"Commodore! What about Sparrow?"

James paused with pensive eyes before casting them at his rather adamant lieutenant, "Oh, I think we can give him one day's head start."

The remark had left the young officer with jaw aflap and the commodore made his march away, unable to keep the shadow of a smirk off of his lips. Gillette didn't understand... he had no intention of letting the Sparrow out of his cage for good. He was going to get him, if it took sailing to the ends of the world.

The game would, no doubt, be long and gruelling...

'And for that reason alone, Sparrow and Gillette should both hold some measure of gratitude for this break. From henceforth, things aren't going to be as easily taken and given as before... The bar has most certainly been raised.'

"Mister Cotton is uncommonly quiet this morning, Gibbs. Any particular reason?"

"It's Parrot, sir."

"How's that, then?"

"He's gone missin'."

"I see." Jack paused, momentarily dispirited by the pronouncement. "Any thoughts on the matter?"

"Well, it seems he stayed ashore with some of the lads last night, and when they finally dragged themselves out of the Wicked Tinker near dawn, Parrot was not to be found among them. Missing in action, as it were."

At that moment, amid a great flutter of azure and gold, the parrot in question landed on the ship's wheel, a long scarlet feather clutched in his beak.

"Ahhhh," murmured Jack, with a knowing nod to the bird. "A trophy of your conquest, eh lad?"

"Drink up, me lovelies!" Parrot mumbled, then flew to the crow's nest for a much needed nap.

February 24, 2008 - One of the most spectacular Pirates of the Caribbean tales ever written, this is still a work in progress, but well worth reading, even so. We live in hope that Honorat will finish it one day!

~ A Pirate Walked Into A Bar ~

“Bloody Hell, Jack! Er….Captain, wha’happened t’yer jaw? S’more colors than a whore’s closet.”

“Just a misunderstanding, really. Feels far worse than it looks…OW!”

Gibbs winced. “Ye look terrible. Wha’ can I do f’yer, lad.”

“Just promise me…OW!”

“Anythin’!”

“….promise me, next time…OW!...next time I plan to do something stupid like jump out of the dark yelling “BOO” at someone… and then I walk into a bar… OW!”

The pummeled pirate grimaced and paused to spit out a gold tooth.

“Aye, Captain, next time ye walk into a bar…..”

“Make sure a blacksmith with no sense of humor isn’t holding it.”
