So this one takes place between COTBP and DMC. Jack finds he needs an old friend, and that old friend might be dead. So, here's the story!

Annie

Chapter 1

Jack rowed the small boat ashore. He lugged it on the beach, and made his way towards the town. He wore his long coat and his hat. He had his own distinct appearance that everybody knew. The rumors got there before he even thought about leaving for the town. He was on the opposite side of Port Royal, and wanted to keep from causing attention from himself. He walked along the dock and down the bridge and around the corner into a familiar shop. He just walked in and looked around. A sword pointed at his back, and he wheeled around with a smile.

"Ah, William, how have you been?" Jack smiled.

"What are you doing here, Jack?" William snapped at him. Even though he was accused of piracy he managed to keep his apprenticeship with the black smith. He didn't want to continue on a life of piracy, but if it was something he had to do…he'd do it.

"Can't two old friends stop in on each other to catch up on past events that have passed since the two friends passed each other?" Jack smiled.

Will gave him a look and put his sword away. "I don't want any part of what your planning, Jack."

"Disappointing; I was going to-never mind, you wouldn't want anything to do with it." Jack said and started towards the door. He had the bait, now all he needed was for the whelp to bite…

"Wait," Will called. Jack smiled and turned around. "What is it that you're looking for, Jack?"

"I do believe you remember a certain female aboard my ship that you met. Nice girl, sort of short, skinny, brownish hair, creepy eyes that change colors?" Jack smiled as he walked towards the young man.

"Annalise?" Will asked. Jack nodded once.

"Annalise." Jack concluded.

Elizabeth started down towards the shop and she got curtsies or bows as she started towards her boyfriends work. She walked in, and saw two men she was fairly familiar with. One she wished she never met, the other-the love of her life. The two men looked up at her from the table she sat at.

"What's going on here?" Elizabeth snapped as she started towards Will.

"Elizabeth," Jack smiled and started towards her.

"Will," Elizabeth stood in front of Will as he stood up.

"Jack," Will called annoyed.

"Will?" Jack asked.

"Jack?" Elizabeth looked at Jack confused.

"Elizabeth," Will looked down at Elizabeth.

"That is enough with the names. Unless people shall start to properly introduce me as Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack snapped.

"What's going on?" Elizabeth repeated.

"Young William here has agreed to go on me to find his truly beloved dear Annie." Jack smiled.

"Annie?" Elizabeth asked.

"She's rumored to be dead. I need to know she isn't, Elizabeth," Will admitted.

"Why? She's a pirate," Elizabeth snapped.

"She's the only one who ever knew my father and my mother. She's the only family I have." Will explained.

"Not to mention she could be the only person who can tell you where your father is." Jack added in.

"I have to go, please understand," Will begged Elizabeth. She looked at Will and then Jack. She didn't want Will to get into anymore trouble. There was no way that he would keep from the hangman's noose if he continued to divulge in piracy. But, if they both went together, then they would still be together and not separated by the walls of a prison.

Jack looked down at the two. He really wished she wouldn't invite herself along. She seemed to make things much more complicated. Although it was nice to have another female aboard. The more the better meant all was well for Jack. He was so used to having Annie to flirt with-who usually playfully shunned him-but Elizabeth was different. She seemed to not exactly allow it, but she didn't not allow it.

"If you're going to continue a parade of piracy, then I will stand by your side." Elizabeth said and looked up at Will. Jack groaned-slightly annoyed.

"Great, now it's a party. Shall we depart?" Jack said sarcastically.

"We'll leave tonight." Elizabeth nodded.

Elizabeth kissed her father goodnight, and closed her bedroom door. She opened her dresser drawer and changed from her dress into black pants, a long red vest, her sword, her white shirt, and her hat. She threw a rope down over the edge of the window and looked back at her room. She would know her father would be worried, but she had to leave. She quickly scrawled out a letter, and left it on her untouched bed. She knew he would find it.

William threw his sword on and then his knife in his belt. He was pretty much ready to go. All he needed was to meet Elizabeth. But with the soldiers patrolling the streets it was going to be hard. There was a knock on the back of the shop, and Will opened the door. Elizabeth stumbled in, and they started off towards the Pearl. They hid in the alleys, and stayed in the dark as they went silently towards the beach. There was a skiff waiting for them, and they pushed it off and started towards the Pearl.

They were pulled aboard by Gibbs, and they started towards Jack.

"Full canvas! All hands!" Jack called to the crew. And then the Black Pearl took off to find the one they lost.
