"The one and only" Jack said while grinning. Jessie just stared wide-eyed at Jack, she was dripping wet and strongly smelt like rum, but she was being handled like she was part of the British Navy, but if anybody had there eyes open she clearly looked like a pirate. "You smell like rum" Jack said. Pintel and Ragetti turned there heads toward Jessie and obviously sniffed her. "Aye" they both said to Jack. Jack didn't have time to chat; he needed his rum, he wasn't feeling right. Or, more accurately, he was feeling right. "Gather all the rum!" was Jack's first and most important command. "Then off to the Pearl" Jack finished. He walked back to his ship, signaling with odd hand gestures for Jessie to follow. Pintel and Ragetti let go of Jessie and, Jessie followed Jack. Once back on his ship Jack spun around and looked at Jessie, who he found somewhat familiar looking. "What's your…" Jack used some odd hand gestures then continued, "…name?" Jessie looked at Jack, like she had expected more from him and then went back to herself. "Jessie" she replied simply. "Full name" Jack said pointing at Jessie a couple times. "Jessica Ann Spare" she said looking at Jack. "SPARE?" he yelled quite loudly. "It's not me real last name, I was just raised thinkin' I was a Spare" Jessie said, raising an eyebrow at Jack. "Oh…" Jack said and his eyes followed a barrel of rum carried by Ragetti who was passing him. He put his hand out in front of him a few times and then followed the rum. Jessie just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
Jack got two mugs and filled them from the barrel Ragetti had carried over. He then returned to Jessie, who was still just standing there, tapping her foot lightly on the wood deck. "Rum?" he asked Jessie. Jessie looked at the mug for a second then grabbed it from his hand. Jack was already gulping down the rum eagerly before Jessie had even taken the second mug from his hand. She then took a swig of it, not knowing what to expect. But she was pleasantly surprised. She then took another swig, and another, and another. Until she was just gulping the whole thing down like Jack. Jack had just finished his share when he saw Jessie just gulping it down like a camel would water. "More?" he offered when Jessie finished hers. "Aye Cap'n" she said and grinned. "Already making yourself at home I see" Jack said, walking his famous walk back to the rum. He came back, the mugs filled again. "But can you sail under the command of a pirate? Or can you not?" Jack said looking at Jessie. "I'm a bloody pirate meself, wha' ye expect me to be? A sea turtle?" Jessie said, snatching another mug of rum out of Jack's hands. "A sea turtle…" Jack mumbled like he was committing it to memory for future us. Jack and Jessie both swigged down their rum while Pintel and Ragetti stopped and stared at the two. "That's what I call ironic," Pintel said. "Aye" Ragetti said quietly and then the two moved on. Jack seemed to have enough rum for the moment, and watched as Jessie finished off her rum. She seems familiar, Jack thought. Quite like myself actually.
"You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?" Jack asked.
"No, I'm not ta exactly what you may call experienced in pirating." Jessie answered.
"Oh…" Jack said. And then it hit him. "Little Missy…" Jack started but Jessie cut in. "Jessie" she said.
"Jessie, luv, what be your name again?"
"Jessica Ann Spare" Jessie said slightly impatient, she was starting to wonder if he was up to something.
"Spare…" Jack said in thought, he was obviously thinking quite hard. Spare, Spare, Spare…. Sounds so familiar, yet doesn't ring any bells. Jack thought. "Welcome aboard the Black Pearl,luv." He finally said. Just then Barbossa walked up to Jack, "All the rums aboard" he said and then looked at Jessie. "Who's the wench?" he asked curiously. "First, I be nay a wench. Secondly, me name be Jessie, ye bilge rat who deserves the black spot" Jessie said brutally and took a step closer to Barbossa. "Okay then, I guess ye'd be a pirate" Barbossa said taking a step back from the angry teenager. "O' course" Jessie replied and took a step back herself; she already got over the wench comment. " Now make yerself useful, get workin'! Swab the decks." Barbossa said with a smirk. "Aye" Jessie responded with a slight frown. "Ye bilge rat," she then mumbled under her breath.
The ship then suddenly started rocking violently back and forth and Jessie ran to the side of the Black Pearl and looked over the edge. She saw a large creature swim right under the ship and then disappear. Jack yelled to one of his crew members in the crow's nest, but didn't hear anything back. He was obviously asleep, although Jack had no idea how he could stay that way with the ship rocking so violently back and forth. Then, like a cannonball being shot out from under the sea a humongous, and ugly, sea serpent shot up from under the ocean. "Oh bugger" both Jessie and Jack said at the same time. But neither of them noticed, Jessie and Jack both were staring at said terrible beastie. "'Ello Beastie" Jack said, but mumbled "Not again" under his breath. "I really, really, really hate beasties," he said in a borderline normal and cowardly tone. Jessie, though not knowing an extraordinarily amount of information about sea serpents, thought this would be an excellent time to show Jack she could do better then just swab the decks. She unsheathed her sword and looked up at the sea serpent, which was trying to crash its huge body onto the Pearl. Jack didn't even notice what Jessie was doing, he was just trying to find a place to hide. He had fought a beast almost exactly like this one, when about Jessie's age too. He didn't find it necessary to do it again. But Barbossa sure noticed Jessie, "What are you doin"? He said loudly, trying to be heard over the waves crashing onto the ship and the roar of the beast. Jessie heard him, but didn't take much notice. "I know what I be doing" she yelled, I have no idea what I'm doing, Jessie thought to herself.
The sea serpent was about to attempt to crash down on the Pearl again, since it had missed a couple times already when Jessie jumped into it's mouth, fortunately missing the large and extremely sharp teeth and just going straight to it's exceptionally long throat. She pushed her sword up through the serpent's body and it's thick skin and while Jessie slid through the serpent, she sliced its body open. Though Jessie had slight difficulty holding onto the sword, she had time to yell "Ewwww SO gross" as she saw the green slime she was sliding down with. Soon the beast grew limp and crashed down into the ocean, and bluish guts covered in dark blood spilt from the sea serpents body. And with the carcass of the beast laying, now dead, in the ocean, the violent waves diminished and everything was still. Jack came out of his hiding spot from behind the stairs and looked at the mighty beastie. Barbossa was stunned to se such an act of bravery from a 'kid' who wasn't even really a crew member yet. Just when everyone thought Jessie was dead, up came a head from beneath the surface. And Jessie emerged with sword in hand, "Sorry I tookst so long, I had t' get me sword from the bottom o' the ocean" she explained quickly because she was out of breath. She swam slowly towards the Black Pearl and climbed back aboard with the help of Pintel and Ragetti.
