Within a week, East had become the best friend of every rough and tough crew member on board the ship. Everyone but Jack. Jack tried to be kind to his little charge, because it was his duty. To her, to his father. It was his punishment and he must uphold his end of the bargain with his father.

Despite his efforts to be collected, something so rare on his part that the crew began singing annoying love songs when he walked past with East trailing behind him, he soon found himself becoming annoyed with her. She was sweet, yes, and her voice was charming, but she followed him about wherever he went, with the dedication and naivety of a personal slave. She was totally unaccustomed to any part of life, anything to do with death. She did, however, fully understand pain. It was obvious to Jack that she was no ordinary girl. She didn't have the poise of a servant, or the slouch of a peasant. He wanted so badly to take advantage of her innocence and make her do things like his chores, but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

East could talk her way out of anything. Anything. For a girl who'd been mute a week earlier, the food and companionship were working wonders on her. Jack sometimes blamed the things he did wrong on East, to try and get her into trouble. It never worked.
"East!" Himeon yelled, looking at the overturned bucket East was standing next to. Jack had pushed her close to the bucket, to make it appear to be her fault. East blinked innocently up at the man. She truly had no idea what was going on. Five years old, four feet tall...Himeon grumbled and refilled the bucket. East was everybody's princess.

Angered at another failed attempt (that made three today) to get her into some sort of trouble, any kind at all, Jack went to into the galley to torment the five brown chickens out of their feather brained minds. He didn't really hate the chickens so much, he need a break from the crew's 'perfect new princess.' Oh how he hated her sometimes.

Meanwhile Captain Jack was watching his sons behaviour, and erupts a hearty, masculine laugh. Unlike his offspring, he knew that someday her loyalty and devotion would be much appreciated, especially if she became a pirate. These traits are rare traits in pirate females, who are mostly cunning women looking only for personal gain and the captain to woe to their bidding.

East was giggling and Jack could hear it from the deck. She was riding on Big Jim's back as he pranced around the deck. He grinned up at Captain Jack.

"She don' wei' but ferty pounds cappin!"

"That's good to hear Big Jim..." Captain Jack's voice was smooth, not rough like his crewmates. "I would hope she isn't too heavy or too lit...I mean, I hope she is growing bigger, and prettier, of course." He winked at East, who grinned with a missing front tooth, a recent tooth, however, had been more lost. No one had found where it had gotten to. East's tooth had simply...disappeared.

Then suddenly one day, out of the blue, the tooth appeared- almost like magic- in the captain's left boot, with the sharp end pointed straight up. What was once a calm morning, became something like this...

"JACK SPARROW GET YOUR SCRAWNY LITTLE BUTT HERE BEFORE I USE YOUR TONGUE TO WASH THE POOP DECK!"

How did he know it was me?Jack quickly got his scrawny butt to his father for fear of the threatened punishment along with the little charge he already had.

Many hours later

After a long speech from his father, Jack grudgingly sat next to the Porcelain Doll. One day I'll be rid of her for ever and ever, then we'll see who's the crew's favorite.
