the Anamaria he knew that would slap any man that tried to pull a mickey.

"Anamaria" he said sternly. She glared at him because he interrupted her conversation "who is this-man?" he said eyeing him up and down.

Anamaria replied "He wants to join ye crew" she smiled at the man "he's a very good sailor and is willing ta help".

"Mmm hummm" Jack said

Jack looked at the man up and down again "He was good competition," Jack thought.

"And? What is your name? Sir" Jack bowed mockingly. He began to tap his foot in annoyance.

The man stood slowly and took out his hand to shake Jack's but, Jack refused it looking at his hand as if it was unclean. "My name is Thomas" he smiled and looked at Anamaria "Thomas Riles".
