Claire cautiously started to walk up the gangplank, while Emily strided confidently past her.

"Claire, it's just a boat," Emily said simply. She was very confident with her real father, on the other hand, Claire was a bit shy.

"Not only a boat, love, a way of life!" Jack said as Emily gazed upon the Caribbean Sea. Claire was finally on deck and shrunk near Emily.

"Maybe this isn't a good idea," Claire said worriedly. Emily sighed.

"Claire, don't chicken out now, dad is to fun to leave behind!" She laughed as she waved to Jack across the deck. He just smiled.

"Is he going to let us get a pet?" Claire asked anxiously, trying to change the subject.

"Why don't you ask?" Emily said as she planted a wry smile on her face.

"I will," Claire responded.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Emily said as she pushed Claire up the helm, "Do it!"

Jack turned around to find Claire right there in front of him, and Emily was behind Jack. She stifled a smile, and began to talk.

"Emily was wondering if..." Claire started to say but Emily was waving her arms and mouthing "no."

"If what?" Jack asked. Emily smacked her forehead and walked away.

"Uh...um...nothing!" Claire said nervously and walked away. Emily was glaring at her.

"All you had to do is ask! Like that's not hard enough!" Emily yelled. She stormed up the helm.

"What are you doing?" Claire panicked. She ran after her.

"Something you can't," Emily said as she tapped Jack on the shoulder.

"What is it, darling?" He asked. Emily put on her puppy dog face, and clasped her hands together.

"I think I might have to sit down for this," He winced.

"Claire and I were wondering if we could have a pet," Emily whined.

"Of course, one more animal to put up with, just add more insanity on my part," He said.

"But Dad! What is to happen if Claire and I are to keep underfoot, and have nothing to do?" She whined even more.

"Grab a brush and start scrubbing," He said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

"We can pay for it, we brought everything we own, and half of it we don't need!" Emily whined.

"I have an idea, you go to the rail with string, bait, and a stick, and catch a fish! And when you want a different fish, you just catch another one and eat the last!" Jack said excitedly. Emily had her hands on her hips and started to pout.

"But, we don't have friends! And after a while, say about, oh I don't know, one week, we're at each other's throat's trying to push one another off a cliff." She said sadly.

"My darlings that has to be the saddest thing I've ever heard, and I'm so sad I'm playing the world's smallest violin," He said as he rubbed his pointer finger and thumb together. Emily and Claire just dropped their heads and started to walk away. Jack saw their disappointment.

"But, you are responsible for the animal of your choice," He said hesitantly. They turned around and hugged Jack and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"We should get a horse!" Emily exclaimed.

"Or a tiger!" Claire said. Jack moaned.

"Girls, it mist be small enough to fit in your cabin! Do we have an accord/" Jack asked. They looked at his hands he held out, they looked back at each other and nodded, and then they shook his hands.

"We have an accord!" They said at the same time.
