This story starts, of course, at the end. So, kinda a sequel, I guess.

"No," Elizabeth said, taking off Will's hat. "He's a pirate."
'A pirate' Commodore Norington halted at those words. He would not let the lady of his heart be taken away by a pirate. One of the lower class, no less. He convinced himself he was not being selfish, wanting Elizabeth, but doing his duty to Port Royal.
Commodore grabbed the Governor as he walked past him.
"Do you really want your daughter to marry a pirate? An ex-blacksmith no less." He said, stressing the words 'pirate', and 'blacksmith'.
"And you suggest I do what? You know my daughter, Commodore. She is as stubborn as they come. And she is in love with the boy." The Governor sighed.
"Sir, it is our duty to hang pirates. Love cannot change the law." The Commodore said.
"Nor can it change your duty. She must understand that. Do what you must." The Governor said, giving permission himself to the Commodore to hang his daughter's lover.
Commodore nodded, and turned away, so that Governor Swann didn't see the smirk on his face. He couldn't wait to see Turner in the noose, and Elizabeth in his arms.
He reached the pair unnoticed, resisting the urge to cut Turner's throat right then as he saw them kissing.
"William Turner," Commodore spoke, and broke the pair up. "You are under arrest for word you are a pirate." He said pressing the blade Will himself had made for him to the maker's throat.
"Commodore!" Elizabeth said shocked. She moved in front of Will, causing Commodore to retract his blade for fear of hurting her.
"When we returned here, my father granted him clemency." She said angrily.
"For the piracy acts. Now he under charge of being a pirate himself." Commodore said.
"He has no mark of a pirate." Elizabeth argued.
"Miss Elizabeth, if you would please move. This pirate belongs with all the others." Commode said, ignoring her last comment.
"You're absolutely right, mate! A pirate belongs at sea, not some bloody port!" came a voice that was oddly familiar.
"Jack!" Elizabeth shouted, relieved and anxious at the same time.
"I thought you fell." Will said, confused.
"I did, me boy, but I came back to see you too and find out about the wedding!" Jack said in usual manner.
"Mr. Sparrow-" Commodore started to say.
"Captain Sparrow," Jack interrupted.
"I was going to let you have a days head start," Commodore went on like he never heard him. "But now it is back to the noose with you. And this time you'll have company."
"Lucky me." Jack said.
"A Commodore should not go back on his word." Elizabeth spat.
"And neither Governor's daughter marry a pirate." Commodore replied.
"What's wrong with a pirate?" Jack asked the Commodore.
"Everything." Commodore said.
"I'm sorry you feel that way." Jack said before swaggering over to the Commodore. "Because being a pirate is very-" Jack didn't finish his sentence as he took Commodore's sword and kicked the man over.
"Commodore." Gilette said as he came out to discuss some 'important' issue with Norrington. "Pirates!" he yelled as he saw Captain Jack Sparrow standing there with Commodore's sword, the Commodore trying to stand up from where he was laying.
"I think it's time for us to go." Jack said to the couple, and went to the ledge.
"You expect us to jump off?" Will asked him.
"No! I expect you to stay here and get hanged while I jump off and swim to me ship!" Jack said.
Will looked over the edge, then back at Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth, maybe you should stay here." Will said, knowing she wouldn't like it. "You belong here, not with pirates."
Elizabeth put her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Being kidnapped by pirates, fighting pirates, and sailing with pirates is not enough to convince you?"
"I hate to interrupt, but now is maybe not the time to discuss this." Jack said, looking at them, then at all the soldiers coming nearer.
"I love you, Will, and I will not stay with people who won't let me do that." She said softly to him. She kissed him gently, then took his hand and jumped off, pulling Will along with her.
