Commentary: Thanks again for the review, Jwan! And thank you, wolfer, for the favorite! Um… I would usually give a brief summary of what's to come but… (shrugs) I don't know what I'm going to do next! It helps for me to have a vague outline of what I'm doing.

???'s POV (don't worry, you'll catch her name soon)

I never lifted my right hand from my chest. I knew that if I did, I'd be vulnerable. I'd wander my way through familiar worlds in that position. I never let anyone get even close to my chest. Not because I was afraid of perverts or anything of the sort, I was a big girl, but because that left my chest open and subject to attack. Doctors lost their stethoscopes listening for my heartbeat. Friends were sometimes pushed away harshly.

Friends.

I didn't have to worry about being in that position ever again, did I? They were all dead. The only people who accepted what I was. Everyone else either looked down on me with pity or cowered away from me in fear. Not that I ever really gave anyone reason to accept me. I wasn't very open hearted and I tended to get on the edgy side.

But I'm getting a bit off track here, aren't I?

I scanned my surroundings. The shouts of townspeople and the loud laughing and idiotic jokes of drunken men echoed in my ears. I smiled to myself, I was in Port Royal. It wasn't as cozy as Castle Oblivion, or nearly as interesting as The World That Never Was, but I'd get used to it. I always did.

I recalled my lives up till that moment. By that time I'd lived two separate lives, if not three. But the first of the three I shoved away.

"Ello there, love."

I glanced carelessly over my shoulder. "I was expecting a dramatic entrance. You are, Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl, are you not?"

He laughed heartily and put a hand on my shoulder, spinning me around and leading me. Where to was unsure but I could've easily guessed. "You haven't changed a bit since I last saw you!" His British accent always seemed funny to me, I'd never known anyone with his kind of charisma, and to think he shared the same world as my precursors. Not that I cared for them at all. "Come, let's have a drink and chat over old times! You are leading a new life, am I correct?" I nodded.

"I just started and it's nice to see that I have your support but…" He paused and looked down to me awkwardly, "I am a minor, I'm not aloud to drink."

He chuckled and rolled his eyes, "Oh, just a sip, darling! Shan't do you any harm!"

I mulled it over in my head, then shook my head, disdainfully. "I'm afraid you should have caught me an hour ago when I broke the law for a living."

"Well then, where would you like to go?" He sighed.

"Hm…" I wasn't sure yet who the new me was. Then it clicked, I didn't know why I hadn't thought of it before. This time around, I was going to be me. The mixture of my latest two lives created everything that I was, everything I ever wanted to be. I smirked. "Your ship, of course." I fluttered my eyelashes.

He rose an eyebrow, then returned the smile. "If that's what you wish…" He turned me around to face the bay where his flag waved on a dark, sodden mass, "minor." He knelt down and whispered into my ear.

Axel would have liked this me. I do.

Commentary: Okay… well, I thought I was going to have him say her name… but I guess I didn't. It's not like her name has any special meaning to it so I'll just tell you that her name is Clairice.
