A/N-All right, in this chapter I made Jack seem a little nicer, and a little more intelligent then he is in the movie, though in the movie he still is intelligent, and in his own weird way nice but…you know what? Just read it and decide for yourself.

Disclaimer: Yeah, in case you can't tell, I'm not rich, so obviously I don't own anything from Pirates of the Caribbean. If I did, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

The next morning was, awkward, at the least for the three women. Ana Maria showed them around the ship and told them every thing that they would need to know incase another ship attached or a storm hit, but the eye's of the other men on the ship were inevitable.

Vicky, who somehow managed to trust the pirates, unlike her mother and sister, now found herself sitting on the railing of the ship, staring out towards the sea.

Her feet were over the edge and her hands were digging into the railing, this wasn't the smartest position to be sitting in because if the ship went over a large wave, or she simply slipped, she would be thrown into the cold waters below.

But so far she hadn't so as instinct led her to do she sat perfectly still and stared out at the open see.

Something about the way the waves crashed gently on the side of the ship, and the salty water that sprayed her bare feet, was enticing. She closed her eyes as a smile spread over her freckle covered face, which from being out in the sun, even for only a day, all ready had a fare few more.

She opened them again and her eyes fell on the ocean's restless waters once again.

Her sister and mother were talking with Ana Maria about something, but Vicky had wandered away and found herself doing one of her favorite hobbies, daydreaming.

But suddenly she was pulled from her thoughts as a large wave crashed over the side of the ship and she was launched forward. Her mouth opened in a silent scream, and she closed her eyes waiting for the impact of water, but it never came. Instead she felt a pair of strong-arm clasp around her waist.

"Not a good idea sitting on the railing lass, I know from prier experiences." Came the voice of Captain Jack Sparrow.

She looked up into his smirking face, and her cheeks turning a shade of red that almost matched the bandana bound around his head.

Her mother and sister, who had turned around when they saw Jack running across the deck, only saw what was right in front of them. Captain Jack Sparrow, holding Victoria's Waist.

"Oh my lord!" Said Lydia running over to the railing a look of horror across her face. She grabbed the back of his shirt and wrenched him away from her daughter, punching him square in the face.

"No! Wait," Said Vicky, looking stunned at her mothers sudden attackes. "He just saved me from falling over board!"

Her mother who hadn't really been paying attention to her daughter and was preparing to fire another blow at Jack suddenly stopped.

"Oh,"

Jack stood up right again, one hand held over his bleeding nose. "My god! What the bloody hell is wrong with you?" He said grabbing a handkerchief inside his jacket and whipping his face with it before looking up at Lydia, a furious expression on his face.

"Well, from where I stood it looked like you were attacking her!" She said, as if this was an explanation for her attack on him, which really it was, but not to the person who had been attacked.

Jack scowled. "Do you really think I would do something like that?" He said angrily towering over her, but Lydia didn't back down. "Well…Yes!" She said simply razing an eyebrow at him.

"Well, give me an apology and I just might forgive you, love."

Lydia's mouth dropped open. "I will not apologies for trying to protect my daughter!" She said angrily.

Jack just stared at her in bewilderment. "Well then fine, I'll just throw you in the dungeons!" He said throwing his arms in the air.

"No you wont, you made a deal with me that you wouldn't harm us while we were aboard your ship in any way," She said smirking up at him. "Being thrown in the dungeons is included on that list."

Jack just smiled. "Pirate" he said simply as if this was explanation enough, while waving his hands obnoxiously as he spoke.

Lydia's smirk faded and she let out a sigh of annoyance. "Fine, I…apologies."

Jack folding his arms in triumph grinned down at her. "Fair enough, we're even." With that, he turned on his heel and walked in the opposite direction.

Ana Maria, Gabriella, and Vicky, who had all been standing to the side watching this speculation, all burst out laughing at once.

Lydia looked over at them, eyes wide and eyebrows glaring in such a way that all of them, including Ana Maria, found that the situation was no longer amusing and immediately secede they're laughing.

As soon as Lydia was out of ear shot Gabriella turned to her sister. "Have you noticed something odd about mum?" She asked, her face turning serious.

Vicky thought for a moment. "Yes." She said flatly. "Were did she learn to fight?" Asked Gabriella to no one in particular. "Why don't you just go ask her?"

Gabriella stared at her sister. "We can't just go up to her and ask her! That would be…" she thought for a moment. "Well it just wouldn't work all right?"

Vicky shrugged and walked away. Something most defiantly was not right, she knew that much.

After walking around the ship at least four times Vicky found herself incredibly bored and walked up to Jack, who was standing at the helm steering the ship, staring out to sea, his eyes glazed.

"So, you're the captain of the black pearl?"

Jack glanced over at her. "It would appear that way wouldn't it?" He said a smirk crossing his face as he turned the wheel to the right a bit.

Vicky leaned against the Wheels Hold (Or whatever the thing that supports it is called) and looked up at him.

"What's it like?" She asked.

This time he didn't even bother to look at her. "What's What like?"

Vicky smiled, knowing he was being stubborn. "Being a pirate."

"Absolutely boring, a total snore." He said, his voice sounding serious, though the sarcasm in his words was written on his face.

Vicky made a face and Jack chuckled. "Do you really want to know?"

Vicky nodded quickly. "Its amazing." He said, he eyes glazing over again and a grin spreading across his face.

She smiled, imagining what it must be like.

"What did you do before you were a pirate?"

An amused look came on Jack's face. "Are you interrogating me, or are you just that bored?" He asked looking over at her.

"Eh, a little of both." She said pushing of the Wheel's hold and standing up again.

Jack snorted. "Well, I got work to do, love" He said holding the wheel with one hand and turning to her fully now. "So if you don't mind, Id prefer if you go an ask someone else all your questions."

Vicky shrugged and went off in another direction.

Jack chuckled as he put both hands back on the wheel. "This should be an interesting trip"
