Weeks passed. The Lady Emerald sailed deep into the middle of the Caribbean. Crystal was at her post on the crow's nest. She noticed some storm clouds forming way off in the distance.

"Crystal!" someone called up to her. Crystal snapped her focus away from the clouds and looked down to see Mr. Gibbs. "The Captain wants to see you! I'll take your post for you." She got up and climbed down some rope. When she reached the deck, she let Gibbs go up the rope to take her place. She then made her way to the Captain's Cabin. Once there, she knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Will asked on the other side of the door.

"Crystal. Gibbs told me you wanted to see me, Sir," she replied.

"Oh yes," Will said and opened the door. "Come on in." She entered. The Captain's Cabin looked a bit small and crowded with too much unneeded furniture. Papers and maps were strewn about. On a desk was an updated map of the Caribbean. Will was in the middle of charting a course on the map. Will sat down in crooked wooden chair and gestured to the chair across from him for Crystal to sit in. Crystal sat down in it. Her chair was worn and the wood on the legs had splinters coming off it. It was a good thing Crystal was wearing pants.

"Crystal," Will said. "You remind me of when I was younger."

"I do?" she asked.

"Aye. When I was around eleven I left England to find my father. My mother had died and I was able to search for him. I was on a ship as a ship boy's. The ship was called the HMS Seagull. Then we were attack by pirates. The ship was destroyed. I survived and the next thing I knew I saw the face of the woman I will always love," Will started. "Her name is Elizabeth Swann. She's the governor of Port Royal's daughter. I was taken back to Port Royal and became an apprentice to Mr. Brown, the blacksmith…" And so Will told his side of the tale of Aztec Gold Adventure. Then he went on to tell her about Davy Jones having Bootstrap Bill aboard as his crew member and so on.

"So," Crystal said after she listened to Will's story. "Your goal is to find this heart of Davy Jones and kill him so you can set your father free?" Will nodded. "So where is Miss Swann?"

"She is…" Will started when there was a knock on the door. Will got up and opened it. "Yes?"

"Captain," a crew member said. "We found a stowaway on board."

"Alright. Lets go see who they are and what they are doing here. Crystal, would you like to come?" Will said.

"Sure." Crystal got up and Will and her followed the crew member to the brig. Once there, Will immediately recognized the stowaway.

"Elizabeth!" he exclaimed, taking the keys out of his pocket and unlocking the brig. Once out of her prison, Elizabeth flung her arms around Will's neck and embraced him tightly.

"Will!" she replied. "I followed you here."

"I can see that," Will said. "I thought you were searching for Anamaria."

"I left Cotton to do that. I couldn't let you go on an adventure without me," Elizabeth said and smiled. Will released her from the embrace and laughed. Elizabeth then noticed Crystal who was staring at Elizabeth in confusion. Will cleared his throat.

"Right. Crystal, this is Elizabeth Swann. Elizabeth, this is Crystal Barbossa," Will introduced. Crystal extended her hand to be shaken. Elizabeth shook it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Swann. I've heard so much about you," Crystal said.

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Barbossa," Elizabeth replied. "I know someone with the surname Barbossa and you have his eyes."

"Is his name Captain Hector Barbossa?" Crystal asked.

"Yes. How did you know?"

"He's my father," Crystal said proudly.

"I see," Elizabeth, taking in this new information. "Barbossa never mentioned he had a child."

"He doesn't know I exist," Crystal said plainly.

"That would explain a lot."

"Lets go back to my cabin," Will suggested. "We can talk more there."

"Alright," both girls said in unison and the trio walked back up to Will's cabin.
