" What shall we do, what shall we do, what shall we do, what shall we do, what shall we do, What shall we do, what shall we do, what shall we do with a drunken sailor.

Way hey and up she rises, way hey and up she rises, way hey and up she rises earlye in the morning. Put 'im in the long boat till he's sober, Put 'im in the long boat till he's sober, Put 'im in the long boat till he's sober earyle in the morning."

"Liliana! Hurry up!"

Liliana held her hands to her ears as her grandmother's voice pounded in her ears. Days like these always got her knickers in a twist. Today they were going to the inauguration of the new commodore. Unfortunately it was Eugene Norrington, previous commodore's son and her stalker. Liliana despised him, but he wanted to court her. Today would not be a good day.

"Grandmother do I have..."

"Yes."

"But..."

"Hush now! I'm raising you better than I did your mother. Your going."

Liliana sat on the ottoman in the hall with a huff. Liliana's mother had once been a pleasant, well breed woman of Port Royal, that was until her father had arrived. Her father, whom her grandmother would not say who her was, had changed her mother. It was a sweet story really...with a terribly sad ending. Long story short, her mother and father had know each other from childhood, but one day her father left. Her mother was devastated and moped around dressing as a man for 5 years. Finally one day she decided to find him. Well she did and didn't like who he'd turned out to be and gave up and came home. Her father didn't give up though and he came back and they eventually married and had Liliana. This is were the story turns for the worse. A little over a month after she was born her mother was shot and killed by an ex-crew member. All she had now was two necklaces and a ring. Her grandmother had seemed to forget that her mother and father were good pirates, but shunned both now. Liliana now was suffering all because of one man's anger. Liliana wanted revenge. The only one who could understand this was her grandfather.

"What's wrong my little flower?"

"Its grandmum! Why do I have to go? I'm an adult now, don't I get to make my choices?"

"It makes her happy. I'll talk to her, don't you worry."

"Thanks grandad."

"Not a problem pet," he said patting her cheek..

He got up to check for the carriage while Liliana fantasized about her father. She had always fantasized that he was the most fearsome pirate out there: Captain Jack Sparrow. That was a laugh though. Jack Sparrow would have never been some fancy schmancy guy like her mother had been.

"Liliana, we're going. Come!"

"I'm not a dog grandmum!"

"Sassy, just like your mother. Let's hope that's the only thing you inherit."

That's were your wrong grandmother. All of me is my mother and you can't stop that. That morning as Liliana was dressing she had put a shirt, boots and breeches on underneath the dress. Also under the dress was her mother's old satchel full of all the things she cared about. Today she would escape this hell hole, or she'd go nuts. The carriage man attempted to help her, but she swatted his hand away.

"Liliana!," her grandmother scolded.

"I'm capable of doing it myself, thanks."

"Sorry Phillpe, she's very independent and stubborn," she said glaring at Liliana.

"Thank you anyway Phillpe."

Liliana took a seat across from her grandparents. Her grandmother was giving her that look that meant she was disappointed.

"Liliana Sofia Brisbane, why must you act that way?"

"Don't call me that! Its not my name!"

"And what is it?"

"I don't know...you know and won't tell me!"

"It is a possibility."

Liliana stared out the window fed up with the argument. In just an hour she'd be free. They arrived at the ceremony as everyone else was. When they stepped out of the carriage her grandmother pushed them toward Eugene.

"Grandmother no!," Liliana said through clenched teeth.

"Nonsense! He wants to court you and he's the perfect suitor!"

Liliana groaned to herself. She put on a smile as they approached Eugene.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Brisbane, Liliana."

'Ha ha fluffy white wig. I wonder if it's an animal. Hello I have a cat on my head. Meow! Oh no he's talking to me. And grandmother has that gonna hit her look. Ow, there's grandmom's elbow.

Talk Liliana, she thought to herself. She curtsied before speaking.

"Hello Eugene, how are you on this fine day?"

"Absolutely stunning, like you look. That dress is unremarkable."

Liliana laughed inside. This guy was so corny! The only thing unremarkable were his pick up lines. If he only knew she was here to only please her grandmother. In truth she hated all Norrington's. After what his father had done to her mother (which was falsely branding her pirate...though she was) which Liliana opposed.

"Congratulations Eugene, your father must be proud," he grandmother said budding in.

"Indeed he is. He tells me I just need to find a woman to be my wife and companion. I already have one woman in mind."

Liliana saw him glance in her direction. 'Oh please!,' Liliana thought, 'In your dreams.'

"Oh and who would that be?"

Smooth grandmother, like you don't already know. This was ridiculous. Her plan was going to be executed now.

"Excuse me Eugene, I need a drink. I'm parched."

"Very well. I will see you later right? I would like to talk."

"Uh, yea sure."

Yea, how about in a hundred years. Liliana made sure her grandmother was absorbed in a conversation before she ran toward the docks. She flung the dress into the water and looked around for their boat. She found it three boats down.Her grandfather had handed her the papers to it, telling her to take it whenever she pleased. Liliana looked at the castle where the ceremony was being held and saw want looked like the silhouette of her grandfather. Liliana waved to the figure and it waved back.

"Good bye grandfather."

Liliana prepared the ship and steered her out. Now where was she to go? Tortuga...her mind whispered. She didn't know where it had come from, but she decided to follow it. Tortuga...the pirate town.
