Disclaimer: What's it like to own Pirates of the Caribbean? The world may never know.
Erin Turner was walking up the cobble stone path leading to the governor's house in Port Royal to visit Elizabeth Swann. The light breeze moved the material of her light pink gown that only a maid of honor would wear.
"Elizabeth, can I come in?" asked, knocking on Elizabeth's door.
"Please do, I need help with this bloody dress!" screamed Elizabeth through the door. Erin walked in and saw Elizabeth sitting on the bed with the "bloody dress" laid next to her and her corset seemingly thrown across the room.
"Lizzie, what are you waiting for?"
"It's this bloody corset and this bloody dress, Erin!" Elizabeth shouted near tears. Erin strode over to get the corset and bring it back.
"Well, let's get the bloody things on you," Erin sighed. "You'll be late for your own wedding if we don't hurry." Everyone in Port Royal was preparing for the wedding of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. After all of their troubles and problems, they were finally getting married. Erin, Will's younger sister, was Elizabeth's maid of honor and a friend of the couple was the best man. Finally, Erin managed to get Elizabeth into the wedding dress. "Now come on, the carriage is waiting outside to take us to the church!"
Once the women got to the church they went and waited with the rest of the wedding party in a room outside the main room. Erin peeked through the door to see who had shown up. It seemed like most of Port Royal had come. But then, Elizabeth was the governor's daughter. Erin saw Will waiting at the altar. He looked so nervous and awkward standing in front of the crowd. Suddenly, Erin felt a hand on her shoulder causing her to gasp. She turned around and came face to face with none other than Captain Jack Sparrow.
"God, Jack! Don't do that!" Erin said exasperatedly. "What are you doing here anyway?"
"Well, hello to ye too," Jack replied to the younger Turner.
"Sorry, let me try again. Hello Jack, I didn't expect to see you here," Erin said, rolling her eyes sarcastically.
"I couldn't miss the wedding of Mr. Turner and the future Mrs. Turner, now could I, luv?" the man answered smiling about Erin's fixed greeting.
"Yes, that much I knew, why are you waiting with the wedding party?"
"Best man, here to escort the maid of honor," Jack said matter-of-factly, sinking into a mocking bow.
After everyone arrived, the wedding proceeded. Finally, Elizabeth was now Mrs. Will Turner. To celebrate, Jack took the three Turners to a local tavern.
"So," Jack began once everyone had gotten their drinks, "what do the newlyweds have planned for a honeymoon, eh?"
Elizabeth quickly spoke for the two. "Well, we were planning on staying at our house and spending quality time alone," she said as Will nodded his head.
"What are you going to do next, Jack?" Will asked the pirate captain who was taking a sip of rum.
"I'm leaving tomorrow at noon. I have business to attend to in Tortuga, savvy?" Hearing this, Erin set her glass down to speak.
"I wish I could go with you. I'm so sick of Port Royal," she said, hoping the others would understand what she was trying to say. Jack turned to face her cocking an eyebrow but Will cut him off before he could speak.
"It's way to dangerous, Erin" Will said as if stating the obvious. "No, you need to stay here in Port Royal." With that, the group left and went their own ways for the night.
The next morning, Erin walked out the door wearing a simple crème colored dress and her brown hair pulled back with a few loose strands around her face. She walked to the hidden area where Jack had docked the Black Pearl. Erin stopped and looked out to sea.
"Oh, I wish I could sail on those waters," she said aloud, barely aware of where she was.
"Well then, luv," came a familiar voice, "this may be the opportune moment." Erin turned to find Jack standing there.
"What do you mean, Jack?"
"You're welcome to come with me on the Pearl. That is, if you don't mind going to Tortuga." Erin was about to agree when she remembered something.
"I hope you understand, but I need to talk to Will first."
When Erin found Will, he was having tea with Elizabeth.
"Uh, Will," Erin started hesitantly, "Jack offered to take me with him and I just wondered what you thought." Will stood up and looked at her sternly. "No, absolutely not."
"But Will-"
"You need to stay here. It's not proper to go off gallivanting with pirates! People will think badly about you!"
"What about you?" Erin asked angrily. "You go off with pirates all the time!"
"Many people already think badly of me, for the blood of Bootstrap Bill, a pirate, runs in my veins."
"Oh, what am I?" Erin yelled hysterically. "He's my father as well Will!"
"You're not going and that's final!" Elizabeth nodded her head in agreement. "Will's right, Erin," she said. The couple started looking at each other lovingly. Seeing this, Erin stormed out of the house.
Erin was sitting at the docks, looking out to see longingly.
Thanks to Will and his overprotective-ness, I'll never leave this place!
When Jack saw Erin, he strode over to talk to her.
"So are you coming, luv?" Jack asked the young woman. Erin looked up at him sadly. "I can't. Will says, 'it's not proper to go off gallivanting with pirates'."
Jack's usual smirk appeared on his face. "Well, what your dear eunuch brother doesn't know won't hurt him."
"Jack, eventually he'll notice I'm gone."
"Yes, but until then he won't know. Besides, you can decide what you want to do for yourself."
"You're right," Erin said smiling.
"Aren't I always, luv?"
"Looks like I'm going to Tortuga!"
