Disclaimer: I don't own them. Don't sue me. (Though I would like to own Orlando and Johnny. And cover them with chocolate. And lick it off.oh, right, you want to read the story about these characters)
Feedback: Please, Please, Please. I need it, I live for it, I love it!
Archiving: Ask and you shall receive.I just want to know where it is.
Notes: There just had to be more. There will be romance in here, but I'm not going to tell you who it's between, because it'll ruin it. It isn't slash, which is the first for me in a long time. Enjoy!
Summary/Notes: It's a full year after the movie is over, and Elizabeth is restless. When Will agrees to help Jack and she comes along, where will it lead her? And what will happen to her and Will?
Dedicated to Alyssa and Sarah, who motivated me to get off my ass and start writing again. Thanks. (And Alyssa: Tye-mela'ne Orli. You better be able to read that. 3, Sblomie.)

Part 2
Elizabeth awoke with a start, hearing the shouts outside. Rushing to the window, she looked out to see the torn black sails at the dock. She looked downward excitedly, and found the source of the noise. A man was being dragged into the jail by the guards, and he was putting up quite a fight. From where she was standing, Elizabeth couldn't make out his words or his face, but she could see the wild hair and the glimmering teeth.
Elizabeth let out an excited whisper. "Jack!"
******
Jack leaned against the wall of the cell, battling the key carrying dog in a staring contest. The longer he sat there, the more he wished he hadn't demanded that Ana Maria keep everyone on the ship. He sighed, leaning back, trying to come up with some sort of plan.
He heard footsteps coming down the prison stairs, and he stood in anticipation. The dog cocked his head curiously, and they both watched as Will and Elizabeth came into view.
"Captain Jack Sparrow," Will said, with an amused look on his face. "You just can't keep out of trouble, can you?"
Jack smiled a crooked smile. "But then the two of you wouldn't get to be heroes."
"What are you doing here?" Elizabeth exclaimed. "Why would you come back? You know that everyone here knows who you are, and none of them much care for you."
"I had no choice, love. I was in desperate need of help from your fiancée there." Jack gestured to Will.
"Husband, actually," Elizabeth said, the words coming out softer than she intended.
"And I didn't receive a wedding invitation?" Jack said with false incredulity. "Here I wanted to dance with the bride at the wedding." He winked at Elizabeth, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
Will laughed, rubbed Elizabeth's arm, and turned back to Jack. "So what is this about needing my help?"
"Oh, yes, well," Jack began his token wild gestures. "As it turns out, being captain of the Pearl has its setbacks. Namely, the Ruby." Jack explained the story just as Ana Maria had told it to him. Will and Elizabeth listened in captivation, sharing meaningful glances now and then, having a non verbal conversation about the repercussions of helping Jack.
"So you see," Jack finished. "I'm in desperate need of some assistance."
"But why me?" Will asked. "Why do you want my help?"
"Because I imagine that part of this problem will have to be solved with a sword. And I recall you being rather talented in that area." Jack bared his teeth again in another crooked smile.
Will said nothing for a full minute, allowing the weight of Jack's words to settle on him. When he eventually spoke, it was cautiously. "If I go," he paused. "Elizabeth comes with me."
"Now Will - " Jack began, but Elizabeth cut him off.
"That, Captain, is not up for negotiation." She met his eyes, almost daring him to contradict her.
After fighting her gaze a moment, Jack broke eye contact and sighed in exasperation. "Alright, fine, the lovely Mrs. Turner will come as well." Elizabeth smiled with satisfaction. "Now will you get me out of here?"
Elizabeth leaned down and called the dog to her. Wagging his tail, he began to pant and dropped the keys into Elizabeth's outstretched hand.
"If only you had been here sooner, love," Jack said. Smiling, Elizabeth unlocked the door and let Jack free.
"Thank you, dear," Jack said, swaggering out of the cell. "Now we haven't a moment to lose. Let's get to my ship." Jack sped toward the entrance, with Will and Elizabeth lagging behind.
"Ready for another adventure?" Will whispered in her ear. Allowing herself to let out a girlish laugh, she grabbed his hand and ran to catch up to Jack.
