"No." Six year old Diana Sparrow pleaded with a laugh as hands went to grab her, tickling her armpits. "No, don't." She giggled, squirming away, or at least attempting to anyways.

"An' miss out on the chance to get you? Don't think so runt." Nara chuckled, grinning mischievously as they both tumbled around on the floor.

"Oi, I'm not a runt".. The younger pouted, arms crossed as she stuck out her lip.

The older of the two gave a laugh, ruffling her hair affectionately. "Are so, look how small ye are."

The sound of someone clearing their throat made both of them turn, glancing up to see who it was.

"Was only teasin'." Nara admitted guiltily.

"Were ye now? Didn't sound like it". Soracha said thoughtfully, though a small smirk began to form. But her eyes were firm, like they always were when she meant business.

She gave a determined nod.

"I don't think Di here knew that did she? Now apologize an' make up."

"Sorry"... They both murmured.

"Good, now if ye both want to cause some real, 'trouble' . Go an' steal yer dad's hat or somethin'." The auburned haired woman told them with a grin, going back on deck.

A knowing look and a smirk passed between them both as she left. And the two snuck quietly outside to begin their shenanigans..

                                          *****

A quiet giggle reached Jack's ears as he felt something being lifted from his head. Slowly, but surly. And not enough to give him time to retrieve it either.

                  His beloved tricorn hat..

"I believe that's mine thank you." He said curtly with a small smile as he turned around from his place at the wheel. Reaching out to grab it back from the tiny hands that took it.

"No." Diana giggled, running off as she put the said item on her head.

He shook his own, looking expectantly at Nara.

She smirked, telling him no.

"You little"- He said in affectionate exasperation . "Yer in on it too."

Nara gave a laugh, brushing back her dark brown hair as she went to climb the rigging, in hopes of escaping his grasp.

She accomplished her goal, reaching the top of the mast and going over to the crow's nest to join her sister in their victory.

"Got it?" She asked, grinning as she glanced over at Diana, who was currently wearing it.

"Aye." Di giggled, waving it high in the air.

"Ye ever gonna let me wear it?"

"No."

Nara gave a nod in response, glancing down to the deck below. And from the top, she could hear her dad's voice  yelling at them both from his spot at the wheel: "Oi, this means war for the lot of ya! An' no parlay either!"

A triumphant wave in reply was all he got. For the hat was the real prize, and - he wasn't getting it back.
