Disclaimer- I'm called Disney and asked if I owned Jack Sparrow or POTC and they laughed uncontrollably over the phone and hung up. Hmph.
"Ouch"
I hit the crate I was currently leaning my head against. My neck was stiff and achy. I felt like I had been sleeping standing straight up. My head hanging.
"Bloody crate." I hit it again as if it would do me any good.
I stood up and stretched out a bit.
I could just picture her, sleeping in my bed, with me pillows. I walked up onto the deck and saw tat my cabin door was still shut. I though I saw someone go below deck as soon as I got to the door of my cabin. Assuming it was October. But, anyways, I knocked in case she wasn't decent.
"You decent, luv?"
"As decent as I'll ever be Captain." she said with a dull tone in her voice.
I pushed open the door and stood in the doorway. She was sitting at my desk, with a quill and some parchment. She was paying a lot of attention to the parchment. She looked up at me and said;
"Hold still, I need to capture your gorgeous brown eyes." She smiled a little and looked back down at the desk.
She flicked the pen in a bit of a circle and held up the parchment. I had to focus a little to realize what it was.
Me sleeping. I was propped up against the crate, just as I had been not but 15 minutes earlier. I had a disgusted look on my face and I almost seemed in pain. Which I was.
It was a great likeness of me and she captured every detail of the place below deck where I was laying. She was good.
"That is utterly amazing, luv. You are very talented."
I couldn't help but to smile a bit.
"Thank you Captain. I'm very sorry about me sleeping in your bed and all. I was so exhausted. I know you were very uncomfortable last night. I thought, he let me have his bed, I'll let him have something of mine. My love for art. I love drawing things. Whenever I have a good subject anyways."
She smiled a smile that almost seemed contagious.
"I love your teeth." She said this with a perkiness in her voice that alarmed me.
"My teeth?"
"Yes, especially the gold one. It's very attractive."
"Alright then, glad to know my chompers turn you on, luv."
She giggled and I turned and walked out to find Gibbs. He was at the helm.
"How are you today Gibbs? You seem to be in a good mood."
"Well, Captain, although I truly believe women onboard are bad luck, I think this one is different. She seems to bring a positive attitude to the crew. They are getting work done twice as fast as normal. With no complaints."
"Maybe, have you thought, that they are just a really good crew?"
"Aye captain, but it seems as if they are trying to impress her. And when she tells them what a good job they are doing, they seem to work EVEN better."
"Well, maybe she just wants things to get done. She seems as though she is all work and no play sometimes doesn't she?"
"Aye, Captain."
He shot me a funny look that was a signal of some sort.
She poked me and I startled. I turned around and who else but October standing right at my side.
"Clingy little thing aren't you now?"
"Jack, I feel safe around you."
Gibbs took the hint and went elsewhere.
"I have a surprise for you. Come"
She took me by the hand and led me to the cabin. She had the door closed and she made me close my eyes before entering. She made a big deal of it and said in her big voice;
"GET READ TO SEE A SPECTACLE OF GREAT WONDER!"
She opened the door and I opened my eyes.
"Oh my."

Captain Jack Sparrow
I guess I thought I had writer's block but it got a bit better. Not sure this chapter is all I expected it to be. I fear I'm not keeping Jack in character well enough. I'm very sorry about his. 9th chapter!
