Elizabeth blew a stubborn bit of hair out of her eyes. She gazed around the ship and sighed. Everyone was trying to figure out why the pirate was on the ship and more importantly how. Elizabeth wasn't concerned on how or why the pirate was aboard the Black Pearl, but Will's last words to her.

She took a glance at Will who was busy discussing on what to do with the pirate. Jack was sitting and drinking his rum.

"Typical." Elizabeth said to no one in particular.

"Lock him in the brig!" Jack yelled in his drunken state. The crew just ignored Jack and continued to discuss what to do with the pirate.

"I say we lock him in the brig." Gibbs suggested agreeing with Jack's idea.

"Walk the plank. Walk the plank." Squawked Mr. Cotton's parrot.

"I say we lock him in the brig and keep him there until he decides to answer our questions." Will stated plainly. Elizabeth walked over to him.

"Are you ready to talk, yet?"

Will stood there staring blankly at her for about a minute before finally answering.

"I think I am." They walked away from the crew who was busy trying to get answers from the pirate. Elizabeth turned around to check and make sure that Jack wasn't following them, but he was still busy drinking his rum and shouting random stuff out at the crew.

As soon as they entered an empty room, she sat on the nearest chair.

"I'm tired of this." She said suddenly, "I miss you Will, I really do." She got up and crossed the room in two strides towards him. She turned his face towards her.

"Nothing happened between me and Jack. I promise."

Will stood there staring into Elizabeth's eyes.

"Will please-" Elizabeth was cut off, by Will who leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

"Elizabeth it's been so hard for me to stay mad at you." Will said quietly, while holding Elizabeth.

"Will, I'm so sorry I should've told you why I kissed Jack. I just… I don't know why I didn't tell you."

He smiled softly.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Elizabeth kissed him softly.

"Always have and always will." A man suddenly burst into the room.

"Excuse me Miss, but Mr. Turner we need to see you above deck."

Will reluctantly pulled away, leaving Elizabeth happier than she had been in quite some time. She stumbled backwards into a chair and replayed the events over and over in her head. Jack soon stumbled into the room shaking her of her revere.

"Hello, love." He slurred, tripping over a table and tumbling over, the contents in his pocket spilling out onto the floor.

"Oh bugger." He got down onto his hands and knees and began picking them back up and shoving them in his pocket. Elizabeth's eyes scanned the materials scattered around the floor, until she spotted something familiar by his foot. Without thinking twice, she casually picked it up and shoved it behind her.

Jack clambered to his feet and dusted himself off, as if contaminated.

"So tell me Elizabeth, did dear William forgive you?"

"As a matter of fact he did!" Elizabeth replied hotly, she was getting sick of Jack popping in every other minute to ask how she was doing.

"Great! We should celebrate with RUM!" Jack said, he was obviously still drunk, and all he could think about was rum. Elizabeth rolled her eyes as Jack started making his way to the door. When Elizabeth was sure that he wasn't going to turn around she brought the familiar object out from behind her back.

Jack's compass sat in her hands and she slowly opened it afraid of the answer she was about to receive. The compass arrow tilted back and forth until it stopped, when Elizabeth looked up, to see what it was pointing at, she saw Jack's smiling face.

"Let's keep this between you and me, right?" He said, "I presume that is what you were about to tell me?"

"No." She said angrily, "I was going to tell you that this is broken."

"Works find for everyone else." He smirked.

"Then you bewitched it!" She declared.

He gazed at her blackly for a while.

"You're right. You caught me. I bewitched it with my crew of miscreats over a flaming cauldron." Jack started smirking from his statement, and stared at Elizabeth for her reply. Elizabeth just stood there frowning at Jack.

"Very funny, did you guys have little wands to go with you cauldron?"

"As a matter of fact we do!" Jack answered smiling with sarcasm. She moved to walk around him, but he stopped her.

"Elizabeth when are you finally going to give into me?"

"The day I go insane." She retorted.

"Ah, but we've already established that you are insane, and I don't see you giving into me."

"Very well." She lifted up her dress slightly. "I will give into my burning love for you the day I stop being insane."

"Never." He offered.

"Precisely." With that she pushed passed him and walked over to open the door.

"Miss Swan." Jack began, Elizabeth could sense the seriousness in his voice, "I hope you know by now that the compass shows your heart's true desire." He turned his body to face Elizabeth and waited for her reply.

"I am aware of that Mr. Sparrow; therefore your compass must be broken." With that she slammed the door in Jack's face.

Elizabeth made her way above deck to see the crew still questioning the pirate. She saw Will standing among the crew, so she called out to him.

"WILL!" She shouted. Will turned to see Elizabeth smiling and waving at him. He couldn't help but smile back and started making his way to her.

"Has the prate said anything yet?" Elizabeth asked as soon as Will reached her.

"No." He lied; knowing that the pirate was sent by Lord Beckett whom they all thought was dead. Elizabeth smiled softly at him.

"I love you so much." Will pulled her to him by her waist and kissed her forehead softly.

"I'm going to go talk to them, alright?" Elizabeth nodded and spun around, walking over to the edge of the ship. She leaned over and allowed the spray of the sea to mist her face. She sighed, hating herself for not being able to get a certain drunken someone off her mind.

As if on cue, Jack came clambering up the steps and tripping over the last one.

"I'M ALL RIGHT!" Jack shouted, as if everyone cared whether or not he was. Elizabeth tried her best to ignore him, but it was hard, especially since he whispered into her ear.

"Hello, love." Those words sent chills up Elizabeth's spine, but she continued to ignore him. Jack noticed Elizabeth's cold behavior, and decided to leave her alone. Elizabeth was surprised by Jack's actions, decided to turn around and look at him. At the same time Jack turned and smiled at her.

"I knew you couldn't resist." Jack said smugly. Elizabeth could feel her face heat up, so she whipped around and looked out to the sea again.

I can't stand that man. She thought to herself, but a smile still spread across her face from Jack's cleverness.

"What are you smiling about?" Will asked with a smile of his own.

"Love." She quickly replied, touching his cheek, "It's a wonderful thing isn't it?"

Will smiled, "Listen, I have to go below deck with a few men to decide what we're going to do about that pirate."

"I don't understand why it's such a big deal, and besides I thought you guys figured out what you were going to do to him?" She said, "But alright, go if you must." She turned around and looked down at the water that didn't look as welcoming as before because it was steadily becoming darker outside.

"There's one more thing." Will said, "Could you find Jack and make sure he doesn't interrupt?"

She laughed. "Alright, but only for you." She strode away, rubbing her arms in an attempt at friction. She listened to the steady sound of her heels as she walked across the hard wood floor, she loved the feel and sound of something constant, for everything seemed so uncertain these days.

Elizabeth spotted Jack leaning over the back of the ship gazing out into the water. She watched him for a while. He wasn't saying a sly, drunken remark. He was just…there, looking calm and collected.

"Elizabeth, please stop undressing me with your eyes." He said without turning around.

She rolled her eyes, "I came to tell you that you're ordered to stay above deck and away from the meeting."

Jack spun around, "Why?" He asked curiously.

"Because you're an embarrassment and they're afraid you'll screw everything up."

"Oh…alright."

Elizabeth went over and stood beside him.

"Will you do something for me Jack?" She asked suddenly and somewhat nervously.

"Depends."

She pulled something out of her pocket and shoved it into Jack's chest.

"Will you open it for me?"

Jack looked down as he felt his eyes widen.

It was the compass.
