DISCLAIMER-Despite my numerous efforts, I still do not own Jack Sparrow.

So, I get to seeing to the problem Gibbs had interrupted my thinking time to tell me about, and I get a not-so-pleasant surprise. October is throwing all of the rum off the side of the ship.

"NOT THE RUM! Why are you doing that to the rum? What did it do to you?!?!?!?"

"Nothing to me Captain, to you. I told you we needed to shape up. I told you no more rum, Jack. When you don't listen to me, this is what happens. You got really drunk yesterday didn't you. We can't have the Captain of the Black Pearl sleeping days away because he's had a bit too much rum. If you can't handle it, don't drink it, hun."

She looked deep into my eyes.

"Yes, Elizabeth was right, Rum can turn the most respectable men into scoundrels. It's not vile though. You can't blame the rum. But, if this is what I have to do to show you I mean business, so be it. Come help me with this will you?"

"You are a loon. Now, I know you are truly insane. No I will not help you throw out my rum. My precious rum! What did the rum do to you? NOTHING! Rum is good. Not bad, and you're throwing it into the sea. I can't believe you. No. NO NO NO! Not good. Oh my. Is that all the rum?"

"No, not all of it, I'm going to have to get the remainder of it from your cabin. You're going to be a good Captain and let me in to go get it."

"This is where you are mistaken, luv. No one goes into my cabin without my permission, especially not to take my rum hostage and throw it overboard. Or YOU'LL be thrown overboard, savvy?"

"Well, Captain Jack, you need to sober up and if you don't, we will both be dead. So, help me with this will you?"

She said this with slight anger in her voice.

"Ok, fine. I will not watch though. I'll hand you the bottles, but I will not watch you savagely as you sacrifice my rum."

"That'll do."

I went through the rest of the evening throwing out me rum. It pains me to say, I am no longer in possession of any rum. This girl is driving me insane, first she knows everything about me, now she made me throw out my rum. I'm not going to have a good time with this lass.

Pouting, (without rum)

Captain Jack Sparrow

Ha Ha. Hope you liked it. Sorry for the short chapter. I think you are right, this is a great change for Jack. Change is not always good. Toodles
