Well…it seemed that people liked the first Chapter so I decided to update for your amusement. Special thanks to my reviewers. Hope you like this Chapter! Without any further ado…
Jack woke up to hear a loud horn in his ear. "What the hell?!" he yelled. Will had forced him to sleep on the deck, so none of the crew had woken. The only ones awake were Jack and…"Good morning, Jack."…Will, the owner of the horn. "What do ye think you are doing?! Are ye out of yer mind?! What time is it?!" Will was hit with Jack's questions. "Yes, I know exactly what I am doing. No I am not out of my mind. It's about 4am"
"4AM?!?!?! ARE YOU INSANE?!"
"For the last time, I haven't lost my mind and I know what I am doing."
"Okay, smarty. If ye know what ye are doing, why don't ye tell me why you woke me up at bloody 4am!!"
"You'll be making breakfast for the crew today."
"What?! I can't cook!!"
"Learn. Why do you think I woke up so early?" Jack thought for a minute then sighed. "Ye knew I was going to make a lot of mistakes."
"You're very observant." Will pointed out. Jack glared at him. "Well? What are you waiting for? Get to work!" Jack started to get up but Will stopped him. "What are you doing?" Jack stared at him blankly. "What you told me to do…" "I didn't mean now!" "But you just said…"
"No I didn't!" Jack gave up. Will did this kind of thing to him all night last night and Jack knew he couldn't win these kinds of arguments. "Before you go, I have to tell you this. Serve Elizabeth's breakfast in bed. Be warned, she is a huge critic and you will probably make hers over and over again until noon." Jack rolled his eyes. "Great…" he mumbled to himself. "Well, GO!" Will said as if it was obvious. Jack went below deck. Will started making his way below deck, when Jack came running up the steps and stopped Will. Will gave him a 'What now?' look and Jack gave Will a helpless look. "Um…Where exactly will I be completing this task?" he asked hesitantly. Will rolled his eyes and pointed in the direction to the kitchen. Jack thanked him and went on his way.
XXX"Is this good enough?" Jack asked, exhausted, as he handed Elizabeth a tray of food for the billionth time. He had been serving, preparing, cooking, making, and most importantly, disposing of Elizabeth's breakfast from 5am (he used the first hour to prepare the crew's meal) until 11am. Elizabeth never seemed to be satisfied. Jack was a mess from doing so much work and Will was already disappointed from the crew's reaction to Jack's cooking skills. Jack just explained by saying 'I told you so' mentioning when he said he couldn't cook.
Elizabeth took a bite of her 50th prepared breakfast. She frowned at Jack snobbishly. "Too chewy. Be sure not to overcook it next time." Jack sighed from being too tired. "Next time?" he moaned. "I've been working on yers the entire mornin' from four am. Besides, it's already a quarter to twelve, dontcha think it's a little late fer breakfast?" he said, ready to collapse on the bed Elizabeth was in. Elizabeth sighed.
"Alright, fine. Will isn't going to be very happy with this though…" she added. Jack woke up, as if he was sleeping. "No! No! Don't tell him I failed, please! It's me first day, just tell him that I succeeded! I won't let ye down again!" he said with his hands together to add to the pleading look. Elizabeth sighed again. "Alright, fine. Only because it's your first day, though. This better not happen again!" she said and Jack clasped his hands together as a thank you and left with the tray of untouched food.
Once on deck, he threw the breakfast overboard. If you didn't know any better, you would say a quarter of the ocean was made up of Elizabeth's breakfast. He leaned against the railing and started to drift off. It was 12:00 noon and he's already been up for eight hours. He's also been working the entire morning. He started to fall asleep until an unknown source tapped his shoulder. He jumped and spun around quickly to find a crewmember he didn't know. Luckily, Will and Elizabeth weren't around, or else they would be laughing their heads off after Jack jumped. Luckily, they weren't there, and Jack almost took a sigh of relief, but he realized that taking a random sigh of relief would be kind of awkward to this crewmember he was now facing.
"Is that yer 40th breakfast in the ocean?" The crewmember mocked him. Jack wasn't fully awake enough to realize he was being mocked. "I dunno, maybe. Maybe even more. Lizzie left me off da hook so I don't hafta do anymore…" Jack said, all hints of drowsiness in his voice. The crewmember smirked. "Oh, this will be an interesting story for Captain Will…" he said. Jack winced when he said 'Captain Will.' It just didn't have a ring to it like 'Captain Jack' did. Jack quickly got back to his senses and waved his hands in the air. "No! Don't tell him!!"
"Why not?" Jack thought for a minute for a reason why not. "Because I am only here for a week and if you tell him that Liz was not happy then I will make this the worst week you ever had!!"
"So?! If I tell the Captain then he will make this the worst week you ever had!" Jack looked down. "Fine. Tell him. But he'll believe Lizzie before you…"
"Not if I get there first!" The crewmember started heading to the Captain's quarters. "Oh, no you don't!" Jack yelled and pulled out his sword. The crewmember pulled out his and they fought.
XXX
The sword fight had last almost an hour now. Occasionally, they would get an audience, but no crewmember in the audience ever rooted for Jack. They didn't even know the guy!
Both of them were getting exhausted. For Jack, that would be hugely exhausted, because he was ready to pass out before they started fighting. Elizabeth didn't want to watch. Not because they were sword fighting, neither of them could die, but because both their shirts were clinging to them as if they weren't wearing a shirt, and she didn't want Will to be upset with her for staring. Silly thing, you might say.
During their sword fight, they were also having an insult fight. "Just give up, you eunuch!" Jack snapped. He really didn't want to fight anymore. He was way too tired. "If you don't wanna fight then just stop, you wanna-be pirate!" Jack swung his sword over the head of the crewmember as he dodged it by ducking.
Fifteen minutes later, Will came by to see what all the fuss was about after another member of the crew informed him that two people were fighting. He wasn't informed on whom.
He ran up the steps and onto the deck. He pushed and shoved into the crowd until he was standing right before them. They failed to notice, they kept throwing swords and insults at each other. "You lose a bet and suddenly lose your title as Captain you weakling!" The crewmember said and tried to stab Jack but he backed away to dodge it. "You're too low to even have a title as Captain in the first place and have to serve under a eunuch!!" Jack said and swung his sword but it clashed with the other sword that was flying around.
"Jack, how many times must I tell you that I am NOT a eunuch!!" Will said, and they both stopped and faced him. "What's going on?"
"HE STARTED IT!!!" The crewmember pointed at Jack. "What?!" Jack exclaimed. "You did! You told me not to go further and pulled out your sword!"
"Only because you threatened me!!"
"You didn't have to have someone else lie for you in the first place!!"
"Yes I did! He'd believe Liz's lie more than mine, aye?!"
"But this is still your fault!"
"IS NOT!"
"IS TOO!"
"IS NOT!"
"IS TOO!!"
Will rolled his eyes at them. "Alright, alright! Crew, get back to work, except for Jack and Bo'sun." Jack and Bo'sun put their swords away and stopped arguing. "You two are like children." Will began. "Why did this start?"
"Well, because-" Bo'sun began. Jack knew he was going to expose him, so he put his hand over his mouth. "I. Will. Tell." He said. Bo'sun glared at him. Jack took his hand away so he could give visuals with both his hands like he naturally does when he talks. "THIS one-"Jack said, pointing at Bo'sun. "tapped me on the shoulder when I was leaning on the rail-"
"Sleeping on the rail." Bo'sun corrected with a smirk. Jack blushed a little. "ahem. Anyways, when I turned to face him, he started mocking me, and put in a threat so I challenged him in a sword fight. And then you ruined it."
"Because you called me a eunuch."
"Yes."
"Now why would Bo'sun randomly decide to mock you instead of anyone else on the crew?"
"I don't know. Maybe because I'm new here and a lot of the crew isn't accepting me on yer ship. Maybe I should go back on me own…"
"No, this is only day one of the bet." Just then, it started raining. "Come down in my quarters and we'll discuss this." Will said. They followed him below deck.
The Interrogation
Will sat in a chair at a desk across from Jack and Bo'sun. "So here is the story I have so far." Will said. "Jack fell asleep at the rail, Bo'sun woke Jack up and started mocking and threatening him, and then you swordfight until I break it up."
"That is right." Jack said. "Why were you asleep at the rail?" Will asked. "Wouldn't you be tired if it was noon and you've already been up for eight hours working your ass off? By the way, NEVER MAKE ME DO THAT AGAIN!!"
"……..ah." Will said. "Well, it's not like your going to get any sleep tonight anyways…" Jack gulped. "What?"
"It's raining pretty hard. I don't think it's going to stop until tomorrow morning." Will said. Bo'sun looked at Jack. "What does rain have to do with it? Does the Captain make you sleep on the deck?" he asked, smirking. "Well wouldn't you like to know." Jack said, folding his arms across his chest.
"Alright, enough!" Will broke up their fighting. Jack and Bo'sun looked at him. Will sat back in his chair, intrigued by his next question. "What was the threat?"
"What?" Jack's eyes went wide and he gulped. "What was the threat Bo'sun gave you?"
"Before Jack says anything, I must tell ye that he threatened me first." Bo'sun said. Will's eyes went back to Jack. Jack had an idea. "Why did you threaten him and what was the threat?"
"He was mocking me too much for my content so I told him I was only going to be here for a week, and If he keeps doing that then I will make this the worst week he's eva had." Jack smiled as he unraveled his master work to Will. Will wasn't smiling. "So how did he threaten you?"
"He said he'd tell you something that, might I add, was not true, and then you would make this the worst week I eva had."
"That's true, I probably would."
"That's cruel…." Jack put his hand over his heart.
"What were you going to tell me?" Will asked Bo'un. Bo'sun gave Jack a smirk before turning back to Will. "By the way, what I was going to tell you, was true. Jack didn't want you to know. I was going to tell you that Elizabeth let Jack off the hook. He was on the railing dumping yet another breakfast and then dozed off. He took out his sword after I was about to walk away to tell you."
"But, Elizabeth said that she had a fairly good breakfast this morning…"
"She was covering because Jack begged her to forgive him."
"Ah, now I see." Will looked at Jack. Jack gulped. "You don't belive him do you? You'd believe him over your wife?!"
"My wife doesn't feel right about my bossing you around or about the bet at all so it would actually make sense for her to let you off the hook. Now I need to give you another task…"
"Oh, no, not another task!!" Jack put his head down. "I'm so exhausted it's taking all me energy just to speak…"
"Well next time don't use Elizabeth to your advantage…" Jack glared at Will. Bo'sun was smirking and Jack saw this out of the corner of his eye. "I. Hate. You."
"Same here. I'm going to enjoy this week." Jack groaned.
"Okay, enough in my quarters. Both of you get out, Kraken." Bo'sun looked at Will, confused, until Jack shuddered and Will started laughing along with Bo'sun, who wasn't laughing as much. "STOP DOING THAT!!!!! It's not that funny!" Jack whined.
"Yes, it is. Now leave me." Will said. They both left. "I love Sundays…"
Okay, this was day one! I hope you liked it and please review!
