Elizabeth blushed immediately. Jack smirked and moved his face closer to hers. Elizabeth's shut her eyes almost automatically, but then soon realized what she was doing. She immediately walked back and slapped right across his face. Jack jerked his head to the side and swayed to his right, almost toppling over. Rubbing his cheek, he said half laughing "Maybe some other time then."

Elizabeth gave him a furious look and stormed out his quarters, slamming the door behind her, not letting Jack follow. Ignoring Mr. Gibbs' questions, Elizabeth came back to her ship, the Immortal Dragon and yelled to her crew, "All hands, set sail to Tortuga with no haste!" Looking around, she noticed that the men's faces were all confused by her fury. "What are you waiting for, you filthy bilge rats! Follow my command and set sail!" The ship's anchor was hoisted, and the sails filled with wind.

A few hours later, Tai Huang informed Captain Swann that they had successfully docked in Tortuga. Still mad at Jack, she walked off her ship while yelling at her crew to start gathering supplies and fix any damages the ship may have had. She quickly walked into the city, dodging drunken men with their wenches swiftly, as if she had been there before. Soon enough, she found herself in at the bar of that all too familiar tavern she had found Jack at long ago.

"And what you want Miss?" The bartender asked.

Not thinking straight, she came up with the only beverage she could think of at the moment.

"Give me a mug of Rum," she replied. She was surprised that she had wanted such a vile drink, but then soon shrugged it off as the man brought her the Mug. "Here ya go Miss." Elizabeth simply nodded in thanks and sat down at an empty table nearby.

"Bloody pervert, haven't seen him in 5 years, and he just automatically thinks he can bed me!" she said loudly before drinking a healthy amount of rum. It was a good thing that it was never quiet in that Tavern.


Jack stared at the door of his quarters. He had wondered why she had reacted in such a furious way, after all, he did seduce her once before, thinking of the time they were stranded on the deserted island. Suddenly, it dawned on him "Oh yeah," he mumbled, "She was drunk."

Idiot, haven't seen this woman for years, and ya treat her as if she's just another wench! I must admit, she hasn't changed one bit, still as stubborn as ever. Jack smiled and walked out of his cabin, almost falling backwards from bumping into Mr. Gibbs.

Sighing, Jack said "What is it now Gibbs? Another bloody situation where you have to consult me before acting?"

"Sorry sir, just lettin' ya know that we be stoppin' in Tortuga to repair the sails cause o' the last storm."

"What makes you think you can sail wherever the bloody hell you want? You should know by now that the captain gives the orders on this ship!"

Confused, Gibbs said "Cap'n, ya just said-"

Soon, realizing his hypocrisy, Jack said calmly "Sorry mate, yer probably right."

He dismissed Gibbs with a quick wave of his hand and walked over to the helm and swiftly pulling out and opening his compass. Jack looked down and the scarlet arrow as it pointed behind him. He turned around in confusion and saw one of his crewmen holding a full bottle of rum. Jack walked over to the lazy man and grabbed the bottle from his grasp, ignoring his crewmen's reaction. Jack took a good amount down his throat before looking at his compass again. It pointed straight toward Tortuga.

Jack knitted his eyebrows in confusion and thought

I've got rum already, what else does that old town have t'offer me?
