Note: I wrote this last July. Some of the verbs are wrong, and this is short. Once you read this whole story, go on to the sequals. They're much better! Enjoy!
----------------------------------------
It was a bright morning in Tortuga. Jack Sparrow was lying flat on his back from his drunken adventures the night before.
"Uhh…" Jack moaned, sitting up. Looking down, lying in his hand was a bottle of rum. He attempts to drink from the bottle, hoping there's still some left. No luck. He stands up noticing the Pearl was still in port. He climbs aboard, and begins searching for Gibbs.
"Gibbs! Answer me man!" he shouted. He hears foot steps from below deck. Gibbs comes up the stairs briskly.
"Aye, Capt'n?" he answers. Jack looks around.
"Where's the rest of the crew"
"They're all havin' breakfast, sir"
"Well tell them to hurry it up! We need shove off. I have a feeling that something is wrong"
"What be wrong, Jack?" Jack stares at him and finally answers.
"I think someone, whom I know is in trouble."
"And who might that be?" Jack pauses.
"I think young William is having trouble with a girl." Jack looks at Gibbs, waiting for him to figure out who that girl might be. There is a long pause. Gibbs is still thinking. Jack rolls his eyes.
"It's Elizabeth." Jack answers.
"Ahhh…and do ye know where they are?" asks Gibbs.
Jack pulls out his compass. Jack makes strange faces as he tries to make his compass stay in one place.
"Bloody compass." Jack mumbles.
Jack stares out to sea, thinking of anything to set his mind on finding them. He ponders and ponders, and finally thinks of a very good memory. The compass settles.
"Mr. Gibbs, we have our heading!" The compass is leading him strait to Port Royal.
In Port Royal, Will is working in the blacksmith shop. He takes a sword from the fireplace, and starts beating it with the hammer. His hits become more powerful and faster until the sword completely bends in half. He throws it to the ground, falling to the ground, frustrated. He had a fight with Elizabeth earlier that day. Elizabeth wanted to go looking for Jack, and Will knew why. He argued with her, saying that it's too dangerous going after Jack again. Will feared for her safety, but he also wanted her to stay away from Jack. He did not want her to start falling for him. But Will thought it was too late. He knew Elizabeth had a soft spot for Jack. And he knew if she went looking for him again, that soft spot might turn into strong feelings for him. He couldn't let that happen. He decided to go and look for her.
Out in the harbor, Elizabeth was waiting for the opportune moment to commandeer one of the ships. She had learned from Jack how to commander a ship and she wanted to try. She didn't know why, but she really wanted to find Jack. To make sure he was okay. She ran under a bridge, and under a longboat. There, she'd wait for passing soldiers to get out of their range of eye sight. She was going to find Jack, with or without Will.
