"Okay, one more time guys!" I shouted from my position by the wheel with Anna-Maria. The crew groaned,
"Ashlyn, do we really have ta do this?" Anna-Maria grumbled. I snorted,
"Captain's orders babe." She raised an eyebrow. I cupped my hands around my mouth, "No complaining!"
"Dead men tell no tales." Mr. Cotton's parrot squawked. I rolled my eyes and hit the play button of my iPod which was now connected to the portable iPod speakers that I had made Poppins zap over. Well, not really zap, but you get the picture. I took a deep breath.
"HEY HO CAPTAIN JACK!" I sang at the top of my lungs.
"Hey ho Captain Jack," the crew repeated,
"BRING ME BACK TO THE RAILROAD TRACK!" I hollered.
"Bring me back to the railroad track." It was more half grumble, but whatever. At least they were learning.
"C'mon! More enthusiasm guys!" Anna-Maria rolled her eyes and she, reluctantly, sang with me,
"Run along the railroad track, run along with Captain Jack," I began to dance in a circle, "Run along the peace camp back, run along with Captain Jack," I grinned at Anna-Maria who couldn't help but grin back. By now, the crew had gotten used to the techno music, "Ba da, da, di, da, doe. Left, right, right, left. Ba da, da, di, da, doe. Run along with Captain Jack!"
The fast beat rhythm continued and I danced around the deck.
"FORWARD, MARCH!" Some crew members looked at me like I had a touch of sun fever. Maybe I did. We had been out at sea for three days. "HEY HO CAPTAIN JACK!"
"Hey ho Captain Jack," the crew repeated,
"BRING ME BACK TO THE RAILROAD TRACK!"
"Bring me back to the railroad track." The crew was kinda getting into it. Gibbs was definitely nodding his head to the music,
"GIMME A GUN IN MY HAND!"
"Gimme a gun in my hand."
"I WANNA BE YOUR SHOOTIN' MAN!" I pretended to shoot twice in the air/
"I wanna be your shootin' man!"
"LEFT RIGHT LEFT!"
"Left, right, left."
"THE MILITARY STEP!"
"The military step."
"THE AIR FORCE RAP!"
"The air force rap."
"THE SEVENTEEN IS THE BEST!"
"The seventeen is the best!"
"GO LEFT, GO RIGHT, GO PICK UP THE STEP, GO LEFT, GO RIGHT, GO LEFT!" I did a little Irish jig, grinning like an idiot.
"Go left, go right, go pick up the step, go left, go right, go left!" A few of the crew members stumbled over the words. Who wouldn't? It was a bit of a mouth full anyways.
"We are running to the railroad track, run along with Captain Jack. Ba da, da, di, da, doe, run along with Captain Jack. Run into the peace camp back, run along with Captain Jack. Ba da, da, di, da, doe, ba, di, da, doe, ba, di, da, di, da, di, da, doe, ba, da, da, di, da, doe, left, right, right, left. Ba, da, ba, di, de, da, do, run along with Captain Jack!" Anna-Maria sighed,
"This is so strange," She muttered. I ignored her.
"COMPANY, ATTENTION! FORWARD MARCH!" Some crew members shook their heads but I continued, waving my hands around like a maestro.
"HEY HO CAPTAIN JACK!"
"Hey ho Captain Jack."
"BRING ME BACK TO THE RAILROAD TRACK!"
"Bring me back to the railroad track."
"GIVE ME A BOTTLE IN MY HAND!"
"Give me a bottle in my hand."
"I WANNA BE A DRUNKEN MAN!" I did the double air punch, still dancing.
"I wanna be drunken man." Some of the crew laughed and a few nudged Gibbs.
"LEFT RIGHT LEFT!"
"Left, right, left."
"THE MILITARY STEP!"
"The military step."
"THE AIR FORCE RAP!"
"The air force rap."
"THE SEVENTEEN IS THE BEST!"
"The seventeen is the best!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LEFT, GO RIGHT, GO PICK UP THE STEP, GO LEFT, GO RIGHT, GO LEFT!"
"Gooooooooooooooooooooo left, go right, go pick up the step, go left, go right, go left!" I cackled madly and some crew members joined. I beamed to see that they were all having some degree of fun either actually enjoying the song or thinking of ways to torture and kill me. I heard Anna-Maria suck in a deep breath next to me.
"We are running to the railroad track, run along with Captain Jack. Ba da, da, di, da, doe, run along with Captain Jack. Run into the peace camp back, run along with Captain Jack. Ba da, da, di, da, doe, ba, di, da, doe, ba, di, da, di, da, di, da, doe, ba, da, da, di, da, doe, left, right, right, left. Ba, da, ba, di, de, da, do, run along with Captain Jack!" she had sung a little louder then last time and I felt a bit giddy at all of this non-alcoholic, un-sexual merry-making.
"Last verse!" she bellowed. I grinned,
"HEY HO CAPTAIN JACK!"
"Hey ho Captain Jack."
"BRING ME BACK TO THE RAILROAD TRACK!"
"Bring me back to the railroad track."
"GIVE ME A WOMAN IN MY HAND!"
"Give me a woman in my hand!"
"I WANNA BE A FUCKING MAN!"
"I wanna be fucking man!" I heard a few "Ayes!" behind that.
"LEFT RIGHT LEFT!"
"Left, right, left!"
"THE MILITARY STEP!"
"The military step!"
"THE AIR FORCE RAP!"
"The air force rap!"
"THE SEVENTEEN IS THE BEST!"
"The seventeen is the best!"
"FORWARD, MARCH!"
"We are running to the railroad track, run along with Captain Jack. Ba da, da, di, da, doe, run along with Captain Jack. Run into the peace camp back, run along with Captain Jack. Ba da, da, di, da, doe, ba, di, da, doe, ba, di, da, di, da, di, da, doe, ba, da, da, di, da, doe, left, right, right, left. Ba, da, ba, di, de, da, do, run along with Captain Jack!" Anna-Maria turned a hilarious shade of pink when she realized that I wasn't singing with her.
"That's not funny girl!" She jabbed a finger in my face. I looked at her quite seriously before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Aha, ha, ha, ha! You guys were great!" I grinned.
"Music to me ears!" I turned to see Jack behind me, "Wonderful job, pet. I love it," and he gave me an unsuspected peck on the cheek. My hand instantly flew up to the spot and Anna-Maria smirked as I flushed.

I sat with Jack in his cabin as he shuffled through some maps.
"Can you read?" I asked, kicking my feet as I sat in my chair.
"Aye, comes with the job description of being captain." I snorted,
"I thought you said you weren't a scholarly man,"
"Just because a man can read, don't make him a scholar pet," There was a minute or so of silence before, "We have to stop in Tortuga for a couple hours,
"Por que?" I cracked my knuckles. Jack looked up and quirked an eyebrow,
"Por que," he began in very, very bad Spanish, "We need supplies,"
"Ah." I shifted, "I wonder what it'd be like to live in Tortuga…" The place seemed like so much fun. There was just something about that sorry excuse for a rock that seemed appealing.
"You wouldn't last a week in Tortuga by yerself," Jack snorted.
"I so fucking could!" I snapped. His quirked an eyebrow went higher, if possible.
"You mean to tell me, that you can handle lewd drunken men and strumpets that will only see you as competition?" I snorted,
"I've fought cursed pirates. How hard can this be?" Jack abruptly stood from his seat and strode over to me. Pinning me down in the chair, he leaned in and leered at me,
"It may be harder then you think love." His eyes were uncharacteristically cold and I inhaled sharply.
"I'll be fine," He swung back, walking to the door with his leisurely gait.
"I'll be back for ye in a week pet." And he slammed the door behind him.

Wow, who saw that coming? Ha, ha. I wanted to try something new.
