(yes, this is continued from the old POTC board. I am waiting for Jack's reply. I have begun the back in time process.)
A clock fell from above on to the ground outside the famous Turtogan tavern, the Faithful Bride. Out of the clock appeared a girl. The girl was mistaken by drunkards passing by as a boy with long hair, ignoring the strange sight of a cloak falling out of the sky. The girl got up and looked around herself. "Where am I?" she asked, brushing off her clothes. She then read a sign for the Faithful Bride saying the tavern was Turtoga's finest. "Turtoga..." She remembered her father telling her of this place, saying it was a pirate heaven. She walked into the bar to find a line of sailors waiting to talk to someone. "What's this for?" she asked a pirate in a deep hearty voice. "Captain Sparrow's hiring new crew. I don't know if he needs a cabin boy, but ye never know, lad," the pirate replied. She nodded and knew it was none other than her father in his past. She looked up to see a younger version of her father playing with his compass. He was still a pirate and she thought he looked much better than he did as she knew him. She smiled. The line continued to move. Finally she reached the table. Hector Barbossa looked up at her, for he was the one signing up the new crew. "Name?" he asked. She thought fast. "Felix Black," Robin replied in her hearty voice, thinking of her cat. "How old are you?" he asked her. "Tweleve, sir. Barely a man," she said, covering the highness of her manly voice. "Captain Sparrow, you need a ship boy?" Barbossa asked the young Jack Sparrow.

Jack was so carried away with messing arounsd with his compass, for a second, hge didn't even realise Barbossa was talking to him. "Mm? Oh right, yes." Jack finally clasped the lid of his compass down and slid it into his pocket. He then leaned forward over the table and further towards the 'boy' infront of him. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "And makes you think y'got what it takes?" He asked, peering closer at her face.

She stared at the man whom she knew would later become her father. Her feelings were jumbled between anger, sadness, and happiness. She moved over to him and bent forward so that only Jack could hear her. "I know things," she whispered to him in a dark voice. "Important things, about you and your future. If you wonder how, Tia Dalma sent me." She read part of Elizabeth's journal, which talked about Tia Dalma.Her voice went back to normal and she said: "I can read and write. I know Latin, Greek, French, and Spanish. I can navigate and fence (sword fight). I do not fear death. Good enough for you, Captain Jack Sparrow?!"

Captain Jack Sparrow's eyebrows raised at her saying that, he pulled away from the table. He drew back into his relaxed position again, his chair tilted slightly back and his arms crossed over one another behind hs head. Jack took a deep breath in still trying to figure out whether she did actually mean that or she was just making it up as she went along. "Well then," a smirk slicked Jack's lips, "welcome aboard." Maybe she did know something, maybe she didn't. He figured that he'd just have to take the 'boy' and just find out then wouldn't he?

Barbossa wrote her name down as part of the crew. "Now then," Barbossa said. "That's done. Now if ye'll excuse me, I'm going to get a bottle of rum." He got up and did so. Felix or rather Robin sat down next to Jack. "Your compass doesn't work ya know" she told him. "It points to what you desire, correct? And yet it can't point me to the thing that I desire most- the truth... Ouch!" She looked down at her hand. It was bleeding from when she smashed the clock in the Sparrow Estate. "Ye got a bandage on ye, fath- I mean Captain?"

Jack narrowed his eyes at her and released his arms from over his head. He glanced down at the blood on her hand. "I don't carry bandages love." He paused slightly after saying that and leaned closer, lowering the tone and volume of his voice. "So, 'ow exactly to you know these things then?" He asked, wondering what she could possibly say. Actually, now he leaned closer, she didn't look masculine at all, and actually he was sure he could see something familiar in her eyes.

She wanted to tell him everything. Truly she did. But then she thought over it and knew it would totally expose herself, Jack would probably either think she was drunk or crazy or he would believe her. She knew that she could alter the past entirely and that even her being there was a huge change to the past. "Let's just say a little robin told me," she said, keeping the truth locked inside her mind. She then realized he was a bit closer to her than she was a tad bit comfortable with. The only times Jack would get close to her like this was when he was scolding her or hugging and kissing her. But then she saw the look on his face and knew that look all to well. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him foreward and then whispered loudly into his ear: "Do you a problem with me, Captain?! If so, please share it!" She had seen Elizabeth do this sometimes to Jack in order to get Jack to pay attention to what Elizabeth was saying.

This took Jack by surprise, suddenly his wandering thoughts washed from his mind as he held his hands up in defence. "No, no problem." Jack whispered back tilting his head and narrowing his eyes while he watched her for a second in a bit of an awkward silence. "You can let go of me now." His hands still in the air, he peered down at her still fisting his shirt. He then glanced back at her gesturing with his eyes to let go. "Hm?" The Captain hummed impatiently, waiting for his release.

She let go. "Very good," she said. "My father taught me to never put up with any trash."

Jack eyed her up and down as he leaned away from her slightly. He was beginning to have doubts about bringing her onboard but she seemed to know things so he couldn't risk it. The Captain then turned to Barbossa. "Is that everyone?" He asked, refering to the crew. He scooped up his mug of rum in one hand whilst keeping the other firmly on the table for support as he tilted his seat back.

"Yes, Captain," Barbossa replied. "We can go now."
Robin opened up a journal-the journal of Elizabeth Swann to be more precise. The page Robin opened to was talking about the time Elizabeth spent with Jack stranded on the island with the rum. "Why's the rum gone?!" Robin suddenly laughed out loud. "I can actually see him saying that too."

"Right then, lets get out of 'ere." He picked up his mug for a final swig of rum, finishing it before slamming it back on the battered table. Jack then pushed himself to his feet and began casually waltzing towards the doorway. He spun on his heel before he reached it and raising a finger in the air, peering at Barbossa. "We 'av got enough 'supplies' ain't we?" He asked in a low soft tone, referring to the amount of rum they had onboard. That was the thing about rum, you could never have too much of it.

"You have enough to drink yourself to death," Barbossa replied sourly.
Robin closed the journal and walked up to Jack. "Where exactly are we going, Captain?" she asked. "Are you still looking for the heart of Jones? Beckett-"she then cut off because some shouting came from outside that tavern. People went screaming and starting fighting each other. Barbossa looked outside and saw the cause of chaos. "Say hello to Davy Jones's crew, Jack!" Barbossa snapped at Jack.
