Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean. So don't sue me, cause I have nothing and it would be pointless.

A/N: This is basically the same story it was before it was updated, the only thing that changed was the name of the main character. Sorry for any confusion.

The first time Adrianna Sommers saw Jack Sparrow, she did not pay much attention. After all, pirates were common in Tortuga and another one really did not make much of a difference. Therefore, she happened not to notice the fact that he looked extremely unnerved, or the fact the he was walking much faster than most normal people would in on a relatively quiet market day. That is, she didn't notice until he ran her over.

"Oi!" They went down, slipping and sliding on the wet cobbled ground, limbs tangling together in a scrambled mess.

"Watch where you're going!" Adrianna sat up, glaring up at the man currently sitting on top of her. "And by the gods, will you get off of me!"

The man, to her annoyance, did not get up, instead staying sitting directly on her stomach.

"Sorry lass, wasn't watching where I was going. The name's Jack Sparrow, by the way." Adrianna gave him a glare worthy of the devil himself.

Adrianna Sommers. Now get off of me, or I will be forced to resort to physical violence."

Jack look amused, but got up nonetheless. And so ended the first encounter of Adrianna Sommers and Jack Sparrow.

Their second encounter was very similar to the first. Adrianna was serving in the tavern where she worked, and suddenly was sent flying forward by one of the many stools laying in seemingly random places around the room. She closed her eyes and braced for impact, but was surprised to find that she had landed on something distinctly human. Opening her eyes, she was surprised to see the man, Jack Sparrow was it? from the market a few days before grinning down at her.

"You know lass, we really need to stop meeting like this." As he spoke, Adrianna attempted to get off of him, but was having very little success, considering the fact that Jack was holding on to her waist.

"Of course we do. Now if you wouldn't mind letting me go….." She trailed off, obviously waiting for him to remove his hands. He didn't. Instead he stood up, bringing her with him, and lead her towards the bar.

"For saving you from what would surely have been a disastrous fall, I do believe that I deserve a drink. A mug of rum would be good."

Needless to say, all he got for this comment was a slap to the face, and a speech about not giving away free drinks to stupid pirates who do not have the sense to watch where they are going.

Jack winked and smiled. "That's ok love. They all come around eventually." He playfully swatted her bum.

Also needless to say, he received a slap for that particular comment.

Their third encounter was not much different, although with the same attitude on part of both of the participants.

This time, it was Jack who was startled by the encounter. Walking around the square, thinking of rum and wondering where his crew was, he was suddenly startled out of his musing with the sound of a screech and body flying to him and knocking him onto his bum.

He looked up wondering who his assailant was, and was highly amused to see the girl from the tavern. Grinning up at her, he suddenly realized that she was quite attractive. Normally he would go for a girl that looked like her, but with what he had seen of her temper he decided that that was probably not a wise idea. Although, she would be a challenge…

"I told yah, lass, they never stay away for long." As Jack teased her, Adrianna stood up and gave him a look that plainly said "Keep talking and I cut out your tongue." Jack never was good at taking hints, though, and continued to tease her.

"But I sure don't mind a pretty girl like you sitting on top of me. Of course, this would be much more fun if we were in a private place…" He trailed of suggestively, waggling his eyebrows at her.

And so Jack Sparrow was once again slapped by Adrianna Sommers. But if he had been paying attention, he would have noticed the small smile that graced her lips as she turned away.

The next encounter of the two was not for quite some time, but lasted far longer than either of them could have imagined.

The next few months were quite tame for Adrianna. Life in Tortuga did not change much, and aside from the occasional gossip of the sacking of Port Royal by the pirates of the Black Pearl, life was very boring. The same drinks were ordered, the same men were flirting, the same drunks were passed out in the same place, and the same women were with them. All was normal until that faithful day in mid August.

She was working at the bar, when suddenly she heard a voice that she should have recognized, yet had difficulty placing. When the speaking came into view, however, she quickly remembered who he was.

The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow.

Hoping to avoid being seen, she stayed on the other side of the room from where Jack and his companion were speaking, occasionally casting glances at the handsome blonde boy they had sent to the other side of the room. The owner of the tavern eventually came out and asked her to go serve the tables on the other side of the room, pointing them out to tell her where. Adrianna listened, and praying to all deities that ruled the skies, hoped that she would not have to serve his table. However luck was not with her, and he pointed to their table as the final table of the night. She nodded, and set off to serve the other tables, wanting to avoid having to serve them for as long as possible.

Finally all the other drinks had been served, and she was forced to go their table. Navigating her way through the drunken crowd, she reached them.

As she moved closer, she caught snatches of the conversation, with words of pirates, crews, and treasure being traded. When she entered within their sight, however, the men became silent. Putting on a smile used for her customers, she gave them their drinks and turned away, hoping that luck was with her and he would not remember her. However, as she had noticed earlier in the evening, luck was defiantly NOT with her, as a drunken man stumbled into her and sent her flying into the arms of Jack Sparrow.

For a moment he didn't recognize her, and then sudden recognition flashed across his features, and his face took on a self satisfied grin.

"Why is it, lass, that every time I set foot in this town, I end up catching you?" She huffed at that, and got up.

"Well if I remember correctly, the first time we met YOU ran into ME." Jack smirked.

"But that is still three out of four, love. But I do know a way you can make it up to me." Adrianna was wary. She did not want to become some type of common whore, but couldn't slap him until she heard his offer.

"We're setting up a crew to go after some treasure, and we're going to need a cook on our ship. Whataya say? Fancy some adventure?"

Well, that was unexpected. Adrianna thought as she considered his offer. Life in Tortuga WAS beginning to become quite dull, and really, she had always wanted to be a pirate. Admittedly she would be a cook, but it was better than nothing.

"Well then boys, if you're serious about your offer, I'll be glad to take you up on it. When do we leave?" Jack once again had that smug look on his face, and for the first time Adrianna wondered what in the world she would be getting into.

"Tomorrow, most likely. Since we only need to be staying here a night, we will need a room. Fancy giving us one?" She smiled and said she would try. Going over to the owner, she asked if there were any free rooms available, she received a nod and was told the cost. She then went back over to the men, whom, she realized, would soon be her crew mates.

"Well boys, you're in luck. There's still a room available. Of course, it'll cost you." After telling Jack the price, and laughing at the ridiculous expression on his face, she got the money and led him and the handsome boy she had noticed earlier up to their rooms. Adrianna thought it strange that the man they were speaking with wasn't coming, but kept her mouth shut. Ignoring Jack's wink, she went back downstairs and told the owner she was quitting. After a short conversation and receiving her money, she went back up to her room for the night for the last time. The next morning she was awake when Jack took them to the ship, and met up with the man from the last night whose name she found out was Gibbs. After watching as the woman named Annamaria slapped Jack for stealing her ship, they all boarded and set off for their adventure. As she watched the town of Tortuga slip away, Adrianna finally realized what she was leaving behind her home. And as she stood on the side of the ship, she decided it would probably be worth it. Well, hopefully.
