The Twin Sparrows

Isla De Muerta

Tortuga No POV

Gibbs: feast your eyes, Captain. All of them, faithful hands before the mast. Every man worth his salt, and crazy to boot.

Will: so this is your able-bodied crew?

Jack:<walks to Cotton> you, sailor!

Gibbs: Cotton, sir.

Jack: Mr. Cotton, do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death? Mr. Cotton! Answer, man!

Gibbs: he's a mute, sir, like your brother but unlike Wade poor devil had his tongue cut out.

Cotton:<opens his mouth to show his missing tongue>

Gibbs; so he trained the Perot to talk for him. No one's yet figured how.

Jack: Mr Cotton's parrot, same question.

Parrot: Ah! Wind in your sails! Wind in your sails!

Gibbs: mostly, we figure that means "yes."

Wade:<impressed>

Jack; of course it does. Satisfied?

Will: well, you've proved they're mad.

???: what's the benefit for us?

They walked over to second to last person as Jack lifted the hat off to reveal a beautiful ebony woman who had Wade's heart start beating faster.

Jack: Anamaria!<gets slapped>

Will: I suppose you didn't deserve that one, either.

Jack: no, that one I deserved.

Anamaria: you stole my boat!

Jack: actually... <gets slapped again> borrowed without permission, but with every intention of bringing it back to you.

Wade:<shakes his head>

Anamaria: but you didn't!

Jack: you'll get another one.

Anamaria: I will.

Will: a better one.

Jack: a better one!

Will; that one.

Jack: what one?

Wade:<pokes his shoulder and gestured to the Interceptor>

Jack: that one?<thinks> aye. That one. What day you?

Anamaria: aye!

Crew: aye!

Anamaria got her hat back before going over to Wade.

Anamaria; did you know?

Wade:<shakes his head>

Anamaria: at least you're honest. I've missed you. <grabs his head and kisses his lips before going with the crew>

Wade:<looks at her go with a in love view>

Will: what was that-

Jack: in our travels, there's only one woman who had Wade in her charm and that's her. Guess he'll be glad that she's coming with us.

Gibbs: no, no. It's frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir.

Jack:<looks to the horizon> it'll be far worse not to have her.

Jack walks off with Wade as Will and Gibbs looked to where he was looking.

Later, they were all sailing under a very, very wild thunderstorm. Jack was at the wheel looking at his compass as Wade tried to help the crew as much as he could. The water even made some slide around the ship.
