"I do."
"Ye may now kiss thy bride," said the preacher, smiling.
Both Jack and Judy smiled, and kissed. Cheers rose up all around the Faithful Bride tavern, and the festivities began. Will and Elizabeth walked over to where the newlyweds were.
"Jack," said Will, smiling slyly, "you know it's a tradition for the best man to kiss the bride."
"Well," said Jack, with a wave of his hand, "kiss away. But, don't get too friendly."
Will smiled, and turned towards Judy. He quickly bent over and gave Judy a small kiss on the lips. Judy playfully smacked him in the face.
"Will, if I didn't know better, you were hitting on a married woman."
"Well," said Elizabeth, "Will got to kiss the bride, so I get to kiss the groom."
Elizabeth got up on her toes and gave Jack a peck on the lips. Judy and Will laughed at the look on Jack's face.
"Well, shall we dance, my fair bride?" Jack asked Judy, when Elizabeth and Will went off to do just that. "Of course, my love." So they danced and they danced, and they danced some more. Finally, Judy had to sit down. Jack laughed and gave her a kiss.
"Come on, one more, then we'll cut the cake, love."
"All right," said Judy, standing up, "but just one more, savvy?"
"Savvy."
Jack whirled Judy around. They moved gracefully together, as if their bodies were made to move together. Everyone stopped to watch them dance alone. Finally, Jack bent Judy over. They laughed, forgetting that there was a room full of people around them. They had in fact, forgotten completely, so when the applause rose to their dancing, Jack was so surprised that he dropped Judy. Judy hit her head on the floor, and as people gathered around, everything started getting black. The last thing she saw before she lost all consciousness was Jack.

Judy slowly came around, hearing voices calling her name, telling her
to wake up. "Jack, I'm going to kill you." She mumbled aloud.
"Judy, who's Jack?" "My husband, of course," she started to say, looking around for him, but she stopped midsentence. She wasn't in the Faithful Bride anymore. She wasn't even on the Pearl. She was back in her great grandfather's attic, lying on the floor. Katie and Whiskers were sitting there, looking at her with great concern. Well, Whiskers looked like she was just wondering when she was going to be fed. Kate helped Judy up. "Hold still, I got to look at your head, make sure you don't have a concussion." As Kate checked her over, Judy looked around. No sign of whether or not what she just experienced was real. Judy felt like she was about to burst out crying, but she held them back, for if Kate were to see them, she would definitely think Judy was hurt. "Come on," Kate said, dragging Judy to the door, "time to go home." Judy looked back, and saw the book. It was lying on the floor, next to the chair. She quickly tugged out of Kate's hand, and went to pick it up. She held it longingly in her arms. When she opened it, nothing happened. She looked down at the pages, to see an accurately drawn portrait of Jack.

Judy looked out at the ocean. She loved it on this boat.
Memories of the Black Pearl filled her head. Oh, how she missed Jack.
She leaned over the rail; so far she almost fell over. This was
something she used to do on the Pearl. She loved the danger of it.
Suddenly, someone yelled, "Hey!" It startled her so bad, she fell
overboard. Not again, she thought after she hit the water. Yet again,
the current was too strong, and she was pulled under. But now, Jack's
not here to save me, she thought, fighting to get to the above water.
Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind, and tugged to the surface. As
soon as she hit air, she sucked in as much as she could. But when she
looked to see who had saved her, all she saw was black hair. Her saver
was dragging her back to the boat.
When they finally got back on board, Judy laid on the deck
and coughed her lungs up. The person who saved her did the same.
Finally, Judy's coughing subsided, and she felt a hand on her arm.
"Ms?" said the man who had saved her, "You really should
be more careful next time you lean over a rail."
Judy heard his muddy english accent, and looked up at the
man. Her breath caught in her throught. It was Jack. No, she thought,
it can't be him. She tried standing up, and her legs wobbled. The man
caught her, and held her steady. She looked at him again, closer this
time. He had the same eyes, dark, and the tan, even had a goatee and
mustache, even though his goatee wasn't in two braids, it was too
short for that. And his hair. Black as night, just like Jack's but it
was only shoulder length, and pulled back into a ponytail.
"Miss," he asked, looking at her as funny as she was at
him, "have we met before?"
Judy smiled. "Maybe in another time."

His name was John Sparrow. After a few weeks of him
calling her to make sure she was okay after almost drowning like that,
he finally called up the courage to ask her out. Judy found that he
was almost exactly like Jack. After almost a year of dating, John and
Judy got married, and had two beautiful children together. A boy and a
girl. The boy they named Jack, and the girl Lila (Judie chose both
these names). The boy was the spitting image of his father, and Lila
looked just like Judy. They loved to play pirates.
