Chapter One:
It was another boring night in the library as the gang researched another demon that wanted to open the Hellmouth and bring Hell on Earth nothing really new a normal Tuesday night. Xander was having a hard time of it and the way the gang seemed to forget about him. Everyone was angry with him because of that kiss with Willow making him take all the blame. They forgave Willow easily enough and she even got Oz back while Cordella wanted him dead. Angel and Giles were staying out of the mess, which Xander was grateful of not needing any more hatred directed at him. He closed his book and leaned back against his chair thinking about his past when he was just a kid and how happy he was then. When Xander was six years old his parents left him at the beach having forgotten all about him, which was nothing new. For three hours Xander had walked the sand crying because he was hungry and it was dark. Then that was when he met Jack his pirate ghost friend at least he thought he was a ghost.
Flashback:
“Now what’s with the crying boy?” Xander had looked up at the funny accent to find a man smiling at him with gold teeth. He was tall with long hair braided with beads, he was dressed like a pirate with a sword at his side. Xander thought he was cool it was kinda like Halloween only early. “Where are ye parents, boy?”
“They forgot about me.” Xander wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. “I’m scared and hungry.”
“There now nothing to be afraid of with ole Jack here.” The funny pirate held out his hand to the scared little boy. Jack remembered how it felt to be hungry when he was younger. “Come on then let’s gets some food in yer belly.”
“I’m Xander.” Xander smiled at the pirate glad that he made a new friend. He didn’t have many friends only his Willow and Jesse. “What’s your name.”
The pirate took off his old hat and bowed at the waist smiling causing young Xander to laugh. “I’m Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl. Heard of me have ye, Xander?”
Xander thought about it for a minute then shook his head. “Nope, are you a real pirate?” It would be so cool to tell Willow and Jesse that he met a real pirate. They would be so jealous.
“That I am, Xander.” Jack sighed, young ones these days never really cared about history much and he a great pirate in his day. Now he was cursed wondering around in this time with nothing much to do. There had to be a way for him and the Black Pearl to return home. “Would ya like to see me Pearl?”
“Wow a real pirate’s ship?” Xander’s brown eyes lit up with happiness. “Yeah I would please.”
Jack chuckled at the excitement in the boy at seeing the Black Pearl. He remembered when he was that age and how excited he was at seeing his first pirate’s ship. It was then that Jack knew he would become a famous pirate. “Aye, a real pirate’s ship. The Black Pearl is one of a kind.” How many cursed ships were there these days?
“Yeah, I want to see it.” Xander was almost jumping up and down in excitement when his tummy started to rumble. He didn’t eat much breakfast because his mom was busy and he only found a little cereal with no milk. “I’m hungry.”
“Aye so I hear, come on then we can see the Pearl and have us a grand ole meal in the Captain’s quarters.” Jack led Xander to a cave the entrance to the place where he hidden the Black Pearl so long ago. The crew was still with the Black Pearl.
“Yay!” Xander followed the Pirate Captain happily. They walked for awhile until they came to a large opening filled with water.
“There is me Pearl.” Jack took Xander down towards the water where they both could see an opening leading into the beach. And there was the Black Pearl floating in the middle with its black sails.
“It’s a ghost ship.” Xander took in the black ship with matching sails and the old crossbones flag flirting in the wind.
“Aye, at one time she was boy.” Jack began to tell Xander the story about the Barbossa and the curse.
End of Flashback:
Xander had never forgotten those memories of Jack and the Black Pearl or its crew. Every chance he got Xander would make his way to that cave to see Jack and his ship, but when he turned fourteen years old everything changed. The Black Pearl was gone and so was Jack. For three years he hadn’t seen or heard from his friend and Xander wondered if he would ever seen the pirate again. Now he knew Jack wasn’t from this time because Gibb told him the story about how they came to be here and Xander’s friends didn’t believe Jack was real. The only thing Xander had was the small black pearl Jack gave to him when he was seven after his father beat him. The pearl would allow Xander to call Jack and the pirate would come for him, but it stopped working when Xander tried to call him after he found the pirate gone. Xander would still go to the cave when he needed to think and hope he would see his friend again.
“Xander are you alright?” Willow asked seeing the blank look on Xander’s face. It was night and they were at the library researching the newest big bad so Buffy could slay it.
“I’m fine, Wills.” Xander forced a smile on his face. “I was thinking about Jack.” He told Willow and Jesse about his pirate friend. Jesse believed in Jack, but Willow thought he was an imaginary friend.
“Oh, yeah your imaginary friend.” Willow remembering the stories Xander told her and Jesse about Jack Sparrow and his Pirate ship the Black Pearl. “Why bring him up now?”
“You had an imaginary friend, Xander?” Buffy giggled thinking that’s the funniest thing she heard. Angel only shook his head and went back to reading not caring about Xander’s imaginary friend. Though the name Jack Sparrow sounded very familiar to him.
“Jack Sparrow the Captain of the Black Pearl.” Giles was near by and he overheard everything. “I wouldn’t say he was an imaginary friend girls. Jack Sparrow was a famous pirate that sailed in the Caribbean. I’ve read that his ship the Black Pearl was once cursed before he was able to get her back. However I wonder how Xander has met him since the Pirate has been dead for a very long time.”
“It’s nothing important, G-man.” Xander smiled sadly at the Watcher. “I’m never going to see him again.”
“I would like to know how you knew him in the first place.” Giles knew there was more to the story since there wasn’t much written about Jack Sparrow or his ship. People believed it was nothing, but a story an old fisherman came up with.
“Come on Giles, don’t tell me you believe Xander?’ Buffy sounded surprised at her Watcher. “I bet Xander made up the whole story for attention.”
“I wouldn’t bet on it, Buffy.” Angel now remembered where he heard the name of Sparrow and the Black Pearl. “Sparrow got into trouble the same way Xander does it doesn’t surprise me that Jack found a way to stay alive.” Angel turned to Xander a worried look on his face. “Was he a vampire?”
Xander shook his head. “Gibb told me it was a scroll Jack found that sent the Pearl and the crew here. I guess they found a way back home.”
“So Jack was real?” Willow felt guilty at the way she used to make fun of Xander. She still felt guilty by the way everyone was treating Xander because of the kiss. Still she didn’t want to lose Oz or have the others hate her so she said nothing knowing Xander would understand and forgive her.
“Who cares.” Buffy thought of Xander as the bad guy taking advantage of Willow when she was weak and causing Cordella to get hurt. It would be better if he just stayed away. Xander was such a loser anyhow.
Xander sighed, having had enough of Miss. Prefect and her mouth. If he wanted to be insulted he could have stayed home. His parents never let him forget what a waste of air he was. “Giles I’m going to head home I’m tired.”
Giles was worried about the boy he saw as a son. “I can drive you if you want?”
“Nah, I’m fine G-man.” Xander wanted to be alone, though he was warmed by the thought of someone caring about him. He gave a small smile and walked out the door, not that anyone besides Giles and Angel noticed.
Angel looked over at Giles and nodded before slipping out the door to follow Xander and make sure he got home safe. True they didn’t like each other, but Angel wasn’t about to let him get eaten either.
