Chapter One

"Captain Sparrow." I protest.

"Ah. Come to join me crew, lad? Welcome aboard."

"I'm here to find the man I love."

Captain Sparrow stops in his tracks with a disgusted face. "I'm deeply flattered, son, but my first and only love is the sea." He gestures to Gibbs. Norrington is constantly vomiting over the dock railing.

"No, you're the man I love, Captain Jack Sparrow." I pull my hat off and shake my hair loose, smiling.

Jack turns around, confused and surprised in a good way. "Elizabeth?" He turns back to Gibbs. "Hide the rum!" Jack whips back around to Elizabeth. "You know these clothes don't flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin."

"Well, I'm coming with you clothed or not." I glance quickly to my left, startled by Norrington's retching.

"Well then, Love. Welcome aboard." I saunter past him stroking his cheek smiling. I feel his skin shudder as I willingly touch him. I could feel his eyes undressing me as I walk up the gangplank towards The Black Pearl.

Jack whips out his "broken" compass, as Norrington calls it, to find our heading. Jack looks in the direction and sees Elizabeth. "Mr. Gibbs! We have our heading."

"Finally! Cast off those lines! Weigh anchor and trowel that canvas!" Gibbs shouts to the crew. Norrington begins to follow Gibbs with a goat in his muddy arms.
