Everything is always Jack's fault, right? Well, during these adventures for the Fountain of Youth, Jewel and Jack will run into things that are in fact... Jewel's fault? Oh my. There are still adventures where it was caused by Jack, even though most of his deeds in the past have been paid off. But now, Jack has finally rubbed off on his daughter to the point where things will become her fault instead of his. What will the Sparrows do now?

Chapter 1

It had taken three days for the small dinghy to reach land of any kind. It was a blessing when the boat washed ashore on a white sandy beach. Jewel climbed out and just remained face down in the sand. Jack looked down at her, leaning on the boat.

"You alright luv?" he asked

"Mph mm mph hrmph hm." came her muffled replied

"... What was that?" Jack asked. Jewel pushed herself up.

"I've been missing land. Just what were the odds of 7 thunderstorms across three days? Seven!" Jewel said loudly, standing up and dusting herself off. Jack climbed out of the boat and leaned back. He stretched his spine until her heard a satisfying 'pop' and relaxed.

"A rather unfortunate series of events, wouldn't you say?" Jack asked

"Where are we anyway?" Jewel asked. Near the beach was a small town with a lot of buildings. Jack glanced at one of the taller buildings, and nodded when he saw a union jack waving in the breeze.

"This is not La Florida. That area is controlled by the Spanish." Jack explained

"For some reason dad, I'm not finding comfort in your words." Jewel said

"We shall go into the town and ask where we are then. Savvy?" Jack said. Jewel sighed.

"Savvy dad. But if I have to save your hide again, I'm leaving you." she replied

"Oh, you wouldn't do that." Jack said with a smile. Jewel thought for a moment.

"... You might be right." she finally said, "But, of course, it would depend on the circumstance." Jack chuckled slightly. There was a moment of silence after that. Jack cleared his throat and held his hand out toward the town.

"Well, after you luv." he said. He paused and leaned forward. "We are squared, aren't we?" Jewel chuckled.

"Of course dad." Jewel said, hugging him, "Now what's say you and I figure out just where we are and continue on with our adventure?"

"Brilliant." Jack nodded. They held hands then turned and walked to the town. Jack looked down at his daughter, but not by much. She had grown almost as tall as him now. She was sixteen years old. A growing young woman. And yet she was holding his hand like she was a child. It seemed that no matter how old she would be, in both of their hearts, Jewel would always be her father's little girl.

The town was busier than they thought it would be. It was a good thing they held hands, otherwise, they would have gotten lost in the crowds. After asking and asking, the Sparrow's finally recived an answer on their whereabouts. It was an island called Martinique. It was some distance away from Tortuga, but it was still nowhere near La Florida. Also, considering the island was controlled by the French, the two decided it would be best if they managed to find a way off as soon as possible.

Of course, being the pirates that they were, the Sparrows "shopped" in the market. Taking what they can, and what they needed as well, and giving nothing back. Along with the food and blankets they stole, they also lifted some jewelry, silverware, and other such shiny objects they would use to fund their adventure. The day was coming to an end though, and they had not found a good place to sleep for the night. With their stolen blankets, they made their own beds on the beach with their boat. It was actually more comfortable than either of them thought.

Even with their comfortable sand bed, they couldn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, they talked and stared up at the stars. They shared jokes and stories. Jack pointed at some of the stars, trying to remember the constellations he had learned about when he was a boy. He couldn't remember most of them though. Jewel chuckled and pointed out at least one thing with his knowledge of stars.

"At least you remember which one is the North star." she said

"Aye luv. If you know where North is, you'll always be able to find your way home." Jack replied with a smile. Jewel yawned and rubbed her eyes. She felt a cold breeze and moved to be with her father. He wrapped his arms around his daughter and pulled her close to keep her warm. It was like this did the Sparrow's finally go to sleep on the beach.

When they woke up, a dozen muskets and swords were aimed at them. The two blinked at the amass of weaponry around them. Jewel immediatly looked at Jack.

"What did you do dad?" she asked. Jack opened and closed his mouth shaking his head.

".. I'm... Not quite sure luv..." he said

"Did you come here before?" Jewel asked

"... Aye," Jack nodded

"Do you remember what you did?" Jewel asked, raising an eyebrow. Jack gulped.

"Aye." he answered. Jewel put a hand to her forehead.

"It has begun... Again." she sighed
