Bugger

Jack Sparrow snores loudly. He has ever since his was a boy. Why should this matter? Because that was the sound that was in Gabrielle's ear. That was the sound that woke her up. She turned so fast that she knocked Jack out of the bed and onto the floor waking him up.

"Aye, a vast," Jack yelled then realized where he was and what had happened. "Bugger."

"What…how….why was you…how did I…" she couldn't complete a thought.

"Yes, I slept well how about you, love?"

She stopped trying to think and smiled. "Ah," Jack continued as he crawled back beside her. "I see you did too."

"You didn't…"

"No."

"But you could've…"

"Yes, but trust me, poppet, it is much more enjoyable if both members of the company know what is going on," he said, with a sudden stop when Gabrielle's mouth caught his.

"You taste good," she replied after they parted.

"Aye, as do you," he grinned before capturing her right back.

Something must have transferred between Jack and Gabrielle, because as they kissed each other deeper each time, voices started to cloud up his head. Gabrielle knew what they were saying, as she tried to ignore them.

"Don't listen," she gasped once Jack let go. Tears started to well in her eyes.

"Breezy," he asked, wiping one tear that escaped.

"Just a moment longer," she almost crushed Jack to her. Gabrielle was granted exactly one moment before Jack could make out the voices in his head.

(in both's heads) "This is it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Smells like Apples! Aye we're here."

"Will, Miss Elizabeth, are you ready? Only God knows where Jack is in

there."

They both parted knowing exactly what just transpired. Jack got off the bed, while Gabrielle wiped her face.

"Bugger," She said with a laugh. She got off the bed and when to the back of the room. She touched the wall to reveal an opening which she disappeared into. Jack did not follow her. He was still trying to figure out what just happened. When she returned, Jack turned to see in her hands his effects and his hat.

"Breezy?"

"You have been found, Captain Jack Sparrow."

Jack did not make a move for his personnel belongings; they seemed almost foreign to him. When he did not take them, Gabrielle proceeded to place them on his person, starting with his hat. Jack noticed she had the same emotionless face she had the first time he saw her. Once his effects were in their proper place, Gabrielle opened the door and Jack followed behind her. She stopped at certain point in the main corridor and Jack did the same.

"Go back the way you came, Jack Sparrow. And remember not to look back or you will lose your second chance." She stepped to face him and raised her thumb up to his forehead. He felt it create the slash on his forehead that was given to Timothy just the day before. Her emotionless face broke a moment. "Jack, I've done something terrible."

Jack grinned, "What, fallen in love with me." He didn't realize that his joke hit Gabrielle hard. "Well, I'll just have to come back and find you won't I."

Gabrielle smiled weakly. "Jack, you can't come back but once more, and when you do it will be to walk through the door."

"There must be…"

"They are almost here, Captain. Best not keep them waiting." Jack didn't know how to respond. "Remember, don't look back, Captain Sparrow. Always forward." she frowned.

Jack slipped behind her before moving forward. He kissed the back of her head and inhaled deeply. He then moved in front of her and walked back the way he came.

"Jack," Will yelled.

"Aye, Young William, It is me."

Gibbs joined in, "Captain! You are a sight! Can't help to think this should have been harder though." Elizabeth kept to the background of this.

Jack's mind whirled. "It isn't like you haven't seen be in years."

Elizabeth chimed in, "But Jack, We haven't."
