We were in Tia Dalma's shack and everyone is very silent.

Tia walked in with a tray of drinks and offered one to Elizabeth, "Against da cold. And da sorrow." she walked over to Will, " It's a shame. I know you're tinking that with the Pearl, you could've set free your father's soul."

"It doesn't matter now. The Pearl's gone... along with its captain." Will threw his knife into the table.

It's captain was gone a long time ago...

"Aye. And already the world seems a bit less bright. He fooled us all, right to the end. But I guess that honest streak finally won out." Gibbs raised his mug, "To Jack Sparrow!"

"Never another like Captain Jack." Ragetti looked close to tears.

"He was a gentleman of fortune, he was." Pintel nodded.

"He was a good man." Elizabeth said quickly and took a drink.

"If there was anything to be done to bring him back..." Will started to say.

"Would you do it?" Tia spoke up, "What would any of you be willing to do? Will you sail to de ends of de earth and beyon' to fetch back witty Jack and 'im precious Pearl?"

"Aye." said Gibbs.

"Aye." Pintel and Ragetti at the same time.

"Aye." Cotton's parrot squawked.

"Yes." Elizabeth nodded.

"Aye." Will quietly agreed.

Tia looked at me, but I just looked back.

Why would I want to bring him back?

She moved on, "All right. But if you're going to brave de weird and haunted shores at world's end... den, you will need a captain who knows dos waters."

We heard footsteps on the stairs and all the others stood up, but I stayed seated.

It'll probably be some zombie that she-

"So, tell me... What's become of my ship?" a familiar voice asked.

Can it be!?

I turned around and sure enough there he was. My Hector had come back from the grave. I was so shocked that my feet were rooted to the floor.

Then he spotted me and opened his arms, "Sylvia."

I flew to him, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a long kiss.

I can't believe he's alive!

I pulled away and leaned my forehead against his, whispering, "I thought I lost you."

He smiled, "Ye can't get rid of me that easy."

I smiled too and put my head on his shoulder, smelling the familiar aroma of rum and sea water.

Now I'm willing to rescue Jack.

The End
