A/N: thank you again for the reviews! I realized that when I introduced Commodore Norringtion in the last chapter, that I might have been wrong calling him "Commodore", because I think he gained that title during his promotion in Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He might have been captain or general, but I have no idea so if anyone knows, please help me so I can change it! Haha. For now, I will call him Commodore.

Disclaimer: I own nothing from potc.

Chapter 4
~*~

The two girls playfully ran over the warming sand. Celeste turned around to look at her cousin, who was red in the face from laughing and running. The two girls collapsed on the beach still giggling as a cool breeze swept over them. "Celeste! You silly girl, you made me tired and hot! Let us go find some shade before I die of heat!" Audrey kidded as she started to stand up. They started walking towards the tree line when something caught Audrey's eye. Celeste turning around to see what Audrey was looking at spotted a distant person walking towards them. Celeste turned back to Audrey and saw the girl waving enthusiastically at the stranger. " Come Celeste! I want you to meet someone!" Audrey said as she pulled Celeste's hand and started walking. As the man came nearer, Celeste noted his chiseled features and good looks. It was man she had met on the beach! He was surely more handsome then she thought, she said to herself as he approached. "Hello ladies, nice to see you again, Audrey" The man smiled and looked at the two girls.

"This is my cousin Celeste Evans" Audrey pointed to her cousin "Celeste, this Will Turner."

"Nice to meet you, Celeste" Will said as he took her hand and brushed his lips softy against it.

"Will is the town's blacksmith's apprentice." Audrey spoke out, trying to make up for her cousin's shyness. Celeste nodded at Audrey in acknowledgement. "I must get back, but it was nice to see you again Audrey, and Celeste" Will sighed

" Will we see you at the ball tonight for the welcoming back of the Daughtless?" Audrey asked.

"If I can get away from my work" Will answered.

"We will look forward to seeing you there perhaps." Audrey said as Will nodded and turned to leave.

The girls watched as he walked away. Audrey turned to Celeste and started to giggle at her cousin's stare. "I do believe you have developed a crush!" Audrey said playfully at Celeste whose cheeks started to blush.

"Well Audrey, I do believe you are wrong!" Celeste voiced back, hoping to conceal her attraction to the young man.

"Alright Celeste," Audrey spoke with a grin "But now we must get back home to get dressed for tonight's ball!"

Celeste looked down at her new green dress, trimmed with white beads. " I look dreadful," she thought to her self "like a frog." She looked down again at her cinched waist and sighed, " this will have to do," she said aloud, trying to comfort herself. She heard voices downstairs, and knowing it was Audrey coming to walk with her, she quickly pinned up her auburn tresses and placed her brightly colored mask with peacock feathers on it atop her head. Celeste heard a knock on her door and swiftly walked across the room to open the door. Audrey, dressed in a bright yellow dress with a rather bright pink and purple mask, enthusiastically complimented Celeste on her costume. "You look wonderful Celeste! But we must hurry before we are late!" Celeste placed her mask on her face and followed the girl downstairs and out the door.

The two girls rushed up towards the Governor Swann's house, where many people who were masked were entering the estate. Celeste heard sounds of music as the passed though the doors and into the grand hall of the Governor's residence.
