Everyone was already knocked out. The fire being put out and all is seen is smoke coming out of the burnt wood. And all is heard is the sound of the pirate crew snoring.
However, two didn't sleep. Jack and Lucy. The two were lying next to each other as they looked at the stars.
"The stars are so much brighter here... in my backyard it's hard to see even a couple of them." Lucy says.
"The Caribbean is the best place for star gazing. Much more stars and are brighter." Jack explains.
"I've never done this before." Lucy whispers.
"What?"
"Star gazing. With someone else, I mean. I usually did this by myself. I never thought it would be this fun with another person."
Jack smiles. "Happy to know I make things fun for you." Lucy chuckles.
She then faces Jack. "Jack?"
He faces Lucy. "When I told you my name... you looked shocked. Why?"
"Light, is ye last name, right?" Jack asks. Lucy nods. "Light is the last name of two very famous pirates."
Lucy's eyes widened. "Pirates?" She whispered.
Jack nods. "Sarah and James Light. They were pirates." Lucy looks deeply into Jack's eyes. "Do you know anything about them?" She asks in a whispered tone.
"Only little things. How they were very talented pirates. They were expecting a child, then suddenly... nobody heard from them again."
"Because they were murdered..." Lucy whispers.
Jack can see the glisten in her eyes, like if she's about to cry. Jack wasn't expecting her to say they were killed, but he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
"Do you know who did it?" Jack asks.
Lucy shakes her head. "I don't know... I wish I knew. All I knew was.." Lucy puts her hand where her cut hair is. "They wanted my hair.."
Jack started to feel bad. He was in search of the youth flower, and yet he found it, and somehow he felt guilty about even finding her and having her in the crew even if he didn't know she was the flower.
Lucy then shows her necklace. Her golden necklace with a skull and symbols on it. "My parents gave me this... I didn't know what it was or why they gave it to me, but I wear it all the time to show that they're always with me.."
"That's a pirate necklace.." Is all Jack said. Lucy slowly put the necklace down not looking away from Jack. "Pirates in your blood. That's why you're good at it..." Lucy smiles at his words.
"You don't think we're using you, do you?" Jack suddenly asked. He definitely feels like he worried that Lucy will think they're only having her around for her abilities - even though they didn't know about it till a few hours ago.
Lucy looks at Jack, then softly smiles. She shakes her head. "No." She softly replies. Jack smiles back.
That's when Lucy closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. Jack felt bad that she was just in a thin dress out in the cold, so he took off his jacket and laid it over Lucy like a blanket.
~~~
Somewhere far away, in the middle of the ocean, three pirate ships emerge from the water. One ship filled with barnacles, sea weeds, and dead corals. The ship looked worn out and old. The Flying Dutchman... the captain of the ship being a large "man" with tentacles and crab like arms - Davy Jones.
The one in the middle looked completely broke and like if it was on fire. Many holes in the ship and the sails having burnt marks and holes in them. The man who leads the ship wearing a burnt and torn up navy outfit, half his face was burnt, and his eyes looked dead. Lord Beckett..
And the last ship looked like a flying haunted ship wreck. The ship was black and white and glided like if it wasn't alive and just floated on water. The captain of the ship having wavy hair that looked like it flowed under water even though they aren't, his skin pure white with black crack all over him. His eyes dead and his teeth looked like he swallowed ink. Salazar...
The three of them looked at each other and grinned. They're finding what they were revived for. Jack Sparrow or Lucy Light.
~~~~
The crew was hungry and needed to eat, however they couldn't go back to their ship yet due to the guards likely either going around patrolling areas or might be patrolling the ship itself.
So they had no choice but to try and hunt for food. Jack heard something behind it and sighed. "Three... two... one..."
"Gotcha!"
Jack moved to the side as Lucy came in and swung her sword but missed and fell to the floor. "Jack?" She said confused.
Jack stands in front of her with a little grin. "You're very bad at hunting, ya know that, right?"
Lucy groans as she stands up. "No, it's not that. I love animals! The last thing I want to do is kill one.."
Jack puts his arms out. "Pirates gotta do what we gotta do to survive in the Caribbean, love. People will go as far as eating long pork to survive."
Lucy's eyebrows went up. She heard about what long pork in books. "Long pork... that meant.. human meat? Right?"
Jack nods. He waves his hands. "Not saying I've tried it or anything, but just so you're aware of the struggles with pirate life. This wasn't gonna be an easy road, darlin'."
Lucy chuckles as she puts a strain of hair behind her ear. "Okay then, Captain." She says going up to Jack, their faces very close to each other. "Show me how it's done."
Jack grins with a small chuckle. Jack and Lucy look at a distance seeing a couple birds fly away. Which means something is there, like prey - or maybe.. food.
Jack takes out his sword as he takes a few steps forward. "Watch and learn." He whispers.
Jack slowly goes up towards the bushes, then he sprinted and he was about to swing his sword when—
"AHHHH!"
He stops in his tracks as he sees Ragetti yell in fear as he falls to the floor putting his hands up. "Please don't hurt me! I know we're all hungry, but is cannibalism really something you wish to do?! I might not even taste good!" Ragetti exclaims in fear.
Jack the whole time looked at him in utter confusion. Lucy comes running in. "Ragetti?" She questions. Jack puts his sword away.
"Oh, Lucy!" Ragetti stands up and dusts himself. "Were the both of you also hunting?"
"Yeah, we thought you were an animal." Lucy goes up to Ragetti and ruffles his hair. "I hope Jack didn't scare you too bad."
Ragetti chuckles as he scratches his cheek. "No, no.. I'm all good." He replies shyly.
Jack couldn't help but feel uneasy about Lucy being friendly with Ragetti, but he shook it off. She's just friendly... it's nothing to worry about.
"What were you even doing?" Jack asks Ragetti. "Oh! Well, Pintel and I were walking when we found a pile of food. But when we tried grabbing it, a group of raccoons surrounded the food and took it! We tried chasing them but..." Ragetti turns around as Jack and Lucy also look.
The three look at Pintel sitting on the floor, who groaned tiredly as he's surrounded by raccoons with some even on him, as the little creatures eat away the food. "I'm gettin' tired... these raccoons ain't gonna budge."
Lucy chuckles as Jack, Ragetti and her get closer to Pintel. Lucy bends down to observe the raccoons. "For wild raccoons they seem rather domesticated. They tend to run away from people and will even bite if threatened." Lucy explains.
"So they don't see us as a threat?" Jack asks. "Basically.." Lucy says. "Either that or they were tamed by someone here."
That's when one raccoon straightens its back and faces at Lucy. This got the attention of the group, as they watch the raccoon go up to Lucy and tap her hand. "Hi.." she whispered.
The raccoon then grabs an apple that was on the floor and hands it to her. "For me?" She asks softly. The raccoon tilts its head, as if it's replying to her.
Jack and the duo were stunned. "Unbelievable.." Ragetti says. "Ye some kind of animal whisperer?" Pintel questions.
"I-I don't think so." Lucy stuttered. "I mean... when I did go out, animals were always friendly with me, they did bring me gifts but..."
Lucy looked at the apple then back at the raccoon. "Do you think you could lead us to more food? For my crew and I?" Lucy asks.
The raccoon suddenly went up to the other raccoons and made its raccoon noises getting their attention. They all look at it and suddenly they started running off.
Lucy and the boys looked at each other. "Follow them!"
The four follow the raccoons. They climbed up trees and even picked out foods that are edible to eat. Once they picked the food they handed it to the four, quickly putting it in Lucy's bag to hold their rations.
Eventually, they followed one raccoon, the one who first answered Lucy. "Follow it!" Pintel said. The four of them follow the raccoon who went past the bushes.
However, once the three past the bushes, their faces drop as they find five navy men. "Uh oh.." Ragetti says.
"Get them!" A navy man yelled.
The four pirates then yelled in fear, quickly turning around to run away. The raccoon even following them. Lucy quickly grabbed him as her, Jack, Pintel, and Ragetti ran for their lives.
The navy men fired their guns but luckily kept missing.
Lucy then sees a turn. "This way!" Lucy yells then takes a turn, with Jack and Pintel and Ragetti following behind.
The navy men followed them as well, but they didn't know that the four pirates hid in a hidden hole in the stone wall of a mountain. The navy men passed right by them.
The four of them were pretty squeezed in. Pintel and Ragetti crouched in front of Jack and Lucy who were shoulder to shoulder. The four of them laughed. "What a blast!" Lucy says in excitement.
"Oh... sorry..." Pintel replies then embarrassingly smiles. They laugh again at Pintel's joke.
"Hey, you're an amazing pirate, Lucy!" Ragetti compliments. "Yeah! You're alright, kid." Pintel also compliments.
Lucy smiles. "Thanks guys.." Lucy replies softly.
The four of them then proceed to try and get themselves out of the small stoned hole. Ragetti being the skinniest, pulled himself out first and easily then grabbed Pintel's arms to pull him out.
Jack and Lucy try to get themselves out, however, they didn't notice that they were getting closer and closer together as they squeeze through.
That's when it happened. Jack and Lucy's faces were getting closer and closer. Their eyes were closed as they felt their lips touch but they didn't kiss, they immediately realized what happened and moved their faces away.
Their faces obviously pink from blushing. The two couldn't help but softly chuckle at each other. "S-Sorry.." Lucy shyly apologizes.
Lucy got out first then Jack. The two couldn't stop chuckling like dorks. Once the two were out, they also couldn't stop looking at each other.
"Oi!" The two turned to see Pintel and Ragetti. "You two coming or what?" Pintel questions.
Jack and Lucy smile at each other then followed behind Pintel and Ragetti.
Back with the crew. They brought back the rations they got from the raccoons.
As Scrum nearly tried to eat a ration, Lucy snatched it from him. "You really thought you were eating it the way it is?" Lucy questions.
"Uh... yeah?" Scrum replies back confused.
"You know how to cook?" Elizabeth asks as she hands Lucy rations her and Will found.
Lucy nods. "Yeah of course! I wasn't just laying around my home doin' nothin."
As Lucy cooks up a stew, Barbossa walks up to her. "Here." He hands some seasoning. "Jack happened to have this in his bag."
"Great!" Barbossa stares at Lucy as she put the seasoning in the stew. She stirs the food. Lucy notices Barbossa staring and gives a small smile.
"Barbossa, was it?" She asks. He nods. "Aye. Hector Barbossa." He introduces as Jack the monkey goes on his shoulder.
"Your monkey?" She asks. "Jack. We named him after Jack Sparrow." Barbossa says.
Lucy chuckles as Jack the monkey runs off Barbossa and onto Lucy's shoulders. Barbossa was rather surprised seeing this happen, then he saw Lucy's necklace - then it clicked.
"I assume you've known Jack the longest here?" Lucy's voice snapped Barbossa out of his train of thought.
He nods. "Aye. Was his first mate, before I marooned him and tried to kill him. Twice."
Lucy raises an eyebrow as she still stirs the stew. "Long story. It correlates to why we named the monkey Jack." Barbossa says.
"I bet every pirate here has an amazing story..." Lucy says. "Meanwhile my greatest story is of me living in a house for nearly 30 years.."
"But you got out." Lucy looks at Barbossa as he continues to look at her. "And now you can create a story for the ages."
Lucy smiled at that thought. "I wonder what Jack's stories are like... I've only ever heard his name and little things here and there about him from people around town but... I don't know... something about Jack intrigues me."
Barbossa then grins. Time to light the wood to create the flame. "You like him."
Lucy snaps her head at Barbossa as she has pink tinted cheeks, she couldn't help but scoff. "Oh, you're also a jokester too?"
"I'm being serious." Barbossa replies still having a smug smile.
"What makes you think I like Jack?" Lucy questions as she grabs an apple.
"Well, he intrigues you is a start." Lucy rolls her eyes at Barbossa's words. "You tend to follow him like a puppy, and you offered yourself to his crew. Most wouldn't do that. Especially all the women in Tortuga wouldn't."
Lucy looks down at the apple longingly. "I was told he was a lady's man." Lucy looks at Barbossa. "Womanizer is what is called?" She tosses the apple to Barbossa who catches it.
"Aye. But I'll tell you one thing." Lucy listens very closely to Barbossa's words.
"The way Jack treats you is different. Not just the way he treats but even the way he looks at ya. Not just to women but people in general. He looks at you... like your treasure."
Lucy's face showed confusion. "Like treasure?" She whispered.
Barbossa nods. "Aye. Like if ye are the only thing that matters in the world..."
Then, Barbossa leaves, with Jack the monkey following behind.
Lucy couldn't help but look at her reflection in the strew. She remembers when she looked into Jacks eyes and saw herself.
Like if I'm the only thing that mattered...

"How exactly will we find them?" A crew member asks the three resurrected pirates. Davy Jones, Beckett, and Salazar.
"The gems created a wave of aura that resurrected us. We will find them by their aura." Salazar explains.
He turns towards a direction and grins. He points at the distance. "That way..."
Beckett puts his hands behind back. "I'm sure Jack will be delighted the see us."
Davy Jones chuckles. Beckett looks at him confused. "What?"
Jones looks at Beckett. "Do you even understand why we're back?" Jones asks.
Beckett smiles. "No. Did the devil happen to tell you why?"
"There is only one way for all of us to be resurrected at the same time." Jones states.
Salazar faces Beckett and Jones. "The Lovers Gems.."
Beckett has a face of confusion. "The Lovers Gems? I thought that was just a myth?"
Salazar chuckles. "No, me boy. They are in fact real, and is the reason we are resurrected."
Jones walks up to Beckett. "Which means... Jack has found his soulmate."
Beckett laughs. "Jack Sparrow... found his soulmate?" He grins evily. "This shall be fun."
