Gin: Thanks for the constructive criticism. Sorry I forgot to mention that this story is slight AU.

Krissa: Hope you like this chapter as much as you liked the 1st one!

Jack Sp- excuse me, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow lowered the anchor into the bay. He and his crew had finally arrived in Port Royal, and now they could relax and go to bed. Jack yawned. It was 2:00 in the morning.

Jack scanned the horizon with his telescope. He grinned when he saw that the dock was pleasantly free of the red suits that meant Royal Navy. He was in enough trouble with them as it was. Just then, Jack thought he heard something. It sounded like - Jack strained his ears - like oars, slicing through the water. Jack trained the telescope to the source of the noise.

"Will! Elizabeth!" Warmly, Jack smiled at the couple. He lowered a rope down the side of the ship, and Will and Elizabeth climbed it.

"And what brings you two out here in the middle of the night?"

"We need to get away" Will answered.

"I can't marry Norrington" Elizabeth said at the same time.

Jack's eyes twinkled. "Not such women of your word after all, are ye lass? Well, ye can come with us if you'd like. We'll be here until tomorrow afternoon, pickin' up supplies."

"We'll watch over your ship for ya, then."

"Jack smiled. "Thanks. Now, let me show you guys to your room."

Jack led the couple downstairs to a roomy stateroom.

"But these are your quarters!" Elizabeth protested.

"Nay, my quarters are across the hall. This is the first mate's room, but Gibbs prefers to sleep with the crew."

Elizabeth yawned just then, and Jack left the young couple to themselves so that they could get some rest. Or rather, so they could "get some rest".

The next afternoon, the ship set sail out of Port Royal. Elizabeth and Will stood up on the deck with Jack.

"Elizabeth?"

"What is it, Will?"

Will shook his head. "Never mind" he answered.

Meanwhile, back at the Governor's mansion, everything was in complete chaos.

"What do you mean, she's not here?"

"I looked everywhere, sir, every room in the house. And, well, it's just like I said. She isn't here."

Just then, their next-door neighbor knocked on the door.

"I just thought you might like to know, sir. William Turner's missing!"

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!" Will, Jack, and Elizabeth were singing, slightly tipsy from the rum they had had at dinner. Gibbs and Anamaria came up on deck.

"Gibbs, where d' you think we should go?"

"How about St. Croix, sir?" Gibbs answered with a twinkle in his eyes. "There's a wealthy island for ya!"

"St. Croix it is!" Jack rose to take his leave, and walked away with Gibbs and Anamaria following. This left Will and Elizabeth alone on the deck, watching the sunset. (A.N: How romantic!)

"Elizabeth?"

"Yes, Will?"

"It may seem a bit- well- off to ask you this on what was supposed to be your wedding night, but -" Will took a deep breath - "Will you marry me?"

"Of course! Nothing would make me happier than to become Mrs. William Turner!"

Will kissed Elizabeth. "Shall we go celebrate?"

"What did you have in mind, Mr. Turner?" Elizabeth asked saucily.

"Why don't you come with me and find out?" And with that, the couple headed down to their bed.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Commodore John Norrington paced his bedchamber agitatedly.

"Damn her! Damn her and that little pansy- boy, Will! I needed this marriage, dammit!"

Well, that Turner boy would get his. John smiled. 'What would it be like' he wondered 'to be killed with a sword you had made by hand?'

"Ye know I can perform legally binding marriage ceremonies?"

"No, actually, I didn't know that" replied Elizabeth.

"Ye forget lass, I'm"-

-"Captain Jack Sparrow, we know, we know" said Will.

Jack began rifling through the doors in his desk. "I know they're here somewhere - ah ha!" Jack extracted two pieces of parchment.

"See? This certifies that, as a captain, I can perform the ceremony, and here is a marriage license."

(A.N: I don't know if they had marriage licenses back then, or if captains can really perform legally binding marriages, but go with me on this, people!)

Elizabeth and Jack signed the paper, and Gibbs and Anamaria were called in as witnesses.

Jack cleared his throat. "Everyone 'ere? Let's get on with it, then."

Will and Elizabeth stood expectantly in front of Jack.

"Do you, Elizabeth, take William Turner to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold in sickness and in health and all that good stuff?"

"I do."

"Will, same question."

"I do."

"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." Will proceeded to do so with great passion. Just then, Jimmy appeared on the deck.

"We've just reached St. Croix, sir."
