A/N: Sorry it took me a while, but *sigh* Catch up work really sucks! Anywho:
Adsagsona-Thanks for reviewing...*sigh* Yes it is sad but Jack Sparrow will be retiring at some point during this story ;-)
On with the story!:
"I never made a promise." Abby said as she started to walk out of the alley.
"Aye...but th' tears in yer eyes were enough of a promise far me." Luke said as he fallowed her. "Did ye no' miss me?" Luke asked matching her stride.
"I didn't think about you." Abby said not noticing that Luke had halted in his stride a look of hurt in his blue eyes.
"Aye Abby, s'pose it be too much t' ask ye t' t'ink 'bout a filthy pirate like me." Luke said before he seemed to disappear into the crowd of people leaving Abby standing there dumbfounded. She took a deep sigh and started to walk again, but going in a different direction then the way she'd been going before. 'Good going Abby.' She thought to herself as guilt started to seep in. She just told the best friend she'd ever had that she didn't give one wit about him, and she hadn't even meant it. She walked through back alleys and short cuts, going to a place she hadn't been in four years. She came upon a grassy hill, the figure of a man standing at the top of it.
"Ahoy thar Matey!" She yelled up at him shading her eyes with one hand,
Luke had come to the place where he and Abby used to play together. It was their sanctuary. He watched as the female figure came closer and couldn't help but smile at her words.
"Aye, who goes there?" He called down to her.
"Tis Abby th' red!" she called up, using her pirate name. "Permission t' come aboard?" She asked. When they were little and played pirates, they'd both come up with fearsome Pirate names. Abby was Abby the red, and Luke was Bloody Lucas Sparrow. Luke was the captain and Abby was the first mate.
"Permission granted!" Luke called down as Abby walked up the hill.
"Luke...I'm sorry about what I said before." She said sitting down. It probably would have been better if she didn't apologize and ended their friendship. She knew she was setting herself up for another heartbreak. Luke was a pirate...he'd be leaving the moment his father decided it was time to go. Then again she'd rather have her few precious memories of him, then have to live without him for the rest of her life.
"Tis nothin ye need t' be apologizin 'bout." He said with a shrug as he sat down next to her. Luke couldn't help but look at her from the corners of his eyes. Abby had changed a lot since the last time he'd seen her. She'd become truly stunning.
"So Luke...is being a pirate everything you thought it would be?" She asked looking off into the distance.
"Aye...all tha' an' more." He said with a smile. "'Taint nothin like bein out on th' open sea, wind blowin 'gainst yer face. It's where Oi belong." He said leaning back and looking up at the sky. Luke sighed and looked at her once again. "So 'ows life been treatin ye?" He asked her as the wind blew his dark brown hair around. He had a few beads threaded in it and wore a red bandanna.
"Life's been pretty good. I've made a lot of friends and..." She said frowning as she looked away. This sparked Luke's curiosity as he raised an eyebrow.
"An wha'? C'mon Abby... ye know ye can tell me anyt'in." He said in a reassuring voice. Abby sighed a deep sigh and looked back at Luke.
"It's just that...well The Commodore's son had been trying to court me. I don't like him though...he's a...a wimp!" She said her voice sounding frustrated. Luke tried to hide the shock and anger in his eyes.
"Well then...perhap' oi should go take care a this boy far ye." He said standing up about to march down the hill.
"Luke, stop. Its not that big of a problem, father would never force me to marry someone I don't wish to be with." She said and smiled at him kindly. "Let's go home...mother will be dying to see you." She said as she started to pull Luke down with her.

"When d'ye s'pose we'll be leavin again?" Gibbs asked Anamaria as he looked out at the water.
"Oi dunnah, depends on when Cap'n and 'is boy come back." She said with a sigh. They were to busy talking to notice the row boat that slowly approached carrying Pirates from a ship hidden behind a mountain.

"Lucas!" Elizabeth said with delight as the boy walked into the room with Abigail at his side. "Oh my goodness you've grown so much!" She said pulling him into a hug.
"'Ello Mrs. Turner." Luke said returning the hug. Elizabeth had been like a mother figure to him and he had to admit he'd missed having her around. Jack stood and made his way over to Abby who smiled up at him.
"Hello Mr. Sparrow." She said with a sly grin.
"Cap'n...Cap'n Sparrow...Lizzy ye told 'er t' do tha' didn' ye?" Jack said with a grin before pulling Abby into a hug. "'Ow ye been Abby? I ain't seen ye since ye were but 12 years old." he said his arm still around her shoulders.
"I've been ok. And you?" She said politely
"We've been sailin allover, many memories." Jack said with a far away look in his eyes.
"So where be Mr.Turner?" Luke asked looking around. He still had the sword that Will had given him the day he left and he had to say, it was a fine sword.
"He's at work right now, he should be back around dinner time." Elizabeth said with a smile. "Shall we retire to the parlor and catch up?" she asked motioning for them to fallow her.
