"Oh my gosh, it's the King!"
"Oh my!"
"Isn't he dashing?"
"King Andrew! Yoo-hoo!"

King Andrew Driftwood of Alpinotch had just arrived in his horse drawn carriage with his wife, Emily Driftwood by his side. The women of Alpinotch gathered around the King, pushing Emily completely out of the way. Of course, Emily was use to this routine and went ahead of her husband inside the small shop to order a new dress for her daughter back at the Castle.

"Will you sign my arm?" asked a lady
Andrew hesitated. "You don't have parchment?"
"No sir!"
"Ohhh, alright." Andrew said and quickly signed the woman's arm.

Once he had finished signing the woman's arm, he quickly signed many more parchments of paper, a hat, the back of a potato sack and some man's horse.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly, you want me to sign your horse?"
"Yeah!" the man grinned "Money is really tight and the horse would be worth tons if you did."
Andrew shrugged "Alright, spent it well!" and he signed the horse.

Finally, the people in town had all cleared because they all got their autographs so Andrew proceeded towards the door when someone from behind wrapped their arms around his waist.
"Soldier!" he shouted, but the person behind him covered his mouth before the full word could escape. The hand on his hip slowly moved itself up to his shoulder. In the corner of his eye, he could see a figure with shoulder-length coffee-brown hair making it's way to face him.

Soon, Andrew could fully see a woman with a grin on her face standing before him. Her wavy hair lay neatly on her shoulders, her long bangs were pushed to the side of her face and her black hat was pointed down.

"Hello Andrew." she said in her Latina accent, slowly removing her hand from his mouth and back down to her side. "Miss me?"

His jaw dropped as he took her all in. "An-Angelica!" he said and embraced her in a huge hug. "What are you doing here? Where's Jack?"

Angelica unwrapped her arms from around his neck and frowned. "That is actually why I have come." she said quietly. "But I want to talk privately."

"Oh, well, um, yes. Emily, dear!" he called inside the shop. "I'm heading home. The carriage will be here for you. I will walk, something has come up."

Emily, a young red headed woman took one glance at Angelica and nodded.

"So you came here hoping I could help you save Jack?" Andrew asked, finishing off his tea and setting it cup down on the little plate it had been served on.

"Yes." she simply said. Her tea was untouched. "You know the trade route."

"That I do." Andrew said and leaned back in his chair, propping his feet up on the table. Angelica couldn't help but to smile. "What?" he asked

"You haven't changed."

"You have."

Angelica furred her brows. "Oh?"

"It's not bad." he said quickly. "Just...something is different about you. Tell me, whats been going on for the past 4 years or so?"

"The usual." she said "Chasing ships, running from them, saving Jack, getting captured, saving Jack, bringing my father back to life, saving Jack, taking care of a child."

Andrew whistled. "A kid? I have two now."

"Two?" Angelica smiled.

"Yeah, we had a boy. But who cares about that, I want to hear about youhaving a baby. I mean, honestly, I can't imagine you giving birth."

"I can't either." Angelica said. "And the child isn't mine."

Andrew 's feet fell from the table and he leaned in. "Did Jack...cheat?"

Angelica laughed "No. We found her. Her mother was dead, so I brought her back to the ship."

"Ahhh, I see. Well, then nothing's changed between the two of you then."

"No, I guess not." Angelica said "Now about saving Jack?"

"Right." Andrew said and pulled out a map and spread it across the table. "You want this route." he pointed to one of many marked in black ink.

"Okay." she said, tracing it with her eyes over and over again. "I guess I'll return to the Black Pearl now. Thank you." she got up, but Andrew grabbed her wrist.

"Without me? I think not!"

"You aren't coming, are you?" Angelica smiled.

"I am coming, with you. I miss saving Jack! I haven't been on the water since you last dropped me off here!"

"What about Emily?"

"She's a big girl, she'll understand. She knows all about you and Jack and Gibbs and the Black Pearl. I'll just leave her a note and we can go."

So Angelica and Andrew walked together to the Black Pearl that was docked. The whole time it was laughs, smiles and stories about their life the past 4 years. It was nice being with an old friend.

Oh, I love Andrew!

That you do readers, that you do. Andrew is pretty hot stuff...and he's a King. AND, he hangs with the coolest pirates you will ever meet. You have every right to be jealous of Emily!
