Disclaimer: I don't own Jack, Arabella or any of the characters. Thank Disney and Rob Kidd for that! Oh, and I do NOT own this song! Absolutely not, I'm not actually sure who does, but it's sung by Celine Dion... and not owned by me!

Author's Note: Okay, here it is! My NEWEST Sparrabella story! Basically, how screwed up Pirates of the Caribbean would get if Arabella Smith went down to visit Jack in jail after he saved Elizabeth from drowning. Thanks to nineteennintytwo for the idea to put the lyrics in!

EDIT: This chapter has been slightly edited since the 20th September 2009. I've also decided the rest of the story will be written in third person. See bottom A/N, if you want more proof! ;)

Prologue
--

I stopped. I stared at the world around myself. The world darkened by the night air and lingering shadows of Port Royal. My world. My name is Arabella Smith. And I have but one question for you: do you remember me? There is someone – somewhere out on the Seven Seas – I can only hope and wish still does. His name? Captain Jack Sparrow.

Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

It had been years – decades – since I had last seen him, that night; my old captain, best friend... deep down, my first love. I hadn't seen him since I was sixteen. Was it right I was still absorbed in the past, hoping I would see Jack again one day? Don't answer that. I know it's not. It's stupid. Pathetic.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us

But could I help myself, could I stop it? No. It was completely uncontrollable. Almost as if it wasn't my own decision. My heart had disconnected itself from my mind and was working alone. Yearning, wishing, hoping... And it hurt. It truly hurt.

However the thing is, I practised the things I will say to Jack if I ever met him again expecting to never do so deep down. What if I truly did meet him again? What would I say then? I can assure you, you will soon find out.

You have come to show you go on.

Because I would see Jack again. Soon. Too soon. But standing on the beach of Port Royal that very midnight, I didn't know that. It was the first thing, but also the very last thing on my mind. I never expected to face him. I was wrong, so very, very wrong.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

So this is my story. My journey. How I once again reunited with my teenage allies and fell into a life threatening quest of piracy, un-dead creatures, monstrous lords and villainous enemies completely involved. A dangerous journey; something I had never expected to face after leaving my mother and La Fleur de la Morte.

I hope you're intrigued reading this right now. Are you wondering what will truly happen when I really meet Jack again? I can tell you for one thing, this story is both a one of romance but of also angst, horror and violence that will be forever scarred in my memory.

But love brings you through all that, right?

So this is it. The long and twisted tale of I, Arabella Smith, and my further encounters with my oldest and greatest friend – Captain Jack Sparrow.

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one...

Author's Note: Okay, I really rushed that, but I think I did an okay job of it. Yes, I know it's in Belle's point of view – it was just something I thought I'd do after having so much fun with doing it in Thinking of You. AND IT WILL BE IN THIRD PERSON FOR THE REST OF THE STORY! Just so you know.

Well, let me know what you think. Lost Memories and My Name is Jack will be updated soon, I promise you! xD
