Author's notes – Wow. I'm at school now, and writing. Ok, BlueGlass25, I know you said the cussing made her more out of place, but here at school, we're not allowed to swear on the computers. Even though everyone here is like eleven or older, so obviously we're going to swear, but… meh. Thank you's to BlueGlass25, Amanda, animefangirl0001, Boogalaga, LoneFenix, missjackiesparrow, and today-sies! You all rock! And I'm glad to see you back, LoneFenix!
BlueGlass25, I'm glad you like regularity more than frequent. Thank you.
Disclaimer – Oh, come on! Do any of you really think I own anything?
OK, I own a half share in Rebecca, I own Daniel, Giles, Blue, Mandi, and three other girls. I do not own Jack, Will, Elizabeth Norrington, or Commodore Norrington. I'd love to own Will though.
Chapter Five – Who's the daddy? And Revelations
Rebecca walked out on deck with the other girls. Over the past hour, she'd had time to talk to them, and discover that they were all not at all happy about being sent to Europe.
She'd been talking to all of them, and Elizabeth most. 'What happened to make her leave Will?' Becca thought to herself often, but every time she tried to ask Elizabeth about it, Liz manoeuvred the conversation onto less personal things.
Becca had started to think that Will had cheated on her or something, but then she saw Liz look down her nose at Blue. 'Prissy… person. There isn't a word bad enough in the dictionary for her snobbiness, but when they invent it, that's what she is. She probably left him because he is a pirate-blacksmith. Snob.'
"Hi." A small voice said behind her. She turned to find Blue there, a hopeful look on her face. "I heard you putting Giles down. Most of these girls just submit to him because he is a male, and we're females. It's refreshing to hear someone not afraid of arguing with him."
"Why don't you fight back?" Becca asked.
"I only submit, or let him lay the rules because I'm afraid of confrontation." Blue replied.
"Well, if all these girls were to stop letting him lay down the law then they could be a fearful bunch. Their voices alone would scare the hell out of him."
They laughed, and Giles looked over to see what the fuss was about.
"Do you mind, new girl?" he called.
"No, not really. One, I have a name and if you had any sort of idea how much trouble I could cause for you, you would use it. And two, you've taken me from the only place in this mad world that I felt at least kinda safe. Don't you think I'm going to want to establish my surroundings, and learn to protect myself?"
The girls were all shocked.
"How can she even think about talking back to a man like that?" Elizabeth whispered to her neighbour. "Totally, utterly unthinkable!"
Rebecca shot a glare at Elizabeth. "I DARE, because I come from a place where men and women are equal. Neither one has to worry about the other being offended. Then again, with your 'poor little rich girl' act, I suppose you wouldn't know about standing up for yourself!"
"Excuse me, I was kidnapped by the pirates of The Black Pearl. I can take care of myself!"
"Yeah, but do you have to deal with drunks threatening you with knives every weekend? Do you have your parents leaving you at home on your own in the most dangerous area of your town? Do you get burglaries every week on your house? Do you have to sleep with a knife under your pillow, just in case?
"No? Then in my eyes, you cannot protect yourself, nor do you need to put me down because I can."
All the sailors were shocked after her outburst. Blue smiled, totally unafraid. 'Maybe I can get out of here. Becca can help me.'
"New girl!" Giles shouted. Becca ignored him. "NEW GIRL!" He yelled again.
Daniel stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Ow, darling, don't touch what you can't afford." Becca said, trying to pull away.
"I can afford a cheap two penny-"
She grabbed the front of his shirt. "If you do not want to lose your manhood, do not finish that sentence."
He smirked, and dragged her off to the brig.

"Daniel, why has Giles kidnapped all these girls?" Becca asked.
"I shouldn't really tell you…" he replied.
"Why not? Daniel, all I want to do is know. I'm not going to be able to stop him, I just wanna know."
He thought for a bit. It looked like it hurt. Finally, he said. "OK.
"He got into a lot of debt, borrowed a bit more money than he should have from a Frenchman. The girls, but not so much yourself, are all payment. He like his girls a bit younger, if you get my meaning."
"Why not so much myself?" Becca was confused. Didn't take much to do that.
In answer, he looked at her, and said, "You don't know why Jack Sparrow is so interested in you, do you?"
"No. It's been bothering me for a while, and I can't find the answer."
"He's your father. If I'm right in thinking, your mother was Maria Sparrow?" She didn't answer. "I was on The Black Pearl when they got married. She was beautiful. Then she got pregnant with you, and became even more beautiful.
"Then she found she was unhappy, and left. Jack spent years looking for her, but he never found her. You are the image of your mother, but with a few differences."
He finished speaking, and Becca was still raging inside. 'His DAUGHTER?! No, I can't be his daughter! I'm from the twenty- oh. Oh yes, I can. Stupid Becca, why didn't you remember about the stories mum told you when you were younger? She tried to kill herself, went into the past, and met a pirate. The "magic" happened, and out popped you. Why didn't you remember this before!?'
She heard a splash, which brought her out of her reverie. "Where are? We've dropped the anchor, so we must be at a port."
"Oh, it must be Chatham Dockyard. Yeah, we're stopping her on our way to- what's wrong?"
Becca had stood up very quickly. "Chatham? There's somewhere I need to go. I will come back, just give me a day."
"You can't go without an escort!" Daniel said.
"Fine then you can take me. Please?"

A/N – wow. Sorry everyone. This is being put up now, because last week, my floppy disc died. Sorry! Don't hurt me!
Please, Review!
