Haha, so this is an answer to the Anniversary Drabbles Challenge on hidetherum dot net. If you want to participate, just go to that site and visit the "Challenges" board. Or, you can visit my profile for the list. My first drabble is iPod, so, it's modern. I do have a POTC era list as well!

Don't be such a wuss, Will. Go on. Ask her.
Will Turner's friends used to say he wasn't afraid of anything, but if they'd seen him now, they would probably take that statement back.
A terrified Will Turner was now walking towards his crush, Elizabeth Swann. Why was he so terrified? Well, Will had decided, after many sleepless nights, that he was going to ask Elizabeth Swann out on a date.
Take a deep breath, Will, he told himself. She was standing by her locker, alone (and Will couldn't be more thankful for that) and she was clearly looking for something, as she was practically inside her locker.
Will knew it was better to ask her face to face, but then he'd see her smile and her eyes and he would be absolutely speechless. (Very promising if she accepted his offer, but he could deal with that later). So, he settled with asking the back of her head instead.
"Elizabeth?" He didn't wait for an answer. "I know you're busy and I'm sure you have plans but would you like to go on a date with me sometime I understand if you're busy or don't want to I just wanted to ask!" he blurted out. You're lucky if she understood any of that, you fool!
No answer. Elizabeth didn't even turn around. He waited five seconds, ten, twenty...And suddenly, she spun around, facing him.
"Will!" she exclaimed, pulling out her earplugs...and turning off her pink iPod nano.
She studied his face, watching his cheeks redden with embarrassment. "Um, Will, are you alright?"
"Minor heartattack!" Will squeaked. "Nothing to worry about."
And then he left, with Elizabeth looking like a question mark.
