REVIEW:
"No fighting!" yelled Cassandra.
"That is I believe the first time I've heard her curse." Said Elizabeth.
"It's the first I've heard." Said Will, "And I've know her nineteen years."
"She looked a little like a soaked cat when she was yelling at us." Said Jack.
Will let out a small laugh, "Yea especially when she called you a dumb ass."
"Come on you two let's get you cleaned up." Said Elizabeth. Jack and Will followed her laughing and joking like the best of friends.

-NEXT MORNING
"What do you want me to do?" asked Cassandra following Jack.
"Nothing luv."
"Is this because of you feeling guilty about knocking me into the ocean? I am just fine. And if it is because of the bruise my arm is feeling almost normal again."
"Will was the one who knocked you into the ocean luv, I am the one that saved you and Will would kill me if I so much as made you look at a mop and bucket."
"You didn't seem to mind it yesterday and neither did Will. And since when is Jack Sparrow afraid of Will Turner?"
"Ah but Will had thought you said something you shouldn't have. And I don't fear your brother just have a healthy respect for him."
"Ok I get that but why did you make me do it? Not that I did a lot of the work anyways. Some of the crew and some of the men from the Salvager helped quite a bit. They all said something about it not being right a girl doing all that work."
"Oh and who were these fine gentlemen?" asked Jack.
"As if I would tell you and get them in trouble. Well if you won't give me something to do then I shall have to find something on my own." Said Cassandra skipping off.
She stopped in front of Jean-Luc, "Bonjour. Ca va?"
"Ca va, et toi?"
"Bein merci." She smiled. (Translation: Cassandra: Hello How are you? Jean-Luc: Alright, and you? Cass: Good thank-you) Cassandra stood on her toes and gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek, and then she skipped to the other side of the ship. Cassandra saw a man tying knots in rope and walked over to him.
"Could you teach me?" The man didn't show any signs of hearing her.
"Excuse me sir?"
"You are waistin' you time miss."
"And why's that?" asked Cassandra turning to the man addressing her.
"Because he's deaf."
"Oh dear." She said looking at the man.
"Does he know sign language?"
"No."
"Alright then I shall teach him." Cassandra said sitting down in front of the man.
"Can he read lips?" Cassandra asked the man.
"Yea, but you are wasting your time." The man shook his head and walked away. Cassandra gave the man sitting a sweet smile and he returns with a grin. Cassandra points to the untied rope to the knotted rope and finally to herself.
"Teach me." She said. He nodded his head and smiled the biggest smile Cassandra had ever seen. The man's handed Cassandra a length of rope and she tries to copy what he is doing but somehow ties her hands together. The man made a noise that sounded a lot like a laugh.
Cassandra glared at him and held out her arms so he could untie her hands. With a few tugs he had her arms free and he handed Cassandra the rope.
He slowly went through the steps again and Cassandra is proud when she comes out with the knot that the man was teaching her. Cassandra gave him a hug and smile feeling very accomplished. However it darkened, as did the man's face. Cassandra gave him a confused look and he nods to someone behind her.
"What do you want Landen?" Cassandra asked coldly.
"Why are you with him?"
"Because I can and I want to learn. Now excuse yourself and leave me alone."
"There is a lot I could teach you."
"No, I don't believe so. It would require more brains than a fish." Said Cassandra looking at the man with the ropes. He obviously understood what happened according to the amused look on his face, Cassandra gave him a secretive wink.
However he leapt up and nimbly dove over Cassandra. "Oh goodness." Said Cassandra when she saw the two men fighting. At the top of her voice Cassandra yelled, "Mr. Sparrow!"
After she saw Jack and Will sprinting to her she turned back to the fight. By now both men had bloody noses and a few bruises, however Landen looked far worse. Jack pulled back the man who had been teaching Cassandra and Will had Landen.
Now there was a crowd to see what had happened. Jack let go of him and stood in front of him and mouth, 'What happened?' The rope man pointed to Landen discussed then punched his fist into his head and then pointed at Cassandra. Jack repeated what the rope man did and he nodded his head. Will had let go of him and Jack slowly turned on Landen, Cassandra just realized what the rope man meant.
"Why you low pig!" screamed Cassandra jumping onto Landen clawing his face. Landen started crying immediately. Someone tried to pull her off but Cassandra elbowed the person in the nose. Cassandra went back to taking her anger and frustration out on Landen. Finally someone picked her up and set Cassandra in a barrel of cold water. Cassandra took deep breaths and see Jack standing there with a bloody nose.
"Oh boy."
"Oh boy is right." Said Jack helping Cassandra out of the water.
"Is everyone alright?"
"Samson has a cut or two a bloody lip, Landon I don't think will ever mentally recover what happened. Half me crew nearly died from laughter, and all I have is a bloody nose."
"Let me see." Cassandra said. All of this time Cassandra didn't notice Jack's hands are still on her hips.
"It doesn't seem that bad."
"Well it feels bad." Said Jack.
"I thought a pirate like you could take it." Cassandra said pulling herself away.
"Watch your mouth Miss or I'll..."
"One it's Miss Turner and two you said so yourself that if you so much as make me took at a bucket Will would kill you. Ciao, Mr. Sparrow."
Cassandra smiled and skipped off to her room. "You are the most confusing woman I have ever met." Whispered Jack. Cassandra turned and grinned then went back to going to her room. Jack grinned wondering if she had heard him, but she was too far away she couldn't have could she?
"That's Jack to you!" he yelled. Jack hit his forehead when he realized what he said.
"She is a handful no?" asked Jean-Luc.
"As you said before a real fire devil." Said Jack.
"But you mean that in a very loving way." Jack shook his head, " I do not Jean-Luc."
"A man like me doesn't deserve a girl like her. Besides she wouldn't want the kind of life I have to offer."
"A heart deserves what it wants. Besides you wouldn't know unless you asked. Monsieur William's wife doesn't seem to mind this life." He said nodding to Elizabeth and Will holding hands and seeing them Jack felt a tug in his heart.
"Also what is so bad about this life hmm? I am not thinking it is as bad as you think my friend." Jean-Luc slapped Jack on the shoulder and walked away.
"Damn to the depths with the French." Said Jack shaking his head.
-COUPLE OF DAYS LATER
- Jean-Luc and his crew's last night on the Pearl after the party they are going back to their ship the Slavagor
Cassandra took a breath and sat on a barrel next to Jean-Luc.
"I shall truly miss your company." Said Cassandra.
"It has been wonderful to have met you as well Mademoiselle Turner. I am sure however that Jack is making you feel at home so to speak."
"You are not like any pirate."
"I believe you are dancing around the subject Mademoiselle."
"I know, Mr. Sparrow is fine but I don't think he is liking me too much. I think he looks at me like a doll." Jean-Luc gave Cassandra a questioning look.
" He seems to think that if h touches me that I will breach. That is not true, I'm a lot less fragile then I look. It is just angering for me to have him treat me like that."
Cassandra let out a sigh, "Oh well I suppose he will always look at me that way. Dance with me?"
"How could I say no?" he asked holding out his hand. After a dance Samson came and cut in and Jean-Luc went and sat next to Jack.
"She thinks that you look at her as a porcline doll and that quote, 'if he touches me that he will break me.' End quote. That is what she thinks you think."
"I do not." Said Jack with a slightly guilty look on his face. "I know you to be a pirate and a good man not a liar Jack." Said Jean-Luc shaking his head.
"I'm not lying. I just don't know." Said Jack watching Cassandra laugh and dance with Samson. As Cassandra and Samson were about to pass by Jean-Luc 'accidentally' pushed Jack in front of Cassandra and Samson.
"Ah hello good sir." Cassandra said with a curtsied. Jack looked like he was going to kill Jean-Luc who was giving him an innocent grin.
Cassandra looked at Samson he smiles and nods his head, Cassandra turned back to Jack and held up her hands.
Jack took her hands and puts his other hand around Cassandra's waist and the two danced around the deck.
"I don't believe it would kill you to have some fun Mr. Sparrow."
"I don't suppose it would kill you to call me Jack."
"No I suppose not since you yelled it at me a couple of nights ago. I will call you Jack and you can call me Cass." Jack let out a snicker.
"And what is so funny about that name?"
"Nothing luv. But I thought that you said only Will could call you Cass."
"If you would rather call me Miss Turner…"
"Cass is fine." Said Jack in a rush.
Cassandra laughed, "You can call me Cassandra if that suits you better."
"Thank-you, I see that you and Samson are getting along well." Said Jack.
"Oh yes I've even been teaching him how to write and sign language."
"A literal pirate? Dear me soon you'll be teaching the whole crew."
" Not all of them just the chef, his helpers, Samson, that little boy always running around, the twins, that man who is always in the crows nest his name is blown from my mind at this moment, Mr. Gibbs, let's see who else oh, that terribly short man, and that man with the adorable parrot, and I do believe that is all of them." Said Cassandra smiling.
"Lass that sounds like the whole crew."
"Everyone except you, Will, Elizabeth and Landon. Oh yes and I have had some of the men from the Salvager come to some of the classes."
"Does Jean-Luc know?" asked Jack with raised brows.
"Oh yes in fact he made a few of his men come so that he said they could become literate seadogs. And who better then the angle of the Black Pearl?"
"Damn French." Muttered Jack.
"Jealous?"
"Well no but…"
"Jack! You've had the honor of my sister's presence to long." Said Will walking up to them.
"Well it's an honor I'd like to keep giving." Cassandra said smiling at Will.
Will looked at them and said, "Play nice and don't make me regret this." Will shook his head and walked away.
"Is it just me or is he actually trusting me alone with you?"
"He's trusting us luv." Said Jack with a small amount of disbelief in his voice, "Is that a good or bad thing luv?"
"Well we could be tempted to do well…do…"
"By god the smart mouth of the Turner family is too scared to talk about kissing."
"I am not." Cassandra said blushing, and looking down.
"Yes you are." grinned Jack accusingly as they walked away from the party.
"Am not." Said Cassandra with a pouty tone. She looked out over the ocean.
"I'll prove it." She murmured.
"What did you say?" asked Jack. A gunshot went off and there was screaming and yelling.
"What the…" Jack tapered off.
"What?" asked Cassandra.
"Cassandra go."
"But…"
"Cass go." Cassandra looked down and there were a pair of boots behind Jack.
"I love you Jack." Cassandra pulled Jack's head to hers and started kissing him. Then Cassandra jumped over the side of the ship pulling Jack with her into the freezing water.
