I am Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?

Two months later, in Celestia's chambers at Canterlot

Celestia sits at her desk and looks through various papers regarding matters she must deal with due to the griffons' increase of hostilities towards her ponies when she sees a scroll with the griffon's king's seal on it. She opens it up to see that it is a declaration of war, causing a tear to fall from her eye and onto the desk saying, "Can things get any worse than this, how are we going to win a war against their armada? Is there a way for us to match them in strength?" Just then she raises her head up as an idea comes to her and makes her way from her room to Jack's guest room in the castle when she hears moans and brief screams of pleasure, causing her to sigh in irritation and enters the room to see another staff member having intimate relations with her guest as her mane begins to smoke saying, "Captain Sparrow, must you have relations with every female staff member!?"

Jack lies under his recent romantic acquaintance and looks around her to the princess currently standing in the room near the door and smiles saying, "When I have so much love to give, wouldn't it be a crime not to share my love with other ladies? Would you care to join the other ladies and experience the love I have to share?"

The mare's face turns beet red in embarrassment as the princess stands in the room, seeing her in her naked state, and scampers off of him, collecting what clothing she can find before bowing to her and racing to the door squeaking out, "Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

She narrows her eyes at him and says, "I find it quite annoying to see that dopey, doe-eyed, love-struck expression on the faces of the mare staff throughout the castle. What happens when some of them become with foal, will you be there to help raise them?"

He twirls a black lace pair of panties around his right forefinger and grins saying, "Alas, I would never allow myself to be so foolish as to beget a child. Just one of me is enough for this world, or it would bring mayhem to this world. Besides, they don't complain because I make it all about them. Umm miss, I believe you are missing something."

Celestia's face turns into a scowl as the mare gasps and runs back to snatch her undergarment, then runs out the door and closes it behind her. She stomps towards him, placing her hands on her hips as she stands a few feet away from the bed and looks away saying, "I wouldn't dare to even try, for I may catch some disease you may have picked up from your previous relations." She looks at him from the corners of her eyes and says, "Did you know that mares are naturally drawn to the desire of raising foals? Denying them that makes them want it even more, but I am here because the griffons have declared war on Equestria. I would like to enlist your services in handling the threat at sea while I form an army to face them on land."

Jack places a hand to his beard and strokes it saying, "Trifles, what a predicament you find yourself in. What's in it for me?"

She looks back to him for a moment and says, "You're such a scoundrel, however, there is a reward of two thousand bits if you can influence them to call off the war or surrender. Does that interest you?"

He thinks on it for a moment and says, "It does indeed interest me, although I shall have to travel to Baltimare to see what the status of my ship and crew are." He gets off the bed and makes his way towards her, then stands next to her and wraps his arm around her back. He then turns his eyes to her and says, "You know, if you despise being cooped up in this castle all the time, you could take a vacation and experience the freedom of sailing the seas with us for a time. After my crew and I bring an end to this war, of course."

Celestia blushes and pushes him away, narrows her eyes and looks down to where his pants should be, and clears her throat saying, "I will gladly consider your offer if you would kindly obey my request to put your pants back on and clothe yourself.

Jack looks down at what the princess is looking at, and remembers that he is as naked as a newborn baby, and leans in saying, "Not ashamed of the goods love, but for you, I will clothe myself."

She looks away and coughs as a blush rises to her cheeks and says, "I would appreciate that and shall prepare a chariot for the two of us. I wish to see the progress being made on your ship, from how you talk about it I assume that it is a very beautiful sight to behold."

Jack looks to her and nods his head saying, "Indeed she is a beautiful sight to behold, do you know what a ship truly signifies to me, Celly?"

She cocks an eyebrow and says, "What is that Jack?"

He returns to the bed and starts to clothe himself and looks out the window saying with a sigh, "It signifies freedom, to do what you want and when you want. Not having to answer to anybody, or to obey their orders. You are free to make your own choices, take whatever you want because you want it and no one in the world can force you to think it's wrong."

Celestia looks away and rolls her eyes saying, "I shall consider it and give you my answer when you successfully deal with the threat from the griffon armada, so finish dressing and join me out front."

An hour and a half later, At the Baltimare port

Jack exits the chariot to see the Black Pearl sitting in the water beside a new dock with three masts once again, having gold trim around the ship and the windows where it used to be at one time before she burned saying, "There she floats, just the way she was at one time. Those griffons will end the war when she sails the seas and displays the power she holds." He then turns around to look at her and leans in closer whispering, "You know love, I can sense that you long for the taste of freedom. Once you get a taste of it, you will find yourself drawn towards it and unable to let go."

Celestia looks at Jack and asks, "Can you show me what your ship looks like fully repaired? I went onboard the day you arrived here when you left with the healers for your injuries. I apologize for trespassing on your ship, I stayed out of the room with the door and hope you can forgive my curiosity."

He chuckles and looks back to her and says, "Nonsense, no harm was done and you satisfied your curiosity. You show good judgment by staying out of the Captain's Cabin, for permission is required to enter or the punishment is five lashes. Follow me and I shall give you a tour of the nigh-uncatchable, infamous Black Pearl." He then makes his way towards the Pearl, looking over the sides of the ship more closely.

She follows him along the wharf to where the ship is moored, seeing the enlarged drydock beginning to craft the framing of a new ship design thanks to Jack's assistance. She looks to Jack and asks, "I must ask, why is the ship completely black except for the trim?"

Jack smiles and says, "Simply because I like the dark look, and it makes us nigh-undetectable at night." He steps onto the deck of the ship saying, "Normally it is bad luck to bring a woman on board, but I'd be willing to take a chance with you, Your Highness?" as he extends his hand out to her, looking deep into her eyes.

Celestia smiles and takes the offered hand and says, "You clean up pretty well when you want to impress, where does the tour begin?"

Gibbs carries a crate containing a weighted fishing net when he looks to the Black Pearl to see Jack leading the princess around the top deck as his eyes widen saying, "What in tarnation are ya thinkin' bringin' a woman on board Cap'n! I don't like it one bit, not one bit, 'tis bad luck... I sure hope Jack knows what he's doin'..." as he leads her down to the deck below when he grumbles to himself and returns to his task, and hurries along to deliver the crate to find out what the captain plans to do.

He gestures around the gun deck saying, "This ship carries 32 thirty-two pound cannons, which are used to fend off any attacking ship. It also serves as the crew's quarters at night, there are hammocks that are hung from the rafters above which are tucked away when not needed. We are able to fire a variety of munitions such as grapeshot, round shot, chain shot, or even shell shot. She has survived several battles in the other world, and I am determined to see her survive many more." He then leads her down to the lowest deck and says, "This is the hold where we use it mostly as storage for the munitions, food, and most importantly to us, rum."

She looks at the various crates placed around the cannons holding powder charges and empty trays to hold the shot requested, as she starts to imagine the devastation these could wreak against other ships and follows him down into the hold of the ship. She sees several barrels and crates sorted around the deck as well as a few cells towards the back of the ship and asks, "Are those jail cells at the back of the ship?"

Jack looks to the cells at the back and nods his head saying with a chuckle, "That is the brig back there, and they do lock Your Highness, would you like me to clap you in irons?"

Celestia narrows her eyes at him and says threateningly, "Thanks for the offer, but I am a royal princess of Equestria. I will permit that on the condition that you allow me to clap you in irons, then toss you into the dungeon under the castle in Canterlot, would you like to experience that?" She taunts him and starts to make her way towards the cells in a slow stride while waiting for his answer.

He takes her hand and pulls her toward him quickly, catching her around her waist to prevent a fall. He looks into her eyes and says in a low voice, "Right then, let's just forget I mentioned the irons love. Since there is nothing else of importance down here, allow me to show you to my cabin."

Her breath hitches in her throat at being spun around and held closely, briefly looking off to the side and replies, "I-I would like to see the inside of a captain's cabin from another world, you can l-let me go now."

Jack releases his hold on her and makes his way towards the stairs saying, "Let us conclude this tour of this marvelous vessel, shall we? Please follow me to the captain's cabin where I have dinner, look at charts as well as plan voyages and sleep."

Celestia follows him up the stairs as a soft smile makes its way onto her face thinking, 'I think it would be rather nice to get to know more about this human, some companionship is better than being alone my entire life.' As she follows him into his cabin, she sees that it has many fine, high-quality furnishings including a fair-sized dark oak table with golden trim and an ornate chandelier hanging from the rafters above. A long desk made of the same dark oak wood as the table sits along the left wall with a globe sitting in the front corner, she looks to the right side of the cabin to see a couple of chairs with leatherbound backs and cushions with a bed large enough for two occupying the opposite corner having a red duvet, a white top sheet partially folded over the top edge of the red duvet, a white base sheet with a couple of black pillows lying at the head of the bed. She turns her attention to the far back and sees a large desk with an inkwell and quill sitting on top along with a small stack of unused parchment, she remembers that he called the vessel infamous and asks, "Why did you call this the infamous Black Pearl, Jack?"

Gibbs makes his way onto the Black Pearl silently, wanting to figure out what the captain's intentions are and positions himself beside the open door to listen in on their conversation thinking, 'Alright Cap'n, let's see what your real intentions are...'

He runs over and jumps onto the bed in a stretched-out position on his side, propping his upper body up with his left elbow and looks into her eyes saying, "I have something I would like to share with you love, so come here and sit with me."

She thinks for a moment before curiosity gets the better of her, wanting to know more of the history surrounding this mysterious man. Finding herself captivated by his alluring and mysterious nature, she makes her way towards the bed and sits down at the end of the bed. She turns her head to him and looks into his eyes and says, "Okay, what is it that you wish to share with me, Jack?"

Jack sits up and takes off his hat, setting it beside him and says, "I have a confession to make love, I am a pirate. Not just any pirate, but a captain of a pirate ship. The reason I called this vessel the infamous Black Pearl is because of the many adventures we have endeavored on this ship. I find myself inexplicably drawn to you, are you able to look past the fact of me being an infamous pirate captain?"

Celestia is shocked by the revelation of him being a pirate, causing her to contemplate her feelings towards him and what she should do. She looks around the room trying to come to a decision and turns her head back towards him, looking into his eyes tenderly and says, "I am curious about where our relationship will go, however, I must be cautious and ensure that none of my subjects learn of our relationship or they will cause an uproar."

He then smiles and slowly moves his right hand to her cheek and strokes it lovingly saying, "Then we best make sure they don't learn about us and take the necessary precautions." He then slowly pulls her towards him for a kiss, tilting his head slightly to the left, and leans in towards her.

Gibbs stares on in shock at what he just heard and thinks, 'Ahh, now I understand his intentions, I'd best take my leave and give those two time alone. I do wonder if Jack plans to set sail sometime soon if we're going to start making the coin to pay for the extensive repairs.' He then quietly makes his way off the ship to return to his duties and for the captain to inform him of his plans.

She leans in the rest of the way and kisses him on the lips when she feels his lips part as his tongue touches her lips and parts hers in turn as she feels his right hand slide down from her cheek and around her shoulders, she lets out a gentle moan as he pulls her closer to him and slips his tongue into her mouth. She closes her eyes as she slides her tongue against his, turning her body to face him, and wraps her arms around his waist. As she feels his left hand slide up to her left ear and starts to gently massage the sensitive edge along the bottom, she breaks the kiss and heatedly breathes out, "Oh Jack, don't stop, my love."

Jack kisses along her cheek and pulls the tip of her other ear into his mouth with his right hand, beginning to lightly suck on it when he hears her gasp in pleasure and grip his back a little firmer. He then places his right arm behind her back and his left behind him and pulls away from her, romantically saying, "Come hear my love, let us continue the pleasure." and starts to lay back, pulling her towards the bed beside him.

Celestia feels him start to pull her towards the bed and puts her right arm out against his chest and stops her descent saying with a light chuckle, "Easy there casanova, I think this is a good place to stop and take it slow. We are just starting to get to know each other after all. Thank you for being honest with me, I look forward to spending more time with you...pirate. By the way, shouldn't you be gathering your crew and supply for your current task at hand?" She then sits back up and stands up off the bed, making her way towards the door with a little sway in her walk as she hums happily.

He then sits on the edge of the bed and returns his hat to his head saying, "Aye, that I do...my princess. Those birds won't have anywhere to run when the Pearl sails the sea. They shall tremble with fear at the mere sight of this mighty ship and the flag she flies." He then stands up from the bed and follows her out of his cabin, closing the door behind him, and makes his way to the Open Bar to visit his grandmama.

Rich Bit slides another bottle of rum down the bar to a customer and shouts, "That will be three bits ya drunken lout, pay up or I'll sic security on ya!" She then watches the bits fly at her through the air and catches them deftly with her left hand and sees her grandson stroll in through the front door and smiles saying, "Find yerself a seat ya miserable wretch, and I'll be with ya in a moment."

Jack strolls into the tavern and sees a few of his crew sitting around tables drinking the weaker rum, heading over to the bar and sits in the chair at the end. Turning his head to the crew in the bar, he asks, "Oi, any of you know where Gibbs is at?"

Pintel looks at his captain and nods quickly saying, "Aye sir, he is making his daily deliveries around the port, shall I go fetch him?"

He nods his head and smiles saying, "If you lot want to set sail today, I would recommend that." He watches as the portly man rises from the table and hurries out the door and waits for his Grandmama to finish with her customers.

Rich Bit tosses a bottle to another customer and catches the bits thrown to her, tucking them away into a pouch between her breasts and makes her way to Jack and says, "Okay scallywag, what can I do ya for?"

Jack looks to her and then asks, "How is the latest batch coming along Rich?"

She looks to her nephew and chuckles saying, "It gave my friend a little trouble at first, but it is coming along fine. It will be a year before it is ready to be tasted, my friend is working on a few different versions of the one you requested."

He then sighs and says, "Well bugger then, how many barrels and bottles of rum do you have ready to be loaded?"

Rich Bit looks up in thought and says, "With how much yer crew drinks, I would hafta say 300 barrels and 100 bottles. That would be 3 bits per bottle and 20 per barrel, so in total that is 6,300 bits. Anything else ya'll be needing?"

Jack nods his head and asks, "Do ya have anything that my crew can eat other than plants?"

She shakes her head no and says, "Unfortunately, we only have some bread available for our customers. Yer best bet is to check the market for the food ya need."

He then strokes the beard on his chin and says, "I guess we have an accord mate, please send the bill to Princess Celestia as she has so graciously agreed to pay for the expenses regarding the Black Pearl." He then hears the customers in the room start talking quietly amongst themselves at hearing what he said as Gibbs hurries through the door.

Gibbs stops before the captain and says, "Ya wanted to see me Cap'n?"

Jack then looks to Gibbs and says, "Aye I have, we are on urgent business for Her Majesty, therefore I need you to find us provisions for a potentially lengthy journey at sea, and gather the whole crew. I have acquired the rum for the journey already, so move like your life depends on it. We shall set sail before the sun hangs low in the sky."

The first mate then looks to the crew in the tavern and shouts, "Well, what are ya standing around for you dogs, snap to! There is a lot to do and less time to do it, off to yer posts ya filthy swine!"

The crew in the bar all stand up and say, "Aye aye, Sir." as they slam back their rum and simultaneously slam their mugs down onto the tables as Rich Bit tells them where the barrels and bottles are that need to be loaded.

He then watches as the crew races and shakes his head saying, "What a bunch of scallywags they are, I need to make my way to the market and find what provisions I can." He then looks to the Cap'n and says, "Did the princess really agree to pay all expenses, Cap'n?"

He looks to his first mate and says, "Are you calling me a liar, Gibbs? If so, take a good look at this mate..." He then pulls out a letter with a broken wax seal and holds it out towards him saying, "This is from Princess Celestia herself, show it to those you acquire goods from so they know it to be true."

Gibbs takes the letter and looks at it, gasping in shock for a moment before squinting his eyes in a sneaky look towards the captain saying, "And might I inquire as to how ye obtained such a good bargain?"

Jack raises one eyebrow to Gibbs and says, "Just leave that bit out and trust that ye olde Captain Jack Sparrow has got everything under control mate."

He puts the letter away with a chuckle saying, "Aye aye, Cap'n, I shall be off to my duties. Might we have a heading?"

The captain pulls out his compass and opens it to see it pointing west-northwest as Jack looks off to that direction thinking, 'Hmm...that must be where my princess is at.' He then bangs a palm against his compass and shakes it a couple of times and thinks, 'Oi mission first, loins later. We can't have the latter without the former, savvy?' He then watches as the compass points a new direction and says, "Aye we do, and it is north-northeast. Now what are you waiting for, why are you still here?"

Gibbs then nods his head saying, "Aye aye Cap'n!" and then hurries out the tavern to gather provisions first, then the men to load the ship.

Jack looks to Rich Bit and says, "I shall see you again some other day, ta for now." He then tips his hat to her and then heads out to wait for his crew on the Black Pearl.

Four hours later, on board the Black Pearl

The captain watches as his crew replaces the grates over the hold and smiles saying, "All hands, cast off and make half sail! A new adventure lies ahead of us, starting now."

The old pegasi watches as the beautiful Black Pearl sails out of port, then goes full sail out of the harbor saying, "I wish ya good luck and a safe journey, ye'll be needing it for the troubles ahead."

Jack watches the Pearl sail a fair distance from the harbor and looks back towards where Canterlot is and thinks, 'Have faith in me my love, for I shall destroy those griffons for you and return to your waiting arms.' He then looks back to his crew and says, "All crew on deck, I have exciting news for us all!" He then waits for every crewmember to be on deck and says, "We have been offered a reward for destroying the griffon armada threatening Equestria, so let's show them why us pirates are truly feared!"

The lookout in the crow's nest smiles as he hears the crew cheering excitedly when he spots a ship in the distance and pulls out his spyglass. After examining the ship's flag and silhouette closely, he grins and calls out, "War Sloop spotted on the northern horizon cap'n!"

He looks into the horizon and sees the ship, then looks up at the spotter and asks, "How's she set?"

The crewman watches the ship grow closer and calls out, "She's lightly armed with only 8 cannons and sitting low in the water!"

Jack waits for the ship to get a bit closer and says, "Half sail! Gun deck load round shot, main deck load Grapeshot! Listen closely for firing orders! Hoist the colors...GIVE NO QUARTER!!!"

The griffon captain hears cheers coming from the other ship and trembles as the large black ship finally raises its flag and gulps saying, "Of all the ships on these seas, why did this huge ship have to be a pirate ship..."
