A/N: I'm not entirely sure what the layout of a town like Port Royal would actually look like but I'll try to make it seem like it's in the right time period.

Chapter Two

Shopping

Since you were about six stairs from the bottom of the staircase you figured you'd end up on the floor. Surprisingly enough you never even hit one of the steps, instead you landed in the arms of what you noticed was a very nice bodied and muscular chested man.

"Are ye okay, luv?" the dark haired pirate asked you as you looked up and into his face.

"Um, well, yeah, okay, I'm fine," you stammered. You didn't know why but you couldn't look away from his kohl rimmed, chocolate brown eyes.

"Good," Jack said, straightening you up and removing his hands from your shoulders (where he'd put them when he'd asked you if you were okay, before they had been around your waist.) You were grateful for him saving you but you were also glad that he hadn't noticed you blushing (as you know you had been.)

"Hello Rhiana, so good to see you again. William, Jack, this is my cousin Rhiana," Elizabeth said, introducing you to the two men.

Figuring you may as well be as polite as you can. You gave a slight curtsy and said, "good morning, gentlemen."

As William took your hand and politely gave it a kiss at the same time you hear Jack talking to Elizabeth. "See, she thinks I'm a gentleman," Jack said proudly, giving Elizabeth a mean look.

"Yes, except for the fact that she doesn't know you well enough," Elizabeth said, returning his look.

"Let's get going," William said and he ushered Elizabeth out the door.

"Ladies first," Jack said, bowing you out the door in front of you.

You walk down the lane to the carriage waiting out front. Since you were following both Will and Elizabeth you noticed that Will was carrying a wicker basket. Before you could ask him about it he was already inside the carriage, having already helped Elizabeth step inside. You were close to the carriage yourself and you were wondering how you were going to get inside. It wasn't that the step to get inside was up to high, it was that you knew your skirt was to big for you to get your leg up that high without having to hold onto something, all that dress material was heavy. Before you had to much time to worry about it a hand appeared in front of you and slightly to your right.

You turn and give Jack a gracious smile before you place your hand into his. He helps you up and you sit yourself in the seat across from Will and Elizabeth. A few seconds later Jack steps into the carriage and sits down beside you.

"Rhiana, I thought that we could go shopping this morning since you don't have any clothes with you. Afterwards we can meet up with Jack and Will for a picnic on the bluff. I suppose you guys can spend a morning together and not get into to much trouble," Elizabeth said, first speaking to you and the Jack and Will.

Your eyes get wide. But I don't have any money with me. For some reason you never spoke the thought out loud maybe because you felt to weird to say it, after all you were apparently a woman of high class and they should have lots of money.

"Trouble, me get into trouble? I would never, after I am an honest and trustworthy pirate," Jack said, acting offended.

"An honest and trustworthy pirate? You have got to be kidding me," you say, rolling your eyes. Then you realize that may not have been an entirely appropriate thing to say.

For a second everyone was silent and you were inwardly cringing, afraid that your comment was worse than you had originally thought. You let out a breath that you hadn't even realized that you had been holding when Will and Elizabeth starting laughing. You chanced a look at Jack and he gave you an exaggeratedly depressed look that you knew at once was fake.

The carriage halted and you knew at once that Jack hadn't been offended at all. As he had when you had gotten on he offered you his hand so that you could get down safely.

"Thank you, for all of your help today," you say, looking at him and realizing that you hadn't thanked him for any of the things he had helped you with.

"Let's go," Elizabeth said, and you walked away with her.

You walked down the street for awhile before she ushered you into a shop. You figured buying clothes in this century wouldn't be a lot different then buying them in the twenty-first, but when you walked inside there wasn't anything for you to try on. A woman, wearing a dress very similar to Jacqui's, came up and talked to Elizabeth before walking up to you with a measuring tape. Next thing you know she uses it to measure around your waist, around your bust, the length of your arms, and almost every other part of your body that would be covered by a dress. She wrote it all down and then she walked away.

You turned and looked at Elizabeth. "I didn't tell you earlier but I don't have any money with me."

Elizabeth gave you a concerned look. "I wondered if it was all in your trunk, apparently it was. That's fine though, because I can pay for it," she says and she walks away before you can protest.

The woman comes back out of the back room with armfuls of fabric and color swatches, as well as dress designs. Elizabeth walks back over, "Pick out at least three designs and colors."

Twenty minutes later you walk out. You had done what Elizabeth had told you to do, you had picked out three dress designs and three colors, with Elizabeth's help of course. You are told your order will be done in about a week.

"Let's go meet the men," Elizabeth says happily, leading you out of town.
