Chapter 1

It was a bright morning out on the Caribbean as Elizabeth sat in bed twisting her engagement ring around her finger. It was two months ago that Will had taken her into a lovely lagoon and proposed to her. She had just thought they were going on a boat ride at night, but she knew when he was being so quiet. The moon lit up the bay as the frogs and insects sang to the night air as Will stopped the boat as well as he could. As the boat slowed Elizabeth could swear her heart was slowing also.

Laying under her warm blankets Wills voice still echoed in her head as she thought back to that night.

"Elizabeth, will you come live with me on my ship and be my wife for forever?" She smiled up and the boat ceiling and slowly rolled out of bed throwing an over robe on and walking outside. The warm air swarmed all around her making the happiness inside her fill up even more, if possible. She looked around at the crew working diligently on different things. The Black Pearl was floating along beside them.

The ship looked a lot different now that there was a different captain running things. A sharp memory hit Elizabeth, as she gazed at the water, of the year before when she nearly lost Will. The ugly skeletons of the crew still haunted her dreams at times, but when she thought of the upcoming day this weekend all the bad thoughts went away and were covered with happiness. Wills voice was carried with the wind to Elizabeth, "Jack Sparrow! You didn't steal this did you?"

"Captain! Captain Jack Sparrow. Why should I tell you where I got it?" Jack replied swaying around dangerously.

Elizabeth walked up the short staircase to find the two men bickering over something, "what are you hiding behind your back, Will?" Elizabeth asked innocently. The two pirates swung around and faced her.

"Nothing, nothing at all," Will said terribly failing to sound innocent.

"You see, Elizabeth, men of our class are forced to keep some things secret so that other people, or women, will not here of our dealings," Jack said walking over to her. Elizabeth put her hands on her hips and cocked an eyebrow, "But then of course the people, or women, never just leave it at that."

"Well, I shall meet you two for breakfast in ten minutes while I go get changed. You two better be cleaned up a bit," She called over her shoulder as she went back down stairs to her bedroom. The two pirates watched her descended down the stairs before turning to each other again.

"Where did you get it?" Will said sharply.

"Now, now, you're the stupid one, remember that. You have to trust me on this one, she'll love the ring," Jack said with his exaggerated movements. Will looked down at the small trinket laying in his palm. The red ruby bound to the gold band glistened in the morning sun, "I can't believe its been two months and you haven't gotten her a ring."

"I made her one!" Will said defensively.

"It's a silver band with a weakly attached diamond. Small one, I might add," Jack said laying his hand on Wills shoulder.

"I made swords, not rings," Will replied looking at the band more closely, "What's this writing say?"

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that, just tell her it means something about love. Its in a foreign language, she'll never know," Jack said walking to the side of the boat.

"I'm not going to lie to my future wife! What does it say Jack!" Will said advancing on him.

"Alright! I got it from a gypsy, I don't know what it says, probably something to do with gypsy stuff," Jack said waving his hands around.

Will glared at him for a second but Captain Sparrow just looked at him without interest leaning against the boat. After a few more seconds of this Will turned to met his fiancé for breakfast.
