Cat woke up to the commotion above. She pulled out her dagger and checked her appearance in the blade. **Oh, now this won't do.** She thought, trying to scrub off the dried tearstains on her face. After parting with Jack last night, she had returned to the hold and promptly began to sob. He was the first thing she thought about when she got up, and the last thing she thought about before she fell asleep. Her stomach always felt empty, even after she had just eaten. **I can't do this to him anymore,** she had thought. **I'm in love.**

Jack stood smiling on the bow. Looking at his compass, then snapping it shut, Jack turned the ship a little to the west. Once they docked at Port Royal, he hoped to see Will and Elizabeth and introduce them to Cat.
"Cep" he said, motioning him to come over to him. Cep walked over briskly.
"Aye, Sir?" he asked.
"Cep, when we dock at Port Royal, would you kind enough to stay aboard and watch the ship? We have to be careful, especially in this day when pirates are not considered 'acceptable' in society." He said, giving Cep a disgusted look.
"Aye, Sir." Cep replied.
"Well good then. Glad I got that squared away." Jack said, looking at his compass again.
Cep smiled. **This is going all too well for me.** he thought.

They arrived at Port Royal around noon, just in time for lunch. Everyone went their separate ways, except for Cep, who stayed to watch the Pearl. Jack dragged Cat off the boat and up the road to the Governor's house, where he knew Will and Elizabeth were staying. When they finally got there, Jack rapped on the door. A butler opened the door and Jack marched right in.
"Uh.Sir?" the butler began, but quickly stopped when Jack smiled at him, revealing a mouth full of gold. Cat still stood in the doorway.
Jack heard a sword being drawn nearby. He pulled out his sword just as Will jumped out, ready to fight. Their swords hit a few times before Will, collapsing in laughter, came over and hugged Jack. Elizabeth appeared at the tops of the stairs.
"Jack!" she said, running down.
"Elizabeth, darling!" said Jack, grinning.
After quick hellos, Will and Elizabeth noticed the woman standing in the doorway.
"Ah," said Jack, following their gaze, "this is Catherine, a member of the crew."
"It's very nice to meet you, Catherine, please, come in." spoke Elizabeth smiling.
They all went into the dining room to have lunch.
"I hope you got the letter I sent you." Will said, with a mischievous look on his face.
"Sure did," Jack replied, "and I'd be happy to come to your wedding. When is it again? I have a rather crazy schedule, you know, saving lives.finding treasure.escaping death."
Will and Elizabeth laughed.
"Three weeks." Said Will.
"It can't be too overwhelming," said Elizabeth, "after all, you are Captain Jack Sparrow." Elizabeth retorted in a mocking tone. Jack, Will, and Elizabeth all laughed. Cat looked puzzled.
After lunch, everyone adjourned to the parlor to talk about the wedding, and catch up with one another. Jack told them about the storm, the rival pirate ship, and how the Rum fell overboard.
"I still maintain that Rum is a vile drink," laughed Elizabeth, getting up. "Cat.help me in the kitchen?" she asked. Cat nodded and followed her out of the room.
"So Jack, who is the girl?" Will asked. Jack grinned.
"I found her after docking at a port near here. She had snuck onto the ship. I still don't know why.she was probably just looking for food and shelter." Jack thought aloud.
"Do you fancy her?" said Will, already knowing the answer.
Jack looked over at him and thought for a moment before breaking out into a huge smile.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Elizabeth and Cat were immersed in conversation. Both were talking about their adventures on the Black Pearl. After a short pause, Elizabeth broke the silence.
"What do you think about Jack?"
"He's a fine captain." Replied Cat, smiling.
"You know what I mean!" laughed Elizabeth.
Cat just grinned at her before carry the dishes out to the table and began getting ready for dinner.
***
After dinner, Will and Elizabeth walked Jack and Cat to the door.
"Thank you so much for lunch and dinner," said Cat, "I really had a great time."
Jack shook Will's hand and gave a quick hug to Elizabeth before opening the door and walking out, waiting for Cat on the porch. Elizabeth gave Cat a hug and asked her to come to the wedding. Cat promised to come, then joined Jack.
They walked down to the beach and sat in the sand, still talking about the afternoon. Jack told her more about himself and his childhood.
"What about you?" he asked.
"I told you everything there was to tell." She responded, looking away.
"There must be something else, love." He said quietly. She looked at him, trying to capture this moment, his hair, his eyes, his mouth, in her mind forever. He leaned in slowly and kissed her. They both let their emotions feed into each other, rolling back in the sand, where they spent the night.
