"Ow..." Jack tried not to chuckle as Ana's legs buckled and she fell to the floor. "It isn't funny." Trying to put on a straight face but failing miserably Jack shook his head.
"No. no its not. Your right it isn't fun-"bursting into laughter Jack found that he couldn't finish his sentence. The next time he looked up, he was on the receiving end of a death glare. He changed the subject quickly away from her falling on her ass. "Wouldn't you be cooler if you took that off?" Jack pointed to her shirt, which was in many cases symbolizing a sweat shirt. Ana just raised her eyebrows at him. "I mean ye have something under there don't ye?"
"Yes."
"Well then. Take it off and you'll be able to try and fight me better because you won't be as bothered by the heat." Jack paused. "And say aye instead of yes.... It sounds more..." jack used his hands to express what he was trying to say. "Pirate. Savvy."
"You remind me of a duck you know that." Jack blinked. That wasn't something he had been expecting to hear.
"A... du... a... a...a DUCK? How do I remind you of a DUCK? Please tell me because no one has ever called me a DUCK before." Ana was trying not to giggle at the way he was behaving.
"It's the way you move your head when you speak. Its duck like." It was Jacks turn to glare. "Quack." More glares. "Quack quack." Steam was practically coming out of his ears now. "Quack quack quack quack..."
"Stop quacking! What happened to that girl that I help last week? The nice timid one, that was too shy to do or say anything in case of something happening? Where did she go?" Ana took a deep breath.
"Didn't she tell you she had a twin sister, with exactly the same name. Yeah we swapped during the week." Jack stared at her for a few minuets, trying to catch her eye. When he did she just grinned and tried not to laugh again.
"Swing like this if you want to block a blow coming from this direction..." and her lesson started off again.

Ana sat on her bed, in the tiny cabin she had been given, tracing her finger over the cuts and bruises that were beginning to heal on her left arm. Sighing she looked up when she heard a knock at the door. Quickly pulling her sleeves back down she waited for the person to come in as they never bothered waiting for someone other then Jack of course to say they could enter.
"Ana Maria foods up." She gave a tiny smile to Gibbs, as she got up off the bed and followed him out of the room.
The crew had so far been kind to her, a but wary not sure how they could act around her. She hoped that when she had been given the chance to learn about the ship (she was being taught fighting at the moment) that they would be easier around her and treat her as part of their crew or team and not just someone that they had to be kind too.
Looking down at the plate she had just been given she wondered how she was going to eat it al. the food they were giving her, had gone up each day, at first it was just over the amount that she ate as a slave, then it was tidily going up. But she felt guilty if she couldn't finish off the food. The day before she had forced herself to eat it all, but the amount she had now she knew she wouldn't before she was sick.
Gibbs seemed to pick up on her hesitation to eat. She had been sat between him and another crewmate called curly- because of his curly mop of hair.
"Ye don't have t' eat it all lass. Jest what ye can. I'm sure someone 'round here will eat what's left." Ana smiled weakly at him and began to eat. By the time she had finished, half the food was still there.
"Why don't you eat much?" Ana looked up from where her eyes had been resting to see Jack standing practically over her.
"I don't know. I'm not hungry. I think if I ate much more I might be sick." Jack stared at her.
"You managed t' eat it all yesterday." Ana laughed a little.
"Yeah I forced my self. Thought I really would be sick. Almost was actually." Jack shook his head and called to one of his crew, who came and took her plate away so that he could eat the left over food.
"Come on then, lets finish off the lesson." Ana got up and followed Jack out into the sunlight. He was planning to teach her with everyone watching!

Ana sighed, as she listened to everyone laughing below. She was sat in her cabin by herself, feeling left out. She knew she really shouldn't because she didn't consider herself as part of the crew or their friends. A knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts.
"Do you want t' come pay cards Maria?" Curly was standing in the door way a big grin on his face.
"I... I don't know how." He just shrugged.
"You got t' learn someday. Come on I'll teach ye." A smile appeared on her face.
"Ok."

2 hours later, while some of the crew where getting drunk out of their minds, Ana sat behind Jack watching him, curly and Gibbs play cheat.
"I 'ave 3 aces." Ana looked over Jack's shoulder, and mouthed cheat to the other two men. Jack didn't know she was sat behind him at the moment.
"Cheat." Jack looked at the pile of cards lying on the table then back to curly, which had spoken.
"You think this wise boy?" his eyes darted up to Ana's who just grinned and tried not to laugh.
"Aye, I do. Capt'n I think yer cheatin'." His hand moved to the pile of cards and flipped over the top 3. A look of triumph spread across his face, and Ana was unable to keep her laughter in longer. Jack spun around finally realising that she had been sat behind him the whole time.
"You were- they were- you were all cheatin'!" Jack shook his head and turned back to Ana. "Your going t' pay fer that. Sit down." Jack paused. "And no one sit behind me to 'elp 'er out." Ana couldn't help but giggle as she began playing against her captain.
