Gabriella grabbed a clump of wet hair and began attempting to ring it out.
"So, ye decided to join the crew after all, did ya?" Said Jack, a look of victory obvious on his handsome features.
Gabriella grinned at him. "No Jack, I just felt like going for a swim," She said sarcastically.
"God, I'm freezing!" She cried out, giving her cloths a good brush, attempting to get at least a small amount of water out.
"Right," Said Jack, getting the hint "follow me," he guided her down to his cabin.
"Ere ya are, love," Jack handed her a pair of breaches, a white shirt, boots, and a leather vest. "This should work."
"Thank you Jack," She took the cloths from his hands and turned to get changed. She was just getting ready to take of her soaping blouse when she realized she hadn't herd the door close. She hadn't even herd it open.
"Uh, Jack?"
"Yes"
"Do you think you could maybe…?"
"Oh, right"
Jack stepped out of his cabin, his cheeks, surprisingly, a shade redder then before.
Gabriella quickly began getting changed. The cloths were a bit baggy on her but she didn't mind, they covered enough. She took a moment before leaving to look around Jack's cabin.
His bed was rather large and the sheets were a deep, slightly damp, maroon. His desk was littered with maps, and other trinkets, along with several golden rings and shillings. She slowly sat down in the seat behind his desk and lifted up one of the maps, when something underneath it coat her eye.
It was a large, round, silver locket. She reached down and lifted it up, examining it carefully. Slowly she opened it with a small click. Inside was a picture of a beautiful woman, and a handsome young man. She could only assume that these people were, his parents, as she had never met them herself.
She knew there was a story there, somewhere, and curiosity was getting the best of her.
"Gabby?"
Gabriella quickly closed the locket and put it back under the map as Jack slowly opened the door. "There ya are love, I thought you had died!" Said Jack remarking at how long it had taken her. "Of cores ya are a woman, I couldn't expect much less"
Gabriella stood up. "Right, so what's the plan…and by the way I know absolutely nothing about being on a ship." She said quickly walking out the door as Jack held it open for her. "Oh, do we have our work cut out for us".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabriella stood breathing hard, a wooden rod held out defensively in front of her.
"Well love, you're improving quickly, but you're still no mach for old cap'n Jack!" He said proudly while standing a head taller then her.
"Don't rub it in," snapped Gabriella slightly annoyed at the fact, that she was completely out of breath, and he was only breathing a fragment harder then he usually did.
She took another swipe with her "sword" and Jack coat it with his own. She tried the same tactic once again, but only to have the same response.
She let out a heavy sigh of agitation. This time she took a swipe over his head and Jack was coat a bit off guard she continued making the quick jabs until finally she managed to corner him.
Jack looked at her a little surprised. "To mach huh?" she said pulling away from him and walking to the center floor. Jack followed suit and held up his sword. "Again".
Gabriella grinned. "Of coarse," She said simply lifting her own sword and putting it against Jacks. He made the first move this time. He made a move at Gabriella's side and she just barely managed to block it.
She made a quick swipe for his leg. Jack jumped and the sword went right under him. He made a quick turn and grabbed Gabriella's sword before forcing her against the wall.
"You cheated!" she cried angrily trying to push him away but failing. "Pirate!" he said simply grinning at her. There faces were only centimeters apart.
Jack continued to hold her sword pressing her against the wall as he stared into her angry face. "Can't handle loosing to, 'ol Jack can you?" He said smirking down at her.
Gabriella was about to respond when Gibbs came running down the steps. "Cap'n! There's a ship right on our tail and-" he stopped when he saw the position that him and Gabriella were in.
"Frightfully sorry cap'n didn't mean to interrupt," he said grinning down at them.
Jack quickly let go of Gabriella and past Gibbs up onto the deck. Gibbs smirked down at Gabriella. "It was nothing," she said dropping her wooden stick and following Jack up onto the deck. "Of coarse not," Said Gibbs still grinning as he climbed up the steps.
Gabriella shielded her eyes as she entered the deck of the ship. She looked around and saw the crew all just standing there, doing absolutely nothing. She had never before seen the crew in quite a state before she turned around and looked to the other side of the ship.
"Oh, shit" She said now seeing the large ship that was coming in close. It was a navy ship, you could tell by its flags, along with the men on deck wearing bright red vests.
She jumped slightly as she felt a hand clasp her shoulder but relaxed when she realized it was only Jack. "Ever shot one oh these befo'?" He asked holding a pistol in front of her. She stared at it for a moment before shaking her head.
"Well there's a first for every thing, now might be a good time." He said grinning at her. "Just pull the trigger and your good to go, love," He said placing it in her hand before turning and walking away.
"But…" she trailed off examining the gun. It seemed easy enough.
She clasped her finger around the trigger and held it up at if to shoot some one. She was truly only going to practice but curiosity got the best of her. BANG! She pulled the trigger and sent a bullet soaring through the air.
It would have been a really good shot, if it weren't for the fact that it hit out of the crewmembers on the navy ship, making it look like they were attaching.
