A/N: Well, with the help of a stretchy knee brace thingy, I can at least
get upstairs to write. So you don't have to worry about me not updating.
Anyway, what the heck is Jack doing in Port Royale (spelling???) You're
about to find out!
"Jack?" Will breathed. "What are you doing here?"
"Sorry, Mate." Jack said. "But I 'ave a bit uv a problem. See, I kinda brought Barbosa back again."
"You WHAT???" Will hissed, grabbing Jack by his collar and dragging him to the back of the room.
"Sorry, mate." Jack said. " 'is crew attacked me ship and I threatened to take another piece of gold from that cursed chest. 'An I did. Now I'm a mutant skeleton and Barbosa's the captain of me ship. 'An the rest of me crew is kinda workin fur him."
"So. . . You want me to come with you? You need my blood again?"
"Yep."
"THANKS FOR TELLIN' ME NOW!" Will said. "I'm getting married to Elizabeth! I can't miss my own wedding!"
"Wedding?!" Jack cried. "I looooove weddings. 'Specially when there's Ruuuuuum." He slurred.
"Sorry, Jack." Will said. "I'd go with you if I could. . ."
"Yeh can!"
"Can not."
"Can too."
"Can not!!!"
As the two men were arguing about it, Elizabeth appeared in the doorway. "Go with him, Will." She said.
"Elizabeth!" How are yeh, love?"
"I'm fine, Jack." Elizabeth said, forgetting to add the 'captain' at the beginning."
"That's Captain Jack to you, love."
"I can't." Will interupted. "Norrington doesn't know about our engagement. If I leave you here without me, he'll try to talk your father into marrying you."
"Norrington? Marry me? Ha!" Elizabeth laughed. "No, I'm coming with you."
"Elizabeth Swann, you are not coming, and that is final!" Will said.
"Yes, I am, William Turner." Elizabeth answered. "And nothing you say is going to stop me. I am bound to you by a love so strong that not even the purest evil can break our bond. Besides, you were the one who asked me to come!"
"YOU WHAT???" Jack cried.
"All right, I admit to that." Will said. "But. . ." He took Elizabeth's hand. "I talked to your father this morning."
"You did? What did he say?"
"He said yes." Will said, kissing her and forgetting that Jack was in the room. Just as they were starting to get used to the kiss, Jack dropped his gun. The clang of the metal on the wood floor scared them apart.
"He has the worst timing." Elizabeth thought.
"Your father said yes to what?" Jack asked.
"Will and I are going to get married!" Elizabeth said, happily."
"I loooooove a wedding." Jack began. " 'specially when there's-'' He stopped. "The pearl! She's back! Oh, crap, now both of you have to come!"
"I don't have to do anything, Jack." Will said, going to the drawer and pulling out the ring, then pocketing it.
"Will, you are a pirate!!!" Elizabeth nearly yelled. "And I am a pirates wife! Please, go with him. You need an adventure. And take me, heaven knows I want one."
"Right, then, let's go." Jack said, pulling Elizabeth out the door. Will followed. Then, BOOM! The cannons shot and hit not 10 feet from Elizabeth.
"Are we going to steal another ship?" Will asked. "The governor has just forgiven me for the first one."
"Nah, I have me a rowboat." Jack said. Then, at the look on Will's face, he added, "I wuz kiddin' with ya, mate! Kiddin'!"
Elizabeth looked at Jack. "Captain Sparrow, how am I going to climb on board of a ship in a dress?"
"You aren't going to be wearing a dress on the ship." Jack said. "I've got ya some breeches to wear. I'm sorry, I know you're disappointed that there isn't another corset to go with it, but you'll just have to work that out on your own. Go change." He tossed Elizabeth a bundle of clothes. "Pull your hair up and stuff it under a hat. We'll have to cut it on the ship. HURRY, WOMAN!" He yelled. Seconds later, Elizabeth was gone.
"You're going to make her cut her hair?" Will asked.
"How else is she supposed to pass for a pirate?"
"Your hair's long. So is mine."
"Not waist-length long." Jack said.
"Good point." Will muttered. And then, out of the door burst Elizabeth, hair in a hat, pants and a loose shirt on. She looked. different, Will had to admit, but it was different in a good way.
"Come on, Elizabeth!" He yelled. She followed. Half an hour they were on the ship that Jack had chosen to be his target.
"Okay, hold still." Will said as Jack steered the ship. "Please, Elizabeth, I don't want to hurt you."
"But. . . I don't want to cut my hair off!" She said, putting her hand on her head. "Besides-''
"Please, Elizabeth. Barbosa's out there. And it'll grow back." He added.
"All right." She muttered. "Go ahead." SWISH. A hunk of her hair fell to the floor of the ship and she gasped. "How short is it?" She asked. "please tell me it's at least as long as yours."
"A few inches longer." Will said. "Now the other half. . . SWISH. And the other half fell to the ground.
"It's a bit uneven." Jack said, looking up from his post at the wheel.
"Oh, well." Elizabeth said. "I'll live." ***
"We are nearing Tortuga!" Jack yelled the next day. "Elizabeth, love, it's a dirty town." He said. "Are you sure you don't want to stay on the ship?"
"NO!" Elizabeth yelled. "I'm a semi-pirate. . . I think I can handle a little drunkenness."
Tortuga, however, was more than a little drunk. It was a lot drunk.
A/N: How'd ya like it? Hope ya enjoyed it! School's just started, so I got a lot of homework and limited time on the computer, what with Homework and reading for S.P.A.C.E. and practicing my flute every night, so I may not be updating as often as I was.

Sorry about the massive Author's note. heh heh heh. too little sleep and not enough caffine.
