Disclaimer: I don't own them. Don't sue me. (Though I would like to own Orlando and Johnny. And cover them with chocolate. And lick it off.oh, right, you want to read the story about these characters)
Feedback: Please, Please, Please. I need it, I live for it, I love it!
Archiving: Ask and you shall receive.I just want to know where it is.
Notes: There just had to be more. There will be romance in here, but I'm not going to tell you who it's between, because it'll ruin it. It isn't slash, which is the first for me in a long time. Enjoy!
Summary/Notes: It's a full year after the movie is over, and Elizabeth is restless. When Will agrees to help Jack and she comes along, where will it lead her? And what will happen to her and Will?
Dedicated to Alyssa and Sarah, who motivated me to get off my ass and start writing again. Thanks. (And Alyssa: Tye-mela'ne Orli. You better be able to read that. 3, Sblomie.)
******************************* Part One
Elizabeth gazed out at the ocean, sighing as she saw the peacefulness of the blue expanse. As she watched the waves roll up and down, she longed for something. Something that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
She stepped away from the window and turned around, her eyes catching sight of her husband's sleeping form. Sometimes she knew that Will felt it too. That longing, that restlessness. Their life together had become monotonous, mundane, and though Elizabeth still loved him, she no longer burned for him the way she used to. That passion was gone, that excitement. She needed something to liven things up, she needed an adventure.
She picked up a hairbrush from her vanity and walked back over to the window, humming a song from long ago, one she had almost forgotten. As her mind recalled the lyrics, her lips began to softly sing.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me."

Captain Jack Sparrow took a long drink from the bottle of rum, and looked down at his compass, steering slightly. Staring out at the horizon, he saw something that he wasn't expecting. Squinting, he realized that there were red sails heading toward the Black Pearl.
"Well that's interesting," he said, and snapped the compass shut. "Ana Maria!" he called, and, within seconds, the girl was by his side.
"What is it, Captain?" she asked formally.
"What," he said, gesturing wildly toward the ship, "is that?"
"That's the Ruby, sir." Just by saying it, her eyes looked troubled.
******
"And what, pray tell, is the Ruby?" Jack asked, concerned by her look.
"The man who captains that ship was an ally of Captain Barbosa," she started. "Apparently he and his crew had been through a similar ordeal with the curse and all. Rumor around the ports is that he holds a grudge against you for taking." at Jack's look, ".commandeering the Black Pearl."
"And why are you just now mentioning this to me?" Jack waved his arms in exasperation.
"Well, sir, I assumed that rumors were all they were." At that moment, a piercing sound rippled through the air, and the back of the Pearl was demolished by a cannonball.
"You assumed wrong," Jack exclaimed, and yelled below deck. "Men, to your positions! We need - "
"Um, sir." Ana Maria interrupted, pointing at the sea.
"What is it?" He said, exasperated with her. As he followed her finger, he looked toward where the Ruby had been sailing mere moments before. He saw nothing. Not even a slight ripple of the water. Confused, he glanced around, but there was no sign of the Ruby anywhere.
"Ana Maria, I need you to get us to Port Royal as soon as possible." Jack said, taking on an administrative heir.
"Yes sir," she said. "May I inquire as to why?"
"Well, clearly, we will need to make repairs to this ship," he said, and she began to turn away. "And," he continued. "We are going to need some help."
