I stand at the front of the ship, taking a little break from my cleaning. I look out onto the sea. I hear footsteps behind me, and look over my shoulder to see Jack walking up behind me, and standing next to me, "Such beauty" He simply says. "What?" I ask, my head shooting his way. "The sea...she's my only, true love" He mumbles. I breathe a chuckle, 'crazy pirate' I think, "Oh, like that" I simply answer. "Aye..." He answers. It's silent for a few seconds, but then a question pops into my head, "Jack? What is the name of Warfstache's ship?" I ask, looking at the sea. "It's called The Wink" He replies. "Do you know why or how?" I ask, looking at Jack. He looks back into my eyes, glancing at my lips for a split second, "Aye...some say it's because Warfstache has a charming wink that curses you...do something with you. But really, those are myths..." He explains, "Wink, is a mixture of Wilford and pink...because he loves himself and pink above all else" I mouth an 'oh', and nod, slowly turning my head back to the salty water. "I see" I reply, "Well, that makes more sense" I reply. "Aye" He answers, "(Y/N), do you know how to handle maps?" He asks. My head shoots his way. I nod quickly, "Oh, but I do!" I answer excited. Jack lifts his chin a little, and looks blankly at me, but I could swear I saw a small smirk form on his lips. "Then there, is your new job" He says, "Follow me, matey" He turns around, and walks that silly walk to the back of the ship. He doesn't wait for me, so I quickly jog up to him, and walk up the stairs, to the wheel. Jack stands at the wheel, "Barbossa, you can do..." he looks up and down Barbossa's body, "Do something else" Jack finally finishes his sentence. "aye aye, captain" he simply answers before glancing blankly at me and walking down the stairs, Jack the monkey landing on his shoulder.

I sit down at a small table where the map and compass are on. "current location, mate?" Jack asks, looking out onto the sea. I gulp and quickly search, looking at the compass, "ehh, hold on, captain" I say, slightly nervous, because I want to do everything properly, and I don't want to keep Jack waiting. I hear him chuckle amused at me, but I ignore him. I finally come to our current location, "we're currently near Lagoona bay, captain" I answer. "Ah, wonderful" he looks behind the Pearl, seeing The Wink follow us. "He has not a damn clue" Jack mumbles quietly to himself, having a sneaky grin on his soft lips. I look down at the map again, "where is this golden island...?" I ask. Jack walks up to me, standing next to the small table. He has his head straight, but moves only his eyes down at me, "you don't need to know, love" he says, "but make sure we get to that island right there" he explains, pointing to a small island that has no name. I nod slowly, "okay" I simply answer, a little confused.

"Laaaaand ho!!" Someone yells from the crow nest after like an hour of sailing. I look up, and see an island, "This should be it, captain" I explain. Jack looks at the island, and glances at me without turning his head. He quickly shoots his head to the other side of the ship, his long, dark longs swinging to the side. "aye!! drop the anchor, gentlemen!" he commands, looking at The Wink who approaches us slowly, and stops sailing next to the Pearl. Jack jogs off the stairs, and steps in front of all the crew members, "You, you, you and you go with me" He says. I quietly join the group of men, which the captain notices, "And you!" He points at me. Mister Gibbs, who is next to Jack because he will be going with him, widens his eyes, "her!?" He asks surprised. "aye! her!" Barbossa says, "The lady will come in very handy for the crazy man" He explains. Mister Gibbs looks at Jack, "how will she be handy for Jack?" He asks confused. Jack and Barbossa blankly stare at Gibbs, who clears his throat uncomfortably, "Of course I was joking, captain. I know he was talking about mister Warfstache" He says, bowing his head slightly. Jack raises an eyebrow and looks back at the crew, "You two stay on the ship!" He commands, pointing at two men, "aye aye, captain!" they say loudly. "get the boats ready" Jack commands again, glancing at the ship next to the Black Pearl, seeing men already lowering the small boats to get to land. "come on!!! quick!" Jack growls, clearly wanting to be on the island first.

I quickly follow Jack, and step into the boat. Soon we arrive on the beach, and we all step out. The water splashes as I land in the water that reaches to my ankles, making my boots wet. Jack waits until Pintel has dragged the small boat into the beach, so that his boots won't get wet. "Don't stand there! help me!" Pintel growls at Ragetti, who is snickering at Pintel's struggling. Ragetti quickly helps, but suddenly one of his eyes pops out of his head. I gasp and squeal softly, covering my mouth, as Jack behind me looking around the beach. Ragetti quickly grabs his eye, that had bounced back into the boat. He blows on it, wiping it clean with his sleeve, and presses it back into his head. "Why the disgusted face, poppy?" Pintel asks with a wicked, amused grin on his face. I quickly turn around, but forgot that captain Jack was standing there, so I bump into him. He turns around, glancing down at my blushing cheeks, "so sorry, captain" I apologize, slightly bowing my head. He has his eyebrow raised, but says nothing and looks back at the island full of beautiful flowers and green trees. I look to my left, seeing Wilford with his red and white striped thingy. He's talking to one of his crew members, not looking our way. "Don't we have to go over to him?" I ask the captain. Jack glances at me, "No, he has to come here" He replies, looking back at Wilford. And so, we stand there for I don't know how long. Wilford won't stop talking, and Jack decides to slowly walk Wilford's way, not looking at him. He looks at the trees, glancing at Wilford every now and then, but not tilting his head. I raise an eyebrow at him, looking at mister Gibbs, who is looking back at me. I lower my eyebrows at him, shaking my head, mouthing a 'what'. He shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders, as if saying 'yeah, I don't know either'

We finally arrive at where Wilford is standing, "I see..." I hear him say before slowly tilting his head to the side, raising an eyebrow at Jack Sparrow, "where's the gold?" he asks blankly, as if believing Jack has lied about the golden island. In fact, he never even told me where it is. Maybe it's all part of his plan, but how would I know, I'm not a filthy pirate, so I don't think like one either. Jack smiles friendly, and points at the fully grown trees, who are standing very close to each other, "there" he simply says.

Suddenly, Wilford pulls out his sword, but Jack does the same, making sure the sword does' t hit him. "alright..." Wilford says silently, "You go first" he says blankly. Jack looks at Wilford's sword that is pointing at his face, and then at Wilford himself, who is gesturing his head towards the trees. Jack slowly lowers his sword, glances at me, and walks towards the trees. "C'mon, gentlemen, follow your captain" Wilford looks at the group of men behind me. They all follow Jack. Then, Wilford and I make eye contact, "And you can stay with me, m'lady. Getting used to your new leader" He tells me. I want to shake my head, but then I see him winking at me once, making me realize it wouldn't hurt anyone if I walked with him. "okay" I simply say. He puts his sword in its holder on his belt, and gestures, "Ladies first" He has an amused smirk on his lips. I nod slowly once, and start to walk, catching him glance at my behind. 'disgusting man' I think to myself.
