Dear Tiffany,

I would like to apologize for my earlier actions. I feel ashamed of myself for scaring and hurting you. I never meant for it to happen. My temper just got the best of me. I really like my hat.

Any way to make it up to you I have left some things outside your door as I suspected if I just barged in you would have been somewhat maybe scared and annoyed at me. I hope you like them as I thought you would.

I really am sorry, love. Please forgive me.

Yours as always

Jack.

Tiffany smiled and opened the door. Boxes were piled up, all tied in pink and green and blue ribbons. Tiffany took them into the room one by one and finally when they were all in she began opening them. The first box she opened was pink and had in it a small silver trinket. The second box was blue and she lifted the lid of. In it was a bunch of beautiful blue ribbons. Tiffany smiled as she opened another box. It had in it a basket of posies, all reds and pinks and yellows and blues. The next box had in it a garland of lilies, all white. The next box was red and she opened it and smiled. A dozen red roses, all thornless. The next box contained a little straw hat, with pink and blue ribbon decorating it. The next box had in a beautiful fairing, the next a delicate piece of lace. Finally she came to the last box and opened it carefully. Inside were beautiful ribbons, all different colours and fabrics and designs.

"To tie up my bonnie brown hair." Tiffany thought. The smile remained planted on her face even when she realised she should thank Jack. She left Will and Elizabeth's cabin and went to Jack's, knocking on the door.

"Come in." Tiffany took a deep breath and stepped in. Jack looked up at her from his bed. He was lying on it, waiting. He smiled at her.

"Thank you for the presents. They are lovely."

"That's okay; I thought I should sorry for the shouting and the sword thing." He said, slightly sheepishly. Tiffany stood there for a minute before speaking.

"You know what we need?" Jack shook his head.

"I'll be right back." And Tiffany dashed from the cabin, leaving Jack to stare at her retreating form. Minutes later she returned with two bottles of rum. Jacks sat up.

"You, love, are a genius."

"Tell me about it." She said, uncorking the bottle with her teeth. Jack did the same and they both took a swig.

"Do you believe Elizabeth wouldn't let me drink anything when we were out?" Tiffany said, the rum already taking its toll on her. Jack smirked.

"Of course, love, I mean, she burnt me rum." Tiffany sighed.

"It must have been so terrible for you."

"What was?"

"Being stuck with Elizabeth on an island. I would hate that."

"She's meant to be yer friend."

"I know but she doesn't half get on my nerves sometimes. Not letting me drink. She says it's because I get to 'atrocious'. How unfair?" Jack nodded and draped his arm around Tiffany's shoulder. She laid her head on his shoulder and took another swig of rum.

After another two bottles of rum, Jack suddenly stood up. Tiffany, who had still been leaning on him, fell backwards onto the bed.

"I forgot to give you this." Jack pulled a box form the bottom of his wardrobe.

"What is it?" tiffany asked as Jack passed it to her.

"Open it." Tiffany looked at the white box and pulled the yellow bow open. She lifted off the lid.

"Of, Jack, its lovely." She said, picking up the blue dress.

"Not as lovely as you but it'll go with the ribbons. It's Egyptian cotton. The very best." He said, flourishing his hands. Tiffany stood up and kissed Jack. The soft kiss soon turned into a passionate dance with both of them ending up on the bed Jack fumbled with Tiffany's corset strings. Suddenly the door burst open.

"Cap'n…oh, uh, sorry but there's a ship on the horizon. The Turner's spotted it. Naval ship, Cap'n. Do you think they're after Miss. Tiffany?" Gibbs said, as he averted his eyes from Jack and Tiffany, who were tangled on the bed.

"The Navy has impeccable timing as per usual." Jack said, releasing Tiffany. She was blushing, furiously.

"Raise anchor. And quickly." Gibbs nodded and rushed on deck. Elizabeth rushed to him.

"Where's Tiffany? She isn't in our cabin." Gibbs grinned.

"She be with the Cap'n." Elizabeth looked gob smacked.

"Are they…were they having…?" Elizabeth waved her hands in front of her. Gibbs chuckled.

"No, lass, but if they hadn't been interrupted…"

"If who hadn't been interrupted?" Suddenly Jack was standing over Elizabeth and Gibbs.

"No one, Cap'n." Gibbs rushed off, yet Elizabeth rounded on Jack.

"What were you doing?" Jack looked thoughtful.

"I was having a wonderful time with your friend." Jack slurred. The rum was evident on his breath.

"You and her were drunk, weren't you?"

"Possibly. Well, now I'm steering my ship and she's asleep so there is nothing to worry about. Go hide, Elizabeth."

"I don't hide, Jack."

"Well, go do something away from here." Elizabeth refrained from slapping Jack and stormed off to find Will.

"Uh, Cap'n, why do you suppose they've come all this way to get to us? Never have they bothered before." Jack smirked at Gibbs.

"Never before have we had the Commodore's fiancée, future wife, onboard." Gibbs jaw dropped.

"Jack, you stupid blighter. Yer a fool. Ye will be hang'd for this when Commodore catches up."

"Well, it's a good job I'm not a fool then isn't it?" Gibbs shook his head.

"Now where have I heard that before? Oh was it the time you wen' after Barbossa and almost got hang'd?" Jack shrugged.

"It may have been."

"Jack, correct m' if I'm wrong but it seems to me you've taken a likin' to the future Mrs. Commodore." Jack shrugged.

"I'm just showin' her freedom. Then I'll take her back." Gibbs looked worried.

"And if she don't wanna go back? And if ye don't wanna take 'er? Then what?" Jack sighed.

"Mr. Gibbs, it seems the crew is in need of your assistance." Gibbs nodded, knowing that the conversation was over, he scuttled off. Jack looked at the approaching Navy ship. Maybe it would be best just to hand her over. That way he couldn't get too attached.

"Change of course! We head for the naval ship and when we are along side lower the anchor!" The crew all looked at Jack as if he was mad.

"Come on! Get to it, ye scabrous dogs!"
