At World's End: Chapter 25

The little chat that Dani suggested did not go so well. In fact, she chased the four of them off of the island. Peisinoe wanted nothing to do with Jones or four of them. She stuck to her ground and refused to give in. She would rather see his head on a stake than come within ten miles of him.

The other sirens tried to continue cling to Jack and Will, but they saw the gun in Dani's belt and immediately moved away.

They got back to the ship while the rain had subsided, but too soon realized they were running out of food…and rum.

"The rum is gone!" Jack shouted when his crew had removed the wax from their ears. He noticed his crew looked a bit dizzy and nauseous.

"Cap'n! Would you mind holding still?" Pintel shouted, but he was the one moving about.

"Drunk, the whole lot of them," Will said as he looked around.

"There's only one good place for drunk pirates: Tortuga," Dani smiled. She loved Tortuga. Or rather, she loved causing fights there, it was so easy.

"Set course for Tortuga!" Jack shouted. He thought the short side trip would be good for morale. The crew was angry for a second that he had shouted, but eventually the message got across and they slowly tried to do their duties. However, the crew started to slowly pass out, one-by-one and Dani, Jack, Will and Elizabeth took over.

Tortuga was a mess. Craziness surrounded them the second they left the ship. And the craziest thing was the women.

Jack had forgot about Scarlet and Giselle, the "company" he kept while on the island.

"Who is she?" Scarlet screamed as she walked towards the group, amid all the other people screaming.

"I am his fiancée," Dani answered.

"Fiancée? Fiancée!" Giselle shouted. "Jack Sparrow would never marry someone. Especially someone as ugly as you!"

"Now, now, calm down," Will tried, and failed miserably. He ended up getting smacked hard across the face. This angered Elizabeth who slapped Giselle right back. Of course, being that she liked to fight, Dani slapped (well, more like punched) Scarlet right in the jaw. Scarlet was knocked onto the ground and immediately started shrieking about her dress.

"You'll pay for that, you bloody wench!" Scarlet yelled as she stood up and faced Dani.

During this, Will and Jack had moved back, out of the way. They were content to watch the show. That is until all four women stopped at yelled, "Jack!"

He looked for an escape route and found none. Jack had no other way to go but into the fight.

"Stop, stop!" Jack put his hands up.

He was then attacked by Scarlet and Giselle. Will fought his way back into the fight and eventually the two women were detained.

"Sorry ladies, Captain Jack Sparrow is a taken man."

Jack received two more slaps before the women left in a huff and then still one more from Dani for good measure.

And despite the pain he felt in his cheek and jaw, he wandered the whole night with a huge grin on his face.

"You know, you didn't deserve a fist fight in your honor," Dani told him as they walked down a deserted street. She reached over and poked him in the ribs, causing him to laugh.

"I will always deserve a fist fight. But I usually like to be on the outside, not in the middle."

"I would assume so. I, on the other hand, prefer to be the cause."

"Let's go collect William and Elizabeth, where did they say they were going?"

She turned around and looked back at where they had been. "I thought they were right behind us."

"No. That was hours ago."

"Where did we part company?"

"Back at the Green Man."

"You left them alone at the Green Man?"

The Green Man was a notorious pirate pub and boarding house, with rooms available for rent by the hour. And the owners didn't care whom they rented the rooms to, as long as they got paid. An almost-perfect hideaway for a couple. The rooms were always dirty and they were only semi-romantic. You would never know who was listening.

"Bugger." Was Jack's only answer to her question. He knew only too well what it was like up in those rooms. Jack had many a drunken one-night stand in those rooms with nameless women. He pondered for a moment about why Dani would know as well, but thought better not to ask right now.

Both Jack and Dani took off in the direction that they had come from, back towards the countless number of drunk people that populated Tortuga.

Apparently, the other couple had decided to take advantage of their rum-soaked brains and the private room. After all, it had a solid door and a large bed.

Jack and Dani began to ask around for them. When the bartender pointed upstairs, both looked at each other and panicked.

"Didn't you warn them about the dangers in Tortuga? Especially the boarding houses here?"

"I can't really remember. All recall is rum."

"Bugger." Dani said as they headed up the stairs. She knew anything or anyone could be in those rooms. And she didn't want Elizabeth and Will to do anything stupid.

As it turns out, Elizabeth and Will didn't do anything stupid. Both had passed out on the bed in a heap in the roach infested room. Jack made faces, tongue sticking out with disgust, as they tried to wake the unconscious couple.

"We can't leave them here," Dani told Jack, who was heading out the door.

"Well, they won't wake up. We'll go sleep on the ship and come back for them in the morning."

"Jack, they could be medical experiments in the morning, knowing the people of Tortuga."

"What do you suggest then, love? Carry them back to the ship?"

"Yes."

"No. You can't lift Mr. Turner, let alone carry him all the way to the ship."

"I will carry Elizabeth and you carry Will."

"Can we get some more rum and then move them?"

"No. Pick him up and let's go, savvy?"

Jack nodded to the only person who has ever been able to order him around and obediently picked Will up. Dani did the same with Elizabeth and they started to walk down the narrow wooden staircase at the back of the building.

It is a good thing that no one asks questions in Tortuga. And no one asks questions of what happens while in Tortuga. It is like, what happens in Tortuga, stays there. Jack and Dani didn't really want to know why the couple had been in that room. Nor did they care. So they carried them from the city onto the Rum and left them sleeping their drunkenness off in their cabin.

Jack and Dani retreated to their own cabin and prepared for bed.

"We start looking for Davy Jones tomorrow."

So what did you think? Did it suck? I hope not. It was sort of useless drabble. I don't like Elizabeth. She's such a whiner. Okay. Off topic. Review please!
