Disclaimer: I don't own PotC nor do I own the pirate song, however I did get a cool Captain Jack Sparrow light up pen for my birthday!
Erin's POVErin looked around as she and Jack walked from the hidden beach towards the town. Kings Cove looked very much like Port Royal, except it had a few pirates walking around.
"Finally!" Erin practically shouted. "Civilization!"
"And what do ye call Tortuga?" Jack asked jokingly. Erin thought for a moment.
"Un-civilization," she giggled.
The two walked into the local tavern. There they saw Gibbs dozing alone with an empty mug in his hands.
"Gibbs," Jack said loudly as they came up behind the sleeping man. Gibbs fell to the ground after his captain's loud wake up call.
"Jack?" Gibbs asked as he tried to focus his eyes. "What are you doing here?" Gibbs glanced at Erin.
"Ah," Jack said, "Mr. Gibbs, ye remember the eunuch's sister, eh?"
Gibbs nodded. "Aye. Nice t' see ye 'gain lass." Erin smiled as Jack continued.
"To leave bloody Port Royal, Erin will be accompanying us on a little adventure."
"And what kind of adventure might that be, Captain Sparrow?" Erin asked crossing her arms across her chest.
Jack ordered three drinks as the other two sat down. "We are going after this," he said taking a drink as he placed the Hand of Midas cloth on the table. Gibbs' eyebrows rose with interest as Erin stared at the cloth blankly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Oh my goodness!" she said feigning interest. "Wow! Amazing! Stupendous! What is it?"
Jack chuckled to himself. "That there is the Hand of Midas. Everything it touches turns to gold." This time Erin's eyes lit up for real as Gibbs began to speak.
"Jack, this isn't jus' a fool's errand is it? I mean you do actually know where it is righ'?"
"Aye, I know where 'tis, bu' I don't think it'd be wise to go shoutin' it's location in a tavern full of filthy pirates, savvy?" Erin and Gibbs looked at each other with confused expressions.
"Jack," Erin started, "what's the reason for going after this? Is it just a spur of the moment adventure?"
She saw Jack shift uncomfortably in his seat before clearing his throat. "There's no specific reason. Just that I've been thinkin' about it and it's high time I actually go. Plus, I think it's my duty."
"Aye, Captain," Gibbs said. "When do we leave?"
Jack thought for a minute. "Hmm, well we need to stock up on some things. So we'll make it, the afternoon after tomorrow."
oOoOoOoOoOo
It was the night before Captain Jack Sparrow was due to set out on his adventure. Erin and Jack were sitting on the hidden beach.
"This is perfect," Erin said gesturing to the sea and starlit sky.
"Almost, luv," Jack replied as he pulled some rum bottles out of nowhere. "Now it is." Erin took the rum hesitantly. "Luv, what's wrong?"
"I've had drinks before but never rum. Will made sure I didn't."
"Trust me, it'll be fine. Even Elizabeth's had rum, before she burned it," Jack said muttering the last part to himself. Erin grabbed the bottle of rum. She took a swig and coughed before smiling. Jack laughed to himself. "Ye'll get used to it."
oOoOoOoOoOo
About an hour and five bottles of rum each later.
Erin and Jack were dancing around a small fire singing.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're rascals, scoundrels, villains, and knaves,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Jack sat down next to the fire as Erin sat next to him. "Ye know," Jack said, slurring his words, "this scene seems familiar. Jus' don' burn the rum."
Erin laughed as she swayed back and forth. "Aye, Captain." The two burst out laughing.
But then, from out of the trees walked Commodore Norrington.
"Sparrow," Norrington said loudly, "the fun is over. Miss Turner, I've come to take you away from this pirate." Jack and Erin stood up.
"Erin, look, luv," Jack said laughing. "It's Nommodore Corrington!" Erin tripped as she walked towards Norrington.
"Sparrow, you got her drunk!"
" 'ey look, Jack," Erin said slurring her words, " 's ol' Norri come 'ere t' spoil the fun."
Norrington sighed. "Miss Turner, come with me. I'll take you back to Port Royal, away from this pirate." Suddenly, Erin snatched his hat and placed it on her head.
"I'm ol' Commodore Norri," she said mocking him with a fake salute, " 'ere t' ruin the fun with me unfun-ness!" Jack looked as though he was about to pass out as he stumbled around laughing.
Erin laughed as Jack actually passed out. Finally having enough, Norrington took out his sword and hit Erin in the head with the hilt, knocking her out.
"Miss Turner, you will learn to obey authority, even if it means learning the hard way." With that Norrington picked up Erin and carried her to the Dauntless.
