Chapter 4: Dinner Parties and Snowball Fights

Thanks for the GREAT reviews! They were greatly apperiacted. I'm still collecting votes. This week is the final week I'm taking your votes.

OK we left off when Will & Haley "almost kissed". So, who's the dark shadowy figure standing at the door? Read and find out!

" Hello, Miss Taylor. Hi William." Jack Sparrow said.
" Hi Jack." Haley said as her & Will turned away quickly, " Um. I should be going."
" Good-bye Haley!" Will said as Haley headed toward the door.
" Bye, Will. See ya around Jack." Haley said closing the door.
" William, do us all a favor and get a room." Jack said making sure Haley was gone. He'd been watching through the hole in the door, so he saw the "almost kiss".
" We didn't kiss. Hey, how'd you find out any way? " Will protested.
" I have my ways."
" Jack, it's not like that! It's nothing!"
" I saw the way you look at her and she looks at you, it's something!"
" It's nothing."
" Will, you can't leave Miss Swan hanging."
" Lemme guess, wait for the opportune moment."
" Yes, but that moment is soon. Very soon indeed."
" I love Elizabeth."
" You may think you love her, but the question is do you love Haley?"
" Give me a moment to think."
" Now this may take a moment."
" Maybe-Maybe I do." Will blurted out his true feelings.
" Well then, you better tell her soon. Before you get in a big mess." Jack said giving Will his final piece of advice as he left. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Will had thought about Jack's advice, but was still confused. He was torn between the two people that he loved.
Liz & Will are on a carriage ride to the Commodore's house for a dinner party that was planned after the ceremony. Will stares out the window thinking about Haley. He was worried and hadn't slept for days.
" Will, what's wrong?" Liz asked noticing he seemed worried.
" Nothing." Will said. Liz babbled, but Will didn't listen. He didn't hear a word.
" Haley!" He yelled as he saw her walking along the busy road.
" Beg my pardon!" Liz said.
" Stop, now." Will said as the carriage came to a halt at his words. He darted out and into the busy streets.
" Will!" Liz shouted.
" Haley!" he said again running up to his friend
" Hello to you to." Haley said a little startled
" Hi, so-how are you?" Will said calming down a little.
" Okay, quit the small talk. What's wrong?" Haley asked a little suspicious.
" Nothing."
" You've jumped out of a carriage, ran into a really busy street and you want to know how I am. What's going on?" Haley asked.
" I wanted to ask you." he started. He really thought that he was going to tell her how he felt. ". If you'd like to come to the Commodore's house with us."
" Who's us?"
" Elizabeth and I." Will said.
" Will, I don't think it's a good idea." Elizabeth shouted from the carriage.
" So, would you like to come?" Will asked once more.
" Sure." Haley said as the two went back to the carriage. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Everyone (including: Will, Liz, and Haley) are at the Commodores house for the 'party'. Tons of delicious foods are out on the table; turkey, ham, pudding, salad, etc. Everyone is taking little nibbles and they're silent. A pin dropping could be heard. It was so BORING!!!
" So, this is your idea of fun?" Haley joked.
" Not mine, Liz's." he replied. The Commodore gave them a dirty look.

" I think we're running the fun." Haley said. A while after everyone walked into the parlor for tea. The room was very elegant with chandlers and Christmas décor. Everyone was talking a little above a whisper. Haley let out a cough as she took the teacup away from her lips. It was horrible! It tasted as some poison trickled down her throat.
" Not used to upper- class tea?" Liz hissed.
" You mean snobby rich peoples tea?" Haley shot back.
" I just thought a pathetic pirate like your self couldn't afford it." Liz said. The words 'pathetic pirate' filled her eyes with tears.
" That's enough, Elizabeth! Let's go Haley!" Will yelled as he and Haley stormed out the door.
They walked through the quiet streets. The streets had wreathes, holly, mistletoe, and other Christmas decorations on doors, lampposts, etc. Christmas was only a few days away. There were a couple moments of silence.

" Thanks for saving my butt back there." Haley said quietly.
" Don't mention it. Hey, she insults you, she insults me." Will said gently.
" This may not be my place, but why Elizabeth?" Haley asked.
" What do ya mean?" Will asked trying to avoid the subject.
" Why do you love her?"
" She's beautiful and kind."
" You call that kind?"
" I don't know. I don't know, I guess it's the whole history with my mom and her foster parents. You know the story, right?"
" Not really."
" It's a long story."
" I've got time."
" I don't wanna talk about it."
" You can tell me."
" I really don't wanna talk about it. Sorry Will."
" Don't be sorry. I feel the same way with the subject of my dad."
" Okay, can we change the subject?"
" Sure. -So how long are you gonna be here for. Because if you'd like you can come to the Christmas party."
" I'm leaving Christmas Eve. Plus I don't think I could handle another day with Elizabeth."
" I see. Sometimes I feel that way too."
" Really?"
" No. I was just trying to make you feel better."
Will picked up some glittery snow and made a snowball. Then he threw it at Haley who was walking a few feet ahead.
" Hey!" She said. Then Haley did the same and threw it at Will. The two began to have a snowball fight as they ran down the snowy Christmas decorated streets. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
