"Tiffany asked me to give you this, Cap'n." Gibbs handed Jack his overcoat.
"Thank you, Gibbs. We will be docking in Tortuga in around an hour." Gibbs nodded but a frown remained on his face.
"Cap'n, what did ye do?" Jack turned to Gibbs confused.
"Do? What do you mean?"
"To the lass. She's shakin' like a leaf, all pale. Won't even come out. And I'm figurin' that seems you was the last person she, uh, talked to, you might know wha's gotten into 'er." Jack sighed.
"I may have scared her a bit." Gibbs looked at Jack, like a father would when he was scolding a son.
"A bit?"
"Fine, a lot. But not purposely. I was just angry. No one touches my hat, let alone throws it in the water, Gibbs." Gibbs shook his head.
"An' tha' cut on 'er neck?"
"I didn't mean to." Jack said, like a naughty child. Gibbs nodded.
"Well, I think its abou' time you said yer sorry."
"Like she will even come near me now." Gibbs smiled at Jack.
"You'll find a way." And he walked off leaving Jack to 'find a way'.
"Tiffany, when was the last time you ate, sweetie?" Tiffany shrugged.
"Not since Port Royal." Elizabeth gasped.
"That was almost three days ago! You need to eat or you'll make yourself sick." Tiffany hugged her knees to her chest. Elizabeth sat down by her friend.
"What happened?" Tiffany ignored the question. Elizabeth sighed.
"We're docking in Tortuga." Will called down to them. Elizabeth frowned.
"Tortuga. That town is the most horrid place imaginable. Jack loves it." As Jack was mentioned Tiffany tensed up. Elizabeth noticed.
"So what happened between you and said Captain?" Tiffany looked at Elizabeth through teary eyes.
"I want to go home." She wailed and threw herself into laying position on Elizabeth's bed. Elizabeth patted her friend on the back.
"Well how about you just come into Tortuga for a bit with me and Will and then we can come back here? Please?" Tiffany nodded and wiped away some tears.
"Fine. Oh and it's Will and I."
"What?"
"You said '…me and Will…' you are supposed to say Will and I. Uh, Elizabeth, all my dresses are in Jack's cabin and I was wondering if…"
"I would get you one? Of course I will. I'll be right back." Elizabeth hopped off the bed and left Tiffany to get a dress. She walked straight into Jack's cabin, with out even knocking. Not a good idea.
"What the bloody hell do ye think yer doing?" Elizabeth spun around to a half naked Jack. She gasped, turned a bright red and covered her eyes.
"Getting Tiffany a dress."
"Why?"
"Jack, instead of standing there will you please put some God damn clothes on?!"
"Oh, right." He sauntered into his bathroom and changed. When he re-appeared, Elizabeth had already found a dress. She held it up.
"Won't she look gorgeous in this one? We bought it when we went shopping." Elizabeth swished the dress in front of Jack.
"It'll look lovely on her now if ye would get out I'd be much obliged. I need to make a list."
"A list? What for?"
"None of yer concern. Now out!" Elizabeth huffed but left the cabin. Jack watched her go and then set to work on his list.
"You got me all dressed up to come to a tavern and you won't even let me drink? I resent that." Elizabeth laughed.
"Well, get up and dance then." Tiffany looked around.
"With who? No one in here is remotely attractive in any way." Elizabeth pointed to a man in the corner. He had blonde hair and brown eyes. His skin was lightly tanned and he was smiling at Tiffany. He got up and walked over.
"I'm Edward." Tiffany smiled and held out her hand. Edward kissed it.
"I'm Tiffany." Edward was still holding Tiffany's hand; he pulled her from her seat.
"Dance?" Tiffany nodded as Edward led her to the middle of the floor. They danced for what felt like hours but eventually Elizabeth came over.
"Sorry to break this up but we are going back to the ship. Are you coming or…?"
"No, I'm coming." Tiffany turned to Edward.
"Will I see you again, Tiffany?" Tiffany shook her head.
"I'm on a ship, the Black Pearl, and we leave soon. I'm sorry, Edward, this has been lovely." Edward placed a kiss on her cheek and let her go.
He watched her leave, a suspicious gleam in his eye.
"Is she the rich girl? The one Sparrow has been travelling with?" Edward turned to a tall, straggly grey haired man.
"Aye, she is." Edward said. A low chuckle followed.
"So, Edward? "
"What about him, Elizabeth?"
"Do you like him?" Tiffany screwed up her face. She shrugged.
"He's slightly…boring. I would prefer some one like…"
"Like Jack?" Elizabeth cut in. Tiffany gaped at her.
"No! He is probably out with one of his many women right as we speak." She said, distastefully. Elizabeth shrugged as Will took her hand. He kissed her.
"Oh, you two! Go and be all loved up some where else. No, walk me back and then go." Will and Elizabeth laughed at Tiffany who walked considerably faster as they kissed. Finally they reached the ship.
"Well, we'll go off and leave you here." Will said as Tiffany walked up the gangplank. She scowled at her friends.
"Fine. See you tomorrow." She called and went down to their cabin, where she had taken temporary residence. She ignored the few crew members who were loitering around and walked in, slamming the door behind her. She chucked herself on the bed and sat up, struggling to undo her corset strings. A note was slipped under the door. She eyed it suspiciously and stood up. She picked it up and turned it in her hand. The front said 'Tiffany' so she made the educated guess it was for her. The seal was a sunset and a bird. Not just any bird. A sparrow. She carefully opened it and began reading…
