Notes: Only a short one, but please enjoy and review if you can XD
We reached Tortuga in the morning, when nearly everyone was at least half sober. We had decked the ship towards the back of the island in case the navy saw it and was daring enough to make port on a pirate island. Our main aim was to find us a crew for the commandeered ship where the ship would have t be changed a bit, like its name for instance.
"Faithful bride?" I said to Jack, while looking at the row of taverns and he nodded in agreement. We walked in and saw the place being tidied up a people sleeping with their heads resting on the tables.
"Two rums please, love" Jack smiled at the barmaid.
"At this time of the morning?" I questioned
"Aye, when I was marooned for weeks, I learnt you should drink why you can" replied Jack
"Come on Jack, I know the rumrunners got you off that island, how many days was it? Oh yeah, three!" I laughed
"I don't know what you're on about" remarked Jack
"The rumrunners has to be friends of mine" I smiled
"Ah, well love. I'm counting on you to keep my secrets" pleaded Jack
"I will, unless you annoy me too much" I chuckled
"Thanks, lass" he grinned
"It's Captain" I corrected
I then looked over at a sleeping man and I nodded to Jack. We walked besides him and I nudge him in the back. He shot up surprise and looked at us.
"Well, well!" the man smiled
"Ahoy Gibbs" I smiled back and sat next to him.
"Well, Captain Rose Nightingale and Captain Jack Sparrow, what can I do for ye?" he asked
"We need you to find us a crew" answered Jack
"A crew? You got a ship then?" questioned Gibbs
"Aye" I smiled "A present from the Navy"
"Ah, I see. Do you think that was wise?" asked Gibbs
"Well, since Beckett sunk both our ships I would say it was" I remarked
"And we're gonna re-name and paint it so their have a harder time spotting us" explained Jack
"Argh, I'll find us a crew" grinned Gibbs
"Coming then?" I smiled
"Aye, I wouldn't miss an adventure with you two" he replied
"The ship is decked round the back of the island, tell them to meet there tomorrow morning" explained Jack
"Better get to it then" smiled Gibbs and he walked off in the forming crowd that were starting to fill the tavern again.
"Back to the ship?" I asked Jack
"Aye, aye Captain!" he smiled
"Don't mock me, Jack just because I'm a better Captain" I smirked
"Is that so?" he grinned
"Yes, my crew didn't commit mutiny on me, did they?" I shot back
The look on Jack's face made me feel guilty straight away, and I said"Jack,, I'm sorry – I didn't mean it. You are a good Captain; you just had some bad eggs on board"
"It's fine, lass" he faintly smiled, but I could tell he was still somewhat hurt by my comment, it was only meant to be a joke, but I shouldn't have said it, he loved that ship.
