Disclaimer: I own, Artemis, Apollo, Jamison, Araina, Hawk his ship and crew. That's it. Rest goes to other peeps.

Oh and btw. Do you want Jack and Araina back together?? Just wondering. I also need to know how to do italics and bold stuffs.. / s equal italics and ~are bold till I figure it out. Okies? Okies.

~~The Ball~~

Apollo and Jack went to Will's home to get ready. Elizabeth took the beads and dreadlocks out of their hair, many protests coming from Jack. Artemis went to Araina's without Jack knowing. Will came inside with the blacksmith apprentice. "Apollo, this is my son Jamison."

"We've met." They both said grinning. Jack, Will and Elizabeth glanced at each other confused.

"So, pissed off anymore librarians?" Apollo smirked.

"Not recently. Still go nameless?" winked Jamison.

"Apollo William Sparrow -"

"Jamison Jack Turner -"

"Wait!" Jack and Will both said. "You gave him my name as a middle name?" They finished in perfect unison. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and muttered something incoherent.

Artemis glanced at herself in a mirror. 'I really hate this.' she thought. She was dressed in a low-cut, tight in the waist, royal blue gown. The two women (her and Araina) refused to wear corsets. Smart people. Araina was in a near identical gown of forest green.

"So how are we going to get George out of the picture?"

"Kill him." Artemis said with the air of one commenting on the weather. Seeing the look on Araina's face she added, "Or not."

They stepped inside the governor's hall. Apollo and Jamison went off to find Artemis, leaving the adults to talk amongst themselves. Thankfully, Elizabeth did a good job on Jack. He looked noble and no one recognized him.

Araina entered with Artemis a bit later. Artemis was getting a lot of male attention and she didn't like it.

Little did any of them know another group of pirates were there. Would all Hades (A/N: Wahooo Latin extra credit!!) break loose? Most likely. But not till later.

Artemis went off to look for Apollo not knowing that Jamison would be with him. Someone bumped into her from behind. "My Lady." Came a raspy voice she knew all to well. She whipped around.

"Why are you here, Hawk?"

"To see you, me lass."

"I do not want to see you nor am I your lass." Hawk had her up against a wall.

"I find you strangely attractive you know." He said huskily.

"And I find your breath strangely rancid. See? Nothing in common, it wouldn't work." She got a glass of wine and tossed it on him. Then she tapped a servant's shoulder. "Excuse me, do you have an extra pair of pants? This man had a little /accident/." She smirked and went off. 'Must get out.' Kept running through her head.

Hawk watched her walk off in shock. No one said no to him. No one. He'd force her to like him! 'Ha! Take that Sparrow!' he thought. (A/N: you know i didn't intend for him to be all stalker like. it just kinda happened. *sigh* my sister tells me it's funny though. * shrugs * back to the story!).

"There you are!" Artemis turned around.

"Excuse me?" she said. Who the hell was this?

"Oh, you and your jokes, Araina. You know, you look younger tonight.."

'Oh carp. This must be George.. and he thinks I'm Mom.. damn! We just /had/ to look exactly alike! Argh! "Um, George how about you wait outside for me on the balcony. I'll be there in a bit." George nodded and went off. The twins ran into each other after another ten minutes had passed. "Finally!" Artemis exclaimed. "Hawk is here."

"What?!?"

"Ok, really, what does Hawk have to do with you two?" Jamison demanded coming up behind Apollo. His eyes got wide when he saw Artemis; he flushed then coughed. Artemis glanced at Apollo. "We'll tell ya later, savvy?" They said in perfect harmony. Just then there was a yell.

"How about no! You crazy son-of-a -"

"SPARROW!"

"Aw, hell, Jack!"

The teens turned their heads toward their parents. The "Anti-Sparrow" pirates of earlier and Hawk were there, swords out, ready to fight. Will ran up to the three of them. "Time for a quick get away, kids!" He pushed them, Elizabeth, and Araina without knowing it, outside.

"To the Pearl!" Elizabeth said.

"You knew about this?" Apollo asked.

"I had my suspicions when three of them kept hanging around following Will." Elizabeth turned to Araina. "So you haven't told Jack yet."

"No." Araina said. "We did have a plan, but as you can tell it didn't work out.

"Gah!" Artemis exclaimed all of a sudden. "Can't take it anymore! I gotta go help." She finished.

"Mom, you and Ms. Araina go to the Pearl. We'll meet you there." Jamison said. Elizabeth sighed.

"Just like your stupid father. Be careful. All three of you!." She and Araina said at the same time, then ran off into the night.

Apollo quirked an eyebrow at Jamison, "You know how to fight?" Jamison laughed and went inside. The entire room was filled with pirates. The other guests had fled. Jack and Will looked out of luck. Artemis' eye caught the hook where a chandelier was being held up. 'Excellent.' She unsheathed her sword swiped the rope holding it in place and down it went on top of the enemy pirates.

Apollo and Jamison glanced at her. She shrugged. The droppage of the chandelier was a great help. Jamison turned out to be an astounding swordsman, almost as good as them. Within minutes the four men and Artemis had basically outdone the enemies. Hawk was nowhere to be found. The five of them went outside. "Finally! To the Pearl, mates!" Shouted Jack. Jamison looked at his father questioningly.

"Yes, we're sailing with them Jamison." Jamison's heart leapt up in his chest. They were going to sea! Finally! And Artemis would be there...not that he cared...So would Apollo. So he'd have a comrade or two. "Our stuff is already there." Will was saying.

"You and Elizabeth prepared this a little to well." Jack said.

"Well with you old friend, it never hurts to be vigilant." Will laughed.
