P.S. for Jeanne: You probably will find this chapter boring since you're not in it. Ye be warned!

Just like the high school hallways Melissa was thinking. She had shoved her way to the bar and was making her way back to the table when she slipped on some sort of spilt liquor. Fortunately she was able to regain her balance before she fell and split her drink.

"What now bitches? I've got mad skillz." Melissa said triumphantly.

Although her celebration was short-lived you see it would seem that she was not the only one who had slipped for she was soon pushed backwards by a stumbling strumpet. She landed on something… soft she looked up to see the face of a bear of a man.

"Not good." She said quietly. She tried to remove herself from the burly man's lap but he held her back.

"Now, now girlie not so fast. How do you expect to make any money when ye be running away from all of yer customers?" he said in a drunken slur.

Oh snap he didn't just call me a whore didn't he?

"Back off mountain man! I know someone who knows how to castrate a cow and I'm sure she could do it to a human too!" she said trying her best to be intimidating.

Trying her best to struggle away from the man's death-grip she tried to hit him with the mug seeing as she was unarmed. This caused a bit of a problem because the mug never found its target instead it found another mans head instead.

"What the?" she could hear the other man shout.

It would seem Melissa was on her way to starting a genuine bar fight. Feeling the man who was holding her swing her over his shoulder when he got up she decided that perhaps she needed some help.

"JACK SPARROW! FRONT AND CENTER! BE HELPFUL FOR ONCE AND HELP ME OUT HERE!" Melissa bellowed as loud as she could. She doubted anyone could hear her over the racket of the bar fight but was proven wrong when her hero showed up to save the day. Being saved by a pirate is sort of ironic isn't it? Melissa thought.

"That's Captain!" he yelled announcing his presence.

"Shut your noisemaker and help me out you arrogant ass!" Melissa screamed. By this time the man was coming ever closer to the door and she was becoming quite distressed.

"You've gotten yourself in quite a predicament there haven't you lass." He said with a smirk.

"Oh just stop with the banter and help me out!"

"Oy what's all this screamin' about now?" the behemoth of a man said as he turned around to face Jack.

Melissa sighed, still struggling to get out of the man's grasp. Even more so the only thing she could see now was the wall since the man had turned to face Jack. He better have a good plan or else she thought.

"It seems you have something there that belongs to me, mate." Jack said pointing to Melissa.

Great, she thought frustrated as she tried to blow the strand of hair out of her face, now two people own me.

"She must have had too much to drink and forgotten that I already paid for her company for the night." Jack lied.

Oh lovely now, make it sound like I am an alcoholic whore why don't ya! She thought furiously. She was about to yell at Jack that this wasn't helping when she felt the giant man release her. Oh how wonderful it was to be back on ones feet!

The man looked at Jack then Melissa then back again, seemingly trying to decide if this was worth fighting over. Apparently he chose against it when he backed off a couple of feet.

"You're a diamond mate!" The Captain said as he threw his arm about her. Melissa was fairly taken aback by this and was dumbfounded. "Now if you'll excuse us." He said with that lopsided grin pushing past the mountain man and escorting her away.

Once they had gotten upstairs and away from the overgrown man Melissa barked "Hands off trespasser!"

"Apologies love." He said mockingly while removing his arm from around her waist. "But I do believe that youre indebted to me now so I would not suggest that you keep yellin'.

"And how exactly am I so indebted to you?" she said being her usual smart-ass self.

"Well maybe because I saved you from that ungodly man and in the process you scared off of me company so unfortunately some of tonight's plans were ruined thanks to ye missy. Now if ya please I believe you know something about a certain Davy Jones that I would be more than happy to know also" He said motioning with his arms to the open door.

Giving him a look like a will set you ablaze right now she walked through the door. But right when she passed by the Captain she felt a hand slap her rump.

"Why does every man on this godforsaken earth have an infatuation with my ass?" Melissa hollered.

"I was only curious." Jack said with that devilish grin of his.
