Please…review….I think I am going to continue this story.
And thank you so much, my loyal reviewer, thomthom830. –squeezes to death-
Ava woke up next to Jack. What a surprise… She thought sarcastically. It was funny, she didn't seem to mind it anymore. She guessed she had just gotten used to it. She walked out onto the deck, her hangover only plaguing her slightly. Gibbs stood at the helm.
"Where are we going?" She asked. Gibbs smiled.
"Will and Elizabeth's wedding." He replied, moving the wheel the slightest bit to port. Ava nodded and walked back to Jack's cabin, yawning. She always seemed to be tired, no matter how much sleep she got. She climbed back into bed, looking at Jack for a moment. She got a sudden realization. This is Jack. Jack Sparrow. A legend. Right next to me. Right in FRONT of me…how many whores would kill for this? She smiled to herself and fell asleep. Jack woke up later in the morning. The first thing he saw was Ava's face. That was unusual, usually he saw her back. He blinked, making sure it was her face. It still was. Instead of getting out of bed, he laid there, trying to figure this out. Ava started to wake up for a second time. She saw Jack's face and almost screamed. She had never woken up like this either.
"Hey, hey, don't ye go yellin' at me! I woke up and there ye where, with yer face!" Jack defended himself, his voice becoming more slurred with defense. Ava nodded.
"It's alright, it's alright." She said and looked at the clock. Nine thirty. She sighed and stood up. It was then that she realized she'd forgotten to say hi to Cookie. She rushed out of Jack's cabin and towards the helm, but Gibbs still stood there. She looked up at the crow's nest, but Felix resided there. She ran to the galley and sighed. "I'm so sorry! I woke up late!" She apologized. Cookie laughed a bit.
"It's fine, trust me." He said. He was cooking what looked to be French toast. He smiled at her. "You said you wanted it the morning before you left, so I decided to make it now that you are back." He said. Ava smiled.
"Aww, that's so sweet." She said. "Thank you, Cookie." He smiled.
"No problem, Ava." He said.
"You need any help?" She asked. Cookie thought about this. He shrugged.
"Could you just put these in that batter and onto the pan?" He asked, holding the pieces of bread out. Ava nodded.
"Certainly. How do you like them?" She asked, standing beside him.
"Not too eggy. Very little." He said. Ava nodded and made two that had only been dipped in the batter for a second. She then made the rest as custardy as they would get. Cookie and Ava brought the food out together, placing plates with two pieces of toast each in front of everyone. Ava finished by putting a bottle of syrup on the table. She laughed as all the pirates grabbed for it. She cleared her throat, sitting down.
"Ladies first." She said, picking up the syrup and pouring it over her French toast. She then put it back into the middle and watched the others scramble for it. It made her happy to see Cookie join in the argument about the rights of the syrup. While the rest of the crew was fighting the syrup, Ava contently ate her French toast. She finished just after most of the crew had gotten their syrup. Jack looked at her and then down to her empty plate.
"How…?" He asked. Ava smiled.
"I was the smart one this time, Jack Sparrow." She said, smirking. Jack laughed.
"Fine, fine ye win." He said, taking a sip of water.
"How many days until we get to Port Royal?" Ava asked. Jack thought about this for a second.
"A few. Maybe one or two." He answered. Ava nodded.
The two days past quickly, Ava's days spent with talking to Cookie and nights spent with Felix, Nacho and Matt.
"LAND!" Ava screamed, as she saw the shores of Port Royal approaching. She quickly climbed down the rigging and met up with Jack. "So I'm meeting Will and Elizabeth?" She asked. Jack nodded.
"Yep. The Eunuch and Lizzy." He said.
"Eunuch?" Ava asked, intrigued. He nodded.
"I'm sure of it. Just wait till you see him." He said. Ava punched his arm.
"Be nice, I'm sure he's just fine." Ava said. Jack rolled his eyes and proceeded to order his crew about. As they pulled into Port Royal, Jack took Ava to the other side of the ship where they would be alone.
"Look. Ol' Norrie there wants me head. He's only letting me here on Will and Lizzy's request." He said, looking about nervously. "If they see you, say you're here with Jack… your uh… his husband or something." Jack said, throwing some random title in. Ava nodded.
"Got it. Steer clear of Norrie, and if I do meet him, I'm your wife or something." She said with a smile. Jack smiled as well.
"Right… I'll lead your to their house… Just be careful." He warned. He walked off the gangplank and onto the deck. It took them a good fifteen minute walk to arrive at the couple's house. It was a large mansion, a gate in front. Ava was amazed how they could afford such a place. "She's the governor's daughter." Jack told her.
"Ahh…" Ava said, walking up to the door. Elizabeth answered it.
"Oh Jack, you made it!" She exclaimed gleefully. He nodded.
"I did." He said, smiling.
"Well, come in, come in!" She said, opening the door wider. He walked in, and Ava followed. "Now who is this?" Elizabeth asked. Jack smiled.
"This is me friend, Ava." He said.
"Hello." Ava said, shaking Elizabeth's hand.
"I'm Elizabeth, but you can call me Lizzy if you like." She said. Ava smiled.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lizzy." She said. Lizzy smiled.
"And a pleasure to meet you as well.
"Now that we're all acquainted, where is that eunu- I mean Will?" Jack asked. Ava giggled. Elizabeth pointed to a room to the right of them. Jack sauntered into it, smiling at Will. "Ello, Will!" He exclaimed. Ava could see that he was resisting the urge to call him 'eunuch'. "This is my friend Ava." Jack said.
"Will Turner." Will said. Ava smiled.
"Ava." She said. Will chuckled and sat down.
"Ava, Lizzy will get a dress for you in just a moment. I will be busy with Jack, getting clothes for him." Will said. Ava could see the look of disgust on Jack's face.
Later that day, Ava and Lizzy stood in her bedroom, looking at dresses.
"Oh, I like this one!" Ava exclaimed, pointing to a green dress with a layer of white lace over it. A large red ribbon was tied around the waistline. She grabbed it and tried it on.
"Thank goodness we're the same size… I don't know what would happen if we weren't!" Lizzy said, sighing with relief. "That looks good. Would you like to wear it?" She asked. Ava nodded. "Defianatly." She said happily. The next day the wedding would take place. Ava prepared for it by taking a bath that evening and getting to sleep early. Jack and her had separate rooms, which she felt she should be happy about, but it actually felt lonely and cold.
The next morning, Ava heard Elizabeth shouting and decided it was time to get up. She slowly put on her dress, not having much energy. Elizabeth burst into her room and was extremely surprised to see her fully dressed.
"You're the only one who can get ready around here!" She sighed. Hours later, a group of women stood in the church, Ava one of them. Elizabeth was giddy and perfecting every detail. Ava truthfully thought she was overdoing it, but just stood back and rolled her eyes. But she had to admit that Elizabeth looked beautiful. Her hair was done up in a bun, some curly strands left dangling around her neck. Her wedding dress cut off at the shoulders, and she had white gloves up to her elbows. Her dress was very poufy, especially in the back. It had some sort of stone sewn into it. Either diamonds or crystals, and Ava guessed at the latter. She looked through a small window in the door and saw Will and Jack. She became more nervous by the second.
"It's time." Elizabeth's maid said. She nodded and someone opened the door for her. She made her entrance as Ava made her exit. She snuck around the back and into a seat just before Elizabeth took her place the altar. Jack stood up there with four girls. The sight of him in wedding clothes was not one she would forget soon. The ceremony was long and boring, she could tell even Will was not enjoying it… and Jack… Well… Jack had lost his attention about an hour ago. He would smile at random people in the crown and see how they reacted. Just before Will and Elizabeth said their vows, Ava looked behind her and was astonished to see Norrington. She quickly looked the other way, hoping he hadn't seen her face. Elizabeth and Will had just finished their vows and the priest was not speaking in some different language. After that, he allowed them a kiss. They walked out to a carriage and rode off toward the reception. Everyone else shuffled out of the church, their own carriage's waiting. Ava caught up with Jack. She smiled.
"How was that?" She asked. Jack rolled his eyes and didn't answer. "Hey, Jack, Jack, how many layers of fabric you think you got on there?" She asked, teasing. Jack sighed unhappily as they got into a carriage. "Hey… Norrington sat behind me. I don't think he saw me though." She added, as he began to tense up.
"Well, at the little reception, I think you can let your guard down a bit… You can even watch, if you like." He said and winked.
"Oh?" Ava said, raising her eyebrows. He nodded.
"It's gunna be good." He said, smiling. They arrived at the reception late (fashionably, of course) and strolled in, glad to see no one taking notice of them. Jack walked straight up to Norrington and poked him in the back. Ava stood nearby, watching. "Well, 'Ello, Norrie." He said. Norrington rolled his eyes.
"Sparrow." He said. Jack nodded vigorously.
"Yes?" He asked. Norrington sighed and turned around. Jack strolled around so he was next to the Commodore. He put his arm around Norrington's shoulders. The look on his face was of pure disgust. "Well, I was thinkin', maybe one day we could… join forces and ye could make ME the Commodore." He began. Norrington had to chuckle at that.
"Sparrow, first you must LOOK the part." He said. Jack's face was serious. He pointed down to his clothes.
"Does this count?" He asked, sweeping his hand in front of his clothes in a flourish. Norrington sighed.
"And, you must SMELL the part." He said. Norrington looked smugly up at Jack. "Well, Sparrow?" He asked. Jack smirked.
"I took a shower yesterday. Cleaner than you." He said.
"Well… then just no." Norrington said, shaking Jack's arm off. Jack put on a face of sorrow.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye… Norrie." He said and took off. He ran to Ava, who was laughing in the corner.
"Oh my god, when you put your arm around him, you should have seen his face!" She exclaimed, still laughing. Will looked at them from the other side of the room. He walked over. When he arrived, Ava was leaning against the wall for support.
"What happened over here?" Will asked. Jack smiled.
"I met Norrie again today." He said.
a/n- I didn't mean to end it there, but I have to go to school, and I just wanted to post this quickly. :De wHe
