A/N: Okay, did ya like the last chapter? Hope so.

The next day, Will woke up, Elizabeth's head on his chest. He tried to get up without waking Elizabeth, but apparently she was already awake.

"Glad to see you're finally awake." She said. "It took you long enough." She gave him a gentle kiss. "Jack wanted to see you. Go on, I'll be there in a minute." Will pulled his shirt on and left. Elizabeth sighed. She was the luckiest woman alive. And Will was the happiest man she had ever known.

Will found Jack by the wheel. "You wanted to see me, Cap'n?" He asked.

"Yeah. Well, I.....er.... Hang on a sec, mate." He said. "Oi! Katherine! Ya ever steered a ship?"

"Yeah."

"Come an' take over fer me, Lass. I gotta teach the idiot's son a lesson." Katherine took the steering wheel and Will and Jack went below.

"Arright, me bucko. I love Katherine. How do I tell 'er?"

"You tell her. You flat out tell her. Say 'Katherine, I love you'. Why?"

"Why?!" Jack asked. "Haha, very funny, lad. What'd ya say to Liz?"

"That was the day they were going to kill you. I walked through the crowd and said, 'Elizabeth, I should have told you every day since the moment I first met you. I love you.' And then I saved you."

"Saved? Ha, I think not." Jack said. "Yeh merely saved me from the rope. Arright, whadaya suggest I say to Katherine?"

"I don't know. Ask Elizabeth. She'll know what women like to hear."

"I can' talk to Liz!" Jack said, horrified. "She's like me sister! I can' take advice from her!"

"Yes, you can. Trust me. She'll listen and tell you what to say to Katherine."

"Aright, Will. But you've been warned. If Katherine finds ou' before I tell 'er, YOU WILL PAY!" HE left the room, still wondering if he should really ask Elizabeth for her advice. Then, he decided. Yes.

"Liz?" He asked, remembering to knock before he entered.

"Come in, Jack." Elizabeth said.

"That's CAPTAIN Jack!! How many times do I have to tell ye'?"

"Sorry, CAPTAIN!" Elizabeth said. "What do you need?"

"Er. I. ah." ~Come on, Jack, me bucko. Tell 'er. She'll understand.~ He thought to himself. "Liz, I think I'm in love." He said, flatly. "How do I tell 'er that I love 'er?"

"First of all, who is it?" Elizabeth asked. "Anamaria or Katherine?"

"Katherine. Anamaria and I never were more than goo' friends."

"First flat out tell her that you love her. Then say a bunch of romantic things." Elizabeth said, running a brush through her short hair. "Argh! I can't get over how short it is! I like it, though."

"Too bad, Liz." Jack said. He walked through the door and up the stairs, then onto the deck. "Katherine?" He asked. "Can I talk to yeh?"

"Sure thing, mate." She said. "Oi! Will! Take the wheel!" She walked to Jack.

"So what was it yeh wanted ta tell me?" She asked, leaning casually on the rail.

"Nothin' important, mate." Jack said. "Jus' tha' it looks like it migh' rain in a minnet, ye better get inside so yeh don' get all wet."

Katherine looked up at the sky. "Jack, it ain't about ta rain." The sky was clear and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. She laughed. "Captain, what was it that you wanted to tell me?"

"Can' tell yeh now, mate." Jack said. "Maybe. MAYBE when I feel yeh should know. Shouldn'ta asked ta speak with yeh. Yeh shouldn't know." Katherine walked back to the wheel and took her post from Will, who then went to Jack.

"Did you tell her?" He asked, leaning on the rail.

"Nope."

"WHY?!"

"I'm afraid of what she'll say!"

"Jack, you're a pirate! You aren't supposed to be afraid of anything!"

"Yeah, well, this is one thing I sure am afraid of!" Jack said, looking out over the horizon. A raindrop fell from the sky. "See? See, Katherine? I wasn' lyin! I tol yeh it was gonna rain, but would yeh listen to me? Noooooooo!" The laughter from all four was drowned out by a loud boom of thunder.

A/N: Sorry, I really hated to take so long, but I've been all over town for a long time trying to learn to ski (water ski) and we spend Labor Day at the lake with some friends and stuff. And I've got homework. And tests. Don't expect any updates anytime soon, because until football season is over, I'll be a bit slow on the whole updating thing. I'm sorry! Please, please PLEASE don't hurt me!
