Up on the deck of the Pearl, all of the crewmembers were surrounded around the little trapdoor.

Mister Gibbs was the last one of them to make his way over towards the center of attention.

"Capin' Sparrow wha's goin' on down there?"

"Ana says she found two stowaways down in the cells."

"But I was down there yesterday doin' a routine check on supplies, and I didn't see anyone sir." Answered the confused old man as he rubbed his graying stubble that was starting to become a beard.

Captain Sparrow never took his eyes off the trapdoor, his mind was rushing trying to figure out who was these two stowaways were.

Suddenly the trapdoor swung open, all of the crew's eyes followed it as Gabrielle was the first one to step out.

Suddenly the whole ship was quiet and all eyes were on Gabrielle as she straightened her clothes.

She looked around, 'Well this do beat all.' "Hi." She said as she waved at them.

The confused pirates waved back even though they didn't know why they were.

Captain Sparrow came over to her.

Gabrielle was starting to freak out mentally 'oh my god, the actual Captain Jack Sparrow is coming over here. He's real, I'm real, and this is real. Man I wish someone would pinch me. No, come on get a grip Gab, okay, stop acting like a freak. Just be yourself.'

"Elizabeth what are ya doin' on tha Pearl, I thought ya were back in Port Royale wit' Will?"

Gabrielle's mind was racing trying to think of a good lie. 'Okay he thinks I'm Elizabeth Swann, actually a lot of people think I look like her. Okay calm down, I need to think of a lie pretty quick. Now why would Elizabeth Swann leave her man, and be on the black pearl? Money…no that wouldn't fly, she's got plenty of money…see new places…nope she's got enough money to do that too…come on think, think…' suddenly her eyes lit up, 'I've got it!'

"Well Captain Sparrow, I came onto the Pearl because…I wanted to show my best friend what the actual Pearl looked like, and I wanted her to meet the actual Captain Jack Sparrow."

Gabrielle saw a glint of something in his eyes, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"Well where's this so called friend of yas so she can meet Captain Jack Sparrow and crew?" Asked Captain Sparrow looking around for this mysterious girl who wanted to meet him.

"Sure one second, let me get her." Said Gabrielle as she walked over to the trapdoor.

She looked down and saw Catalina just standing down there.

"What are you doin' down there?" Asked Gabrielle.

"I don't know if I wanna come up."

"What do you mean? Come on up."

Catalina looked away for a minute before mummering, "I can't."

She looked back at the pirates who were looking at her expecting to see the girl.

She held up one finger, "Will you excuse me for a second?"

Gabrielle came back down the stairs, there was Catalina standing there in front of the stairs as if she was afraid that the stairs were going to attack her if she came near them.

"Cat what the hell is the matter with you?" Asked Gabrielle as she climbed back down the ladder.

"I don't know, I guess I'm afraid." Was all Catalina said as she kept looking at the ladder.

"Afraid of what? They're not gonna bite, all they wanna do is meet you." Explained Gabrielle.

Catalina bit her lip nervously, she didn't know why but she was shaking in her boots figuratively speaking to meet these people especially Captain Jack Sparrow.

Gabrielle sensed her nervousness and gently guided Catalina towards the stairs, "come on cat, there's nothing to worry about, if any of them give you a hard time, I'll take care of them."

The first thing the pirates saw was Catalina as her head popped out of the trapdoor.When she was completely out of the trapdoor, the pirates had gotten a good look at her and they couldn't keep their eyes off of her.

She kinda smirked at their actions as she helped Gabrielle up the ladder. Finally they helped Anamaria up the ladder.

Anamaria looked at the shocked faces of the pirates and smirked as she turned towards Catalina.

"I'd be afraid if I were ya, ya're the first beautiful woman they've seen on this ship in about 2 months."

Catalina didn't know what to make of what she had said, so all she said was "thank you?"

After staring at her for awhile, Jack came over to her. He didn't know why he had been staring at her, he had seen many attractive women before, but when he saw her, he just couldn't help but stare at her. He saw her creamy coffee skin as exotic which had always made him interested about girls with the same skin color. He liked the fact that she was a little tall, no more than 5'9'' tops. He also liked her unique clothing which showed off her curves very nicely, everything from her tight yellow Bob Marley t-shirt, to her tight blue jeans hugging her nicely rounded ass.

Catalina looked up and saw Jack walking over towards them.

"Like I said, don't be scared he won't bite." Whispered Gabrielle.

Catalina turned towards her, "Who said I was scared of him?"

"Ya have nothin' ta be scared of." Answered a voice making Catalina jump.

Gabrielle smiled and Jack smirked while Catalina tried to catch her breath.

"See even the captain agrees with me, don't you captain?" Asked Gabrielle

"Agree with what?" Asked the confused Captain.

"That's she has nothing to be scared of on this ship," she got close and whispered into his ear, "she's afraid that she's going to get hurt on this ship."

He looked at Catalina, "Miss...I'm sorry I didn't catch ya name."

"That's because I didn't give you my name." Answered Catalina smartly.

Jack chuckled, 'Please don't turn out like another Ana.' Prayed the captain mentally.

"Well me most sincere pardons Miss...I still don't know you're name."

"Well you won't get it until you ask nicely." Answered Catalina once again sarcastically.

"Well wha' is ya name?"

"It's Catalina."

"Wha' a lovely name." Remarked Captain Sparrow as he took Catalina's hand and kissed it.

Just before he kissed her hand, Catalina swore that she had seen a twinkle of excitement in his eyes.

'Oh great, now he's gonna try and flirt with me.' Thought Catalina with dread as she watched him bend down to kiss her hand.

As soon as his lips touched her hand though, Catalina was feeling another feeling. A warm feeling, the same feeling she had felt when she had known she liked Ari.

'Oh no.' Dreaded Catalina, even though her face didn't give her away,' Can't let him have any more physical contact with me unless it's necessary.'

"Well Miss Catalina, I can assure ya that no harm will befall ya on me ship." Promised the Captain.

But Catalina didn't believe him, "I can't trust you, you're a pirate."

"See that's where ya wrong luv, jus' because I'm a pirate that doesn't mean ya can't trust me."

Catalina looked at him with a incredulous look on her face, "What do you mean by that! Of course I can't trust you if you're a pirate, you lie, you cheat, you steal, you kill."

"Well underneath all of that, we 'ave our 'earts set in the right place."

"And what is the right place Captain Sparrow?"

"It's Captain luv...wait did you just call me captain?"

Catalina raised her eyebrows indiferrently, "yeah so?"

He was about to speak on it, but he decided not to, "neva mind, what was I sayin'?"

Gabrielle piped up, "I think you were about to explain to her about what your hearts are set in the right place for."

He turned towards Gabrielle, "Thank ya Elizabeth."

"No problem." Said Gabriellle.

He turned back towards Catalina, "Underneath it all, everyone wants ta have a little excitement in their lives. Without a lil' excitement, all life would be is birth, sex, and death; dull an' borin' if I do say so myself. Now we 'ave decided that we didn't want ta follow tha same cycle as everyone else, so we sought out excitement, and we gloried in it's triumphs and sorrowed in it's defeats. Now Miss Catalina, eitha ya can give inta ya excitement an' trust me, or ya can just decide ta live a excitementless life an' then we let ya off an' ya'll neva have ta see us again, tha choice is yas."

Catalina and Gabrielle stared at him with disbelief on their faces.

"Oh my god, that was...that was...amazing! I never..." catalina tried to speak, but she found herself speechless.

"Expected something like that to come from him?" Offered Anamaria.

"Exactly." Said Catalina.

"Well you've underestimated the wisdom of the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow." Piped up Gabrielle once again resulting in a laugh from Catalina and Anamaria.

Then Catalina focused her attention on Captain Sparrow, "alright Captain Sparrow, I'll trust you."

The Captain smirked his famous Jack Sparrow smirk, "well welcome ta the Black Pearl luv."
