Nothing is True. Everything is Connected.
World Oceans Day

World Oceans Day

 

It’s National World Ocean Day!  We need to do more to protect the oceans and its inhabitants.

And for this day – a small snippet!

Which actually covers one from my list for Ladyholder: Jack Sparrow and Will Turner

Will leaned against the rail enjoy the sea air.   It had been a while since he had been out sailing.  The past few years had been stressful on the Clan, and with his new role within it, at times he had felt overwhelmed.  He missed Jack and Stephen every damn day.  

He was prepared to settle into his office and scream in silence at the amount of stuff that actually had to be done.  He missed being Lead Hunter, going out and dealing with idiots to get out his frustration.  Maybe he’ll tag along with Seth or Harkness the next time one of them went out on a Hunt.   

When he had gone downstairs to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, he was a bit surprised when Wadsworth handed him a to go cup, instead of his pirate cup that he usually had his coffee in.   A few seconds later, Jack sauntered into the kitchen looking every bit Captain Jack Sparrow … not that his outfits had changed that much over the years, just now a days it was a bit less piratey.   Without a word he grabbed Will’s arm and announced a clannapping and he was pulled out of the kitchen, down the hallway, out the back, and along the path to the ships.  It took Jack a few moments to realize Will was all for the clannapping, and didn’t actually need to be dragged along.

A few hours later, the Pearl was setting sail.  

“Ye look happy.”

“Thanks Jack I needed this.”  He shifted and leaned against the railing smiling at his Mate.  “I’m sorry for … ”  he waved his own hands in the air figuring Sparrow would understand.

“Don’t tell him but I miss him too.”  Jack gave him a soft smile, the turned and sauntered towards the back of the ship.   

He hadn’t realized how much he missed Captain Jack Sparrow until moments like these.   There were moments he truly understood Jack’s comment about how the world just had less in it.   The fact Jack couldn’t be ‘Jack’ all the time was hard, but then Jack had learned to be ‘Jack’ in new ways.   Will shook his head not even sure what the hell was going through his brain.  Obviously the sea air was making him think like Jack.

“What are you doing?”  He gave a nod to Joshamee who was quietly taking care of the ship while his Captain sauntered around.  “Jack!?”

Sparrow looked over his shoulder a wide grin on his face.  “It’s the day to celebrate the ocean.”

“And?”  He stepped next to him to see what he was fidgeting with.  “Why is there a large net behind the Pearl?”

“We’re going fishing.”

“You are not fucking with Davy?  Tia will smack the living shit out of you, and I would let her.”  Will crossed his arms over his chest glaring at his Mate.  

“Not that kinda fishing.”  Sparrow gestured towards the net, and that was when Will realized he was collecting up trash: bottles, bags, and a whole bunch of polluting items.

“God I love you.”

“Of course ya do I’m Captain Jack Sparrow!”  

Will pulled him close kissing him deeply.  “Now how about I let you do some pillaging, Captain.”  He couldn’t help laughing while being dragged down to the Captain’s Cabin. 

He made a note to make this a yearly event.

    Ladyholder will love this snippet!
    I love it!
    It’s just so…Jack. He loves the sea and wants to help take care of it. I can see him going around talking to other captains — pleasure boats, fishing vessels and anything else that goes on the waters — and asking them to donate one or more days a month to help clean up the ocean, rivers, lakes and streams. He could start a group and they could recycle plastics and glass and then properly dispose of the rest. They could hand out flyers reminding people of the need to keep the oceans clean, so pack your trash and bring it back with you.
    Davy Jones would be his new best friend!
    Damn, verbose again… **sigh**
