Gibbs had been under deck when all the commotion started & was now standing staring all around the deck wondering where everyone had gone. Just then he heard his name being called from inside the Captins cabin. He rushed inside the cabin, seen a very wet & angry Captain, then the menacing little monkey in his grip. He raised his eyebrows then exclaimed "Aye Cap'n!" then hurried off to fetch the cage.
When he returned he handed the cage to Jack then explained his absense.."Sorry Cap'n, I, errr, had gone below to look for, errr..." then he noticed the half empty bottle in Jacks hand "Rum!! I was look'n for rum to restock yer cabin, but we're all out...Best be mak'n a head'n for Tortuga the next pass'n fancy & nearest chance we get..."

Jack, still sopping and in a fuming temper, shoved the pesky monkey into the cage, bolted it with 3 different locks and bound it with a belt and then strode off to Barbossa's cabin and hung it in the doorway. Just then he wondered where Barbossa actually was... But this query was soon overcome by the news he had just heard "No rum??" he said wildly looking at Gibbs "To Tortuga then!" he shouted then started giving orders to make sail. Once done he stormed away to his cabin and sat down at his desk, tipped the chair back, put his feet up, and took a swig from the last bottle of rum he had left.
Later, just as the sun was setting, the man in the crow's nest shouted "Land ho!" and everyone looked over the horizon to see the lights of Tortuga glimmering in the distance. A huge cheer rose up from the crew - they had been at sea for longer than usual. Jack now walked out of his cabin (still damp) and joined the crew. A grin spread over his face as he saw Tortuga then shouted "Get moving you dogs if you want to get there by evening that is..." the crew moved with new heart and by the time the moon had risen, they were at port and everyone streamed off the ship and of course, into the pub. Jack held Gibbs back though "Get the rum" he said before sauntering off into the pub after his crew.

Gibbs excitedly hurried off the ship, with his feet directed to the nearest pub, when he felt Jacks hand clasping his sholder. His spirits dropped when he heard he had to fetch the rum, but Cap'ns orders! He hurried back under deck to make room for all the glorious rum &to find something to barter with, as they didnt have much silver....
Just then a huge grin filled his entire face & his eyes widened with excitement..."The monkey!! Hahaha! An undead monkey is sure to get us all the rum we could ever dream of!! & I'm sure Jack won't mind, in fact he'd be glad to be rid of the blasted thing!!!"He quickly dashed up to the deck & found the monkey randomly hanging....He didn't even notice whos cabin it was hanging outside of & he'd also managed to forget who the monkey belonged to in his giddy excitement thinking about all that rum!!!
When he finally got to the distillers he ordered all the rum they had. The seller demmanded to see the payment first, & was eager for the undead monkey after Gibbs had demonstrated how true this was after unloading his pistol in its head. After Gibbs had all the rum crates brought to the ship he called over his sholder "Oh, his names Jack" then sat down to begin relishing all the glory of the rum. "I should taste it to make sure its of the best quality" before helping himself to 3 bottles, out of the hundreds. He couldn't wait for Jack to return & see his marvelous work, & to find out the monkey wouldn't be bothering him again!!

(( woo! go gibbs!! )) Jack, with a small smile on his face, entered the pub and not to his surprise, saw that the whole place was in uproar. A fight had broken out, but this didn't put Jack off - he was far too used to it. He walked up to the bar and ordered a large bottle of rum. He handed over the gold then sat down with a few members of his crew who were all getting merry - Jack joined in quite happily, and not long after, they were all singing blissfully, arms around each other, completely oblivious to the fight around them which was becoming roudier (sp?) by the minute. Finally, at about 3 AM Jack managed to stumble out into the fresh, cool air outside the pub with his crew following, all in very high spirits, talking spiritedly and stumbling after their captian. Jack lead them all on board and then pulled up the gang-plank. Jack saw Gibbs nearby and said "Did you get the rum?" a little slurred, leaning towards him, breath heavy with the smell of alcohol

((Lol!!! Don't know where that story came from, I just thought "What would a pirate do??" & then i got a blurt of inspiration!! I felt bad for the monkey at first, but then thought it might be interesting to see where this one goes.....lol!! )) "Yo Ho!! *hic* Really bad eggs & a bottle of rum!!" Gibbs was singing merrily at the top of his lungs as he rested his empty bottle on his round belly feeling greatly contented with the world. But he jumped up to attention when he saw Jack & the rest of the crew boarding the ship. With his giddy excitement he scurried awkwardly toward them before trying to settle his eyes appon the real Jack Sparrow, as he was presently seeing double. "Rum!!!! Lots of rum!!!! More rum than you could shake a wet cat at!!!" He was exclaiming at the top of his lungs, but then quickly looked around him "SHHHHHHHH!!!! Keep your voice down!! You dont want the whole bleed'n island to hear you!!!" Gibbs, by this stage, had emptied 9 bottles, so was slightly delerious. Now whispering he said to Jack "Come & see for yourself..." before dashing off in the wrong direction. He eventually managed to find his way & lead Jack under deck. He held the lantern up to reveal the vast quantity of rum before them. "Amazing isn't it, what an undead monkey is worth these days?" He then began to retell his marvellous tale of how he acquired such a fortune, waiting for Jacks response....

Jack raised an eyebrow at seeing Gibbs in this state - worse than him! - then sauntered after Gibbs silently below decks, intrigued. When Gibbs opened the door of the Sacred Rum Store, his mouth dropped open. He stared around the long. dark roo, and saw crates upon crates of rum, of every variety imaginable, stacked up to teh celing, blocking out the walls. A huge grin spread acriss his face and he clapped Gibbs on the back heartily. "We'll be having a party tonight Mr. Gibbs!" then he grabbed the nearest bottle from a shelf and downed it. He grinned fiendishly as he handed Gibbs a bottle and said "Tell the crew, and help me with these crates will yeh?"

Gibbs laughed loudly when Jack clapped him on th back, & began to do a jig at the mention of a party!! He took the bottle Jack offered & began drinking with him & chuckling everytime he saw the rum around them "This is better than any treasure chest I could think of!" then he clinked his bottle to Jacks' in a toast "To Rum!"
He helped Jack up to deck with a few crates, taking their time, as they didnt want to drop it. Heaven forbid that they waste a single drop! After everyone had their fare share, Gibbs stood woobly on top of one of the crates to retell his marvellous loot. "So there I was, not two pennys to rub together to buy a spit of rum, when it hit me like a thunder bolt from the great Sea God of Atlantis himself!! The monkey!! It was bound to be wortha few bob to someone who knew the right folk to sell it to - those travelle'n folk, Cirque du Freak. People would travel far & wide to see an undead monkey..." Gibbs looked round at the sea of faces hanging on his every word. He was relishing the moment, it wasn't often people listened to him. "So, i says to 'em, Give me all the rum ye got in exchange for this magical mystical creature! it will provide you with luck, wealth & wenches galore!!.....And, well, we now have enough bottles to equate to oceans of rum!" Gibbs was exstatic when all the crew cheered & began to sing.....but then he began to feel slightly queasy. He looked at his half empty bottle thinking the rum was to blame...But then his eyes widened & his face turned white in terror. He had realised something, or rather, someone... He turned to Jack & exclaimed "BARBOSSA!!!"

((Haha I'm back btw from vacation!! This has gotten so much fun!!!! )) *Jack had fallen asleep in that retched cage before Gibbs had so rudely awakened him with a pistol shot through his undead body. He had tried to make enough noise to steer the merchant away from purchasing him, with no luck. The bloody pirate sold him for barrels of rum. Still in the cage, Jack tried to think of what to do, because there was no way he would be left here. Soon he was reaching out of the cage (now hanging in the merchants booth, grabbing the belt and pulling it close to start munching on.*

Jack followed Gibbs on deck with a few of the thousands of crates they had below. When Gibbs made his speech to the crew, a huge roar rose up from the crew and they began singing, drinking and a few of them got out an accordian and a flute and played in celebration. Jack smiled and raised a bottle to his crew and downed it, but as he looked up at Gibbs and saw his white, terrified face, and said the dreaded name, Jack dropped the bottle and it smashed. He bit his lip and looked around. Sure enough, submerged in the exstatic crew, barbossa was walking, or rather storming through the crowd, shoving pirates out of his way, his face like black thunder. He towered over Jack and Gibbs, a terrible blank expression n his face, though his eye twitched convulsively. Jack backed away slightly - he'd never seen Barbossa like this before..... "Rum?" Jack said tentatively, holding out bottle "Come to join our lil party eh? Heard what Mr Gibbs did, Barb?" Jack said, smiling as he took a swig of rum

((LOL, this is soooo freeky you wont belive it, Jack mentioned the flute playing, , & just by coincidence, my sister is practising her flute & its the potc theme song!!! how freeky is that!!!! Also, glad everyone is entertained & jack the monkey isn't mad at me!! lol!!))
Gibbs stepped back in fear along with Jack, nearly falling backwards over the empty crate behind him. Due to his drunken nature, he couldn't come up with anything to say, he simply squeaked. He stared nervously at Barbossa's twitching eye, quickly side glansed to Jack, before looking back at Barbossa. He was desperately searching his mind for a way out of this. He briefly considered returning the rum, but that was ridiculous!! & besides, they'd drunk more than they could pay for.....
"Eeeeeeeer, aah," Gibbs was stammering around for a word, before looking up at Barbossas burning eyes, gave a weak nervous smile before finally finding a word. ".....Whoops....."

((ok guys - i have to make this plain - Barbossa is my best mate and she doesnt have time to do this sometimes, and becos im a freak and i luv both barb & jack, i take over barb when the person who usually plays barb is busy, so that is why i randomly take him over sometimes, so yea. i just wanted 2 say that cos im kind of going against my own rules unless i tell u guys XD ))
Barbossa towered over Gibbs and Jack, furious with the pair of them but still felt most of his anger channeled at Gibbs and was glaring at him with venom.After a while he managed to say in a deadly whisper "You scum traded my monkey for... for rum? You BLOODY PIRATES!!" he shouted the last words and his eyes seemed to burn scarlet (voldemortish! O.o) as he drew his sword with the speed of lightning and he slashed at Gibbs creating a long gash on his chest, Jack jumped aside and said "Well, he's the captain..." and he staggered off (coward) still holding a bottle in his hand, saying "My hands are clean in this, Barbossa" and he raised his hands to emphansize this point. Barbossa whipped around to glare at Jack then the red light seemed to leave his eyes and he lowered his sword and an evil, smug expression crossed his face saying "Aye, I be the captain Jack..." and he looked around at his crew "Ye heard him! He's given up his position... to me." he smirked and gave orders to seize Jack as he was the newly instated captain. Jack, who had been heading off at ease towards his cabin, had already relised that he had made a mistake in saying 'he's the captain' and it wasn't with much surprise that the crew grabbed him. The crew didn't dare argue with Barbossa in this foul mood, nor would they otherwise, so they were as obedient as slaves when Barbossa ordered them to lock up Jack, their old captain. "I, I didn't actually mean that Barbo-" Jack stammered "Well, too late for that isn't it mate?" Barbossa said harshly. "Lock 'im in the brigg" he said to Gibbs. The crew looked to Gibbs for their leader, wondering if they should rebel or not...
