"But we've got to save Will!" Elizabeth yelled at her father.

"No! You're safe now. We shall return to Port Royal, not go gallivanting after pirates!" Governor Swann concluded. Elizabeth, Maddie, and Beth had been brought aboard the Dauntless after it had spotted the smoke from the burning of the rum.

"You know, that's the tone my dad uses before he raises my allowance about once every three weeks," Maddie commented.

"And technically, we are gallivanting after a blacksmith," Beth added.

"Then we condemn him to death!" Elizabeth told him, clearly distressed.

"He can't die! He's too gorgeous, and I'll have three million fan girls after me if they find out I didn't at least try to save him!" Maddie argued.

"Yeah, she's right!" Beth said.

"Wait did you just agree with Liz?" Maddie asked shocked.

"No, I agreed with you who agreed with her so yes…. I guess I did technically agree with her," She said, puzzled by her actions. "But this is Will's life we're talking about, I can make that sacrifice!"

"Look girls, the boy's fate is regrettable," Governor Swann began. "But so was his decision to engage in piracy.

"To rescue me! To prevent anything from happening to me!" Elizabeth said in a voice close to a whine.

"If I may be so bold as to inject my professional opinion," Jack interrupted. "The Pearl was listing neat to scuppers after battle. It's very unlikely she'll be able to make good time. Think about it," Jack said to Norrington in an almost seductive voice, drawing the attention back to him, "The Black Pearl. The last real threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass this up?"

"By remembering that I serve others, Mr. Sparrow, not only myself," Norrington said immediately, as if reciting it.

"Well, the last real threat in the Caribbean besides us. And Jones, and maybe…Ow!" Beth said as Jack kicked her in the shins. Norrington glared at Beth.

"Davy Jones is not real," He said scornfully.

"Yeah, sure, and I'm Jack's daughter!" Beth laughed. Elizabeth continued the original conversation, "Commodore! I beg you, please do this…for me! As a wedding gift!" The commodore's face lit up.

"Bitch!" Beth whispered in a violent tone.

"Totally, completely, and without a doubt," Maddie added under her breath.

"Elizabeth?" Swann asked, "Are you accepting the Commodore's proposal?"

"I am," She said in what was supposed to be a dramatic, romantic voice.

"A wedding? I love weddings! Drinks all around!" Jack threw his arms in the air in celebration.

"You idiot," Beth said smacking him upside the head.

"I know," He held out his wrists, face wincing, "Clamp'em in irons, right?" The commodore paused, thinking.

"Mr. Sparrow, you will accompany these fine men to the helm and provide us with the bearing to Isle de Muerta. You will then spend the rest of the voyage contemplating all possible meanings of the phrase 'Silent as the grave'. Do I make myself clear?" Norrington said, thinking he was taking charge.

"Inescapably…clear," Jack assured him.

"What to do with you two..." Norrington thought aloud, speaking to Maddie and Beth. "You can accompany my fiancée and try to learn how to be a lady from her."

"WTF!! NOOOOOOOOOOO" Beth ran over to the edge but was grabbed by two men who started to drag her back.

"NONONONONONONONONONNOOO I WILL NOT GO!" She yelled in protest. It took all of Maddie's willpower to keep herself from laughing hysterically.
