The next morning Demi was up bright and early. She was a bit nervous since today would be the day that the Black Pearl would sail off, with her aboard, going hopefully towards Shipwreck Island to find her real parents.
Demi grabbed a piece of bread in the galley and started chewing. She figured she would go updecks soon to help around and get a good headstart on the labour they would have to do all day, and probably night as well.

Jack groaned and raised a hand to cover his eyes as the light came through the small window in his cabin, confused as to why he was in his own bed. He had a slight twing of a hangover, but nothing he wasnt used to. Jack slipped on his boots and found his hat.
Glancing out of the window, Jack could tell by the position of the sun that he had slept late and the crew would be beginning to board again.
He headed out to the main deck, temporarily forgetting about the girl he'd allowed on board the night before. Jack went straight to the helm to give the crew their orders.

Demi finished her minimal breakfast and then went updecks while she put her hair in a ponytail. She looked around the deck and pretty soon discovered Jack to be at the helm. She passed several working men to get to Jack "Morning Captain, what can I do ?" she asked him, wanting to start working immediately.

Jack jumped slightly when she came up beside him. He stared at her frowning, the fog in his mind slowly clearing as he started to remember who she was. "Right. Yes." Jack said. "Um... you can ..." He said, tapping a finger on his chin, glancing around the deck trying to come up with something she could do. She was a woman, and had no experience on a ship, Jack wanted to give her something of little importance without her realising and being insulted, or more likely, he just didnt want to get slapped.
"I want you to ... go below deck ... get the supplies list from Mr Gibbs ... and count the supplies. Make sure everythings there." Jack nodded. "We cant leave unless we know we've got enough supplies," Jack added, trying to make it seem more important. "You can count, right?"

Demi smirked and nodded "Yes I can count, I've had some home-schooling yknow, you didn't hire a complete imbicile" Demi wasn't aware of the fact that most scoundrel pirates did not know how to count or read, she was rather ignorant to the 'real' pirate life, the rough and tough one.
"W-where eh.. is our eh, destination captain? or may I not know?"

"Our destination ..." Jack said, reaching his hand inside his coat to touch the map. "... is Shipwreck Cove," Jack sighed. He really didnt want to make the visit to the Island of Shipwreck and face his father again, but he was the only one Jack could think of that might be able to interpret the damn map. Why were these things so maddeningly unhelpful? "Any complaints?" Jack said, hoping she could give him a good reason not to go.

But Demi couldn't, in fact she was very happy to go to Shipwreck Cove..
"No.. no not at all actually. I think shipwreck cove is a wonderful destiny" She smiled and then turned around, walking away from the helm towards below decks, leaving Jack without a clue as to why she actually wanted to go to Shipwreck Cove.
"I'm looking for mr. Gibbs!" Demi shouted below decks. Some crewmembers pointed into the direction of the galley where she found him.

Jack frowned, the girl was odd to say the least. He didnt know many people who knew of Shipwreck Island, only those who knew of, or were one of, the Pirate Lords and this girl had never even been off land before. He wondered why she had looked so happy when he'd mentioned the cove.
"I'll never understand women," Jack muttered to himself and pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind, he had more important things to think about right now. Jack pulled the map out of his coat and layed it out next to him while he stood at the helm.

"You must be Mr. Gibbs" Demi said to a man trying to drink from his small bottle of alcohol secretely.
Gibbs quickly hid the bottle "Y-yes I am! and.. who might you be?"
"I'm Demi Jones.. I'm a new crewmember. the Captain asked me to count all the supplies, I need the supplies list from you"
"...is he insane?" Gibbs muttered women aboard bring bad luck, he should KNOW that by now!. "Here's the list" Gibbs said as he took a piece of paper from out of his pocket "Gallies' one stares below in the storage room."
"thanks" She took the paper and turned around, leaving the galley.
".. and welcome aboard.." he grunted[/color
Demi went to work and did not return back updecks until about one hour and a half later.

Jack was shouting orders at the crew as they got ready to set sail when Mr Gibbs came up beside him.
"Jack," Gibbs whispered. "There's a woman aboard,"
Jack smirked slightly. "Yes, I know,"
"Why? You know they're back luck!"
"Superstition, mate," Jack waved his hand at him.
"The crew wont be happy about this," Mr Gibbs muttered to himself but went away to carry on with his work.
Jack laughed a little, shaking his head at Mr Gibbs.
"All hands!" Jack shouted. "Raise the sails! Life the achor!" He ordered, and the crew ran about to fullfill the orders.
