Chapter 4

By the time Will made it up onto deck, the entire crew were up on deck and discussing the best course of action.

" We can easily out run them but their intentions might be hostile and in that case we would have to stand and fight." Jack told the crew.

" So Marcus to the crows nest and Tom to the back deck if it looks in any way like they attack whistle 3 sharp blasts and we will lower the port anchor and fire the long nines." Jack instructed as if he was born with the knowledge of how to keep a ship afloat. Will grinned as Jack walked to the wheel singing a little song he picked up from Elizabeth. It was so much cuter when Jack sung it though.

As the ship drew nearer Will could see that it ran up a flag of truce. Furious discussions were going on about whether the ship could be trusted. Especially Jack and most likely Will as well were wanted men. Jack wanted to know what they were up too and in the end he was Captain Jack Sparrow and his word must be obeyed. The black Pearl turned and sailed back to the ship which looked a lot like all the other ships in the navy tidy, well kept never seen a rough sea in her life. As the ship drew up next to them a voice shouted down from the crows nest,

" It's Miss Elizabeth."

At that Will's head snapped upwards.

" What?"

" It's Miss Elizabeth." Marcus's voice shouted down again.

" Are you sure?" Will shouted now frantic.

" Aye, and some stuck up Navy twits."

Oh my God thought Will. Why is she here? What am I going to do?

" William !" a voice called from across the water. Will saw Elizabeth waving enthusiastically at him and calling his name.

Will waved back slightly dazed. Why was this happening? What the hell was she doing here? The Black Pearl drew up close to the other ship which Will could now see was called " The Indestructible". He smiled at that; any ship that came in close contact with The Black Pearl was usually destructible. By now a gangplank was between the ship and Will saw a familiar face walking across it.

Will curse under his breath, Norrington. Brilliant, now Jack and him would be taken back to Port Royale and hanged! But as Will's hand went to his scabbard automatically to pull out his sword a hand was placed on top of it and he looked up to see Jack's face.

" Try not to do anything stupid."

Will smiled at him and put his sword back into his scabbard and walked with Jack towards Norrington.

" Norrington, what a pleasure it is to see you again." Jack said in a slurred voice and with fluent hand motions. The only way someone would be able to tell that he was being sarcastic was by the way his eyes narrowed.

" I wish I could say the same for you, Sparrow."

" Captain Sparrow." Jack corrected him with a smirk on his face.

Will's eyes were drawn away from his best friend and his worst enemy by the entrance of Elizabeth Swann. Though his stomach no longer did a flip when he saw her he had to admit she did look as beautiful as ever. Her hair was tied back in topknot with only a few wisps framing her face. She was wearing a lilac dress that didn't go out at the waist instead it went straight down and was quite slim fitting though it still went down to past her ankles. It was rude of course for a lady to show her ankles. It was probably the newest fashion in London mused Will as she slowly walked across the gangplank.

" Will." She said breathlessly. Giving him, her hand.

Will bought it to his mouth and kissed it gently, as a proper gentleman should do. There was an outbreak of cheers and catcalls as he did so and Will turned around. With a few direct words that a proper gentleman definitely shouldn't use the cheers died down. When he turned around he saw Elizabeth was looking at him disapprovingly.

" Will." She hissed. " My father is onboard you shouldn't make him angry if you are to ask for my hand in marriage. "

" Huh?!?" Will said completely shocked.

" Will," She sighed deeply. " You have to ask my father if it is acceptable for you and I to be married. If he declines then it shan't be allowed. So do stand up straight and make a good impression."

Will straightened up automatically and heard a snort of laughter from behind him. Whirling around he saw Jack standing there smirking.

" William, darling when were you going to tell me?" He said in a false high-pitched voice as he sauntered over to him.

" Elizabeth, darling how lovely to see you again." Jack said and kissed her hand in the same way that Will had. Laughs broke out behind them as the crew watched Jack being sarcastic and Elizabeth having no idea that Will and him and been sharing a bed for the last 4 days.

" Uhhhhhhh Izzy." Will said trying to get this over with quickly.

" Elizabeth, Will, my name is Elizabeth. Izzy is a name for servants and whores."

(AN : Very sorry to anyone called Izzy here. Its just there's this bitch at school called Izzy and that put me off the name.)

" Right.............Uhhhh Elizabeth." Will said trying to think of the best way to phrase it.

"Elizabeth, young Will here seems to be having some trouble with his voice, maybe I should help him out. Would you be willing to have a stroll around this here deck with me?" Jack said offering her an arm. Elizabeth took it hesitantly and walked away from Will with an apprehensive look on her face. Will made to walk back to the crew but an arm stopped him and he turned to find himself face to face with Commodore Norrington.

" Turner." He hissed.

" Norrington." Will replied extracting his arm from the older man's grasp.

" If you were still at Port Royale, you would be hanged like that." He hissed clicking his fingers for affect.

" Yes but we're not in Port Royale, are we?" Will said " In fact at the moment you are on my ship. So I would watch your tongue." And with that Will walked away from the man he had despised since he was young, finally having got one over on him. It was a wonderful feeling and he grinned as he walked back to the crew.

" Oy Will, what be going on ?" He looked up to see a timid looking Mr Gibbs.

" I'm not really sure." Answered Will truthfully. Mr Gibbs didn't look too comforted by his answer.

After a fearful 5 minutes in all of which Will felt like he was going to throw up, Jack and Elizabeth reappeared. Will let out a sigh of relief when Jack looked up and winked at him. Elizabeth walked up to Will who tried to make himself look very small, not knowing what to expect.

Elizabeth pulled Will in for a hug, which he returned half heartedly having absolutely no idea what was going on.

" It's alright, Will, Jack told me everything. I'm sorry for you. You're a good man Will Turner." And with that she strode over to Commodore and tugged at his hand pulling him across the gangplank. The ship quickly set sail and Will found himself staring at a dot on the horizon wondering what on earth was going on.

A laugh from behind Will bought him to his senses. " Jack," he hissed " What did you tell her ?!!?"

Jack just chuckled and gave the order for the ship to make way to Tortuga.

" Jack!" Will said again.

The other man just laughed and took Will's hand. " Now when I tell you, you can't be angry, savvy? "

Will nodded and waited to hear what Jack had to say. Jack drew his face closer to Will's and whispered in his ear.

" YOU DID WHAT ?!!? " Will exploded as soon as he heard Jack's words. The pirate just laughed at this. " You told her I was a eunuch!!"

" I simply said that as it happened you had a accident when you were a young lad and could no longer consummate a marriage."

" JACK !!!!" Will shouted. Captain Jack Sparrow silenced him with a kiss.
