Sort of Drabble: Toothaches

Disclaimer: Johnny Depp owns the gold teeth. Disney owns the movie.

Summary: Jack is being obstinate. Why are we not surprised? Sort of a Drabble for the "Aches" challenge at Black Pearl Sails.



“Jack,” Bootstrap’s voice would brook no arguments. “We’ve taken a vote. You’ve got to go.”

“Bloody hell, Bill. I’ve told you before, I am not going.”

“If you don’t, you’re gonna start blowin’ the kneecaps off your shipmates just to improve your temper. Now don’t make me have to hit you over the head.”

“You couldn’t if you tried.”

“Since when was the infamous Jack Sparrow afraid of a little pain?”

“Bill, are you tryin’ to make me kill you? I’m not afraid of a little pain. I’m afraid of a bloody great awful lot of pain.”

“You’re already in a bloody great awful lot of pain. Now stop being such a namby pamby infant Jack.”

The only reply was the smack of a fist impacting a quickly thrown up defensive hand.

“You can get them replaced with gold.”

“Gold?”

“Yep.”

“Well now that’s different.”

So very Jack.

Our good pirate captain is always either causing trouble or finding it. But gold is a good cure for trouble.

So, the peacock wins out over the namby pamby (a term I haven't heard in years btw), eh! Good ol' Jack, always one to go for the glitz.

Loved this line - an apt description of a man in pain: you’re gonna start blowin’ the kneecaps off your shipmates just to improve your temper

Yes all is vanity with Jack here. I'm afraid I have a very archaic vocabulary.

The mind does boggle at the picture of Jack Sparrow in his youth, with rum, in pain and in denial. Everybody duck! Quick!

Hah.
Hey, I found you in a Pirates community. I write Jack Sparrow fanfic as well.
I hope it's all right that I add you? Add me back?

Glad you enjoyed Jack here. You're welcome to add me.

Poor, hurting Jack. He certainly would be ready to start blowin' the kneecaps off the crew (wonderful line!). Fun drabble.

Yes, poor Jack. Dentistry and barbaric torture in those days had more than a nodding acquaintance. And no lidocain! Every one of those pretty gold teeth had to represent a bit of misery. No wonder the crew is eying their mate's pistols suspiciously. Thank you for the feedback.
