Chapter 1

Aboard the Black Pearl Mr. Gibbs was telling a tale about a ship:

"The Pure Rose is known to be one of the best ships on the seas, second only to the Pearl. It is said to be crewed by women and only women and the captain may even be crazier than Jack."

At that exact moment aboard the Pure Rose I, Captain Jolene, felt something brewing inside me, some unrestlessness. Don't get me wrong I loved being captain and being a pirate but something is growing. And I even love the freedom of the sea yet something was missing.

"Jo, there is a ship ahead. What be our course?" inquired Cassandra Monserat, my best friend and first mate. I had to think for a minute. Maybe a good fight would help the unresslessness...

"Attack head on; I feel the need for a good fight." At that the entire crew cheered because we hadn't looted another ship in forever. We loaded the cannons and prepared for the fight. But as the Rose got closer I caught sight of which the other ship belonged to… The Royal Navy, the ship was the Dauntless.

"Andi come here we need some quick thinking. We are soo screwed. Well mainly me, but still. Okay here's what we'll do. We pretend to be captives and when they get here they will take us onboard there ship and we will be able to attack from the inside. Oh, and take this note read it when we get on their ship."

Andi gave me the usual you are totally crazy look, but then finally sighed in defeat. I knew what she'd say next. The same thing she always said, and I didn't exactly want to here it. However, I felt if I didn't, we'd surely be jinxed or something.

"Fine, we go with your plan, but I doubt it will work, its crazy. Then again, all of your plans work perfectly, even improved ones. So, get tied up?"

"But of course. We will be captives over there at the mast. And my plans aren't crazy! They are well thought out and intelligent. So let's get tied up"

I was looking forward to this. My most brilliant plan yet! Andi may not think much of the plans but still there was nothing wrong with them they always worked. So I tied myself and Andi up then made an escape to hide from capture so everything would fall into place.

Since the fighting had just started it took me a bit to realize that Jo was gone and she was being watched by the Commodore. I realized this is my cue and broke out into hysterics figuring that would best dup the man. And as predicted the Commodore fell for the little ruse. Once I gained my footing on the new ship I read the paper that Jo had given me hoping to know the rest of the plan.

Andi,

Release the crew and arm them. Then

attack from the inside when they least

suspect. I'm right behind ye so wait for

The Signal.

-Jolene, Captain Jolene

Typical Jolene not letting it be forgotten she was Captain. Time to get everything set for when Jo gives the signal I guess. Let's go dup the Commodore to find the location of some weapons for the crew. As I walked up on the Commodore I heard one of the men say that a ship crewed by women was no harm to anyone. I mentally marked who the man was so he could pay later. Then sweetly I begged for a tour of the 'boat'. How revolting to call it that.

As the tour went on I noted everything, the weapons, the brig, EVERYTHING. So that I could arm the crew at night successfully and tell them the plan of our Captain's since they were in the dark. Yet during the tour I noticed something. Our Commodore had the potential to be a pirate; after all he was obsessed with treasure.

"Commodore…Norrington is it?" He nodded and turned his attention to me. "If you don't mind my asking, are you wearing a wig?" He rolled his eyes; I could tell he wasn't a terribly patient man.

"Indeed, it is." He turned to continue the tour, but I just couldn't help myself. I thought he had some form of pirate potential, but not if his hair actually looked like that. I sprang forward and pulled the wig off. "Excuse me! What was that?" He started out yelling, but his voice softened as he turned to look at me. Why? Because I was staring. A lot. He had ear length, deep brown hair and seeing that somehow completely transformed him. Now I could REALLY see the pirate potential.

"Have you ever considered being a pirate?"

"I beg your pardon?" He grabbed at the wig, but I moved it away.

"You heard me. I think you'd make a decent pirate."

"I sailed under a pirate flag once and it is not an experience I wish to repeat."

"Ah, but you weren't sailing with a crew of women," I said sickeningly sweetly, smiling mischievously and walking a circle around him, wig still out of his reach.

"And why would I want to?"

"You're just still sore about losing what's her name. Elizabeth was it? To that Will Turner." He glared at me and I knew I had hit a nerve. I had been acting extremely sweet and he had almost seemed to be giving in, but at this point I couldn't help myself anymore. "Ha, sucks to be you!" I plopped the wig back on his head and turned around to walk back above deck. I could feel his eyes following me and wondered distantly if Jo would mind having a previous Commodore in her crew.
