Jack grinned at the sight of the delight of barbossa and started to eat his own pork with dignity. Then said at length, "So..." because Barbossa was too busy eating rapidly and was showing no sign of speech

Barbossa looked up with a long thin apple chunk half hanging out of his mouth he ate it as he looked up and replied "so..." his mouth still full of apple pie.

"um," said Jack. This was kind of awkward... "So, where do you want to plunder tomorrow?" he said brightly and suddenly. But before Barbossa could answer, a BOOM was shortly followed by a tremour that ran through the whole ship. "What the hell... !!" said Jack, he looked out of the window to see a ship sillhoutted against the silver sea, it's cannons were out and smoking. Jack abandoned his dinner and pelted out of the door to bellow at the crew and knocked over Barb's hat in the prosses, "Come on! We're under attack! Get the crew together for a fight!" shouted Jack, and ran out of the door and bellowed at the crew to get prepared for a fight. The deck was already full of panicked pirates handing weapons around and gunpowder and cannonballs to stack the cannons. Jack walked among the pirates sorting things out and then squinted at the enemy ship, trying to distinguish it.....

Barbossa picked up his hat, there was no way he was going into a battle without it, he stood up and walked out, a lot more calmly than Jack, he turned to see Jack staring at the ship he could tell he was trying to tell which ship it was "Arrrr that be the Flying Dutchman Jaaaack do ye not recognize it?"

Jack's eyes clouded with wild fear, he stumbled backwards away from the banisters - he had never EVER looked so scared. Jack fumbled for his sword, his hand shaking slightly, his eyes still unfocused.

Barbossa had never seen Jack like this, Jack always had a way out mapped out in his head, a plan, but now.... Barbossa walked towards Jack put his arm aroubd his shoulders and said quietly "It'll be alright Jack" he knew how much it annoyed Jack when he called him Jaaaaack, now was definatly not the time for that, Barbossa didnt even believe his own words, it was not going to be alright and they both knew it, nothing Barbossa said would take away Jack's fear right now.

Jack's eyes were still unfocused as he gave Barbossa a shakey grin and tried to pull himself together, without much sucess. He shouted at the crew to get the cannons ready and their swords drawn. He strode along the deck shakily, checking everything was ready, his eyes still troubled. The crew could tell what the Captain was thinking - they were doomed. But Jack held his head high and tried to hide his fear of the HORRIBLE Davy Jones...

Barbossa wasn't fooled by Jack, he could still tell he was terrified, Barbossa had a way out, maybe their only chance of survival. Barbossa walked quickly and calmly (it amazed even him how he was always able to stay calm, never showing his fear) "Jack, I've got a way out, the chest...." he started.

Jack stopped dead. "The what?" he cut across him in a whisper, not looking at him. "THE chest?" his voice was deadly. "What do you mean?"

"I mean the chest, the cursed aztec gold of Cortez, what other chest would save us?" He said quickly, annoyed that Jack didn't understand.

Jack stared out towards the Dutchman, then turned slowly to barbossa and a grin slowly spread across his face, like he had just been told that he had won a lifetimes supply of rum, then hugged Barbossa and said "Barbossa you genius!!!" then he pelted down the stairs, tripping over in the process, and ran to the lowest floor and searched frantically for the chest. He whipped off the cloth on top of it and opened it, rubbing his hand s together and took a coin, and instantly felt numb. Then he ran back up to deck to the crew, who were looking confused at this excitement. Jack then took one sailor at a time to get a coin so the Dutchman didnt notice anything.

Barbossa watched as the crew became cursed one by one, going down the stairs looking as any other pirate, then returning up as a skeleton, Barbossa hadn't yet gone down to get a piece for himself, he was thinking, why did he tell Jack? He could have taken one for himself and survived the attack and become captain of the Black Pearl once again, but he had instead decided to help another human being, and not any other, but Jack Sparrow! He put his hand tohis forehead to make sure he didn't have a temperature, he was sure that he was delirious, he didn't feel warm (ahhh how nice it was to be able to tell if he had a temperature, a thing most people took for granted) he stood in the middle of the deck, the crew were running around him madly, preparing for the battle, becoming cursed, but all Barbossa did was stand where he was in the middle of the deck looking confused, still trying to figure out why he had told Jack.

Jack looked at Barbossa, then said "Hey, if you want to survive this mate, you might want to get a coin..." he said, and walked off looking very skeletony in the moonlight. "hm, interesting...." he said as he walked. He had never got over how cool it looked to be cursed ^_^ Jack was now full of confidence and swagger, and he got his men lined up and sorted for the attack, however, the Dutchman had just given the Pearl a taster. It had waited long enough, and now it was approaching alongside the Pearl, with sea-creatury people standing and yelling at the Pearl while the Pearl's crew yelled back. "Quick mate! You're gonna miss it!" said Jack to Barbossa as he stood behind his crew yelling too

Barbossa hadn't been paying attention to what had been going on, he had been standing there staring at the stars with a puzzled look on his face, he walked quickly and calmly (as always) down to get a coin, he came back up in the same way to see what was going on.
