Hey, all! :) Thanks for the reviews! I'm surprised I have so many! LOL. The story will be coming to a close soon. I'm making it like 40 chapters and that'll be it. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it, and I know that my chapters can be kind of short, but hey, it's better than nothing, am I right? Well, I'll shut up now. Hehehehe.

Elizabeth was cramped. The table she was hiding under wasn't very roomy. Her knees are pulled up to her chest, with her arms wrapped around them. She just had to know what Will wanted to talk to Jack about. Did it concern her? Was it about the Heart? What could possibly be on Will's mind? She heard the door open and footsteps walking in. This was it. What was Will going to say to Jack?

"Jack, I need to ask you something."

"What is it?"

Will hesitated, and nervously rubbed his hands together. He couldn't believe he was about to do this.

"It's about... Ginger."

"Ginger?"

Under the table, Elizabeth arched an eyebrow at this. What did Will want to know about Ginger?

"Yes. I was just wondering, is she... is she... seeing anyone?"

"You mean, does she have a dearly beloved?"

Will looked embarrassed. He had spent a little bit of time with Ginger after leaving the Flying Dutchman, and he started to like her a little bit. She was attractive, she was a kind woman, she was brave. Plus, maybe pursuing a relationship with Ginger would get him over his feelings for Elizabeth.

"I like her, Jack. I really do. And..."

"You want to try to win her heart? Gotten over Miss Swann, have ye?"

"Not completely. I just figured I should move on. Elizabeth loves you. I'm happy for you two. I really am. I just-"

"Aye, I see. No, she's not involved with anyone. Go talk to her. Don' wait with this one."

"Thank you, Jack."

"No problem, mate."

Will turned to leave, but then stopped himself.

"One more thing, Jack. Norrington told me he wants to stab the heart of Davy Jones. I think you should let him. He can be trusted. Together, we'll get the heart, Norrington will become the new Captain of the Flying Dutchman, and free my father. Then, together the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman will destroy Cutler Beckett once and for all."

Jack nodded his head. "I might. I just need a little bit more time. I don't really know if I can trust him. He hates pirates, Will."

"So did I at one point. I didn't know that there were good pirates as well. I thought them all bad. You, Gibbs, Cotton, Anamaria, Marty, and Ginger have all proven otherwise. I'm a pirate now. As well as Elizabeth. We're the good pirates."

Jack just stood there staring at Will, then he added, "Don't forget old Bootstrap."

Will laughed at this. "Yes, and my father."

He walked outside and shut the door leaving Jack in the galley. Jack scratched his head, and walked over and sat in a chair of the table that Elizabeth was hiding under.

"You can come out now, luv."

Elizabeth's eyes widened. "How did you know I was here?"

Jack laughed at this. "I know you, Lizzie. I knew the second you said you were going to be with Ana and Ginger that you planned on sneaking in here."

Elizabeth crawled out from under the table and took a seat in the chair next to Jack.

"Are you angry with me?"

"Nay, luv. You're a pirate. I prob'ly would've done the same thing you did. You should be happy to know that young William is trying to find love with another."

"Yes, I hope it works out for them. I really do. And Jack, listen, you really should have James stab the heart. I've known James since I was twelve. If Will can learn to get along with pirates, then James can as well."

Jack nodded his head, took Elizabeth's hand and pulled her to sit on his lap.

"All right, luv, the former Commodore may stab the heart."

"Really?"

"Aye. Soon all of this will be over and we can sail wherever we want to with no more complications."

She smiled and rested her head on his chest. He kissed the top of her head.

"I love you, Jack."

"And I you, Lizzie."
