A few days later they were sailing their way to Port Royal. Now Riley wouldn't have a problem with this if it wasn't for the fact that Jack wouldn't tell her or even give her a clue as to why they were going there. He would just get this devilish, mysterious gleam in his eye every time he looked at her. Riley wasn't sure if she should worry or not, so she kept herself busy by doing chores around the ship. She was getting quite good at it too. She was definitely a natural around the ship. If you hadn't known her before, you would think she had spent her whole life on one. She was impressing the crew and gaining respect from everyone, which wasn't a easy thing to do with the crew of The Black Pearl. Now Riley wasn't one to toot her own horn, but she was very proud of herself. She even had the pirate lingo down, and it had only been a week! Yup, this was definitely the best thing Riley could have ever done for her life, and she didn't know how she would ever be able to thank Jack appropriately, but she would make sure she find a way some day.
Later that day, Riley was swabbing the decks when she heard a loud voice ring across the ship.
"Land Ho!"
Riley looked up and noticed for the first time the big island they were coming up on. She didn't even have to ask anyone, for she already knew what it was. Port Royal.
"Ready for some fun love?" Jack came up behind her with possibly the biggest grin she had ever seen on his face.
"What exactly are we doing here Jack?" Riley asked, nervous about what Jack had up his sleeve.
"Now now love, keep yer pants on, if I told ye why we were here then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"
"I don't like surprises too much."
"Sure ye do, everyone likes surprises, why the world would be no fun without surprises. They keep ye on yer toes."
"If ye say so." Riley said, still a bit apprehensive about what was going on in this man's head, after all he was known to be a bit, how do you say, eccentric.
It seemed with in no time they had anchored ship around a mountain of rocks so no one would notice the famous pirate vessel and Jack and Riley were rowing their way to the docks. As soon as they got there they got out of the little row boat and were weaving their way in and out of alleys, slipping their way in and out of the crowds, and after about 5 minutes, they stood in front of a very high class looking house. Riley looked on in awe, this place was extraordinary. Riley wasn't quite sure where they were or who they were visiting, but she had a pretty good idea. She had been following the history of Jack Sparrow for a while now, she wasn't called a fan for nothing. Jack casually walked up to the door and pounded like his life depended on it. Someone could be heard mumbling through the door and then it swung open. A young man no older than 24 or so stood in the door way, and as soon as he laid his eyes on Jack, he broke out into a smile just as big as the one Jack was currently wearing.
"Well well well, if it isn't Jack Sparrow, back so soon are we?" The man, now obviously Will, teased.
"First of all, it's Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow, and secondly, don't try te deny it whelp, ye know ye missed me." Jack said flashing one of those famous grins of his.
They were soon embracing in a huge bear hug. It probably would have lasted longer if it wasn't for the fact that Will had just noticed Riley awkwardly standing off to the side. She didn't look familiar, and he didn't remember Jack ever mentioning anything about a girl, so of course curiosity got the best of him.
"Who's the girl Jack?" He asked staring at her.
"She's me new crewmate and me biggest fan!" Jack boasted proudly.
"Your biggest fan?" Will asked, looking as if he were trying not to laugh.
"Oh I'm sorry, how rude of me, I'm Riley, Riley Masterson. Ye must be Will Turner." Riley smiled politely and held out her hand.
"Nice to meet you too, how did you know my name?" Will asked while shaking her hand.
"Well as Captain Sparrow here has already mentioned, I'm a big fan of his, I know quite a bit about his life, which includes yourself and Miss Elizabeth Swann." Riley explained.
"I see, so how does it feel to have a fan Jack?" Will asked while smiling at his friend.
"Ay, it be a proud moment in me life mate." Jack told him with his usual dramatic hand gestures.
Will laughed and invited the two in. They continued to talk and a couple of hours later, Will knew just about everything there was to know about Riley. Although he made a mental note to get Jack alone later so he could find out exactly why he had taken Riley under his wing, so to speak. They were in the middle of a conversation when they heard someone come through the door. They all looked up and within seconds Elizabeth appeared in the door way. She quickly took notice to Jack and let out a little squeal and ran up to him and gave him a big hug. When she finally got over her excitement of seeing her favorite pirate again, and not to mention so soon, she began to speak.
"It's good to see you again Jack. Tell me, what brings you back so soon?" She asked with the same curiosity that Will had displayed a couple of hours earlier.
"Well for starters, I know ye two are simply miserable when I'm not here so I thought I'd put ye out of yer misery for a couple of days, and I also wanted ye to meet me new crew member Riley, she's me biggest fan!" Jack explained while boasting with pride for the second time that day.
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry, I didn't even see you there, hi I'm Elizabeth." Elizabeth introduced herself after finally noticing Riley.
"Don't worry about it, no harm done. I'm Riley, Riley Masterson."
"Well it's certainly a pleasure to meet you, any friend of Jack is automatically a friend of ours." Elizabeth said politely, speaking for both her and Will.
"It's a pleasure ta meet you as well." Riley returned the friendliness.
"Well, now that introductions are out of the way, it brings me to me second bit of business, meaning the second reason why I have decided to come here." Jack announced with yet another huge grin plastered on his face.
