A/N: I'm REALLY sorry I haven't updated for AGES, it's because I had exams and then I went away and loads of other things kept coming up, so sorry!!!

Larky: Ouch! That hurt!!! I didn't use 'here' in the wrong way. I checked. And I know that I shouldn't use 'house' twice in the same sentence, but I was writing quickly and I didn't notice till after I posted it and I can't be bothered to change it, savvy? On a better note: YAY!!! You reviewed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kess: Streak is NOT a Mary-Sue. I hate them and would never use them. She is a pirate. Ever heard of a pirate being perfect (apart from Jack, lol)? No. Exactly.

Thanks to all my LOVELY reviewers (except Kess, lol) you really make my day. If you want something to happen, just tell me, and I'll see what I can do. If the plot gets a bit thin, let me know with some more ideas, savvy?

Jack woke to find Streak gone. He groaned; he must have dozed off, something he didn't intend to do. He straightened his hat on his head and climbed up to the deck.

"Gibbs, go 'ave a rest. I'll take the wheel fer now."

"Aye," Gibbs called back. In a lower voice, he asked, "How's the lady? Doesn't really seem yer type."

"No, she ain't. I'm just curious 'cause she reminds me of a girl I used to know. Lilac. God she was beautiful. Left her to become a pirate. I still regret it in a way."

Gibbs didn't coax him to continue; Jack rarely spoke of his past, and when he did, you didn't ask questions. When Jack didn't continue, Gibbs left to see about some breakfast, as the cook was ill with a cold.

'Where the hell are ye?' Jack muttered as he took hold of the wheel.

Streak stood in the crow's nest looking out to sea. Her hair fell loose from its ribbon and played in the soft Caribbean breeze. Someone called up to her making her lose her balance. She growled a curse and, sword in hand, grabbed a rope and swung down on deck, placing her weapon at the throat of the man who had startled her.

It was Aaron.

"How dare ye threaten me you ungrateful bitch," he snarled.

"I dare threaten ye, Aaron, because in case ye be havin' trouble rememberin', ye threatened me with me life."

The crew crowded round, interested.

"And how, may I ask, am I in any way ungrateful?" she spat.

"I offered ye everything and ye turned me down. Ye turned me down fer that scallywag Jack – may he burn in hell."

"How dare ye insult Jack," Streak's eyes were burning with rage.

"Why bother stickin' up fer 'im? Ye'll ne'er see 'im again. 'E's probably dead by now anyway."

That was more than she could take. Streak lunged at Aaron, catching him unawares and slicing his chest. He fell to the ground gasping for air. The crew stepped forward, not liking the girl's behaviour.

"Stay back," she warned, "he deserves it. If ye knew what he'd done ter me, ye'd think so too," she paused, knowing that no crew will act pleasurably towards someone who attacks another crew member for seemingly no reason, "if he ain't dead in 'alf an hour, ye can do what ye will with 'im."

Jack listened with interest as Aaron and Streak bickered. It was only when he realised that Streak had cheated, and attacked Aaron that he smiled. She had pirate blood, alright. It was just a matter of waiting for the right time and place to tell her. As Streak defended him, his conscience battled inside him as to whether he should let her know who he really was.

"Captain?"

Jack turned at the gentle voice behind him. He saw Streak, dressed, for once, in a skirt and loose-fitting shirt. Her hair was loose, and in the slowly darkening sky, he knew that he still loved her, after all these years.

"Lily..." he whispered before he realised what he'd said.

"Lily..." she repeated slowly, "it's been a long time since anyone called me that. How d'ye know my na-" she trailed off as she realised.

"Lily, I was stupid to leave ye, and I knew it, yet I still left. I'll understand if ye want ter leave."

"Jack, I forgive you."

Those three simple words rendered Jack speechless.

"Ye – ye do?"

"Aye, o' course Jack. I loved ye then an' I love ye still. How could I not?"

"Lily..." was all that he could say.

She ran to him and he folded her into his arms, never wanting to let her go again.

"Stay with me Lily?"

He knew the answer as she pressed her lips against his, and he responded without a second thought.

"Come to my cabin, Lily," he broke the kiss to ask her what he'd wanted to ask her ever since he'd met her.

"Jack..."

"If ye don't want ter take it further, that's fine. I'm here waiting."

"No, Jack, I was just thinkin' how much ye've changed. Before it was always me leading you on ... now it's the other way round."

"The sea does a lot for one's confidence, luv."

"I know. I can't believe I've found ye."

"Me neither, luv, me neither."

"Now, I believe we were on the way ter yer cabin...?"

"Aye, luv, I believe we were."

A/N: I know it's a bit shorter than usual, but I figured it was a good place to stop. D'ye think I should have kept Jack's identity secret for longer? I just wanted 'em to get together!!!

About 3 days ago, I was standing on the edge of England looking out to sea, wondering where the hell Jack was lol!!!
