Enjoy and thank you for the reviews.

Instead of dealing with knowing Elizabeth, for the time being, Will threw himself into his work. With Jules away visiting family in cold, dull Pennsylvania, he took most of her shifts. That in turn left him not seeing Elizabeth and also having a bit of money on the side. Elizabeth on the other hand didn't actually know that he knew either of course. She didn't mind at the moment, especially since she was in the park taking more pictures for her book. It was a peaceful day actually. There was not a cloud in the sky, though it was pretty cold out too. Elizabeth was just focusing on a squirrel nibbling on a nut when she felt a tapping on her shoulder. "Just a moment please."

"I'd highly recommend not bothering with that animal. If you scare it they're likely to bite you and I know that from personal experience," a voice drawled.

She dropped the camera and slowly turned around. It couldn't be.

"Jack? Jack Sparrow?"

"Captain love."

She promptly fainted in his arms and Jack rolled his eyes.

Elizabeth awoke to cold water being thrown at her face. She spit it out and glared at the man who got her wet.

"That really wasn't necessary Jack," she said vehemently.

"I know love, but it was a bit of fun," he said right before she slapped him then hugged him.

"Oh Jack, what's going on. One day I'm in 1730 and the next I'm in modern day England. What did you do?"

"Why must I always get the blame? I am just as much a victim as you and dear William."

"Will, oh my goodness, does he know?"

"Figured it out just the other night lass. He didn't tell you?"

"He's been avoiding me actually. Oh Jack, how are we going to get back home? I miss my father and he probably misses me terribly."

"We'll figure out something love, don't worry."

Jack was still standing and Elizabeth was still wet and sitting on his couch. She remembered something all of a sudden. "Why don't you come by my hotel room later? I've got a Christmas gift for you."

"Really love, I'm touched."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and stood up. "I'd best be going. I've got myself a plan. I hope it works out."

"Does it involve telling dear William that you remember everything in the hopes that he admits it to you?"

"Why Jack, am I really that transparent?"

Will really hated people right now. That and the fact that they could eat and he couldn't. It was a bloody Tuesday afternoon, nothing at all special. Why the need to come out here and eat?

"Will, someone at the counter for you. It's your girlfriend," one of the waitresses who he couldn't acknowledge at the moment said.

He threw down his rag and went to see Elizabeth sitting at the counter. "What're you doing here?"

"I wanted to invite you for dinner tonight. Is that alright with you?"

Will did in fact have the night off, but with her sweet naive face he wasn't sure. "I don't know..."

"Oh please Will, I'll cook you something in that cute little kitchen in my room."

Now Will knew he had to be there; with the fire extinguisher. "Alright."

"Be there at seven."

She leaned over and gave him a big kiss. The waitresses in the back were all cheering and the customers all sighed.

"See you later," she whispered and left him just standing there staring.

Will didn't know exactly what to expect when he arrived at Elizabeth's hotel room. After knocking, she opened it and gave him a big smile. "Will, it's about time. Come on in, we've got a guest."

Will took off his jacket and handed it to her. "A guest?"

Just then, Jack came into the room and smiled. "'Bout time boy, we were wondering where you were."

"Jack, what're you doing in Elizabeth's room?"

"Will, the captain and I were just discussing our escape route back home. Care to join us?"

"Wait, what?"

"She knows," Jack said and Elizabeth looked at Will with her hands on her hips waiting for some sort of explanation.

"Jack, you told her when I explicitly told you not to."

"No, actually I remembered on my own thanks," she said waiting for the explanation that he wasn't giving.

"Ball's in your court now mate," Jack said and he went to sit down at the dinner table where an unopened box of pizza sat. Will nervously looked into Elizabeth's eyes and she felt herself melt. He kissed her, relishing in the taste of her lips and she did the same.

"You know, you can't kiss like that once we get back home," Jack said from the other room.

They stopped and Elizabeth bit her lip and Will smirked as they went to get some food.

"A'right now, first off we need to figure out what happened just before we got here. William, you first."

Will grabbed a slice, nibbled on it and thought long and hard. "I was...delivering a sword to Norrington I believe. He'd asked for an extra one for his search for you I believe."

"Like he'd find me," Jack muttered.

"Anyway, I sort of...tripped and fell overboard and then I woke up in a hospital."

"So you fell into the water...Jack why're you laughing."

"He tripped. I never thought I'd live to see the day when William Turner admitted to doing something stupid."

They let him laugh for a few more minutes before he finally stopped.

"And how did you get here Jack?"

"We were sailing through a hurricane we were when I lost my footing and fell into the water."

Elizabeth had her mouth wide open and Will was just staring at him.

"You fell," he finally said.

"Thas right."

"Which more or less means you tripped."

Jack thought about it and waved a finger in front of Will's face as he began to grin. "Not the same as you, savvy."

Will continued to laugh until Jack threw a slice of pizza at him. Will was about to fire back when Elizabeth intervened.

"Anyway, I was visiting a colleague of my father when I went to examine the water. I waded only so far before it felt like someone had grabbed me from below."

Jack thought about it while Will made faces behind his back.

"Well, it seems like the three of us fell victim to that ever changing, never the same untamable sea."

Elizabeth, who had the pizza hanging out of her mouth and Will who was still getting sauce off himself just stared at him again.

"And you couldn't just say 'Oh, I think it's the sea'," Elizabeth said.

"Yes, but I thought it would be much more fun that way."

"Anyway, how are we going to go back though," Will asked.

This raised a tricky question. How will they return?

Suddenly, Jack snapped his fingers. "I've got an idea."

Hope you liked it. I really enjoyed writing this chapter just because its the three of them, in a present day setting, acting like they were back then what with confusing Jack, down to earth Elizabeth and Will just being how I think Will would act in that situation. There are only two more chapters after this. Are they going home or will they stay in 2006? Only I know the answer so stay tuned. Review please.
