In the morning, there was a crew lined up on the deck. Me and Jack walked down the line of sailors and what a bunch of characters they were of all different shape and sizes.
"They're do" Jack nodded to Gibbs
"And you're do as a first mate" I smiled at Gibbs
"But – what – about…." Gibbs looked confused
"Two Captains" replied Jack
"Ah, well than as you wish Captains" he laughed
"Right, let's paint this ship!" I smiled
I let Jack shout out the orders as I still felt bad in what I had said to him last night. The crew started to paint over the red and green coloured paint and covered it with a dark blue and gold lining.
"So, a name love" Jack came and sat next to me.
"Hm, what are you thinking?" I asked
"Something to do with hope, maybe" answered Jack
"I was thinking something about destiny" I replied
Jack then sat back and thought, then he smiled "Hope's Destiny"
I looked up, it sounded good and I complimented "How comes you're so good at naming ships?"
Jack shrugged his shoulders looking a bit smug, but I let him get on with it. Jack then told the crew the name of the ship and it was soon painted on.
The ship was finally done by near sunset and Jack informed the crew "Good work, mates, we're be setting sail tomorrow morning"
Jack then came and stood next to me and we both looked at the ship admiring it.
"We make a good team, lass" smiled Jack
"Well, we are probably the two best pirates in the Caribbean, why wouldn't we?" I laughed
"I'll drink to that" agreed Jack
The crew went ashore and I went along with them as Jack and Gibbs looked at some charts. The crew went into a mixture of taverns as I looked out into the night to see a dark ship with the moonlight gazing upon it.
"The Pearl" I whispered
I didn't know whether to go and get Jack, but then I didn't know when his 'opportune moment' was. But I had no time to decided as a hand forcefully grabbed my arm "Where be Jack Sparrow, missy?"
"I don't know" I snapped and I pulled his hand off me "And I would learn some manners if I was you"
"My apologies, I am Captain Barbossa of the Black Pearl" he answered
"I would say it's nice to meet you but it hasn't been" I snapped and begun to walk off. This time, he grabbed me by the neck, lifting me off the ground and he stepped into the moonlight, revealing himself as a skeleton.
"Where be Jack, Captain Rose?" he repeated
"Get you're cursed hands off me" I warned
"Fine, we're take you with us" he replied and two of his crew tried to drag me back to the ship as I elbowed one and kicked the other in the stomach, but as I tried to make an escape they all gathered round me.
"Come Rose, don't cause a fuss" grinned Barbossa
"It's Captain, actually" I snarled
"Ah, well that makes two Captains then" replied Barbossa
"I wouldn't address you as Captain seems the ship is not rightfully yours" I snapped
Barbossa glared at me, looking slightly amused and then nodded. The crew grabbed me and dragged me to the ship. As they did, I saw Jack in some barrels and I mouthed "Don't come for me" as I thought it could be a trick so Barbossa could get rid of Jack for once and for all.
When I got onto the Black Pearl I could see why Jack was so dismayed to lose it, as it was beautiful….
"Take her to the brig" ordered Barbossa, then once again I got dragged down to the brig and locked it as I called "What is this going to achieve?"
