Chapter One: A Small Favor

Will Turner walked towards Fort Jackson twisting his hat in his hands and sweating profusely, this was due to the fact that it was extremely hot that day in Port Royale and because he was severely doubting his judgment on what he was about to do.

He walked up to the fort and entered into the labyrinth of stone hallways and with each step regretted his decision more and more. He stopped for a second and looked at the crumpled mess of his former hat and realized how ridiculous he was being! After all, he thought, I'm was just asking a favor, and there was nothing wrong with asking for a favor, right? Will was unaware of the fact that he had started walking again and upon finishing that thought he found himself in front of Commodore James Richard Arthur Norrington's office door. Will knocked on the door and entered. He saw the Commodore feverishly scribbling on a piece of paper, Will noted with amazement that even though he was writing impossibly fast his handwriting was still impeccable.

Norrington placed his pen on his desk and looked up. Good afternoon Mr. Turner, Norrington gestured to a seat and the returned his gaze, (and most likely his attention) back to his paperwork , Will could not understand how the Commodore was handling the situation so well, since it had only been one week to the day that Turner managed to get away with the girl Norrington loved. Norrington himself was surprised by his cool demeanor but, that was what he was famous for. The Norrington family was known throughout nobility in England due to their success in the Royal Navy and that was due to their inherited nonchalant attitude, even under unfathomable amounts of stress. May I ask what brings you here?, he said without looking up.

Will sat down and began twisting his hat again, Um Commodore, sir, I have a question to ask of you.

The Commodore looked up and raised one of his eyebrows and looked up, And that question is....

Well it is more of a favor that a question, umm well you see, I would like to invite Ja-, I mean Mr. Sparrow to my wedding and was wondering if I can. Will finished speaking and took a deep breath awaiting a response which came immediately.

Mr. Turner, it is your wedding, therefore who you invite it completely up to you. However, I believe what you were trying to ask was weather or not I will arrest Mr. Sparrow and to that Mr. Turner my answer is yes, he will be arrested the moment he sets foot on Port Royale soil.

Will was surprised, although this was the answer that he had expected, he had hoped that the Commodore would allow Sparrow to attend the wedding. Norrington looked up and saw Will's disappointed face, Well, Mr. Turner, I dont know what you had expected, I am bound by the law-

Something inside Will snapped and he cut the Commodore off, For God's sakes man! Is every decision you make based off of what a damned book says! After all, the man saved both my and Elizabeth's life!

Norrington's face contorted and Will knew he had gone to far. Norrington stood up, grabbed a stack of papers and shoved them at Will. Do you know what these are Mr. Turner? Obviously not! Norrington took a calming breath and continued in a much more civil tone, These are seventy-three letters to the families of men, who died under my command saving you! Do not mistake yourself in thinking that that scoundrel Sparrow was the only one who tried to save you.

As soon as James finished speaking Governor Weatherby Swan entered into the room, grinning. Damn, thought Norrington, He was probably eavesdropping and now he's off to tell all of Port Royle that Commodore Norrington lost his temper with Will Turner, bloody gossiper. Good afternoon Commodore, Will, he began his grin growing larger, The Gadway and the Lark have just docked and there are some passengers who would like to speak to you.

Thank you governor, I will make my way to the docks in a moment, Norrington replied as he removed towards his desk.

Commodore, it really is rather important, said the governor hastily.

said the Commodore raising one eyebrow, he nodded to the governor and exited, only to be followed (much to his annoyance) by Will and Governor Swann, all the way to the docks.

The governor hurried up so he could walk along side Norrington. Commodore, I should warn you, Norrington looked skeptically at the
Governor and stopped walking. On the Gadway, he began slowly, there are two girls, the Governor paused.

Norrington continued to walk again, Governor Swann, with all due respect the Gadway is a passenger from England, therefore if it were to be carrying two girls, well, I fail to find anything surprising about that.

Well, Commodore, that wasn't the point I was getting at, the two girls onboard the Gadway claim to be your sisters. When the Governor finished speaking he looked down at the street.

Well, thought Will that's interesting, I didn't know that Norrington had sisters, come to think of it though he never has talked about his family, but why was this such a big deal? Will looked up and seeing the look on Norrington's face he realized that there was definitely a bigger story to this picture.

A/N: haha that was fun! now r&r or I'll write a really bad fic with lots of mary-sues and force you to read it hahaha (its very hard to type evil cackles)
