I am acquiesced to inform any persons of sound mind that I, Little Dumpling, have nothing to do with any associated or non-associated rights or characters of POTC, get used to it.
A Pirates Challenge, Part II recently challenged myself to use one scene from Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of The Black Pearl and write four different possible results. I am so excited; these are going to be good I can tell! Much encouragement and suggestions wanted.

Scene:
"They've taken her! They've taken Elizabeth!" Will said desperately, looking to anyone who would listen.
Commodore Norrington did not look up, consumed with his map, "Mr. Murtog, remove this man."
One of the guards stepped in to grab Will. Will shook him off and looked at the Commodore, "We have to hunt them down. We must save her!"
Governor Swann turned, "And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughter, please share it."
Will quickly looked away from the governor's intense stare and shifted uncomfortably. After a moment of silence Murtog spoke from the corner:
"That Jack Sparrow," now all eyes were upon him. "He talked about the Black Pearl."
"Mentioned it is more what he did." Mullroy retorted from the side.
The Commodore turned back to his map, the wheels inside his head turning as fast as he could fathom. From the corner of this eye he could see Turner's body tighten in anger.
"Ask him where it is!" Will exploded. "Make a deal with him, he could lead us to it!"
The Commodore sighed inwardly, "No. The Pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow locked in his cell, ergo they are not his allies." The Commodore turned to Swann, "Governor, we will establish their most likely course."
Angrily Will threw his axe at the pretty map the Commodore had spread across the table, "That's not good enough!"
Annoyed the Commodore plucked the axe from its resting place, deeply embedded into the destroyed map and table. "Mr. Turner." The Commodore said as he strode around the table, "You are not a military man, you are not a sailor; you are a blacksmith. This is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." After handing Turner his axe the Commodore stepped back to his map.

"Into your head, into your mind / Out of your soul, race through your veins / You can't escape, you can't escape."
Furiously Will left the party to think. How could they be so cool about her disappearance!? Will thought angrily, Especially the Commodore, he's should be crying in devastation, not calmly making plans. Will knew at the moment he was being rash, but he couldn't help it. He cared deeply for Elizabeth, well maybe not as everyone thought he did, but he loved her like he could ever love a sister. To him she was his safety net, just because he wasn't welcome in the governor's home never stopped the two from enjoying each others company, and when the other had had a bad day the two would meet. He knew of Elizabeth's revulsion of the Commodore and she knew of Wills attraction to him. Both Elizabeth and Will had known of Wills "tenancies" since they had developed hormones. In the past they had even had crushes on the same man and had fought over him unceasingly. It didn't stop them for sharing a laugh at the end, and it never hurt their friendship, that's just how the pair worked.
As furious as Will was about Elizabeth's kidnap, all he could think about was the Commodore's stern face as he had rebuked him earlier. It wasn't fair! Will was just trying to think for the best, he needed to bring Elizabeth back, alive and safe! After another few minutes of struggling with his turbulent emotions, Will decided the only was he could get a clear thought in his head was with a stiff drink in his stomach. Will knew that many of the people in Port Royal thought he was a prude, but just because he didn't get piss drunk and spread his seed all over town did not mean Will Turner did not know how to have a good time.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Settling himself at the bar, Will ordered himself a beer and began to stew. Now that he had left the heat of the moment, he was thinking a lot clearer, and that meant a few things. He now felt awfully guilty about yelling at the Commodore who had clearly been looking out for Elizabeth's best interest. And all this anger, alcohol and thoughts of the Commodore meant Will was beginning to feel horny. As much as he preferred to be with men, some of the women in the bar were starting to look good. He was tired of jacking of to the thought of the Commodore. He wanted to feel him inside and if that couldn't happen he might as well be inside someone else. Will shuttered involuntarily, as lonely as he was, he definitely wasn't ready to stick himself inside some random woman. No, Will sighed, Looks like it will just be me and rosy palm tonight. Paying for his drink Will stood and left the bar.

"Pulling you in, spinning you 'round/ Lifting your feet right off the ground/ You can't believe it's happening now."
James Norrington felt exhausted. The day had been full of hard work that hadn't paid off. He had sent many scouts out early in the day to see if the Navy had the power to find a trace of the pirates. All but one scout had already reported back with nothing but bad news and dead ends; James did not have high hopes for the last scout.
With a sigh, James headed took a short cut through a dark alley, heading towards his house. Not paying attention to his surroundings, James tripped on a stone half way through the alley and tried to catch himself on the brick wall to his left. Leaning on the wall tears began to flood his eyes. He just couldn't do anything right anymore… He couldn't even walk home without dirtying his clothes. Why? Why was he crying over a simple stumble at night? He asked himself rationally; it's not like anyone had seen him, or that he had even been hurt… Why then?
James knew why, even if he wasn't ready to admit the reason to himself aloud. James had proposed to Elizabeth that morning, something he had felt his whole body reject as soon as the words had stumbled out of his narrow mouth. It just hadn't felt right. And then, the one person he had any feelings for at the moment had shown up in the heat of anxiety and he had ended up yelling at him. Yes Will had been out of line with his comments, but James knew Will had only been acting out of love for Elizabeth.
James had never really cared about gender and had in the past-enjoyed quiet affairs with both sexes, so it had come of no surprise to him when he had found himself sexually attracted to the beautiful headstrong blacksmith. James had watched Will grow up, and under every obstacle he had been able possible pull himself back up. The real heartbreak of the day had not been when he had realized Elizabeth, who he cared for in a lesser way, might be hurt, but when he realized that only someone in love would be as angry as Tuner had been today.
James let his body sink to the ground and began to sob. All of the hurt, anxiety and emotional build-up of years seemed to poor alarmingly out of his eyes and mouth. His cries stopped suddenly as he heard a noise to the entrance of the alley. He stood quickly, wiping his eyes on his regal sleeves.
"Who's there?" He said quietly but firmly, from this distance and blur from his tears, James could only see a dark figure standing quietly. "By the order of the King's Navy reveal yourself!" He said with anger. How dare someone interrupt such a personal moment!
"Commodore?" Will Turner's voice sounded from the figure.
"Turner." James said harshly, regretting every syllable from his mouth. "I have nothing more to say to you." He finished and turned around, moving to exit the intimate alley the way he had come.
"Wait! James!" Will spoke tenderly, wincing at his own misuse of common courtesy, devoiding his comment of honorifics.
James stopped in his shoes. Slowly he turned to face Will, "Yes?" He asked softly.
"I-I just wanted to…" Will stuttered before clearing his throat and continued, "I just wanted to apologize for my attitude towards you earlier today. I was out of line… I am truly sorry."
James sighed sadly, "Don't mention it Turner, you were acting like any man in love would."
"Is that what you think?" Will laughed seeing James' expression twist in confusion, and took a few steps down the alley towards the Commodore. Stopping naught but a few inches from the Commodore Will spoke again. "Yes I love Elizabeth. But not in the way you are thinking… I love her like a sister and best friend, not romantically…" Will smilled gently before continuing sadly, "I know how you feel for her, and-" what Will was going to say was lost in the locking of lips.
As soon as James had realized Will did not care for Elizabeth romantically he couldn't constrain himself and grabbed Wills face planting his own pale narrow lips on Will's lush pink ones. Coming to his senses, James abruptly broke the kiss and took a step back, causing Will to groan in need. "I'm sorry," James said darkly, "I don't know what came over me."
Will looked down sadly and nodded. "James before you leave as fast as your legs can carry, I just want you to know that I could never love Elizabeth romantically when that space has been taken up by one man for many years now." James' heart sunk at this new revelation. "And… That man is you." Still looking away Will shuffled uneasily, afraid of his feelings being rejected.
James blinked in stupor. Had Will Turner just confessed to loving him? "I-this… This can't be true." James whispered.
Will mistook his meaning and mumbled, "I know, I-I'll just stay away from you for-"
"No!" James inturupted him, "I am in disbelief because this feels too good to be true!" He finished dreamily.
"What?" Will looked up, "Then you mean-"
James smiled. "I love you Will Turner." Will gaped at James for a few seconds before being pulled into an intimate kiss by James. Happily James encircled Will in his arms unwilling to ever let go. "I love you," James whispered again against Will's luscious lips.
"It takes you to another place/ Imagine everything you can. / All the colors start to blend/ Your system overloads again."

A/N: I was actually able to get through a story without writing a sex scene! I am so proud of myself. Bravah to me! I'm sure if I were persuaded to write one I could fire up the old noggin again. Sigh… These two are actually quite cute together, never thought I'd say that… Although I guess it makes sense, as I have always thought Will's character only useful if he is pleasuring a good looking man.

Anyways, comments? Reviews? Please?
