The next day, Roxxi was standing on the deck of the Black Pearl, taking in the smell of the sea. Jack walked up to her. "Where's Treasure? I haven't seen her any where." Roxxi rolled her eyes. "She's a cat. She sleeps during the day." Jack looked around, and then kissed her! Roxxi pushed him away, blushing, then punched him in the face so hard, he fell, and then ran below deck. Mr. Gibbs ran over to help Jack up. "Are you alright?" Jack rubbed his jaw. "I'm good. I deserved a whole lot more then that wee little punch, though." Then Jack smiled, knowing what that had to mean.
Below deck, Roxxi was still blushing when she ran into Will. "Roxxi, are you feeling alright?" Roxxi nodded, then walked around him. Roxxi went into a cabin and slammed to door shut, waking Treasure from her sleep. The cat noticed her owner was pink, walked up to her, and meowed. "I'm fine, Treasure. Just go back to sleep." Roxxi said to her cat. Treasure meowed again. Roxxi looked at her cat, like she understood her. "Jack kissed me, and I liked it! I'm still mad at him for betraying me the way he did, but I still enjoyed it. I pushed him away, and he saw me blushing! So I did the first thing I could think of." Treasure meowed again, like she understood. "I punched him." Roxxi slid into a sitting position in front of the door. Treasure sat down next to her and placed a paw on her leg.
That night, Elizabeth below deck, looking for her son. 'Where could a fifteen months old boy go on this ship?' she wondered as she looked, but the answer was both obvious and unhelpful.'Anywhere'. She was just about to go tell Will, when she heard giggling, her son's giggling. Elizabeth walked over to the cabin the laughter was coming from, and couldn't believe her eyes. Jack was sitting there, playing with the kid. Jack had brought a chicken up from the hold for the boy to play with. Elizabeth looked at Jack, who was sitting on a barrel, smiling. "Jack, you're playing with William!?"
Jack looked at her. "Yes, I'm playing with him. You know, you were very unimaginative when naming him. You married a man named William, who has a father named William, so you go and name your son William?" Elizabeth looked at William. "Jack, my son has the barrel of a pistol in his mouth!" Jack looked at the boy, but didn't seem to worried by this. "Lizzie, that pistol is unloaded. I was cleaning it when Junior crawled in, and I've been watching him since." Elizabeth smiled. "Thank you, Jack." As Elizabeth picked up her son, Jack stood up and walked up next to her. "I'm more then happy to have been of service to you. Next time, you might want to keep a closer eye on him."
The next morning, Jack was on deck talking to Mr. Gibbs, but watching Roxxi help show various members of the crew tricks she had learned back when she was first mate. Jack loved the way she looked while helping them. Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight. She was smiling as someone figured out a new trick. Jack was so zoned out that he didn't even notice Mr. Gibbs calling his name, until he started waving his hand in his face. "What? Did you say something?" Jack asked. Mr. Gibbs sighed. "I asked you if you also had a bad feeling about bringing Roxxi along? After all, there's a story going around 'out how she's out for revenge."
Jack shook his head. "She's always been out for revenge, even when I knew her." Jack responded. "Don't ask me 'what for', but I think if she really wants revenge for something, it probably has nothing to do with me." Roxxi turned around, smiling, to wave at them. Jack smiled and waved back. Then he collapsed.
"JACK!" Roxxi screamed. She ran over to him. The whole crew ran to their fallen captain. Will ran on to the deck after hearing every thing from below deck, followed by Elizabeth. Even Treasure, who was sleeping, ran over. Roxxi felt Jack's forehead. "He's burning up." She yelled to them, then she turned to Mr. Gibbs. "If you know a nearby port where Jack wont get killed, please take us there." Mr. Gibbs saw that Roxxi was honestly worried about Jack. "Aye, I know I place, but Jack wont be too happy about it."
