A/N: Hey, I'm back. Sorry for the long update time. My mind has been
invaded by plot bunnies again. Also, school has started back up. And I'm in
the IB program. For those that know what it is, you know why it's been a
long time, and for those that don't, I'll tell you. There is a lot of
homework. But, I've got some spare time, so here I am. And again, sorry
about Jack's dialog. I think I have his character right, just not his
words. Just imagine him saying them.

"I cannot believe I am doing this, mate," Jack said as he followed Will into the parlor. Will just shook his head.
"It's your daughter's fault. She brought it up."
"Yes, well, it was your wife who offered," Jack retorted. No way was Will blaming this on a Sparrow.
Elizabeth and Jessica had already pushed the furniture to the side when the men entered. Elizabeth smiled and clapped her hands together.
"Well, first I think Will and I should show you a dance. You know, so you can see how it's done." She extended her hand and Will reluctantly took it. Jack and Jessica plopped down on the couch. Jessica was smiling genuinely, but Jack had an evil smirk on his face.
The couple danced for a bit, then broke away. "Ok. Jessica, I suppose you'll dance with Will. Jack, come here." She beckoned him with her finger. He took a deep breath then got up. Jessica had already bounced off her seat and was standing in front of Will. He seemed to have cheered up a bit after dancing with his wife.
Will took Jessica's hands in his and they pulled close together. He began to lead her steps. She stepped on his foot quite a few times. "Sorry."
"Whoops! Sorry."
"Sorry 'bout that."
"I suppose I have two left feet then?" She asked, blushing.
"No, no. You're just," he winced as she stepped on his foot again, "Inexperienced."
On the other side of the room, however, things were going much better than expected. Elizabeth expected to have to lead Jack for a bit, but he seemed to basically know what he was doing.
"I thought you said you didn't know how to dance, Jack," she said as they twirled around.
"I never said anything of the sort," he said as he dipped her. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.
"Well, where did you learn then?"
Jack smirked. "That's for me to know, and you never to find out, love." She laughed as they spinned around again.
Will heard her laugh and turned around. "They seem to be having a good time," Jessica commented, looking embarrassed. Jack was whispering something into Elizabeth's ear, who was smiling wildly.
Will turned and looked at Jessica. Her cheeks were red, and she was staring down. He sighed and led her over to where Jack and Elizabeth were dancing.
"Can we cut in?" Will said, eyeing the pair dancing. Jessica smiled meekly at her father and Elizabeth. Before Jack could reply, Elizabeth spoke up.
"That would be great, gentlemen." She nodded at Jack, and they broke apart. Jessica and Will followed suit. Will was about to take Elizabeth's hand when his wife grabbed Jessica's.
"Shall we, darling?" She said, causing Jessica to laugh. Will stood dumbstruck, but Jack just smiled, revealing his gold teeth. When a stunned Will turned to face Jack, he bowed and held out his hand.
"Shall I lead, or you?" From the other side of the room, Jessica and Elizabeth's laughter could be heard. The two women made their way over to the men. Will noticed immediately that Jessica seemed to be dancing a lot better with Elizabeth than she was with him.
"William Turner! Someone has asked you to dance. Will you not except?" Elizabeth said, trying to stifle her giggles. Jessica was also trying to do so, for she was shaking with silent laughter.
Will raised an eyebrow, sighed, and put his hand in Jack's outstretched one. "Wonderful," Jack said as he pulled Will close and started twirling around the room. Will was visibly squirming, obviously not quite comfortable with the situation. After a few twirls, however, Will seemed to get used to it and started actually dancing.
But Will, being a man(at least we think), was taught to lead when he danced with another person. But he had never danced with a man before. And Jack, also being a man, was leading as well. To see the two men, struggling over who was to lead, was quite a sight.
"Those two are terrible," Elizabeth said. The men had broken apart, and were now arguing fiercely. Jessica nodded.
"Will's a really good dancer, though."
"So is Jack. Honestly, men are such dolts. Would you care to join me in sorting this out?" Elizabeth said. Jessica smiled, and they danced their way over to where the men were still quarrelling. Jack's hands were waving wildly about, and Will's finger was less than a centimeter from the pirate's nose.
"--when you threatened my wife, eh?"
"-father never would've had a problem-" That last comment sent Will over the top. He seemed to inflate, turning bright red.
"DON'T YOU BRING MY FATHER INTO THIS!!" Will shouted, drowning out Jack's ramblings. He yelled so loud it surprised Elizabeth and Jessica, effectively making them step back a few paces.
Jessica leaned over and whispered in Elizabeth's ear. "Honestly, they argue like an old married couple." They both burst out laughing at that comment, causing a very angry Will to whip around, staring at them.
"WHAT?"
"You two are terrible. Quit arguing," Elizabeth said. Jessica nodded fervently. Will huffed and crossed him arms over him chest.
"He started it," Jack said, pointing at Will. Will dropped his arms and inflated again.
"I DID NOT! Why you...." Will glared hard. Jack stuck his tongue out and wiggled his fingers.
"ARG!" Will cried, before rushing at Jack. He jumped on Jack, sending him to the ground. He fell on top of his 'friend' and started choking him. Jack hit his head on the floor, and immediately began fighting back. Fists were flying everywhere.
Jessica and Elizabeth exchanged looks of panic, before rushing towards the brawl and ripping Will off. The women had to grab Will's shoulders and heave as hard as they could to stop them. Will fell backwards onto the floor, face red and sporting a bloody lip.
Jack sat up and examined his bleeding knuckles.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO?" Elizabeth screamed. "You two are supposed to be friends!" She said, looking back and forth quickly between the two of them.
"Yeah! Now, apologize, both of you!" Jessica added. Will glared at Jack, but he just smirked.
"Yes, mother."
Will huffed again and ran his hand through his hair. He mumbled something unintelligible. Jack put a hand to his hear and leaned closer.
"What was that? Couldn't hear you."
Will glowered at him again, saying louder, "Sorry Jack."
"Your turn, Jack. Apologize," Elizabeth said, putting her hands on her hips. Jack sighed.
"Sorry, mate," he said, then extended his hand. Will took it. Then he stood up, brushed himself off, and helped Jack up, replacing his hat.
"I think I've had enough dancing for today."
****
There you go. Chapter 5. I don't like it as much as others, but I still think it's fairly good. I figure Will has a fairly short temper, and mentions of his dad might throw him off, like in the movie.
Could you all do me a favor? Go read "Life was Good", my other POTC story. It's the story of Will's mother, and it's finished. And R&R for it, if you please. ;-)
